Difference
"What's the difference between a principality and a kingdom?"
I asked Tenrei, and she replied like this.
"It's a country where the highest noble is the king."
That's it, end of the question
Is there a simpler explanation than that?
"Iluikamira is currently a country ruled by Prince Yarkan."
It was Sendora, holding the reins, who began to speak.
"It used to be a very rough place."
"Wasn't it once a very wealthy land?"
"No, the opposite."
"What do you mean?"
"It was a country that depended only on spices. It was a miracle of governance, if you ask us old-timers."
"It must have been hard."
"The local people suffered worse than we did."
Its ethnic name is Isalka
It is said that this is a tribe that knows how to make the perfume, which Iluikamira defends to the death.
"Sendora-dono, is that something you mustn't tell us?"
"No problem. The surrounding countries were also aware of it."
It is also said that in the past, Iluikamira treated Isalka horribly.
"The principality was also desperately trying to survive. They were persecuting Isalka quite a bit."
"I'm surprised they didn't escape..."
"The neighboring countries were worse. It is said that in ancient times, Isalka's territory was the territory of seven neighboring countries."
Sendora says that when the Western countries learned of the perfume, they went to great lengths to find out how it was made.
According to him
They tortured young children in front of them and tried to get the parents to tell them the process.
According to him
They would rape their wives and daughters in front of their eyes and try to get them to tell them.
"Those trash!"
"I'm glad to hear you say so. The Empire is decent."
It's nothing but unpleasant to see your own daughter being humiliated.
"How is that Isalka treated now?"
"Currently, they are treated equally as citizens of Iluikamira. However, the manufacturing method is still a secret only to the people of Isalka."
"Hmm? So those who were killed by gouging out their eyes..."
"They are all from Isalka."
Then the most suspicious are the neighboring countries?
Did people from other countries who were smuggled into the country torture them to learn the manufacturing process?
But if that's the case, I don't understand the reason for leaving the corpse behind.
"Tenrei?"
"Perhaps they didn't have the time to hide it, or they left the body there for the purpose of scaring or intimidating people."
Tenrei answered my question easily.
"How can you be sure?"
"It's almost far-fetched. There's too little information."
Yeah
Wince and I will act in a way that is easy to understand and flashy.
It seems better to have Tenrei work in secret.
"Even if I look like this, I'm good at hiding, so leave it to me."
"Yeah, I'll show off so much that they'll forget Tenrei's presence."
