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

62 Episode 58: Thoughts Of The Leading Duke

"Well, Annis is calm down too. Hey, you got a word from me about the throne, too?

It was Llumiel who waited until I settled in crying scattered and then cut out the subject so.

Attention was drawn to Llumiel, who cut out the topic, and it was up to her mother to tilt her neck.

"What is a word?

"It is the will of these children for Uffi to be king, and I don't mind if you are good. You don't have the right or the right to tell me anyway in the first place. Just one thing, this is the spiritual contractor's advice."

Father tightens his expression to the word advice. As the tension runs, Rhumiel breaks his face.

"I'm not talking about getting into that. But in the future, when it comes to the right to inherit the throne, it's going to be a lot easier, isn't it? I know you're going to have a problem with that, but what I'm going to say is about the future of Uffi and Anis."

"... ours?

"That's right. Do you realize how dependent you are on each other's existence?

Ugh. Why are we talking about that? If you look unwittingly disgusted, you flaunt your shoulders like Llumiel says you have no choice.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that you are pairs at the earliest. But we have a position, don't we? You can't say you didn't move to tear you apart in that position."

"Ha..."

Yufi replied carelessly, but I was afraid of my eyes. Um, you don't have to grab it, do you? Yufi? It hurts a little, doesn't it?

"There, I don't react like that doesn't matter. Yuffi may not care, but if he asks me if I'm going to imitate that around him, then I'm not, am I? But for you, it's a matter of life and death. At a time when Yufi prefers the magic of Anis, you are a Lotus of Trustees. If you want to defend that relationship, you have to strike your hand first."

"Hitting my hand...?

"It's not that hard. Tell them to publish your relationship properly."

"...... hahhhh!?"

What a public execution! I mean, me and Uffi, you know, we're dating, so we can officially announce this!?

"I don't mind that, but are we talking about pushing that far?

"I'll be fine!? I'll be fine!?"

"Anis shut up. Even if they think there's a gap between women in the first place, right? If you say so, it's your turn to acknowledge each other with your souls. Go ahead and tell your pop opponent there's no clearance to break in. From the beginning."

"... to the point of becoming"

Mmmmmmmm......! Oh, that's true......

I'm not going to be told either, and I think the guy who tells Uffi to get kicked by a horse. Then I suppose we'll make our relationship public first.

"... I thought that would happen, but then don't bother the next king"

"I figured I might be an adopted child... I can't say I can't make a precedent with Ufi..."

Ha, and Father and Mother sighed. Yes, yes, I'm sorry! Make it easy! It's me, it's me!

"You can make it, kid."

"... Yes?

... Llumiel, what did you say now? Am I losing my ear?

"So you inherited it, didn't you? You just have to make something else."

"... no, I don't have someone!?"

"No, you're here."

"... Could it be that I'm telling you to make it with Yufi!?"

"You have other options than that?

What are you talking about? You look like that, but you don't know what you're talking about when you say it from me, because it's Lumiel! See, everyone else looks just like me!? It's Lumiel who says things out of common sense!?

"Are you going to tell me that you can't have children because they're women or something like that?

"... Huh?

"Well, I'm sure it's a yes or no because it's hard to say it's a natural pregnancy, but it's not like there's no way, is there?

"Huh...?

"Well, if you say you can't be king unless you're born in the business of nature, you can adopt a son.... What, you don't like it?

"It's too sudden to catch up with my thoughts! Don't talk in your own common sense!

"... Master Anis can say that...?

Shut up, Raini! It's a matter of life and death for me! And I don't think it's because I like it and ignore or break common sense... it's not because...

...... I also think there is common sense to protect! Yes! I'm not saying it's convenient! This is a rounding choice, yes it is a rounding choice!!

"I mean, besides the business of men and women, does Master Rhumi know how to give you children?

"There are a few of them, right?

"A few!

There! Mrs. Nerschel, don't eat! Sit down, please, because I know very well that your desire for knowledge has been stimulated! Don't make your eyes sparkle!!

Or some!? I was fantasizing about this world more than I thought!? Like I want to hear it, I don't want to hear it...!!

"Then it's settled."

"Yeah, fix it."

"Huh!? Father, Mother, do you want to clap back there?"

"It will be an unprecedented succession to the throne in the first place. In addition, your magic will only be accepted with a wide heart, no matter what happens.... the rest of you will have given up your throne then!

