A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 588: The Combination of Sadness and Joy Part 9
Although it was with Count Doria that it happened, Reurus, who had returned to the rented house, gathered in the living room to begin talking about an alliance between the Barons of Amendura and Velg, and the Baroness of Varza.
Only Reurus, Natalia, and Louis, as well as Sebastian, participated in the service, while the others left their seats.
"Huh? Am I... or do the Baroness Valza bite an ally?
"That's right… With your family name and family crest recognized, you are now" officially ”the head of the Baron Valza family.If we're going to make an alliance, we have to be the head of the family. "
I was already in the position of a Baroness, but it was not until recently that I was recognized as a Baroness of Varza.However, even if I was told to judge as the owner of the family, I would be in trouble.
"Well, even if you say so... unlike Collard, I suddenly became a quasi-bar, so I don't know anything about it, and I don't know what to base my judgment on..."
I've never acted as a samurai or a knight like Collard.As a realuse, Roku doesn't know what kind of life the world's quasi-bar is leading, so it's impossible to judge.
"Well... you know that your judgment puts the whole family at risk, don't you?Ah, the people in this house are going to be wives for now, Lord Ruvillia, and Eliza. "
"... how's everybody in town?
"I am not a man in your house, but a people of mine.I'm not saying I can't get tired if I'm bad at it, but if you do something... even now, your actions and judgments could lead to Eliza's murder.Just remember that. "
To Natalia, whose voice was so low, Reurus looked reluctant.I was told that Elizabeth and Ruville were clearly in control of their lives, but I couldn't say anything bad about it.
"Natalia, you don't have to threaten me like that, do you?I have a guardian named you, but I can protect you as much as I can from becoming my brother-in-law. "
"Even if the Reurus does something, I'm not going to cover it up... but in the first place, I think we should be careful not to do it."
"That's... well, I guess so..."
It was Louis who was setting out a rescue ship to Reurus, but he couldn't help but accept Natalia's words.Reurus, bitterly smiling at the state of Louis, opened his mouth with Sebastian's brewed tea.
"In other words, you can make a decision and move so as not to cause trouble to you or Mr. Lewis.Very well. "
Previously, as a human being in the abandoned city of Laval and the Baron of Amendura, Natalia was “under the protection” of Natalia, but from now on, Natalia must act equally if necessary as a Baron of Valza.
From Natalia's point of view, it also means we can't treat Reurus the same way.
(Well, if I go back to Speranza, I'll be fine as always....)
Even if it is a standing position like Natalia's subordinates externally, it is not particularly troublesome as a realuse.
"... so? What exactly is an alliance?
Natalia sighs as if she had perceived Reurus' thoughts as Reurus reverses the conversation.But there was nothing to blame, and he drank a sip of tea and opened his mouth.
"When it comes to alliances, we decide on the distance and size of the houses we make, the power and specialties we have, the relationship with the royal palace, and other transfers and abilities, so there's no such thing as" this. ”
"For example, between the Counts of Werg and Reurus… it is common for the Baroness of Varza to form an alliance based on your marital relationship with Reurus."
As he talks about Natalia, Lewis opens his mouth and explains to Reurus.
"From Reurus' point of view, the home of the right-wife... yeah, that's right, the home of the right-wife, so if there's anything I can do for the Count Werg family, I can help you.On the contrary, it's my sister's daughter-in-law.If there's anything I can do to help.But when you compare the two houses, the part where you can help is different, right?
"Well... that's right."
"We have a fairly large population in terms of the Earls, and agriculture and industry are fairly good.If you need money and stuff, you can provide it, and there's a decent number of soldiers. "
While saying so, Louis distorts his mouth and laughs bitterly.
"However, as far as soldiers are concerned, no one as strong as you... will die in vain if you fight someone you want to help.Of course, if you ask me, I'll send you all the numbers. "
"I won't let you go there..."
"My sister's daughter-in-law.My brother-in-law asked for help, but he didn't respond, which is a bad reputation.Especially if it's a martial arts family, it could be fatal. "
As Lewis rightly says, if we're going to die in vain, then we don't need rescue.Of course, I fully understand what Lewis is saying about "face.”
"Speaking of which, if there is one thing I would like you to help me with... Spiritualism or Gregorianism?There may be times when we don't have enough power to help. "
(Even though I said it was a martial arts family... it is unjust for me not to respond to my request.)
How often and what kind of battles do you get involved in?We don't know where it is, but we won't pretend to entrust everything to reinforcements from elsewhere.
"In the case of the Baron of Amendura, do you now have materials transported by the Earl of Velg?It's in the form of support, but it's only possible because we have friendly relationships.The more relationships you can call alliances, the better you can hope for... "
"Hahaha... because I believe there's a reward for that, right?We've just replaced it, and there are parts that are not stable. "
Natalia laughed deeply while explaining, and Louis smiled back to respond.
