The Brain of a Duke Princess

The Brain of a Duke Princess
The Night Party II



“Prince Alfred is also trying to assess your abilities. I must admit, some of the policies of the Armelia House seem to be beneficial to the country. ”


"Oh ... Prince Alfred earlier?"


“... You don't seem too surprised. ”


“I was told in advance that she works in this country. Moreover, as factions began to form here and there, wasn't it natural for them to make contact with the head? "


In reality it seems like the people gathered here are quite independent, but there are some interesting characters here and there. By gathering everyone here, the real mastermind might be planning to bring everyone together. Of course by gathering everyone here, it would be very difficult to call an actual top representative.


“In addition, if that person has a big supporter among the participants, there is no doubt that the story about my battle has been told as well. ”


After all, the Minister of Finance, Earl Sagittaria, and a large number of other important bureaucrats gathered here. If he could make them accompany him, it would not be difficult to conclude that they were here for political reasons.


“If he really observes my home, then I am honored. However, I cannot say for sure that my region meets its standards ”


The success of my fief, and my ability to push forward my plans are largely attributed to my status. Had I not been the Ruler of my territory, there must have been some doubt that I would have succeeded so much. The strength of a landlord in this country is very high, if for example the country seeks to move as a single being, it is likely that the time between negotiations and movements will be exhausting.


“I am sure he will be able to change the existing order to reunite this country. ”


As if understanding my true intentions, Earl Sagittaria laughed lightly.


(私 の 意 図 を 読 み 取 取 っ か か 、 ジ ジ タ タ リ ア 様 様 笑 っ て て て て た)


But what he said stuck with me. To change existing orders and reunite people? I glanced at Earl Sagittaria who was grinning. It was as if he was trying to read my true intentions.


As I thought before, the strength of one master is too great. Basically one region is more like a country, and the group of countries is named after the country. For that reason, laws and taxation are somewhat regulated by the state, but as long as the state does not violate the established laws they can do anything. I also attribute my success to this perks. The only exception to this understanding, of course, was the capital, which was under the direct control of the king.


So, let's assume someone changed this understanding. Didn't that lead to the rise and strengthening of royalty? Removing power from the House and returning it to Royalty, It seems more feasible and very likely to unite the country. But there is no doubt that there will be opposition to the idea. Is this really possible?


Even so it confuses me that Earl Sagittaria would discuss such things with me. Even if I decide to attend this party, there is no guarantee that I will side with the First Prince Faction


With that in mind, I thought back to the conversation I had a moment ago.


"In the end, what are you aiming for?"


Could the previous conversation be related to this one? If it were possible, indeed uniting the country through a reorganization of power, would it be to ask, what would I do? I wonder if that's what he wants to know. Will I rebel and separate. . Or will I follow and obey? Instead of father, he wanted to know what I, the Landlord's successor, was thinking.

“I can't understand what kind of person he is yet, so, until now, I couldn't decide. That's why I'm going to try to observe. However, even if he could succeed ... even if it was for the purpose of the nation, I wouldn't be happy once ”


I can't say anything because I haven't met Prince Alfred in person, so this is my real opinion. I cannot say for sure that I will be willing to follow.


"Of course . Very interesting . By the way, I will look forward to the day where you stand near him ”


"Of course you're kidding. It's scary to imagine standing next to him ”


"I'm sorry, I made a joke too far"


With that, I parted ways with Earl Sagittaria. My eyes followed him as he left and greeted some people, and after that was done, he took a break.


While watching Earl, I was shocked. Even though I only spoke to Earl, I was exhausted.


"How did you find today's show?"


“I feel this is very fun”


I said with a smile. If I let my guard down, my fatigue will appear on my face ”


I said with a smile. If I let my guard down, my fatigue will appear on my face ”


"B . . That reminds me of Baron Messi, may I ask you a question ”?


"What's that?"


“Why do you want to return to your region immediately? Everyone who is here – does not include bureaucrats from the imperial castle, stay until the end of the season, right? ”


( 「何故, 貴 方 は 領地 に 早 く お 帰 り に? こ こ に い る 皆 様 方 … 王 城 で 官僚 を さ れ て い る 方 を 除 い て … シ ー ズ ン 中 は 皆 様 王 都 に 残 ら れ る と 仰 っ て ま し た. て っ き り, 皆 様 方も も う お 帰 り に な な ら れ る か 思 思 っ て て い ま し の の で …… 」……」)


I thought I had asked too much, and to my surprise Baron Messi started talking.


"That's because it's a duty entrusted to me"


"That task?"


"Yes nih . Was Miss Iris informed by Gazelle of Towair's military campaign? "


“Of course I've heard of it. Though, I must admit that my knowledge is limited to what I read ”


“It's enough. As Miss probably said, I fought under Gazelle in the Towair campaign. And because of that campaign, my achievements were awarded the title of nobleman. ”


Baron Messi looked like he was remembering a distant place.


“It's enough. As Miss probably said, I fought under Gazelle in the Towair campaign. And because of that campaign, my achievements were awarded the title of nobleman. ”


Baron Messi looked like he was remembering a distant place.


“I am nothing more than a soldier, even with my status change, nothing has changed from me. And since we have not reached a truce or conclusion with Towair, I cannot leave my territory open for too long. ”


The reason was understandable; however, something stuck in my mind. Earl Monroe who ruled over the same territory as Baron Messi once reasoned it was because he was a "Military Man". There was no doubt that he would be more careful of such things. But I felt that it was too rushed. Coming to the capital almost before the start of Foundation Day holiday, and leaving soon after, it was almost as if there was still a threat of an outbreak of war.


"Even now that I see us in the middle of a war, I can't like a man telling Miss that we're going to be okay, I can't tell Miss not to worry. So I hope you stay alert .. That's all I can say. I can't predict whether the other side will come to attack us now or later, all I can say is they are definitely aiming for us. ”


“I see resources, wealth, and food. ”


"Yes, and also the hatred left over from the war 30 years ago"


War . I can't think of the distance between Amelia and Towair as my reason for lowering my guard. And once the war begins, the burden imposed on everyone will be heavy.


"Thank you so much for the warning"


"Not a problem . I'm sorry for bringing up such a terrible topic here. I'll excuse you now. ”


“Do not worry, it is very informative”
