The Princess and Old Friends

At Kagersi City's Palace District, there is a row of mansions built in the style that smells strongly of culture foreign to the Auland Empire. That is where the embassy for envoys stay.

The East Mist Communal Country doesn't have an embassy in Auland Empire. In a certain mansion that was assigned to them at the last minute, even though it was already late at night, a certain young lady who was duped was enraged.

"Darned Darsos! This wasn't how he put it when he invited us! This is a scam, an insult to the entire country!"

The 14-year-old young lady is currently holding a tantrum in her room but it is a shame that the one she is facing is just her female retainer.

"Yes, they lied to us. But as a small country, what can we do? Do we make it public and refuse to swear loyalty to them? They would just treat it as an insult to the Empire as well as the new Emperor and start a full-out war against us. We would just be providing them a reason for war."
