The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

33 Lesson 33: The King For You

I was looking at the sky blurry in my own room. I really don't even feel like sleeping from the back of my brain with the words your father told me repeatedly.

I think back on my life so far.... Think about it, how much did you pick out for yourself in your life?

The status of fiancée of Master Algard, as well as the praise of an excellent Duke's Lady. You must have been talented indeed. I've also made an effort just to be worthy of admiration. Was my will there...? Honestly, you can't put your chest up.

I guess I did because they wanted me to, if they told me. I can't deny it. That was just it. That's all I've got, so maybe I couldn't do anything.

It was easy to follow. To be shown the way is just to move towards the goal. I could do that. I guess that's why I've lived a life that just glimpses the path and goals I've been given. No worries, no confusion, no doubts.

"... what I want to choose"

That's what comes to mind in this chest. Close your eyes and you'll see Master Anis' face. The fact that you smiled at me, the face that laughed naturally, the face that plotted something. I can remember the expression that froze my emotions and the crying face that was going to disappear.

That's all I've seen of that guy. I've come to see that guy who gave me just one hand in a place where only one was cornered. I can't name the emotions that were born in this chest yet. I just can't ignore this thought anymore.

"... I am"

Look up at the moon. Today is a strong golden moon, and that reminds me of Anis' hair color.

Reaching out won't reach the moon. Why do you still want to reach out? Hands on the moon, gripping to grasp the moon.

"... to be king, want to be"

For that guy who's nobody, and for himself. To be myself.

What I've piled up so far overlaps with the ideals I wish for right now. This is for your country. And I hope my will is for that man.

I want it. I thought so. First time from the bottom of my heart. I want that seat. I have a position where I can protect someone. We don't stop looking so much for the throne, which is the pinnacle of this country.

Like making noises in me so that the gear meshes and something fits in. To such a sense of reality I closed my eyes and gently pressed my hand against my chest. As I pray for the future to come.

Please, this choice. That this path I choose is not the path to fulfilling my wishes.

It would be a little noisy if you went back to the outhouse. But that seems like the usual noise. Master Anis jokes, Ilia goes in to stop him. I guess the noise is increasing these days because Raini is starting to join us.

To the extent that makes me feel comfortable somehow, I guess I've been poisoned, too. The noise you hear calms your mind. With a slight smile I head to the room where everyone is.

"Gibb gibb......! My arm, my arm breaks......!

"Yes, Master Ilia, not too much for a boulder..."

"It's okay, to this extent"

"Not good! The princess's luxurious arms will look adorable!?"

"Ha... luxury, is it"

"How can you help!? Okay, sorry, sorry! Reflect!! Please forgive me!!"

Usual hustle and noise. I knock on the door even though I almost laugh at it. It was Raini who opened the door for me. Raini greeted me with a slightly troubled face.

"Good day, Master Uphilia"

"We're back, Raini.... Again?

"Yes, again"

I also smile back at Raini, who smiles bitterly. And, oh? I was made a Raini face that Was I looking so weird?

But there are things that need to be prioritized over that now. I will walk over to Master Anis, who is still twisted in the arm by Ilia.

"Dear Anis,"

"I was just there!? Oh, welcome home Ufi......! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Because I'm not kidding!

"That's an odd encounter. I'm not joking either."

"Ilia, get him there. I need to talk to you."

We go into arbitration, remembering the smile on the two's usual interactions. Ilia looks surprised, but she let Lady Anis go because I said so. Master Anis is stroking his arms with tears.

"There he is... you're just kidding..."

"Something?

"No, nothing! So, Uffi? What's the story?

Lady Anis smiles like she's been re-minded. I feel my mouth loose naturally on the smile I've seen many times.

I'm sure I won't regret making this choice. Such certainty came to my mind naturally.

Because Yufi wanted to talk, it was going to be a long story, so I asked Ilia to prepare some tea. I haven't had this time in a long time and my mind is relieved because I've been in a rush of days lately because it's just a business meeting.

And you're talking about it, right? Lately, Yufi has often looked like she thought. I wonder how shocked I was about Al. After that, you feel responsible for me having to take over the throne?

Well, there's nothing wrong with Yufi about that. I can't say that Yufi wasn't at fault, but it's only natural that the nature of Raini's unconscious vampire and the stubbornness between me and Al can't be solved by herself.

But I was wondering how I could encourage them to do good things, too, but when I got home, I wondered if I felt any different. As far as I'm concerned, I'd appreciate it.

"So, what's the story?

"Yes, I would like to discuss the future with Mr. Anise."

"The future, huh?"

I don't know about the future. Honestly, I think Yufi is floating in the universe right now. No, you mean I did that intentionally. Right now, I don't have time to get my hands on the study of magic. Then Yufi, who keeps him as an assistant, will have nothing to do.

It's just that Yufi had a lot going on. I admit I didn't dare wave my job because I thought I was accumulating hard work. But if you want to actively consult with Yufi, I think you have to think about her future.

