Chapter 99

(Everyone) 「「「「「「…………」」」」」」

We returned to the conference room after the demonstration, but everyone from Dalisson Kingdom’s side kept being silent until now .

The Earl is also silently waiting without rushing to proceed the talk . Perhaps, they need to slowly comprehend regarding the matter some time ago and collect their thoughts .

And after a while, Her Highness Princess Remia opened her mouth .

(Remia) 「……we don’t even have a choice to begin with, yes?」

Her Highness Princess quickly said so as she seems to have seen far into the future .

(Retainer) 「Her Highness, what are you-!?」

One of her retainer raised his voice in an attempt to refute, but Her Highness Princess silenced him with her hand .

(Remia) 「It’s fine, I’m not a fool, and perhaps neither is everyone who is present here . 」

That being said, he can no longer argue again . Yes, because everyone already fully understood .

(Audyst) 「Her Highness, our kingdom is not trying to push or force anything to you . This is just merely an agreement to prepare for a mutual enemy and join together to gain new power . You are free to reject this and take your own path, and that is why we are not going to do anything to your kingdom .

Moreover, this visit is not to decide about something, but instead it is nothing more than a prior meeting to inform the current state and get some plans among everyone in advance to unify our intentions for the treaty conference later . You need not to worry too much…」

Yes, it’s not as if this is an unworthy talk for Dalisson Kingdom . Nevertheless, this is an invitation to get on a winning horse . However, this was a problem . Because in reality, there are no options left for them and their pride has been hurt due to the fact that it’s an invitation from an overwhelmingly strong kingdom… .

Originally, this kingdom has a friendly relationship with ours, hence I thought that it won’t be a necessary to worry that much, but this might not be such a simple story .

Oh, speaking of which! I forgot! We have a mission to 『help in strengthening the princess’ position』, right?

I have no right to decide the context of the agreement, so I leave it to the Earl to set up the relation . All I can promise freely is only everything about myself .

(Mitsuha) 「Her Highness, if you’re worried, why don’t we make a promise together?」

(Remia) 「Eh? A pro… . . mise?」

I smiled and explained to Her Highness Princess who has a suspicious look .

(Mitsuha) 「Yes, if Her Highness is in trouble and justice is on Her Highness side, this me, will promise to assist Her Highness along with my friends… . Of course, this talk has nothing to do with the kingdom, as it’s not a promise from Viscount Yamano, but instead a personal promise from a mere Mitsuha・Yamano…」

(Remia) 「Eh……?」

(Mitsuha) 「Even if it’s an aggression from another kingdom, a demon king’s army, those who will try to bring rebellion, or those who will try to impose a marriage that against Her Highness’ will, everything will be done with a snap……」

(TL Note: We got a Thanos here . )

(Remia) 「Eeeeeeeeeeeeh……?」

Her Highness Princess Remia was stunned .

Well that’s to be expected as it’s not normal to have promises between an aristocrat and a princess from another kingdom . In addition, the king who is also the princess, as well as the ministers probably knew that I’m not just an aristocrat girl, but also a foreign kingdom’s royalty who had suddenly appeared .

Or maybe, about the divine soldiers, who appeared during the battle, were not the kingdom’s soldiers, but instead they were my private volunteer soldiers… .

There’s bound to be a detailed investigation for that kind of major occurence in the neighboring kingdoms, and they might have stocked some information in the royal palace with their own methods, such as spies, bribery, honey traps, etc .

To begin with, even if they visit the royal capital normally, it would have been obvious that the corps was not a part of any kingdom’s soldiers as those guys were wearing uniform and equipment but they didn’t speak this world’s language .

Thus, 『Viscount Yamano』, who can personally defeat the imperial army’s main force and ancient dragons, will help Her Highness Princess Remia 『personally』 . Anyone will know the meaning of this if someone share this accurate information .

And they will also fully understand about the second half of what I just said, which is 「…, those who will try to bring rebellion, or those who will try to impose a marriage that against Her Highness’ will, everything will be done with a snap . 」 .

In contrast to Her Highness Princess 『Stunned』, some of the attendants were 『Astonished』 .

…Well, this might be a little inconvenient for those who are planning to do something bad .

(Audyst) 「Viscount Yamano? Why did you make such a promise on your own…?」

The Earl showed a troubled look .

(Audyst) 「Well then, as for the delegations, does anyone have any problem with this… . ?

I see, it can’t be helped then . Very well, as the official representative of our kingdom, we would like to express our respect to Her Highness Princess Remia as the official royal agent for Dalisson Kingdom, which is our neighboring and friendly kingdom . While Her Highness Princess maintains friendship with our kingdom, let us consider taking priority measures to deploy the developed equipment to Dalisson Kingdom .

……that is, as long as the representative of this kingdom is Her Highness Princess Remia, and that her own free will is keeping the friendship with our kingdom…」

Uwaah! That’s dirty

It’s a dead end warning to everyone who is backing up the young prince and trying to oust Her Highness Princess Remia so that they can control the kingdom .

Well, if His Majesty Prince has grown up and becomes a splendid man, Princess Remia could also relinquish her throne and give him the throne as an official successor . At that time, it will be fine to make new agreements again .

In conclusion, 「Before that happens, if you decide to force him to succeed and try to manipulate him, you’ll know what’s going to happen, you bastard」 .

