Episode 41.10
Solusgia and Heles had been listening to Pentaros and Norma's conversation in silence, but then Solusgia spoke as if he was following up Pentaros's words.
"Lady Heles. Forgive us for speaking badly of your uncle. But to be frank with you, us n of the sea just cannot agree with that type."
"Solusgia-dono. You need not apologize. Even I was getting angry as I listened to Norma just now."
"Hahaha. Your character is like that of a female pirate. Right, if I'm not mistaken, pri minister-dono was against you becoming a knight of the royal princess."
"Yes, that's true. Uncle visited urging to get married, then when he found out I wouldn't give up on my dream to beco a knight, he told he'd support my aspiration if I could conquer a fitting dungeon. Despite of that, he sched around behind my back to make sure that no strong adventurers in the capital's Adventurer Association would take my quest."
"Yeah that. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that you conquered Dungeon Ninae. I've also heard about how the proof, Queen Spider's head and legs have been put at the entrance to the inner palace as a way to intimidate those with wicked thoughts."
Afterward, everyone listened to Heles narrating her story of exploring the dungeon. Heles did ntion how she t three powerful adventurers who joined her to conquer the dungeon, but she wouldn't specify their nas.
(Wonder why won't she say Lecan's and Eda's nas.)
(And that Arios man too.)
(No, wait. I see.)
It's probably because she loathes to talk about their nas so lightly. That's how much Heles treasures her experience at Ninae.
"Well damn. Oy, Solus. Doesn't this remind you of ."
"I had the sa thought, Taros. Never saw a landlubber woman like this."
must refer to the wife of the which had his heydays long before the founding of Zaka Kingdom. Daros fell for Nicola and kept proposing to her, but Nicola would always reject him every ti. But then Daros's persistence finally bore fruit, and he miraculously managed to marry Nicola. Afterward, Daros would go on to reign supre over vast seas and coasts to the point of becoming known as but he was an extrely capricious man who fooled around with won everywhere, in the end he was beheaded by an angry Nicola.
This must be what Gido and Smarc consider the best kind of woman. Incidentally, both Marquis of Gido and Marquis of Smarc asserted that they were descendants of Daros and Nicola. Fujisur told Norma that knowing this story is the traditional way to understand the characters of Gido and Smarc.
The two are looking longingly at Heles.
"I wonder if was a dignified lady like her."
"She must be. Gotta watch out for our heads else they ca off."
Pentaros and Solusgia happily laughed together.
These two have a weird sense of humor.
Heles probably ca dressed in full armor to make a point that she's not your usual lady, to make them think they shouldn't make her their wife. But that plan backfired on her instead.
You'd normally think those who would fall for such a graceful lady like princess Lorecia can't possible harbor any interest in soone who attends a marriage interview in armor. Yet these n sohow see vestiges of on that painting of her.
(Hold on.)
(Who said that princess Lorecia was a graceful lady.)
(I ca to that conclusion just from seeing her portrait.)
(I rely imagined that's how she was from the na .)
(What proof do I have to say that what these n believe is the false one here?)
"Oh yeah, lady Norma."
"Yes?"
"Did that raccoon PM try to worm his way into planting his subordinates for today with you?"
"Yeah. He did make an attempt."
"What? What did that old coot say to you?"
"Just as we were done talking and heading for the door, he called us and said this. 'Ah, also, since the dinner tomorrow will be held at a garden owned by the royal family, so PM Office personnel will be present incognito, I hope you understand. Naturally, we have sent ssengers to Marquis of Gido and Marquis of Smarc about this matter.'"
"That damn old goat. And? How did you reply."
"I spoke thus to the house aide of Wazrof. 'Send ssengers to the two marquises and tell them that the pri minister has offered the presence of PM Office's personnel during the dinner, ask them if we should approve this. Ah and also, ask them if Pri Minister-Dono had sent them a ssenger and what that ssenger said. I shall wait here.'"
"What? I see. Well, damn. Hahahahaha. And how did that old raccoon respond?"
"He said, 'No need for those ssengers. It's my bad. I take back what I said.'"