"Awful! How irresponsible!

"It's not you who's irresponsible! After swinging around! Come on, think about sitting down!

Ugh, ugly...! can't argue...!

"But look, not if that's a foreign law or something!?!?"

"Really? I don't even think that's such a law?

"Llumiel, shut up!

"What, you don't like making kids with Uffi that much?

"Ya meh! Open the door and don't talk to me! It's a delicate story!?"

Mainly ethics, my heart, shame! It's delicate!?

As she was stuffing herself with Rhumiel's words, Yufi caught her from behind and held her tight. Guh, guh, my neck is squeezed......!

"Please calm down, Master Anis. I'm not talking about anything right now."

"Yu, Yufi......"

"I think even if I inherit the country, I should take a verdict on whether or not to leave my blood behind. So if you want to leave it, you just have to figure out what to do, and I think we should discuss in the country whether we should adopt a child. You don't have to decide anything between us, do you?

"... why is Yufi so calm..."

"That will be the mindset we need as kings. I know your majesty and queen will be worried too, but Master Anis is a beginner and cute person who is not immune to this hand story. Don't hunt him down too much."

"Dear Uphilia! You're stabbing me in the face!?"

Kill me! Kill me already!! Raini's scratch hurts my chest too!! Why do I have to be so humiliated! Return me, return me to the palace!! I'll take you to the cage already!! What did you know about the throne!!

"What. You don't have to worry about me, do you?

"Shut up! Whose fault do you think it is, Lumiel's idiot!!"

... This happened, but the issue of our right to inherit the throne was thus agreed between us.

Uffi will be adopted by his father and mother. And officially give the right to inherit the throne, and together announce the truth about the Spirit covenant. After the announcement, it was decided to take the verdict of the nobles once again.

Depending on the outcome, it will change again, but by all means, Uphilia will move to become king.

It's good that the conversation was wrapped up and dissolved, but for some reason, me and Yuffi were to be taken to the Duke of Magenta house by Lady Nerschel.

"If Uffi were officially adopted by His Majesty, he'd be out of touch with us, wouldn't he? Well, then, at least let me take the time to talk to you until you feel comfortable at the end, okay?

If you say so, it's hard to say no even to me. Raini asked me to leave the palace to report to Ilia, so I was the only one who came to the Duke of Magenta's house.

Plus, I'm staying today, so I totally treat you like a customer. Hmm, I'm not comfortable when I say I'm not comfortable because I've never received much welcome like this...

"It's a shame though. I can't believe Uffi found someone to admire from the bottom of his heart, but he's soon out of touch..."

"I have no choice. Don't talk too much."

"I know. But it's a real shame. Wow... even though Master Anis might have seemed like my daughter..."

Lady Nerschel spits out her thoughts like a real spare in the carriage to the Duke of Magenta's house. Lord Grants to blame for that, but make him see compassion and see that the couple is good.

I'm going to keep my precious daughter from those two. I feel completely different from when I came to say hello before, so I'm even more restless. Even though time had not passed since then, everything seemed to change dramatically.

"When the situation settles, it will also be possible to exchange words face-to-face, even if the edges cannot be restored. Until then, please be patient, Mother."

"Yep. You're my daughter, Yufi. I've always thought of you."

Gently smiling at each other, Yufi and Mrs. Nerschel. Lord Grants is watching those two quietly. I have trouble pinching my mouth for parent-child conversations and am just silent.

While doing so, the carriage stops at the Duke of Magenta's house. I got off the carriage at Lord Grants' escort and went inside and the servants were waiting for me to welcome them.

"Welcome home, sir."

"I'm back now. Take some time to talk. Tell Caind to show his face too."

"I'm in awe"

The butler gives Lord Grants the courtesy of directing him before gracefully walking away. Caindo-kun's name made me round my eyes a little bit. Though I think I have to explain, I was wondering if you were going to let me be there.

You felt the gaze of my doubt, Lord Grants gazing at me. Nothing in particular to say, Lord Grants only nods once and walks ahead.

Hmm... It's not like I have to pinch my mouth, but I have to say something. Without further ado, I was guided to a room where I had a tea party with Master Nerschel.

When you enter the guest room first and wait, Caindo-kun will be informed that you have arrived. Caindo-kun, who came into the guest room to continue, looks somewhat discouraged.

...... hmm? Could this have been squeezed after our last visit?

