Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Information was received that a great number of the Great Alexandros had left the imperial capital and had traveled south, and the Grand Fram Army was embarked. Advancement as planned.

What was unscheduled was that towns on their way to the Imperial City came under the umbrella one after another with white flags. And the surprise was doubled, because it was the aristocrat army following the Grand Flam Kingdom.

Some voiced that he should blame himself for taking the initiative in military action, but when he saw the aristocratic faces appearing in front of his eyes, showing exaggerated hopes for the award, Arnold indeed said that I couldn't say it.

He said he worked hard and promised a new reward, but that would have led to the reputation of the nobles. The aristocrats complained that the dropped city would be theirs.

If you say you haven't made such a promise, you'll get back that you've certainly been told. After hearing in detail why this would be the case, Arnold was holding his head.

It was information transmitted from Rion. The nobles naturally know that Rion is a royal family. The message from Lion was taken as the intention of the Kingdom of Granfram.

Half is a lie. The messengers from Rion told their nobles that cities could easily fall and that they should be used to fight. He also taught that Leon would be a bad guy in the event he did not recognize the Grand Fram as a prize. Really a bad guy.

This fit nicely. The imitation of the nobles in the decisive battle against the Great Alexandros Empire is no longer possible in the Grande Flam Kingdom. He accepted what the aristocrats said and allowed the fallen city to become territory.

However, he did not allow him to participate in the battle against the Great Alexandros Empire. The suspicion of the nobles in the kingdom of Granfram has not disappeared.

The nobles are ordered to march north. Like the south, it's the name of an explicit action battle to separate the Great Alexandros from the Imperial City.

After these measures, the Grand Flam Fleet resumed the march. The army that blocks the way does not appear. Same situation as last time.

"Is the battlefield still an imperial city?"

Arnold muttered as he advanced the horse.

"The enemy's weapons are most effective in base battles. It's a natural choice."

Lambert, who is next to her, answers the mutter.

"I know it. I just knew it was right to attack it."

"Are there other strategies?"

It is decided to be. The Grand Flam Kingdom is overly concerned with the subject of recapture of the royal capital.

"I wanted to know what Leon was thinking."

"... Because I was bending my navel completely."

Rion, who accepted the request, was supposed to take over the Aeriels, but otherwise simply took the request of the kingdom of Granfram without any further review.

When Arnold asks for his opinion, he just repeats what he's asked to do. I didn't show any of the tactics I was thinking about.

"There must have been something to take on the request for the recapture of the first capital city."

Instead of attacking from underground, there are other ways. Arnold thinks hard about it.

"Why do the upper ones hate Rion-sama? Brother, isn't it usual to think together?"

Lambert's upper names are Prime Minister Seid and the Commander of the Knights Marcus. They are not willing to accept Lion. He threatens Arnold's position. Don't even think it's a close insult to Arnold.

"I think it's not just for me."

"What do you say?"

"Lion's essence is a changer. It breaks common sense and creates a new order."

"In other words, a revolution?"

Defeat the old dynasty and build a new dynasty. Some such revolutionaries have appeared in the history of this world.

"... Yeah, aren't the old order sides Saed and Marcus instinctively unacceptable?"

"But Leon is a definite royal family. Isn't the revolution a revolution, but a new one for the Grand Flam?

"Do you really think so?"

"... No. He doesn't have any loyalty to the Grand Flam kingdom. I don't think he will stay in this country after the battle."

Lambert knows too. As Arnold's guard, Rion's movements were monitored as closely as possible. I know, but I don't want to admit it, so I'm just saying the opposite.

"Well, I understand. I'm afraid to look away from Rion."

Arnold understands Lambert's feelings. Both believe that Rion should be as close as possible. That is safe.

"If you don't throw it away, is it impossible for the Grand Flam Kingdom ...?"

"That's right. You can say that you were alive because you were abandoned."

If an odd-eyed baby is known to have been born, it can be killed on the spot. The odd eye is that much hated. Mayor Sade and Commander Marcus Knight have this feeling.

It is because of the cursed Lion that the Kingdom of Granfram has become like this now.

"... As long as we know the circumstances after being abandoned, is living now a miracle?"

You can't say that you are fortunate to have been abandoned, even if your mouth is torn. It is unlikely that young orphans will be able to live in favela. In fact, Frey was dead if Ryo did not reincarnate.

"Yes, that's why there may be a current Lion."

An environment full of life just to live. Arnold has no idea what it is.

