Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 172.1

Burning in the Hot Desert

The Khalfaan Empire, a great country in the west, consisting of an emperor’s family and four grand dukes, borders the sea to the south, and its land was composed of huge grasslands and deserts, where trade and livestock farming were thriving.

In this land, where there were very few thick trees and high-quality stones that could be used for building materials, sandstone was used for most of the buildings. To protect the buildings from the sea wind, plaster mixed with a special chemical was applied on top of the sandstone, and the terraced white buildings lined up in rows.

The ship belonged to the Cleydale Kingdom of the East, a great noble family known as the Melrose family, formerly known as the royal family, and this visit was unofficial but also official.

“Still no permission?”

Two men and a woman were confronting each other in the mansion of the lord who governs the port town. They were not alone in the room, and the person in charge of guarding them was behind them, but the pressure of the woman’s smile that uttered those words made it impossible for him to interrupt her, and the man sitting on the sofa, who was directly facing the pressure, wiped the sweat running down his forehead, which had recently become wider, with his handkerchief.

“Yes, I understand what you are saying, Lady Layton. I understand, but…ah, of course, our empire will spare no pains to cooperate fully. However, there are some who are not comfortable with the use of our security network without disclosing information about the target of the search, or with the use of your dark side or adventurers in the empire…”

The Cruzian man’s apologetic words gradually diminish as Sera gazed at him.

Bert, the Prime Minister of the Cleydale Kingdom, who had received an order from the royal family to search for the princess, sent his most reliable men in the dark side and his strongest adventurers to the west.

Sera, a baroness with the same skin as the imperials, and Dalton, a baronet, an honorary dwarven noble, went to the imperial capital, had an audience with the emperor, and asked for his cooperation in protecting and searching for a certain personage.

However, the name of “Princess Elena” was not made public. Even if she was accompanied by an escort of the same sex, the disappearance of a princess of a country could cause a lot of publicity. Therefore, only the emperor and a few high-ranking nobles, including the prime minister, were informed of the details, and they promised to cooperate as a friendly nation, but as one would expect, using the imperial guards and the dark side would require a certain amount of “good cause.

The biggest problem was that they might not be on the side of the Khalfaan Empire, for sure.

The information that the princess and her escort were sent to this area was a “highly probable” location as attested to by Carla, who can use transfer sorcery, but it was not confirmed information. Therefore, the Cleydale Kingdom could not send out a large search party to this area, and since it was not possible to do so on a large scale, Sera, the wife of a middle-class nobleman, was assigned to the negotiations, and the kingdom could not force the empire to do so.

However, Sera was convinced that Elena’s location was in the direction of the Khalfaan Empire.

This was because she was, in a sense, the most untrustworthy and dangerous person, and her statement, which had a history with Aria, was always meaningful and the most reliable. That was why I obtained permission to disclose information to the Khalfaan Empire that I had not disclosed to other countries.
