35 Princess, sa frontier.




"Your Highness Ninaev.
Princess, this is...


 I, Ninaef Faerie, am in the remote land of Ananaro. This is a city right on the border between the Kingdom of Fairytlov and the Kingdom of Migga. The Kingdom of Fairytlov and the Kingdom of Migga. There are only about three cities adjacent to each other. The rest of the country is covered in forest. It is said that there are many demons living in the vast, untouched forest.


 This is the first time I have visited this city, which is located at the edge of the Kingdom of Fairytlov. The relationship between the Kingdom of Fairytlov and the Kingdom of Migga is neither good nor bad. There is a good chance that something will upset the balance between them.


 ...... There is a good chance that the equilibrium will be upset by the fact that the Kingdom of Fairytlov has acquired the Divine Son. There is no guarantee that the Kingdom of Fairytlov will not act arrogantly against the Kingdom of Migga because of the fact that they have the God Child in their hands.
 There is a good chance that war will break out. No, in fact, there is a good chance that this country itself will die. The High Priestess is acting according to her words. Even the royal family will be afraid of your power and won't be able to stop you from doing as you please.


 Honestly speaking, in case of war, Ananaro, where I am now, is likely to become a battlefield. I have to be prepared for that, I think. I'm only ten years old, and I don't know how much I can move. I don't know, but I'm royalty. As a member of the royal family, I want to protect the people of my kingdom. And I think I have to protect you if the kingdom of Fairleigh Troff takes a turn for the worst.
 It's true that a lot of things are happening because of you, but you're a little girl, younger than me. Without the fact that she is a goddess, she is just a helpless child. The reason why she has grown so much is because of the life she has lived in the village and the great temple where she is expected to listen to everything about you. And it is the fault of a country that cannot even admonish the Divine Child because of the horror of his power.


 It might be easy to blame someone else. If this country goes down the drain, there may be more than a few people who will blame you for it. The people are welcoming you with beautiful children. But if a war breaks out because of her, you never know how they will turn their hands.


 ...... It is because of this that I am thinking about the worst possible scenario, and although I don't know if I can do it, I am going to act so that if something happens, you will not be solely responsible.
 I'm only ten years old, and I'm still a child, but you're three years younger than that, and you're much younger than I am.



Have a nice day.


 That's why I need to get more allies in Ananaro. Only one maid has followed me to the frontier. As a truncated princess, I have no value other than my status as a princess. But just having one ally is helpless and reassuring to me.


 It's a great relief to have an ally that you can trust and talk to.
 ...... You probably don't have anyone like that. There is no one around you who can admonish you for your own sake. It's very sad.


Nina-sama, you've been working day after day without a break, are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.


 Since I came to the frontier, I've been trying to do everything I can. I'm staying in the house of the Lord of Ananaro, and I'm sure I'll be a nuisance to the land of Ananaro. It is natural for them to treat me as if I were a boil.


 That's why I have to make an effort to be accepted here.
 I have to earn their trust. I have to earn their trust so I can make a place for myself.
 There's no time to rest. Because if I had time to rest, I'd want to act.


 But.
"It's okay. ...... It's not okay. You're only ten years old, you don't have to work so hard. I'm worried about you, please rest.
 That's what the maidservant, Hondetta, told me.


 There are a number of maidservants sent from the lord's house in Ananaro, but I basically keep Hondetta by my side. To be honest, I don't even know if I can take her side yet. I don't like to think about it, but there is always the possibility that she might be assassinated. To be honest, the fact that he was displeased with her would be enough cause for those who put her first to assassinate him.


 The Lord of Ananaro is not that kind of a person, and is more than willing to protect me. Your father drove me here with that in mind. ...... I was a little bit happy to think that it was probably because of the father's love for his daughter. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work.


"...... Is that so?
Yes. Nina-sama is straining herself right now. I'm really worried that you'll continue to act like this, and you'll collapse.


 Seeing the look of sincere concern in Hondetta's eyes made me feel like I needed to rest.


Thank you for worrying about me. I really appreciate that.


 Just knowing that someone cares about me makes me feel warm and fuzzy. It's because of Hong-Detta that I can do what I can here.


Hong-Detta, I'm going to take a break. I'm going to take some time off, so please wake me up at .......
Yes!


 As I listened to Hondetta's cheerful voice, I departed for the world of sleep.
