The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
He came to borrow weapons from me, and he even went to look for my childhood sweetheart, the Marquis...
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, this princess should be affectionate and righteous, but the current Seria is no longer the little princess in the story. From the Seria that Sean knows, she has the mentality of a female politician.
So I was surprised when I heard that she actually had a fiancé designated since childhood, and it was a princess-knight story!
"But...is the story you told before true?" Frelia asked.
In fact, before Seria arrived, Sean told Frelia about her and the scene in the hall where Seria insisted on going there despite everyone's opposition.
Even Frelia was surprised when she heard it!
Although she had not had much contact with the other party, she had a brief exchange with Seria at the wedding. Frelia, who had seen a lot of fame and fortune, defined the other party as a sophisticated and selfish politician at first impression. Who would have thought that there was such a romantic scene many years ago.
The carriage had already disappeared. Frelia looked at the road outside the manor and sighed to herself, "This person changes so quickly."
"It was pretty fast," Sean agreed.
"But... do you know why your sister came to ask you for weapons this time?" Frelia suddenly looked at Sean and asked.
He looked up and thought for a moment. Although he wasn't quite sure, on the one hand, he might have considered that using artillery to attack at sea would have advantages. On the other hand...
"Perhaps she wants this former knight to help her."
"Help her?"
Sean nodded and said, "Well, I have Melsusa, the commander of the Royal Guard, and the Crown of the Sun, who you will lead in the future. Mudan at least has a large number of imperial troops. Seria's words are a bit awkward. On the surface, she has a lot of influence among many nobles, but most of this influence comes from her status and her unmarried status. She should understand this."
In fact, if you look closely, you will find that Princes Sean and Prince Mudan have a lot of support and are very loyal, while Prince Seria is more erratic.
It can be said to be an aristocratic faction, but the aristocratic faction is the most chaotic.
There are also some who stand on the other side, and even more people are completely fence-sitters... Relying on this kind of faction will not bring any good results in the end, and it will be good enough if you don't get stabbed in the back.
And from the current perspective, the reason why some nobles are willing to follow Seria is probably because of her own identity.
The daughter of the Sun King, the princess of Jagon... If she eventually married any noble, it would only benefit the other family. Seria probably knew this, so she had always been very careful to maintain her relationship with each noble, just "ambiguous" but never really favoring any family, otherwise such a relationship would be broken.
Tsk~
This may seem quite scheming, but since she is a girl, you can't say anything about it.
But even though the advantages are great, the disadvantages are also great...
It is impossible for Seria to always maintain a balance among the various nobles, and as mentioned before, the noble faction is the most chaotic force, so she must make some choices among them.
Marquis Anu Kobila is probably one of them.
After listening to Sean's story, Frelia asked curiously, "Then are you still willing to give her the weapon?"
"After all, this concerns the safety of the residents of the empire, so of course I have to give it to them. I don't regard that thing as a trump card. The imperial military factory still has imitations... We may not make it even if we can get it, and even if we do, there may not be any changes. As long as Jagun is stable for a long time, the sales of these weapons will not be as high as those of civilian products." Sean explained.
"Besides, what's important for us now is to investigate the source of the ghosts."
Personally speaking, Sean has not really become a calculating person over the years. Maybe it's because he has lived as an ordinary person for decades. Although he suddenly became a nobleman, his mentality has not completely changed.
Over the years, I have always had a little leeway in everything I do, and it is not yet to the point where I will wipe out all possible opponents for the sake of profit.
The current threat to Jagun is those sea ghosts of unknown origin, and the rest can be dealt with later!
"Well, I've already asked Mierke to take some members of the Sun Crown to the southeast to reunite with Lucille, but she said it's going to be difficult to find her."
Well……
The topic suddenly turned to his mentor Sean, who was also helpless.
There was no news of her after she left, and neither the Sun Crown nor the Survey Corps could find her.
Sean is the one who knows her transformation tricks best. If she intentionally hides herself, there probably won't be many people in this world who can find her...
"Forget about the tutor. She'll come back on her own after she figures things out. If she encounters any problems, she'll naturally seek help."
"Oh, and Prince Tour and the others said they would come over later."
Sean listened to today's arrangements.
Even if you become a prince, once you really have to do something, there is no time to rest... Sometimes I really envy those people who can go on missions outside, get their high remuneration, and travel around!
"Okay, let them come."
Holding Frelia's hand, he returned to his manor...
……………………
The next day, Seria received some artillery and muskets, as well as a lot of special ammunition and grenades from the industrial zone.
These firearms are actually rare in desert warfare.
