The Heroine Who Was Taken Away by the Main Character Becomes Obsessed With Me After Returning - Chapter 105



105. Post-processing. (2)

“Vice-captain Raneia. I heard that the ship was damaged quite a bit on this voyage…… I am very sorry.”

A nobleman whose name was unknown suddenly spoke to Raneia.

A banquet held at the royal palace.

To be precise, it was a party held for the return ceremony of ‘Triumph’, the treasure of the royal family of the principality.

It didn’t take long to reach the palace from Blueton, but…….

It was enough for one piece of information to be conveyed by mouth.

Information that the ‘Mystic Pirate’s ship’ was destroyed in half during this voyage.

It wasn’t a rumor.

“Actually, even the word “Half wave” Isn’t enough. It only looks fine on the outside. Because almost 80% of the magic circle that made up the ship was destroyed. It will take some time to fix.”

After hearing Lucia’s addition, I nodded slightly.

What. That’s right.

Raneia answered the question in a formal tone.

“No, the fact that there were no casualties among the crew should be considered a good thing.”

“Is that so? …… After all, you are the vice-captain of the Mystic Pirates.”

It’s ridiculous to say it now, but the status of the Mystic Pirates in the Duchy of Briseyton is very high.

That’s to the point where the royal family requested to retrieve the royal treasure, ‘Triumph’.

Even in an empire a little far away, the weight of the name Mystic Pirate is only light.

This was a duchy that was a kind of main stage for the Mystic Pirates.

Mystic Pirate.

They call themselves pirates, that is, ‘pirates’, but no one really thinks of them as pirates.

As far as I know, I heard that you have been taking a cooperative stance with the principality for decades.

This is not to say that it is not an organization that is only a few years old without foundation.

Especially, I haven’t seen it yet, but the influence of the ‘leader’ of that Mystic Pirate seems to be very large.

It’s not under the command of the principality, so it’s safe to call it a real navy.

To be more precise, it should be called a mercenary and paramilitary organization hired by the principality.

Anyway, yes. The Duchy of Briseyton trusts them very much.

I also know very well that the mercenaries of the sea called Mystic Pirates are not the ones who will struggle against a mediocre Kraken.

Blind trust in a trusted hero.

“By the way, vice-captain Raneiya. Aren’t you embarrassed?”

“…… ?”

Raneiya tilted her head at the rather unexpected story.

Not only that, but the gaze felt from the surroundings is quite subtle.

It would be even weirder if you had a crush on the gaze directed at a stranger.

An unpleasant and unpleasant feeling.

Because the eyes of the nobles of the principality were clearly hostile.

Okay then, here’s the problem.

The Mystic Pirate, who has sailed the sea dozens, maybe hundreds of times, has returned with the ship almost half wrecked on this voyage.

The reason why the magic circles on the ship broke is because they dealt with the Prophet and the disaster. The fact was hidden for a while.

I don’t know if it’s a prophet, but if you announce the resurrection of ‘disaster’, it will be quite noisy.

Anyway, back to the main topic.

No one knows that a disaster has appeared.

The only thing that stands out is that the ship that had sailed intact so far was wrecked in half and barely arrived.

Ah. And there was one more thing that this voyage was different from the usual voyages.

The Mystic Pirate’s ship was boarded by ‘Imperial people’, not sailors.

If only the Mystic Pirate had dealt with and defeated a monster called the Kraken, it would have been dozens of times.

If you add other monsters together, you won’t be able to count them.

However, there was a crisis in which the ship was destroyed in half during a voyage on which an outsider, that is, an “Imperial” Was on board.

A ship in danger of being destroyed in half is the same as the story that Triumph almost fell asleep in the sea forever.

With only such a conclusion, a rumor quickly spread among the nobles.

Speaking of that rumor…….

“I heard that the reason the ship suffered damage that was close to half-destroyed was because the Empire insisted on boarding the ship.”

The reason why the ship was in danger of being half-destroyed.

The fact that the treasure of the principality, ‘Triumph’, almost sank into the sea was because of the imperial people on board.

“…… What kind of nonsense is that?

It was obviously an absurd tone.

The nobleman, unable to read his expression, spoke.

“I heard that some of the people of the Empire even got seasick. Sailing is no child’s play.”

Frame…… Lin didn’t mean it.

No, am I wrong?

Rin, who suffered from seasickness, was not from the Empire, but from the Silver Lang tribe in the north.