"But if someone as famous as you made an alliance with the main house, it would be very effective... because this is something I can tell you, Mr. Reurus?
"If you rub it with the Counts of Werg, I'll come out with you, and you'll threaten me like that.
"That's what it's like to say without decorating your words.That's right, if I put you out too far ahead, it'll be licked if we don't have the power, so I guess I'll use it as a powerful "show tag.”
It seems that they rarely imitate the actual "cut the bill”.If it still works, there are likely to be a lot of houses that make alliances.
"Our southern aristocracy has the Marquis of Grimer on top, which is kind of close to an alliance.The Marquis de Grimer will be the arbiter of the southern aristocracy if they have a bad relationship with each other, if they rub it or if they actually bump into each other.Instead of gathering the southern aristocracy, we also show due consideration.That's the relationship. "
"As in the case of Count Doria this time, when I rubbed with nobles elsewhere, he would interact with" superiors from the other side ”and move so that the problem wouldn't grow bigger... I might be angry about pushing Ruvillia into your wife..."
"Why... why do you even talk about marriage?
As far as Louis is concerned, I don't think he needs permission from the Marquis de Grimer.However, I am worried about what Louis is worried about.
"I don't have a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law who will come to me, and I'm often an intermediary, but in your case, if you recruit someone to marry you, it's because... as Marquis de Grimal, I wanted to sell my gratitude to people and make it work for myself and the southern aristocracy..."
"... you don't think I'm married to Ruville?I'm not going to let you go if something goes wrong.... "
"No... I thought it might be hard for the Marquis Grimer to scatter the distractions from the surroundings of the runaway Count Werg family..."
"Ah...."
Reurus thought that would do nothing.As a result, Leonardo, the King, gave me permission, but I couldn't stop feeling dissatisfied.
That's how Leurus and Natalia will build a partnership with Louis in the name of an alliance.
Baron Amondola is pioneering at an unprecedented pace, but residents have not moved from the abandoned city of Laval, and instead of taking taxes, it is now impossible to get enough crops for residents to live on.
As far as strength is concerned, we have begun to assemble a leader with Collard as our captain, but it will not be long before it takes shape.As a result, if anything happened to the Count Werg family, Reurus, who could literally run straight for the shortest distance, took the form of Natalia covering all the costs of the journey.
The only ones who struggle seem to be Reurus, but Reurus really doesn't know if he should go to help or what to do if he does.That's why I wanted Natalia to judge them.
As a realuse, "judgment around it” is now in the form of a round throw to Natalia.If you welcome Ruvillia to your wife, you will talk to Ruvillia, and Reurus will judge for himself, but it was impossible at the moment.
"In some cases, there will be a leader led by Lord Collard... I don't know what he's saying, but he's so powerful that he doesn't think he's an emerging baron... no, really..."
After the conversation was over, Louis murmured with a bitter smile, but with envy from his heart.Reurus laughed bitterly when he heard it - there he hit him like he remembered something.
"Ah, speaking of which... Mr. Lewis, I'm sorry to sound like a runner, but could you leave a message for Ruvillia?
"Of course, it doesn't matter.But if you want to whisper love, please ask your sister directly. "
That's what Louis laughs at when he jokes.Reurus laughs deeply at Louis and speaks of the matter.
"Haha, that's not what I meant... When you're done with Count Doria, tell him that I'm going to take another tour of the King's Capital that I promised...I'll let you know when it's done, but I'll pick you up from here. "
"Ah... ah, ah... that's what I was talking about... yeah, that's what I'll tell my sister if you're good."
"Please?"
Reurus leans his neck, wondering if he said something strange.However, I decided that I didn't say anything strange, and started calculating when it would be just in my mind.
(Will it take a few days to clear up the case of Count Doria?)From there, we'll tour the King's Capital with Ruvillia, and then we'll just go home... in a week or so?That said, Eliza wants to talk to Ruvillia....)
“That” is also important, "Reurus recalls.
"Maybe then we'll take Eliza."
"Why!?What? No, really what!?
"No, she wants to talk to Ruvillia before she becomes a concubine...."
"Concubine!? Why did you say that to me... the princesses have disappeared from my head..."
Louis sighs and holds his head.And after a few seconds, he raised his face like he was ready.
"Is that Ruvillia's role as the wife-in-law... yeah, I'll tell her that, too."
"Now that we're finished, I'm going to show my face to the Marquis de Grimer.I will tell you everything, including what Countess Doria has come into contact with. "
Natalia, who was listening to Lewis's conversation with Reurus, declared so, and the conversation opened.All I had to do was wait for an approach from Count Doria -
"Baroness Varza... I don't want to talk about apology and harmony..."
The next day, Count Doria, whose face turned pale, visited Reurus.
