Lelrde and Arkwright, who were left in the reception room, were silent for a while. They were sipping tea poured by the servants and looking for each other's way out.

"'Princess Sylvia is late, isn't she? Did she run away because she was afraid that her lie would be exposed?

 If so, this could be a bit of an international incident.

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, ,I have no such intention."

(Damn. If it weren't for the law, I'd punch this guy in the face.)

 Arkwright sipped his tea in a good mood while Leolde suppressed his anger. Just as Arkwright was sipping the tea, the door to the reception room opened with a bang.

"What's going on?"

" I'm here!"

 The one who appeared was Charlotte. Leolde looked up at the ceiling, guessing what was going on.

"Excuse me, . Lord leolde . Who is this woman?

"I'm the Charlotte Grinde that  her Highness was talking about earlier. 

"Are you trying to deceive me, ......?

"I have no intention of doing anything  like this "

"Now, the proof."

"Is this what you want?"

 Arkwright's eyes widened as Charlotte appeared in front of him with transference magic.

T(hat's ridiculous! It's transmutation magic. ......! I've been informed that it's not possible in the kingdom to use it  without a magic circle. And yet, she has just used it on her own . ......)

"Oh, are you really Charlotte Grinde?"

"Yes, I am. Do you still need proof?"

(If she's real, i can't afford to spoil her good mood! No, more importantly, is Leolde really Charlotte's ally?)

 Although he didn't completely believe it, Arkwright was able to recognize that the woman in front of him, Charlotte, was a threat.

 However, he wondered if she was really an ally of Leolde.

"'One thing I would like to ask you, what is your relationship with Lorld Leolde?

"'A friend.'"

(Oh, my God. I didn't think you really  was . ...... I was hoping I could force  her to bring back the transference magic, but ...... this seems impossible.)

Since he didn't want to make an enemy of Charlotte, who used transference magic on her own, whether it was real or not, Arkwright decided to give it all up.

"...... is fine. Let's put this matter on hold for now, shall we?"

 (Are you kidding me? You start a fight with me and then try to run away when things get bad?)

  He can't ignore the fact that the fifth prince, or even the fourth princess, lied to  him and made things difficult for him.

 It's too much of an insult to the kingdom. It is a matter of the dignity of the kingdom.  He can't just let Arkwright leave here.

"After calling him a liar for so long, how can he just leave without an apology?"

"Oh, i said something like this ? "

"Don't be silly. your highness  Arkwright. When you found out that Charlotte was the developer, didn't you  give up on her?"

" That's enough!"

 In the midst of a tense atmosphere, Charlotte clapped her hands to stop him.

"We can't give in to each other any more, can we?"

 It's a good idea to end it here."

 What Charlotte said was not wrong. If the heat between the two sides did not cool down, the empire and the kingdom would have gone to war at worst.

 The fifth prince, Arkwright, was in a position where he could be said to be the consensus of the empire, and depending on Leolde's attitude, he could force the situation to develop into a war.

 However, Charlotte's presence was too great for him to do so. If the world's strongest  mage sided with the kingdom, even the continent's largest empire would not be safe.

 However, Arkwright did not know. The only reason Charlotte made this move was because of a woman's desire. She may be able to contain the situation, but if it turns into a war, Charlotte will not move. She will not join either camp.

"But..."

Leolde, who was not convinced, tried to argue, but was  ny silenced the serious murder  look of Charlotte.

"I'm your friend, but I'm not your ally.

"What? I see. That's how it is."

 

LeoLde guessed that Charlotte had probably made some kind of contract with Sylvia, so he said nothing more and kept silent.

 On the other hand, Arkwright is satisfied that there is no further pursuit.

(Haha ...... I was wondering what was going to happen at one point, but I somehow managed it.)

 (Haha, I wondered what would happen at one point in , but it turned out okay. I tried to push Leolde into a corner by using a very forceful method, but Charlotte's appearance made it  into failed .)

 The only thing I could get out of it was that Leolde has Charlotte on his side .

(I'm going to get yelled at by my brothers for this.)

 Thinking about what will happen after he returns, Arkwright feels depressed.
