Chapter 89: Lynn and the Führer
My name is Lynn Foreclaude.
She is the daughter of Duke Foreclaude, who holds territories in the northern part of the Kingdom of Londeria.
Since I was born, I have lived a life without inconvenience.
It’s not that I’m bragging, but my family is of ducal rank. It is a noble family of high standing that traces its ancestry back to the royal family, and it is a noble that holds a high position in the Kingdom of Londeria.
I’ve never had any financial troubles, and I’ve been able to do whatever I wanted.
I had no worries about the future.
It is my older brother’s duty to take over the family, as for myself, I will probably just marry off for political reasons somewhere in the future. And, even like this, I am still a well-bred young lady of a respectable family.
Like the daughter of a lower-class noble, I am not desperate to marry, but I do get a lot of good proposals.
A well-maintained path has already been laid out for me in my life, and all I have to do is walk straight on it.
Is life really that simple… Even I had those kinds of feelings.
It was so boring that I ended up seeking challenges by pretending to be a knight and defeating bandits, or by pretending to be an adventurer and defeating magical beasts.
Even for someone like me, I am now facing a difficulty in the truest sense of the word.
It’s not a game of make-believe knights.
I have undertaken an important mission that will determine the future of the country.
“Listen, Lynn. The time has come. I believe you also understand how important this mission is.”
“Yes, I understand, Your Majesty. I intend to fulfill my duties as a noble.”
In recent years, a vehicle called a steam locomotive has been brought from a country called the Yamato Empire.
I am riding with Her Majesty the Queen in a passenger car pulled by this strange vehicle that moves forward while puffing out smoke.
Standing in the corridor of the compartment-style passenger car, waiting in front of the door. Beyond this door is the Führer of the Yamato Empire, Her Excellency Eryutheia.
The Yamato Empire―― in the current Kingdom of Londeria, there is no one who does not know of that country.
One day, suddenly, a superpower from across the sea arrived on an enormous steel ship.
They possess superior technology, their combat ability is the best in the human countries. So much so that it overwhelmed the elves who can skillfully use magic, and now it is said that those who took Yamato’s side will dominate the world.
Even their economic power is monstrous.
Yamato yen has been entering into the domestic economy, and Yamato capital has been penetrating into every major industry.
Domestically, it has reached the point where it is overflowing with cheap and high-quality Yamato products.
Yamato has become such a significant entity that upsetting its mood could lead to the country’s downfall.
And then…
“Listen, if we open this door, you will meet with Her Excellency Eryutheia. You do understand how important the first impression is, don’t you?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, I believe I understand very well.”
“Very well, then do your best. In order to leave a good impression on Excellency Eryutheia.”
Yes, the task entrusted to me is to establish a friendly relationship with Excellency Eryutheia.
The famously rumored ‘Führer of the Thighs’. My mission was to attend the same school as her and trick her into making a favorable decision for our kingdom of Londeria.
Gulp, I swallow my saliva.
What mission could be as important as this?
From the time the Führer Eryutheia expressed her desire to attend school, to the time the decision was made to enroll her in Hellerford Aristocratic School, I have been fully aware of the immense cost our country has to pay.
Our country gave them everything they asked for.
The military stationing rights to protect the Führer, land for the establishment of airfields, funds for various infrastructure installations including the construction of railways…
At great expense, our country succeeded in attracting Führer Eryutheia.
We cannot afford to let this operation fail.
If it succeeds, it will brighten up the country’s future, and if it fails, it will merely be an enormous expense. This is truly a mission worth betting your life on.
I know why I was chosen for this mission.
According to the investigation by the kingdom’s intelligence agency, it is because I am the upper noble who most closely matches Führer Eryutheia’s preferred appearance. According to them, Führer Eryutheia’s preference is someone who “appears cool and composed when silent, but inside they are closet perverts.”
Of course, it’s not just someone who looks cool but is also a closet pervert.
Being the most beautiful girl in the country is also one of the conditions.
The maid who is always with Führer Eryutheia apparently looks like that.
……A closet pervert. I have a lot to say, but I suppose that’s fine.
With Her Majesty the Queen’s knock, a voice resounds from inside the compartment.
We are at the beginning of our mission.
“Oh, there’s a knocking sound. You can come in.”
A voice that responds to the knock, this voice is… It sounds familiar, but it’s not the voice of Führer Eryutheia.
