OMG, I loled so hard xD
The first conference of the three countries advanced in a way of mostly ignoring Vichy.
As Hifumi was basically only listening and as Iraria and Suprangel talked about the main points, it was a situation, where Roshi only shyly voiced his opinion at the few tis Iraria brought up a subject and took him into consideration.
As result it reached a stage of Orsongrande and Horant tying a direct treaty of comrce once Horant paid a little amount of reparations. This also included the matter of building a military information exchange through Hifumi.
In regards to Vichy, Horant will continue the sa degree of exchange as until now, but as a matter of fact the monopolistic circulation of magic tools would disappear. As soon as you pay the reparations, you can request cooperation towards peace from Orsongrande, Iraria stated as verbal ssage to the central committee.
What does that cooperation towards peace concretely contain ? (Roshi)
Although he spoke passionately that he would finalize the negotiations with Orsongrande by himself at first, Roshi, who completely dropped his shoulders at the final stages of the conference, timidly spoke his words to verify the ambiguous verbal ssage.
Showing her best smile, Iraria returns in flat speech to Roshi,
Concerning the war this ti, our country considers the central committee to be fully responsible. And even concerning the situation of unnecessarily increasing the victims in Vichy itself and as result of that falling into a state close to collapse, we believe Vichy itself being the cause by provoking a person it shouldnt have touched. (Iraria)
Speaking up to here, she turns a fleeting glance towards Hifumi. The person, who shouldnt be touched, showed an indifferent attitude as he yawned while being aware that he is being watched.
Iraria took a small breath.
Regarding the split, forr Vichy region, including the central committee, I demand formal reparations, but above that I want them to co up with a plan by themselves. They shouldnt try to use or my country in order to recover from their own mistakes. I call such behaviour simply disagreeable. (Iraria)
Lets have talks once again after they ca to a conclusion about what they should do before involving in their own countrys problems, Iraria clearly said.
Suprangel turned a gentle look at here I feel such girl is quite likeable.
It is as the new Majesty the Queen says. The cleaning up of ones own country is sothing to be concluded by ones own country. If you rely on soone, it will naturally require an equal reward. (Suprangel)
Even though Roshi, who ended up losing his position completely, began the conference to work out the details of a treaty, he was gently expelled from the location of the conference.
There wasnt anyone, who noticed Hifumis gaze following Roshi as he faced towards the door in a hurry, giving a polite phrase for parting from the room, with a completely, dispirited look. Neither the matter of his mouth forming a smile.
Roshi, heading towards the rest room where his attendants are waiting, wasnt even accompanied by a single person guiding him. He cant take the statent as favourable, if he believes in it, at all. Roshi interpreted it as proof of being looked down on by Orsongrande itself and in reality his treatnt had just such aning.
Walking trudgingly without saying a word, Roshi was called by soone.
Excuse , arent you the envoy from Vichy?
Haa, just as you say. You are? (Roshi)
Roshi asked for the mans na exposing his vigilance towards the middle-aged man, who suddenly appeared and started a conversation.
Im a Viscount of Orsongrande called Leonhart. You seem to be alone, what has happened to the guide from our country? (Leonhart)
Roshi only frowned without answering Leonharts question.
Certainly you dont want to tell that they havent assigned a guide to you, who ca here as representative of your country, right? This is our countrys, no, the princess mistake! How to say it, although shes still young, I want to apologise for the impoliteness on behalf of the princess. Lets go, I will accompany you instead. (Leonhart)
Receiving an apology that isnt filled with a feeling of being an exaggerated gesture, Roshi doubted whether he is being made fun of.
No, I will return myself. Thank you very much for your concerns. (Roshi)
No, not at all, theres no need to hold back. As you look unwell for so reason, is there sothing wrong with your health as well? (Leonhart)
Although Roshi almost clicked his tongue unintentionally, he withstood with an effort.
I have been treated awfully by Her Highness the Princess at the conference just now. I felt depressed, if I consider that I have to report after returning to my own country. (Roshi)
Though I didnt intend to be sarcastic, my words ended up having a feeling of being slightly malicious, but that doesnt really matter, does it? Roshi beca defiant.
My goodness then, if you are able to build a connection with nobles from Orsongrande, wont it be possible for you to preserve your face a little bit, Envoy-dono? (Leonhart)
What are you trying to say? (Roshi)
There arent few nobles, who have been raising their eyebrows due to to egoistic behaviour of the princess. If you dont mind, lets have a talk at a different place. (Leonhart)
How suspicious, Roshi thought. Although he is certainly wearing finely tailored clothes befitting a noble, once I look at my conversation partner again, that middle-aged man gives off a feeling as if having so kind of misunderstanding with his faint smile and his sowhat dull appearance.
