The genius prince : vol 7 ch 20
Her heart seemed to sink when she was told by As if to scoop up her heart, Mirabelle said.
"Of course, I have no intention of doing that to her. As long as she has a strong heart, she can live as a Fulham, because that is what the empire is all about. "
Mirabelle giggles as she strokes Elyse's hair.
"'It's rather fortunate that she has white hair. I wonder what would have happened if she had red hair?"
"Red hair ?"
"Don't you know about this? It is a legend passed down among the Fulham people."
It was the first time I heard it. Know? Franya sent a glance to Nanaki beside her, and he nodded slightly.
"Once every few hundred years, a fiery red-haired Fulham is born, and the bringing a hundred years of prosperity to the Fulhams. That's a legend. "
"In the first place, Fulham is an old word meaning 'shining' or 'shining person'. Its red Fulham is the honorific title for a leader with hair, and over time it became the name of the Fulham race. "
"Yeah ... there was such a legend." Mirabel continues to Franya, who nods with her surprise and admiration.
"Long ago, it was the red-haired Fulham who created the prosperous Fulham kingdom in the west.
There are many Fulhams who still believe in his return and are waiting.
If this child had been born with red hair, she would have been feted by the Fulham and would have had a tremendous role to play. "
"Fulham's Kingdom ...?"
Again unknown information about Fulham is brought. However, it was just when the question was about to come out of her mouth.
"The master has returned."
The words of the housekeeper, coming from the doorway of the room, drew the attention of franya and Mirabelle. There, along with the housekeeper, was Cyrus .
"Welcome home, my dear."
Mirabelle smiles as she holds Elyse in her arms. He walked up to her and stroked her Elysee's cheeks with his fingertips and Cyrus asks. "Is everything alright?"
"Nothing happened. I was cradling this child with Your Highness."
Cyrus nods and turns to Franya. "Excuse me for Elysee. I am not in position to entertain Your Highness."
"No, it's a very fresh experience and I'm sorry to hear so many interesting stories from Mirabel."
"Thank you for that." Cyrus smiled.
"Are you going to sleep here today?" At Mirabel's question, Cyrus shook his head.
"No, I have to go to the palace for a while. There have been some developments in the city of Narsila."
It seems Franya reacted with a twitch..
The news of the battle between Dimetrio's army and Bardolosh's army and Dimetrio's defeat had already reached the empire. Of course, Franya had heard about it.
Dimetrio had somehow managed to escape, but the safety of Wayne, who was supposed to have been with him, was still unknown.
"... Franya"
"Nanaki, I'm okay. My brother won't die." Franya smiles at Nanaki.
"More than that, Lord Cyrus, what about those two things we talked about before ?"
"I am pleased to inform you that there has just been a development in one of them. There are several people waiting at the Imperial Palace who wish to meet Your Highness. If you would like, you may come with me now. "
"Well, thank you, Lord Cyrus. I will make the necessary preparations."
She worried about her brother. However, the feeling that he will be safe is not a lie. Now Franya knows that what she has to do is not worries his brother.
(I will fulfill my role. So please do the same, brother.)
Believing that her prayers will reach her brother, Franya begins to move.
-----------------------------
Although the prince's army was on the move, Lowellmina was very busy. Lowellmina did not have many men at her disposal.
she is the head of a patriotic faction. Patriotic faction, as the name implies, are a group of people who are worried about the future of the country.
they are under the leadership of lowellmina, who advocates peaceful solutions, they are not a group that is actively working to make her emperor.
Although they are doing their best to collect information on each area,there is an overwhelming lack of manpower to scrutinize the information, and just grasping the situation of the prince's is a struggle.
"So where is the Dimetrio now?"
In response to Lowermina's question, Fyshe pulled out the desired item from a pile of papers and Said "yes. have retreated to the city of velida, where he collecting the remaining troops."
"... ...... I wonder how many of them will return."
If you look at the history books, the side that lost the war is a tragedy. It's easy to say that we're going to make a comeback, but it's not easy.
"I heard that about 3,000 soldiers are currently gathered in the city, but I think 5,000 would be a good number. If the defeat was this great, there would be many who would not return and would flee even if they were still alive. "
"Of the 15,000, 10,000 died or fled?"
A tremendous number. The number of dead was so great that it made me want to vomit just to think of the scene in the battlefield. Furthermore, Baldrosh army dead will also be added here.
"Prince Baldrosh is reorganizing his forces in Narsila. Prince Manfred will have his army in place soon, but how he will move from here remains to be seen. "
"How about Wayne?"
