Chapter 339: 339

“Am I…?

Anne can’t hide her confusion. Of course. When I finally thought I could go home, they told me to stay. I’ll barely move my expression, too, so I’ll do my best.

But no imperial man can overturn the emperor’s immediate orders. That’s even the Empress. In other words, His Majesty the Emperor himself came out on purpose, which seems to be the purpose.

I suppose you wouldn’t have mind writing to that effect in a letter or something if they were a little less identical, but does that mean you’re not feeling well with the Crown Princess? Or did you simply want to tell your daughter directly?

The emperor said in a stern voice.

“Mm-hmm. Because it’s also included in the terms of this harmony.”

The point is that Anne remains hostage to the kingdom. Anne seemed to be satisfied with that. I don’t know how deep down in my heart it is.

“May I?”

I opened my mouth to help out. The Emperor blocked it with his hand, though he sat back a little bit to see if the details were trying to tempt me.

“Good. Say”

“All the same, then. And was it therefore agreed as a condition? I don’t know why you have to leave Master Annemarie in the kingdom.”

“Hmm.”

The Emperor’s eyes narrow softly in my words. These places look like Anne and her parents and kids…… Anne is leaning over and doesn’t really understand the look on her face.“To put it succinctly, here’s a series of stories that happened. I can’t tell you in public, but that’s how I recognize the rest. On top of that, it has nothing to do with this plan, even if you (the Kingdom) want to betray it. Because the status quo remains the same. At best, it would be recognition of the extent to which skirmishes have occurred.”

The emperor separated words there once. I put a little time aside to see if there was any objection and to see if I understood. Seeing as no one would say anything, the emperor went on.

“But if this one betrays you, you will lose the land where the migrants are. No matter, sometimes it will turn out that way even if you don’t betray it aggressively. Because that’s what happens if any of them survive. But I want to avoid that.”

“I see. Okay.”

I also feel a little too tall as a hostage for that, but I’m pretty sure there’s no one else to give it to if it’s very confidential. If someone wants me to get you out of my subordinate, there’s no way I’m not going to tell you what’s going on.

“So long, Eizo.”

If I say no here, it’s obvious that Anne will be turned around to touch the swelling. I know it was close to the enemy but I think it’s sweet myself, but by now my answer had been decided.

“Okay. We’ll take care of it.”

“Right. I can provide some assistance, so if you have any problems, let me know.”

“No, if we’re going to protect you, we’re going to do it alone without (…) Chi (…), et al. (…), et al. (…).”

I kept the Marquis’ offer solidified. I want to avoid stringing it up in the name of aid. If you’re going to string Anne up for the Empire, I’ll cut her off somewhere, too.

Niyali, while I managed to shed sight of the laughing emperor, I was so determined in my heart.
