239 Episode 22 Eastern Fires (1/2)

About six months have passed since King Ludwig II came to Nova Lemuria,...... and he is finally returning home.

”Ugh. ......

”Come on, Constantine.

Constantina clung to King Ludwig II with tears in her eyes.

Karolina desperately tries to pull her away from him.

Constantina seemed to have grown quite attached to King Ludwig II.

I'm glad. I'm glad to see you two are getting along so well.

”...... Well, yes.

Hercule vaguely agreed with Bradamante's words.

Hercule had miscalculated ...... the extent to which Constantina would fall in love with King Ludwig II.

(......Will she send us information that will be advantageous to our country?

The reason why royalty and nobility marry abroad is to deepen the friendship between the two countries. ......

Another role is to pass information to the home country.

It would be an exaggeration to say that they are spies, but to some extent they do have that aspect.

Naturally, all countries are aware of this fact.

Therefore, they can limit the quality and quantity of information they give to their wives, and hide what they do not want to be known.

Hercule is doing something similar to Scheherazade.

As a result, it is not possible to probe into state secrets, but it is still an important window of information.

For example, Rinasha, who married Ihsan of Kurotsuki, is informing Lemuria of the current situation in Kurotsuki, even though she is filtered by Kurotsuki to some extent.

Therefore, Hercule was expecting Constantina to play such a role in the future.

But...

However, when Constantina became too attached to King Ludwig II, it became impossible for her to do so.

She loves her husband, but her motherland is still her motherland.

I want her to feel that way.

Motherland?　I love my husband more than that!

This is a very beautiful story in a love story, but I don't want my daughter to be in that situation.

(I hope she's as dry as Linasha. (I wish she was as dry as Linasha, but ...... she's still young, and we'll have to teach her a lesson.

In the worst case scenario, the spying can be left to Constantina's bodyguards and followers.

And ......

”But Bradamante. I'm going to miss you ...... a little bit.

Hercule said lightly to Bradamante.

Fortunately, he was able to get to know Bradamante.

Her loyalty seems to be to Fulling, so we can't expect her to deliberately release information that would be detrimental to Fulling. ......

Still, more channels of information are desirable.

That's right, Your Majesty. But as long as the friendship between our two countries remains unbroken, our friendship will never be severed. I hope we will meet again soon.

Bradamante replied to Hercule nonchalantly.

Although it was half-obvious that she was his mistress, she was still a member of his diplomatic mission.

Therefore, she could not kiss him passionately and say good-bye.

(Well, we'll come back next year or so.) But since we made love last night, we have no regrets.

(Well, we'll be back next year or so, I suppose. (We'll probably come back next year or so. ...... And if Ludwig II decides to study abroad in earnest, he'll stay here for a longer period of time.

This visit of King Ludwig II is just a face-to-face meeting.

If King Ludwig II likes Lemuria, we can expect him to study here for a long time.

Not to be smug, but Lemuria has a better culture, technology, and legal system than Fullerling.

In fact, King Ludwig II seemed to be overwhelmed by Lemuria's national power.

If he was an industrious man, he would have wanted to study abroad to learn from Lemuria.

That way, he could enjoy the body of the bradamante a little more.

Or not.

We can make King Ludwig II pro-Lemuria.

That would certainly have a positive impact on the future of relations between our two countries for a hundred years.

”Ugh ......, goodbye ......, goodbye .......

”Constantina, this is not a goodbye. Constantina, this is not goodbye. ...... I'll be back soon, I promise.

Hercule watches as Ludwig II pats Constantina's head.

Fortunately, King Ludwig II is planning to come back soon.

”Well, Your Highness. I'll see you soon.

Thinking that it was about time, Hercule said to King Ludwig II.

He nodded broadly.

I look forward to seeing you again. Emperor of Lemuria.

And so the diplomatic mission of Fraling returned home.

”Now, on today's agenda: ......

After King Ludwig II's return.

After the return of King Ludwig II, Hercule gathered his subjects for a quick meeting.