"I may be rude to your Majesty, but if you grew up in a castle, can't you?"

"... I guess it won't work. Somewhere the idea is different."

"Is that so"

"I wanted to know the strategy from that idea. Did new information on the south come in?"

At the very least, Arnold thought he wanted to explore some of Rion's ideas by knowing how he was moving in the south.

"Yes. We are expanding our territory, as expected, or surprisingly quickly. If we go as it is, we will take the entire southern part."

"... How about three thousand troops?"

I know you can win the battle. But maintaining territory requires politics, not just military.

"I don't have any detailed information about the area, but the territory seems to be generally stable."

"Is there someone in charge of territorial affairs? Or is he ... that's not something I can do?"

Lion is a former Lord of Bandhu and has the ability to surprisingly develop his territory. Even so, there is no way we can do it with the military. Before that, you need someone who works as a limb.

Arnold thinks this and forgets. Regarding territory, there were two excellent lords in Bandhu who would have entered the five fingers of the former Grand Flam Kingdom.

◇◇◇

Southern territory of the Great Alexandros Empire. Now it's hard to say, but one of the southern cities, Clay, was the home of the Wonderland Mercenaries. A stronghold means not the military but the center of politics in the territory.

"... the assassinated, forced me to work, where and what are you doing?"

In the office, surrounded by piles of paperwork, complaining is Douglas, a former King of Fatiras.

"West"

Charlotte, his daughter, answered Douglas's question. Charlotte is also helping with the job, but the number of documents is much smaller. If you spread it out like Douglas, the Frau sitting next to it will mess up.

"West? Isn't it the home of the Empire? What are you doing there?"

"The only way to reduce the number of Imperial troops is to reduce weapons."

One of the strengths of the Imperial Army is that even a soldier who looks like an amateur can have a reasonable strength with a firearm. No matter how many soldiers you defeat, they are refilled immediately. To prevent this, Leon thought that reducing the number of firearms that would be the source of force would be necessary.

"... I see. Dangerous imitation anyway."

"I'm dead for that, to keep my empire out of guard."

"Isn't that the only thing? Sending an assassin to that person has completely destroyed the empire's reputation. Many must feel that the empire has no justice."

Resist is actively spreading this fact. This has undoubtedly reduced the number of people who actively support the Empire in the south.

"What is that person called?"

"... I can't think of anything else."

"Rion is good?"

"Well, I was originally born of the Grande Fram royal family. It's the main line for me, isn't it?"

Despite his ambition to take over the Grande Fram royal family, his loyalty has also permeated himself. The Marquis of the Grand Fulham Kingdom was annoying.

"Even though I know that Rion-kun dislikes it"

"I know that, but don't call my name.

"... what does it mean to be quick?"

"No, that is ... if you become that one, you will be the father-in-law."

If Charlotte becomes Rion's wife, Douglas becomes her father-in-law. He avoids calling his name with that in mind.

"It's not a matter of being quick."

Charlotte's face is clouded when he hears about Douglas.

"Hmm? No way ... was it shaken?"

"Because it is not shaken!"

"So what is it?"

"... I thought I was something"

"Huh?"

"I think Rion is a special person. I wonder if an ordinary human like me can stand next to Rion."

Feeling that we met after a long absence. Lion is even larger than previous Lions. Charlotte is reluctant to look like Rion's personality.

"... it's difficult. You're going to grow up to be a queen, so I don't think I need to be depressed, but as a father, I want to be with more normal people. I also think "

Douglas's mind is complicated. She wants her daughter's feelings to come true, but she is also worried that she cannot live a normal life by marrying a man like Leon.

"You guys, don't just talk in vain and work."

Cedric complains about Douglas in trouble. Cedric, like Douglas, is buried in documents. The two former marquis are under control of the politics of their territory.

"Don't waste it. It's important to me."

"I want to say that I don't worried now. I've experienced the feelings you tasted long ago."

"... how did you overcome it?"

"... I'm convinced if my daughter says she's happy. And now she's on the side of Frau and can feel happy. Frau, will he come to the grandfather?"

Cedric smiles at Frau.

"Hmm"

As he got off his chair, Frau began to walk to Tokotoko and Cedric. Cedric pampered, but he loves the Frau.

"Frau. I'm working now. Don't bother me."

Charlotte stops such fraud. Charlotte naturally became harsh with the Frau as their two grandfathers pampered too much.

