145 Episode 38: Magic Birthday Festival, Held (1/2)
”Long time no see, King Orphans! No, you were already my predecessor! No way, I didn't expect you to bravely defeat so soon! No, I'm afraid so!
”Ugh... Emperor Lukeheim seems to be breathtaking and above all...”
”Lord Silphine, long time no see! I used to look at each other once a year...”
”We are out of time, Emperor Lukeheim. I have already left my post as a diplomat, so I have less chance of getting to the empire.”
”Um, the successors are doing great again. As long as I envy the kingdom of Palettia with all its talented talent.”
The greeting was there, and when he passed to the room for the reception, Emperor Lukeheim broke his face and tangled up with his father and mother. My father has a slightly pale face on the top of the Buddha, but my mother is not particularly different.
Emperor Lukeheim, who is actively speaking to his father and mother, is in a good mood. I mean, there's no gap for us to get tangled.
”None, Princess Anisphere. Don't let your brother put you through trouble.”
”Dear Falgana, Good luck escorting the messengers.”
It was Lady Falgana in disguise who spoke to me. The attitude of speaking to me was shattered, although I give a gentle eulogy with a bitter smile.
”It's all about coming and going between kingdoms and empires because of you. I'd love an air bike, too.”
”Unfortunately, no air bikes are scheduled for sale outside the country”
”Chi, right? If you could export all that stuff, you'd be more scared.”
Master Falgana smiled bitterly and said so. I don't know if he really thinks that or if it's an act.
While it does make getting to and from the Empire a little easier if you can travel by air bike, Air Bike is not going to let you out of the country. Even in the country, it's too soon to put that in the hands of the people. It's going to be under state control for a while.
Two, I noticed Master Falgana's gaze was directed at Emperor Lukeheim, not me. Emperor Lukeheim at the end of his gaze continues his conversation with his father and mother in a superior mood. Instead, your father and mother look confused.
”No, I'm sorry about the truth... My brother has been waiting a long time for this day, take a closer look. Anyway, I'm officially trying to form a friendship, so I was looking forward to having a conversation with both the King and his wife. Damn, that's a good old kid.”
”The kingdom and the empire have always been a delicate relationship, so we wouldn't have talked about it...”
”Oh, thanks also to Princess Anisphere and Her Majesty Queen Uphilia”
I flaunt my shoulders to Master Falgana, who smiles brightly. We are about to cut off and form an alliance. If that makes you smile, I don't feel bad.
”Excuse me for the welcome. My Royal Brother Falgana, may I confirm your plans for the future as you cross the border?
”Oh, the Duke of Grants. If you're my brother, I'll take your place. I'm sorry, it's nice to meet you.”
Lord Grants walked over when I was talking to Master Falgana and took Master Falgana. Emperor Lukeheim still seemed happy to be waving the subject to his father and mother.
You're a fancy guy with a liver, Emperor Lukeheim. It's a little unusual that that mother is about to be pushed off. Although it may be because of a different attitude than before.
”Anis.”
”Ufi.”
Uffi walked over to me so that Master Falgana could be replaced by Lord Grants. There is a bitter smile on that look. That gaze is directed at the fathers.
”... you don't seem to have my turn”
”Ha... it's not like I'm being scorned for anything else, isn't it easier to talk to people my age?
”That's right, but should we come mixed up in the conversation for once? Looks like you're both in trouble.”
”So is that, if I leave you alone, you're going to be pissed off later”
After snorted at each other with Uffi, we approached our father, who was in the middle of a conversation. The first thing I noticed was my father. I feel like I'm in a ho somewhere.
”Thank you, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law and Emperor Lukeheim's counterpart”
”Oh, Queen Uphilia. Thank you again for this opportunity.”
”Yeah, it looks like you're enjoying it.”
”Hmm. I, the emperor, could never have been more welcoming, Lord Orphans!
”… Sometimes the situation in our country has not settled down. Now that we have given the throne to Uphilia, the kingdom is in the middle of a leap.”
”Uhm. Queen Uphilia is excellent from my eyes and at the same time horrible. Princess Anisphere got a good man, too, and people fit where they fit in.”
Gosh, something popped on me!? Good people usually mean mates or something like that! Hih, I don't deny it, but it itches me to be told by others...
”I also asked for marriage from the Empire, but if Queen Uphilia is the opponent, it will only be the horse. No, if Princess Anisphere had been born into the Aylene Empire, I would have dreamed that the empire and kingdom would have had a different relationship again.”
”... as long as you have a headache thinking about this child being born into an empire”
My mother flaunted Emperor Lukeheim's joke. What if I was born into an empire? I think I'm here now because, for better or worse, I was raised by my father and mother as princess of the Kingdom of Palletia.
If I didn't grow up in the kingdom, I might not be able to imagine myself for a moment. That's going to be someone too far from me.
”... sometimes Emperor Lukeheim. It's a personal interest, but same-sex marriage should have been recognized by the Empire, right? I'd also like to ask you about legal developments around here.”
”Hmm? Oh, my country has swallowed up the territory of various countries. The late, areas that leave such cultures and customs exist. It is true that the proposed compromise for those who had such a culture...”
”Really... Anis and Uffi are still a culture far from the kingdom, albeit with good luck, so it's a hand-driven exploration”
