Chapter 111
Royal capital Adoria .
I watched the grand enthronement ceremony that the kingdom held within the crowd .
The castle town that is rowdy celebrating, and stall pubs .
And from thereーーI looked at Fiona and Marie at a distance that one would normally be unable to see from without using a telescope .
The two of them appeared on the palace balcony and waved their hands to the crowd .
Instantly, the whole town was showered with cheers .
『Those two . They became like it』
「That’s true . They became beautiful」
『It might be incomparable when I first met her . She was just a weak girl that can be found anywhere at that time』
Eleanor is talking about Marie .
She probably feels something for Marie because she had once possessed her .
「Well! Thank goodness it succeeded . Thanks for the help, Delfina」
I said that and stared at Delfina who had sat quietly in front of me from earlier .
A woman’s long hat and black silk dress .
She’s a good woman who has both intelligence and charm at a high level .
「I would need to say thanks to Kakeru-sama as well . I was able to profit in this enthronement ceremony in a fold after all」
『She’s cunning as usual . She did not only lend them money, but even influenced what that money would be used for』
Eleanor said .
That is right, she lent money .
The money that was used for this enthronement ceremony is something that the Siracuza Kingdom borrowed from Delfina .
The kingdom’s treasury is almost empty because of the long war, but even so, they couldn’t not held an enthronement ceremony, and they cannot do it shabbily too .
And so, Delfina volunteered to lend them money when they needed it .
「Although it might be wrong for me to say thisーーwas it really alright? Lending it」
「There would be quite a lot of profits even if the interest rate is less than usual with that amount . Also, Kakeru-sama have given collateral as well」
Delfina made a cunning smile .
「As expected huh」
「Thank you for the compliment」
It is unprecedented for a country to borrow from one individual merchant, but it seemed that this would be the best way to do it .
The enthronement ceremony is grandly opened like this using the money from Delfina .
The reality of the extravagant ceremony and the princess of the Siracuza returned from a commoner then became a Queen made the public excited .
The cannon salute that was shot to the sky echoed .
There was 17 shots coming from the Siracuza’s unique divine number 17 .
Soon after, a flower path that extends from the balcony .
The flower path extended to my place .
Attention gathered towards me . Delfina had disappeared when I noticed it .
A clever, good woman .
『Shall we go then』
『Let’s go!』
The Demon Sword mother and daughter said .
I stood up and advanced through the flower path .
I did not only advance, I went towards the Queens with the Demon Sword’s powerーーclad in dark robes of aura .
The rowdy celebratory castle town had turned silent at once .
*Gokuri*, it was so silent that swallowing sounds could even be heard .
I took my time reaching the palace, and went up the balcony .
And there, I faced Fiona and Marie who are in their queen appearance .
「Kakeru-saーー」
I secretly gestured Fiona who was about to call me like「Shh」 .
Fiona realized something and changed it .
And, with a clear voice .
「Great General Kakeru」
「Well done」
Following her big sister, Marie said .
She had a soft voice, but a voice that would make the people who hear it calm down .
The two of them had different types, but what common wasーーthey had the dignity of a Queen .
I kneeled in front of them and reached out the thing that I brought .
「As you have commanded, I have gone and take it back」
What I reached out were rings, two big sized rings .
The royal family’s ring .
The people who have confirmed that nearby buzzes and that instantly spread .
「This, to its rightful master」
「Well done, Great General Kakeru」
「To praise you of your achievement, we shall give you the honor to put it on us」
「ーー . Thank you very much」
I got a little surprised . I didn’t know about that .
It was decided that I would hand it to them and they would put it on themselves .
Is it an ad-lib?
『They are thinking and taking actions with their own thoughts』
That seems to be so .
Oh really, the two of you, what good women .
I respectfully took the Queen’s hand and put the ring on them .
On their thumbs .
To their thumb that is the symbol of authority .
The royal family’s ring releases a holy light after touching the bloodline of the royal family .
Those two lights covered all of the surroundings .
