208 The circumstances of King Sarovara

- In a room (Argent point of view)

A room where King Sarovara invited me to settle down. There was a little, strange air there.

Well, I can see why everyone in Sarovara has trouble with words.

So they thought Mizuki was just an alien, right? Yet her response earlier. If you look at that, even if you don't like it, you'll realize we recognized ourselves incorrectly.

Unexpectedly, an inner laugh ensues. That must be the same for the Irfenas who accompany them.

Why did Mizuki think he was incompetent to be named "The Black Cat of His Highness the Demon King" and so on?

The reason for this can also be guessed with dismay. I guess that involves Elle's perception of bias.

Differences between countries belonging to the North and those belonging to the South, perceptions of 'otherworldly people' and 'those called heretics'. In the first place, it's different from there.

The South, with some prejudice, has a stronger perception of the 'powerful' than that.

In contrast, the perception of 'heresy' is rooted in the north.

Elle's nickname "Demon King" is also interpreted in the south as a "powerful man" - even if there has been a little overspending - but the north interprets it as a "threat" in various ways.

First of all, it's prejudicial, north. That's why Mizuki's response must have been amazing, too.

Because in the south, you will be judged 'If you are under the protection of His Highness the Demon King, you cannot be incompetent'.

That's because what Elle has built up so far, and how he is, is a prerequisite. Otherwise, you can't be convinced to be the guardian of the Wizard.

Elle won't be aware of it, but from the edge, he's Mizuki's 'guardian' and 'parent cat' in many ways. So much for judging...... because everyone is watching and acknowledging His Highness Elshon.

Those who have dealt with at least two people - in the sense that they know the nature of Mizuki - are very convinced of that nickname.

"No matter how ferocious the demon conductor may be, don't worry while under His Highness Elshon's protection"

Many countries have made those decisions. It will also be his attitude that Mizuki is not so dangerous while he is a Magic Instructor that he is "uninterested unless he certifies his enemies," but the personality of the guardian is recognized.

The term 'His Highness the Demon King', which Mizki names. That's the kind of proof that 'while it is under His Highness Elshon, it can never be a threat to the world'.

As if to show it off, it produces a result that is beneficial to those in this world. Mizuki's words and actions sometimes make us panic, but it is also true that we take the situation in the direction we wanted more than that.

That is why we believe in Mizuki, a loyal servant and friend of Elle's. Because Mizuki can't possibly happen, like what Elle or Irfena have to take responsibility for.

It is the countries belonging to the south that have such perceptions. But the North has only been perceived as simply a 'threat' to Elle. I think that led to 'unexpected' in an earlier case.

If you put it under protection, you'll only have a minimum education.

Interworlds are ignorant of all things, and it's easier to manage just to make them nostalgic.

This is usually the kind of response that is more common. I don't think you're wrong about that, but the subject will be in what we call a 'breeding' state.

That doesn't mean I'm treating you as a person. You should be in a good mood.

So Elle is... "His Highness the Demon King" is. We also assumed that we would leave our own hands and let Mizuki gain strength herself.

Everything is' to treat Mizuki as a person '. What do you say that's not kindness?

'When I deal with His Highness the Demon King through Mizki, it seems like someone else' because the kindness of Elle is evident from whomever he sees it. Including how everyone is stunned by Mizuki's words and actions, but never abandons them.

Many now take it for granted that Mizuki, the Magic Master, will miss El so much. And being careful what you say and do so as not to embarrass Elle is part of it.

Hiraki, and turning his gaze to King Sarovara... the king seemed tired for a long time. Even though we wanted to visit ourselves, I still think there is a difference between the second princess and Mizki earlier.

"... apparently we've been watching Irfena sweetly for a long time"

Saying so and sighing deeply, King Sarovara raised his face. The look on the face of Marquis Leckbari staring at it is as serene as usual.

You can't shake your emotions at this level or anything. Whether it is in a disadvantaged situation or not, we cannot afford it and we cannot afford to be in a favourable situation. That's the basics.

I had decided beforehand not to say a word unless I was asked for my opinion. Of course, it is the Marquis of Leckbari in "In charge in front of the building" who deals with the king.

