ED/PF:
Kaoru Chapter 26: Visitors 2
「Is Kaoru here?」(Francette)
The female knight Francette came to the workshop. She seems a little panicked.
「Actually, yesterday a diplomatic message came from a neighboring country …」(Francette)
Kaoru had a bad feeling with what Francette said.
(No no no… Even if she says neighboring country, there are four countries adjacent to this country …) (Kaoru)
「which country?」(Kaoru)
「From the Brancott Kingdom」(Fran)
(I knew it …) (Kaoru)
With how things are, Kaoru can somewhat predict what it is, just to be sure she continues asking Francette.
「So, who is the envoy?」(Kaoru)
「It’s the first prince!」(Francette)
Aaaahh ……
It didn’t really matter who it was since his role was an envoy, but it was still frustrating to know that it’s the first prince.
「He said, There’s a girl named Kaoru that I want to meet.」(Francette)
The king and the cabinet ministers feel troubled by this. They don’t want him to meet Kaoru and they don’t really know what his purpose for meeting her is.
They can’t really lie about Kaoru since her whereabouts are well-known by the people.
Among those people, there are aristocrats, nobles, and merchants who wish to have a connection with the prince from Brancott Kingdom. Even if they managed to lie about Kaoru, there still might be someone who would want to garner favor from the prince.
Therefore, Francette came to warn Kaoru of the circumstances.
「Ahh, so troublesome, let’s deal with him and send him back quickly.
I can’t bother the workshops, have him meet me at Baron Lyotal’s house.
I still need to adjust my schedule for the next few days, I’ll probably be able to meet him in the afternoon around this week.」 (Kaoru)
I can’t afford to be late preparing the meal for everyone in the workshop or miss a few of my chores just so I could meet the first prince.
「I understand, I will tell Roland-sama」(Francette)
*** Evening of the same day ***
Fernand, the first prince of Brancott Kingdom, was in a good mood
Finally he can see Kaoru.
Moreover, he seems to have heard about Kaoru’s announcement
「I will enter the King’s Castle」
Which means that Kaoru has a bad relationship with the royal palace and he heard that a low-ranking baron is taking care of Kaoru.
「Since it’s just a low-ranking noble, I could just threaten him a bit to make him give Kaoru to me.」 (Fernand)
「No. No matter what, you must respect Kaoru’s will.
Did you forget what happened, Fernand?」(Fabio)
Fabio stabbed a nail in Fernand’s thoughts.
「Well … yeah … but … 」(Fernand)
He stabbed a nail, but that was because Fabio didn’t think everything was that simple. He had prepare something to convince Kaoru to come back to them.
He had investigated Kaoru and it seems that she was having some trouble with the King and Nobles, almost similar to that time when she was in our country.
With this, it should be difficult for her to live a normal life here.
However, in the Brancott Kingdom, although there was a rumor about a commoner girl who rejected the prince’s proposal, this rumor was only spread to a certain extent and the details have only been confined to the reaches of the nobles.
Because of this, the name and appearance of the girl was kept secret.
Perhaps she can live a normal life in the Brancott kingdom as a different person.
But the problem was, would this country let go of Kaoru?
According to the reports made by the spies, It isn’t that the people of this country won’t hand Kaoru over, But it’s just that Kaoru can’t simply leave the country.
It is well-known by now that Kaoru is an existence beloved by the goddess, thus she is an important beacon for the people of this country. (ED/PF okay i think it’s a bit confusing here but what I think he meant was, if Kaoru leaves the country then it would be in turmoil since people would think that the Goddess has forsaken them.)
Also, even without the goddess’ blessing, Kaoru herself possess great wisdom …
To what extent did the aristocrats and royalty of this country recognize those things about her?
Would they still consider handing Kaoru over to them even if the King of Brancott’s Kingdom would threaten their country
Fabio can’t predict everything just from the reports.
「Anyway, do not speak arrogantly, do not say bad things, let’s bring it to a friendly atmosphere first, listen to the current situation of Kaoru, apologize to her, and hopefully she would forgive us… 」
「I understood, let’s go with that」
Fernand agreed with what Fabio said.
*** 2 days later ***
Fernand, Fabio, Alan, along with the king’s brother Roland and the Chancellor were guarded safely to Baron Lyotal’s house.
