The first person Adrienne had chosen to consult with was Meena.
If that was all he had done, no one would have been surprised, but what a surprise, he had dared to choose a time when Val was not nearby.
Although some people thought it was surprising, but Vilhemeena's work ethic as an eight gods' glory was very good.
She always shows up at the castle once every three days, giving regular reports and receiving communication matters.
This is one of the reasons why my dissatisfaction with her did not grow.
For her, she does it for Val, who rarely comes to the castle, but the people around her appreciate it differently.
Adrienne approached her at the right moment when Meena had finished her business for the day.
The place was in the corridor of the castle, and he had only one man in his entourage with him.
'Vilhemeena, I have something to discuss with you. Could you come to the common room?
As Meena is a young woman, she is hesitant to invite him to her private quarters.
It's the same reason why Claude has misgivings about her and Val's friendship.
'I understand,'
Meena nods honestly.
Val had warned her about her attitude towards the royal family, and she decided that she would be fine in the common room.
One of the chambermaids who happened to be passing by gave her a momentary look of surprise.
Her previous attitudes were well known to the attendants.
Her reputation was divided into two parts: "She's a nasty woman who looks up to Yagamihiki," and "It's so cool that she doesn't even flatter the royal family.
There was a possibility that this would be corrected in the future.
Neither Adrienne nor Meena cared about the condition of the chamberlain.
To them, an attendant is not much different from the walls and pillars of a building.
But they don't want to be eavesdropped on and have their information leaked, so Adrienne, who had entered the common room, said to Meena, "Take care of the soundproofing magic.
'Take care of the soundproofing magic.'
It's already deployed.
Adrienne glanced lightly at him, and the kinsmen who followed him were exclaiming.
The speed was unthinkable from their common sense.
They realized that this beautiful elf was also a substandard being called Yagami Akira.
''The consultation is about what happens if Invazion happens.
Adrienne briefly explained the main points and asked her opinion.
'What do you think I'm missing?'
Yes.
Meena avoids an immediate answer.
(Perhaps the main goal of the Emperor is to create an attitude where the Crown Prince seeks advice from those around him and learns who and what to ask.)
'Shouldn't we first assume what happens and what doesn't happen with Invazion? I think it would be dangerous to assume it will happen.
Ah, .......
Adrienne let out a small voice and her eyes widened.
It had become a definite fact that Invazion was going to happen in his mind at some point.
'Yeah, right. It's possible that it won't happen. It was.'
She gave her opinion to the scales of the Crown Prince.
'How about a simple review of the information-related matters first? We don't know who the enemy is, where they are based, or what they want, which is why we are where we are.
''Hmm ...... Is it also important to gather or nurture those who are good at gathering information? As long as we know the enemy, we can get Bartolomeus to take them down.
Adrienne's words and expression revealed her absolute trust in Bartholomeus, the God of Light's God of War.
Meena's expression loosened a bit as she completely agreed with him.
''Is there anything else you can think of?''
No, I don't.
She shook her head at the Crown Prince's question, but this was a lie.
He was concerned that the Emperor would be embarrassed if she answered in so many ways.
'Why don't you ask the others?'
Yes. I'll do that. I'm sorry for your time.
Adrienne listens to her proposal with open arms and sends her off with an apology and a thank you.
This personality, which is unlike that of the royal family, is probably one of the reasons why he is so well-liked.
She doesn't go straight home, but instead shows up at Val's house to report on today's events.
''There's nothing special about the regular meeting of the Eight Divine Light, but the Crown Prince has consulted me.
I guess that means the next emperor's education has begun.
That's how he felt after she told him.
'It's quite rare to find a member of the royal family who isn't afraid to seek advice from those below them. I didn't think it was anyone other than the Emperor.
'I think it's only His Highness Adrian and His Highness Beate. That kind of character.
Val names the youngest prince in addition to the crown prince.
The other emperor's children aren't as bad as Rüdiger's, but they're still proud of their noble birth and proud of their pride.
'Come to think of it, I hadn't yet met Princess Beate.
Meena says, acting as if she hadn't noticed the ants in the garden.
Val knows that he's probably not much interested in them, but that doesn't bother him when it comes to the situation.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
''Let's meet up sometime. His Highness Beate will be pleased.''
