Chapter 154

“… … Well. Until the breakup?”

It was quite a powerful tone for coming at an early hour before the sun rose.

“Have you not heard the details from the Marquis?”

“It’s embarrassing that he did it without a word of advice, but that’s what he was originally. I saw you asking what the intention was. They say it literally means.”

While the attendant was combing her hair, Shilin read a report full of fine print and spoke.

“It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but even if I did, I was going to put it off a bit like watching the abduction. Right now, the benefits of being involved with Aindar Locke are greater.”

“that… … . I think it’s dangerous. Because I don’t think anyone seriously supports Prince Vector.”

“okay. He’s not stupid either, so he should know that much. I don’t want to take the risk, I guess that’s what it means.”

Hera was uneasy.

because there is no basis for it.

In the episode, it was only told to do it to save Rockstrin, but it is difficult to convince Shilyn.

Even in her own opinion, breaking off the engagement would only diminish the status of Yuxilla that had been secured so far.

If you run into trouble, then you just have to prove your innocence and break up with Aindarlock… … .

That’s what you should have been thinking.

“Then shall we do so?”

“yes?”

“Why don’t you break off the marriage?”

Shilin was surprisingly not worried.

“Doesn’t your mother think so?”

“Are you anxious?”

“… … yes.”

After laughing once, Shilin called the attendant who was brushing her hair again and told her to break the engagement.

“I thought it was right to stop expanding soon, and I didn’t think it would last long from the beginning. I’ve already done most of what I can do by borrowing the Aindarok name. Like the trade routes opened to Mash.”

“I’m sorry. By coercion.”

“I don’t always think I am right.”

Hira bowed her head.

Shilin got up from his seat and gently pulled Hira’s head and hugged him.

“Seeing that you came at this time, you must have thought deeply. Whether it was a hasty decision or a wise move, we will know later. Discipline is useless.”

After less than a year, the engagement was announced.

Yuxilla’s position would not change, but it was also clear that the reputation of Shilin Yuxilla would be undermined.

Enduring all of that and accepting the request was, after all, only the result of relying on her mother’s warmth.

This is the exact opposite of what Shilin has been teaching.

“Sometimes I think about it. It’s because I couldn’t find the right partner at this age. Could it be that the emotional aspect was too lacking?”

“I always want to be like my mother.”

“It means to be half-like. With a guy like Rockstrin next to me, I’m already at a loss.”

After gently brushing her hair a few times, Shilin smiled and pushed Hira on the back. I can see that my hands have lost their way from earlier and are flustered.

“Are you busy? I’ll make my position clear, so don’t worry and go.”

“… … yes.”

“take care.”

After Hira, who was pushed back, left the office.

“I’ve become a fool for suggesting the best.”

“Your mind has changed.”

A low voice leaked from inside. Shilin glared at him with narrow eyes.

“In the first place, I have no interest in playing soldiers, Tipol. It’s embarrassing to begin with, but I don’t think there’s a need to tell my daughter not to do it.”

“I’m sorry.”

Marquis of Tipol.

As the representative of the forces of First Princess Tania von Longert, he had already been in Silin’s office before Hira arrived.

The pale face that cast a deep shadow revealed regret.

“I thought you would be ambitious. It was a small person.”

“I want to build a nice castle, but building on sand is not allowed. I have no intention of interfering with that, so it would be nice if you just treat me like someone who doesn’t exist.”

“I gave it a chance. Withdraw the breakup and support Vector… … .”

“Anyway, men are obsessive. because you don’t need you guys deserve to live I have room to worry about that. Who knows who the emperor is.”

Shilin waved his hand as if it were annoying. Tipol also didn’t have much regret. Since he said he would not interfere, Yuxilla would indeed be absent from this incident.

Shilin was a difficult existence even from Tipol’s point of view. There was nothing more I could have wished for if he had stayed still.

“I’ll give you some advice.”

“I will pretend to hear.”

“If Tane ascends the throne, Rongrud will no longer be Rongrrt.”

“It’s fun. go away.”

“I will.”

Tipol shrugged and left the office. It was only after confirming that the sound of footsteps had gone far away that Silin sat down on the sofa.

“Treason… … .”

My head is pounding.

I pretended nothing was wrong and said I wouldn’t get involved. It’s not like you don’t have to think.

Tipol said that Mad, the court mage under the command of First Prince Tane, and others are plotting treason.

Compared to a vague guess, hearing an affirmation is a different story.

‘That guy must have known.’

rocktrin.

This time, too, he saw through the future. Of course, that in itself is not that surprising.

Judging from Emperor Gawil’s attitude, Shilin also shows that he maintains a close relationship with the child.

Isn’t the reason why he insisted on postponing the installation of the crown prince for several years, because he was waiting for the child to turn 18? It’s a public fact.

Even so, the forces of Tain were not showing any clear resistance other than urging the installation, so I was puzzled from the beginning.

yeah i noticed

What matters is the next action.

‘Suddenly support Vector?’

It is said that an angular stone is right, but I have never seen an idiot who voluntarily protrudes forward and turns into an angular stone.

Both Coltman and Lockstrin attended the banquet, so the discussion between the father and son must have ended.

There could have been many better ways to stop the treason… … . While thinking about it, Shilin suddenly felt chills running down his spine.

‘no.’

