Clovis was waiting.
His glossy jet black hair was hanging casually and he wore a long coat for going out in dark brown, and was going to relax in the city in order to enjoy his holiday.
And the voice of a woman which had been ringing until recently stopped, the door in front of Clovis opened. Annie, who came out from inside, winked in an unnerving manner.
"Thank you for waiting, Sir. Your sister"s fate is with you.”」
When Annie gave way, a small figure appears from behind.
"How do I look? Isn"t it funny?”」
It was Alicia who was wearing a charcoal grey poncho with a hood, and appearing under it with a modest but pretty design was a moss green skirt. Clovis smiled at the restless princess, perhaps because of her unaccustomed outfit.
"Of course. It"s very nice, Alice.”」
Time goes back a little.
That Clovis was partic.i.p.ating in the revolution.
He"s the one who killed Alicia.
After Alicia talked to Clovis about the two of them. When the princess calmed down, the black haired aide opened his mouth.
"Now, as we change the future, the most important question at the moment is how to prevent the war with Ealdar. It is not enough with just the information of your previous life……”」
It seems Clovis had the intention to change the future seriously, which raised her own morale, and Alicia widened her eyes in surprise at that. After showing such a thought in front of his mistress, Clovis nodded with a serious face.
"Let"s explore the situation in the neighboring country for a moment. Fortunately, diplomatic relations are a specialty of the office. In addition, there is also an inst.i.tute of diplomatic relations personally speaking.”」
When her aide managed the situation, Alicia became more and more astonished, because she had examined the domestic situation of the neighboring country closely after a few days.
"First of all, it is Earldar, but we won"t start a war in the next five years.”」
"Is it something that can be a.s.serted like that?"」
In the evening, when it seemed to already became a habit, Alicia blinked at her aide face-to-face, questioning her excellent aide. In addition, Annie and Marsa are usually near them, but they were paid for today and only the two of them were in the room.
"There are some grounds, but the biggest reason is the internal policy reforms that the Empress Elizabeth is working on.”」
Alicia was in a tense atmosphere, and the words he said made her cry. "I think it"s a good thing that Beth has a good sense of humor," he said.
"This also leads to the reason why our mission was sent......no. Currently, Empress Elizabeth is obsessed with promoting the centralization of the state.”」
"...... And.”」
Alicia opened her mouth wide open. Clovis also seemed to have expected Alicia to be confused, took out a piece of large paper.
"See. This is the current political system of our country.”」
She was not sure if this was the case or not, but she did not know if she’ll ever be able to understand that again.
It was hard for her to frown, and Clovis smiled.
"You don"t have to understand everything. If you want me to give an easy-to-understand example, here.”」
He said that, and traced the paper with a finger around the ”Privy Council".
"In our country, except for the Kingdom directly controlled territory, we give the estates to the old-age aristocracy who has a peerage higher than the Marquis, we have left for management. For convenience, the Lords are said to be under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, but they have full power. So far, do you understand?”」
And I said, Oh my G.o.d.」
Alicia nodded with a mysterious face.
“On the other hand, the reforms promoted by Empress Elizabeth are the complete abolition of the feudal lord system. In the same way, instead of the Lords of the n.o.bles, there will be a local government office under the direct control of the local temple. Naturally, independence will be reduced and all will be completely laid under the control of the central.”」
"I don"t know what"s going on, but......no. Do they not get angry the n.o.bility over there with doing such a thing?”」
If we were to make similar reforms in Heilland, the Privy Council would not be silent. Because the members of the Privy Council are all powerful aristocrats who have been given a major territory. If a revolution or something happened, it will be rough for the country.
However, Clovis puffed his neck short.
"There is no one who can glib against that Empress. In addition, Ealdar was a country with a strong centrality. Unlike Heilland, there are many countries with borders, so it is likely that centralization began early on.”」
He pointed his purple eyes at Alicia.
"If the reforms are successful, the power of the country will double. With the spread of enlightenment, there is an increase in momentum to the general public, and it will be a very good tailwind of reform.”」
There is no way to wage a war during such a good opportunity.
.
This is the reason why they would not start a war till five years later.
The beautiful aide who ended his explanation up so, Alicia was just tongue-tied.

Heyo~
Not sure if I translated all of it correctly, but you get the gist. Heilland has a feudal system, Ealdar does not and is currently centralizing itself (Bringing authority under just the Empress and a government system to help with that, so n.o.bles have less power), and will not wage war soon or else it will stop the process. So they still have time to change the future, don’t worry we’ll be going back to the town outing in a couple chapter parts XD Isn"t it adorable? They"re going to be "brother and sister" during the outing lol ^^
