Eleven years ago. At that time, the empire was fiercely fighting with the kingdom of Perlan to the west. Meanwhile, the Soukal Empire to the east invades and destroys the Dwarf nation adjacent to the Empire. Many dwarves fled to the empire, and some of the royal family were protected by the empire. However, the Soukal Empire, which was aiming for the skills of the dwarves beyond the gold and silver treasures they had accumulated, protested and warned the Empire several times. The Empire responded, "It is impossible to prevent all the immigrants," but at last the paralyzed Soukal Emperor sent his son as ambassador.

"It's awkward."

Emperor Johannes nodded to the words of the Prime Minister, Franz. The three main continents are the Empire, the Kingdom of Perlan, and the Emperor Sokal. The empire is in the middle, sandwiched between the two countries. Imperial opposition to the Soukal Empire while preparing for the Perlan Kingdom was something the Empire absolutely wanted to avoid.

"Once you offer a protected dwarf, subcontinents throughout the continent will turn to your enemies. Of course, those who live in empires will not be at war with other nations." "Do you want to give it to the enemy?" "It's not necessarily. If you give the Sokol Empire something that is comparable to Dwarf's technique, you'll be tempted." "What should I give?" "The Sokal Empire is a magic power." However, the number of jewels that are essential for mage development is scarce, especially the giant ones that have stopped the development of magic weapons. "

Jewel is a general term for ores that store magical power. They also have the ability to store magical power, so they are valuable things that can be reused even if the magical power stored inside is used up. The amount that can be stored is proportional to the size, and the larger the thing, the higher the scarcity value.

"Do you want me to give me? I don't like it. Do you have to carry things down so weakly? Did the eagle just protect those who fled?" "Yes, so avoid frontal operations Fortunately, our country is not troubled with jewels, so it would be cheap if war could be avoided, we would not hand over mines, and we would not hurt our country. "

For more than a hundred years, the Empire has been digging jewels at mines in Japan to develop magical tools, and as a result, the amount of jewels being mined has decreased year by year. On the other hand, the Empire did not focus on mining jewels. You have a number of excellent mines. These two points did not hurt the jewel.

T r a n slat ed b y jpm t l .com "Do you want to feed and silence? I don't want to put any more burden on the army." "That's right. I'll give you a huge jewel and shut it down. The western front seems to be stalemate, It may be a hand to stop the war in the meantime. "" Do you do that? Well, because this is the dominant. Will the kingdom come in? "

That's when Johannes and Franz put together the story.

■■■

The day has come when Franz prepares a huge jewel and welcomes the ambassador. On that day, a girl was coming to the castle. Girl with cherry-colored hair. It was Elna, six years old. Curious Erna had too much time while her father was talking, and he noticed that he was away.

"that?"

Elna was in an unknown place. I look around a little, but there is no scenery I have seen. No doubt it is a castle. Elna steps forward asking someone to ask. Then I found a small hole in the castle wall. It's big enough for a small child. Hidden in the vegetation, it looked like an air vent, but it was somehow well-maintained, like an entrance to a secret base. Curiously tickled Elna crouches down and breaks into the vent. After going through the darkness for a while, I arrived at the dark room. The closed room was illuminated by a faint glow, and Elna soon realized that this was a treasure house.

"Wow……"

It was much larger than the treasure house owned by the valor, and various things were placed there. And Elna found the first thing. T rans la ted b y Jp m tl.c o m

"Magic sword!"

A sword with attribute magic like fire or wind. Moreover, what was placed in the treasure house was not a modern one, but an ancient one. Elna grabs one and pulls it out of the sheath. Elna is fascinated by her brightness and sharpness. And try to shake it several times.

"Well! Good sword!"

A sword that is too long for a child, Elna, but she is the daughter of a valor. I could handle it without difficulty with my own physical ability. Erna, who was so fond of the sword's performance that she could just stick to her hand, began to play the sword pattern from a trial. It's a large treasure trove. What kind of situation would happen if you make a violent mold where many valuables are placed? Erna, who was good at her, did not think.

