1477 War and Peace, Part 15 - Little Queen and Alphilis ③ -

Alphilis and I have not come aboard helplessly. When he regained his mind, Alphilis turned to Ray fans.

"You want me to show you what the request is about? You're going to have a lot of problems."

"It must be an escort. But what are you protecting me from? If you can imagine, I'd like to hear it from you."

"That depends on what you propose at the Continental Peace Conference."

"I see. So what's that, then?

Against the girl who elbows at the table and looks up at Alphilis, Alphilis wondered what she would do if she were in the position of a Ray fan.

Krums has waged war on all sides. The quote, the mastermind, is supposed to harm himself (that is). sweep away the rotten conservative aristocracy while restoring the reduced power, fallen morale due to reparations to other countries. Krums reputed to have Gruzaldo on his side, to have repeated compromises with other countries, and to have made it more national before. But that insistence is not well equipped, stockpiled or financially.

I have been wondering what I would do if I were to be sacrificed to the princess of such a country.

"... well, first regain credibility in the international community. Krums is in a position to be blamed for waging war on the Quartet. I'll concentrate on restoring that trust."

"For example?"

"For one thing, industry. Krums specialties are agriculture, grazing and textiles. Negotiating these directly with countries lacking them and entering into favourable trade agreements will restore the confidence of the other party"

"I see, when you get out poorly"

"As for pompous measures. But I guess you can't just be soft. I think we're gonna need some tough measures. I think that's why you called me."

――

To the way Alphilis answered, Ray fans remained silent for a while with a smile on their face. Alphilis had an idea, of course, but he was told to speak for himself. Did you read the intent of the alphilis after a while, Ray Fan looked at Nora slightly when he placed the cup in his hand.

"- It's okay, I don't think there's any kind of spy."

"Fine, you're right first. Let me now state my thoughts and formal requests. It is impossible to say no after hearing it. Are you sure?

"What if I say no?

"There will be a few unfortunate events around you."

"Hmm, did you come with the surroundings, not me? Well, that's effective as a threat complaint. But don't worry. I'm going to be hungry more than I've ever been this far in such a disgusting way."

"Then let me state. I'm not just hiring you as an escort. The next Continental Peace Conference - peace will be the battle on the table of fame, but I'd like to hire you as my on-the-spot staff."

Ray Fan's request was slightly above what Alphilis had imagined. Lend me wisdom, I thought about it enough, but I didn't expect to be told to be a wisdom bag itself.

Alphilis asked carefully.

"Staff? This was bought again, wasn't it? I can't believe there's a princess asking mercenaries to staff her."

"Don't be modest. There are several reasons.

For one thing, it is very important that you are a woman. If the escort is also with a man, you can't make him refrain in the bedroom. Some of my trusted men are as handsome women as this Nora, but not as numerous. It would be a great advantage if you had a mercenary regiment of yours with a large number of women enrolled in it.

No, if I were to place escorts in His Highness's camp, I would automatically be able to work with His Highness's camp as well. This is one reason to hire you, the mercenary, as an escort. "

- Go on.

"Secondly, numerous weddings will be applied to me at the next Continental Peace Conference. Of course, the majority will be in political marriages, but in view of the circumstances of Krums, it is likely that a large number of proposals will be applied for which it is considered advisable to receive them.

But no matter how appealing I am at the moment, I am totally unwilling to take the offer of marriage. Because Krums cannot be independent at a time when national power is at stake today, and he is not going to be an instrument of the great powers. By the way, if they apply for a wedding, do you know how to say no?

"No."

"You just have to behave so disrespectfully that they sign up for a duel. That's right, sprinkle the freshly brewed tea on your face and say," Oh, fuck you, you dickhead. "

Alphilis accidentally blew out tea as Ray fans threw up a nasty decision dialogue with a smile on his face. In the back, Nora has her head.

"Dear Rayfan, I told you not to use such nasty language"

"That's the word you taught me, Nora? Well, the earlier words are half a joke, and if the story becomes parallel, it is one more cliché in the aristocracy than in ancient times to escort each other to decide things in a duel. There will be a unified martial arts tournament for you, and if you win by competing in your own contest, you will have fewer opponents who speak naturally and impossibly."

"Mm, mmm. You're like that."

"The aristocratic world is barbaric for what it is. The third is intelligence warfare. I'm confident in my information network, too, but just not completely. At the next meeting, there are two strong enemies. You need to win them in intelligence, can you imagine where they are?

"... you're not Romansland. I don't see Romansland putting so much effort into intelligence. We'll be able to give it to the do-it-yourself at the next meeting, and I don't think it's going to be a big enemy on the table. So, I don't know one thing, but one is Arnelia, right?

Ray fans smiled at Alphilis' bold suggestion.
