Time goes back a little.
　In what could be called a private room, Fritzione was with Angela in the face of Widale.
　In addition, the reason why I listen to the report in my private room, not in my office like Schles or Kabazide, is purely because Fritzione doesn't have a job like his brother or brother.
　The first princess, Fritzione, plays the role of a flower in society, such as studying for education, inviting children of nobility, and so on, but does not have any definite work to do.
　Politics, however, is often determined by social discussions, and in that sense, Fritzione is fully involved in the politics of the Bestian Empire.
　Such a Fritzione, looking through the letter from Widale... and reading the letter from Mercurio, makes his usually soft smile look faintly strong.
　Angela wondered what was written in the letter, but Widale understood most of it.
　Perhaps it was written that he would be in the form of his subordinate, which Mercurio had told him in advance.

(His aim was to create a military stalemate between the punitive force and the rebels by cooperating with Prince Mercurio. Then, when we're stuck in each other's arms, we go in and mediate with each other. That was my aim. But...)

　Mercurio and other rebels had no idea of restoring relations with the punitive forces... or with the cabazids.
　For Mercurio, the present situation is both a crisis and an opportunity.
　Considering the current right to succeed to the throne, it is highly unlikely that Mercurio will assume the throne if time passes peacefully.
　That's why I was trying to get a clear settlement here and get rid of those who were above me.
　Mercurio, however, does not want to kill his brother.
　To be honest, it was best to take his life, but it was obvious that if he did so, the first and second princes would surely cause a disturbance, which would be worse than his own rebellion, and would cause a disturbance in the mud.
　To prevent it, he was confined to his house without taking the lives of his two older brothers. The aim is that it would be best to have poor territory ruled without going that far.
　To do so, we must win an overwhelming victory in this rebellion.
　Mercurio's rebels, who had long thought about it, could not do that, but now... yes, in the current situation Ray was on the rebel side.
　Therefore, it is unacceptable that Fritzione should be on his side, but that he should be stuck.
　That's why Mercurio cited it as a condition to be under him.

"... His Highness Fritzione..."

　Angela anxiously calls out to her lord.
　When he was approached, he repeatedly looked at the letter with sorrow in his eyes.

"Mercrio... I can't believe you meant that."

　Sadness oozes in my voice when I find out that no matter how I move, I cannot stop the blood-washing battle between my brothers.

"How would you like it?"

　As she asked, Angela had already anticipated the answer.
　Fritzione's ideas were lenient -- Mercurio's, to be exact, harsh -- but he had already prepared to join the rebels.
　He has already explained this to the nobles who belong to his faction, and is preparing to take actions such as going with Fritzione or fleeing to his own territory.
　That being the case, I can't say that I've stopped joining you.

(And...)

　Fritzione opens her mouth when her brother and brother pass by in her mind.

"It won't change," Let us join the rebels."
"Is that all right? Prince Mercurio has already decided to fight a decisive battle. It doesn't go the way Prince Fritzione thought it would."

　In response to Angela's confirming question, Fritzione nods with sorrow in her eyes.

"Yes, now that this happens, we should put an end to this civil war as soon as possible and reduce the hatred we have toward each other. Besides, Mercurio and Vihela would still have enough time to listen to me, unlike Cabad's elder brother and Schles."

　If a battle is already inevitable, we should end it as soon as possible.
　Not only Angela, but even Widale, is open to the determination that comes to mind with sadness.
　I was misjudging. That's what they thought of Fritzione.
　Definitely, they are left at their wit's end with grief. I had even anticipated such a possibility.
　But Fritzione, feeling sad, immediately turns her head to take another action.

(I understand that you are of the blood of His Majesty Trajist, aren't you? I can't believe you'd realize it at a time like this. Prince Fritzione's aim was not to win the succession to the throne, but to end the battle between brothers as soon as possible.)

　Angela opens her mouth, inwardly impressed.

"And what would you do, sir, if he had already sent you to the hut that Prince Fritzione used all the time?"
"No, please wait a moment. It will take some time to inform the factions, and leave it as it is now."
"But wouldn't it be better for you to let me know as soon as possible, if you know it?"
"…Widale, near the castle, I met my elder brother Kabazid. Right?"
"What? Oh, yes. Well, I'm sorry for the inconvenience...

　Even though Dune had been involved, he was in an explosive state with an oversized Ray bomb in his arms. Moreover, even the Knights of the Guards appeared.
　If there had not been any coverages, it is possible that they would have been questioned by the Knights of the Guards.
　Then Ray's identity would have been known.
　As a result, the imperial capital itself was in danger of being burned down.
　For Widale, who doesn't know Ray has to use Seto's help to create a fire whirlwind, it's almost too late to feel cold.

