103 Episode 103: Princess Iris, Receive a Report on The Magic Guild (1/2)
This is a hotel near the Royal Palace.
In that reception room, Eighth Princess Iris, along with Second Prince Cain, had received a report about 'Operation Flora-Zamel Rescue'.
”I believe the greatest achievement lies in Yuki-Grossalia”
Beyond the table, officials from the 'Magic Guild' said.
”By his work, Flora-Zamel was successfully rescued. They have taken away their magic, and they are weakened, but there is nothing else in their lives. You are currently being cured in a therapeutic compartment in your Alliance.”
”I wonder what happened to the replica Lord, which she was using?
Unexpectedly, Prince Cain opened his mouth.
”The cause of this incident seems to be that it went wild.”
”They recovered it safely. According to the analysis of the Zamelites, the cause of the outburst was the possession of the mighty Ghost.”
”The anti-ghost defense system was incomplete, I suppose?
”I'm sorry... I didn't want to go that far...”
”Right. Well, I guess there's no report here.”
”No, Old Zamel said he wanted to give Prince Cain a Replica Road specification.”
”... what?
Prince Cain turns into a pompous face.
”Old Zamel told me? Replica Road specifications?
”Yes, it seems so.”
”You gotta be kidding me!? Never before has the” Zamelites ”handed over information on research results!?
”So, but Old Zamel did say that”
”... incredible”
Prince Cain sat down in his chair, bewildered.
Looking sideways at it, Iris said,
(... it's not impossible for Brother Cain to get away with it)
Until now, the 'Cainese' and 'Zamel' have competed for magic skills in the Alliance.
The same goes for the exploration of Elusion, as well as for the search for 'ancient objects' and 'ancient magic'.
The old mainstream, the 'Zamel', has been wary of the emerging 'Cain', and the 'Cain' was desperate to become mainstream on behalf of the 'Zamel'.
Little did we exchange information about the magic that we developed independently.
The reason why the Zamelites have changed...
(After all, is it because of My Lord)
Iris smiles unexpectedly.
Yuki doesn't give a shit about factions.
I also went to help Flora-Zamel, probably to the point of 'Can't Leave You Lost'.
With him helping his granddaughter like that, Old Zamel may have changed his mind, too.
”Old Zamel said.” It is possible that in the northern empire there is an abominable ”Sanctuary Church” priest alive and present. In that situation, we cannot have factional strife. I would love to tie hands with the Cainese and create a complete replica-load. ”
Alliance officials continued to report.
”That old Zamel...”
”I think it's a good thing. Brother Cain.”
”Iris is right... but I can't believe it.”
”Reporting continues”
Guild staff, Kohon, take it easy,
”'Yuki-Grossalia, who saved my granddaughter, is also an escort knight of His Highness Iris-Leastia, albeit factionless. Therefore, it can be said that it is close to the' Cainese '”
”... well, I am”
Prince Cain sighed.
”The problem is that Yuki-Grossalia herself hasn't given me that idea. I always tell DeMetel to solicit him to the faction.”
”'If we link that Yuki-Grossalia to my grandson, the Cain and Zamel can connect him as a bridge. Why don't we work together to face the Northern Empire?”
”Wait a minute, please”
Iris raised his hand.
”Bringing Yuki and Flora-Zamel to the brink, is it?
”Yes. Looks like I want you to marry me in the future”
”... I don't know what that means. How is that possible?”
”In short, Old Zamel seems to want to associate his own granddaughter with a Yuki-Grossalia C-class magician.”
Looking at the note at hand, the guild official answered.
”There is a stretch.” First I want Flora to work as a squire for Yuki-Grossalia. Flora apologizes to him. For this reason, I would not tell Yuki-Grossalia and Flora about the marriage, but first try to keep them close. Can you help us? '- That's it. ”
”... that's not a bad suggestion”
”Brother Cain!?
”That we don't even wish to have a system of cooperation with the 'Zamelites'. If Yuki-Grossalia will hold on to the granddaughter of old Zamel, through him we will also have information on the 'Zamelites'. Moreover, if the Viscount of Grossaria ascends to the Count's house, the character of the house is commensurate. Not bad.”
”Please wait, my brother. - No, Your Highness, Prince Cain.”
Iris took a seat and looked at Prince Cain from the front.
”Yuki is my escort knight. I will not allow that to be a tool of the faction!
”I'm sorry, but you need to take your seat off.”
Prince Cain told the Alliance's officials so.
The reporter's staff will leave the reception room in a courtesy.
Then Prince Cain looked at Iris,
”There seems to be a misunderstanding, but I'm not going to use Yuki-Grossalia as a tool. Until I thought about giving him a place worthy of his accomplishments.”
”Suitable status, is it”
”He has power. He got two 'King's Rides (Road)' plus a new 'Ancient Magic' in Elusion and a key to the fifth tier. The Viscount of Grossaria would have been given the status of Marquis, not Count.”
”... I understand”
”But there are also combinations with other nobles. We need a lot of back shield to get him out more. So I guess Old Zamel is trying to convince the nobles around him by marrying him and his granddaughter.”
”Because if you are in the body of Old Zamel, you can suppress the grievances of other aristocrats even if you give them more status than the Marquis...?
You know what I mean.
Prince Cain nods satisfactorily.
