So you kidnapped him.

That's not kidnapping. He's a Farsi, he's an elf, he's a long-eared.　Highborn, most likely. If he dies in my country... There'd be a war.

After looking at Scheherazade ...... specifically at her chest, Carolina glared at Hercule.

Hercule responded by cowering.

In fact, ......

There are nobles who are not elves, and there are commoners who are elves.

It's the same in both the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Fars.

However, Hercule determined that Scheherazade was a nobleman based on her ”education in Lemurian” and the ”upper-class Farse language” spoken by Scheherazade.

In particular, the decisive factor is the beautiful Farsi spoken by Scheherazade.

As in Lemurian and English in the previous world, the language spoken by the lower class is slightly different from that spoken by the upper class, even though they speak the same language.

Class can be judged by the language spoken.

Anyway, the first thing to do now is to call the Foreign Minister. Anyway, the first thing to do now is to call the Foreign Minister. ...... Now, before we do that, let's ask him some questions. Please answer honestly, Mr. Scheherazade.

Hercule smiles at Scheherazade.

Scheherazade asked Hercule with a nervous look on her face.

”May I ask you a question about ......?

”Good.

So, you're the ...... Emperor?

Yes.

When Hercule nodded with a smile, Scheherazade bent her knees and put her hands on the floor.

”I beg your pardon!　Oh, it was never my intention to criticize you, .......

”No, that's okay. I wasn't the emperor at the time, I was just Hercule.

Hercule fluttered his hands to show that he did not care.

It was Hercule's fault for not revealing his identity in the first place.

But I'm the emperor now. ...... I will not tolerate lies. You're a nobleman of the Kingdom of Foulds, aren't you?

”Uh, yeah, .......

I'm sure you're a nobleman of the Kingdom of Phallus, aren't you?

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it.

Don't look away!

Yes, yes!

Scheherazade replies with a tearful face to Hercule's sudden shout.

Sheherazade did as she was told and looked straight into Hercule's eyes.

”Are you a nobleman?

”...... No, sir.

Hercule stares straight into Scheherazade's eyes.

He's not lying.

”So you're a commoner?

”...... No.

”Then you're a commoner?

What do you mean?

Hercule tilts his head.

Tell me who you are.

”...... will remain silent.

Sorry, you don't have the right to remain silent. Tell me!

No!　I beg your pardon!

Hercule used his Awe spell to intimidate Scheherazade, but she just shook her head from side to side, crying.

Hercule sighs.

It can't be helped.

Hercule's further questioning would be fruitless.

”...... Your Majesty, do you enjoy torturing girls?

”Don't say it the wrong way. Karolina.

Hercule laughed at Karolina's glare.

And while she was doing that, the Foreign Minister arrived.

”Todoris Todorianus. Your Majesty.

”Oh, you're here.

Hercule is a small, fat man: ......

Todoris Todorianus, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Todris Todrianus.

His race is the half-elven Half-Elves.

He is a vassal of Hadrian III and handles all diplomatic affairs.

Hercule trusted Hadrian III's eye for talent, so he appointed Todoris Todorian as is.

”And she is?

”Yes, that's right. Do you understand?

Todoris stares at Scheherazade.

...... I didn't think you'd say Scheherazade, but...

You know?

I don't know what to tell you. ...... She is Princess Scheherazade. She is the daughter of King Sasan VIII, Princess of the Kingdom of Fars.

Scheherazade.

She is one of the five children of King Sasan VIII, a pure-blooded High Elf of the royal family.

Her beauty is famous in the Kingdom of Foulds, but she is also famous for rarely attending social gatherings.

The reason is simple.

Because Scheherazade is a messianist.

It is not a famous story.

But it is not completely unknown either.

Until a while ago, Messianism was not suppressed in the Kingdom of Fars. ......

There were a small number of Messianics in the center of the country.

But I didn't expect you to run away from home to go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

I've never heard of ...... that. I've never heard of such a thing. A princess running away from home.

Hercule and Todoris stare at Scheherazade.

I'm not sure if I'm a princess or not.

The Emperor of Lemuria is going to catch us. ...... Oh, no. My father will be mad at me. ......

Scheherazade crying and sobbing.

Perhaps, but I'm pretty sure it's more than just being angry.

”So, what do we do now?　Here.
