Vol 2 Chapter 39 (1/2)

望みへの糸口~ The beginning of Hope

「Is it okay, Alice-sama? It was not necessary to undertake her request 」

「Well as I understand So, please do not show such a grim face, Ilya」

On the way back, it takes a while to get back to the lodge so Ilya draws close to me

Calm down Calm down

Francesca’s desire is to have her own representative getting well-known in the liht

In short, it is that sort of thing

If that happens, it will be a power struggle in the battle tournament

Perhaps, the influential person who Francesca is battling against is also planning to send in their representatives

「This country is probably rougher than I thought Do you have yesterday’s report, Ilya? 」

「… Certainly, I a infor at the next regent seat 」

「I a has passed away several years back and now the young prince is in his place or so?」

「Yes, Prince Dioru The regent is Ro is deep and in addition he is a devoted retainer 」

「Francesca is that Roht?」

「Francesca Wilton’s granddaughter」

I do not think that you alone have a capable right-hand man, Francesca

Well, by nomy free time to collect information

Ilya’s too cool

Theconcisely

Thanks to that, I felt at ease for not being a clown dancing in Francesca’s palms

… Well, but i cannot guarantee that our rasped by them

「She is one of the big three faht?」

「Yes, Austria Faton fa for power in the kingdom 」

The decayed royal family huh…

Til has sharply talked about it but I sort of trust her a little more

「The guy behind Francesca?」

「I am really sorry I do not know him」

「It can’t be helped It’s only 1 day after all」

That’s far as Ilya is concerned, I am sure

Although she is like a ruffian, now she is good

「Francesca’s house is the ainst the ith the republic That is the truth, aht? 」

「Even if it’s a little, that seems to be Romusu-tono’s will」

「That Ro down due to illness but this is the current situation given」

Ilya nodded her head

「Autria faerent die-hards As for Sacremento family’s current situation, I do not know much」

「However, both head of the families are healthy 」

「Yes And the Wilton Family Francesca-sama’s parents died several years back due to an 『accident』」

「Francesca’s e?」

「There is a possibility」

This is an extrely disapprove it

Even if you think about that, it is no wonder But…

Compared to that, I am worried about the last feords that Francesca talked about just now

「……The republic dog Ah! I a in my words!」

「No! I understand, therefore I trust …… Alice-san nya」

「Thank you, Saira」

Saira who is walking opposite of Ilya, shook her head forcefully

TL: I a like this IlyaAliceSaira

In order not to betray this trust, If there is so I can do then I must do it?

I do not want to see the beast tribe bearing the full brunt of the war etc

No, in reality it does not stop with just that

「If the republic spy enters… the Austria family?」

「If there are pre a war」

「Premises huh…」

If the republic were to start a war, do they think that they in?

There is such an overwhel difference in power?

I had just came into this world, therefore, I do not quite understand relationshi+ps between the countries

「I ae」

Literal TL : he is full of holes Ie lacking of things he doesn’t know

Trying to poke around the bush takes efforts too 「Ojou-sa part in the battle tournament?」

「The surface power struggle, I will take part Francesca’s battle will be the other side no?」 TL: The author uses 表 and 裏 which can be depicted as both sides of the coin, namely heads and tails It can also be describe as front or back Therefore, in this case, Alice is trying to say she will be the one out in the open while Francesca will be in the shadows

「I understand what you had said However, in the first place is that lady a trustworthy person?」

「Fufu」

Ilya tiled her head at hter

「I a」

That butler indeed seems to have said that

「Wil lady is Francesca I do want to avoid the war Using this chance is effortless no? 」

「If Ojou-sama were to say so 」

By chance huh But just because it’s a coincidence, I can’t just not worry The uproar caused by Francesca is a little hard to fanthom When you think about …The flip side of the flip side and so on, to some extent you will become someone like Til who do not trust humans

「As for now, I aton’s representative I will exeht side Trickeries on the dark side will be taken care of by Francesca」

「But, Ojou-saer」

TL: the author uses consider in a very polite manner

「You will protect me, Ilya?」

「It’s probably worth doing, I guess」

Ilya smiled bitterly

At most, I will make use of the 『Free』status I have in my palm,

TL: Alice is not a slave, a free person she is talking about using her free status to beco defeat

So It’s mutually beneficial
