Oh, come on, don't be so mad. See?　Luna.

...... I can't believe it. I can't believe you just kissed me like that.

You seemed pretty happy about it in the second half, didn't you?

I just got caught up in the ...... atmosphere.

Hercule and Lunalie were riding their horses towards Erstadt, the capital of Hayastan.

They were accompanied by a corps of infantry, three battalions of cavalry, three battalions of archers, and some captured prisoners.

Normally, a man in Hercule's position should be riding in a carriage. ......

Hercule said, ”This is a battlefield. He refused and chose to ride a horse, saying, ”This is a battlefield, and I can't bear to ride in a carriage while the soldiers are walking.

Lunalie also chose to ride alongside Hercule.

...... What is a Luna?

It's a nickname.

...... I don't remember giving you permission to call me that.

Oh, my God. I'm the emperor, what do you need my permission for?

The man in front of me stopped.

The man in front of me would not stop even if I asked him to stop, in fact, the more I asked him to stop, the more he would stop.

The man in front of her would not stop even if she asked him to stop.

”By the way, did Luna have any particular feelings about that young elf guy?

”I liked him, I loved him.

I liked him, I loved him,” Lunalie said with a blank expression, and then ......

Do I need to say that?

No, not that I'm saying that, but... Well, well, don't be so picky. It's just a personal interest of mine.

Lunalie responded to Hercule's answer with a sigh and then ......

It's not just a childhood friend ......, it's someone you knew when you were little. There are plenty of people like that in the kingdom of Hayastan. I don't have any particular thoughts on the matter.

”I see, so you're okay with dying?

...... I don't like people who act to the detriment of the Kingdom of Khayastan. If they don't think about it, so be it.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Everything is for the good of the whole kingdom of Hayastan.

Lunalie's thoughts were consistent throughout.

What Lunalie loves is the Kingdom of Khayastan and its people as a whole.

In other words, she has no particular love for the people of Hayastan, one by one.

If one Hayastanian's life could save 10,000 Hayastans, Lunalie would gladly kill that one Hayastanian.

In other words, the greatest happiness for the greatest number.

In other words, the greatest happiness of the greatest number.

In other words, the greatest happiness of the greatest number.

In this sense, Hercule and Lunalie are very similar in their thinking.

They are both rationalists and realists.

If I were to raise the difference, it would be ......

The difference is that Hercule is basically disposable to himself and those close to him, and his first priority is the happiness of himself and those around him.

Lunalie, on the other hand, would put the interests, safety, and happiness of the entire kingdom of Hayastan first, even at the expense of herself.

”By the way, is there a man of your choice, Lunar?

”Someone who can benefit the kingdom of Hayastan. Someone who will protect the kingdom of Khayastan.

So, what's your least favorite type?

Someone who would be a detriment to the Kingdom of Hayastan. Someone who not only doesn't protect the Kingdom of Khayastan, but also puts it in danger.

I didn't really want to ask that, but ......

He scratched his head and then asked again.

So, what about me?

”As long as you protect me, I love you. I love you.

Are you willing to fall in love with the individual, Hercule, and not the Emperor of Lemuria?

”...... No.

Hercule cowered, not saying a word.

I'm not sure what to say, but I think it's a good idea.

It's no fun to fall in love with someone right from the start.

That was Hercule's idea.

In addition, it is worth mentioning now that Hercule liked Lunalie as a woman.

The encounter was not a good one, but Hercule was not the type to hold grudges. (Except for tormenting her with it.)

I like the way he looks and the way he thinks. I also liked him for his high patriotism.

More than anything, Hercule liked him because he was a bit rebellious.

Specifically, he never used honorifics, even if he had to.

”Your Majesty!　I have something to report!

”I don't care if you dismount. Just say it.

What!　I have a report from the scouting party!　The river bridge in front of us is damaged and we can't get across!

...... I see. What's the water level in the river?

”According to the report from the reconnaissance unit, .......

Hearing the report from the reconnaissance unit, Hercule sighed.

I don't think I can make it across.

We're going to have to go around.

...... But there was one thing that bothered Hercule.

...... It is true that it rained in the Kingdom of Khayastan three days ago. But it wasn't that heavy of a downpour. ...... Is it that easy to get washed away?

Or is he harassing the Lemurian army? ......

I'm not sure what's so funny.　If it rains, the bridge will flow.

No, I don't think they're usually damaged that easily. ......

And then, a little curious, Hercule asks Lunalie.

Do you think the levees will break too?　How much did they break last year?

”Um, .......

Hearing Lunalie's answer, Hercule covers his face with his hand.
