174 Episode 15 Traitor




 It looks good on you, doesn't it?

 After the parade, Scheherazade smiled as she finished changing into her pure white wedding dress.
 The wedding dress that Scheherazade wore was a little different in design from the ones worn by Carolina and Nia.

 The fabric from the upper body to the waist was tightly attached to the body, and the skirt below the waist was spread out like the tail fin of a mermaid.

 The beautiful curves of Scheherazade are strongly emphasized.
 The bosom was cut in the shape of a heart to emphasize Scheherazade's large breasts.

 I've already given up on the ...... breasts, but I'm kind of wondering if I can do something about the buttocks.

 Scheherazade smiled bitterly.
 Her dress was designed to accentuate not only her breasts, but also her buttocks.

 Apparently, she is more concerned about her buttocks than her breasts.

 "Your Highness. Titus told me to wear this ribbon if my hips are really bothering me.

 With that, the servant attached a large white ribbon to Scheherazade's waist.
 The large ribbon would cover Scheherazade's buttocks.

 It's not very noticeable, is it? ...... You remembered what I said earlier when you were trying it on.

 Scheherazade smiled happily.
 Hercule, on the other hand, looks at Scheherazade's buttocks and thinks.

 (It's rather erotic when it's a little hidden. ...... At any rate, well done, Titus.)

 You know exactly what you're doing, brother.
 Hercule inwardly praised Titus.

 Then they went to the church and performed the marriage ceremony.
 The details were not so different from those of Carolina and Lunalie.
 The only difference was that Cecilia, not Millenia, performed the ceremony.

 The only difference is that Cecilia, not Millenia, will be performing the ceremony.

 Cecilia's expression was a little tense.
 Nia's wedding was a good rehearsal for Cecilia. ...... But Scheherazade's wedding and Nia's wedding have different political importance.

 Failing here would be a huge embarrassment for Cecilia. ......
 Cecilia is nervous.

 Hercule gives Cecilia a wink to relieve her tension.
 Cecilia then glared at Hercule.

 You shouldn't be flirting with a woman who is not the bride at the wedding, let alone the officiant.

 It was as if she was saying.
 However, Cecilia's anger at Hercule seemed to have released some of her tension, and her complexion was better than before.

 Thanks to the effect of Hercule's wink, Cecilia was able to successfully perform the ritual.
 Both Scheherazade and Hercule exchanged their wedding rings and became husband and wife.





 After the wedding, a luncheon was held.
 Lemuria and Fahls were seated separately at a circular table.

 Initially, the table was supposed to be rectangular, but there was a great deal of conflict over who should sit on top, Hercule or Sasan VIII, and where Cecilia, the medium, should sit.


 "I'm ...... glad to have you as family and blood relation, even if it's only in law, Emperor of Lemuria.
 "I'm also glad to be ...... related to you, King Farus.

 Hercule and Sasan VIII smiled at each other as they sipped their wine.
 Their faces were smiling, but ......
 I'm sure both of them are not happy about it.

 By the way, Chief Priest of Lemuria.
 "...... is that me you're talking about?

 Cecilia asked Sasan VIII, and he nodded.

 That's right, it's about you.
 I see. ...... May I make one correction?
 "Hmm, what is it?

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

 I don't know how the diplomats of the empire told you about me, but I am not the Chief Priestess, I am the Medium, the leader of all Messiahs. Let me just point that out.

 The official language of this world is Cyrillic.
 Therefore, the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Phars also conducted their diplomacy in Cyrillic, ...... and Cyrillic is also used here.

 The term "chief priest" in Cyrillic used by Sasan VIII refers to those who served the gods in polytheistic religions before the establishment of Messianism.
 The priests of the Chiris were priests who served the gods, but they were also "officials," that is, bureaucrats who served the state and the community.

 Praying to the gods for victory in war or for a good harvest was an important political enterprise of the state. ......
 It is obvious that those who did so were also bureaucrats who served the state.

 Therefore, referring to Cecilia as the "chief priestess" implies that Cecilia is a servant of the state, i.e., the Lemurian Empire and the Lemurian emperor.

 So Cecilia corrected that part.

 Oh, ......, excuse me. "Oh, , excuse me. Are you sure it's Medium?
 Yes. ...... And what is that?
 No, no, no, no. ...... I've heard that you are a very beautiful priestess of the Lemurian Empire, but I didn't expect you to be as beautiful as you are. I would like to take this opportunity to get to know her better.

 Sasan VIII began to talk eloquently.
 The words of praise for Cecilia's appearance came smoothly out of her mouth.

