The core administration is for organizing the people’s lives and managing the country and that part not working properly greatly affects the lives of the people now and in the future…
Even if I do not engage in political affairs, I know that.Being the things like that, sooner or later, this country will self-destroy itself or will it await being attacked by other countries …?The fact that this country will self-destroy itself before being attacked is neither a metaphor, nor an exaggerated expression.Under such circumstances, I’m worrying more about my husband who kept working soon after I was absent.“I wonder if Iris workaholic personality comes from my husband.. that possibility is very likely.”I murmured while thinking.The next moment, my husband opened his eyes thinly for a while.“…Have you come back, Mary?”“Have you woken up?”“More or less… Do you know anything about Iris?”He asked me worried with a hoarse voice.“Do not worry husband, Iris is safe, my father just said me that Prince Alfred was victorious, the circumstances of the Duke of Almeria house will also turn around … that means, this is a victory for Iris too”“… Really … I’m relieved to hear that…”As he muttered and relaxed while breathing out of relief, my husband closed his eyes again.I am worried about my husband’s physical condition so I continue to check the situation, yet I hear his restful and regular sleep, and I feel relieved.Am I worrying too much?Every time he closes his eyes, I think that it might be an eternal sleep this time, that’s my greatest fear.When I kissed my husband’s forehead, I got up and left from a separate door from the door I came in.This door doesn’t look like a door at first sight.It is perfectly assimilated with the wall, and it will be impossible to open without knowing its existence.Hidden rooms and hidden passages connected by these entrance doors are always present in a nobleman’s mansion.In this mansion, and also in the territory mansion, there were not many such rooms.It is a small room that can be safely called a storeroom what lies beyond the door.It doesn’t have any decoration nor furniture.Only a small round table and a chair paired with it that were placed in the center of the room.I sit on that chair.It is not luxurious, cushioned like our usual sitting.It was more like a block of wood.After I sit there, I pick up the sword that I casually placed on the desk.As for that sword, like the furniture in this room, it has no decorations.I grasp it for a while… Then, I pull the sword out of the sheath.It is a real blade what you can see at a single glance. It has many years of being used, but carefully maintained.I put the sword close to my forehead and closed my eyes.This sword that usually is training with me, my partner, is now accompanying me…While remembering I calm my breathing. Like praying…
Then, I started to do maintenance for that sword. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know so we can fix it as soon as possible.
