The Brain of a Duke Princess

"............"

Princess Leticia quietly stood up and turned her back to me while walking towards the window.

He contemplated his future, threw his gaze out the window and enjoyed the vast expansive scenery.

"… Do you remember when we first met, Ludy?" [Capital]

"Of course . When I first met you, I had been taken to the castle by Alfred and you were hiding behind him the entire time, trying to hide your face because you were too embarrassed. "[Ludy]

“... Ah, embarrassing thing to do. "[Camp]

Letty agreed somewhat shyly, and I smiled as I recalled these nostalgic memories.

“It was so fun. I was very happy at the time. You used to play in the park behind the castle, didn't you? When I was young, I was not allowed to step outside the castle. The castle was already full of tension, and I was never able to visit the Royal Palace either. You enjoy accompanying my brother, am I right? … Granny, Brother, and you are the world to me. "[Camp]

"… Letty ..." [Ludy]

"Ludy, please don't make that face. I'm so happy, you know. Of course, I don't know what it's like to get along in what kind of group or environment the school might have, and I don't know about the things that people of the same generation are talking about … but I can understand what lies beyond all that shallowness. "[Camp]

Ever since he was young, he had never been able to take part in life outside of his cage. His confined life helps him understand the current political battlefield and the dispute with Elliya for the throne.

“Somehow, my grandmother did not understand my desire to visit the outside world. Thankfully, Elder Brother does not see me as a pawn to use in a limited life. "[Camp]

Speaking of how she was trapped, without a doubt, Leticia could be forced to marry a noble in order to pull her house to Alfred's side.

“In addition, it is impossible for Elder Brother to marry anyone under these circumstances. "[Camp]

"Well, about marriage" Onii-Sama "it and low-born women, it can be a problem for them if a child is born with a weak lineage. "[Camp]

As Leticia said. For this reason, Alfred suppressed Edward's influence.

"What if Baron's daughter gave birth to a child when Prince Alfred removed Prince Edward from the Royal Family?"

The Royal Family had some direct descendants. They are Prince Alfred, Prince Edward, and Princess Leticia.

Today, Prince Alfred and Prince Edward are vying for the throne. To ensure Prince Edward was crowned king, his faction dragged many nobles into strife. If Edward's faction lost, at most, they would be imprisoned for life, and at worst, they would be put to death.

Hypothetically speaking .. and in no way do I imagine this ever happened .. if Prince Alfred loses, there are nine in ten occasions that the cold face of death would welcome him. It was highly unlikely that Elliya would stop at such a light sentence of imprisonment. Therefore, Prince Alfred also fought in the difficult terrain …

The victor will remain in power, while the loser will be expelled from the Royal Family. Hypothetically speaking, if Princess Letty was married and had children before Prince Alfred claimed the throne, then only Prince Alfred and his son would stand in line for the throne.

In this situation, being married to Princess Letty would definitely think of this:

If "something" happens to Prince Alfred, my home will bring up a new Royal Family.

… In other words, it would trigger a civil war.

Yes, they want to stop the Queen Dowager [1] from supporting Prince Alfred by all means.

“Didn't Elder Brother prevent me from entering into any political marriage that could benefit his faction to keep me out of Elliya's view? He made everyone believe that I had a weak constitution to keep me out of the limelight .. Really, Brother did nothing but protect me, didn't he? "[Camp]

"… That is proof of how much she loves you, Princess Letty. "[Ludy]

“... Fufufu. You are right ... In that case, I wonder if my marriage can determine Elder Brother's victory? Aah .. if Alfred is defeated, that damn Brother could marry me to a foreign country for personal gain. "[Camp]

… Hearing Princess Letty say the word "marriage" made my heart a little sad.

But it was only for a moment; maybe it was just a fleeting emotion .. so I focused back on my conversation with Princess Letty.

"… That possibility makes me anxious, and I've grown so lonely without you and Big Brother in the castle. As I thought, the past is the most exciting time. "[Camp]

Princess Letty showed a melancholy smile after she said that. Attracted by that smile, my face became serious as I felt a renewed devotion to the lonely sibling.

“... Ludy, we have to win. For Brother, for the Daughter of the Duke of Armelia, and for my own sake. "[Camp]

"Religion . "[Ludy]

“For now, we need countermeasures to overcome Armelia Fief trade disruptions. Since this concerns Elder Brother, have you already done something about it? ”[Leticia]

"Eeh, yeah ..." [Ludy].

“I will do my part to help in any way I can. "[Camp]

Princess Letty ended the conversation with a smile.
