The coup d’état by Crown Prince Jean ended in failure thanks to our efforts.
The Capetien Kingdom thoroughly investigated those involved in the coup, and as a result, the involvement of the Knight Commander and over a hundred others was revealed.
In response, King Salomon imposed a harsh punishment, executing all hundred individuals as well as their entire families.
More than twenty noble families were abolished, and the Royal Knights were almost completely destroyed.
Although the national treasury was enriched by the property confiscated from the abolished noble families, the management of the territories that became directly controlled by the country and the security of the Royal Palace were in disarray, making the urgent replenishment of personnel a pressing issue.
And then.
“I hereby appoint Eline-Vanessa de Capetien as Crown Princess.”
“I, Eline, humbly accept this appointment.”
Only two weeks after preventing the coup, King Salomon held the Crown Princess’s inauguration ceremony.
Of course, Eline was widely publicized throughout the kingdom as the hero who suppressed the coup, and the people responded with great cheers to the birth of a new successor.
“So, what are you going to do now?”
“Well… the story of going to the Dehauvalz Kingdom with you has disappeared with this incident. For a while, I’ll help my sister.”
Lisette, who was mingling among the people who came to see the inauguration ceremony, shrugged her shoulders and said.
She should have attended in the seat of the Royalty, but she refused.
“What about after that?”
“After that… well, you know, I’ve never actually been outside of this Capetien Kingdom… no, not even outside of this Royal Capital Saint-Gene. Since I have the chance, I might as well go around and see what other places are like.”
“Ahaha, I see.”
Lisette smiles as she watches Eline, with her clear Amethyst Eyes, waving to the people with a smile.
It seems she has already decided how she wants to live her life from now on.
“In that case, you should definitely come to Dehauvalz. We welcome you, our friend.”
“Of course. The beginning of my journey is destined to be in the country where my friends are.”
“Fufu… I’m looking forward to Princess Lisette’s visit…”
“Lize.”
“Eh…?”
“W-we’re friends, aren’t we? In that case, I’ll specially allow you to call me ‘Lize’.”
With her face bright red, Lisette… no, Lize, declared haughtily.
Ahaha. Even after all this, the tsundere “Incompetent Villainess” doesn’t seem to change.
“I see. Then you can call me Hal.”
“Please call me Sandra, Lize-sama.”
“The ‘sama’ is unnecessary! Call me Lize properly! Sandra!”
“If you insist, Lize.”
Amidst the cheers of the people, we laughed a lot.
With the joy of meeting a Precious Thing in a land that was once an enemy country.

“Phew… even though there were many things, I’m relieved that I was able to fulfill my role as Goodwill Ambassador safely.”
On the deck of the ship heading to the Dehauvalz Kingdom, I exhale deeply.
Although I had a vague premonition, as expected, the Scenario of Lize, the heroine of “EnHaza,” occurred, and after resolving it, I was able to secure her promise to study abroad.
King Salomon was also very grateful, and I don’t think I could have expected any more results than this.
“Yes, as expected of Lord Hal. I truly believe it was a good thing that that scum didn’t accompany this Delegation. If he had come along, this visit would have undoubtedly ended in failure.”
“A-ahaha…”
Sandra looks at the sea and smiles wryly.
I can only nod, chuckling at her harsh words, but she’s right.
“But we can’t let our guard down. When we were departing for the Capetien Kingdom, Wilfred seemed to have some ulterior motives. Considering that, there’s a possibility that something unexpected will happen to us when we return. It’s better to be cautious.”
“That’s right… although I’ve received word from my brother that ‘there are no strange movements within the Royal Palace,’ that scum is cunning… “
While we were staying in the Capetien Kingdom, I was exchanging letters with Cedric via carrier pigeon, but as she said, the only news from the Dehauvalz Kingdom was that it was peaceful, and that he was worried about Sandra.
That’s why I’m even more anxious… I mean.
“It’s okay. Even if that scum tries to do something, I’m here. Monica, Caz, the Chevalier family… no, everything you’ve built up until now will surely protect Lord Hal.”
“…Yes, you’re right.”
Sandra takes my hand and holds it to her chest, looking at me with loving eyes.
With just that, my anxiety disappears in an instant, and I feel like I can do anything.
“Ahaha! We’ll be back in the kingdom in a few hours! Let’s take some time to recover from the fatigue of this trip!”
“Yes!”
Looking at the land of Dehauvalz approaching before us, we smiled, leaning against each other.
And then.
“Harold-aniue. I have been entrusted with the Royal Guard by Father… His Majesty Aival.”
Wilfred, who greeted our Delegation even though we didn’t ask him to, boasted about it with a hateful smile.
