Arrangements
Three days later, early in the morning, a heliograph is sent.
The message, of course, was that Giran was on his way.
"Shiro-san, he should be here soon."
"Okay then, everyone, let's line up."
"""Yes!!"""
My subordinates replied loudly and clearly
It's good to be in good spirits.
"Shiro-sama, can I ask you a question?"
A relatively young guy asks a question.
"What is the purpose of the prince's visit this time?"
"I was wondering about that. I haven't heard anything."
"You don't mean that the prince will come later and take all the achievements, do you?"
"You're reading too many books. That's not possible."
Well, it is possible in a country with advanced political corruption.
If something like that happened in Berdreich
I'm pretty sure that Quies would be furious, so it's not possible.
And if he doesn't, I will.
I'm going to fly to the lord's mansion and hit it with everything I've got using Lightning Bunker. I'm going to make sure no one dies.
"It wasn't a big deal, so I'll say it, but His Majesty's letter was just [The Prince is coming today]."
"………"
"What's up?"
The young people are silent when I said that
"...Shiro-sama is amazing."
"Huh? Did I say something strange?"
"Normally, when royalty is coming, people get nervous, don't they?"
"I don't know if he remembers it, but I've known him since he was a baby. It's a little late for that."
Come to think of it, we haven't talked since we came back to Berdreich.
Quies was willing to handle all the dealings with me.
"Here they come, come on, get back in position, get back in position."
"Yes!"
---------
The engine part of the lead remains the same.
A luxuriously decorated locomotive arrives
"He didn't spend as much money as I thought..."
"Look at the interior, it's decorated like a throne room."
The interior can be seen from the direction Yukikaze looks.
From there, a door opens and men dressed in fine noble clothes descend.
They carry a rolled-up carpet.
They begin to unroll the carpet toward me.
"Salute!"
Following my instructions, everyone straightens their backs, puts their right hand on their left chest, and puts their heels together.
"Gentlemen, a great honor!"
Giran gets out of the locomotive and stands on the carpet.
Looking at my subordinates at a glance, it's a bit bad
Some of them, especially the younger ones, are shaking in their legs.
They are not used to saluting.
I guess it was the fact that they usually live with their knees bent and their legs hunched.
I'm sorry, but you're going to have to work a little harder.
It's rude to talk to royalty from a position below that of a count.
So I have no choice but to wait for Giran to act.
"Shiro Edgeworth! Do you have room for a meeting?"
"Ha! I will guide you!"
Looks like he noticed it.
----------
"Daaahh... I'm suffocating..."
As soon as we enter the hut where the meeting is going to be held, he's posture suddenly collapses.
It's not me, though.
"Are you not good at this kind of thing?"
I've never talked to him much, so I respond in a respectful manner
"I'm not very good at this. Shisu, do you have anything to drink?"
"All I have is alcohol."
"Damn it! I want some juice!"
Actually, Shisu is behind Giran, keeping a low profile.
"You're far from the territory. Shisu."
"I'm just a decoration. Right now, I'm still evaluated as Father's child."
"Is everything alright there?"
"No problem. I'll make you proud as an Edgeworth, I promise."
He has eyes full of motivation.
If this is the case, the territory has no problem.
"So, I want you to get right down to business. What do you want?"
"I have a few things to tell you."
One.
A direct errand for me from the royal family
"I want to give you this."
And so the letter was handed out.
It's sealed with royalty's wax.
"Who is it?"
"First, King Gadoga"
Wait
"You don't mean..."
"I want you to send this letter to all the royal families of the four kingdoms."
"I'm busy right now."
"It's a royal order from Father."
Quies! He's made more work for me!
Two
Quies steps down from the throne
"That's so sudden!"
"Not right away, the coronation ceremony will be held after this letter is returned to Father."
"Giran will take over?"
"Of course."
Look at the confidence on his face.
"I don't understand why they're going to bother with the coronation."
"What do you mean?"
"Did you do it when Father ascended to the throne?"
"I didn't."
In the first place, if you want to hold a coronation ceremony, you need someone to give you the crown.
On Earth, it would be the highest-ranking priest.
Three
Time to pay Shisu tribute
"Who are you with?"
"Those two."
"…My condolences"
"I wonder why. Why did those two fall in love with me?"
Giran answers the question
"The son of a nobleman who dashingly rescues one from a hopeless situation."
Yeah, she's gonna fall in love
"A young, innocent warrior who treats one well without worrying about her wounds."
Yeah, she's gonna fall in love
"It's okay. It's just two people. You're not going to die."
"The two are planning to have a wedding at the same time!"
Give it up!
Four
Giran will get married after taking over the throne.
"Heh! Who's your partner?"
"Do you know the name of the Herpater family?"
"I don't know"
"Marquis… do you remember the fat man you and Father forced to run the guild?"
"I don't remember"
That's a lie, I forgot about it until now. I didn't find out what happened to him
"The head is dead."
"Assassination?"
"Death by overwork."
"Huh? Just paperwork?"
"Father used him and intentionally disposed of him."
That's terrible...
"So, after the Marquis’ death, Father conducted an inspection."
"You mean…"
"The Marquis family fell into ruin after discovering various [conclusive] evidence of corruption"
Marquis, how much did he hate you?
"After that, the Herpater family, a countryside noble, took his place."
"It seems better not to say anything about this matter."
"No, please listen to the end. Well, the daughter of that family is a good woman."
Cut from here
I listened to Giran's love story for a long time.
Giran said she was very beautiful.
However, because her mother is from the south, her skin color is brown.
That's why no men had taken her.
