Side story: The existence of Milimos Nonette
Holy Knight Nation Mudou Beniornatal.
After regular battles with the Empire, there was a being that became a hot topic these days as they strengthened the training of soldiers and knights.
Milimos Nonette. An insignificant and youngest prince who was born in a small country and has many older siblings.
Initial reports said that was the case, but now he has become a noteworthy presence that the knights are interested in.
Prince Milimos did something like that--a chance that caught the attention of the King of Knights, Teletutos Elegiamania Mudo.
That was after the knight Familis Telestazired went to mediate the talks between the Nonette country and the Empire regarding the territory of the Mendasium country. A report came in from the Knight Family that a certain second daughter, Princess Palbella, had been given her own dagger by someone, and that person was Prince Milimos in question.
This fact was viewed as a problem by people in the political field of the Knights' Kingdom.
“Even though Princess Pulvera had no way of knowing because it was a battlefield, giving a dagger with the knightly royal family emblem to a prince from another country could lead to a serious situation! I think I should take the dagger out of his hands!”
That claim is correct.
If you use a dagger with the emblem of a knightly kingdom, you can meet someone and exchange words with them.
On the other hand, if Prince Milimos were to have ambition and use the dagger, he would be able to use the power of a knightly kingdom to intimidate other small countries.
Of course, such an imitation is not the correct way to use a dagger with the emblem of a knightly kingdom, so the Black Knight will probably be ordered to retrieve it. However, even after that, depending on what you do, you can act as if you are still holding the dagger and continue to intimidate.
Although there is such a dangerous possibility, Prince Milimos does not have any flaws at the moment. On the contrary, even in the war when they were invaded by other countries, and when they held talks with the empire, they could have used the dagger in question and asked for help from the knightly kingdom, but they did not do so.
Therefore, it is difficult to accept the arguments of someone in the political field and take away the dagger from him.
A certain person pondered things over and over, and spoke simply and gravely, like a king of knights.
"No. Look at his prince's movements."
Those in the political field bowed their heads in shock at those words.
It would also be so. A certain person is not only a king, but also the pinnacle of knighthood. Although he does not go as far as the general of the Holy Knights, he boasts similar skills in sacred arts and swordsmanship.
There is no way someone in the political field, who only has human strength, could stand strong against a being that has the destructive power of a living typhoon.
However, even though the idea of taking it away from Prince Milimos was rejected, the fact that a prince from another country is in possession of a dagger with the knight royal family's emblem still has to be viewed as a problem.
I decided to order the Black Knight to monitor Prince Milimos' movements and personality exclusively, and decided to do so.
After that, not much time had passed since the country of Nonette and the country of Rocha were at war, and news came that Prince Milimos had taken the lead and defeated the army of the country of Rocha.
Although the country of Roccia is one of the small countries, it is famous as a country that makes the best weapons and armor on the eastern side of the continent. I hear that even the Empire pays close attention and imports these weapons.
How did the Nonette country, which only had territory the size of the tip of a fingernail and was not even heard of as strong, defeat such a powerful country?
When I read the report from the Black Knight that had been attached to Prince Milimos, I was half impressed and half shocked.
As if speaking for someone's inner feelings, a person in the political field yelled out in surprise.
"Is this report correct? What about the fact that that prince took advantage of the Black Knight's surveillance and fought using divine magic!?"
That question is the most important. Therefore, a certain person turned his attention to the leader of the Black Knights.
Then, the Black Knight Commander began to speak with pride, as if to say that he had nothing to be ashamed of.
"I, as the leader, guarantee that the report is correct. Milimos Nonette is a natural who has awakened to divine magic without using the secret arts of the chivalry."
These words had a shocking impact on the leaders of the Holy Knight Country.
This was because it was believed that if one could obtain the cooperation of those who could use divine magic naturally, one could move divine magic to a higher stage.
The natural man she had been waiting for was the prince to whom Pulvera had given her a dagger.
Fate is a strange thing.
If Prince Milimos was not the son of a king, even if he was from a small country, he would have explained the situation and invited him to the Holy Knight Country.
However, from the standpoint of national defense, it is difficult to have the princes of other countries involved in the research of sacred arts, which is the strength of the Holy Knights nation.
Now, as I was wondering what to do, Palvera stepped forward and asked for permission to speak.
When a certain person nods and forgives him, Palvera begins to speak in a dignified manner.
“Father, no, I have a request from the King of Knights, Teletutos Elegiamania Mudou. Please entrust me with the task of monitoring Prince Milimos Nonette.”
The executives let out a murmur of confusion at the unexpected request from an unexpected person.
A certain person raised his hand to quiet the atmosphere, and with his gaze urged Palvera to continue speaking.
"With this incident, Prince Milimos has become a person that the knightly kingdom should keep an eye on. And from the beginning, the fact that I handed over the dagger to Prince Milimos was considered a problem."
