For over five years, there is no need to worry about the war coming from the people of Ealdar.

　When she heard that, Alicia patted her chest with relief. I don't know when or how long we were going to be at war with Ealdar, but the information we got from the memories of my previous life has left us with no idea.

(...... It was nice to tell Clovis about his previous life.）

　If it was only Alicia, that information could not be deduced and put out in such a short time.

　Even so, I don't know what will happen in the future. It is unknown at what age he died, but to guess from the appearance of herself and Clovis in the memory, it seems that there is a grace period of about only a maximum of one year from that age.

"Was there anything that could be a spark for war?"」

"Unfortunately, I don’t know.”」

　It was a reply that I expected, but it seems that even an excellent aide could not figure it out, based on his response. Clovis continued with a slight frown on his well-shaped brows.

"In terms of politics and diplomacy, there are no noticeable problems between the two countries. It is impossible to make predictions from the current situation.”」

“I knew it.”」

　"I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know why you’re thinking that. If there is no clear reason for the war, we must prepare for it by a.s.suming that the war should occur. The five years grace period is a certainty, so you can earn that amount of time.”」

"I want to prepare for the war to the extent that it does not make Ealdar suspicious. What can I do?」

"We need to stock up on food, replenish our weapons, and strengthen our border defenses. Robert Vonburt has just submitted a defence enhancement proposal referring to its neighbors. Let's work in the a.s.sistant's office to make it work.”」

"Please. I don't know your father, but I don't want a lot of people to bleed or starve because of the war.”」

“By Your will.”」

　After reciting the words reverently, Clovis suddenly smiled with a beautiful face.

"Again, it seems to me that you were born with a body standing on the top.”」

"Why did you think that?"」

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're thinking."」

There are so many brighter stars than I who have been free to act and be scolded by a lady chief, but I have never been praised in such a way. So puzzled was Alicia, her aide turned a gentle eye.

"I know by my behavior and your att.i.tude to the ladies-in-waiting. You are the one who can't let your va.s.sals or people get hurt. Then, while being aware of your position as a princess, you try to be equal to your va.s.sals, and try to draw their opinions. It's not something we can all do.”」

"Oh, thank you.”」

　I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but I'm really not sure. If I look in front of me with a glimpse, I can see that his beautiful face of the world is filled with “respect” and "love", and a smile is flowing with happiness.

"...... You know, Clovis. You will praise me, but I'm not that much of a princess. Because of my memory of the previous life that happened, I was just interested in the future a little bit.”」

　If it was Alicia before she had a memory of her previous life, she would not have thought about doing something to see the future of the country, nor would she have chosen Clovis as an aide because she would not partic.i.p.ate in the ceremony.

　Even Clovis, who was told that, shook his head slowly.

"What is important is what we think and do in response to the given opportunity. At the very least, I know your true feelings, and I am more and more glad that princess Alicia is my Lady.”」

　Alicia hurried away, feeling the heat in her face. I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but I'm not sure if I can take it. I am in a place where I want to put a rush of words out, but I am embarra.s.sed so much that I forget it.

"I told you,"」 said she.

I'm scared of my own people outside the castle. I can't say that such a person is worthy of a higher position.」

"For that matter, I have a proposal.”」

　Alicia had a bad feeling, and she looked at her aide quietly.

“I'm not sure what's going to come out of your mouth.”」

"It is not a big thing. I have only one thing to say. Alicia, you can't keep being inside the castle. Go see your own people with your own eyes.”」

"I thought you would say that!"」

　Alicia quickly got up and hid herself behind the sofa. I look up at the smiling aide, with only half my face peeking out.

"You must have seen how I got distracted in The Hall of Time!？ Like I said, I might start a panic all over town.」

"Of course, I will accompany you. I will do everything I can to protect you from danger.”」

"It's not there. Hey, Clovis. It's not that.”」

"Actually, I was the one who swung with the arm of the sword in the Academy.”」

“Listen to me!”」

　In the end, Alicia made a promise to visit the city outside of the castle, so that she could stop being pushed by Clovis.

　There is a question that comes to the head of the princess while dropping her shoulders. In fact, the Iron Mask and the head court lady, Henri Fourier, would think it would be good for the princess to be outside the castle......not.
