Chapter 15 (1/2)
15 Brothers’ Conference
[Alfred’s POV]
Today Ariel-aniue, the King, su we need to discuss secretly a us brothers
The two of them have already sat down in their seats earlier when I entered the King’s study
“Sorry I’m late”
“No, you’re just on time”
Alex-aniue answered while pulling up a chair
When I sat down, Ariel-aniueblack tea withdraw He also repeatedly instructed the guards to not let anyone inside no matter what
I could not help but wonder what in the world the discussion will be if he was this high-strung
Ariel-aniue returned to his seat, and after breathing out a sigh, he began to speak with a grave expression
“Both of you, thank you for coh you are busy This is sudden but I had you come today because I want you to tell me your opinion on the contents of this letter”
He said so and took out a letter
And both I and Alex-aniue were at loss for wordsthe wax seal crest stamped at its back
“Isn’t this the country of Caspar’s seal? Surely, this isn’t be a declaration of war, right?”
I asked in a haste
Since the Emperor took over, they have not started a near so it was an unexpected situation
If there would be an outbreak of war, the one in charged of the military division would be me
As a ician, Alex-aniue will also have to participate in the war
Just as the i necessary matters popped into my head, the answer that came from Ariel-aniue was unexpected
“No, it’s different Rather, it is the opposite They want to form an alliance with our Orania”
“”Huh?””
I synchronized with Alex-aniue at being excessively mistaken
“The current Emperor of Caspar seems to be a pacifist It appears like they want to introduce tourism industry in their country with our country as a reference Therefore they want to tie an alliance As a co military affairs”
For that 『Aloof King』 to be a pacifist, what a ridiculous statement
Although I only met him once when I participated in a cere appearance indeed 『aloof』 itself
I should absolutely avoid situations that will result toaimpression he left
That was the kind of oals
“Our country rereat war Therefore it is also difficult to say that our ainst other countries However, in the recent years, I also received reports that there areto start a ith our country To be frank, I think I’m thankful If Caspar supports ourto start a ith our country will disappear”
What Ariel-aniue said was the plain situation of our country at present
“However, that sort of too good to be true story, there is no way it would be free right?”
The doubt of Alex-aniue was also justifiable
The condition they attached athered today
“The condition is 『to let a woman, or a man with the appearance of a woman, from the royal family marry the Emperor as the Empress Consort』”
What kind of condition is that!? I instinctively let out a retort
Ariel-aniue continued
