Meanwhile, two very similar-looking royals—each with silver hair and blue eyes—were seated on either side of a table.

“It’s been a while, Freya. I’m glad to see you well.”

“You too, Yngvi.”

They were Princess Freya and Prince Yngvi of Uppasala, the first princess and second prince. Being twins, the two of them were very similar. In terms of the actual order they were born in, Freya was the older of the two, but Yngvi still claimed to be her big brother and wouldn’t refer to her as “older” even in private. That led to both of them claiming to be the older of the two, forming a bizarre equality between them.

Being male and female royals, it took quite the effort to arrange a meeting, but they had grown up together sharing bed and meals alike. He was the member of the royal family she got along best with.

“You took longer than I expected, though,” she told him. “I thought you would show up the day after I returned.”

Yngvi was similar enough in his curiosity—though focused differently—that no one doubted they were twins, and Freya felt like he had taken his time arranging the meeting considering that.

The silver-haired prince pouted at his female reflection. “That’s mostly your fault. You messed up with Princess Anna in the commonwealth, so we had to put the navy on alert in Logfort because of the risk of war. We only finished today. I might even have to board Naglfar. I suppose the rest of it would be His Majesty’s fault? This would normally be Eric’s job, but he’s currently on the Southern Continent,” he said unhappily.

Freya wasn’t entirely comfortable with him pointing it out so strongly either. “Sorry,” she apologized quietly, looking away. “Father said the same. So, things will affect us as well.”

“Well,” Yngvi said, comforting his slumped twin, “I don’t think it will amount to much. It’s a matter of speed. If the commonwealth clashes with them in truth, then we can’t just sit and watch regardless. Tuurukku and Berggen are doing the same.”

“What about Utgard and Ofus?”

“Ofus hasn’t made any moves yet. They have the strongest presence from the church of the five of us, so they can’t act carelessly in this situation. Utgard will probably keep their usual neutrality. Whatever happens, they’re not going to move until the end of things,” Yngvi said, summing up the reactions of the five northern countries, including their own.

While they were the same age, being a male, Yngvi had been placed into military and political roles and thrived.

“It’s a shame you got caught up in things, but considering the international situation, we’re better off if the commonwealth doesn’t get routed by the knights. We’ll have to follow Princess Anna’s desires regardless. The risks are too high to send reinforcements, but we have to at least deter them.”

“Hm? If we’ll have to do so anyway, then wasn’t that a mistake on her part? The result will be the same either way, but this way there’s bad blood between us.
