Hope
"King Marguerite."
The emperor made a decision
"As a result of discussions, we regret to inform you that we, the Empire, will not lend troops to the kingdom."
This was to be expected.
So this is the end.
""Please wait!""
I accept in silence... and there are two who object.
"I beg you, Your Majesty the Emperor, could you please reconsider again?"
One is Seltense
"Is there something on your mind? Seltense."
"That's... i-it's airship technology!"
"That is?"
"It is true that the airship we discovered in the ruins of the Marguerite Kingdom are weaker than those in the Empire."
"…Continue."
"But the ruins have not been fully investigated."
"I see. So, Seltense, you want to send an Imperial researcher to the Kingdom, and you want to send soldiers to escort it?"
"Ha!"
The emperor mutters quietly.
"It's still weak..."
"Your Majesty the Emperor, please allow me to speak."
"Go ahead, Viscount Augberts."
Another person objected
"I followed the orders of the Boldoi Kingdom and accompanied King Marguerite."
"So?"
"The Kingdom of Marguerite is still in its infancy. However, I assure you that his country is the only one that can rule the center of the continent."
"Oh, why is a nobleman of Boldoi so devoted to another country?"
That's right
He is Boldoi's surveillance of Marguerite.
That's all.
"I... I received a royal order from King Boldoi."
That's something he's not supposed to tell anyone.
"I have been monitoring Marguerite since the founding of the country and have conveyed the details to King Boldoi."
"......"
The emperor says nothing
"The country is still a land of sand. However, the land is becoming calmer but definitely greener."
Why is he so desperate
"The rebuilding of the castle was put off. The king himself was living in poverty. Even so, he shed his blood and sweat for the sake of his people."
"For the sake of the people…?"
"The people of the kingdom are poor. But we can see a bright future, and we hope for it. We entrust our wishes to him, and we live our days with hope and laughter."
"I see…"
The emperor rises from his throne and orders
"Seltense"
"Ha!"
"You choose who to send. I'll allow up to 50 people."
"Yes!"
"Select the guards for the bachelor's group. That's the end of this story."
The ties with the empire were never severed.
But in the end, we couldn't borrow soldiers.
Yes
It was made clear that no soldiers from the Empire would come to the Kingdom.
