Chapter 179: 179 "Correction" of fate

--all the while feeling like I was walking through a dark, dark cave.

"What's wrong?　...... What are you doing here?

...... Until that day, when I met you, the light.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

If you are born into a poor family, you will be poor until the day you die, and while you may fall, you will never rise unless you are very lucky. This is the country of Stanza.

Samba was born in such a stanza empire, the third son of a poor family, barely a commoner but with a lifestyle not so different from that of the poor. In the Stanza Empire, and in the imperial capital of Iftane, which is inhabited by a wide variety of people, houses like the one in which Samba was born were not particularly rare, and he had spent his childhood helping his parents and older siblings in a very ordinary way ever since he could remember.

--But there was one thing. One thing that was noteworthy about Samba's house was the vast amount of books that occupied one room of the not-so-large house. A young child is naturally interested in books when they are within reach. While being taught how to read and write by his grandparents who had retired, Samba spent his spare time reading every book he could find.

And then he learned. --His own roots.

A hundred and twenty years ago, Samba's direct ancestors were royalty from a small country far south of Iftane. After many years of warfare with the Stanza Empire, and having given up on the royal family who whipped the suffering people even though defeat was in sight, Samba's ancestor chose to leave the country with the wife he had just married. More than ten years after he left the city, the war with the Stanza Empire was over. The royal family, which had resisted until the very end, was slaughtered, down to the newborn babies, and most of the people were made slaves because they could not pay the taxes imposed by the Stanza Empire on the vassals. The only reason why the ancestors of ...... Samba were able to remain commoners was because they had a good amount of savings as former royalty, even if they were corrupt.

It is unlikely that the Stanza Empire would so easily let go of the royal family of a country that had fought to the very end, no matter how much time had passed since the fall. For a while, Samba's ancestors lived in hiding in a corner of the small country, and over a long period of decades, they slowly made their way out to Iftane.

As a former member of the royal family who had seen the end of his country, he had one reason: to find a way to protect and save his former people and their descendants.

In the first place, the aspiration of the ancestors who went into exile was that "in order to save the people who are suffering from war and poverty, we should not stand on high as royalty. If you don't look at the world from the same place and perspective as your people, you will not be able to see what they really need. This has been the family motto of Samba's birth family for generations, and his ancestors have vowed that they will always rescue their people from this predicament, no matter how long it takes.

When I first read that passage as a child, I was only aware of the fact that my family used to be a royal family (that alone was quite a shock to me), but as I grew older and read the same book over and over again, I came to understand my ancestors' aspirations - their regret at not being able to protect their people. He came to understand his ancestor's aspirations and his regret at not being able to protect his people. The fact that one room of the not-so-large house is filled with books is a sign that the family is still carrying on the will of the ancestors. Even if we die in the middle of the road, our aspirations will never be broken as long as we leave behind and connect the history of our country, the records of our people, the footsteps of our ancestors and ourselves ...... with the books that contain this knowledge.

Fortunately, Samba was a very quick-witted child. He studied well, and above all, he was blessed with an observant eye that could tell, by observing people for a while, what they wanted, what would make them happy, and where they were lacking. Using his skills to the best of his ability, Samba tried as much as possible to gain the favor of the rich and powerful, and before he came of age, he was adopted by an old family that had no heir. To the surprise of his family, Samba said, "It's no good just carrying on the will of my ancestors and not forgetting them. If I, a man who can get around reasonably well, can rise to a position where I can have a say in political affairs, it will pave the way for better treatment of the people from the vassal state," he said, and left his birthplace.

--However, reality is always harsher than we think. The family he was adopted into, although old, had stayed out of the political fray for several generations and was not strong enough to fulfill his wish to become a political officer in the Imperial Palace. His adoptive parents, who were impressed by Samba's intelligence, encouraged him to pursue a career in academia rather than the ugly world of politics, and he entered university.

However, there is no particular field of study that Samba wants to pursue at the university, as his goal is to become a political officer and get ahead in life. Although his professors loved him for his ability to get around, he was despised by his peers and harassed on a daily basis because of his low status and lack of research results.