This is because I am one of the parties and I have the role of discerning King Sarovara's intentions… I personally don't think we need to exchange words. Because I would have already conveyed enough of my intentions in an earlier incident.

"Oh, wow, was Mizuki's words so surprising? I don't think he said it was that hard."

"Of course." For us. "

Yes. Returning it to the Marquis of Leckbari, King Sarovara turned his exploratory eyes to the Marquis.

"But things are different in different worlds. No matter how many nobles and royalties are around, there are things to understand and get used to. That girl... spoke as' natural '. I'm not taught to respond this time only, but I don't know if it's natural."

Marquis Leckbari deepens his grin at the king's word. The king understood Mizuki correctly.

"Your Highness will take good care of Mizuki for real... well, you will be the standard. You'll need more than a magician."

"I'm not going to pawn you," he said?

"Do they say that our country needs to rely on others? Let's not lose sight of incompetence, such as a country that can't be built without the help of outsiders. Our country is called the kingdom of the mighty... and we have no shame in our hearts."

"... I'm sorry, that's not what I meant"

"No, I'm sorry about Noon. Looks like it's getting hot."

Though calm, Marquis Leckbari's words were full of thorns.

"A country that cannot be built without the help of outsiders". Because that was the Sarovara of this time.

And even though there is no malice, the King's words today are humiliating if they come from Irfena, which is called 'the kingdom of the powerful'. Mizuki is still 'just protected' and not taken in by the state.

Mizki's actions are only moving on her own, and she was not ordered by Elle except for what is supposed to be an education. It's not a handkerchief.

Marquis Leckbari must have been kachin on the inside, the way the king said it. It would also mean making a mistake right, but there was a fever caged in which the words were a little tight.

Because he felt it, King Sarovara immediately uttered an apology. No such intention, to indicate.

Seems like a bit of a detour, even though it's because of the wrong perception of Elle. Well, that's why... you're inviting this to happen.

"Is it time to get down to business? Didn't you set up this visit?

"Uhm. To make Lillian give up Lord Argent..."

The words of King Sarovara, who almost said so, will stop. It must have felt Marquis Leckbari's gaze.

"O king. Nona, you don't want to go on with the farce any longer?" You don't need Mizuki if you just want him to give up ". Did you... try to use Mizuki to make Lillian recognise you as a" bad second princess "?

"May I ask why that seems so?

The King's gaze is much sharper when he asks back. But the Marquis Leckbari still had an emotionally unreadable look on his face.

The attitude of the king may also be natural if you pick up only the words of the Marquis Leckbari, but the words of the Marquis are not just insults. Either that or it looks like an attitude because they saw through what they were hiding.

"Master Lillian is definitely inferior to your sister in terms of qualities. But that's not the only thing that doesn't make a difference in education. From what I've just heard, you've been very honest with me."

"... why did you say you did such an imitation?

Marquis Leckbari continues his words without cowering to the King, who inquires with a harsh look on his face.

"It is the two princesses who will be the trace of this country. But the influence of those who become their companions and their clans cannot be ridiculed. Most importantly... if the two princesses' 'have no problem trying to either get to the throne', then there will be a power dispute?

……

"It would be a problem in every country, this. I'd still be convinced if one were a prince, but we both naturally want to be better at being princesses. You don't cut one person off, you don't even leave him able to aim for the throne. Anyone would now think," It would be best for the First Princess to take the throne. "

- Isn't it love as a parent?

The content is very heavy, even though the tone of the Marquis Leckbari, who tells that, is mild. And it's a problem that can happen to any country.

Indeed, the order of succession is laid down. But it's also true that things happen that don't work that way.

It's really a boy priority, but if it's the two princesses... it's also possible that the power struggle between the nobles will begin with them at the forefront.

If you lose a power struggle, it is naturally the 'been' princess at its head who takes responsibility. Even if they didn't want to argue, they wouldn't escape responsibility for not being able to give them away.

- The sin of making the country noisy, and also in the sense of turning down future worries, is lifelong seclusion, and worst of all, self-harm.

I suppose Marquis Leckbari wants to say that he planted the recognition that 'only the first princess deserves the next king' as a measure to rule out those possibilities.