 As expected, Cecilia became embarrassed when she was so blatantly flirted with.
 Her ears, hidden by her beautiful silver hair, turn red.

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand. We're supposed to be celebrating the marriage of Scheherazade and I.

 "Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry, but this is just too beautiful for Medium.

 With a smile and a laugh, ......
 Hercule and Sasan VIII stared at each other again.

 "Well, Mother, ...... don't you think you ought to stop that?
 ...... I'm sure they both know their limits. Maybe.

 Scheherazade and Helena whispered to each other.







 After the luncheon, there was a break for a few hours, and then the dinner began.

 You look great in your new dress, don't you?
 Thank you, ......, it's not too naughty.

 The dress that Scheherazade was wearing was designed to look like a combination of an old Lemurian costume and a Foulds costume.
 The fabric was loose and did not cling tightly to the body.

 However, it was still made in such a way as to emphasize Scheherazade's unevenness, and it was also open at the chest. ......
 It seems that Scheherazade's senses are slowly becoming numb.

 "Come on, let's go. Scheherazade.
 "...... Yes. That .......

 Scheherazade said with a grimace.

 "You!

 


 The dinner party, unlike the luncheon, was quite large.
 The number of invited guests was much larger than the party held for Carolina.

 And so it should be.
 It was the marriage of the emperor and princess of two superpowers, the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Foulds, so the scale of the event was appropriate.

 Incidentally, both the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Foulds are paying half of the funds for such a large wedding.
 Well, formally, the Lemurian Empire alone is paying for the wedding. ......
 The Kingdom of Fars paid for half of the bride's expenses in the form of a bride price.

 Sasan VIII was overjoyed to pay for the wedding because he thought that the wedding of his most beloved daughter should be lavish and grand.

 The party was held in a standing room only style.
 The food was mainly Lemurian, but there were also dishes from Khayastan, Farus, and other chefs that Hercule had recruited from around the world.

 "It's been a while, Emperor Lemuria. But ...... hmm, I guess a change of dress does change your impression. It looks good on you, Scheherazade.

 Sasan VIII took a long look at Scheherazade, who was standing by Hercule's side, and praised his daughter's fine appearance.
 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

 "...... Yes, thank you. Father.

 Scheherazade smiled happily.

 "Your Majesty, take care of my daughter.

 Helena, who had come with Sasan VIII, bowed to Hercule.
 Hercule gave a small nod.

 "Yes, of course. You can count on me.

 Hercule grabbed Scheherazade by the shoulders and held her close.
 Then he kissed her on the cheek.

 The guests who were watching the scene groaned.
 While Scheherazade was red-faced and embarrassed, Hercule grinned at ...... Sasan VIII.

 "I got your daughter.
 "...... Hmm. How is it possible to be a slut in public like this?
 "How dare you seduce our medium with impunity?

 Hercule, who was still holding on to the incident at the luncheon, glared lightly at Sasan VIII.
 Sasan VIII shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "Oh dear.

 It seems the groom doesn't understand puns. Hmm, a cultural difference, perhaps? Scheherazade, you'll have a hard time, but good luck. ...... If you get tired of it, you can always come back, right?

 Hahaha ...... I don't think there's any pun intended in your father's case.

 Sheherazade, who knew of her father's misogyny, smiled bitterly.
 Then Sasan VIII turned on his heel.

 "Well, I'm sorry to interrupt. Helena and I will go to eat and talk with the ...... other guests. It's not every day you get the chance to exchange words with a diplomat from a western country. Besides, ...... the food here is delicious. Let's just admit it. ...... It's a complete defeat.

 Sassan VIII said, dragging Helena with him as he went to scavenge the food with gusto.

 "Oh! Well, well, well, isn't this King Hayastan! No, ...... the former King of Hayastan, to be exact? It's been a long time!
 "Geez! Huh, King Foulds!
 Hey, hey, why are you running away? Why are you running away? You're my former ally!

 Sasan VIII, who seems to have found a perfect tormentor while scavenging for food, heads straight for the poor ex-King Khayastan.

 Wouldn't it be better to help him?
 "Hmm, well, I don't have to, Luna will go first. I want Hayastan to be somewhat independent.

 Hercule shrugged his shoulders.
 Then Hercule and Scheherazade went to greet the dignitaries.

 "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Emperor of Lemuria, Your Highness, Princess Scheherazade.

 It was a diplomat dispatched from Kurotsuki who said this to them.
 His expression was ...... calm.

 Thank you. Thank you. ...... And actually, there is something I need you to tell the emperor of Kuro Thrust, okay?
 "Anything at all.
 "My country's best ally remains the Kuro Plague. If my sister's husband is in trouble, I will help him in any way I can.


