623 516. The Prince of Trade wants.

"The Radiya Empire, huh? What's wrong with that?

Kingdom of Anemone.

As usual, Val returned the words troublesome as he rolled onto the floor of my room. On the left and right of it, Sefek and Chemetho sat on the floor in the same way, tilting their necks towards me. I was summoned by my father, the king, to return the word to them as I rolled through the report I received from the messenger.

"It's not exactly my home state, it's its subordinate state. Messengers from all over the place reported it. Apparently, there's an army headed this way.

And it seems to be on a considerable scale. Continuing, I recall a report from an apostle I heard with my father.

Although not as great as the kingdom of Friesia, which is a great power, there are messengers everywhere in our country as well. And this morning, many messengers were coming in with the same report.

Invasion of the Radiya Imperial Army.

"Are you saying you're coming in to attack Anemone?

"Though it can't be either....... I wonder if there is much potential for the Kingdom of Friesia in directions as well.

Friesia, Val's shoulder shook pickly at the word. Sharp eyes catch more and mouth as you care.

My kingdom of Anemone sandwiched between the kingdom of Friesia and the sea. Being close to our country from land is synonymous with being close to the Kingdom of Friesia.

However, the Radiyan Empire made peace with the Kingdom of Friesia a year ago. It is also a country that does not trade with many of our countries. And yet I can't believe you're sending an armed legion.

That's crazy...... and I squeal unintentionally with my fingers against my jaw. Dealers in a peaceful country, neither of which is a reason for the Radical Empire to attack. Then suddenly a low groan leaked from Val fed up.

"... the princess has already been evacuated. Besides, you're no match for the Freesian Knights of Bakemon anyway.

This morning, I flaunt myself with his words as I gather the contents of the letter I received from Prince Stayle.

Well, from his point of view, it's to that extent that the country is bitter with each other. The messenger of my country knows that the messenger of the Kingdom of Friesia knows. The knight who delivered Prince Stayle's letter this morning also apparently left early after delivering it to our castle, and it is still believed that Friesia is already working on countermeasures. Val is right, the Knights of the Kingdom of Friesia would beat the Radiya Empire as well. But......

"... but there will be damage. If it really was an invasion, it would certainly be to the people, and even the Knights could have seriously injured dead. Because they're big countries, too.

"I'm not interested.

Keh, he threw up and rolled his back at me as if to confuse him.

He's been in charge of my escort for once since I was supposed to be protecting him at my castle, but I'm often quite free when my father calls me in like a paperwork or earlier. If it's true, you can come around under the castle, but in case Pride visits our country and bowls it up. What a "land of Temehe is too peaceful" before this, as a royalty, I was told to throw away my best compliments.

The Kingdom of Friesia is also supposed to be quite peaceful in recent years, but it may be boring given his previous work. Chemetho and Cefek spent more time reading books indoors as well, but Val doesn't read at all. Talk to us or sleep. Some people simply aren't interested, but... maybe that's not all.

"... Pride will also grieve if the people die.

His shoulders shake again.

Shortly after shaking bigger than just now, my sharp eyes turned to me. Pride, Sefek and Chemetho also turn to Val for the name. I heard tongue pounding a few times and looked back at me as I fell asleep and twisted my body. He was even more vicious when he was originally disfigured.

"The Lord went tochi crazy.... What are you talking about?

Clearly, he threw his anger at me at the end.

If it's a sold fight, I just wake up and sit back trying to be unfit for me, not saying I'm gonna buy it. I laugh at him again knowing I dared touch his scales.

Judging from the reports from the messengers, it does not look like mere greetings or negotiations. Moreover, when it came to the Radian Empire, he was also in a guest invited at Tiara's birthday. In other words, he is also one of the suspects who attacked Pride.

A year ago, the invasion of the United Kingdom of Hanazoo was held back by the Kingdom of Friesia, which is also undermining the expansion of the national territory. Above all, it is famous that the Radian Empire wants to draw the Kingdom of Friesia into the slave industry.

"Father has decided. I have now sent a messenger to the Kingdom of Friesia as well. It would be difficult in case it was just a visit or another reason. But if the Radian Empire showed the Freesian kingdom its intention to invade,"

Basan, and close the bundle of reports.

Keep staring straight back into his eyes at me and his sharpened eyes opened to Russia.

"My kingdom of Anemone will also cover the kingdom of Friesia.

Coverage, that is, participation in the war.

If the hand of aggression is reaching out to the Allied kingdom of Friesia, the kingdom of Anemone cannot remain silent either. We in the kingdom of Anemone will go to the Kingdom of Friesia as reinforcements once the possibility of aggression from the Radian Empire or the invasion is confirmed.

My father, who made that decision as king, gave me permission to lead the Knights myself. The truth was that I wanted to go and check directly myself, but it was after Prince Steele put me down to say "I can't accept anything but the messenger". … to be honest, the disturbance of the Kingdom of Friesia must not already be felt in those words in the letter. Because the second princess, Tiara, was evacuated out of the country, which means that her superiors decided.

That's why my country rushed to run messengers, too. As soon as a response was received from the Kingdom of Friesia, he also ordered that the battle be prepared so that reinforcements could be sent to the Kingdom of Friesia as soon as he had permission from Friesia.

Talk that far, stare back at Val again and he was distorting his face uncomfortably. I also know that the very topic of Freesia and Pride is forbidden to him.... Still, I still thought I had to check this out with him. Chemetho opened his mouth first as Sefek wrinkled between his eyebrows as it seemed difficult.

"Does that mean you're going to help the Lord...? Does Leon's going to mean Val's going with him on the escort, too?