"Ah……"

A sword swinging sideways catches a box covered with cloth. The box was cut in half by Elna's sharp slashing. Moreover, the magical power emitted from the box breaks the magic tool that was illuminating the treasure chest, and the light goes out. In the darkness, he heard a squealing noise, and Elna's heart was chilling. After a while, Elna's eyes become accustomed to the darkness. At first glance, there were two giant jewels beyond the head of the person in the box. I knocked down the treasure house. Elna was upset by the fact that he managed to lift the top half of the jewel and stick it together, but it was cut clean and it could not be recovered. After a while, Elna cryed out of helplessness and anxiety.

"Uh ... Uh ... Hi ...... Dad ..." "Yeah, is there anyone? Or is it really dark?"

Meanwhile, a boy came in from the vent through which Elna passed. Black hair and black eyes. Arnold was seven years old. There was a customer in a treasure house that was always used as a hideaway. Al was surprised at the darkness, but soon realized that Elna was crying.

“Are you crying?” “Uh …… Gus…”

Al, who is blind at night, has no idea what the characteristics of the person in the dark are. I just knew she was a girl of the same age. Al was groping, but soon realized that something had broken.

"It's gaudy ... this is a gem of rumors" "Hogyo, ku ...?" "Ah, it seems to be a present to the ambassador" "Taita, ......... um ..." "Uh!" Don't cry, we won't cry!

It was a word to calm a crying girl. I thought it would be troublesome if I could cry any more. But things change.

"Here. Ambassador."

It was the voice of the emperor. Al was confused for a moment, but immediately understood the situation and sent Erna to the vent.

Tra ns lat ed b y jpmtl.c om "Get out fast! Hurry up!" "But ..." "It's good!"

Although young, Al knew the situation was very serious. The emperor came here to show the jewel to the ambassador. The emperor is determined to be furious if broken. The prince still has no idea what the punishment will be if he knows that the child is not. Considering the worst, Al escaped Elna immediately. And when Elna came near the vent, the treasure chest door opened. Al sighed in the upcoming event, and inhaled deeply, determined to prepare.

"This is Japan's treasure trove. The jewel is ...?" "Sorry! Father! I've broken it!"

Al as soon as he apologizes, Al bows down to the emperor who has not swallowed the situation. Emperor and ambassador. And everyone who was around me couldn't swallow the situation for a moment. There was a prince in a treasure house that should have been tightly closed, and a jewel was split in two beside the prince. No one spoke. He had no courage to say anything before the emperor. It was not just words. No one could see the emperor's face. The emperor slowly approaches Al.

"Are you really done? Arnold" "Yes ..." "Is it true?" "Yes, it is true"

Al raises his face and answers. So only Al knew that the emperor had a complicated expression. The emperor breathes slowly when he closes his eyes a little. And. The dry sound of the bread echoed.

"This is a big idiot! This jewel is a sign of friendship between the Empire and the Empire! What is breaking it ?! You have no awareness as a prince!" "

He holds his cheeks with so much pain, Al tears. But he did not cry. I thought I shouldn't cry. Al knew. That Elna hasn't gone out yet. So Al does not cry. I felt like I would come back if I cry. Elna, on the other hand, saw her beaten, and she was shedding more tears. I don't know what to do, and I struggle to be honest. However, the emperor's wrath echoes to scare such Elna.

"Who are you! Put this idiot son in jail! Don't put it out for a week! I don't want to see your face!" "... Sorry ..."

Al just apologizes and does not defend. Elna, who had just watched Al being taken away, realized that she could no longer do her own thing and ran out of her vents. And crying, she ran through the castle, and Elna finally found her father, the Duke.

"Erna. Where have you been?" "Father! Father! Prince! Prince!" "Wait wait. Calm down. Talk calmly."

Elna, told by her father, shed big tears and explained the matter. Watching his father's expression gradually cloud his face, Elna's heart was filled with anxiety.
