Vol 9 Chapter 150 (1/2)
Royal Princess
Lorphys’ royal castle had a sturdy make
The town around it was organized for efficiency If you want to put it another way, it gave off quite a simple impression
And within that siant It’s just, it looked to be that a number of ornaments were forcibly adorned
The red carpet spread out, and at the rooe chair Beside her sat her engagement partner, the prince of Selva
Princess 【Annerinne Lorphys】 had her hair in a half up But her long hair was her pride It was tied at the end, and when she sat, she would drape it over her shoulder
Her violet hair began to turn pale around a third from the tip
A white dress, and perhaps for the sole purpose of resting her hair on, a redaround her shoulders
Her skin was pale, and had a kind-looking expression Her slightly-drooping eyes contained green pupils
But her face looked a little troubled
She took solances at the reactions of her fiancé beside her… 【Dario Selva】 Perhaps her s fiancé wasn’t quite amused, as his smile was stiff
His white hair, and co made his tan skin look overly pro at us
Beside the royal princess… a few steps down, sitting in the closest position to the couple, Prime Minister 【Lonbolt】 cleared his throat, and proceeded the conversation
“Well then, your request is to be left independent Is that correct?”
Forh Priest Gastone-san denied it The heads of both men looked oh-so lonely, so perhaps a sort of sympathy had been built Lonbolt-san’s tone of voice was a kind one
(Lonbolt-san looks like he has his troubles)
While he didn’t have hair on his head, his eyes were sharp His body was sli him feel worried That was Lonbolt-san
“No Not our own independence, ish to retake our country The reason we have opened thisin Lorphys is only to proclai any attacks on your side”
Around were nobles and knights, enough to make the audience hall feel narrow
From the Jewel, I heard a rude voice
It was the Seventh
『… It’s shabbier than my mansion』
The Third spoke
『Well, even when compared to what the Fourth had at his ti it』
Confir the faces around, the Fifth
『They’re too sather troops… if they don’t have the numbers, they have to raise the quality I see, they do see soe? The others are nice and simple』
The Fourth spoke
『It’s kinda in bad taste Even from my point of view, it’s in bad taste』
The Sixth see at Dario
『… Could it be that prince called Dario’s preferences? Around his arms and neck, he does have an excessive amount of orna』
Selva was a country with a considerable amount of history They weren’t new upstarts, but I couldn’t say they had particularly good taste either
(Is that their national character? In that case, it’s been arranged to match Selva)
Lonbolt-san addressed Gastone-san
“I see; so you’re ai to retake And for that sake, you seek our assistance”
The one to speak out there was Thelma-san
“No, ill move of our own accord Let’s see After reclamation, there will surely be times we’ll seek out your assistance”
Aura-san stayed quiet Both she and Thel the dresses Monica had prepared, and the eyes of the surrounding athered on them
Daria whispered so quietly to princess Annerinne
After observing that action, I looked around I didn’t let slide that Alette-san and the other knights weresome unpleasant faces
And royal princess Annerinne opened her mouth
“But I’ individually will prove difficult What say you to taking up a stay in Lorphys? I think there’s a share of things we can do for your cause”
Thelma-san spoke
“No, the senti so much trouble to Lorphys, we know full well how much we’ll be afforded”
What ished for here was an agreeoal was to see the princess
Besideat the princess Noasn’t the ti wuite a serious face… rather than that, it felt as if she were ascertaining so
On my other side stood Miranda
Miranda was sending her eyes at Daria
Princess Annerinne was…
“If you cootiations will become possible We’ve finished preparations to hand over ourthis war?”
In regards to that persuasion, Thelma-san
“I appreciate the proposal But this war has already passed the point of evasion Ar on the border It seehts have already broken out And Zayin is won’t back down until the result they seek is before their eyes”
Zayin didn’t want mithril from the start What they wanted was a pretext to attack It’s only that ht time
When Thelma-san was about to persuade Princess Annerinne back, her fiancé Dario made a move He stood, and clapped his hands
After all eyes gathered on him, he opened his mouth
“No, this is truly wonderful A Holy Maidena stand for her homeland… no, former Holy Maiden, was it? I do find it beautiful But instead of looking only at yourselves, I wish for you to look at Lorphys’ current state of affairs Not to be mean, but you are the ones who have caused its current strife Isn’t it only reasonable that you lend your assistance?”
It was a sound opinion, but I knew
Selva waspreparations
Putting together the inforathered by information dealer Rauno-san, and the conclusion he reached… hearing his hypothesis, there were a few places I could nod to
(Selva is in a hurry)
The reason for their hurry was that they neighbored the two reat war… the country shared a border with both of those women of war
To oppose them, national poas a necessity, and they also needed cooperation with other countries Rauno-san hypothesized that it wasn’t Lorphys, but Zayin that was aiding them
(Well, I can’t really say where their real objective lies, but whether it be whittling down, or snatching, there’s no doubt that a tasty outcome awaits for Zayin and Selva)
And this time, Lorphys’ position was that of the prey
Aura-san opened her h of the atmosphere here
“… We are saying ill resolve the problem on our own And our proposal is just as you’ve heard Wouldn’t that be most beneficial to your side?”
Our proposal
It was rise to action in the parts of Zayin’s territory that had once belonged to Lorphys So far, we had captured a declining fortress, and ere going to direct ourselves as an independent power from there
It was a pain, so I didn’t really want to do it, but if eren’t going to stick onto Lorphys’ side, there was no choice but to choose a route like that
Iby every word of fiancé Dario It wasto Selva’s will even more blatantly
(If ent and joined this side, we’ll either be confined to the reserves, of assassinated… what a pain)
One of the lined up nobles raised their voice
“Your highness If they ions, Zayin will have no choice but to direct so it will cut down their deployment on the front linesWouldn’t it be best to accept this talk?”
The other nobles as well
“Right now, chipping away at the enemy forces is vital From Zayin’s perspective, there’s no way they could overlook the stand of these former Holy Maidens More so, I think it fine if we offer the ourselves Goods, as well as soldiers and funds The more they have, the better for us”
He said to support us, but he was seeing us as a diversion for the eneht decision if he wanted to protect his homeland
There, Princess Annerinne
“Even before war has begun, you already think of fighting… it is the government’s role to search for ways to avert it no matter what”
(She’s got a point there But theis…)
The Sixth put hts to words
『… Naïve It isn’t before war has begun It’s long since started Perhaps this girl would’ve become a fine queen if she didn’t put out her mouth in times of peace』
The Third too
