Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

The Kingdom of Wanglong is indeed in decline.

how to say……

It feels so familiar.

……

Paul's mercenary group also received a request from Ariel.

They were entrusted with joining the war.

To be honest, the commission is quite generous.

Generally speaking, there is no reason to refuse.

However, considering that the mercenary group was still in its development stage, Paul ultimately chose to refuse.

Of course, they borrowed a bit of my name.

Because I have a personal connection with Ariel, and I also have a cooperative relationship with Alster.

So Ariel accepted Paul's refusal.

That being said.

Paul is also considering the possibility of collaborating in the future.

Although the main business of mercenary groups is intelligence gathering, mercenaries are mercenaries and naturally need to go to the battlefield.

……

Lilia was the same as always.

As a maid, her appearance was impeccably dignified.

After greeting me, he asked about Aisha.

After learning that Aisha was still missing, she apologized to me with deep remorse.

"I'm so sorry, Aisha actually abandoned her job as a maid and ran away... It's really my fault as her mother."

"It's okay, Lilia, we all think it's fine this way."

"Yeah……"

Lilia's expression was extremely complex.

This is a dereliction of duty by the maid.

My worries as a mother.

Lilia was anxious because of this.

……

It was afternoon.

When Hilfi returned from the Silver Palace, she excitedly pulled me aside to whisper something to me.

"Princess... no, Lady Ariel said she's willing to help!"

"what?"

"With Lady Ariel's help, it won't be easy to solve this!"

"Wait, Silphie, what's going on?"

"It's about Zieg."

After careful questioning, I learned what had happened.

While chatting with Ariel, Hilfi brought up the matter of Sieg.

Because Sylphie had been troubled by this for a while.

The topic came up during casual conversation.

Ariel took this very seriously and immediately proposed a solution.

As queen, Ariel has a great deal of power.

For example, enacting legislation, distributing related books on a large scale, etc.

That being said.

The religion of Milis was prevalent in the Kingdom of Asra.

Although no Knights Templar were stationed there.

However, influenced by the Milis religion, some people also harbor hostility towards the demon race.

Ariel had actually thought about making some improvements to this a long time ago.

After all, the Kingdom of Asra is not the Holy Kingdom of Milis, so there is no need for it to be so xenophobic towards the demons.

Taking this opportunity.

Ariel proposed a solution.

……

three days later.

Ariel gave her routine speech in front of the public.

This is a consistent policy that Ariel has implemented since taking power.

She continues her approachable style from when she was a princess, giving the public a chance to see the queen in person almost every month.

During the speech.

Hilfi and I were holding Sieg nearby.

This is also normal.

After all, Ariel wanted to appear more approachable to the public, so she would have a large crowd surrounding her during her speeches.

of course.

due to safety concerns.

These so-called citizens are all actors.

Her Golden Knights were also nearby, protecting her and ensuring that no accidents would happen.

The speech mainly covered policies related to people's livelihoods.

Most people may find it difficult to understand.

But no matter what, as long as you speak in a friendly manner, even a less-than-ideal policy will make people less resistant to it.

Ariel's move was truly brilliant.

And after the speech ended.

Ariel's gaze suddenly shifted to the audience, and she said:

"Oh dear? What is this cutie trying to do?"

In fact, Zieg did nothing.

He was just looking at Ariel with curiosity.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the real people were watching from a distance, only able to hear Ariel's voice but not see what was happening nearby.

As planned, Hilfi carried Sieg up to him.

The moment that green hair came into view.

A genuine gasp of surprise came from the crowd in the distance.

However, Ariel ignored this and instead gently stroked Sieg's head with a smile on her face.

"What a good boy! He'll definitely grow up to be an outstanding man."

As she said this, she gently kissed Zieg's forehead.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.

"The Kingdom of Asura is an inclusive country, and I look forward to the activities of people of different races in Asura."

Ariel declared this to the audience.

……

Is doing this actually useful?

Because we live in Sharia, which is quite far from the capital.

Can what happens here affect the other side?

It's truly impossible to know.

Regardless, Ariel did indeed help us a lot.

At least.

Since then, Zieg seems much happier.

……

however.

As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world.

After this matter was over, Ariel also made a request to me.

It wasn't really a transaction, just a request.

In other words.

I can refuse if I don't want to.

"But I still hope you can help me out a little, after all, I helped you so much, right? How about you help me out a little? It shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

Ariel said in an ambiguous tone.