If Val's going, I'm going, too, and he grabbed Val's hem anxiously.

Sefek said accordingly, "Me too!" Only Val remained uncomfortable as he raised his voice. I understand what he's trying to say and what he can't say on this occasion. That's why I chose words to answer Chemetho's question.

"At least I'll go, as long as I get approval from the Kingdom of Friesia. But you better stay away.... a country of pride. You don't know what's going to happen.

Chemetho and Sefek's body jumped lightly on my words. [M]

They still look like they admire their pride, but the leopard freaks at the time are still burning. "I'm not interested," said Val, tongue-in-cheek at how the two were doing.

"The royal family will protect the Knights of Bakemon even if they die anyway. Thousands of people will die laughing if the tochi mad lord now.

"But past pride will cry, won't it?

A roar like a beast returns.

He shook his body harshly and his tongue pounding rang again and again. Chemetho and Sefek compare us to the frustrating figure he sees in a long time.

Indeed, Val has a point. The damage would be greater if it were an all-out war with the Radiya Empire, but the royal family would be safe. So much so that the Knights of the Kingdom of Friesia are so powerful.

Besides, even if I don't stop, Val can't be near the kingdom of Friesia or Pride on Prince Steele's orders. Although you have been ordered to stay as far away from me as possible, the priority is to escape from Friesia and Pride.

"... not going to the kingdom of Friesia. Is that your real answer?

"I'm not going, I'm not even interested.... Row (...) Ke (...) Yeah (...) (...).... You know Temee well too.

I don't feel that the last word is what he meant.

He can't move by order. And for the safety of Chemetho and Sefek, we can't be near pride.

…… ... If there was a way out... are you still going to stand for Chemetho and Sefek?

He lowered his hips to the spot as closely as possible with his gaze on him, and if he lay on one knee and asked Val, he opened his eyes strongly.

Stuck in words so I didn't know what they meant, my mouth remained slightly open. If I kept peeking straight into his eyes, Val's mouth would give me back a word saying, "What do you mean?" I thought I'd be grabbed even by the neck and threatened to talk, but that didn't happen either.... I mean, that's all a big problem for him.

I meditated and opened my eyes to distract from him once. Still, his gaze, which was sharp, remains the same.

When I rose again from the spot, I turned my eyes to Sefek and Chemetho. Sefek tilted his neck and Chemetho looked up at me with his eyes as round as Val did. When Val and I first visited as guests, they didn't even look at me, and now they often look straight at me and talk to me.... I also know exactly how he would like to protect them both. I'm sure if you tell him about it here, he'll be terribly bothered.

Again, I reconsidered that I shouldn't have said it, and I shook my head clearly.

"... no, even if it's a story. You (...) have (...) a life (...) a right (...) to (...) have (...) a life (...) because I (...) can't help it.

I'm sorry, and I'll put a one-word apology report on my desk.

Then he remembers that he hasn't had breakfast yet, and when he heads to the dining room, he calls out. Then he stood up looking troublesome, although he still didn't seem convinced. He's undertaking my escort,... essentially "they" are dating most of my destinations. I've invited him to dinner with me, but that was clearly turned down. I protected them, and the evening stand, which was a few pleasures a month while they were my escorts, was also refused. For a long time, I tried to provide a palace room for my guests after they started staying with me, but I ended up renting a room for my employees because I was "restless". It's supposed to be small for the three of us to sleep in, and I let them have three, but they all end up staying in one room together.

I walk towards the dining room and I think alone as I follow them behind my back.

I can't tell Val that there's a way out of Prince Steele's order.

Not impossible. If only I had "commanded" him to be of the same royalty as Prince Style. Certainly Pride gave him permission at the time to disrespect, to lie, to hide things, and even to nullify all the power of command as royalty exclusively to me.... only "permission." That is, he can also "obey" himself.

If you're worried about being commanded by Pride, you also have the option of putting Chemetho and Sefek in our country and one of him going to the kingdom of Friesia. That way, if Pride commands you, you can't kill them easily as long as you have the distance.... just

If Pride orders me to, at the end of the day, he'll never see the two of us again.

Not to kill you both.

Whatever form it takes, he won't show up before the two of us. Whether you live or die.

And perhaps he doesn't want it. It's not simply that I don't like being cut off from the two of you. He may be my buyout, but I'm sure he won't be able to let go of the two who are still children.

If at any rate the conclusion is reached, it is one thing to present this to him once and for all. Because on top of that, if he chooses not to go to the kingdom of Friesia, there is no problem.

But if he wants to move for his past pride at the bottom of his heart just like I do. If you can't throw out the wish that one day your pride will return even if only slightly in the corner of your heart.... If I were him, I would definitely go. Even if, as a result, you will never see the two of them again, even if your death awaits you.

That's all his special abilities are. Even if not to say war conditions, survival increases exceptionally. Still, I knew it.

"... I can't tell you...

Words spilled in my mouth by accident. Luckily they didn't sound like they were behind it, but hurry and hold your mouth by hand.

... I also want to avoid the consequences of their disconnection.

If Val accidentally encounters his present pride in the war, and is ordained, there is nothing more anyone can do about it.

In today's pride, the worst case scenario might be to let Val hurt even the people of Friesia with half the fun without even worrying about being at a disadvantage to his own country. At that time, if there's anything we can do to him, it's just to "stop" or "kill" him.

We "royalty" are bracketed. There is no place for a man with stronger authority over him than the "lord" of the covenant.

... It was around sundown that the messenger who sent him to the Kingdom of Friesia reported that he had been denied a cover visit in the name of Prince Steele.