With this, there won’t be any reason for everyone to seriously think about approving those kind of people .

In the first place, if I, Viscount Yamano recognize that there’s a 『rebellion』, a 『coercion』 or even an 『emergency from the princess』, then that 『divine soldiers』 might appear suddenly in this royal palace .

And it won’t be a domestic affairs interference from another kingdom, but instead 『The Princess Shrine Maiden who is God’s apostle has appeared as an ally of justice in order to protect a legitimate royal agent』 and the enemy will be judged 『Evil』 immediately . Hence, there won’t be any measures for such enemy to take the political power safely .

Perhaps, this kingdom’s top brass have acquired some information about me as there are witnesses who had seen the appearance and return of that so-called 『divine soldiers』 .

And, even if I didn’t use force methods on behalf of Her Highness Princess, excluding the priority deployment of the new equipment, there’s still a possibility that this kingdom might still be considered as a politically unstable kingdom and be looked as a puppet government instead of a proper ally .

If there’s someone who is going to make a fuss about this, they will be doubted and literally called as an 『unpatriotic individual』 which will also be a traitor to their kingdom and might have connections with other kingdoms .

With this, Her Highness Princess’s position might be safe for the time being . At least until the prince has grown up, can judge by his own will, and recognized as having a virtuous personality .

When I took a glimpse at the Earl’s appearance, he had a good smile on his face .

Yup, it’s safe, it’s a Mission Complete .

(Sabine) 「Remia-sama, would you like to be friends with me?」

Ooh, Sabine-chan! I thought you will continue being air completely, but instead you want to have your turn, huh? That was a sudden attack!

As she’s also a Highness Princess, she didn’t call her with the title 『Her Highness Princess Remia』, and only used 『-sama』 to show the hierarchical relationship between two people who receive the same title instead .

Though, it’s probably fine if she wants to be friends with her .

Her Highness Princess Remia was looking blankly because of my and the Earl’s great proposals, but immediately guessed our intentions and had a somewhat grateful face . However, she instantly gave a broad smile when it comes to Sabine-chan’s abrupt offer .

There’s no one in the neighboring kingdoms’ royalty who doesn’t know how much Sabine-chan is loved by the king and queen, the princes and the princesses . That’s how effective her 『request』 is .

(Remia) 「With pleasure! Let’s get along well, okay?

……But, how about Sabine-chan be my little sister instead?」

Her Highness Princess Remia, who has a younger brother but no younger sister, said so .

However, Sabine-chan shook her head .

(Sabine) 「I already have a lot of big sisters . What I’m lacking is a friend!」

Her Highness Princess Remia gave a wry smile after hearing that .

Yup, as someone who doesn’t have a sister, she wants her to be a replacement for it, right……

But for Sabine-chan, who already has two big sisters and me, who is regarded as her big sister too, she wants a friend rather than a big sister nor little sister . As expected .

At present, her friends are the ones who’s like Colette-chan, and her status is also very much different from Colette-chan, right……

If it’s like this, I will have to put a communication device in Her Highness Princess Remia’s bedroom too, huh… . .

I also have promised to rush to her if she’s in a pinch as well… . .

Well, that’s how the talk ended .

As it’s not necessary to conclude the treaty and exchange documents, we continued with idle talks, or rather, we answered questions and small requests from Her Highness Princess Remia, the ministers and everyone else who’s present . We were careful not to have any unnecessary promises . Especially the Earl, who completely blocked everything when it comes to me .

No, it was okay to tell a little bit as I might have a cooperation with them, though… Such as my type of guy or about my hobby, that is collecting gold coins .

And, it’s the night of our welcoming party .

We only had a few hours of rest as the nobles, royalties, top-brass soldiers, and big merchants were flocking for information, establishing useful contacts, connections, and some kind of cultural exchanges .

Invitation for a dance? I can dance if it’s Oklahoma Mixer, though? Is there something wrong with that?

(TL Note: The dance . )

Aah~ so that’s why Earl Bozes nagged at me, 『Learn the ballroom dance!』… .

It’s alright, my specialty is behind the scenes .

But well, I can’t go behind the scenes today, so let’s be a wallflower…… . and turns out I can see a long queue right in front of me .

Yup, their dance invitations were declined and instead, they wanted to talk to me who was free because I don’t dance, huh? So that’s how it is, huh…?

And Sabine-chan, is dancing with a cute and smart young boy .

…she can dance… . and likes cute younger boys, I see… .

Ah! Is he a replacement for your younger brother, Ruhen-kun? Are you still not interested in boys? Is that how it is?

And there’s Colette-chan who is looking envious .

No, Colette-chan! You are on the side who can’t dance, okay!? Don’t leave me alone, okay!?!

Thus, the party which I thought would end overnight continued for three days straight . After that, we continued to have a meal until we are full .

And finally, the RV, 『Big Lorry』 departed from Mathrica, the royal capital of the first visited kingdom, Dalisson Kingdom, carrying the exhausted me, Colette-chan who has a bloated stomach and somehow brimming with vigor, Sabine-chan .

No, we got on the delegation’s carriages until we left the royal capital, and then I transferred 『Big Lorry』 from home .

Huh? It’s called 『Big Lorry』 because there’s a loli who acts big riding it, you said?

S-shut up!

(TL Note: Big Lorry in Japanese is Biggu Roorii, so this is a wordplay for Loli (rori) )
