Jin and Elsa are leaning back on the sofa in the guest room.
Reiko offered them Persica juice.
"Here you go, Father, Miss Elsa."
"Oh, thank you."
"Thank you." "Thank you."
Drinking the cold Persica juice, I felt a little clearer.
"Tomorrow will probably be a quieter day, so that's good... what's left of the Kingdom of Franz..."
"...... Catherine's country."
"Yes, of course."
Catherine de Lafayette.
I met her when I was involved in a case involving a demon tribe. She's the mother of the king.
"Is she the Queen Mother now?"
Erza denied Jin's words.
"No. "No. A queen mother is the mother of the previous king, not the mother of the current king.
"I see. But now that you mention it, I see what you mean.
Elsa knows more about this system of status than Jin.
"Hmm. The king's queen is the queen. Even if the next king isn't his son, the queen mother will be his wife.
I see. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Erza smiled mischievously, and Jin couldn't help but hug her, loving the look on her face.
Reiko, seeing this, dimmed the lights in the room and went outside.

"Please take it easy today."
The next day, at 8:30 a.m., after a light breakfast, Jin and Elsa were visited by Prime Minister Powell.
The Prime Minister himself tells Jin and Elsa
"It's just a quiet tea party ...... luncheon in the name of an after-party.
"Yes, I understand."
Jin decides to take it easy since he has no plans until midnight.
At 9:30 a.m., Princess Rieschen arrives.
She is accompanied by Tia, Jessica, and Gloria.
"Gin, Elsa, are you bored?"
The princess says this at the beginning of her speech. Jin replies with a laugh.
"Yes, I'm a little bored, to be honest.
I thought I could at least talk to you, didn't I? I thought I could at least talk to you.
As for Jin, he is glad that Gloria is with him.
The reason why Jin called Gloria was because he thought that in his position, if he was perceived as favoring a particular individual, it would be bad not only for himself but also for Gloria.
"Tia, you seem to be in good shape.
"Yes, Jin-sama. Thanks to you.
But Jin started off by talking about something safe.
