The reconstruction is going well.
The food problem was solved by the rchants of the east and when they noticed the business opportunity in the warhorses, they started to establish trade routes for it.
The towns for the displaced people are also taking shape with the cooperation of the Dwarves.
Macar, the King of the Dwarves, had a eting with the influential nobles of the north with Char at the lead and began talking about making a dwarven settlent here.
To support that, I wrote a letter to my father about it.
However, I was only told that he would send a personal ssenger to relay his reply.
No other details were given to .
I wonder who will co.
Since it is His Majestys ssenger then maybe it is the Pri Minister?
Sending the busy Pri Minister here is unrealistic since he has to deal with matters with the Dominion right now. It should be the other princes right?
Char argues against Elnas answer.
Since it appears to be the case, Elna looks a little dejected.
She cant beat Char in a battle of words after all.
Well, whoever it is, that person would be soone that has high enough honor to be the Emperors personal ssenger. Try not to offend him.
I dont want to be told that by you, Al.
I dont think Al wants to hear that from a certain soone here as well though.
What did you say?
Do you have a complaint?
I am more proper than Al you know! And didnt I just save the north from the storm earlier!? Be more grateful to !
That was Als plan right!? Besides, I still rember how you got scared of the river you know!?
I wasnt scared! I told you that I was just bad around it right!?
They started arguing again.
Char doesnt seem to be able to cooperate with Elna.
Elna on the other hand is the type that respects people who respect herself but she wont yield to the people who do not.
Thats why these two are incompatible.
Well, they dont really hate each other so it is fine I guess.
Im asking you here, dont argue in front of the ssenger okay? My reputation will worsen.
Tell that to Charlotte!
Tell that to Elna!
They are in sync.
Now they are frowning at each other.
Seriously, are they getting along or not, which is it.
Sebas, how long until the ssenger arrives?
Hmm. They should be here soon, sir.
Then I guess I should head out and receive them huh.
While I was thinking so I put the tea to my mouth.
At that mont, I heard a voice from behind .
Welcoming is alright but I am already here you know.
!?
I involuntarily spit out the tea.
After all, that familiar voice ca directly from behind .
Sebas, arent your skills growing dull? I easily managed to get behind him you know.
Ridiculing an elderly is not a good manner, sir. If soone such as you erase their presence and get behind , of course, I wouldnt notice.
When Sebas is around, I usually do not put up barriers around .
After all, getting behind without Sebas noticing is almost impossible.
However, there are always exceptions.
And one of those few exceptions ca here as a ssenger.
I hurriedly got up from my chair and turned around.
There, I was t with a sight where a man with cherry-colored hair climbed into the room through the window.
His eyes are jade color.
Brave!? Why are you here!?
Otou-sama!?
Standing there was a slender middle-aged man.
His appearance makes it look like he is still in his thirties.
Neat face and tight body. However, he wears a friendly and gentle expression.
That is certainly the current Brave, Theobald von Amsberg.
I will apologize for appearing in such an ill-mannered way. I was just curious about how you all are doing.
Can you please dont do that, it is bad for my heart.
HaHaHa! You are not so soft as to get scared with this much right? You led the army of the northern nobles straight to the enemys rear, didnt you? Your enemies probably had it worse you know.
Im used to being the one doing the surprise not the one being surprised.
Thats no good. Life shines brighter with a little surprise after all.
Saying so, the Brave smiles and turns to Char.
Char who didnt expect the Brave himself to co is still solidified.
Marchioness Charlotte von Zweig I presud? I am Theobald von Amsberg, the Brave. Its an honor to et the new Thunder God.
The Brave swiftly extended his right hand to Char.
After wondering what to do for a while, Char quietly takes the Braves hand.
Ma, Marchioness Charlotte von Zweig..i, its an honor for as well. Brave Amsberg.
Dont be so nervous. Even if you call the Brave, I am not here to start anything. I am only taking a walk through the Empire after all.
Right.
Even if he called it taking a walk, this person is going around the Empire destroying every anti-Empire organization he found.
The more rural the area, the less the Emperors eyes can reach.
Thats why the Brave goes out in his stead and crushes such organizations.
It was originally the duty of the Imperial Knights before but because of the importance placed on the protection of the Emperor right now, the Brave has taken on that role.
Now, you might have already guessed but I have a ssage from His Majesty. You want to do the serious talk now? Al.
No, please give so ti
I seethen.
His gaze shifted toward Elna who had been avoiding him until now.
Receiving his gaze, Elnas back tensely straightens.
This is that huh.
The sermon.
Elnado you know what I want to say?
..I, Is it about how I didnt notice Otou-sama.?
So you understand. If I was an assassin then Als neck would be lying on the floor already you know?
M, My apology.
If an apology is sufficient then there wouldnt be a need for Imperial Knights in the first place. Given the situation of the Empire, the importance of each mber of the Imperial Family is increasing. Not to ntion that Al is currently the Warden of the North. One of the princes the Emperor relies on the most. That is the reason you are here. Do you misunderstand that you were dispatched here because you are on good terms with him?
You should be a little calr. This is the reason why no one hasnt voice support for you for the position of Knight Commander yet.
YesI will devote myself to be better.
Seeing Elna being depressed in front of her father, I sighed.
These two are the sa as usual.
Elna can not go against the Brave.
Brave. Elna is performing her duty well.
You always spoil her. Thats why she always lets her guard down when she is with you ever since shes a child.
The sa goes for as well. Elna is already helping a lot by acting as my escort.
Good griefDo try not to be spoiled by Al too much.
Yes..I will be careful.
Seeing the depressed Elna, the Brave exhales.
From the point of view of the Brave, it seems that Elna still has a long way to go.
Well, hes her father so hes supposed to look stern in front of her.
Alright, I will go say hello to Her Highness Lizelotte. We can do the serious talk after that, is that alright with you?
Yes. thank you very much.
Marchioness Zweig. My apology but may I trouble you to guide the way?
Y, Yes! This way please!
With that said, the Brave left the room with Char.
Hearing their footsteps moving away, I and Elna exhaled at the sa ti.
Haaaaa.to think that the ssenger is the Brave himself
My lifespan just shortened.
In front of that person, the two of you are children after all.
I sigh at Sebass words.
Why do the people who wont move as I plan all gathered here?
I sll so kind of harassnt from this.
But at the sa ti, I dont think that my father would make a aningless move.
It was a choice that accomplished his revenge and benefited the grand scale of things huh.
Maybe the serious talk the Brave was talking about is not just about the Dwarves.