However, once I consider it in reverse, if he has approached with the intention to use , he might be useful in so way, he switches over his thinking. Even if I return to my country as is, I will have to take the bla for the breakdown in negotiations with Orsongrande and its obvious that I will be transferred to a remote place.
Well, then lets go to the room used by us. I want you to also extend your greetings to my attendants without fail. (Roshi)
Indeed, if you consider the matters from now on, its indispensable to et them. Then, lets go. (Leonhart)
Roshi evaluated the nobles smile as suspicious, but he didnt notice that he was also showing the sa face himself.
Viscount Leonhart has co into contact with Vichys envoy. They went towards the room, where the attendants are waiting on standby. I believe it to be likely that they will carry out so kind of negotiations.
Knight Captain Lotomago, who received the report in his office, only nodded without showing any particular reaction.
Seeing that, the knight continues his report.
In the report from Royal Knight Order Vice-Captain Vaiya there was a ntion about the possibility of Envoy Roshi to be killed by his attendants. It was ntioned that the Royal Knight Order is observing the progress attentively, but this wont result in the overlooking of a cri within the castle, right? Although they dont belong to the main faction, there is a possibility of our countrys nobles being dragged into it. Dispatching the knight order here
Balzephon. (T/N: >> Baruzefon
No, I was just slightly worried. Leaving that aside, werent you monitoring the lot from Vichy? (Lotomago)
We are alternating at a certain interval of ti. There are no humans who possess the ability to concentrate for countless hours. If you are staying still in a dark and narrow place, you will end up feeling depressed. (Vaiya)
Vaiya laughed and thankfully received the black tea offered by a maid. The maid, to whom he smiled, smled with a slightly red face and lightly returned to a corner of the room.
And, that ans that sothing happened for Vichys envoy to make a move. (Vaiya)
Indeed. Viscount Leonhart contacted Roshi, who was expelled from the conference. It looks like they entered Vichys rest room, you monitored until just now, together. (Lotomago)
They made a move, huh? It was faster than I thought. (Vaiya)
What? So you knew about it? (Lotomago)
Vaiya apologised with a Im sorry to Lotomago, who exhaled his breath with a bored look.
We have grasped it until the point that the remnants of the prince faction, such as Viscount Leonhart, are scheming to create a link with Vichy. Although I say that, as outco of the conference today, they wont achieve anything, even if they were able to make a connection with Vichy. (Vaiya)
Vaiya was drinking the black tea with an atmosphere of composure, but Lotomago, rembering the eyes of Balzephon just now, felt so unpleasant sense of discomfort.
Since we dont know when an uproar might happen, we will continue to observe, thanking for the tea, Vaiya left Lotomagos office.
Brooding over it by himself for a short while, Lotomago slowly stood up, after sorting the docunts in front of him, and left towards sowhere.
If you look down from the balcony of the castle, there is a plaza in front of the castle, which has been usually used by tourists and local residents as place of relaxation and refreshnt to so degree. That plaza has been locked out for the general public and several soldiers are checking whether there are any suspicious people while moving in a quick march.
Those, who sotis try to pass through, like rchants coming to deliver goods to the castle, received a more strict inspection than usual at a place further away from the castle as usual. But all of them are obediently accepting the inspections with a It cant be helped written on their faces.
If you look towards the city from that plaza, you will see a lot more food stalls than usual having set up at spots not belonging to the plaza. It appeared as if the population density of the city had risen.
Hifumi, who sat cross-legged on the railing of the balcony, is watching expressionlessly the activity of those people.
Although he is watching them, he isnt conscious of them.
He is in the middle of his daily ditation, but his thoughts are recalling the n and won he had killed so far. Slowly reflecting upon their final monts, he expresses his gratitude to them within his mind.
He had a premonition that he will once again kill so people within the castle at the coronation ceremony tomorrow or before that. Naturally a smile appears on his face.
Oh well, first I shall enjoy the things happening from now. Its fine for you to stick to Sabnak. It might give you an interesting experience. (Hifumi)
Understood. Greet once you co back to Fokalore, ok? Its unpleasant to be left behind. (Alyssa)
Alyssa quickly jumped off the railing and dashed away in the twinkling of an eye.
Well, I think I should sleep a bit before its too late. (Hifumi)
Retrieving a sweetened bun from his darkness storage, Hifumi silently vanished inside the castle while chewing with a sound of munching.
