I am now witnessing a scene that I can't describe in words. Now, I don't know what words to say. ....... I continue to watch the scene while I am troubled.

The dining room of a mansion in the capital. In front of me sits Sandille, the household servant of the goddess. He looks like an old fox with a mustache, but for some reason he is wearing a hakama (traditional Japanese male dress) and a kamishimo (a kind of ceremonial dress). This seems to be their formal attire, but it is a curiosity, or perhaps a joke too far: ....... They are dressed as if they were "Goroi", or "Gozen", or "Goroi".

Poking her head out of his back is his daughter, Alilia. She is tugging at his beard over Sandille's back. But he does not react at all. He keeps staring at me, despite my concern that it might hurt. There is no intention in his eyes to do anything about this girl.

Furthermore, Eryl is standing by the old fox, and she says, "Here, let me give you this. Please take it," she says, offering her own snack, a steamed bun. There are already tea and steamed buns on the table, but Eril still dares to give her own steamed bun. He probably thinks that Sandille doesn't like his buns. Then, he is giving her a different kind of buns that he has. What a good sister she is. She has grown up to be a good girl even though she is my daughter. I mean, why doesn't she react to the buns that my daughter is trying to give her even if she has to pull out her own snacks? It's not that I don't want to have a long discussion with her in some unpopular place, but I'll keep my mouth shut for now.

I look down further and see my son Idea tugging at his hakama. He seems to be interested in someone he has never seen before. And he wants to play with this old fox. I can see it in his eyes. Why does this old fox ignore my precious son's invitation to play with him? Does he hate my son that much? I think he looks pretty cute. No, he's my son. How could he not be cute? I must punish him a little for ignoring my angel boy's invitation. Now, what shall we do? .......

What are you doing?

Suddenly, a loud voice echoes through the dining room. Rico is standing there with a devilish look on his face. Eryl freezes with his bun clenched in his hands, and Alyria tries to run away. Idea is staring at the face of her beloved mommy with a frightened expression on her face.

"Alyria, you mustn't do anything naughty!　Eril, you are a big sister and if your sisters are being naughty, you must stop them!"

"Gosh ...... sorry ......"

"Idea, come here."

With that, Rico takes his son in his arms. He nuzzles his face into his mother's chest and thrashes around with a happy expression on his face.

"Eril, you go over there," she says.

"Yes. ......"

With a sad expression on her face, Eryl heads away. I stopped her.

"Eryl. Thank you for trying to give me a bun. You were great, you didn't do anything naughty."

"......"

She stopped and stared at me, and then she padded away. As I watched her back, I told Rico how she had been trying to give Sandille a snack and how she had not done anything naughty. She sighed loudly and looked for a while in the direction of the kitchen door where Eril had left.

"...... a lively family, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry. My daughters have been up to all sorts of mischief.

"Linos, why didn't you stop him?　You're being rude to our guests.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, ma'am, it's all right. I'm the one who came to get you. Don't worry about it.

I'm sorry, sir.

"Now, on with the story. I would like to ask you to wait a little while before going to the Elven Village.

"On that subject, Mr. Sandille. Why would Princess Meek go there and get her killed?　And I'm not sure ...... that I'm going to destroy the elven village. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rico shudders at the mention of my destroying the elf village. I glance at her to show her that I'm okay and face the old fox again.

"That makes sense. First, I have learned that the Elf King has another princess. That means she will be the next queen.

"What does ...... mean?"

"When Princess Meek returns there, she will go to ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There could be a struggle for succession."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right, ma'am."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait a minute. You have been chosen as the next queen, haven't you?　Then there would be no succession struggle, would there?　Moreover, I heard that it has been hundreds of years since Princess Meek left her village. Hasn't she already been disinherited?"

Sandille shakes her head at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, the elven king is determined to be succeeded by his eldest son. When Princess Meek returns, she will probably be the next queen."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Such ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Linos, many royalty, both elven and human, have the idea of taking advantage of those who can. I'm sure there will be those who will try to take advantage of Princess Meek, even if she has no intention of doing so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I fold my arms and look up to the heavens and think.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, how about we declare that Princess Meek will not be the next king and then go see her?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Linos, that's no good. It is the Elven King who will decide who the next king will be. Besides, it's your life, Meek. It is not our place to decide.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I agree. I mean, if you take the princess, there is a ...... high probability that there will be a struggle for succession.

"I see. ....... And what about the ...... that says I will destroy the elves if I take the princess?"

That's it. Perhaps Lord Rinos will be attacked when he enters the elf village. If that were to happen, it would not be Lord Rinos who would willingly give his own head. As a result, he will use his skills to protect himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I don't think so.　If I am about to be attacked, I will come back with a shifting ward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, perhaps the elves will take measures against the skills of Lord Rinos. Even if they manage to escape, they will certainly send their pursuers after them.

"What?　Why?"

"Many think that the home of the elves is a place that no one should invade ....... We have sent messengers to the Elven Village many times over the last few hundred years, but all of them have died mysterious deaths along the way. They seem to have some very good assassins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But I have wards. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That is, if you are still alive, Master Linos. They will be after you until your grandchildren's time. After all, their lifespan is too long."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know what Lord Rinos thinks. But you must endure the assassination attempts that come your way from time to time. And if it were to happen to his wife and his family, it would be very hard to bear. In that case ......"

"Do you choose to eradicate the elves ......?"

When I said that, Rico suddenly shook my hand. His hand is as soft as ever.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mrs. Sandille, that's not true of my husband. But ...... there seems to be a lot to think about when it comes to going to the elven village. ...... may we take this story under advisement?　We'll discuss it with the family once."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I would appreciate it if you would. I'm sorry. I am not comfortable talking to you about this after all this time, after you have asked me to do so. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Please don't be so concerned about it. ....... You have always been a great help to me. It's only natural."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sandille nodded broadly at Rico's words and then slowly turned her attention to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You have a good wife, Linos," he said.

Then he smiled sadly .......
