354 345 And its hard to keep track of all the competitive trends (1/2)
Another side Hanzibar Empire
The tea party began in the garden in a cage, present in the palace.
I don't know if I can name it that, but the people who participated were so gorgeous.
And it was so full of tension that the word ”enjoyment” doesn't even remotely come to mind.
”Your Majesty sent your dog, Dazlo, into the demon world just a month ago.
Maintaining a smile and a resolute attitude in the face of such an atmosphere, the third princess of the Hanjibar Empire, Henri ponders in her head how far to explain.
Her goal is the end of this futile war.
And to prepare for the meaningful war to come.
You should have seen the look on his face. I couldn't help but laugh when he asked me over and over again if I was joking.
She was like a puzzled dog and always thinks differently than her mouth, while telling you that she was like a puzzled dog.
Which information, at what time, in what order and in what order, and the selection of candidates is the biggest key in this place.
We must fight between beings living in the same place, despite the fact that our certain enemy is on the other side of the river.
It was with this certainty that I acted in secret, but my father, the most important obstacle, finally found out.
That's fine.
The revelation was part of the plan.
No idle talk. Just get on with it.
Excuse me. Let's start with purpose, shall we? That's why you sent Daszlo to the demon world.
To the extent that it's not obvious, it increases the turn of phrase, buys time to think, and keeps the information in your head.
Thirty percent is information gathering, another 30 percent is security, and the other 40 percent is curiosity.
How far do I have to go to convince my father, the emperor, and my uncle, the vizier, to listen to our explanation in silence?
And how well will I be able to conceal my true purpose?
Even the real-life chatter is a cacophony to his father, the emperor.
The battle is cut short and it's hard to buy time.
I will not use deception as a tool here.
It must not be used.
If you do, these two will use that deception as an opening, a window of opportunity.
Because she is of both blood, she understands that a lie is a fool's errand.
Therefore, the best protection is not to tell.
But instead of just being silent, how to get them to walk by without contradiction in the story.
That's the key.
You must pretend to be natural, hiding the treasure chest in an obscure byway and not letting the adventurers who come looking for it know.
.........
I don't find it uncomfortable to have a conversation that doesn't even have a counterpart.
I am aware that this is my father and that he loves me as a child, but if I am here as a king, I am facing Henri as a woman, not a child.
It all started with a study of Daszlo.
Get the information out, and if you agree, it's over.
What a stupendous relationship.
”A dungeon from the old war. There aren't that many of them with his presence up and running. It is said that the depths of the remaining dungeons lead to the magical world.
But for the time being, Henri thinks it is the right thing for a king to do.
On the contrary, if he sat down as a private citizen, he would be eager to smoke them out by any means necessary.
This opportunity is a crisis for her, but it's also an opportunity.
But only if the brave man who reached the end of the dungeon knows, and he knows that this is so because he defeated the demon king.
This king and vizier are the standard-bearers of the main warring faction.
There are great noblemen among the moderates, but in front of these two, they are one or two lesser.
It would be a different story if she became a bannerman herself, but Henri's goals and those of the moderates are not aligned.
For Henri, the actions of the moderates who want to end the war are just a part of the process, and she is the main warrior who wants to prepare for the next attack of the Demon King.
Therefore, the two of them need to change their opponents to fight.
But I also understand that it is impossible to convince and persuade these two men at this moment.
So I will drive a wedge between the two of them.
I've read all kinds of books, and all of them are consistently the same for that part of the story.
It was Henri who smiled and said, ”That's funny.
There were no other witnesses, only the brave ones who survived to tell us about it.
Most warrior sons and daughters would be able to draw out their agreement with this smile, but not the two of them who are skilled in the battlefield of aristocratic society.
So I thought I'd check to see if it's true or not. Is the back of the dungeon really connected to the magical world, and is the legend of the brave men true? I had Daszlo study it. That was about 'two years' ago.
A smile just to hide their feelings.
And the flow to say two years.
”My, are we getting ready to start this war?
”Yes, that's right,
Does that give you a convenient cover, from your point of view?
Yes, that's right . Uncle.
Everything in war is won or lost in the preparation stage.
Food, soldiers, strategy.
All things must be set in motion to anticipate all things.
It's a unique opportunity for her.
Once Henri saw this war in motion, she set in motion the flow she needed.
Two years does not seem like a long time for an elf.
But for her, the days leading up to the result were like a thousand autumnal days.
And .
”This was the only time that two years seemed like a long time. When I heard the results from Daszlo, I was so happy I felt as if I were in heaven. It was the very moment I realized the significance of the dungeon's existence.
Nikoli smiles at her, this time with a different meaning.
'You scared me.
The emperor and the vizier sense something indescribable in Henri's smile, which has changed from a smile as bright as the light of the sun, to a beautiful but cold smile as if it were a snowfield blowing in the wind.