Originally, if I were to be king, Yufi would be prime minister. Honestly, it's a strange story that there's no Uffi beside me for getting into politics. If Yufi wants to, will he be involved in government affairs with us in the future? That's comforting, though.

"I found what I wanted to do."

Things I want to do. Yufi's eyes said so firmly forward. He's a strong eye with a will he didn't see these days.

When would have been the first time I saw this eye of Yufi. I guess it was when I heard you were Al's fiancée and said hello. I guess I was relieved in these eyes that you knew about me but you didn't scare me.

Although it often clouded or lay low from Al-Kun's fiancée-breaking disturbances, there was no shade in Yufi's eyes as to whether there had been any change in his mood.

"If Uffi finds out what he wants to do, it's more than that. Now, I couldn't go on studying magic either. You don't mind if I focus on you?

"No, your cooperation will be essential to what I want to do. So I wanted to talk to you in advance."

"My cooperation?

Well, what is it? I don't know what to do with Yuffi, even though she says she's willing to cooperate with me.

"Yes, I must ask Anise herself to help me, and I would like to ask Her Majesty and the Queen to help me in my conversation."

"Is that what I have to talk to you and your mother about?

That, again. You're about to do something very big, aren't you, Yufi? What, some kind of new state business or something? Sure, if you're Yufi, you can have one or two of the bills. It is.

But I still don't see why I'm pinched there. Because you're the next king? Well, if you're going to do some state business, you should talk to me first...

"Can you help me?

"I wonder if it depends on the content. What are you going to do?

"Of the Spirit covenant, its clarification."

"... spiritual covenant?

"Yes, I would like you to help me become a contractor myself."

Spirit Contract! I can't believe Uffi wants to be a contractor. It's a little surprising, but given Yuffi's magical talent, he might be able to reach it. And if you become a spiritual contractor, you can gain enough standing to be protected and welcomed by the state.

"Why are you suddenly again?

"I want merit."

"... feat?

"Yes."

"For what?

Why would Yuffi want merit? I'm losing my mind. I wonder what Uffi's thinking?

"Before you answer, please allow me to ask you disrespectfully. Princess Anisphere."

"... what is it?

I dare you to call the princess and me with some intent. I correct my posture.

Uffi turns off his grin and looks straight at me. Feeling nature and heightened tension, Raini, who had refrained, is behaving suspiciously.

"Do you think you will be king and that your reign will work?

…………

I think I put a sinister face to Yufi's question.... the answer to that question is settled.

"I don't think I can do it at first, and if I can unite, there's only dictatorship. It takes time to make this country accept the new concept of me. And after taking the time, the country only distorts for what it took. Of course, that's why I don't want a stable reign because I think dictatorship will distort the country."

I can't use magic. There is an absolute lack of talent required as royalty in this country.

Even politics is not confident. I'm not here with a decent education in the first place, and my connection to nobility is weak. Honestly, I'd hold my head by now if I didn't have a hand tag named Yufi.

My strength, magic, is also confident that it can be infiltrated if spread. But that leads to the destruction of the order that is now in place. It's convenient, so you can't spread the word. Because that's the only strength I have, I think I have to be prepared to push for distortion no matter what.

I think that's my limit as king. I cannot rule my country until I destroy the current order. It would be the people of this country and future generations of historical researchers who would judge whether that was good or bad.

"Still have to do it. Without a leader named King, the country would be lost."

"Especially you."

"Yeah. Well, it could be hard on Uffi there..."

"No, I'm going to have a hard time with Anis, too, so I'm going to have to be your son."

"Thanks.... So, does that question have anything to do with wanting merit?

Return to the story. After all, what does Uffi want to find merit in order to unravel his spiritual contract?

"Yes.... Dear Anis"

"Yeah."

"I want that crown to be mine.... Speaking of which, will you be surprised?

You want the crown to belong to me? Um, I mean, what? Does that mean you want a crown?

I mean, that's what you want the crown for?... Huh? No, no, I mean that.......... Yes?

"... what?

"I want to be king."

"Haaaa!?"

"Yeah, yeah, eh!?"

Me and Raini's surprising voices overlap and even Ilia cracks open her mouth and disorients.

Yufi is laughing like a child who has succeeded in amazing our reaction.

"Oh, to be king... Uffi has no right to inherit the throne!? Huh!? Declaration of usurpation!? He wants to make a spiritual covenant, he wants to drain the royal family!?"

"No, I'm not. I want legitimacy."

"Legitimacy... you mean the feat you want to earn by making spiritual covenants?...... ah!?"

"Yes. The spiritual covenant is a feat accomplished by the first king of the Kingdom of Palletia. This is why I have the right to inherit the throne by embodying it."

"Wait, wait!... No, wait! That's not enough, not enough at all! Even Yufi isn't an idiot who doesn't know that!?"

"Yes. I am not a royal person. But the blood of the royal family runs remotely in my Duke of Magenta house. I don't think there's any justification for lineage at all."