So. ...... That day was supposed to be just another one of those days. If only he hadn't walked by on a whim in the shadows of a building like that, a place rarely frequented by people.

What's wrong?　...... What are you doing here?

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. Even with her back to him, she could tell by his voice and tone that he was naturally used to dealing with people below her, and before she could even think about it, he was on his knees.

I'm sorry to show you my bad side. I'm sorry to show you such an unpleasant sight. ...... There's been a slight mix-up and my lab clothes have become soiled.

"You look like a researcher or a student, not a servant. Don't you think you should be doing the laundry?

No, sir. I'm a researcher, but I'm a novice, so all I can do is help the professors. Then, I would like to be of help in any way I can.

"I see. ......

The next moment, the owner of the muttered voice suddenly relaxed.

I'm sure you're a good washer, despite your lack of knowledge. If you had even one talent, the word 'talentless' would not be appropriate. --No matter what others say about you, you must not belittle yourself.

In a gentle voice and with a gentle sound, he gave me strong and noble words. They opened the eyes of Samba, who had been languishing in a corner of the university, unfaithful because his hopes had been dashed.

Feeling disrespectful, she looked up and caught sight of his back as he left. From the way he was dressed and the way he was acting, he was probably a man on cloud nine. Even though she would never see him again, the fact that a nobleman from the Stanza Empire had found her and called out to her gave her courage. It gives me strength to face the harsh reality once again.

With respect and gratitude. With respect and gratitude, Samba sent off the nobleman who was unknown to him.

...... A few days later, he was summoned by an academic building that he had never been involved with before, and brought in a young special researcher, Exiga Athar Stanzaum - the 18th Prince of the Stanza Empire - to be his assistant and chamberlain. At the time, I had no idea that I was going to be appointed as an assistant and chamberlain to a young special researcher, Exiga Athar Stanzaum - the 18th Prince of the Stanza Empire.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

--When Exiga came back soaking wet, Samba was busy preparing for tomorrow's banquet. He had sent out a message to all the relevant parties, compiled a final list of attendees from the responses to the invitations, and exchanged opinions with the kitchen about the food for the second time.

In the midst of such a chaotic situation, the Lord, of all people, came home soaking wet from top to bottom, so it was only natural that even a non-samba would be taken aback. The moment he saw Exiga, Samba couldn't help but check the weather outside from the open balcony. He wondered if he had been too busy to miss the sudden downpour, but the sky, which was almost dusk, was as clear as a stanza.

"Your Highness, ......?　What's wrong with you, you're so wet?

It's no big deal. I just fell in the pond.

"Just 'fell' into the pond." ......

It's true that there are more water sources here in Lars than in other parts of the stanza, so there are more rivers, ponds and lakes. However, this is only in comparison to other areas of the country, and water sources are not so plentiful that you can accidentally fall in while riding your horse.

Samba asked the contractor and kitchen manager who were visiting the office to leave for a moment, and threw Exiga into the bathroom. Normally, a member of the royal family would be accompanied by several comforting women who would wash his body and hair and share the hot water with him, but Exiga disliked such practices and always used the baths alone. Although unique among the royal families of the stanzas, Exiga was particularly uncomfortable with being taken care of.

While Exiga was using the hot water, Samba got some hot water from the kitchen and brewed some tea. Exiga liked some of the tea blends from the Kingdom of Elgrande so much that she drank more of Elgrande's tea than Stanza's these days.

"Samba.

"You're up, Your Highness. This way, please.

I handed a bowl of tea to the Exiga as he came out of the bathroom. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation. ...... It's not unusual, to say the least, for an Exiga to drink delicate Elgrand tea in such a way that you can't even taste it. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

"...... Your Highness. If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me how you fell into the pond?

"......, that's you. I'm sure you have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about.

............ Princess of the Red Rose, is it?

When I mentioned the street name of Exiga's lover, his expression visibly darkened.

"...... Princess," he said. Princess Diana's heart is unshakeable. The future will not ...... come when the princess will accept my feelings.

"Your Highness, ......

I thought that if I left the country, ...... away from King Elgrand, I would be free of my blind love. I was wrong. The princess' heart is much deeper and fiercer than I thought.