"Unclear. There is no news of his death, so if he is alive, he is still with Prince Demetrio.... "
Hmmm, Lowellmina makes an annoying voice.
The battle between Dimetrio and Bardrosh was settled by the victory of Bardrosh.
This is where the problem begins. How will the various forces move from here?
"And one more thing. Princess Franya making a strange move."
"What is strange?"
"Through Sir Cyrus's, she seems to be trying to make contact with high-ranking officials and the grand chamberlains of the capital."
"Well, she staying in the Imperial City. Taking this opportunity, she acted to expand her network. It's natural to do. But"
If this were a princess from another country, I would have put it away as such. But this is Franya. lowellmina knows firsthand that she that she can't be relax.
"Princess Franya's voice. That's a devilish kind."
Voice quality is important for the politician. If the voice reaches a long distance and permeates your ears, it will be performed by itself.
in this respect, Wayne and lowellmina have good voices. Wayne, for example, can inspire the courage of his troops with his speeches. lowellmina could make them forget their fears.
However, Franya's voice is on another level.
She once moved 30,000 civilians in the city of Meertus with her speeches. Neither Wayne nor lowellmina could do this. To win the hearts and minds of civilians who cannot fight and have no intention of using them, even if they are soldiers, and to make them walk.
That is an uncommon feat.
(She was a card that was played to get me to take a gamble. I thought I had done my part when I turned it off, but what if she had another mission for me: ......?)
Could Franya pull off something like the Meertus in the imperial capital?
I feel the chances are slim. Despite her magical voice, the Meertus case was the result of a combination of factors. But we can't let our guard down.
"Fyshe, do we still have enough manpower?"
"No, but we do if something important"
"Then, strengthen the surveillance of Princess Franya. At least grasp who she met."
"Yes."
The few cards in my hand were getting used more and more. If possible, I would like to have some extra personnel left over in case something happens, but that is not allowed in the current situation.
I wonder if Wayne intended for our hand to be depleted in this way.?
I guess he is trying to make a good impression on the world. Lowellmina had to smack Wayne in the head. It was then that she heard a voice.
" Excuse me!" A messenger jumped into the room.
"What happened suddenly?"
While asking, Lowellmina a bead of sweat forming on her face as she had a bad premonition.
"Prince Baldrosh prepares to hold a baptismal ceremony in the city of Narsila.!"
I felt that Wayne is pulling strings, who should have smiling.
---------------------------
Glenn noticed that shortly after the decisive battle with the Dimetrio army was over.
In the first place, when the Baldrosh army occupied Narsila, the inhabitants of Narsila reacted with great opposition. The Baldrosh forces had entered the spiritual symbol of the empire with their feet and interfered with the venerable baptismal ceremony.
The "I'm not a fan of this" attitude. That is as it should be. Now that they had defeated Demetrio's army, the baptismal ceremony was sure to be suspended. The residents' feelings toward us will get even worse, Glenn thought.
(And yet, what is this?) Glenn, who is part of the patrol inside the city of Narsila, sees the residents in a strangely cheerful mood.
At first, he thought it might be the residents of Narsila who were happy about the victory of the Baldrosh forces, but this buoyant atmosphere is not confined to a few residents, but is spreading throughout the city.
(Once the postwar process is over, we will withdraw from Narsila. Is it a joy at being liberated in the not-too-distant future? But then again, there's .......) While Glenn was pondering this in the patrolmen's station, his subordinate arrived in a hurry. "Captain Glenn, I'm back!" He was a man from Narsila, a local who had been sent to investigate this puzzling situation. "Well, have you found anything out?" His report was unexpected.
"That's why I'm here at ............. The source is not certain, but apparently there are rumors circulating in the city that Baldrosh will soon be baptized." Glenn frowned.
"What are you talking about? We are planning to withdraw soon?"
"Yes, I'm aware of that, but for some reason, that seems to be what the residents are talking about. "
It was true that the residents of Narsila were more concerned about the baptismal ceremony and less attached to Prince Dimetrio himself.
Since Prince Dimetrio was defeated, it is natural to assume that Prince Baldrosh is the most suitable candidate for the imperial throne.
(However, if that had happened in reality, it would have been ......) Glen's back was sweating. He stood up, knowing that this was a bad idea.
"Do you know the source of the rumor?"
"Some people stories saw an unfamiliar person when they heard the rumors. but they don't know if there is a connection ?"
"Where was the sighted place?"
Pull out the map and spread it on a table at hand
