Imperial Gift
Now, how will the Emperor respond?
Marguerite brought out all the material he could.
By releasing them all at once, it seemed like there was still more to draw from...
But this is the only way to get cooperation.
The best thing to do is to hit them all at once before they cool down.
"He's buying some time."
That's right.
The empire is mighty
This can be said not only in terms of military strength but also in terms of human resources.
The subjects will calmly consult and submit their plans to the emperor.
And the emperor would not take them lightly.
There was a clear relationship of trust between the emperor and his subjects.
First of all, if the Empire would not cooperate.
In that case, we'll go back to Marguerite and take care of Shelma.
While I was thinking about the future by myself, there was a knock on the door.
"King Marguerite, may I come in?"
It's not the Emperor's voice.
Even though it's from another country, it's not the way to talk to the king.
But to the owner of the voice
To this voice that I will never forget, kings and positions have no value whatsoever.
"Please"
I'm Olasha Marguerite
Nothing else
Therefore, as a king, I must face her.
"Excuse me"
Ahh
This person hasn't changed at all
A body that looks like a child's
Eyes that convey intelligence
She must be here after understanding everything.
"Well, well, it is Yukikaze-sama, am I correct?"
"…Yeah."
Her expression was somewhat sad, as if she had been treated in a stranger's way.
She came to my room alone
In her hands, she holds a wooden box that is much longer than she is.
"One of the gods of the Empire, Yukikaze."
"Once again, nice to meet you, the king of Marguerite Kingdom, Olasha Marguerite."
Her expression changed immediately and became inorganic and aloof.
"You say you have no knowledge of a man named Tyler?"
"I have no idea who he is."
"......"
"......"
Silence ensues.
She keeps looking at me.
"He was an excellent swordsman."
"Losing that is a loss for the empire."
"Yeah, I would have given him this sword before he left the empire."
Yukikaze-sama opens the wooden box.
"This is…"
The sword is long, thin, and delicate, yet powerful.
"Those who excel in the empire will receive a special sword from the chief god Lute."
I know.
But I pretend not to know.
"King Marguerite, I entrust you with this sword."
"…Ha?"
"Tyler is definitely on your continent. I want you to find him and give him this sword."
"T-that's..."
"Until you give it to him, you can use it freely. You can give it to your vassals, or you can use it."
That means
"Do as you please."
With that said, Yukikaze-sama leaves the room.
Naturally
I bowed my head to her, who was probably just beyond the door.