King Sarovara had his gaze on the Marquis of Leckbari for a moment, but eventually when he sighed, he dropped his shoulder.

"... Exactly. I only have two princesses. But I didn't want you to do anything to make me fight with my sisters."

"... is it because of the Queen and the side room?

"Ah, oh. Even though they were close, they struggled about each other's clan. They both died a few years after giving birth to their daughters, but they told me about my daughters until the end."

The king reacted for a moment to the words of the Marquis of Leckbari. You reminded me that my country is called the Land of the Powerful, and I have lost my shoulder.

And I nod one thing. Marquis Leckbari's guess was correct, he admitted to himself.

This is also something that has been rumored to be various since that time. Even if the queen was followed by the death of the side chamber, King Sarovara did not intend to welcome her new queen.

"After the two of them died, my voice was loud telling me to get a new wife. But what will my daughters be treated like if that happens? It would be a good, politically married pawn in a power dispute, and in the worst case, could be killed. for a newborn child, so that his kinsmen may not waver in power."

The next queen of kings - I will be the queen because it is unclear whether the queen was wanted or the side room - will naturally be chosen from outside the two deceased clans.

That's also important in the sense of not concentrating power in one house, but if that happens, in addition to the previous queen and the clan of siderooms, the new clan of queens is also likely to contend with them.

I interpret it as a wife, even in the side chamber, so it's not entirely unaffected. I don't think he had any ambition for those who wanted a new queen for the king.

If that happens, the position of the two princesses will be very subtle. Because it is not certain that the new Queen will give birth to a boy.

I can also say that there is no dispute over the throne because the perception that the First Princess will take the throne is now unshakeable.

That was the way to defend King Sarovara. That's the only way I could take it.

... King Sarovara's confession also means' I wasn't sure to contain the power struggle '. He wanted to get an understanding of Ilfena more than just let me hear it, and that's what he wanted.

The look on King Sarovara's face gripping his fist hard had something bitter on his face... and he seemed to remember that time.

Now with the grown princesses, I was young at the time. I guess the king didn't have time to grieve about his wife's death, a position that even the country must defend, not just the children.

And... the king took one way.

May the First Princess, daughter of the Queen and excellent from the beginning, be better.

The second princess, the daughter of the side chamber, was raised so that there was an obvious difference between her sister and her princess.

The way the princesses are will have been made intentionally by the king. But there was definitely a father's affection there to guide my child.

The least is educated with a second princess who can be said to have been sacrificed, so it would be cheap to let a trustworthy man descend. It will depend on your education because you seem to be honest in character as well.

Of course, there is also the aim of not letting the nobles have an extra quarrel. It raises a fever over power strife. Because not much politics has been neglected, and it is as much in the past as it has been in a country that perished at its end.

"I also caused Lord Argento a lot of trouble. I grew up like that intentionally. What do I say, but I want you to apologize. I'm sorry."

King Sarovara turns to me and bows his head and apologizes. There is one action I take against him like that.

"Never mind."

I'm used to it, so I won't say. There are quite a few ladies who come to this face and family, and most importantly, I use those people.

... Oh, the Marquis Leckbari, who knows what's behind it, is turning a raw warm eye. Please don't say anything on this occasion, Marquis.

"I should also apologize to the Master of Magic. I can't tell you everything."

King Sarovara, unaware of our attitude, whines with an imaginary face. I think the King is very sincere in his attitude that he will apologize to Mizuki as well... though.

"... I think Mizuki has already guessed to some extent, don't you?

"Yeah, I guess so. Lillian would have felt the honesty of Mizuki."

When Marquis Leckbari speaks in a way that he doesn't think with a distant eye, I agree with him.

King Sarovara sees us with a strange look, but he was certain of this.

"Really? Hmm, is it the fruit of His Highness Elshon's education..."

I'm sorry for the king whining like a solitaire, but this isn't just caused by Elle's education. But it's also true that I can't talk about it, so I dared not deny it and smile vaguely.

Mizki has hitherto bumped into many nobles and royalties because of Elle's education and personal circumstances. And the majority of them were aristocratic ladies.

Let me get this straight.

