Old soldiers do not die
The southern border of Band ド ゥ is now the border with the Kingdom of Fatiras. Negotiations between the two countries were taking place at the border fort. Although the negotiations began under the guise of Alliance negotiations, the details have now changed. The Kingdom of Fatiras is losing control of the territory and is on the verge of becoming a nation.
The rebellion of the people was fatal in the Kingdom of Fathiras, which did not have a large professional military organization such as the Knights of the Kingdom or the Knights of the Guard. The army soldiers who rule the popular revolt are also people. The betrayal continued and the army broke down, and the Fatiras kingdom lost its way to hold back the rebellion. The remaining kingdoms of the kingdom, the knights of the former lords and the dependent nobles, confronted the rebellion, but were inactive before the bulging rebels. With no resentment, the Knights are already nearly destroyed.
In this case, the alliance is no longer meaningful. The negotiations had changed to a statement to absorb the remaining organization of the Kingdom of Fathiras into the kingdom of Granfram. Not surprisingly, it was not the best but bad story for Fathiras Kingdom.
"Can't you do it anymore?"
Charlotte is cut off by the negotiator of the Kingdom of Fathira. Charlotte was also sent here as a member of the Grand Flam Kingdom negotiating team because negotiations with the Kingdom of Fathira did not proceed as expected.
This is Charlotte, a former Fathiras family. The Fathiras kingdom also thought that it would soften a little, but the speculation of the Grand Flam kingdom is completely off.
"Young lady. Each one now represents the country. You should avoid such accustomed attitudes."
The negotiator in charge of the Fathiras kingdom is, of course, the person Charlotte knows. He is a family owned by the former House of Fathiras and has known Charlotte since he was a baby.
"That's not what you're used to."
"The words mentioned above are those who have watched the growth of the young lady. It is different from negotiations."
"... it's hard to do"
Nobody is more difficult to negotiate. Apart from the negotiations, the opponent does not listen to Charlotte's words as that of the Grand Flam Kingdom.
However, the result is the same even if a person other than Charlotte talks. The Fatiras kingdom has no sign of accepting the proposal of the Grand Flam.
"I don't care about your position. You know?-Will everyone die as it is?"
"Not yet decided"
"It's a fixed thing. The kingdom of Fatiras is destroyed. What are you going to do then?"
"It is the ministry's effort to be marred by the Lord."
Mike's house, which was the family ancestor, has been serving the House of Fathiras for generations. Moreover, it has been almost 40 years since Mike himself started serving. I am prepared for this much.
"You might be fine with that, but who else? て い る Someone wants to survive."
"... Everyone who thinks so should escape. Martyrdom is not a force."
It may not be enforced. But running away is also brave. If someone escapes, you can follow it. But there aren't many who will be the first.
"What is King Fathiras thinking?-The King who brought this situation to him, is he not taking any responsibility for that?-Such a person is not eligible to stand on top. What if you stop the king in the future? "
Charlotte has no hesitation in his father, King Fathiras. The gap between them has not been filled, and it has come to this day.
"I'm trying to do what I can to the end. Is that also the responsibility of those who stand on top?"
"I just do it myself, I won't get involved."
"I can't overcome today's difficulties by myself. We must all work together to get through."
Beautiful thing. All these words come out of Mike's mouth. Charlotte is still a kid to be instructed in Mike. This is not a discussion. Charlotte's frustration is just getting worse.
"If we all work together and do our best, are we satisfied? If we die, nothing will remain?"
"People will die someday"
"I know that. You're good. You've lived for decades. で し ょ う Is there anything you can't remember? But who is much younger than you? of?"
Jfred Lanchester. Charlotte's brother. If the kingdom of Fatiras perishes, it will almost certainly die.
"... I have to accept it as a royal family."
"As a royal family, but ask, did Jeff want it? If he wanted to be a royal family, he would be responsible. of?"
"that is……"
"Does fool refer to a person like you? Everything that comes out of your mouth is beautiful and does not solve anything. You speak loyalty but its contents are empty. Hey, I know the word Isahi Do you not know? "
Completely Charlotte has blood on his head. He began to use words that abuse Mike.
"I can't forgive the insult, even though she's a lady!"
The voice of the insulted microphone was also rough.