 "Yes, I will certainly inform them.

 The diplomat bowed his head reverently.
 He had dared to tell Scheherazade in front of her that the Kuro Plague was her best ally, and his intentions seemed to have been well received.

 "Your Majesty, Emperor of Lemuria, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am the Duke of Fulling. My name is Namo.
 "Well, well, well. ...... Perhaps it's his famous Namo the Wise?
 "You know my name, ......, and there is no greater honor.

 The elven man who introduced himself as Namo ...... bowed his head reverently.
 It's a great way to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
 If you think about it, ...... his actual age is about 150 to 60.

 (......A naturalized elf of the Fulling Kingdom. Blood traitor.

 Hercule curses Namo inwardly, but smiles mildly.

 I wish I could have met His Majesty Ludwig, but ...... he can't come today, can he?
 "Yes. I'm currently on an expedition to the Duitsch region.

 The word "Duiche" means "the masses" or "the people" in the language of the Warbeasts.

 During the decline of the Lemurian Empire, many warbeasts flowed from the Duiche region to the West Lemurian Empire, including the Garlia region.
 The kingdoms established by the warbeasts who came to Gullia and became indigenous to the region were repeatedly consolidated and abolished, and the last surviving kingdom was the Fulling Kingdom.

 On the other hand, there was a group of warbeasts who remained in the Duiche region until the end.
 They called themselves "Duiche" and the land came to be known as "Duiche".

 Tell them I wish them luck.
 "Yes, sir. I will certainly do that.

 Hercule parted from Namo, saying something absent-minded.
 Then he met up with Todris once more.

 "Everything okay, Todris?
 Yes. ...... Well, there's no one I want the most.
 Well, he's not here, is he?

 The most wanted.
 I mean the kingdom of Cerda.

 Well, but this is to be expected.
 In the first place, there is no need to establish diplomatic relations with ...... a country that is about to be destroyed.

 Hercule and Todoris smiled wickedly, and then ......
 The music echoed in the hall.

 The musicians of the Lemurian Empire began to play music.

 "Scheherazade, can you dance?
 "I don't know that ...... Lemurian music.
 "Well, I'll lead you. Diplomacy is important, but ...... it's even more important to enjoy your once-in-a-lifetime wedding.

 Hercule said and took Scheherazade's hand.
 Scheherazade's face flushed red.

 "Yes ...... Your Majesty!

 After that, Hercule and Scheherazade continued to dance until the party was over.







 This is the capital of the Lemurian Empire, Nova Lemuria. This is Nova Lemuria, the capital of the Lemurian Empire.

 A girl with chestnut hair and eyes muttered as she looked around.
 The hood that hides her face has a triangular-shaped head, ...... indicating that she is a warbeast.

 A wolf-like, brown tail peeked out of her skirt.

 Her body is feminine enough, but her ...... face is still a little young.
 Her eyes, however, were ...... glowing with a sharp light.

 Warbeasts, high-ranking species, werewolves.

 Sonia Lupus Geyseria.

 She is the princess of the Gayseria family, a branch of the famous werewolf family, the Leups, who rule the Kingdom of Chelda.
 She is also engaged to the current king, King Hilderic II.

 It seems that she is in the midst of happiness,......, but the girl's expression was dark.

 I'm not sure what to make of it. Princess.
 ...... Not so long ago, was it?
 ......

 You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.
 The man in charge of the guard held his tongue.

 "It's as if ...... you're siphoning off our wealth. No, I'm sure they're actually sucking it up.

 Sonia stared at the large ships coming in and out of the Nova Lemuria harbor.
 This city was definitely the economic center of the western world, with various products being brought in from all over the world's oceans, consumed, and new products being produced and shipped out.

 A metropolis with a population of over 700,000, a place where two-thirds of the world's wealth is gathered. When I read it in a book, I thought it was an exaggerated expression, but ...... I think I may be right.

 In addition, ......, which has a population of over 700,000
 This is a bit of old information.

 The current population of Nova Lemuria has surpassed 800,000 and is on the verge of reaching 900,000.
 The population was increasing due to the stability of Hercule's reign and the booming economy.

 In comparison, our capital, Chelda City, has fallen quite a bit.

 The capital of the Kingdom of Chelda, Chelda.
 It is one of the largest cities in the western world.

 It is one of the largest cities in the western world. With a population of over 500,000, it supported the economy of the Kingdom of Chelda.

 However, due to the economic turmoil caused by the ...... long war, the city of Chelda has completely declined.
 The population of Chelda City, which used to be 500,000, has now dropped to around 300,000, and the population is still declining, and is about to drop below 30.

