519 Episode 501 Mischievous

”Huh... you can hold on to it, can't you?”

It was quite a height.

Sieg and I landed with Finn, pulled down the ropes and helped Lars land.

Lars climbed a rope in a place that would not normally be climbable first.

I wonder how hard their training is all the time.

Your Highness, how does this work?

Finn asks me a question.

We broke up and landed because we had to meet the prince anyway.

It gave the impression that the Empire could be relied upon as much as possible.

"I'm going to the castle, but the question is how to get in touch with it."The prince is under pressure from the kingdom's messengers.If we leave them alone for a long time, they will say they will join the kingdom.But if the Empire doesn't rely on us, the results will be the same.The trouble is that the prince, who is in the most precarious position, is trying to determine the situation. "

I'm not reluctant to join the kingdom just by being grateful to the Empire.

As it stands, which one will it be for the benefit of the Principality?

I'm trying not to make a mistake, so I haven't made a decision yet.

In retrospect, the King immediately lowered his head during the Sea Dragon incident.The judgement was accurate.

It is impossible for a king to bow his head against a prince of a great power.

That was the only way to keep the Empire in a good mood.

Therefore, it is difficult.

Even if your position is threatened, you are still looking at the situation because you are hungry.

I'm sure if I make a decision, I won't change my mind even if I lose my position.

In other words, we must show the prince that the Empire is superior to the Kingdom.

"Let's gather some information." Too little information. "

Yes.

Okay, got it.

That's why we started walking towards the castle city.

■■■

A harbor town once boarded with a white flag.That is the capital of the Duchy.

Me and Lars were in the inn there.

Finn is out of the city.We couldn't have brought Nova.

Stand out from the crowd.

Well, so am I in terms of being prominent.

How was it?

"Yes, it seems that in two days there will be a festival to celebrate the birthday of the Duke, the King's brother."

"Is that the Duke of Pastore?"

"Yes, it seems so. Did you know that?"

"This is the man who was contending with the current king until the end of the throne."You're at the forefront of the princely kingdom, aren't you? "

“Why would you bother to celebrate such a man's birthday in the capital?”

"I don't think it was the prince's intention."Were you pushed away by the ministers around you, or was it for another reason?In the meantime, there's no doubt that the envoys of the kingdom have moved behind the scenes. "

Is that why you brought the Duke to the city?

Or is the duke an excuse and a festival?

There is no doubt that there is some intention.

What else did you find out?

"I don't know anything more about the state of the capital."However, perhaps the eagle lion is in the castle. "

"You brought me a precious Eagle Lion Knight." You're quite a big guy, aren't you? "

Even though it was a kingdom, there weren't enough eagle lion knights to overflow.

It is unusual to bring someone to visit another country.

That was a procedure that could not have been done without Leticia Class.

I guess it's an escort... but I might be able to use it.

What do you mean you can use it?

"It's the perfect opponent to show off the might of the Empire."Fortunately, there's an invincible knight in the sky over here. "

The Eagle Lion Knight is a symbol of the Kingdom.

It would be a common recognition within the Principality.

Therefore, the action concerns the impression on the kingdom.

Nevertheless, if we attack suddenly, we will not be able to avoid reprimand.

"I need a little more information."During the festival, things change depending on what role the eagle lion plays. "

Depending on your role, do you raid?

"I would never do such a reckless thing."

Many people gather at the festival.And it happened in the sky.

If it gets noisy, many people will witness it.

The Imperial Guard Knight Captain will not raid the kingdom's messenger escort.

That's why we don't raid.

You don't have to raid it, it could be a fight.

You're going to fight, aren't you?

"I don't know if it's going to be a battle."If possible, I don't want that to happen.The prince will feel more at ease.If the Empire's proud white dragon knight could prove that the kingdom's proud eagle lion knight could be treated as a child, it would be more than that. "

"Captain Finn is in trouble, too."But Captain Finn is special within the Empire.After all, I'm the Commander of the Kingsguard. "

"It's okay." As long as you remind me that the Empire had a Kingsguard Captain.The strength of the Kingsguard Commander was the strength of the Empire.I don't care if you think it's a bad idea to be in the Kingdom. "

The Imperial Guard Knights rarely spawned with all their might.

Even if the Emperor left, everyone would not follow him.

It is impossible except in a real emergency.

So, no matter how strong the Guardian Knights' captains are, it's not for all the kingdoms.

That is proven by history.

The Empire has a power.There is no doubt that it will be the strongest if it is demonstrated.The Kingsguard Knights and the House of Dauntless were at the bottom of it all.

But it didn't work. You don't have to play it to win, and you need a good cause to play it.

"In war, there will be clashes between armies.The Kingsguard Knights were just special.It's a well-known fact, but it doesn't matter much to the prince, who is struggling with pressure from the kingdom. "

The prince is looking for one thing.

If the Kingdom and Empire go to war, which will win? That's what it is.

Then you can do it side by side with the factors that are likely to win.

I'm sure the Kingdom is doing the same.

Well then, if everything goes as His Highness intended... when will His Highness meet with the Prince?

Isn't it a good time to join Finn?

Yes?

"Depending on what role the Eagle Lion Knight played... maybe it was an empty guard or something."Whatever it is, it should be up in the sky.That's where Finn came in with me.Misunderstood as an enemy attack, he treated the intercepting eagle lion knight as a child and landed.I'll see the king. "

It's the perfect plan.

What do I think? Lars murmured after a slightly troubled look.

"That's bold..."

"I see. The problem is... most of the operation depends on Finn's ability."Whether or not you can treat the eagle lion knights as children by taking me on board. "

"Looks like it's difficult... a lot of things."

"Well, you can do something about it."I'm the Captain of the Kingsguard. "

Isn't it too chaotic?

It's okay. It's the Kingsguard's job to do something about the royal demands.

"I've never heard of it."

It's common sense in the royal family.

That's why I look out the window.

It doesn't have much of a floating atmosphere.It doesn't seem like the festival is exhilarating.

Excellent. The more so, the more likely the Eagle Lion Knights are to go up in the sky.I'm sure you'd like to get a little excited.
