I don't have a very difficult job for you to do, Mr. Ambassador. Just think of me as one of the people my country sends to you.

Huh....

　Feliana begins to explain her role as an ambassador.
　Jessica remains frozen next to her, still frozen in place. She occasionally looks at me, but when I notice and make eye contact with her, she immediately averts her gaze. This is a repetitive process.
　I don't remember doing anything that a little girl wouldn't like.

''Even though you're an ambassador, you can treat me as one of Noah-sama's subordinates. And I also promise to keep confidential any information that Jessica obtains in her capacity as ambassador that does not pose a direct danger to our country.

...What do you mean by that?

''For example ... yes, that's right. We're talking about how many demons there are in Grandizia that can be operated, how many forces they have, what countries they plan to attack in the future as their policy, and so on. To put it simply, as long as Grandizia doesn't set the Kingdom of Orleans as its next target for attack, they won't release this kind of information to our country.

....

　I promise, said Feliana.
　However, is it true - such doubts arise. I'm not sure I can trust such a word as that, that you go out of your way to dispatch the princess of a country as an ambassador and never pass on information about my country.
　To the extent, it's safe to assume that they are sent out 'in such an appearance'.
　You can't blame Jessica for sending out a private letter to her family back home--Feliana or any other such act, as expected.
　When I reported that to Drake, he said, ''Clutching a knife behind a smile is what diplomatic relations are all about. ''Don't listen to the words of the vixen,'' he said. Drake, I guess he doesn't like Feliana.
　Oops.
　More importantly, there are a lot of things I need to check.

'Well Mr. Feliana. I'd like to ask you one thing.

Yes, Master Noah.

'My country has only just told you that it is going to be founded...and the embassy doesn't exist to begin with. I'm not prepared to accept Princess Jessica as my ambassador.

　This is a fact.
　My country is nothing more than a forest and an elven hiding place.
　From now on, I'm going to cut down the forests around the hidden villages to expand the country, and then build houses out of stone and wood, and so on.
　Even the demons under their control are allowed to do as they please in the forest, and there are no facilities to receive heavyweights from other countries.
　That's why, if you're going to accept Princess Jessica, it's better to be ready for that kind of preparation before you accept her.

''As I said before,''

Yes, sir.

'You're welcome to treat Jessica as one of your subordinates and not as an ambassador from my country. There is no need for a grandiose embassy.

But...

Jessica, is that all right?

Yes, sir!　Sure!

　Jessica responds cheerfully to Feliana's words.
　I wonder if she really listened to me properly. Is it just me, or is it just me, who seems to be getting upset for some reason?
　When the eyes meet mine, Jessica's face turns bright red and she looks away.
　........Do you hate me that much?

'Ummm...'

　Um, let me get this straight.
　Jessica is being sent to my country as an ambassador.
　That's according to Drake's theory, a hostage situation and a way for me to get caretakers and such to infiltrate my country. I'm sure you'll need someone to take care of you, since Jessica is a princess, and she will need someone to take care of her.
　It's not that I have any information that I don't want you to know, but my country is as good as naked in front of the Kingdom of Olvance in the information war. I really want to avoid that if possible.

''........''

　That.
　So, let's make this easy.
　We can treat Jessica as one of our own. We don't need a place to stay, not even an embassy.
　So....

"Yes, Miss Feliana.

Yeah.

'I will consider Princess Jessica to be one of my men. After signing the papers today, she is my man.

Yes, so...

Then I guess that means I can take Princess Jessica home with me as soon as today's signing ceremony is over.

　As Drake calls it, 'the one who comes as a caretaker' - to not accept it into the country.
　I'll take Princess Jessica back to my country right now, and that's fine.
　Even if the leak of information from Princess Jessica to Orvans is unavoidable, the danger is far lessened by not accepting anyone other than Princess Jessica.
　What do you think--.

Yes.

　But, contrary to my thoughts, it's not.
　Feliana smiles at me, as if she is extremely natural, and says, "That's fine.

That's fine. Please, take care of Jessica for me.

　Yes, I said.