"Let's manage Fatilas! Don't just die! Put your life to save the land! It's your duty!"
Charlotte yelled at me and couldn't say anything.
"I do not forgive excuses. The one I know tried to turn the Grand Fulham kingdom to the enemy alone for the Lord who served. After doing so much, say what seems to be great. I will never admit you are not a Fatirah's loyalty. ''
This is the end. Not only Mike, but everyone at the Fatiras kingdom here, couldn't say anything and couldn't stop negotiating. As a negotiator, Charlotte has failed spectacularly.
◇◇◇
It is not only Charlotte who has moved to negotiate with the stalled Kingdom of Fatiras. In the Kingdom of Granfram, Cedric Woodville, the father of Aeriel, a mere guest, had also heard of Arnold's wish and went on negotiations.
In addition, he visits the king of Fathiras, the capital of the kingdom of Fathiras.
Once the head of the same three lords. It's a friend I knew as such. Even on a sudden visit, King Fatiras allowed the visit, and he was treated to meet him alone in the office.
However, the state of the meeting was that both of them were drinking tea without saying a word.
"……Hmm"
After a considerable amount of time, Cedric asked King Fathiras for a change of tea.
"... Hey! Tea!"
Listening to King Fathira's voice, the maid came into the room. I already have tea utensils as expected. Replace the empty tea set and leave the room again.
So the room was silenced again.
"... What did you come to do?"
It is King Fathiras who is intolerable. Unlike the retired Cedric, he was disadvantaged by his busy status as king.
"It's just as unbearable as ever. If we were a little more patient, the situation might have been different."
He utters words that Cedric ridiculed, but this is not a statement of the current situation. It refers to the decision of independence from the Grand Flam Kingdom.
"You're still lazy, and you're just amazed at its irresponsibility."
This is complaining to Cedric's retirement from the Marquis. They always look like this. Despite being in conflict, being of the same age and being in the same position, one of the few who can speak without hesitation. The same is true of the late Marquis Aksumia.
"It can't be helped, because knowing the grandson's existence doesn't mean we can't die yet."
"Grandchild?"
"A girl named Frau. This is so cute. The moment I met my grandchild, I wanted to live longer."
"... was it? But why?"
Frau was the child of Aeriel. This is a shock to King Fathiras. He should have been his grandson. Moreover, why this happened, King Fatiras does not know at all.
"Now I'm misunderstanding my father."
"... Is she a child of Rion Frey ... and how about that?"
In Cedric's words, King Fathira understood the general circumstances. If it is not this much, the head of the Hou will not work.
"What your daughter thought. Ask her if you want to hear it."
"Charlotte ... what is that idiot thinking?"
Charlotte's desire to raise another child as his own child is not at all understandable to King Fathiras. Usually I can't understand.
"I'll tell you another surprise"
"What?"
"Your daughter also seems to like Rion."
"What, what !?"
This reaction is not that of the king. The reaction as a father. King Fathiras is perfectly fit for Cedric's speculation.
"I haven't heard it clearly, but I spend most of my time with them recently.
Playing with Frau naturally extends the time spent with Charlotte. There is no need to pretend to be a mother and daughter, but Charlotte did not try to stop Frau's mother.
"... Why did you reject the room? That's why I didn't think it was stupid."
"Is that so? Perhaps it will be rewarded."
"What does it mean to be rewarded? What is it?"
King Fathiras noticed the meaning of Cedric's words.
"I said that my daughter, Eal, was alive. At first I thought she was not allowed to die and she thought she was, but apparently those around him also thought that Rion was alive. It seems to be "
"Are you not caring for your daughter?"
"It's possible, but the Guardian knight Sol Aristes, who is said to be the only survivor, speaks on the assumption that Rion is alive, even if Eal is not there."
Despite being a stupid parent, Cedric, he was allowed to take over the Wynheal family. He is an excellent, careless person.
"... What can we do now, even if we were alive?"
"It's a royal family, but it was really just an orphaned town orphan. His words were polite and beautiful, but his eyes were like those of a beast. I felt danger, but that's why I put it near Vincent, I thought it would be a good stimulus for the weak and lazy Vincent. "
Suddenly Cedric started talking about the old days. King Fathiras says nothing about this. Rion is an interesting story.
