Protagonist is Promoted After Bringing Back Best Results
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
The coup d’état by the crown prince Jean ended in failure thanks to our efforts. The Capetien Kingdom thoroughly investigated those who were involved in the coup. As a result, it was discovered that over 100 people, including the Guard Captain order, were involved. Based on these findings, King Salomon made a harsh decision to execute all 100 people, along with their entire families and relatives.
More than 20 noble households were destroyed, and the kingdom’s knight order was left in a nearly collapsed state. While the royal treasury was replenished with the wealth confiscated from the dismantled noble households, the management of the newly acquired lands and palace security became difficult, and finding replacements for the lost personnel was an urgent matter.
And…
“I hereby appoint Elene Vanessa de Capetien as Crown Princess.” (Salomon)
“This Elene humbly accepts the appointment.” (Elene)
It had only been two weeks since we stopped the coup, yet King Salomon held the appointment ceremony for the Crown Princess. Of course, Elene was widely praised throughout the kingdom as the hero who suppressed the coup, and the people responded with great cheers to the birth of a new successor.
“So, what will you do now?” (Harold)
“Well… the plan to go to the Dehaubalz Kingdom with you all is now off due to this incident. For a while, I think I’ll help my sister.” (Lizette)
Amid the crowd that came to see the appointment ceremony, Lizette, blending in, shrugged her shoulders and spoke. Though she should have attended the ceremony from the royal family’s seats, she refused to do so.
“And after that?” (Harold)
“After that… let me see. To tell you the truth, I’ve never left this Capetien Kingdom, or even the capital city, Saint-Jeune. It might be a good idea to take a look at what the world outside here is like.” (Lizette)
“Haha, indeed.” (Harold)
Looking at Elene, who was smiling and waving to the crowd with her clear amethyst eyes, Lizette smiled. It seemed like she already knew how she wanted to live from now on.
“In that case, all the more reason for you to visit Dehaubalz. We will welcome you, our dear friend.” (Harold)
“Of course. My journey must begin from the country where my dear friends are.” (Lizette)
“Hehe… I look forward to welcoming Your Highness, Lizette…” (Alexandra)
“Lize.” (Lizette)
“Hmm?” (Harold/Alexandra)
“We’re dear friends, aren’t we? Then, I will allow you the special privilege of calling me ‘Lize’.” (Lizette)
Blushing deeply, Lizette, or rather, Lize proclaimed this with a grand air.
Haha. Even after all this, the tsundere ‘useless wicked woman’ side of her hasn’t changed.
“Alright then, I’ll be Haru.” (Harold)
“Please call me Xandra, Lize-sama.” (Alexandra)
“The ‘-sama’ is unnecessary! Call me Lize, Xandra!” (Lize)
“Very well, Lize.” (Sandra)
Amid the cheering of the crowd, we laughed together. In what was once enemy territory, we rejoiced in the precious bonds we had found.
—
“Phew… After everything that’s happened, I’m relieved we were able to fulfill our role as goodwill ambassadors without any problems.” (Harold)
On the deck of the ship bound for the Dehaubalz Kingdom, I took a deep breath.
I had a feeling this might happen, and sure enough, Lizette’s scenario as the heroine of ‘Enhaz’ occurred. After resolving it, we managed to secure her promise to study abroad. King Salomon also expressed his deep gratitude, and I didn’t think we could have hoped for better results than this.
“As expected of you, Haru-sama. Truly, I’m glad that scum didn’t accompany this delegation. If he had, our visit would undoubtedly have ended in failure.” (Alexandra)
“Ahaha.” (Harold)
Xandra, staring at the sea and smiling faintly. Her harsh words made me smile wryly, but I couldn’t deny their truth, so I just nodded.
“But we can’t let our guard down. When we left the Capetien Kingdom, Wilfred seemed to have some kind of plan. Given that, there might be unexpected events waiting for us when we return. We should remain cautious.” (Harold)
“Indeed… Though Onii-sama has informed me that ‘there are no suspicious movements within the royal palace,’ knowing how sneaky that scum is…” (Sandra)
While we were in the Capetien Kingdom, Cedric and I exchanged letters via carrier pigeons, and as Xandra said, all his messages reported that the Dehaubalz Kingdom was peaceful and mainly expressed concern for her.
However, that’s exactly why I can’t shake this sense of unease…
“Don’t worry. Even if that scum tries something, I will be here. Monica will be here. Cas will be here. The Chevalier Household… no, everything you have built until now will surely protect you, Haru-sama.” (Alexandra)
“…Yes, you’re right.” (Harold)
Taking my hand and holding it to her chest, Xandra gazed at me with eyes full of love.
Just that gaze alone is enough to make all my worries vanish, and I feel like I can do anything.
“Haha! We’ll be back in the kingdom in a few hours! For now, let’s focus on relaxing after this journey!” (Harold)
“Yes!” (Alexandra)
Looking ahead at the approaching land of Dehaubalz, we smiled at each other, shoulders touching.
And…
“Brother Harold. I have been entrusted with the Royal Guard Division by Father… His Majesty Eibar.” (Wilfred)
Wilfred, who went out of his way to meet our delegation despite us not asking for him, greeted us with that infuriating smirk, boasting of his new position.