"No, I do...!

"I want His Majesty to adopt me with that feat. And I want to give you the right to inherit the throne.... this is all we can do, can we line up?

"Adoption..."

I can't keep up with my brain's understanding of sudden declarations. So you're saying that Uffi wants to join the royal family by gaining legitimacy that I don't have? So you get the right to inherit the throne, aim for the throne?

I can't understand it by saying it myself so far. It's certainly more than possible, if not impossible. Whatever it is, I am now alone without Al Kun, who was an opposing horse. But I have no magical talent, so I don't have a good reputation from the nobles.

What if Uffi got a legitimate right to inherit the throne there and went up on the surface stage?... It's not like there isn't. Uffi was originally educated to come to the royal family as his daughter-in-law. If you use your abilities, it's certainly not an unlikely story. No, I don't!

"... who blew in? Talk like that."

"Dear Anis,"

"I did say I didn't want to be king! But that's not why I want to crack the country! Uffi is certainly close to getting legitimacy now. But that's not perfect either! It's not like when I was with Al!

Even if you fight for the throne, the terms are different between me, Al, and me and Ufi.

Because I had unilaterally given way to Al-Kun, there was no faction I could have, and Al-Kun prevailed. And I thought that was desirable. Because Al also had legitimacy.

But it's not the same story when the other person is Ufi. Uffi stands for the capture of the throne. No matter how many adopted, she was originally the daughter of the Duke of Magenta family. That pulls my leg. So take charge of me or take charge of Uffi. Which is better, the terms of which are five fifths in my view.

"It's not an easy story! The whole story went so well that you won the right to inherit the throne, you'll never come above me! And what would the Duke of Magenta do to come to the throne with his adopted son?"

My father told me to cut off my blood.

"What do you think Lord Grants is thinking too!? Lord Grants blew in!? Let me restore my right to inherit the throne!?"

What the hell, that guy! No, I don't even know! No, I still don't know! What are you thinking!? No, I can't keep up with my understanding at all......!

Isn't that a embarrassment to stop thinking like that to push me!?

"My father is pushing Master Anis. Don't think I'll get support if I'm adopted and I get the right to inherit the throne."

"No, no... no, no!? Why did we talk about that?!?"

"I don't want to make Lord Anis king."

Yuffi looks me straight in the eye and tells me. The strength of that will never wavers.... I mean it. This kid really doesn't want me to be king.

"... why? I know I don't deserve it. I said cry. But then I don't know why Yuffi would want to be king."

"... not because of you. This is my fault."

"My best," he said?

"I will not let you be king. You don't have to sit on the throne until you freeze your heart. I just have to let that happen. That's what I thought."

"Huh, don't tell me you're going to be king with your personal feelings!

"Who lamented that he didn't want to be king because of his personal feelings?

Ugh...! Hey, it hurts...!

"So, but I can't believe I want to be king for that reason! You can't admit it!?"

"Then I can't admit I don't want to be king for that reason, either, like Master Anis."

"It's not the same!?"

"I mean, it weighs the same. Besides, if you're going to take over the reign from His Majesty Orphanth, I'm more confident that you can calm me down. I'll show you the legitimacy of blood, too. I will prove to you that the royal blood that flows through you will never fade."

"Huh... Ufi!

"- If I were to be king! Your dreams come true!

Uffi roughed up his voice for the first time.

It was just a cry of temper, but the core of my body seemed to shake for the first drink I heard.

"I am good at fulfilling all the roles I have been given. Whether that's the queen or the queen, the weight doesn't change. Instead, without denying myself that I lived that way, I want to be king myself. If you have a dream ahead of you."

"My dream."

"The happiness of approaching the magical mystery and continuing to chase the magical props for the people. You can ask for it. No, I forgive you. If I were king, you would be a people too. And it will be a family. Then I want to forgive you. I dreamed it would enrich this country."

Uffi takes a seat and reaches out to me. I can only stare at that hand.

"I pledge to your side to help that reign, even if it does not come true. And if it comes true, protect your dreams and let them be seen together. It is my wish and desire that you be free. We should be able to hold hands together, not fight each other. So, Master Anis. Please take my hand. Now it's my turn."

Even if Uffi can't be king, he becomes a belly that helps politics.

If Uffi could be king. I'm... free, okay...?

Staring at Yuffi's hand as it was offered, I put that hand.

"-... huh?"

I wonder who leaked the voice. I don't know.

All I found out was the feel of my own hand playing Uffi's hand.

My breath hurts. I can't breathe and my vision seeps. No, you can't cry here.

I didn't know why I was crying, but I stood in the chair thinking I shouldn't show tears.

The body moves without consciousness. Just my body trying to get away from here.

"Ah, Dear Anis!!"

I wonder whose voice it was that called me from behind. I don't know. Nothing, I don't know.

All I knew was that I ran away. I couldn't think of anything else.