"It's a ridiculous man. I'm still a child, but I've got a lot of maids to do."
"What did you say?"
"And she used that relationship to threaten her and serve as her source. She wanted to find out about Vincent's reputation and Elwin to protect Vincent's heir."
Cedric knew Rion's behavior. Still, he pretended to be unseen. Rion's action was for Vincent.
"... when is that?"
"Before entering the institution, 10 years old or 11 years old?"
"I see. It's ridiculous."
"That's not all. Just before entering the institution, I'm the only one who has crushed one of the poor town's organizations, because my identity doesn't bother Vincent."
"... Did you look quietly?"
"I can't stop it because it's for Vincent, and I couldn't figure out what Leon was doing from the middle."
"... was the rumored organization created since then?"
Lion has an organization that is supported by shadows. This story is also known by King Fathiras. I thought I got it in Band バ ン, but now I know it wasn't.
"You know from that, after losing Vincent, Leon, who became the ruler of Bandu, developed his territory with incredible momentum, and was surprising in defeating the witches and fighting the Kingdom of Merica. I showed you. ''
"Oh, yeah."
"Do you think that Leon is doing nothing?"
"... do you think so?"
Leon is an orphan in the favela and became a hero of the Grand Flam Kingdom. I can't say "what can I do now?"
"There is still a lot of development ahead. I think so."
"Why did you decide to retire?"
"I'm wrong again. I'm lazy, as you know. I'm not going to leave my retirement."
Cedric has no ambition. Rion is going to stay retired no matter what he does at Grand Flam.
"So why tell me this? Isn't it trying to do something?"
"I want you to retire. It's not our time anymore. Puss and Leon's way is something we can't think of.
"... they are the same?"
This is what King Fatirs was concerned about in Cedric's words.
"Both of them are aware of the voice of the people. They create information, spread it, and solidify it as a fact. Only these two people know. "
The people are powerless for the two nobles. The voice of the people could be ignored. In reality, however, the Royal Family of Gran Fulham is being moved as Lion is willing to pay attention to the reputation of the public, and Fatilas is about to be destroyed by the incitement of the people by Mary.
Of course, before that, each one had its weakness, but nevertheless, the idea of using the people has never been before.
"That's true. Is the age of the aristocracy over?"
"I don't know if the age of the aristocracy is over, but it has changed, only in a few years."
"Why couldn't we keep up with the change? It's a sad story."
"Don't be ashamed. You just happened to be at a turning point. Would you like to see how the times move in the future?"
"To expose shame on life?"
You cannot survive, destroying the country and sacrificing the lives of many minions. King Fathiras thinks: That's why we don't get the offer of the Grand Fram.
"What a shame to live on. Everybody forgets you soon. Anyway, it's that much."
"... I can't forget"
"I'm not telling me to forget. I say you have the responsibility to live on sin."
Cedric says that living, not dying, atones for sin.
"... what do you live?"
"Wait a moment and look forward to your grandchild's birth. Once you're born, you won't be bored anymore."
"For such a thing?"
He is the king of the house, and King Fatiraz, who has been working hard. I could not imagine a life of nothing.
"I can say that because you don't know your grandchild. A grandchild has a different kind of love than a child. It's irresponsible love."
"What is it?"
"I think that my child needs to be raised well, but my grandchildren don't feel that way. It's because I'm a parent. I just need to be cute."
"... is that something?"
"That's it. Well, you know when your grandchild is born. So live until that time."
"... maybe you just came to tell me to live?"
Cedric is formally a messenger from the kingdom of Granfram. But Cedric only talks about retiring and enjoying the rest of his life.
"I'm not a person from the kingdom of Grande Fram. It doesn't matter if you cooperate with the kingdom of Grande Flam."
"So, have you come this far?"
The revolt of the people is growing to a considerable extent. Even though they are diplomatic messengers, the country is not safe to travel.
"King Edward III is dead. Bernard's stupid guy. And if I die before you, who should I quarrel with?"
"... Yes, yes, yes."
King Fathiras declared the demolition of the kingdom that day. The Kingdom of Fatiras has perished.
King Fathira's and his family, along with his wishing ministry and his family, retired to the kingdom of Granfram, but King himself retired and became a mere Douglas Lanchester. As a result, one grandfather increased in Frau.
