“You too, Puuse-san, are you holding up well? Ah, this is a present froa and Viine, who visited the royal castle, at the entrance, Puuse bowed towards Origa and then noisily chatted with Viine

The one welcoa is Imeraria

“A letter from the demons? The territory of your husband does not lack excitement, does it?” (I” (Origa)

Seeing the two young beauties exchanging words while s the castle looked war as one doesn't know about their rivalry revolving around Hifumi, they simply look like close noble associates on the surface

“There is soa and I have to talk about Puuse-san, I as you want to tell Viine-san, so it is probably a good idea for you to slowly catch up with each other” (Imeraria)

“Do not mind it That much is the duty of an employer” (Imeraria)

Puuse's official position is 『Advisor』, but she has been treated as guest and not as retainer As elves are long-lived, it h position as retainer Having said that, the prime ministers and his subordinates pondered and racked their brains over the whole matter, as it would be weird for a person with the position to consult the ruler to be a low-ranking noble or a government official, and decided to handle her as “Advisor who had been teranted a living room and an office within the castle, and an exclusive ned to her Recently Puuse, who had always lived providing for herself, was finally at the point of getting used to the suddenly changed lifestyle Though she still hasn't accusto orders to her icians in the castle, so I have the aic users even if I can't useout in the training of the knight order” (Ia)

They changed location to Imeraria's office And then, once Imeraria had told the maids to leave the room, any smiles vanished from the two's faces as they sat across each other

“It is a proposal for a ceasefire fro herself queen of the dereat, but…” (Iood news If the battle drags on for too long, it will also become a burden for Alyssa As the other side seeuess it is just the right tily contain implications that it's only natural to accept the ceasefire It's unknohether those are her own thoughts or so she was told by Hifu with this

“I guess you are right there I probably should accept to hold those talks” (Imeraria)

Suddenly the idea whether she can't make use of this situation crossed Isan, do you have any plans for tomorrow's lunch?” (Ia)

I it is as if it was just natural to do so with a smile