The women who became Mizuki's 'enemies' are of such a character as to act (or interpret) themselves, and have no honesty that frightens them to the extent that they have been hit with truthful arguments, as Lillian did.

I'm not just being very honest with my emotions, but my instincts… No, I was more likely to act as I intended.

It must also have something to do with Mizuki's identity and position, but it's basically a direction that looks down on Mizuki. We, the Guardians, will be one of the causes.

A battle between those and Mizuki. There can't be any more trials done with something raw and warm called verbal reward.

Yelling at each other, exploring the belly is basic.

As opposed to words, there are many things we can do with each other.

And some are clearly in the realm of crime, not to the extent of flat handed.

Mizuki said there are many 'carnivorous' ladies. Besides, Mizuki will never retreat, even if women, rather powerful men, would be their opponents.

Above all, Mizuki herself has the idea that "ten times return is basic," so there is no way that it can be improved or improved to scold me for overspending.

Well, it's Mizuki who's been kicking those people and beating them up by the time they're skinless. It is therefore also known as the 'otherworldly ferocious species'.

Is it something that Mizuki, accustomed to such a situation, does not come to the circumstance of a 'power dispute entangled in the throne'? Thank you. We can't just think that Mizuki noticed and didn't say anything.

For the record, Mizuki's ferocity is a very favorable one for me, so it's perfectly fine. Ningro Ideal.

Sometimes it's trivial that Elle holds his head and watching him smile with everyone.

"Mizki has also been a little involved in inheritance issues...... Kivela to Barraksin, and Alberda. There are surprisingly many countries that have been rubbed internally, and Mizuki understands these circumstances."

"Oh, does Baraksin mean His Royal Brother Wang from the Church sect? Kibera's one thing ahead, Alberda's a civil unrest."

"Yep. This is all happening around us, you'll think about it on your own and you'll get to the truth."

To the words of the Marquis Leckbari, King Sarovara nodded with a convincing look. I think it went on to say 'That's not a lie either' to the nodding Marquis Leckbari, but it would be more peaceful if it stayed put.

"Well, I let you take the time. Apart from apologizing to the Magic Master, she would also be bored by herself"

I do not feel worried about the look on King Sarovara's face urging us to say so. Not at all, but I think I was relieved by what you told us and what we showed understanding.

Following those words, we left the room behind. Feel comfortable with the circumstances surrounding this visit and just a little disappointment in your chest.

- It's personal.

King Sarovara doesn't seem to be the 'mastermind' of this one. If he's the 'mastermind', I think he'll look more ruthless as the ruler of the country.

Sometimes that may not be how we make it look on this occasion only. Because the princesses' education did not begin now.

Will you act foolishly, like you're breaking it up now? You said it was an education to protect our daughters?

Naturally taken for granted. Instead of Ilfena if you make a mistake in this kidnapping, the affected country turns to the enemy at once.

It is also possible that your country will bear the unending ordeal of your own generation. That's not what you don't know.

I was wondering if you would do an imitation that would make my daughters bear the hardships they wanted to protect that much. That's what I think.

"Oh, boy, we need to discuss this with Mizuki and decide the future."

The Marquis of Leckbari seemed to share the same opinion, and the words sounded a little unfortunate.

... apparently we're still ahead of us to get to the 'mastermind'.

- Meanwhile, around that time, Mizuki, the exorcist of the other world's ferocious species,

"So... la... huh? Do you want me to explain it carefully, in detail, in detail?

"Sorry..................... sorry!

"Ugh! Trouble, mister. ♪... Anyone can reflect. If all you have to do is apologize, you don't need a punishment, do you?

"Please! Please, give me a chance to explain!

"All right, wash up and throw up. If you don't hide it, you might have a little favor if you're dealing with criminals."

"No, you know, I have trouble expecting evil exposure..."

The magician who was supposed to have headed to the room first was apologizing to the knight attached to his own escort for some reason - somehow "somewhere".

Besides, the knight is perfectly seated and grounded. Apparently Mizuki taught it as "The Right Way to Apologize for the Other World".

It doesn't matter what you think, such as doing it. There must be something wrong with them, or 'circumstances that I had to do'.

Apparently, things had progressed in an unexpected direction.
