Chapter 67 - Talking About Queen-sama
◎ Royal Capital Shubain, Criers Hotel
「Uhyaa, a hotel for royalty is so extravagant . 」
After saying that Kazane leapt onto the bed .
「Don't suddenly horse around . Really . 」
Zinray is amazed by the childish behavior, while Louise wore a wry smile .
「Well, it's nice we can lodge here for free . It's a place an ordinary adventurer wouldn't be allowed to stay even if they had the money . 」
「It is a hotel for nobility's exclusive use . I stayed here a long time ago . 」
『That's right . I was still in good health back in those days . 』
After Louise's remark, Tiara and Mefirus reminisced about the past .
「Well, since we're staying here in Yuuko-nee's name, try not to do embarrassing things, Kazane . 」
After being cautioned by Yumika, Kazane said「Okay~」and fully laid down .
While Kazane and Yumika had a delightful reunion with the now Queen Yuuko-nee at Castle Delgura, that didn't mean they could stay as long as they liked . As a queen, Yuuko-nee's time was limited, so they had to leave and would need to decide the schedule and the like for the hot spring another day . With Queen Yuuko-nee's authority, Kazane and the others were allowed to stay at this top class hotel .
「Even so, I had no idea you two were acquainted with the Queen . I was honestly surprised . 」
Zinray expressed after he judged things had calmed down .
「We were also surprised . Really surprised . 」
「Truly!」
After Kazane and Yumika said that Zinray looked at them questioningly .
「That's right . Zinray-san, we were unaware that Yuuko-nee was this country's Queen . Can you tell us about it?」
「If it's fine to tell you what little I know . 」
Zinray replied to Kazane's words conditionally .
After hearing that Yumika and Kazane sat side by side and stared at Zinray .
「Please . 」
「Well, it seems fine . 」
While he was worried if it was really fine to give such simple information in response to his disciple's serious gaze, Zinray knew that he couldn't tell them anything beyond his own knowledge anyway, so he decided to proceed .
「Her Majesty Yuuko Waiti Shubaina's name started becoming known in this kingdom about 20 years ago . 」
Zinray's words were consistent with Yuuko-nee saying she came 20 years ago .
「You two may know more details than me about this, but she is a high-ranking magician, to the extent that she was known as the Witch of Annihilation as an adventurer . Well, it's similar to how you rookies' activities have also led to a new name . 」
It wasn't any different from what Kazane knew . Yuuko-nee's player character Yuukei in Zexiahart was also a user of Annihilation Magic, and was similarly called『Witch of Annihilation . 』
Among other things, the strong point of the magic was the grimoire's Final Chapter『Corona Gate,』which was a mixture of light and fire that in Zexiahart would incinerate everything within range and boasted of being the highest damaging spell for the vast area it covered . Yuukei's style was to use enchanted items and strengthening magic to amplify the power even further .
Yuuko-nee told them she had been collecting equivalent equipment and skills as the game and was capable of casting『Corona Gate』herself . Apparently, Yuuko-nee had a unique skill like Yumika's『Innate Talent:Spear』called『Sun Bearer』that nearly doubled the power and range of Flame and Light magic, which meant that even though she was only Level 96, she could cast it at around the same power as her max level character Yuukei .
「Fifteen years ago His Majesty the King Yuein passed away and she became Queen . She was only an adventurer but she became his wife, and her ability to use the White Sword was used to prove that she was a relative with royal blood . 」
White Divider chose its owner . Yuuko-nee, who used the sword as Yuukei, would be qualified .
『Actually, no one with the ability to use the White Sword had been born in the royal family for several generations . The rightful successor to the throne was in doubt . 』
Mefirus supplemented .
「So what you're saying is Yuuko-nee had the right qualifications?」
Zinray nodded in response to Kazane .
「Well, that's the way it turned out . After His Majesty passed away, Her Majesty the Queen named herself the legitimate heir to throne and is currently the Queen . 」
Ostensibly, that claim was accepted .
「While there was another heir to the throne, the Queen was the only one who could use the White Sword, and she seems to be skilled at politics . 」
(I wonder if the power of『Circlet of Reality Vision』was used)
Kazane thought so . Kazane hadn't told even Yumika about Yuuko-nee's artifact . It was like Kazane's Infinite Key; it was best that other people didn't know .
「And under Her Majesty Yuuko's rule it is currently an age of peace . 」
Kazane asked a question after Zinray said that .
「But there is a possibility of war, isn't there?」
「Well, yes, there are fears of war with Soldard to the north, and I hear talk of revolt by other potential heirs to the throne . 」
After that, Zinray thought that he had already spoken unnecessary things and hesitated to say anything else, but
「Well, are there worries about assassination or something like that?」
Kazane asked straightforwardly what she wanted to hear . Yumika looked surprised at the question, but Kazane's『Insight』told her it was probably important .
「I don't think it has been plainly said so far . . . but there are rumors . There are voices wondering if the Queen really has royal blood . 」
Kazane naturally knew . Of course, Yuuko-nee's blood line was not connected to the royal family .
「But there's nobody but Yuuko-nee that can use the White Sword, right?」
「There is . Queen Yuuko is not the only user of that sword . 」
「What?」
「There is also Prince Sieg, the Queen's son . 」
「Sieg?」
「Prince?」
Kazane's question was followed by Yumika's question .
「Kazane, it is the same name as your summoned ancient hero . I don't know if he got his name from that hero, but as His Majesty Yuein's son, Prince Sieg definitely has royal blood and can use the White Sword like Queen Yuuko . 」
