A few days later…… after the end of the conflict…… I was processing all left over problems from the war and waiting for Lyle and Dida’s return.The atmosphere of the hall, which had been tense all this time, has relaxed after the good news. The Acacia Kingdom’s army had been defeated and the peace came back to the eastern territory after the victory…… However, the country is currently at war with the Twil’s country.Although this war is not as dangerous as the previous situation, but the chief officers still spend their days feeling tense.I’m the same.If it were to happen that Tasmeria kingdom is defeated, our future will be grim.If that happens, the Acacia Kingdom will probably move again against us.“.…… Well, Tanya. What is the situation?”“The First Prince is commanding the troops in the place of the former Count Monroe. It seems that the people’s distrust for the Tasmeria kingdom is deep and persistent and they prefer to ignore our country’s situation and not take any side.”At those words, I stopped my hands unintentionally.“I didn’t know…… that the situation was so bad, Tanya”“I am sorry. I thought that the matter with the Acacia Kingdom should be prioritized as the territory was in a dire situation at that time, so I kept quiet about it.”“.…… No, this is bad. Even though, if you said me this before, I would only have lent half an ear if I listened it at that time. But Tanya, if possible, no matter how bad the situation at the north is…… I want to hear about it.”I also reflect on myself, repeating that I should not be emotional about it.Indeed, I have yet not to respond to the mention of “His Highness the First Prince”.“Even if the people struggle to not defend any side, they’re not going to end up colluding with the enemy I hope……”“Yeah, the common people of the Twil’s country were forced to fight, so they may have more mistrust towards the Twil’s country intention than our troops.”No way…… he is going to the battlefield ……Is it safe? I want you Dean to be safe.It is frustrating that he is so far away from me and I can’t know his current situation.Anxiety and fear spreads in my heart.I want to be by your side.I want to help you.Yes, I was screaming it from the bottom of my heart.My reasoning shuts the voice that comes from such impulses.And I switched topics inside my head so as to keep that voice away from me.“.…… from those captured of the Acacia Kingdom, what reports do you have?”“Those people do not seem to be well informed about the attack they performed at the Duke of Almeria,”“What is the king over there thinking?!!”The more I think, the more I get angry.Even if it was not an idea from the king but from a prince, what a good idea to use another prince and attack the place governed by your recently proposed to marriage candidate.It is like attacking with a knife held by the left hand while seeking a handshake of friendship with the right hand.“But it’s good that Acacia’s kingdom military hasn’t made a big move.”With our power, We can’t fight against a nation’s military might.There are not enough people, supplies or anything.This is true not only for the Duke of Almeria, but for the Tasmeria kingdom as well.“I agree”Tanya also agreed with a bitter expression.“.…… Did you find out anything about the royals relationship of the Acacia kingdom?”“There are five princess, six princes, and ten spouses from the polygamy system they have. It is the third prince, Kaadir, who offered you marriage earlier. Acacia’s king is now very old. It seems that there is a dispute over who is the next ruler undercover, but there’s a rumor circulating that Kaadir is not interested in taking the throne, and at the same time, he has not shown any movement at all. It is rumored that the third prince is the farthest from the throne, with the exception of the second prince. ““Every country has a throne dispute when the king is old.”An ironic word popped out of my mouth.“Even though, he’s the farthest from the throne …… Hahaha! ““What is it?”“I think I understood him now.”“In other words, do you mean your intuition feels something about all this?”“.……No, it’s a little bit different in this case. It’s a deduction from facts and not my intuition alone. I think…… because he hid the fact that he was a prince when he came to visit last time. Considering Tanya’s story and what happen at the east……”I noticed that Tanya also noticed the oddity in my words, as her face changed for a moment…… A country messenger means carrying a signboard of that country.They will not select people who are not involved in government affairs at all.The reason is that the country’s name will be damaged if it is done for some reason.Considering the status of the third prince, it might be possible to foil the mission, but at that time there was no one other than a group, who would practice on his side.“I’m not interested in the state administration? Not showing any movement? …… It’s an obvious thing. He is quite good at considering that he has an outstanding reputation and that despite all the affairs as a messenger. It is a human resource who can not hesitate to cooperate for his move and can spoof well so as not to reveal that he has moved.If you look exactly like somebody somewhere, I feel a wry smile.He was also making steady ground for a while without standing up and moving.That person in our country is the status of her mother.And probably because Kadir is the third prince.The pile that comes out will be beaten …… It may be that you are brushing your hidden fangs to avoid that.“So I think he is likely to aim at the throne.”Suddenly, thinking up to that point diverts thinking.For him, marrying with me may have less merit.After all, it would be better to have a strong house in your own country.On the other hand, if a child is born with me, a blood-blowing Tasmeria nation will have the right to take over the throne. …… It may be possible that a strong house will be against it.Or do you intend to make a child with another niece, making me a famous niece?Thinking so far, with a grouper, I wonder if I can not think so right now, and I have a wry smile.“.…… let him keep an eye on his future movement”“I’m getting lost”Just at that time, a knocking noise was heard from the door and Sebas came in.“My lady. Lyle and Dida who had been to the east have returned.”“It’s good. …… I’m sorry I’m tired, but could I ask you to just report?”“I was about to come here as soon as I gave the guards instructions for post-processing.”“Yes, I understand, thank you.”Ten minutes later, I heard knocking again.When I was allowed to enter, it was Lyle, Dida and mother who came in.“mother!?”