I’m not trying to stop you.

It’s not even about making Vector emperor. What are you doing, Aindarlock?

‘They will… … ?’

Hira’s judgment was correct.

If I had missed the time while evasive, I would have gone to the point of no return no matter how much I did.

After this morning, there will be no regular meeting for two weeks. There is no time to express one’s opinion, so there is no choice but to be questioned because of this grace period.

“It’s meeting time. dismissal.”

“… … okay.”

Destiny changed in tens of minutes. This is something that is difficult to convey even by letter, so I thought I would tell it in person when Hira returned.

Again, you saved Yuxilla.

* * *

Wooden Hill, a large city in the Tipole region.

It was the first city you came across when moving along the Guando in Jedo.

This big city, famous for the liquor of the Tipool region, always feels full of energy.

It was good to arrive here quickly in the imperial carriage.

“Look for him in this vast place… … ?”

The child murmured dumbfounded.

In terms of the size of the land mass, the tipolyeong is not that big. Compared to Aindarroch in the north or Berry in the south, it feels like it’s stuck in between.

However, most of them are made up of densely populated cities, as the trade route of the four countries leading to Mashu, Liden, and Enpyrian crosses.

In the meantime, you need to find someone.

“Since he is a person who stands out, I have no choice but to inquire about him.”

Hirado was confused about everything.

The episode did not reveal the exact location of Euril Mashuhma.

I don’t know why she, the princess of Mash, is staying at an inn in the Tipol Territory, and I don’t know where she is going.

“Why do you need him?”

Fundamental questions cannot be resolved.

As a child, it also served as a personal dissatisfaction. The reason why he entered Summer Turge to escape the chaos of his own country had nothing to do with himself, but Auril had a history of hurting Rockstrin anyway.

He went to see Frid and made a fuss about Rox’s death, but that would be taken into account.

“Even if we meet, going back together is the problem.”

Hira pointed out a practical problem.

I couldn’t ride the same wagon as Auril. It is because her circumstances are usually noticed at the time of admission. A cursed princess who freezes when touched.

“Come to think of it, it’s strange that such a person is staying at an ordinary inn.”

“I think we should ask people directly.”

The pure white horse-drawn carriage that informs that it belongs to the imperial family definitely attracts attention.

But as they pass through the city, they do not bow their heads in courtesy. Because there is no escort.

“what?”

“Isn’t it your Highness the Princess?”

“Does it seem right?”

“Quickly lower your head!”

A series of embarrassing reactions followed when I stopped the horse-drawn carriage on the way and jumped out.

Who would have known that Ai-nim, the princess, would jump off a carriage without an escort?

“you.”

“Wow, meet Her Highness the Princess!”

“Are you still selling things here?”

“sorry! I’m leaving right now… … .”

“No, not that. Have you ever seen a silver-haired woman?”

“Mo, I don’t know.”

“okay.”

Ainim caught a vendor at a fruit stall and asked. The merchant shook his head.

After putting a silver coin on the shelf, Ai-nim picked up two green apples.

“… … Shall I?”

“I think that would be fine. Apples are delicious.”

“I’ll have to look for more luxurious inns.”

There is no end to the questioning of passers-by one by one. Hira mainly searched for inns that nobles used to come and go.

I walked around for about two hours, but it was all in vain.

“It seems to be in another city.”

“It’s a problem to cross paths in the middle.”

“I’ll look for some more until the sun goes down.”

People who are usually good to inquire about are the street vendors who always keep the same seats.

They’ll be out of business when the sun goes down, so I thought I’d keep looking until then.

However, it is also seldom outlined. At that time, Ai-nim pointed somewhere and said.

“How is it?”

“That’s because it’s a pub. I don’t think anyone like a princess would have stopped by… … .”

“Mmm.”

Ai-nim, after thinking about it for a while, finally opened the door to the bar and entered as he was attracted.

It’s a little early, but the sturdy workers who finished the work were drinking beer loudly.

“Come on… … ?”

The wide-eyed owner hurriedly bowed. However, even in Wooden Hill, he had a lot of bones, and he had a good understanding of dealing with high-ranking people.

“I am looking for someone.”

“You just speak.”

“Has there ever been a woman with silver hair here?”

“There is not.”

That would be a natural result. The child sighed. Why did I feel that way?

It felt like something was flashing in my head. Even thinking that there was no way that a country’s princess would have stopped by at a bar like this.

“Lord Rockstrin has stopped by… … .”

“when?”

The child who was about to turn around immediately turned away. Even in front of the princess, the owner calmly replied.

“It was last winter. They came and had a roast pork shoulder, and I even served them a beer.”

“Were you alone?”

“There was one person in the group… … . I don’t know, because the whole body is wrapped in clothes.”

“That’s enough!”

Aini immediately ran out of the tavern.

It’s Auril.

Last winter, Roxtrin and Auril traveled to Mash. It was all the more Auril because he said he was wrapped up in clothes.

“Did you find out something?”

“yes. It may sound strange.”

“Please speak.”

To Hira, who was waiting outside, Ai-sama spoke calmly.

“Let’s wait here.”

“yes? waiting… … .”

“He said he came with Rocks. It’s dangerous to try to find it by force. I can definitely meet you if you stay here.”

Ai was sure.

Auril said he would come here.
