The first book in the Kimihika series.
On Cedric Route he tells Tiara about his tragic past a year ago.
A year ago, they were forced to surrender or ravage the suddenly emerged Kingdom of Copelandi.
If you surrender, you will become a colony of the Radiya Empire, but the name and culture of the country will remain.
If you resist, you will assault every country, and as a province of Radiya, you will have no previous culture or country name.
However, if we descend under the umbrella of the Radical Empire in either option, the kingdom of Chinensis must be forced to offer its own people to Radiya as a slave-producing country.
The king was troubled and made one or two decisions.
Having heard that decision, Cedric flies out of the country and begs the great powers and the famous Kingdom of Friesia to save the United Kingdom of Hanazoo.... to Queen Pride.
And he gets embedded in his pride, and even the important people he tries to protect as a result make him unhappy because of his actions.
From the bitterness and regret of that time he rises himself and grows into a fine prince who strives for his country.... with the determination not to believe in people again and the indelible heartbreak.
And at the start of the game a year later. Once again, he is bewitched by his pride.
"... I understand the story.
My mother, who had finished listening to Cedric, returned the words in a tight manner. Only that voice causes the space to pulse quietly.
Cedric looks up at her mother with a distorted face that she misses every move she makes. We also waited breathlessly for your mother's decision.
"But as for this one, I still can't confirm whether the facts are true or not. I'd like some more time.
"Sohn..."
Cedric stuffs words in her mother's words.... but naturally. My mind might have been different if I had been the first to say it, but I can't believe it cheaply if I've been told since suspicion first arose.
Flames disappear from Cedric's eyes losing words. I desperately felt like I was going to take a sigh of sigh in response to my mother's rejection of everything.
What are we gonna do about giving up here?
"... Mother. I made a prediction.
Quietly reduce your voice tone and advance to your mother. Mothers turn their eyes round to my words and look back.
"My prediction is that the kingdom of Chinensis was under invasion by another country.... Perhaps what His Royal Highness Prince Cedric II says is true.
I really have a lot of other things to say but I really don't know if they will. But even this time, too many things are not as I remember them in my previous life.... that's all I can say right now.
Of course, from my mothers, it's actually possible that I had a deal from the Kingdom of Copelandi with "Friesian kingdom instead because I'm going to miss you..." and I generally can't be relieved of this alone.
But in this country, a word of "prediction" has great power.
Mother thought further into my words and roared small at the volume only we could hear around her.
"... then you have to change that future.
Cedric's eyes lit up at a word that could also be taken as a mother's affirmation. That's, no way...! and leaked his voice, and his eyes directed toward his mother lit again.
... Yes. My country would have been willing to accept the conditions from Cedric even if they told me from the beginning. Speaking of the original, this is the one who offered the alliance.
Instead, you said you wanted an alliance, but the United Hanazoo Kingdom is going to be invaded by another country, so the alliance is fine after all. How could we lose faith from the allies we have built up so far? I was wondering if we could truncate ourselves if we were exposed to the threat of aggression from another country.
It's not just cooperation or peace. If the other country is exposed to a crisis of aggression, it will become an ally. Because that's one of the great advantages of forming an alliance. That is why countries that have become allies can gain strong ties.
... So I wish I had spoken properly like I did earlier from the start. That way, I'm sure the conversation went without a problem. Because the opponent is not an evil outrageous self pride, but a perfect mother to me as a queen.
"As for the alliance, the investigation will also proceed again from our country. And as soon as the truth turns out, let's move on to signing an alliance.... His Majesty the King will also find it difficult to move out of the country in that situation.
Cedric nods loudly to her mother's words.
Now that the United Kingdom of Hanazoo is in a state of tension, it is difficult for the King to go to another country. Then Cedric shall sign it as the king's deputy, or Mother shall go to the Kingdom of Sursis to sign it. If only Cedric had signed it as the king's deputy as it should have been...
"We know that you are certainly not acting on behalf of the original, and that I went to the Kingdom of Sursis to sign an alliance.
Ask Cedric as her mother confirms with her eyes to Chancellor Gilbert and Regent Vest. He also replied to it and apologized at the end, "I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to represent the King this time".... Rather, it is natural because instead of permission from the King's deputy, he has flown out of the country in silence.