 Is there a difference between ...... monarchs?


 Princess!
 What's wrong with telling the truth? Let's face it.

 Sonia said grimly.
 She frowned as she thought of the face of her future husband, the king of the kingdom of Cerda, and ...... her well-shaped eyebrows.

 I'm not sure what to make of that. The previous king, Raus I, was a great king. In his time, Cerda City was as developed as Nova Lemuria!

 Sonia's words contained a slight glorification of the past.
 It is true that until most of the reign of King Raus I ......, when a man named Hercule appeared on the scene, the Kingdom of Cerda was more than equal to the Lemurian Empire.

 It's just the beginning, Princess! The Lemurian Empire has developed to this extent because of its cooperation with other races. Since the reign of His Majesty the King, the Kingdom of Chelda has abolished discrimination against other races and given them equal rights under the law. It will continue to develop more and more in the future. ......

 You're not serious about that, are you? ...... You are a fool to believe the logic of such a fraud (Hoamel). I'm sure the history and culture of Lemuria and Cerda are different. Why don't you realize that? Why don't you realize that? ...... Do you think politics is so simple that if you follow the same policies as Lemuria, you'll get the same results?

 Sonia seemed to be irritated.

 I'm sure you'll agree. I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea. That's impossible! You can't run a country's government based on emotion. ......
 "Princess! Don't go any further.

 I'm not sure what to do.
 I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

 If you say anything else, we will have to take your words to your father and the king.
 "The King? Where is the king? ......
 Princess!
 ...... I'm sorry. You're right, no matter how incompetent he is, he's still the king. I'm sure you've heard of it, but I've never heard of it.

 Sonia chattered her teeth.
 A sharp canine tooth peeps out from her lovely lips.

 "...... Princess. I'm not sure what to make of this. You can't send a messenger to celebrate that man's wedding.
 "Hmph. If it was the raccoon King Fullering or his treacherous Lemurian emperor, they would have attended the wedding with open arms and said a sarcastic word or two.

 It's times like this that you should show your size. ......
 What is the point of showing off your small capacity?
 I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that," Sonia said irritably.

 However, ...... Hilderick II's idea of "losing face" is also reasonable.
 However, Sonia simply cannot forgive all the actions of her fiancé, whom she hates.
 The actions of people she dislikes always seem to be wrong.

 This is a great opportunity to get to know the great king of the Farse Kingdom, the superpower of the East.
 "My Master. I'm sure you're aware of that. ......
 "You're just going to watch the wedding from a distance, aren't you? I know.

 Sonia's visit to Nova Lemuria was an unofficial one.
 And she didn't even get permission from the king or her own father.
 She knew that if she asked them in advance, they would say no.

 But Sonia really wanted to see the face of the Emperor of Lemuria and his fiancée, who had disgraced the Kingdom of Cerda.

 You must learn their faces so that you can be the first to cut off their heads when you see them on the battlefield.
 "Princess. For God's sake, don't charge into the middle of the parade.
 I'm not going to go that far. ...... maybe.






 A few days later, the wedding took place.
 Sonia and her friends waited for the emperors of Lemuria to arrive at a place they had reserved in advance.

 ...... It's a big crowd.
 "Princess, don't let go of my hand, okay?
 I know! Don't ever treat me like a child!

 I know, I know, don't treat me like a child!" The petite Sonia was jostled by the crowd, but somehow managed to stand on the street on two legs.
 A few moments later, lively music vibrated in her eardrums.

 Then the citizens cheered loudly.
 Then came the golden carriage.

 "So that's the Emperor of Lemuria. ......

 Sonia stared at the Emperor of Lemuria as hard as she could.
 The Emperor of Lemuria was completely oblivious to this.

 Then she looked at the bride.
 The woman was beautiful, an elf in an unfamiliar dress, perhaps a foul dress.


 A few hours later, while I was waiting at ...... the same place, the golden carriage came again from the opposite direction.
 It was returning from a wedding ceremony at a church.

 Sonia stared at the Emperor of Lemuria as he reappeared.
 She also glared at the bride.



 When she saw the pure white bride smiling happily, ......
 Sonia felt a tightness in her chest.

 It's a beautiful dress, princess. What do you think? I'm sure you'll be happy with the results.
 "......

 Indeed, the pure white wedding dress was very beautiful.
 I wish I could wear a dress like that for my once-in-a-lifetime wedding. ......

 There are no craftsmen in Japan who can make such a dress.
 You don't know ...... that, do you?
 I don't know. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ...... Well, even if you could make it.

 I'm not going to get married in the first place, so it doesn't matter.
 You can get a lot more information on the web.