When I turned my gaze to Kaindo-kun like I was suspicious, he looked me in the eye that seemed kind of complicated. It's confusing, then it's an eye that wonders if we should rebel. I'm in trouble for being turned around like that......

"Caind, sit down."

"... Yes, Father"

Lord Grants prompts Kaindo-kun to take his seat.... Ugh, it's not air to laugh and have fun chatting. But there is a limit to the amount of time you can have as a family for Uffi and for the House of the Duke of Magenta.

Even Lord Grants is on official business, and Yuffi needs to be ready to be adopted to inherit the throne. That will inevitably keep me busy. This could be the last time.

"Caind, listen carefully. This is a matter of decision."

"... what is it?

"It has been decided that Ufilia will be adopted by the royal family."

"... Huh?

Why, as Caindo-kun said, he looks up. Lord Grants tells only the facts pale in return for such a caind.

"This has been a secret story with the royal family for a long time, but given the current state of the country, there was a voice for prophecy that Princess Anisphere's reign had concerns that would lead to the rebellion of the country. That's where the white feather arrow stood. From now on, Uphilia will become a member of the royal family by becoming an adopted child and will be granted the right to inherit the throne."

"What!?"

I can't believe it, Kaindo-kun looks back at Yufi like he said. Yuffi is sipping tea without anything in particular on his face.

"Did your father tolerate such impotence...?

"Unhelpful or nothing, it was Uphilia who brought it up. Sure, I offered a choice as one of my measures, but I didn't think it was a good idea. As a matter of fact, that's why I told Uphilia to cut off the edge of the house."

"… did you already talk about that during your previous visit?

"This story is about a medical examination from Uphilia when Prince Algard was abandoned."

"... yes, is it"

Kaindo-kun bit his lip and leaned down. I think the fist I put on my lap is probably gripped hard.

I can only ask how everyone is doing with the air that doesn't pinch my mouth. Aside from Caindo-kun, the faces of the Duke of Magenta house are just pale. Hey, I'm kind of stuck breathing. The difference between this house and when it's off and on is too intense...

"... So you think your sister will no longer be part of the Duke's family?

"It will."

"But His Majesty let such impotence pass? I don't think I can give you the throne instead of Princess Anisphere..."

"This is still top secret. Recently, an official announcement has been made that Uphilia will be named as the Spirit Contractor."

"Become..."

Take a breath and look like Kaindo-kun eats into Yufi's face. Yufi doesn't seem to show interest in Kaindo-kun and doesn't gaze at him. Hey, I feel some sign of a cold war. Honestly, my stomach hurts. It makes me crisp.

"To gain no less persuasion than direct lineage. That was the condition for Uphilia to be adopted. Ufiria, who accomplished great deeds, was allowed to take his name to the royal family. That's what I'm saying."

"... but wasn't your father pushing Princess Anisphere?

"Whatever. It's not like you can accept me and your daughter off the hook. But if Yufi wants it strongly and accomplishes great deeds, he can only send it out as a parent. As a duke, it's a place to look around. Then you'll be someone else in red."

Wow, Lord Grants is smiling scared and watching Uffi! You look intimidated, you're scared! Take that. Uffi's laughing thinly, too! I don't know! Magenta family. Communicate. I don't know!

"And Princess Anisphere... is too sick to stand as king. Not with this."

Yikes!? That's where you talk about me!? And they treat me like a sick person!?

Caindo-kun's gaze can be directed at me. That's a bewildering gaze. No, I'm also suddenly confused about being treated like a sick person!?

"This country was too strong for Princess Anisphere. At the earliest, everything was too late to make you stand as king of this country."

"Oh, you know, Lord Grants... care? You care, don't you? I appreciate that, but that's why I'm going to mislead Caindkun that Yufi gave you a name..."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say yes"

"Right."

Hey!? Why would Lord Grants and Yuffi admit it!?

See, that makes you think Kaindo-kun used Ufi to wipe the royal ass again!?

"What do you say this country has done to Princess Anisphere, Father?... If you say to embarrass the unknown, I will save you a lot, but I can't really grasp the story"

"Then I ask... did you honestly rejoice when Princess Anisphere was to stand as king?

Kaindo-kun frowned at Lord Grants's inquiry. He looked at me and saw how it was going. Well, there's something I think about that, isn't there?

No, it's nothing good. Even I didn't expect to be greeted by a king with all my heart...

