Plan
"I don't think we're at fault in any way for this, do you?"
"Well, I understand that, but there is no doubt that it caused an uproar."
It's inexcusable.
A girl is being made to cry by two men in a room.
We were pursued by the hotel staff and the military police as if we were garbage.
"I'm truly sorry, King Marguerite."
A man bowing deeply in front of me
King Boldoi smiles happily while looking at us like that.
"Please make sure to explain this to the inn and the military police, okay?"
"No problem. I've already done it."
The name of the man who bows is Aastil.
Count Aastil Reynold
Father of Meryl Reynold, the girl who cried
"Well, I'm glad we've had our meeting, even if it was in a strange way."
"What do you mean?"
"Count Reynold's family married a woman from another country four generations ago. It's the bloodline of Marguerite's royal family."
"…Are you related to me by blood?"
"That's right. I think she's going to be beautiful, don't you?"
Wait, you mean
"I would like you to marry my daughter once Marguerite's royal family is restored. That's what I'm talking about."
"…Certainly, it would be a solid means to solidify the royal lineage and solidify the relationship with Boldoi."
The problem is the age of that girl.
"She'll be 7 years old this year."
"She's out of my league, it's impossible."
"I'm not telling you to connect right away. I'm just asking you to put up with it for eight years."
"Well, I'll be 35 by then, right? That's tough."
When I looked out the window, I saw the crying girl smiling and making a flower crown.
The man to whom she is giving it is Olasha.
"She's a very shy girl, though."
"Because Olasha was an orphan."
Perhaps he's used to dealing with younger people.
"Hey, hey, the setting got broken, you know?"
"I bet you noticed anyway, King Boldoi?"
"I see... no matter who sees it, we don't look like brothers."
Should Olasha take that girl?
I'm sure he was 18 or 19 now.
Ten years older would not be too much to ask for...
"How about Aastil?"
"If we become the companion of the rumored snake dragon slayer, well, it will be good."
"One thing to keep in mind is that Olasha is mutualistic. Please keep in mind that this story will blow up if the two of them don't want it."
"What if we fill the moat with a ready-made story or a big publicity stunt?"
"Worst case, he'll disappear in front of us."
"That's not a problem. It is a topic that I'm keeping quiet about until I'm sure."
There's a bit of silence after that.
It was King Boldoi who broke it.
"That's how it is. Thank you for your work, Aastil."
"Yes, then please excuse me."
"Oh, tell the guards not to let anyone else get close."
Count Reynold leaves the room.
"Now then, Lucette. Now we get to the point."
"What happened with the conversation with the Empire's Bachelor?"
"About that. I want you to head towards that ruins again."
"Reason?"
"Repairing the ship that swims in the wind"
"Can we fix it?"
"It seems that if you have the materials, you can do emergency repairs."
After that, with the help of the Empire, we'll bring the ship back to life.
It's of no value to the Empire as a military force.
But as a historical material, it is of great value.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Marguerite royal family, isn’t it?"
"Yeah, it's not impossible to effectively control the Dead Desert if we show our strength."
The problem is that we need to manipulate the situation so that the Empire intervenes [as an ally].
"Don’t you have anything advantageous to say to Shelma?"
"The details are unknown, but there are some suspicious stories."
"What kind?"
"Many people from the countries surrounding Shelma have gone missing recently."
"Bandits?"
"I stand corrected. It's not just a lot, it's abnormal. It's as if settlements are disappearing."
"You’re not going to tell me to investigate, are you?"
"I won't let you do something that dangerous. I'll give you the data later. Don't let anyone see it, okay?"
"Okay. For now, I'll concentrate on repairing the ship with that bachelor."