Raneia was speechless for a moment.

“You don’t have to notice. No matter how noble you are in the empire, this is a principality, not an empire.”

If you think about it calmly, it is a rumor full of nonsense.

It’s not like the Mystic Pirates never took Mrs. Wei on their voyages.

If they really thought there would be trouble with the voyage, they would have refused it anyway.

For them, crossing the sea was ‘work’.

Work with pride as a Mystic Pirate.

However, it seems that no human thought reached that far.

Or, did he not want to go that far?

‘That’s how you want to come out. Prince…… No. The Duke of Briseyton.’

The owner of a castle called Briseyton whose face has not yet been reflected in the banquet hall.

The prince of the time, surely his name was ‘Aldrich Briseyton’.

It seems that there was some kind of long middle name. I don’t even think about that.

Anyway, this rumor was probably intentionally spread by him.

And maybe the intent is…… To ‘make’ the Empire into an enemy.

There is nothing more stupid than turning an empire into an enemy in a world where the empire is all over the world.

It’s not that I’m going to become a real enemy, it’s that I’m going to ‘make’ an enemy.

Usually, putting an enemy on the outside hardens the inside.

Already, the perception of the empire within the principality was very poor.

The crown prince who originally had the right to succeed went to the empire and died along with his fiancé.

Even then, the empire couldn’t be held accountable, and it was a situation where only one Triumph could be retrieved.

In many ways, the perception of the empire is bound to be poor.

And rather than overturning that public opinion, he must have chosen to use it.

Well, looking at it objectively, the ship was harpooned after being accompanied by an outsider. It’s not even a very strange rumor.

“It’s not like that. Rather, if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have been able to reach the principality…….”

“A. Anyway, that’s gone too far.”

As I talked to each one, the nobles rushed in droves.

Raneia was quite troubled when dealing with the nobles.

Looks like he’s not used to this kind of fighting.

Rather, it was an expression asking me to draw a knife and attack.

Yes what. After all, it’s a Siren. I’m not used to this kind of political battle.

Of course, I was the type to get away with it when it comes to political fights.

I’d rather kill them all with a sword. I have the confidence to conquer.

Because I don’t really like this kind of meaningless fights and wars of nerves.

The moment I tried to help Raneia, who doesn’t seem to be immune to this kind of thing, though.

Kikkik.

The gate opens with a slight noise, and someone shouts.

“His Highness the Prince eats it!”

It looks like the protagonist who opened this banquet is finally coming.

A middle-aged man who is not very tall and has a chubby waist.

It didn’t seem like he didn’t have self-management at his middle age, but his untrained body doesn’t look like that of a martial artist.

However, what is certain is that he is the only being in this world who can call himself a ‘king’.

‘The timing wasn’t bad. It will be sorted out soon.’

From his appearance, I thought that this rumor would soon be put to an end.

Of course, the king was the one who spread this rumor.

If it goes to an irreversible atmosphere, I will definitely stop it in the middle.

It is foolish to turn the Empire into an enemy.

That, too, is hundreds of times more stupid than ‘turning’ the empire into an enemy and eliminating internal divisions.

So, for now, I will ostensibly restrain it.

The name of the prince is, in other words, a story that represents the will of the entire duchy.

If he rushes forward, it may not just be a trouble within the principality, but a war between the principality and the empire.

War…….

If a war breaks out like that, can it really be called a war?

As if ants are trampled on by the heel of a shoe and disappear, it is not called a ‘battle’.

There will only be one-sided slaughter.

The Kaisha Empire was the only country for a thousand years, and it was the strongest country.

I wouldn’t do that unless I was out of my mind.

It was annoying to spend more time than this. It went well.

‘After the banquet, I’ll visit you quietly.’

If you hand over the Triumph that the devil is aiming for without any explanation, it will most likely be taken away by the demons in less than a month.

At the very least, it was necessary to explain the situation to him, the king of the principality.

“Kuhm.”

Yes. Until then, I knew this commotion would be quiet.

Until the king opened his mouth.

Aldrich Briseyton.

With tired eyes, he slowly opened his mouth after entering the banquet hall.

“I hear Jim. I heard that there was an Imperial who interfered with the Mystic Pirate’s voyage this time.”

“…… Her.”

The eyes of the princess who said that were empty somewhere.

Correction.

Those weren’t just empty eyes, they were crazy human eyes.