"... Again, you will have time to verify the authenticity. Can you give me three days? As soon as authenticity is taken about the Kingdom of Sursis and the Kingdom of Chinensis, form an alliance and do what you can.
The terms of the alliance must have been what Zilbel negotiated the other day, her mother calmly confirmed, and Cedric glanced and replied, "Of course."
Originally, my mother said first time with that intention, but this man...
Thank you, Cedric shouting deeply to her mother again, … bowed his head to us. Just before that, for a moment I felt like I was in contact with you. Did you still hesitate a little to bow your head to me?
... but good. I dare not. Now, as long as Uncle Vest confirms the facts, the Kingdom of Friesia and the Kingdom of Sursis can enter into an alliance. That would also prevent the United Kingdom of Hanazoo from becoming a slave-producing country.
Radiya Empire.
It's a name that's been flirting in the game.
In the first, he has also been a collaborator of Queen Pride since the second half of the spindle of the story.... but when it comes to positions, it's a position for little bosses and mobs, if I say so, compared to styles and Arthur, Cedric and Leon who stand in front of Tiara and the target of the offense as medium bosses. Besides, standing up as a little boss doesn't give the offender any teeth at all, and as soon as he struggles, he winds his tail and flees, or he gets stabbed in the stomach, and the Radiya Empire itself withdraws lightly if pride is repudiated. It involves the spindle of the story, but I'm hardly impressed with it as a turn.
Because the threat in the game was only the "kingdom of Friesia" dominated by Queen Russ Boss Pride.
Besides, if the entire Radian Empire, a slave power, is going to attack us, then maybe the three kingdoms, including the Copelandi kingdom, which is not even that, can be fattened enough by the Freesian kingdom alone.
Although the Radian Empire has gained strength by increasing its scale with aggression and slave production, some verses seem to have wanted peace with the Kingdom of Friesia in recent years. Although the situation is quite difficult because the people who were the people of our country on top of slavery supremacy also remain sold in the Radian Empire.
Domestic slavery is the freedom of that country. Even with regard to a people kidnapped or sold in another country, if they are enslaved in a country of slavery, they become free in that country. … even if the people were the people of the country where slavery was abolished.
Chancellor Zilbert has created laws and mechanisms for our people, who have been sold to another country, to take them back to our country as a protected object, and as soon as that is done, we are going to return them to our people, who have been turned into merchandise.
If the Radiyan Empire also wants peace with our country, it will surely hesitate to reach out to the United Kingdom of Hanazoo, which has made an alliance with our country.
Because invading the United Kingdom of Hanazoo would be virtually like declaring war on the Kingdom of Friesia.
"As soon as we sign the alliance, let's get reinforcements out. I would also like the Radiian Empire to have peace with the United Kingdom of Hanazoo, as well as talks.
As her mother threw her gaze, she nodded as Uncle Vest had agreed. However, the Radiya Empire will also take days from our country. As such, the talks themselves will take time. Cedric lowered his head with his hands on the floor again, "Enough is enough..." to the mother who speaks.... At that moment, a few drops of water dripped onto the floor.
I guess the fact that my mother spoke so much of the prospect meant that she trusted Cedric's words.
I'm sure he'll move for a proper alliance in three days.
Unexpectedly, I breathe. As it was, Cedric was allowed by his mother to leave the room, and he walked out the door with his head down heavily. Her eyes were red and swollen, except for her eyes, which she saw for a moment over her golden hair.
"Thank you for your hard work, Pride.
My mother, who looked back small and turned her gaze to me, turned from a majestic grin to a gentle one. No, and look at the door Cedric left while returning it.
... It was really good to start over.
In the game's retrospective scene, he had just popped into our country about the same dialogue and immediately appealed to Queen Pride.
Even more tragedy begins there because the opponent was the abominable outrageous queen Pride, but Cedric's appeal also arrived properly because she was the opponent of her mother, not Pride.
... but.
Well, remember what Cedric said earlier, I think.
You had more time than I thought.
Three days of deliberation and a relaxing one-way ten days in the royal carriage will suffice to make it to the reinforcements of the kingdom of Chinensis two or three days ago.... I would have felt that Cedric was at the critical level of having to move more now at the time of his appeal to Queen Pride in the game.
After all, it's just a game I played once, and I wonder if I remembered. I feel like we're still talking about something earlier.
At this time, I didn't realize that the game setup had gone wild some time ago.