Many greetings were lined up in front of the baron’s residence.
A few people are guided to the back whereas several guards were placed in front of the mansion.
During the reception, the figure of the Baron of this house, Lyotard and his third son Acyl appeared.
After all respective introductions and greetings were in order, the door opened and a single girl came in.
「「「Kaoru!!」」」
Three people shouting with their waist floating.
「Or, what about scars on your face? 」
「It was ok but it was okay … 」
The girl who heard the wonderful words of the words of the three people, with a grim face, said with a convincing expression like that, ah.
「How do you do. Everyone, are you my imouto’s acquaintance? 」
「「「Huh? 」」」(Prince Trio)
「I am Alpha · Kaoru · Nagase, it seems you have taken care of my Imouto Milfa · Kaoru · Nagase」(Kaoru)
「「「Yeah yeah yeah ~~~ !!!」」」
「Oh, you did not talk about that girlfriend? I escaped from the country, soon I broke up to sprinkle pursuers.
I thought that I would meet again one day, It surely stood by neighboring countries … That girl, is she doing well? 」
A scar of the face, something unrelated, such as safe and sound, is a through-going kaoru.
「No, no, that is … 」
Three people in trouble with replying. It can not be said that he was injured and was missing.
「So which one of the two gentlemen here is having relationship with that girl? 」
Alan and Fabio are surprised at the words of Kaoru smiling.
「Why are these two?」(Fernand)
Fernand queries with a face that he can not accept it.
「It’s a taste of that girl.
A strong, wild, sincere man and an intelligent and gentle man.
A man who caring for everyone inclue the girl he love.
And a man who will become a fine gentleman when he grows older …」(Kaoru)
「Oh, I…!」
「Oh that's right, because of our patriarchal grandfather, Both I and that girl dislike men who are overwhelmed, and decided our life as they life …」
Fernand is amazed at the words of Khaoru.
Alan and Fabio are somewhat sorry to see that.
「I’d like to ask.
Can Milfa use the goddess healing power like you?」(Fabio)
To Fabio’s question, Kaoru shook her head.
「No, I’m the only one who becomes friend of Ceres. Ceres doesn't selects friend with face.
Even though we have the same face, I and my sister are completely different people.
That girl escaped with me, as well as the power of my healing, was aimed at his superior wisdom and talent.
But I was in trouble. I thought that I wanted to enrich this country, but if that girl was in a neighbor country, I will take all the delicious places … 」
Towards a troubled face, three people have a bitter face.
「Well, can't Alpha come to the Kingdom of Brancott! If you wish to live with your sister …」(Alan)
Kaoru shakes her head again to Alan' invitation.
「That is useless.
When we get together in one country, the balance between the powers of the countries collapses and it is likely to cause a dispute, and I am sorry to run away.
And there will also be opportunity to meet again」
「「「………」」」
If this girl is a different person from that Kaoru, there is no reason to claim to take him back to the Kingdom of Brancott.
By force of bringing a girl from another country for the first time forcibly, indeed it will not be convinced of the king and the Balmoa kingdom.
That also, an important worthy girl.
There is nothing to talk about.
Fernand one row who depressed his mind and left the Lyotal family.
***
「… Hey, do you think she is really a sister? 」
「Even if that is really my older sister, even if you are the principal of kaoru … 」
Fabio of astringent expression answers Alan’s question.
「There seems to be no mistake that there is no intention of coming to the Kingdom of Brancott and that Fernand is not interested at all」
In that word, Fernan had a face of despair.
And Alan and Fabio, if Fernan came to the dining room together the other day.
If you go with Alan and Fabio alone, then slowly deepen your friendship, and now you can be caught up in an unreasonable thought even though you think about it anymore.
「Oh, it’s done, it’s over! To be expected, if it were you, I will not spend a bit more time!」
Everyone in subtle facial expression to the kaoru who stretches out with a strong face.
「Um, are you really a younger sister, are you? 」
Francette that everyone tells out what they thought they wanted to confirm, though they knew.
「I do not have that kind of problem, I guess you know me, but what are you talking about, this child! 」
(((That’s it ~ ……))))
Even if we had a lot of attention to the prince against the kaoru, we all drew a lot.