“After a long time, Iris”I just made a loud voice to the person of the day.Well, though, we are the only one on this occasion, so it’s fine if you say it’s fine.“Why, here?”.…… Speaking of that, I still remember.It was more than a dozen days ago that the mother brought in the Anderson fort guard.I do not know at all the mother’s trend after that.Is the expression that the idea did not reach so far appropriate?“Hey, mother …… in the east with the people of the Anderson fort guards?”I think it is a question that has no surprise.However, I remembered the words of mother.I was told that I always call my mother, but ……“It’s not together, because I took me to the east”After all, was it ……! And, I feel insider.No way, who can imagine that Mother directly crawls on the battlefield?“Don’t you get hurt …… Why is mother ……”Dida laughed out laughing for the first time in my life.Lyle and Tanya are laughing sideways.I had no idea why I could laugh at this timing.“Hime, the strength of my wife’s sword is amazing. It is much stronger than us.”“.……?”“Sorry, yes. And the commanding ability of soldiers is also great.”I was wondering what kind of joke Dida said.However, thinking stops for a moment for the word that Lyle continues to say.“You’ve taken a long time ago. You already told Iris, right? I was aiming to be a soldier, so if you have been training with a soldier at your father’s place, you have a little experience in the battlefield. There is only one.Mother’s words said laughing while laughing were rather close to Todome for me.What kind of situation is it to just make a face on the battlefield?When questions came to me one after another, my mind was confused without thinking.However, while looking at the smile of my mother, I felt that those things that I had in mind seem to be good, and I start to calm down.“.…… Left? Mothers and Mrs. Anderson, thank you very much for helping me protect the Almeria Duke’s lords.”“Iris. I don’t want to thank you, because I’m also a member of the Almeria Dukes. …… But yes. I’ll tell the words to everyone in the Anderson family.”“Thank you for your consideration”After lowering my head to my mother again, I direct my gaze to Lyle and Dida.“Thanks to both of us and to all who came to the eastern part as guards. Thank you very much for coming back safely, really …… it was really good.”I also knew by news that they had won and that they were safe.However, if you look at it with this eye, you can still feel it and the eye gets wet.“I was really glad that you were there …… I can not thank you for supporting me on my side.”Though the feeling I want to convey overflows from the depths of my heart, it doesn’t become a word.I feel even frustrating that I can not communicate well.“It’s a shameless word.”Lyle told me that with a soft smile.“The word of the princess is a reward for us more than anything else.”Dida’s light-hearted, I laugh too involuntarily.“Thank you. …… I have heard that there is a story, but I heard the report”Then I will report the number of enemy prisoners of war, the number of allies who got injured, and so on.While listening to them, they were listening to their reports while thinking about the facilities and supplies that they received in advance by Hayama and prepared.“.…… Then, young lady. I caught the top of the enemy in this case as a captive.”“The top is the first prince of the Acacia Kingdom”In my mother’s words, a shock runs in my heart.“Hmm …… …… First Prince is at the forefront?”The idea of ​​.…… is honestly big.It is a form that doubts mother’s words, but the common sense that has been cultivated up to now did not immediately affirm it.Why is it that the first prince who is the royal family is mixed with the advance party who blames the other country?However, suddenly, an idea came into my mouth.“Oh …… maybe”“.…… Did you notice something?”Mother responded to my brow.“A little bit, I have come up with something”“Tell me, Iris. It’s better to share and share your thoughts on this matter.”“Yes …… Mr. Kaadir, who offered me a marriage, is the third prince. And now, as in the Acacia Kingdom, as in our country a little while ago, he seems to be fighting for the throne under the water, so he is just that I’m in the middle of it. ““You often check the secrets of the Acacia Kingdom, so what is that?”“The second prince relinquishes the right to take over the throne because of his weak body. …… So, if there is something in the first prince, he will be the first place to take over the right to take over the throne.”“My lady. In other words, how did Kadil work on this matter?”At Tanya’s question, I shook my head.“I don’t know so much. The truth is that it is the current king who cuddled with the Twilight country, or Kaadir, but I’m clear about this. Or I’m going to get the king’s seat right away. ““In the story of the first prince, it seems that the current king has conspired with the Twile country.”Soon, my mother said so.“I see. On the contrary, if the person took over the throne, there may be room for discussion.”“.…… But, Lady. It may be said that he offered to marry, and he wanted to be here for a long time, so if it were, he would have won the seat of the next king. There is also the possibility of taking the army and attacking again …… ““Aside from the current king, I think I do not need it if I was in the position of Kaadir.”“.…… why?”“Whether the Kingdom of Tasmeria wins, or the Kingdom of Twice, will win …… It is difficult to maintain the rule when Almeria Duchess is acquired. It will be surrounded by the enemy or other countries around the world. There is some kind of secrecy with them, but considering the geographical factors, it will eventually be broken …… …… The Acacia Kingdom is located at a distance from the sea? It’s too expensive to send in resources and people, so it’s a bit of a gain, but I think it would be better to be a good business partner in another country …… ”“I see. Aside from whether he thinks so, I think Iris’s idea is a fair story. Unfortunately, the current king has followed the story of the Twill country, but the man’s idea of ​​Kaadir is I do not know the contrary, but if a man who is trying to get the throne carefully in this way, there should be room for negotiations if he could show his advantage. ““Yes, mother.”For now, I and my guards who came with me from the Anderson family will stay here for a while. I will not heal their injuries, and I will see them a little bit. Please give me a call and give me “I immediately hear the mother’s suggestion.Honest mothers and their presence are very encouraging.“.…… Tanya. Arrange for interrogation of the first prince”“I’m getting lost”
