Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 168.3
“You guys, first, this is more about Her Highness the Princess than Aria. As soon as she arrives at the port, I’m going to the royal castle with her to talk to the prime minister of the country. Mira will be my escort, and Viro and Feld will be in charge of buying wagons and food.”
“Okay.”
“Mira will be your escort?”
Viro twisted his head as Mira gave a light reply to Dalton’s words.
If there was something to negotiate, Viro would normally be present, and since Feld was still a nobleman, it would be acceptable to bring him along to meet with them. Dalton’s face turned sullen as Viro expressed this.
“…They don’t come out publicly, but in this country, there’s also the Dark Elf. If she accidentally meets Mira…”
“Oh~…I see.”
Mira, a Forest Elf, smiled unusually belligerently upon hearing the words Dark Elf.
The white-skinned Forest Elf and Dark Elf hated each other. It was said that this had been the case even before the Dark Elf were referred to as demons, and that their prejudice against each other had been solidified by hearing their parents complain about each other for generations.
Mira herself had lost her prejudice against Dark Elves after living in the city for a hundred years, but not against the Demon Tribe. This was due to the fact that she had been agitated by a demon she had met on the battlefield decades ago, and even now, when she sees a Dark Elf, she would let out a murderous rage as if it were a conditioned reflex.
“Ladies and gentlemen of Rainbow Sword, have you finished your preparations?”
At that moment, as if she had expected them to finish their conversation, a woman with a leather suitcase and parasol approached them.
“This is Baroness Layton, we will be done by the time they arrive.”
“I’ll be looking forward to working with you then, won’t I?”
Dalton and Lady Layton bowed to each other, and Viro, who had not finished his preparations, frowned at the words that were probably said to him.
Baroness Sera Layton.
She was the senior attendant of the royal family and a dark side member in charge of security protecting the Queen’s Palace.
Normally, a higher-ranking nobleman would have been sent to negotiate with the Khalfaan Empire, but at the request of His Majesty the King, who was concerned about his daughter’s safety, she was sent because she was the most trusted and well-known to important people in various countries.
Normally, she was dressed only in a maid’s uniform, but today she was clad in a dark blue, sober-looking adult dress.
“As you all know, the first priority is the safety of Her Highness the Princess. Of course, we hope to rescue her escort, Aria, as soon as possible, but the priority is to bring Her Highness home.”
Aria, although adopted, was still her daughter, but perhaps she was trying to keep her public life separate from her private life. However–
“I wish you all the very best in your endeavors. I will also spare you my utmost assistance. If any of the foolish nobles of the Khalfaan Empire get involved to interfere with saving His Highness or his daughter, I will physically remove them.”
“”…””
Dalton and Feld were silenced by the neat lady’s sudden radical statement.
Rumor claimed that she had forced her son, who had been insisting on saving his “sister,” to board the ship.
Viro, who had known about Sera’s vehemence for a long time, muttered a sigh.
“…Whatever you say, you’re the one who loves him the most, aren’t you?”
“Did you say something?
“I didn’t say anything!”
