While the two Imperials were wary of the area every time they entered the castle or rode the elevator, Ditsen, who was already accustomed to our castle, had the luxury of enjoying the view.

　As soon as they reached the fourth floor, they walked to the window and cheered.

''A cloudless blue sky and a beautiful flying island! I'm back in the land of the sky I dreamed of!

　Ditsen cried out that with his arms outstretched and began to laugh high, and Yuri, who had been waiting in the chair, smiled kindly at Ditsen.

''Ditsen-sama, please calm down, okay?''

'Whoa! Your Highness Yuri!

'You were in the middle of the hall, and now you have noticed me. By the way, I should have sent a letter to Brother Januar...

　When Yuri muttered that, Ditsen nodded with a divine face.

He asked me to take his place on that occasion....

　When Ditsen replied that, Yuri raised his eyebrows in a c shape and put his hand to his mouth.

''Well.......Brother Januar did such a serious thing?''

　Ditsen's eyes swam at Yuri, who looked truly surprised. It was obviously a suspicious attitude, but Yuri didn't seem to notice it. The ten people are exhaling languidly at the back of the round table where they can sit down slowly.

　With their eyes on them, Aifa and Violette walked to the window. Looking out of the window, Violette opens her mouth with a dubious face.

''........It's a bigger island than I thought, but I can't see any people at all.

'I suppose they are under strict orders to keep us on guard. It's such a well-maintained garden. Not a few people must be needed.

　I chuckled at the back of the two men who were reading something deep and I pointed to the table where Yuri was.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. I'm sure you're tired from the air travel, so please take a chair first.

　When he told them that, Aifa and Violette looked at each other, nodded, and sat down in their chairs to face Yuri. Ditsen sits next to Yuri.

　The table is round, so inevitably I was sitting between them. By the way, the robots that protect my surroundings are two on my left and right, and six placed around the table. The rest are next to the elevator, Yuri and Maia.

　And A1 is Eira's bodyguard, who is hiding behind the pillars of the hall.

　The glamorous hall has become a bit grim, but it can't be helped if you think of it as a safety precaution.

　Once everyone is seated, as indicated, Maer and Trainee push the serving table and place a teacup of tea in front of each of them.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to expect when you're ready to go.

''Oh, I'll have it!

　Ditsen was the first to put his hand on the cup, and Yuri bowed to us and took the cup in his hand.

''Yes, it's delicious.''

It's delicious, really.

　When they sipped their tea and expressed their impressions, Aifa and Violette also picked up the cup and brought it to their mouths.

　They don't seem to be worried about poisoning or anything else.

　It's not that I'm not concerned about poisoning the emissaries of other countries without asking for their business, but I'm not foolish enough to poison them.

　While thinking about this, I looked at Aifa and the others with a smile on my face.

I'm sorry to cut to the chase, but I heard that Aifa-san and the others came to check out this country. So, let me ask you about the rest of it.

　Violette smiled thinly as she asked in a vague way.

''........You want to know what kind of response the Empire will have after examining this country? Does that mean we can't ignore the power of the Empire, even when we're in the sky?

　Violette gives a horrifying and bewitching smile, and Aifa lets out a deep sigh and opens her mouth.

''There's no need for checks and balances, General Violette. Quite frankly, if this country doesn't take on the Empire, we have no way to mess with it.

Aifa...! You....!

　Aifa's overly honest dialogue caused Violette to stand up with a change in her blood. She tried to argue, but Aifa silenced her with a single glare.

　Then, she quietly opened her mouth.

''Well let me be honest with you, the empire ... no, the emperor is trying to take this country away from you. He is a greedy man who has always had what he wanted in the past. I wouldn't back down just because I saw or heard what kind of country it is.

Hey, hey, Aifa...

　Violette is puzzled. It seems to be more colored as surprised rather than angry. Aifa's words were too critical, but she's not angry about it, apparently.

　Aifa took a glance at Violette and shook her head lightly from side to side.

''It's a story that can't be hidden. If the story of your alliance with the Atul Kingdom is true, you'll hear rumors soon enough.''

　That being said, I nodded my head in agreement.

''We do indeed have an alliance with the Atul Kingdom. I really want the emperor to have a peaceful relationship with the Atul Kingdom, but.......if the emperor wants the Atul Kingdom, is it difficult to convince him?''

　Aifa wrinkled her brow as she said that with a bitter smile.

''No ... the emperor has already lost interest in the Atul Kingdom. The emperor's goal would be this one celestial country. If he were to invade another country, it would be because he needs to take this one.''

　I snort at Aifa for assuring me that, and I lean back against the back with a snort.

　The emperor seems to be a more troublesome person than I thought. Well, as far as I can see, he seemed to be an elderly man, so there is a possibility that the emperor will be replaced while enjoying air travel.

''I would have liked to see the streets of the empire, which is currently gaining the most momentum, or something like that, but it would be a provocation if I approached it. I don't want to provoke them to talk about attacking the Atul Kingdom again.

　Is it safe to stay away from the Empire for a while?

　Yuri tilted his head as he said that.

''Do you mean to attack our allies and lure out the Celestial Kingdom? However, no matter how much the Blau Empire would fight against a celestial country? The other side is up in the sky.

　Violette sniffed and raised the edge of her mouth at such a supremely obvious question.

''It would be better not to underestimate His Majesty, right? You would be willing to destroy the Atul Kingdom, the Empire's gentry, and even the Empire itself rather than give up on this country.''

　Violette laughed and for some reason bit back her amusement as she said this. What a bad-natured general and a bad-tempered emperor.

　I looked at Violette's smile with a knitted eyebrow and then suddenly shifted my gaze to Aifa.

''........Could it be that the emperor ordered the two of you to take control of the island together?

　When he asked that, Aifa silently closed her eyes and picked up her teacup.

　He didn't answer, but it seemed to be the right answer.

　Even if it was a small country, it would be unthinkable on Earth that just two people could take it away from them. However, in this world where an individual could be a powerful force, perhaps that would be possible.

　However, it would also be barbaric to treat someone who appeared as an emissary as an evil person, even if it was the other country that the allies were fighting a war with.

　I've invited him to this castle, so I'll give him a proper reception.

　Having decided that, I turned to face Trainee and Maia.

I'm sorry. I'd like you to prepare a meal.

What?

　Maea yells out loudly at my words. I laughed at the look on her face and continued to speak.

'Oh, and a drink, please.'

Oh, yes, yes I'll be right with you, then.

　Confused, Maia bowed politely and walked back to the elevator with Traine.

　Well, it would be confusing.

　As I turned around with that thought, Aifa and Violette were also looking at us with eyes that seemed to be looking at strange things.

''........The war could start at this very moment. Don't you think so?''

　When Aifa says that, Violette nods and opens her mouth before I can answer.

''I can only think of it as madness.......Are you going to share a meal with someone who might be an assassin?

　I smiled brightly and nodded at the two of them as they said such things.

''You two are emissaries of the Empire, aren't you? Even if the emperor tells you to go and declare war, treat him as a guest until he actually gets a declaration of war. So, if there is going to be a war, why not have a good meal first? It's so good you'll regret it if you don't eat it.

　When I told them that, they froze with stunned faces.

　Apparently, there is no international law of warfare in this world. Is it natural?
