Achoo!
In the court, everyone looked at the queen sitting on the throne... watched her rub her nose, and then listened as she said, "Regarding the recent war... Ah... Ah... Achoo~"

Achoo!
Isabella's repeated sneezes made Marilla shake her head helplessly, and she reached out to drape her large coat over the little king... even though she was already wearing a thick dragon robe.
Wearing clothes like this in early summer... the weather is getting weirder and weirder.
However, after putting on the large coat, and with Isabella wrapping herself up so that only her head was showing, she seemed to feel a little better... at least she stopped sneezing so much.
Although the royal family's etiquette and dignity have suffered a significant loss, with those aspects gradually declining, resembling a child playing under the covers with only their head peeking out, it is a testament to the decline of these traditions.
Although Isabella doesn't pay much attention to this now.
"Regarding the recent fighting, has the sudden cold weather had any particularly significant impact?"
As Ilsa Bella asked her question, the ministers below exchanged glances, not knowing much about the matter... Ulrisila, on the other hand, was now one of the people with a more detailed understanding of the specifics of the battle.
Everyone knows that the current situation is very good, and the land that was originally deliberately abandoned is gradually being reclaimed, but they don't know the specifics.
"Your Majesty, if you are feeling unwell, would you really like to try my [Panacea]?"
The chestnut-haired girl with glasses said this, and in response to her suggestion, Isabella hesitated for a moment before saying, "I will consider your suggestion, Lady Gureira... but not now."
Isabella said this, but she didn't say the rest of her sentence aloud—"Because I am afraid of death."
It's not that I'm worried about Grella harming her, but... an alchemist concocted a potion that claims to cure all diseases. Would anyone really dare to try drinking it? What if they wake up as a frog the next day?
Moreover, it's strange for alchemists to concoct potions, just as strange for mages to concoct gold or crystal gems.
However, Isabella wouldn't say these things directly. After all, the most basic etiquette taught by Isabella was there for all to see. As for her questions about the battlefield, only Marila, as the current chief executive officer, knew the answers more clearly.
"The situation is excellent... Temperature is meaningless to the Archon and the alien beasts summoned by Death Trigger."
As Marilla spoke, she stood to Isabella's right... where Caligula had originally been, and now Isabella's left side was empty, which looked quite abrupt.
Logically speaking, if Marilla is the only one present, she should sit in front of Isabella, while if she is Isabella's elder, she would be entitled to stand behind her.
However, no one raised any objection to the incongruous scene... On one hand, everyone knew who the vacant position of "Left Venerable" belonged to; on the other hand...
Do you have any objections? Do you dare to say them to Isabella?
"On the contrary, the sudden cold has had a huge impact on the Duchy of Hazard... while the only impact on the Empire is that we may not be able to advance into the Duchy's original borders in one fell swoop."
Marilla said this, and Isabella had no objection to it.
“I know, Lord Marilla… With so many civilians dead and wounded, it is already difficult to expand territory. Even if we conquer it, we cannot hold it, let alone more territory. I am not a greedy king, nor do I have any intention of establishing a vulgar career.”
As she spoke, Isabella truly lived up to her reputation as a queen. Her short words concealed four potential meanings, each of which could make her subjects more stable and obedient.
Wisdom (Am I smart?), stance (I'm on the same side as Yinla), interests (the nobles are all dead, the pie is huge), distribution (mine is Yinla's, yours is yours)... I've made it all very clear.

"Sister, the snow is so beautiful..."
Watching her younger sister happily jumping around, Cassie smiled and nodded. She looked up at the sky... watching the snowflakes fall little by little, unaware that the heavy snow was a disaster covering the whole world, she rested her chin on her hand.
With the literary skills of an elf (Vera: ...), Cassiopeia slowly wrote something on the letter paper... Then, at some point, she finished the letter, thought about it, but decided not to send it. Instead, she stuffed it under the table.
To be honest, I'm a little shy...
"Wow! What are you writing, sister?"
"Gurgle!"
Cassie let out a strange cry as she watched her sister take the letter and then read its contents aloud... She didn't try to snatch it back, but instead awkwardly covered her eyes.
"Yinla, how have you been lately?"
Cassiopeia's younger sister, this little elf, recited the words, then immediately looked at her older sister with a grin, making an "Oh~~~~" sound, and continued reciting—
"Actually, I don't quite understand why I sometimes have the urge to share things with you, but..."
"Whenever I see the crimson Silver Moon Forest under the morning glow, the shimmering Silver Moon Forest under the dark night sky, the Silver Moon Forest shrouded in twilight at dawn... I want to say something to you."
As the elven loli read this aloud, her expression gradually changed from playful to serious. She began to immerse herself in Cassiopeia's letter, reading: "I'm sorry, Illa... Silvermoon Tree Garden is beautiful, but it's just a forest. You might get a little tired of it, right?"
“But you share your past, you talk about the dungeons, the adventures, the labyrinths, and Avalon, and I think... it was a truly beautiful experience.”
"When we first met, you always smiled gently, but the last time we met, you didn't seem very happy... So, I want to share with you what I think is beautiful, will that make you feel better?"
"Yinla, today at the Silver Moon Tree Garden..."
"It's snowing."
"..."
After reading Cassiopeia's letter, the little elf was deeply shocked. She looked at her embarrassed and shy sister with astonishment—she couldn't believe that her sister's writing wasn't heartfelt.
In her heart, she was already certain—her sister had fallen!
After thinking for a moment, the little girl nodded seriously, then took the letter and ran quickly towards the upper level of the Silver Moon Royal Court Tree, shouting as she ran, "Dad! Dad, come quick! My sister is ruined!"
!
"..."
Casiopeia: What do you mean by "I'm useless?"
Casiopeia: "Wait! Hold on!"
