3rd POV
Ekaterina said, and the entire royal family burst into laughter.
“That’s very brave of you, Ekaterina, do you know how to use a sword?” (Emperor)
“Not at all, sir.” (Ekaterina)
“I know how to use a rapier. I could teach you a few things.” (Empress)
“Great! I’d love to.” (Ekaterina)
Her Majesty, the Top Star Empress, uses a rapier…that’s a new door to moe! I want to see it!
“Ekaterina.” (Alexei)
Ekaterina came to her senses when someone called out to her in a soothing tone.
“Empress, thank you for your kind words, but my younger sister is physically weak, and I have made her refrain from strenuous exercise. After the entrance ceremony and after the appearance of the magic beast the other day, she has suddenly collapsed many times.” (Alexei)
Ekaterina’s POV
Oh no, they know what happened after the appearance of the magical beast!
Why though!?
Yes, on the day I survived the beast attack, Mina was waiting for me at the entrance of the dormitory, and I was about to go back to my special room when my….consciousness blanked out.
I didn’t get locked up like before, but when I tried to climb the stairs, I was so tired that I couldn’t move, and I was carried in princess style again.
I wonder if Mina reported it. My brother is her employer, right…….
But brother, this is a declaration of non-participation in the next empress fight, which is in accordance with my request! Thank you very much!
3rd POV
“Even after doing all that? Oh, I see, I’m sorry I didn’t notice at that time.” (Mikhael)
Mikhael says, sounding surprised.
“She’s a stubborn girl. I told her to take a break, but she still overworked herself hard.” (Alexei)
“Because I wanted to be by……my brother’s side.” (Ekaterina)
Ekaterina said with an upward glance, there was a slight pause, and Alexei gave a small cough.
“Well, I allowed it, so it’s not a problem.” (Alexei)
……Their Majesties are looking at my brother with a very heartwarming look in their eyes. Brother, I’m really sorry for making you show off your siscon side.
Ekaterina thought.
“I wonder if Magna also has a powerful dragon in their territory.” (Michael)
Mikhael said, and Ekaterina was relieved that the subject had changed.
“Hm…Vladimir would know. Why don’t you ask him?” (Emperor)
“I suppose so. I don’t get to see him very often, even at the academy, but if I get a chance…” (Mikhael)
Mikhael replied to the Emperor’s words, smiling at Ekaterina.
“Vladimir is a wealth of knowledge, rather than just a poor scholar. He has the memory to remember the literature he reads perfectly. He may not have enough strength to walk all over the territory because he’s too weak, but I’m sure he knows everything there is to know about Magna. He can even read old documents in the language of the Astra Empire as well as the Imperial language.” (Mikhael)
Ekaterina’s POV
Eh……Vladimir, the one who has been sarcastic in front of the prince before, is the legitimate son of Yurimagna? He’s very handsome, but he’s got a bad attitude...that’s really him?
But then I remembered that my brother said he was an excellent person.
He’s also thin and a little unhealthy, like someone from a visual band. My brother and the prince, though slender, were well-toned and had a powerful air about them. But Vladimir didn’t look like he had the kind of training that would allow him to run around in armor on the battlefield, even though he was the legitimate son of Yurimagna, who I’d heard so much about as having a warrior’s spirit.