"Princess Anisphere will not say whether or not to come this far and elaborate her mood. Be honest with your heart, Cain."

"... I was not anxious. It was always whispered that Princess Anisphere was disqualified as royal. And if you can't handle magic, I think you should welcome your excellent son-in-law and set up a king."

"Hmm. A lot of people in this country would think that way. If Uffi had been surrounded there as an assistant, the attitude of Princess Anisphere, who had refused to marry for so long, would have gone unnoticed."

... That's really awful when they say it again, me in the past. I don't have any regrets, but do you mean you can see through the idea that I don't care about anyone else a while ago?

But even if I could start over, I don't think I could bend. I might be able to stand around a little better, but I think I categorically disagreed with welcoming my son-in-law.

"If they say it's an impossible story to stand that Princess Anisphere as king, it is. You wouldn't be wrong. But let me tell you something, you're just clouding your eyes with rumors up there, Caind."

"... So why does Father push Princess Anisphere?

"Because Princess Anisphere possesses a similar gift of hope. Its value is not comparable to mine or anything else. I think even Uphilia would be sumptuous in a way."

Suddenly something awesome was lifted. Oh, what!? Lord Grants, you appreciated me so much!? It's my first ear!?

"Neither do I strongly deny the assessment that I have not fulfilled my duties as royal, as you put it, as disqualified as royal. But who do you think tolerated that? Caind."

"............... Are you trying to say that His Majesty himself has acknowledged it?

"That's right. Did you wonder if Prince Algard wanted me to be that strong and royal just because Princess Anisphere was talented? On the contrary, Princess Anisphere was driven from her duties as royalty because she risked being wanted by the king, even without magic."

Uh, yeah. Is that what happens to the stories around there...? Your father said so, didn't he?

Because I don't want to be an obstacle to Al, either.... Speaking of which, you've always wondered.

"Um, I'm sorry I'm in the middle of a story. I'm afraid Lord Grants can appreciate me that much too...?

I think Lord Grants has appreciated me for a long time. It's Lord Grants, if you think he brought up the story of restoring the right to inherit the throne.

But I don't think Lord Grants and I have that much contact, but I don't know what the hell they value. I couldn't help but pinch my mouth to that question.

"I thought the question was natural. That recognition of Princess Anisphere is the poison we've been feeding her."

"... Yes? Poison?"

"It's poison that erodes you. I don't think I'm aware of it because it's something I take the initiative to drink."

"... you're not talking about actual poison, are you?

"" Nobody expects you to ".... even that kind of poison"

Geez, and my heart almost stopped like it was grabbed., and his breath gets painful and he grabs his chest.

It's... it's certainly a poison that's eroding me. Yufi, who was sitting next to me, took her seat and held my shoulder. I'm horrified to hear Uffi's heart sound.

But I was surprised. I didn't expect this to happen when someone else told me again.

Lord Grants stares quietly at me. I don't even know what emotions are hidden behind those eyes, deep eyes. I was unexpectedly freaked out.

"... that's certainly not an exaggeration to say poison though. But I was the one who took the initiative and acted unexpectedly, wasn't I?

"Just conveniently riding it, we were definitely the ones in charge of politics who poisoned you enough to push yourself.... apologize for that dishonesty, then let's bow our heads again. If it wasn't for this opportunity, I wouldn't have been able to elaborate on my mood."

Well, Lord Grants narrows his eyes.

"I valued you very much. That has also been since childhood. That's why I couldn't have put you up to this situation. I was so afraid of you that you were my greatest political opponent."

"... no!?"

Suddenly, what are you saying, Lord Grants!? Why am I Lord Grants' biggest political enemy?!? What do you mean you've been afraid of such a little girl since you were a child!?

"Are you surprised"

"Oh, I'm surprised...!? Oh, let me, explain! Request an explanation!

"You must already be aware of that. It's really simple, it's just that."

……

Oh, I don't know. What is consciousness...?

I'll take a look at Uffi like I'm in trouble. Then, as if to revenge, Lord Grants has Yufi who is stripping his fangs and he gets gnawed.

If you look at Mrs. Nerschel like you're in a hurry, you're hiding your expression with your hands on your mouth. What, this temperature difference!? Maybe Caind is the only one who thinks the same about me!?

"... Dad, you used to say this to me, didn't you? Said he saw the ideal for Lady Annis. He wants me to be king because I recognize its value."

"Oh, I'm not lying"

Is that why?

