Volume 2 Chapter 10 (2/2)
Saying that princess Lupis gaze immediately turned toward the four people, that bowed down, one of them being Ryouma.
”I see. There's indeed a teenage girl with silver hair... Are you really not the illegitimate child of the previous Rozeria's king, King Farst the second)
Princess Lupis immediately asked the biggest problematic issue.
”No, my name is Laura. Laura Marfisto. The elder sister of Sara Marfisto that’s also present here. ”
Sara nodded her head hearing Laura's answer.
”I see... Looking closely, you both indeed look similar. If not for the hair color, you would be like two peas in a pod.)
Her gaze is focused on the sisters.
Certainly, since they are twins, everything except their hair color was similar.
”Your highness... There's no information that the illegitimate child have a sister.”
The black haired woman talked to the Princess quietly.
”Marfisto, I'm familiar with that family name... If I'm not wrong, it was a family name of a Knight house from the central continent, is it not?”
”Yes. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a considerably famous family name... and their skin color and features are indeed from the central continent too...”
They both looked intensely at Laura and her sister.
For a moment, their line of sight intertwined with each other.
”I see now... Indeed, they certainly different from what we know about the illegitimate child based on the information about her that we received the other day.”
Princess Lupis muttered those words as if giving up on something.
That is natural.
If by any chance Laura was the illegitimate child of the previous king, King Farst the second, then the reason for the civil war could be removed, and the conflict could be resolved just by killing her.
”With that being the case, it seems like I won't be able to condemn any of you for retaliating against my knight.”
Princess Lupis muttered those words as if she was in trouble.
”I beg your pardon. To receive your highness tolerant words, I'm unable to express anything other than feeling grat.i.tude. ”
Ryouma graciously lowered his head when saying those words.
Actually, Ryouma and the others are the victims who got rolled up in this mess; thus He wanted to be a bit more aggressive.
However, if he has to think about the future, it would be not thoughtful of him if he took a heavy-handed att.i.tude when it wasn’t necessary.
Looking at Ryouma's admirable att.i.tude, a smile appeared on the princess' face.
”I'm not that stiff after all. In fact, we're the one who troubled you people... Is there anything you want?”
Ryouma pretended to be lost in thought for a while after hearing Princess Lupis words.
While in fact, Ryouma had already decided on the answer.
”I won’t ask of anything your highness; however, by all means, I hope your Highness would give our suggestion some thoughts as your highness a.s.sistance would be greatly appreciated.”
Ryouma said that, with a tone indicating he was in deep regret.
”Is this about the suggestion you had proposed to Mikhail?”
”Yes. That is correct. ”
Listening to Ryouma's words, princess Lupis showed a troubled expression.
If one looked at it from her viewpoint, it would be better for her to no longer concern herself with Ryouma here.
If possible, she wanted to just give them some money, and get rid of them from this place quickly. After all, Ryouma and the others were the reason for all the men they had lost in the operation. Making them literally one of the Knight’s factions enemies.
”... That is something I can't give a final answer right away... You understand why, right?”
Princess Lupis looked at Ryouma.
In other words, Princess Lupis didn’t mind joining forces; however, it would only gather dissatisfaction from her subordinate if they joined forces just like that, not to mention, Ryouma had said in his proposal to Mikhail that the knight faction would be destroyed even before the decisive battle against the n.o.ble group…
”Of course, I understand. However, if your highness only maintains the status quo like this, I'm afraid your highness won't be able to win. ”
”””You insolent b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You low life dares to say that!”””
Angry voices came from the throne room.
However, the princess and the black-haired woman standing beside her did not change their expression.
The one who raised their voices were the men standing under the throne.
”Your majesty! Please let me execute this rude person immediately!”
The man who had an adverse reaction when Mikhail’s’ life was spared, offered to execute Ryouma to the princess.
”Please wait. General. Shouldn’t we ask the princess what she wants first?”
”What are you saying, Meltina! Do you want us to keep silent when insulted!? What do you think a Knights pride is?”
(I see... She is Meltina huh?... As expected of the princess' aide...)
Ryouma listened to the argument between Meltina and the man whom she called general in order to get more information, even if it's just a little.
”Please wait! This person has never insulted us in particular! He merely spoke about his personal prediction!”
”What kind of stupid thing are you spouting about! This guy said that we're clearly going to be defeated you know? If that is not an insult then what is the meaning of that!?”
Logically what Meltina had said was right; however, she was unable to quell his anger. When one's emotions prevail, it clouds logical thinking.
It was Princess Lupis who had thought about Ryouma's words who put their argument to end.
”That's enough. You are all in front of a guest, do you know that!?”
There's no mistake that the guest she mentioned here was Ryouma.
Comrades who was arguing in front of the person they both looked down upon as a person of low birth.
Maybe due to realizing how funny they looked, Meltina and the general shut their mouth while lowered their heads in shame.
”We've shown you such an unsightly appearance... ... For me, even for a little, I want to decrease the amount of victim in this war, and at the same time, I also wish to win the war against the n.o.ble faction. ... Do you think you will be able to accomplish it?”
The princess finally told Ryouma the words that he wanted to hear.
”Of course... I will answer your highness expectation without fail. ”
Saying that, Ryouma bowed his head down toward the princess.
