Chapter 110 – Homefront Preparation (1/2)

CHAPTER 110 – HOMEFRONT PREPARATION

Adoria, the capital of Siracuza.

The last baseーーit was surrendered bloodlessly.

Thioza who brought them up to one step before unifying the Siracuza territory disappeared, and because it was a situation where the main executives were defeated as well, the soldiers lost the will to resist without someone to lead them.

When I advanced alone with my usual「the rumored Demon Sword Wielder」appearance, the white flag was immediately raised.

☆

Adoria Palace, in the audience hall.

The sisters Fiona and Marie are sitting there.

Fiona sat on the right, and Marie sat on the left, on thrones that the Kings and Queens have used originally.

And in front of them, I asked their impression.

「How is it? How do you feel」

「E〜to……I don’t really know」

「It looks very extravagant, and……I feel like I’ll be uncomfortable just by staying here」

Just like Fiona and Marie has said, they look very uncomfortable.

They were fidgeting, and really seemed like they feel discomfort.

I get that feeling.

This Adoria’s palace is the most extravagant palace that I have seen.

It’s several ranks higher compared to the one in Calamba and Comotoria.

Vast open space, excellent pillar decorations, very soft carpet, and floor that is polished like a mirror.

It is so extravagant that I don’t have any clue how much it would cost.

The sisters had slowly started get used to acting the「Queen’s Power」, but they almost returned to normal being overwhelmed by this extravagance.

No, it might be even worse.

It’s like they advanced three steps and took four steps backwards.

「We will be working here everyday right……」

Marie whispered. She seemed very worried.

I decided free her from that.

「That’s true, but it’s alright if you don’t」

「Eh?」

「What do you mean, Kakeru-san」

The sisters stared at me at the same time.

「I told this before, but you are Queens. You’re Queens so you can just do it how you want it to. If you feel uncomfortable here, you can move to a place you can be comfortable in, if you want, you can even destroy it and change it to a place you can be comfortable in」

「I-Is that alright?」

「What’s bad with the owner of the house reforming it?」

The scale is different, but it’s basically the same.

When I said that, Fiona and Marie seemed to realize something.

「I see, it was alright to do that」

「Reform……I could not think of that」

「Yeah that’s right」

I nodded. Suddenly, an idea popped out of my head, so I told them that while grinning.

「If you want, you can carry the Purosu Diner and bring it here」

「The store?」

「In here?」

「Yeah, this place is wide enough for the store to be in it right?」

「It’s true……it’s wider than our store」

「The whole store can be inside」

「You can just place it in here. If that makes to most comfortable. And then, you can have the audience in the first floor’s seat. You can just make it like the audience of a messenger is with a Queen’s reception」

「……fumu, fumu, I see〜」

「Ah, Onee-chan’s face……it’s her face when she would seriously do it」

「He〜」

I looked at Fiona with Marie’s words.

Fiona’s expression became bright after hearing what I said.

According to her little sister, that smile of her that came from an uncomfortable one, was her face when she’s plotting something.

「Kakeru-san. Is it reallyーーokay to do what we want?」

「Yeah, you can do it however you want it」

「Won’t there be people who disagree?」

「Silence them with the Queen’s power. Tell me if you need physical power」

「Queen, and……Kakeru-san」

Isn’t that the strongest?

Fiona silently whispered.

「Ne〜, Onee-chan」

Fiona’s bad face infected her little sister, and Marie whispered to her big sister.

It looks like their tension has completely disappeared.

☆

I left the hall of the throne and walked through the corridor.

『They seem that they might become an unprecedented Queen. No, maybe having two Queens is already unprecedented』

「Did it not exist in history?」

『Was there a precedent in your knowledge?』

She asked me instead.

I thought.

「There was no two Queens, but there are a president and a minister, or an emperor and a minister. There are quite a lot of countries that have two tops existing at the same time」

『Fumu, then, I am convinced where your idea came from. Such thing does not exist in my memory. Such a country where several highest authorities exist simultaneously』

『Is that true? Okaa-san』

『Umu, no, it might not be true as well』

Inside my head, I felt Eleanor grinning, or having an emotion like that.

『There is only one with the highest authority in this country after all』

「Hmm? About which one who has the final decision? Is it the big sister, or is it the pattern where the timid looking little sister actually has the power. Well, either one is fine」

『I do not mean it by that』

「Un?」

Eleanor denied it. What does she mean?

I can’t really get the meaning why she said there’s only one with the highest authority. When I pointed that out, it felt like Eleanor made a half laugh, so I got more confused.

「Kakeru」

Rica came from the other side.

I placed my arms around her waist, kissed her, and asked.

「What is it?」

「A person who wants to meet with the Queen came. Probably, a troublesome person」

Rica answered as usual although her cheeks were flushed.

「Troublesome?」

「Un. A troublesome person」

「……I got it, make him wait」

Rica repeatedly narrowed her eyebrows to that「troublesome person」.

Hearing that, I thought that some countermeasures are needed.

☆

In the drawing room, there is one Jii-san.

The Jii-san stood up when I entered the room, but was disappointed after seeing my face.