There is nothing wrong with Palvera's understanding of the current situation. No voice of restraint was raised from the others.
"So, I thought that I should take responsibility for the problem by going to Prince Milimos, monitoring his movements, and guiding him to prevent any trouble from occurring."
Pulvera's claim was correct, and there were many benefits for the knightly nation.
Although Palvera is a certain biological child, she is not good at sacred arts due to her gentle nature. He also became frightened during the previous war with the Empire, and made the mistake of losing a knight who was guarding him. Therefore, he was no longer in a position to aspire to become the next King of Knights. In the future, it was almost certain that she would marry one of his subordinate knights or the royal family of a neighboring and friendly country.
However, if you marry a princess from a knightly royal family, the voice of the bride's family or country will inevitably increase. There were also people in the political field who saw this as a problem, and the talks about the transfer were not moving forward.
From the above, it may be hard to say, but the use of Palvera was closed.
However, placing Prince Milimos on a long-term monitoring mission will lead to solving these problems all at once.
The problem with the dagger and the blunder of losing the knight should be reduced by completing the surveillance mission.
The issue of transportation could also be resolved by using the period of observation missions.
It was thought that it would be much better than living in the Holy Knight Country with such narrow feelings.
"I accept Parvera's request. I give you the mission of closely monitoring Milimos Nonette. However, I will not set a time limit. I will not allow you to return mid-way without a reason. Be prepared to leave the country for a long time."
Although he presented severe conditions, Palvera's mind did not change. In fact, he even looked happy.
"Thank you, Father. Now, I will go to Prince Milimos."
I asked Palvera who bowed and was about to leave with a bound.
"Take the knight Familis Telestazired with you. He is your guardian."
“Thank you again and again, Father!”
Palvera declared without hiding her joy and left the throne room.
I thought Prince Milimos' behavior would become quieter after Pulvera went to monitor him, but that was not the case.
“Knight Family reports that they have counterattacked the country of Ambitos, which started a war for no reason, and have turned it into their territory in the blink of an eye!”
“We have received news from the Black Knight that the Roccia region has experienced tremendous development since it was a country!”
``Prince Milimos is now able to use sacred magic and magic at the same time, and Princess Pulvera has sent a letter saying that the Knight Family will have fun training!''
“This time, in response to the request of the Hartaut country, we have decided to go to war with the Ferokony and Prunya countries!”
With the reports coming in one after another, even the honest knights of the Holy Knights Kingdom are gossiping about Prince Milimos.
“I have heard that he is a direct disciple of the Knight Family, but I wonder how strong he is, capable of quickly defeating enemy countries one after another.”
"It's probably not just his skill with swords and sacred magic. It should be seen that he's also good at trickery."
"He seems to be a capable administrator. He built hard roads in his territory, and when there was a rebellion, he was able to quickly suppress it."
I can understand why the knights are paying so much attention.
If you look at the detailed report, you will see that Prince Milimos did not want the war to happen, and that he destroyed the enemy country and gained territory according to his needs.
However, there are few people who have been able to destroy so many countries and gain territory in such a short period of just a few years.
Moreover, there must have been very few people who originally came from a small country that could easily fly away, and who achieved this status not as a king but as a lord in charge of a territory.
I remember that the only real-life example of proof that this was not a heroic legend was when the first knight king of the holy knight nation was young.
As the King of Knights, I am wondering whether I should praise Prince Milimos for his greatest accomplishment since the first King of Knights, or whether I should recognize him as a new threat next to the Empire.
There is no problem with Prince Milimos's personality. When she found out that Prince Milimos was the person that Pulvera was in love with, she knew that he was good enough to accept their friendship, albeit reluctantly.
――Hmm, I see.
Is there a way to solve the issue of Palvera's surrender and prevent Prince Milimos from turning into a threat to the Holy Knights Kingdom?
A certain person summoned the leader of the knight order and the top of the political field and made a declaration.
"Marriage Palvera to Prince Milimos. Prepare like that."
The knight commander obediently obeyed a certain order, and those in the political field chanted their will.
"Are you going to marry Princess Parvella to her youngest brother, the prince, who has a doubtful chance of inheriting the throne of a small country? To begin with, he is currently in the middle of a war. He might die in battle, and all the preparations would be wasted. I’ll get it!”
There is nothing wrong with my understanding of the current situation, but someone had a hunch.
"Prince Milimos will win. And he will expand his territory. In the first place, there is no reason for someone who has a territory larger than his home country to seek the throne of his home country."
Although he spoke for a little too long, it was probably the amount of words needed to convince people in the political field.
In fact, those in the political field were convinced and retracted their statements.
Now, it has been decided that Palvera will marry Prince Milimos.
But before we make the final decision, we'll have to see his face in person.
A certain person's parent too. For the sake of his daughter's happiness, I need to find out who he is.
Thanks for the chapter