"If Kabazid had seen him, you could assume that he was known for what he was. I'm sure you'll be watching it at the competition."
"But I've heard that the robes of Lord Ray have a cover-up effect."

　Widale recalled the information he had heard during the encampment on his way to the imperial capital, but returned to Fritzione's serious expression.
　Fritzione, who always has a soft smile on her face, makes her look even more powerful.

"Well, Widare," Don't underestimate my brother Kabazide. It's far from being a one‐handed man or two‐handed person. He's probably recognized for what he is, since he's doing it normally, he reads five moves and six moves. You'd better think so."
"...so why don't we hurry even more?"

　If Ray's identity had been known, it would be natural that the White Rose Knights who brought him... and that Fritzione, who holds the White Rose Knights, should be suspected.

"From here on out, even the slightest failure will not be tolerated. You'd better think so."

　In Fritzione, it was semi-confirmed that Ray had already noticed his presence.
　And Ray's personality and behavior that I heard from Widale. There was a strong feeling that he hated being tied down to others, and that he might behave strangely if he only told them about the current situation in detail.

"Personally, I think it's preferable..."

　Angela and Widere look surprised at Fritzione's muttering words.
　Basically, Fritzione doesn't hate people, but he never... he's never described a man as preferable either.
　I didn't meet her in person, so I don't think it was a romantic feeling -- or a wish -- but it might not necessarily be possible, given the feelings Vichela, Fritzione's sister, has for Ray. Such an idea passes through Angela and Widere's mind.

"Your Highness Fritzione," I'll tell you just in case that Prince Vichela is against him, too."
"What? Oh, that? Don't get me wrong. I don't have any particular feelings for Ray. But she likes Vihela, doesn't she? Then she might be my brother-in-law in the future. I just wanted to get along with him."Fritzione denied it with a wry smile, but she was brought up with a daughter -- a princess -- and was more interesting than anyone else in love.
　Though my brother and brother are still young, there are very few rumors that are floating.
　No, in the case of Schles, there was a foster brother named Amale, who, in the eyes of Fritzione, didn't seem to have anything between them.
　Thinking that far, Fritzione shakes her head lightly.

"I'd like to think a lot about it, but that's far from it now. ... Angela, I'm sorry, but Mr. Ray... No, since he's Vichela's lover and future brother-in-law, should I call him Ray? Can you take Ray with you some food? I'd like you to talk to him and see what kind of personality he is."
"I don't mind. I thought it would be interesting to hear about Widale."
"... Angela. I'll tell you, you can't fall in love with Ray, because he has my sister Vihela."

　Were you lucky or unhappy that Widale didn't know Elena at this time?
　Nailed by Fritzione, Angela breathes and opens her mouth.

"I'm not interested in love, unlike Prince Fritzione."
"That'll be a problem," especially the Earl of Luxinois, your father."

　Angela is also the daughter of Count Luccinois.
　However, it is unnecessary to have a son-in-law, as his brother will succeed to the position of Earl of Luxinois.
　Angela is the second daughter in the first place and has an older sister. ... already married and married to another noble family.

"Whether you're in love or married, it's only after you let the next man inherit the rank of Knight Commander." My job is now my lover."

　Angela murmuring while looking at Widale.
　Among the White Rose Knights, he is skilled and trusted by his subordinates.
　Although he was a little stubborn, he was still well equipped to become the next captain.
　It is not, however, that there are no other candidates for the Knights'
　Indeed, Widale is a strong candidate for the next captain, but he is still only one of the candidates.

"Not at all... Well, I can trust Angela because she is like that." Anyway, please take Ray a meal. Please keep your eyes open before you do it."
"Yes,"

　Angela bowed to Fritzione's words with a serious expression.
　Still, somewhere that looks elegant, he is still the captain of the White Rose Knights, a knighthood under Fritzione's direct control.

"Your Highness Fritzione," I'll send a meal to Mr. Ray at once. Excuse me for a moment. Widale, you will guard Prince Fritzione until I return."
"Yes, I have received the post of bodyguard."

　When Angela hears Widale's reply, she nods satisfactorily and leaves.
　Fritzione, who saw him off, immediately called in members of the White Rose Knights and asked them to meet with the nobles of his faction.
　You could have called it a letter, but in the case of a letter, it exists as clear evidence.
　If it were to be taken away by the hands of Shurus and Kabazid, it would undoubtedly be fatal to the so-called First Princesses.
　Given the dangers, the best thing to do was to send a White Rose Knights, who were above a certain level of ability.

(How far can I go? ...but I still don't want to see my brothers bleed together. I guess I am being selfish in acting with that in mind.)

　I have a reputation for being kind in the world, but everything is only self-satisfaction.
　At this thought Fritzione smiled faintly in self-deprecating.