Her Majesty opened the door, checked inside, stiffened for a few seconds, and then quickly closed the door after saying a few words.
The door was open for only a short time. Thanks to this, I was unable to check inside.
“Your Majesty, did you have the wrong room?”
“No, I’m not mistaken. However, Char was there. Since that girl failed to invite Führer Eryutheia to Freyd, so it seems she has decided to come herself instead. Being about to turn thirty, wearing that outfit is a bit too much…”
Her Majesty weakly shakes her head.
Char― I know that name, she is the Queen of Freyd. I’ve met her several times since I was a child. Over there, the Queen herself is coming in person, aiming to win over the Führer’s favor…
This is going to be a big problem.
Let’s take a moment to breathe.
Compose yourself and open the door once more. And then…
“Führer Eryutheia, this is my relative, Lynn Foreclaude. She will be your classmate at Hellerford this year.”
“My name is Lynn Foreclaude as introduced to you. Führer Eryutheia, I am honored to work with you.”
Upon entering the room, I bow my head and greet her politely.
As I raised my face, I noticed… There was an angel there.
She is a beautiful girl.
Her silver hair sparkles under the sunlight streaming through the window, and her white thighs, as if imbued with some kind of magical power, captivate my gaze.
Shaking off that magical influence, when I looked at her small face, she appeared pure and delicate…
As I was staring at her face, she said, “Is there something on my face?” And she looked back at me with a slightly anxious expression.
The word that came to my mind when I saw her expression was “maternal instinct.”
She has a small, petite build, needless to say, compared to me, who is taller than women in my age group, she is probably at least 5 cm shorter than the average height.
But that’s what makes it so irresistible.
So delicate and must be protected, it stimulates my maternal instincts.
As a noble myself, I was confident that I possessed a certain level of beauty, but I didn’t feel like I could win against her.
The black-haired girl sitting next to Führer Eryutheia… Probably, this is the maid called Ayame I’ve heard about in the rumors.
She’s saying something to Führer Eryutheia, but this is not the time for that.
I just stare at her as if I am so captivated by her.
“Then, I’ll leave the rest to the young people…”
Her Majesty said so, and then she left the compartment, leaving me standing at the entrance.
……That’s right, it’s a mission. I have a mission. An important mission that must be carried out.
I cannot afford to stand around absentmindedly in a place like this. But, what should I do…
“Err, Lynn-san. You are okay, right?”
For a moment, as I stood there not knowing what to do, Führer Eryutheia timidly asked me.
Such a kind person. She gave me the opportunity to have a conversation.
“Yes, that’s correct.”
In front of Führer Eryutheia, I kneel and give a knight’s bow… Oh no, I’ve messed up.
The compartment is too narrow. Führer Eryutheia sits in her seat, and me kneeling before her.
Yes, in front of my eyes are the thighs of Führer Eryutheia.
It’s no good. I can’t take my eyes off it, my consciousness is being drawn in. I cannot resist this magic power.
My body loses its strength… I collapse. What lies ahead is―― a thigh.
“Hueh! Hey, are you okay?”
I heard the voice of panicked the Führer Eryutheia.
I guess that’s only natural, anyone would be surprised if someone suddenly buried their face in their thigh.
But, how soft could these thighs be? And yet, it’s smooth. The smell is irresistible. It has a sweet and pleasant scent that calms you down.
I don’t want to leave this place…
“Wait, wait! What are you doing to my Eryu-san!”
I can hear the voice of an agitated girl.
Immediately after, something grabs the back of my neck. She then peeled me away.
And then she tossed me into the seat next to Queen Char as if I were a piece of garbage.
“Eryu-san, are you okay? Ah, there’s blood on your thighs! Could you be injured?”
“No, it’s not my blood. Um, Lynn-san, there’s blood…”
……Blood? Ah, it’s nosebleed. It won’t stop. I must have gotten too excited.
“Did you collapse due to anemia?”
Führer Eryutheia misunderstood something, but… Huh, wait? My blood on Führer Eryutheia’s thigh?… Somehow, indecent feelings are welling up from the depths of my chest. I feel so guilty.
“Ohohoho! You’ve always been, no, you’re even more of a closet pervert than you used to be.”
Queen Char laughs at such things, but… Hmph, it seems I am indeed a pervert. I’m starting to look forward to life as a student with Führer Eryutheia.
Shall we start as friends first?
