“Haa…

Then please let me speak to you your majesty as the representative of the civilians.

We can only take care of the work here without you for 10 days.

That’s why we can allow a 10-day vacation.”

“What!? Are you going to accept it!?”

“Your majesty, you’re practically useless as you are right now so please go on a trip or wherever necessary.

Of course please at least bring the imperial guards squad with you.

Really, this really brings trouble to the military executives…………..”

“Guhh…………..How do you say that.”

“Did you say something?  Should we reject your plea for a vacation?”

“!………………… I didn’t say anything!”

“However, we need your approval on some documents because you are going for a 10-day trip.

That’s why you’ll almost be completely busy for the next 2 days.”

“Eh?”

The king stiffened.

The civilian representative ignored him and continued.

“Also, just because you are going to be staying at Earl Elvis’s home, you cannot overwhelm the Earl, Lady Alice, or her fiancé. You cannot give them any problems.

For that reason, the full authority of this trip will be given to Princess Layla.”

“Ah? Is it fine for you to give it to me?”

“Yes, it’s fine.

For example, even if the king objects to the engagement of Lady Alice, as long as Princess Layla accepts it, no matter what the king says, we will agree to princess Layla.

Besides, we don’t think that princess Layla would want to object to her younger sister’s engagement.”

“Understood, I will take full control of this trip.”

“Thank you.

Now then, your majesty, let’s go.”

All the civilian executives stood up and took the king with them.

The king of Azpearl followed behind them silently.

Layla, William, and the military officers were left in the hall.

“Father has returned back to work.”

“That’s right. He needs to do his best now.”

The couple looked at the door that the king had just used to exit the room.

“Haaa………..

Princess Layla, what should we do?”

The 2nd commander knight let out a sigh and asked Layla.

“About what?”

“The vacation has been decided for 10 days. It takes 9 days by carriage to reach the Elvis house.

How do we complete the round trip in 10 days?”

“That’s right………………….president of the imperial guard, do you remember what happened 2 years ago?”

“Ha?……….No, I just remember the squad leaders having fun.”

“Is that so…………….. I reached the Elvis house in 4 days.”

“EH?”

“How did you do that?”

“I rode the carriage day and night?”

“………No way…………”

“Yes, let’s do the same this time. The journey to and fro will take 8 days and we will stay there for 2 days.”

Layla smiled.

“Oh, dear.”

William smiled wryly.

That day –

Half of the soldiers from the 1st and 2nd knight squad and many from the imperial guards left the royal capital.

The 1st and 2nd squad knights cleared the route to the Elvis house with a one km radius around it.

……….One month later, a civilian around there asked the person in charge.

“The beast has suddenly left, what happened? Is it a precursor to a natural disaster!?”

The person in charge could only smile in response………..

The imperial guards stayed in each town and took the lead in serving as escorts to princess Layla and recruited the replacement horses for the carriage.

Layla left the hall and to send an emergency message to Earl Elvis.

The content was –

“Father in law, the 3rd prince and his concubine, me, Layla will be coming there with regards to the case of the ring.

We will leave depart from here 2 days after I dispatch this letter, and we will reach there 6 days after I dispatch this letter.

This matter is to be kept a secret from Alice and her fiancé.”

After sending the letter, William and Layla went out to town to buy some celebratory gifts.
