Intermission — Private Discussion Between King and Prince

Several days after what could justifiably be called a historic conversation between Zenjirou, Yngvi, and Representative Rök in Utgard, Yngvi was in a room in Uppasala’s royal palace, Valaskjálf. He was joined by King Gustav and no one else. It was a top-secret meeting between the two.

“That sums it up, father,” Yngvi said, now finished relaying the events of the meeting. “Both we and Capua have assigned space in the city, and my brother-in-law obtained permission to use teleportation to and from it. Utgard is now far closer.”

The king remained silent, shutting his eyes as he mulled over everything that had happened. Then he shook his head to clear it. “I hardly know what to say. I may have been calling this an era of change and revolution, but this is drastic...” He couldn’t contain the soft complaint.

“If you find yourself not keeping up, then you can hand over the throne at any moment. You have a reliable successor right here.”

“I intend to do so as soon as I have made my successor reliable,” Gustav answered curtly as his son pointed at himself with a grin.

Yngvi’s face dropped into a very put-on look of disappointment before he shrugged. “Very well, I will continue my efforts. On that note, I will be going to Capua. I can, can I not, father?” Yngvi’s trip there as the next king of Uppasala was to fulfill his claim of taking a bride from Capua.

“Very well. Even disregarding a connection with Utgard—or even if we focus solely on that—a link with the Capuan royal family and their Space-Time magic is indispensable. Remember that your first wife must be from within the country, or at least the royal families of the Northern Continent.”

With that rather obvious reminder from his father, the prince considered for a moment and then sought confirmation. “Taking the woman from Capua as my first bride is not an option, then, is it?”

“Of course not. If you did, your reign would be pulling Uppasala away from both the influence of the church and the northern five. If the woman was a direct member of the Capuan royal family, you may be able to sway their views, but you cannot wait until Princess Juana is of age.”

There were currently only two female royals belonging to Capua. Aura—being both married and the nation’s monarch—was naturally out of the question. The only other one was Juana, who was still a baby. That meant that the highest-ranked woman that Yngvi could marry would be a member of the high nobility at best. Taking into account their precautions against lineal magic leaving the nation meant that even they may not be an option.

The Northern Continent tended to look down on the Southern Continent. If Uppasala had a noble from there as their first queen with the second and third being from their own nobility, you could practically guarantee no one else would send their nobility there. Indeed, even domestic prospects for a second and third wife could be rather slim in that case.