--Exiga was born to a noble family, the son of the current Emperor Stanza, but has lived an unhappy life. For the first time in his life, he has feelings for a girl he met in a foreign country far away from his own country. Deanna Crester, a beautiful princess with golden hair like the sun and blue eyes that look as if they reflect the ocean. Her reputation is not all that great, due to the harshness of her face and the many bad rumors surrounding her family (in fact, when he first saw her, Samba was briefly concerned about Exiga's taste), but if you look at her properly, she is not the "bad girl" she is rumored to be. " but a bright and kind-hearted girl. Samba had guessed early on that Exiga had fallen in love with her, but after all, she was the first in line to King Elgrand's entourage, and the first and most favored princess.

Exiga showed more disgust and anger at this fact than Samba had ever thought possible. It was not uncommon for people of high rank to separate their love from their marital relations. Not only in the Stanza Empire, but, from what I've heard, in the Kingdom of Ergeland as well. ...... Still, the reason why Exiga is so emotional is probably because of her mother, who became fragile because of the selfishness of such a noble person.

--Yes. Among the privileged class of the stanza, who don't even consider people of lower status as human beings, but use them as an outlet for their own desires, Exiga is truly a rare person who cares for others as a person, regardless of their status. As you can see, when you go down to the poor and slaves, you are so unfamiliar with them that you don't think of them as "the lowest class of the class system" and you don't seem to think about their circumstances. But at least they have the ability to see the commoners as people, and they have more potential to grow.

Because of his status as a natural-born member of the royal family, his unconscious arrogance is bound to flicker, but even so, there is no royal family that is as close to the people as Exiga. The respect he had for Exiga when they first exchanged words grew and grew in Samba as he followed him as his assistant and attendant.

--This man would abolish the old status system of the Stanza Empire and create a country where the people would be truly happy.

--If this man becomes the Emperor... If this man becomes the emperor, he will be able to fulfill the aspirations of his ancestors, which have been handed down for more than a hundred years.

...... At some point, I began to think, to wish, and to work secretly to make it happen.

...... It's not too early to give up. It's not the first time that the princess has been unhappy with your highness.

Don't rub salt in the wound. ....... That's what I thought at first, too. But ......

...... What was the deciding factor?

It's not so much that it's mine as it is that it's the princess's ...... face that seems to have lost all hope. I can't help but realize how desperate it is to be mine.

The Diana that Samba knew had given the impression that she had responded to Exiga's courtship with a nonchalant, "As the first in line to King Elgrand's entourage, I cannot accept. It's not so much about Exiga as it is about the fact that both of them seemed to be calmly deciding that there was no room for love in the first place, and that's why Samba (and probably Exiga) decided that there was plenty of room for them. --The more rational a person is, the easier it is for them to become entangled in uncontrollable emotions.

In other words, Deanna's relationship with King Elgrand was to some extent a rational one. Exiga was angry at King Ergeland's unfaithfulness because of her love for Diana, and resented the pity she felt for Diana who was devoted to him, but from Samba's point of view, Diana was not that much in love with King Ergeland. It was true that they had a heart-to-heart relationship and trusted each other, but it was more of a love affair and friendship.

However, it is possible that Deanna misunderstands her own feelings as love, and it is hard to say that Exiga is out of line. Because of this conclusion, Samba continued to secretly support Exiga from behind the scenes so that he could win Diana.

--This was all for the purpose of setting the stage for Exiga to take the throne.

The highest barrier to Exiga's ascension to the throne was her status. Exiga, whose mother did not come from a prominent family, or even from a side family in the first place, was far behind the other princes in terms of starting line. The fact that one's birth determines one's life is a karma that all stanzans can't escape, I guess.

Somehow, he wanted to get rid of the barrier of "status" imposed on him by the Exiga, and correct his misplaced starting position. With this in mind, Samba was secretly working his way around. When he heard that the emperor was considering sending an envoy to the Kingdom of Elgrand, he arranged for the emperor to hear about Exiga's talent for languages and his outstanding insight into neighboring countries. And so, as a member of the royal family, she became a representative of the royal delegation, and the princess he found in a foreign country was a woman of equal status and talent to the queen.

