"...... indeed."

The Marquis Theodoric looked at Elsa as if he were seeing something dazzling and nodded.

The world is not as simple as Elsa made it out to be, but in this case, it is a very significant reason for making a decision.

"Thank you, Elsa. You have helped me to make up my mind.

She is the chairwoman of the conference, but she is also the representative of the Shoro Kingdom.

"The Shoro Kingdom proposes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Cesar as the next King of Cerroa."

And the objections?　He looked around at Reinhardt, Marquis Gehlen Theodoric, Minister of Magic and Technology Degaus, Lieutenant Colonel Fritz, and Captain Matheus in turn, but there was no dissenting opinion from their mouths.

"As a representative of the Kingdom of Klein, I, too, nominate His Highness Cesar as the next King of Cerroa.

Marquis Florenziano declared.

"The Kingdom of Egelea agrees with you. That was the original plan.

The Duke of Breu seconded the motion, thus unifying the opinions of the assembled delegates.

"Well then, let us go to the House of Sibert.

"Your Majesty, isn't it dangerous for all of us to go there?

Deghaus, the Minister of Magic and Technology, objected to the Empress's words.

"That's the difficult part. It is difficult to say which is which, because there is a risk that we will be divided.

This is Marquis Gehlen Theodoric.

"Yes, yes. ......<, what is your opinion?"

It is quite strong of him to ask for your opinion here. It's a little late for that.

"As for myself, I'd like to ......"

In case you are wondering, it was hard to distinguish between <> and <>, so I chose <>.

"I see. They won't be able to touch us there. How about it, gentlemen?

Since most of them had been on the <> the other day and knew how comfortable it was, there were no objections.

"Then, let's decide who will go to <>."

This took some time. The queen was not afraid to say that she would go, and Deghaouz and the other members tried hard to stop her.

The rest of the world was similar.

In the end, it was decided that Prince Arthur, Duke Bruu, Marquis Florenziano, Baron Reinhardt, and Jin, one from each country, would go as representatives.

Elsa and Edgar lead the way. Count Galana looked at Elsa with an indescribable look, but in the end he had nothing to say, and everyone boarded the without incident.

This time it is Rose who is piloting the ship. Lily is the cabin attendant.

"Here we go," she said.

Just like yesterday, the floated with a lightness that made us feel no turbulence.

On the other hand, the servants and maidens who could not get on board were guided by Lao Tzu and Anne to the boat from the back entrance of the guest house.

The back entrance faced the moat a dozen meters away, and the pier was close by.

A few soldiers were watching them, but nothing was said.

They were servants and were only boarding a ship of the Shoro Empire, so they did not need to be questioned.

Jin and the other delegates then went to the main entrance.

However, when they were about to leave the guesthouse and head for the Sibert Pavilion, a soldier intercepted them.

You are not allowed in here.

Ten soldiers with swords and ten soldiers with spears blocked the road from the guesthouse to the Cibert House.

The group was intercepted by a man who appeared to be the chief of the soldiers.

"Let us through. You have no right to restrict our movements.

Prince Arthur said, but the chief of staff would not listen to him.

"No, sir. You seem to be trying to interfere in our affairs. I will stop you from doing so!"

Whose orders?　Prince Alain Demainu?

I can't answer that.

While they were arguing, a nobleman came in. He was a stout, sturdy man.

"What are you doing?

He seemed to be a nobleman of high rank. The soldiers saluted him and bowed respectfully.

"Ha!　We have orders to seal off the guest house, and we are doing so!

Hearing this, the aristocrat blackmails him.

"Fools!　Detaining a representative of another country is a fool's errand. It'll be an international problem!　I'll take responsibility. Dismiss them."

But they're trying to interfere in our country's internal affairs. ......

"They're still complaining. You see, it's a disgrace to detain a representative of another country to which we've invited you. I say I'll take responsibility. Back off!"

Yes, sir. Go back to ......!

The nobleman's fierce words made the Chief of Staff reluctant to leave.

"I beg your pardon. My name is Barfeeza Walker, Chief of the General Affairs Department.

The nobleman introduced himself.

He was in his mid-forties, with brown hair, brown eyes, a moustache and beard, and a stern face. He looks more like a military man than a Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications official.

"I have heard that you support His Royal Highness the Dauphin Cesar, is that true?

Balfeather Walker asked, but Prince Arthur gave him a skeptical look in silence.

"I beg your pardon. I am a member of the faction that wants His Royal Highness the Dauphin Cesar to be the next king.

Prince Arthur does not seem to trust him at all.

"I am at a loss. We do not have much time. The Dauphin is under house arrest at the Cibert House and has no choice but to miss the meeting. If this situation continues, Prince Alain de Monnoux will ascend to the throne."

And the group went to the house of Sibert.

I can't let you in.

Again, they were stopped by the gate guard guarding the entrance, but Balfeather Walker's exhortation allowed them to pass.

"This way, please."

Barfeeza led us to a room. The door seemed to be locked and did not move at all.

"Reiko, open the door."

With those words, Reiko put her hand on the handle of the door and pried it open by force.

The door looked sturdy, but Reiko could not put up much more than a piece of cardboard in front of it, and it came off its hinges without a second thought.

"Your Highness!"

Inside was the Dauphin Cesar. He had been imprisoned in this room.

But ...... I don't have the key.

What do you mean by "the seal of the keys"? A true king should love his country and people and lead them into the future. I'm sorry, but the former king is not ...... allowed to say any more than his subjects are allowed to say. Anyway, for the sake of the country and the people, I ask you to ascend the throne.

Barfesa speaks passionately.

"The ministers are only afraid of the golem, which can be activated by the key seal. They all know who the real king is.

No matter how many Golems are activated, it is meaningless as long as Reiko is around, as we all know from that mock battle.

Although some of the fools seem to be following the king's brother, not minding the fact that they will no longer be able to suck the sweet juice that they have been sucking.

Prince Arthur opened his mouth.

"For the world, yes. Yes. The world conference we held the other day was a copycat. If that really took place, the world would be much more developed than it is now.
