Kanna no Kanna

晩 The evening of the day when Canna and Real meet the king.

Even when most of the people are still asleep at night.

There was two figures in one room, where no starlight glows from the windows, without light, in the room where only the king and others were allowed to enter.

"... I'm pretty sure you were going to be there, too." "Fufu, sorry. After that, I was a little sick and rested in my room."

On one side is King Eldafoss, head of the country and the master of the room. And facing it was an elf woman who masked her face and masked her face during an audience.

"How was your younger brother's grandson?" "... If you look closer, it's still a live copy of Reina." She "... what?" "It seems he died in Diagar." Or ... I'm sorry. "

I can't tell what emotions women have because of the mask. It was no doubt that the voice was disappointing.

After a little silence, the masked woman starts the fire.

"So what are you going to do in the future?" "I got a letter of consent from Emperor Diagar, so I'm going to do things as originally planned. Are there any other things?" I have no right to object to the king's words. "" Everyone knows that even if you have no right, your words are powerful. "

Different? Said the king, looking at the masked woman.

While gazing at the king, the woman laughed at the back of the mask. "It's only if you have a position as a" miko ", otherwise you won't reach anyone like me."

As the masked woman says, she doesn't actually have any authority over state affairs. But her words are more important than any other important person involved in national affairs.

At times and occasions, he exerts more power than Forslin, his assistant to public affairs, and King Eldafoss.

That power was in the position of a "miko".

"The shrine maiden is just a matter of giving advice."

Sound A smile reminiscent of color and bells. She has the best traits of being a shrine maiden, and the king who knows it has no choice but to think she is white.

"But there is still something surprising that I thought that it was a shrine maiden who would oppose bringing Real into our country more than anyone else." "The existence of that child is superior to existing values. Yes, that's it. "" Will it threaten the purity of the Eldafoss royal family? "" The position of her right to inherit the throne is the lowest. It must be well understood by yourself. "

Real is half as undoubtedly royal. That means that she will have the right to take over the throne.

But it is also at the bottom of the ranking, as the shrine maiden said. King Eldafoss already has several sons and daughters who are potential successors, and his brother, Forslin, has already waived his right to succession.

Unless the King's child is completely annihilated in an unforeseen event, this is not the case, but at least at the moment the rank of the right to inherit is the lowest. Real, his grandson and mixed race, slipped underneath.

"But Real Farbert is definitely going to be important to Eldafoss in the future." "I know that her presence is crucial to a stronger connection with Diagal. "So, I've come up with one thing here."

The shrine maiden fulfilled her role and brought a proposal to the king.

The king heard this and was surprised at first, but nodded immediately.

"I see. Your proposal is perfectly reasonable. Can it be called a common practice among nobles?" "In order to maintain the lineage of the royal family, it has not been taken very initiative, "I can't help it." "I'm glad. I'll talk with you on your proposal. Miko, it was a hard time." "

──The maiden of Eldafoss.

It has been handed down from generation to generation as a king's mentor, while at the same time monitoring the purity of the Eldafoss royal family.

It is said that he is separated from all powers and has no concrete real power, but has the same speaking power as the king. Successive shrine maiden have something in common.

That is, the woman who inherits her position wears a mask from the moment she inherits her position. Therefore, few people know their real faces.

"By the way, King, I heard that when I met Real, it seemed that Shirayasha was present." "Does the shrine maiden know him?" "Rumors. I have heard that he is an adventurer who is beginning to stand out. "" I see ... but I didn't seem to have the rare heroism that Real and you could talk about. "

His head seems to be spinning fast, and it makes sense. But from the king's point of view, it was a fact that I couldn't feel anything glowing. If the story of Real and the shrine maiden were all true, it would be no wonder that the king actually saw something, but he did not have any.

"King. It may be better to be careful of that person." "What is it?" In addition to "Chiba Reedial," we have heard that "Ansara," an active A-class adventurer, is also a personal acquaintance. That's not all, just because you're getting it. "" ... I see.

Following the shrine maiden's advice, King Eldafoss nodded mysteriously.