The Earl of Crester is the most prestigious noble family in the Kingdom of Ergeland. As their daughter, Diana has already proven herself to be an effective deputy queen in the Elgrand palace, where there is no queen. She has a good command of the Stanza language, and is aware of her position in politics, and her concern for her people is like that of a legendary saint.

If Deanna becomes Exiga's consort and the Kingdom of Elgrand becomes her backer, Exiga's position in the Imperial Palace will change drastically. You'll be able to get enough to compete for the throne. I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea. ...... Exiga genuinely wanted such a woman out of love, not politics.

--You'd think it was fate. He was convinced that the heavens wanted Exiga to become emperor, and that she was setting the world in motion to make that happen.

And so he invited Diana to join him in the Stanza Empire, and seeing Exiga's face change day by day, influenced by Diana's unchanging compassion for the ...... poor, he became more and more convinced.

Deanna was Exiga's "destiny".

Their union would bring about kinship and friendship between the Empire of Stanza and the Kingdom of Elgrand, bring Exiga closer to the throne, and allow Diana to leave behind her tentative love and be truly loved. If only Exiga and Diana would join hands, the world would turn for the better.

It is possible that His Highness, ......, is mistaken in his thinking?　Is it possible that your highness is mistaken? Did the princess clearly reject you verbally?

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this subject in the future. The ...... princess said clearly. You can't give up your heart, you can only give up your body, which has lost all hope and is a shell of a soul.

(......) What do you mean?

(What do you mean?) I don't think the princess would use that kind of language just to dodge the Exiga. I've been watching her for a while now and I've come to realize that while her face and power may mislead those around her, she would never lie about her words or actions. She wouldn't go to the trouble of acting like she was in love with the King of Elgrand just to shake the Exiga. ...... Or rather, she wouldn't be able to.

(The only thing I can think of is: ...... is there someone else she has feelings for besides King Elgrand?

But she's a concubine. Elgrand's palace is basically a no-men's court, although the stanzas seem to be less strict. As far as Deanna's observations about Exiga were concerned, there was no sign of any man other than King Elgrande in her life.

Is it possible that she has been in love with the man she met before she became his wife? However, if she has a loved one, I feel that she would firmly reject the position of the king's wife, even if unofficially.

(In any case, ...... can't just stand idly by and watch.

(In any case, I can't just sit on my hands like this at .) Even if Deanna has people in her life, the fact remains that Exiga's destiny is hers. --If Deanna doesn't realize it and has her heart set on someone else, it's for her own good to fix it. Losing the love you have now will be hard, but it will only be for a while. In the not-too-distant future, when she is surrounded by Exxiga's love, she will realize that this path was the right one.

No one can be happy if they defy the laws of the heavens--.......

I know what you mean. It's almost evening, Your Highness, please eat your meal and rest for the day.

"...... samba?

Perhaps the Princess of the Red Rose was just confused by the suddenness of the situation. What the two of you need now is rest and some time to cool down.

No, ...... no amount of time will turn the princess' heart against me. I appreciate your sentiments, Samba, but I've seen the princess's face firsthand and I understand.

"If His Highness says so much, then perhaps it is true. I've always believed that there are no absolutes in this world.

I've always believed that there are no absolutes in the world. ...... You're still so soft on me.

--In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. On his way, he grabbed a passing attendant and told him to bring the merchant who was waiting in another room to the office.

The merchant arrived not long after Samba had returned to the office, and he opened his mouth with only a superficial smile.

I apologize for the hurry. As a matter of fact, I have one more item that I need for tomorrow's banquet.

"Well, thank you very much. However, if it is a rare item, it may take some time to obtain. ......

I don't think it's that rare because it's common in the imperial palace of Iftarne. It is a flower that is used by the ladies of the harem.

(Don't let this end with His Highness ...... giving up on the Red Rose Princess. The two of you simply haven't realized the true nature of each other yet. I will definitely connect the thread of fate between your highness and the princess!

While exchanging words with the merchant with a smile, Samba made a strong and firm vow in his heart.