"That's right." That's why. "

"What, hey, Yufi! Explain it! I'm so confused right now!

"... because it's a really simple story, Dear Anis"

Kick, and Yuffi continues to be challenged as he stares at Lord Grants.

"Your father was afraid of Anis' influence. Because you acknowledge its value more than anyone else. So I set out to pull out my fangs thoroughly. Right?"

"... my influence?

"It's magic. Dear Anis, think calmly. What aristocracy do you associate with having a nobleman who supported your father?

"Er...? Sorry, I can't answer that right away."

They say it's a layer of nobility that directs Lord Grants, but it doesn't come out painfully. I know it's your father's right arm, but when it comes to Lord Grants, I don't know exactly what he's doing...? I guess I'm just ignorant!

"So, Caind, what about you?

"... Factions that support your father have a lot to do with armaments. We gather strong support from knights everywhere, including Kingsguards, regular investigators of important places of spiritual resources, and the nobles of the territory, including their important places."

"Um, I mean, when I say it, it means faction, right?

"Yes.... my mother used to say it. In times of war, he strongly hopes to convert magic to knighthood."

"Yeah.... so?

"On the contrary, I ask, what do you think will happen if your father takes in Lady Anis?

... Er, Lord Grants' faction is a faction aristocrat, right? He said there is strong support from nobles who protect the country's vital resource, the Spiritual Resource, or hold it in their territory.

It's a delicious story even for me. Because they may have accommodated the resources in the realm, and most importantly, they can connect with the knights operating locally, so the propaganda of the magic props may have progressed quickly... right?

"... have you noticed"

"... Huh? Is that what this is...?

"Master Anis' magic can also be used by civilians. I mean, it threatens to transform the way the Knights are. Master Anis was standing around trying not to have power, wasn't he? It wouldn't be surprising if there were others who thought the same."

"... you say that's Lord Grants?

Unexpectedly turn your gaze to Lord Grants.... Scary, I've never thought I was so scared of people.

It's just my father's right arm, and I thought he was someone who used to help my father. But you're not interested in me at all, so I thought you were being ignored. At the bottom of my belly, I was putting that idea around...?

"Generally, as Yuffi imagined."

"Lies............ so, but why is that a political enemy? What a little girl I was!

"It's a matter of numbers."

"... number?

"If you are serious about creating your own faction, the people may turn to the enemy. Because magic props do not choose the user. Both the inferior aristocrats who are being treated cold and the Adventurer Alliance may attach to you in search of profits from demonic props. You have too much power on your side. On top of that, I had a bad compromise with the central nobles that move this country."

My mouth gets sour. I think my stomach fluids are coming up.... undeniable.

"Even if you didn't have the will to fight, you could have just broken the country. All you have to do is gently touch magic. All you have to do is distribute that invention. You were… the biggest political opponent that could destroy this country."

"Ugh...!

"Not to mention that in your childhood you were inclined to magic. I was just stepping forward for that. The idea, the thought, the secret talent... I feared. Assuming you didn't leave the palace, I was forced to take Cain as my fiancée and ask you to leave the royal family."

"That's it...!?"

You didn't think you were included in such thoughts, Caindo, and you're circling your eyes. What, scared......! You didn't show that bare gesture at all, Lord Grants......!

"It is only through the use of those who would be enemies to politics, Princess Anisphere. It only deepens my remorse that it became the poison that passed around... but you didn't have any credibility when you were a child."

"I don't trust you..."

"Its brilliance, the flexibility of thought that just keeps the throne away from itself. There are children who are not even adults yet. Uffi was treated like a prodigy, but that's only worth a thousand. The subordinate who obeys, without the people, the whole country will not be made up. In that respect, your own worth is immeasurable."

"... so poisoned that no one expected me to...? Did you work that way around?

"I didn't root that aggressively. I got caught out of the palace early. But... I'm more guilty than anyone of not taking your hand, even though I realize your worth."

"... it wasn't the Sprout Knights chief who allowed the Kingsguards and Samurais to spread Mana Blade, was it? Was that you? Lord Grants."

"Matthew wanted it more aggressively. I'm the one who stopped it. Speak to His Majesty, too. At least wait until Prince Algard is in power and turns to stone."

... Yes, it was.

I was unintentionally stunned and dropped. I know it's a shock, but it's not sad either. Only surprise recruited me, and my thoughts stopped.