The next instant, the crowd roared as if the whole royal capital Adoria shook .
☆
Deep in the night, in the queen’s bedroom .
Fiona and Marie are standing there .
They went towards me while still wearing their queen dresses .
A calm, warm colored lights made a good atmosphere .
「Kakeru-san」
「Welcome」
「Isn’t that line weird?」
「No, it is not」
「Well then, please come her」
Marie pulled my hand and let me sit on the bed .
Fiona pushed the card that was prepared in the corner of the room .
Their active movements made me remember the time at Purosu Diner . They were doing that in their queen dresses, so it was interesting .
There is food on top of the cart that Fiona pushed .
They are familiar food .
「This……don’t tell me」
「Yes, it’s mountain cow fried rice, extra large」
「Brings back memories . This was the one I got when I first went to your store right?」
「You remembered」
「Of course」
I looked at the fried rice and looked at Marie .
「Come to think of it, what was Marie doing at that time?」
「I was in the back of the store . After all, I didn’t know Kakeru-san at all at that time」
「I see . Well, I was just a customer after all, a first-time visitor too . It’s natural that you don’t know me then」
「I found out that Kakeru-san was the one who hunted so many mountain cows, and went to ask you to save Marie at that time right?」
「I remember that」
I stared at the mountain cow fried rice .
The two girls of the Purosu Diner, the beautiful poster girl sisters .
Siracuza’s offspring, the twin queens that breaks the tradition .
「Thinking about it carefully, it was the mountain cow that made me connected to you huh」
「Yes」
「Un」
What an interesting connection .
I reached out my hand to the fried rice’s dish .
Fiona subtly stopped that and took the dish instead .
「No . We will make you eat it」
「Kakeru-san . A〜n」
「A〜n」
I let the two do what they want .
It is very interesting being served by them in their queen appearance .
I quickly finished the extra-sized fried rice .
「Thanks for the meal, it was delicious」
The two of them stared at me with flushed cheeks .
They stared at me with red faces while standing in front of me .
I understood something with that face .
「Do you want me to do something?」
「「Eh?」」
The two of them raised their voice at the same time .
Their faces were overwritten with surprise because of my words .
「How did you know?」
Fiona asked .
「I don’t know the reason . I could only tell that you had such faces」
「Kakeru-san……」
Marie was moved . Her eyes became moist .
「And so, what is it?」
「Uhm, we want to ask something」
Fiona and Marie, the two of them took off the ring on their thumb at the same time .
The thumb’s ring that is the symbol of authority
They took that off and handed it to me .
「Please, put it on us again」
「We want Kakeru-san to do it」
「Fumu」
『Oi, you……』
「I know」
Eleanor was about to say something, but I interrupted her halfway .
Oh really, isn’t that too insensitive .
I know that much .
I received the rings and took the two’s hands .
I placed the ring on them without hesitations .
To their ring finger .
The ring that did not fit shone .
The two of them stared at that cherishingly .
The two who wished for that .
They wished it to be put on their ring finger that shows love, not on the thumb of authority .
I took Fiona’s hand .
「Kakeru-san」
「You were beautiful, Fiona today was exactly what a Queen is」
I praised, and kissed her .
Fiona became soft on the bones and lean her weight to my body .
I took Marie’s hand while embracing Fiona .
「K-Kakeru-san」
「You were lovely . “I can do my best for that lovely queen . ” I heard those kinds of voices being raised from here and there」
I praised, and kissed her .
Marie became soft on the bones as well and lean her weight to my body .
I took off their dresses while feeling their warmth and breaths .
「K-Kakeru-san」
「While wearing should be betterーー」
The two of them tried to say something, but I made them shut up with a kiss on their mouth .
I undressed them off the queen’s dress which was their last symbol of authority .
The two girls wearing a ring with their appearance bare .
「How beautiful」
I said that, pushed them to the bed, and connected our bodies .
I returned the two who have acted the duties of the queen to just regular girls .
