The Strongest Dull Prince's Secret Battle for the Throne

I was thinking a lot before going to Erna. How do I ask? What to do if rejected My head gets messy. Eventually, my thoughts came to an end and I ended up at the residence of the valor. I was greeted to return as usual, and I entered the residence of the valor.

"Al. What's wrong?" "Erna ..."

It was Erna who was greeted. I wish Anna was the best. Honestly, I can't see Erna's face. However, such an unnatural attitude could not be overlooked by this childhood friend.

"What happened?" "No ..." "It's useless to be deceived. Let's go to the room anyway."

With that said, I was guided by Elna and headed to the guest room. Tea and sweets prepared by the maids. Elna sees it and pays for it. And as soon as I sat in a chair facing me, I got into the subject.

"I'll ask you again, but what happened?" "... It's awkward." "Yes, do I need it?"

I nod without looking at my face. How to ask. But I couldn't see Erna's face. What kind of face should I ask for? My mission is to fight for the throne, after all. I can't say I'm going to stop now because my father needs an evaluation. That's it. I'm balancing my sister's security against the throne. And since they couldn't choose either, he came to Elna for a bold attempt to win. Gomiya is a woman's world. An escort is a woman. That's why, but it's not fundamental. I don't want to end the tailwind that has begun to flow to us. Father is looking at us favorably. I do not want to cut this flow. But he cannot abandon Christa. I can't choose. So clinging to Erna. I'm too sad to see Erna's face. Nevertheless.

"I understand. Then I have to tell the Emperor to decline." "Huh? Is it okay ...?" "What?" Tr ansla te d by Jp ｍt l .c oｍ

I raise my face unintentionally to the simple answer. Then there was Erna's face as usual. It doesn't matter. It was written on Erna's face.

"Because it's a disgrace to decline ..." "It's not a disgrace, but I need it? I can't help it." "... I came to my sister Leaving the Imperial City for a marriage affair, to prioritize the dispute over the Empire, give priority to a marriage affair, do you rely on you? " "I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'll cooperate if necessary." "Why ..." "I didn't say. I won't forsake Al. You've noticed? You have a very difficult face from a while ago. I don't know what happened, but I do need it, then I'll decline my job, because I have something to do with Al, I can only leave it to me.

Elna tells her in an open mind. It's not that easy. If so, don't feel so guilty. It's important that Elna, the daughter of the royal family and knight of the Guard, declines the mission. Of course, my father will not be forced. The royal family who can use the sacred sword is precious and the emperor wants to avoid deteriorating his relationship with the royal family. But it's definitely a defamation.

"Isn't honor important to you?" "It's important, but my oath is much more important than my honor. I'll go anywhere if you need it. What should I do? "

Erna smiled unusually soft. The smile pierces my heart. But I can't stop feeling guilty forever.

"... Christa can use magic innately. It's a prediction of the future." "... I'm surprised. Did you hide it well to this day?" "It was three years ago. Since then, I've guessed or lost the future, but it's pretty much about myself. "" This is the pattern. "" Oh. Do you remember Rita, the girl who played with Leo? " "Is that child involved?" "... Crysta says he dies. In front of Christa."

Elna expressed a steep expression in my words. Christa basically doesn't leave the castle or the shrine. The fact that Christa gets involved means that somebody from the castle or the shrine is involved. In that sense, it is advantageous for Elna, the highest aristocrat of the royal family, to be escorted. If anyone tries to do so, there are very few who can do so. T ra ns lat ed by Jpｍ tl.c o m

"Do you want to escort Christa by your side? That will help protect Rita." "Oh ... I know only a limited number of Christa's future prospects. I don't even know my father. "I'm okay. The next mission is near a big lake." "... That's true?" "I tell the Emperor that I'm not good at water, so it doesn't matter. "Shall I? That's it ... but your weakness leaks around? Is it okay? Did you hate that much before?" "I don't even like it now. You'll be laughing that your daughter from the house is afraid of the water. "" Now ... "" But it's more important than that to make an oath. Are you in trouble without me? Anyway I'll help you were? Would'm in trouble you? Really did come from no. Words only of the oath 's what meaning there is no thing. I'm not a woman of only mouth "

Then Elna rises and comes to me. And gently add my forehead to my forehead. I am surprised at the sudden action, but Elna quietly tells.

"I'll be safe. I'm okay. I'll protect everything Al wants to protect. Don't spill anything from Al's hand. I'll give you a hand together. "Don't do it." "I want to protect Christo's Highness." "I don't want that child to feel sorry anymore. When he died, he looked like a shell. I'm finally laughing ... I ask my sister ... Crysta. I can only ask you ... "" Leave us. The power of I'm sorry. "

Erna takes a step back. And she showed a lively smile. I've seen that smile before. When I first met, she smiled and told me I would protect it. Really. This guy hasn't changed much. Erna has always been with me.

"Al brother! I don't want to go ..." "Krista. Don't bother Al."

Eventually, Elna declined the mission because of the large lake. He honestly confessed to his father that he had been poor at water for a long time. Because I and Leo were there, I forced myself and took on the duty of the ambassador, but with a plausible reason that I knew it was going to hinder my duty. Even so, my father nodded, and another guard knight was dispatched as a mission. And then she wanted her father to be her escort. If you want to hear the story of your sons, give them a plausible reason. And my father allowed it. Perhaps it was a good vacation for Erna too. So I was telling my mother and Christa to leave the Imperial City.

"Erna will give you an escort." "I don't want to be near Al brother ..." "... Crysta. Do you trust me?" "Yeah ..." "Yes"

I am wondering what to do while stroking Christa's hugging head. Christa will not trust Elna even if she is forced out here. Well, I don't mind, but hopefully trust Elna. So I uttered what I thought.

"I'll put the best sword I trust the most," "Sword ...?" "Oh, the continent's best sword. It will protect you from any opponent. "If you're kind, call me instead of my name. I'll always rush." "But ..." "Isn't it? I'm the sword I trust most?" He's protected me many times. "Well," I'm a good boy. I'm fine. Erna will protect you and Rita. "

With that said, I squeeze Christa tight and return. Elna stood there.

"Ask my sister" "Please leave me"

After a short exchange, I started walking straight. I don't look back anymore. There is no worry.