"……Hmm"

Despite his dissatisfied face, Frau again returned next to Charlotte. Unfortunately for Cedric.

"You see, you're skipping, so you can't take the time to play with the Frau?"

"Don't blame me, but you have to go a little further."

There is a lot to do. The prolonged war had severely hurt the southern part.

"... But, well, is it just a collection of this material?"

Many of the papers in front of the Cedrics are reference materials for thinking about politics in controlled territories. Various materials such as agricultural policy and commercial policy were collected.

"What's surprising is that there's even an empire document."

"What did you say?"

"Perhaps it is knowledge of another world. It describes the details of farming. One of the reasons why Kanzawa has developed is now clear."

"You don't have to think how you got it. What's surprising is how long you've been preparing."

The power of Rion and the preparation for revenge that he has prepared. Some of them already know Cedric and Douglas.

"There seems to be something I thought about in Bandou. Is it really good to take advantage of all of this? Isn't it the Kingdom of Grande Flam that succeeds and feels good?"

Policies implemented in the two most developed territories in the former Grand Flam Kingdom. If all goes well, the South will be a surprisingly rich land. But then the Grand Flam Kingdom is not silent. For some reason, they will try to take the southern territory.

Douglas is aware of the Granfram's vigilance against Leon.

"For the people who live in this land, if they can be rich, that's fine."

"Yes, as a conscience, politics doesn't work with conscience alone."

It's like a former marquis. But Douglas forgets that Rion isn't that sweet.

"Rion says it's no use taking land to take over the country."

"Well, what should I do?"

"It's about seizing the heart of a person. He said that the country could be robbed and that the governance would be stable after it was robbed."

"... I see. His plan is based on taking heart."

Listening to Charlotte's explanation, Douglas was convinced. Rion has always been conscious of the human heart since he was the lord of Bandhu. Information manipulation and information dissemination that Rion seems to have done were all for that purpose.

"It's not something you can do with just a measure. You can't keep up with Lion with just a measure."

Cedric has denied some of Douglas's ideas. Lion's core subordinates have absolute loyalty to Lion. It is not created by any means.

"So what do you say?"

"In simple terms, it's sincerity."

"Is he sincerely called the most evil plotter?"

When he was a noble of the Grand Flam Kingdom, Lion was feared by his allies. The worst plotter is the word that someone in the kingdom described Rion.

"It depends on who you are. Rion was in good faith with Vincent. He never looked down, never flirted, and sometimes showed a tough face when it came to Vincent."

"Really"

"In the meantime, if it's for Vincent, I'll do something ridiculous, and it's still the case. Rion's action is for Vincent's revenge. For many years, Leon is said to be alive. That's it. "

"I don't know if you hear this, was your son such a good man?"

The failure of the Winheal Hou family. This is the general rating for Vincent. His actions just before his death led him to appreciate his aristocracy, but not to his ability.

"It sounds like an idiot, but there was a talent, but it only took more time than a person to flourish."

"Oh, that's a great idiot."

"Anyway, but in fact Vincent's words are now being recognized by those in the south. The Vincent party that spreads it seems that it is not under Lyon's mind. He believes that his words are correct.

"... I see, it blossomed here."

I cannot feel the joy of the person, such as the evaluation after death. But it's good for those close to him.

"This is also because Leon was serving as a servant. Because he was so enthusiastic about Vincent, who was not motivated or confident, that he was able to thank him."

Vincent was inspired. It can be said that Vincent was convicted. Cedric, his father, had been angry with this.

"But the more you know, the more ridiculous you are."

Douglas turned his worried gaze at Charlotte. A person with extraordinary strength is not always a good husband. Rather, the opposite is more common.

"Don't look with such eyes. As I said, I'm worried that I'm an ordinary person, but I think it's better to be with you."

"What is it?"

"It's not just Rion. Eriel has something different from ordinary people. Neither of us can live a peaceful life."

"... maybe so."

Although hidden behind Lion's shadow, Eriel also has the qualities of a hero. There is a natural attraction that attracts people and the power to obey people.

"That's why I, the ordinary person, will make a normal life. It's subtle whether it's normal, but my wife and mother, I have children, a place where I can feel the warmth of my family I can make it. "

Charlotte talks about this while stroking Frau's head. Looking at the figure, Douglas was about to tear. I realized that my daughter had grown strong and respectable.

"It's also a big deal."

"Yes. Rion-kun has never been loved, so he doesn't know how to love him. When he and Frau are alone, they harden. Hey, Frau?"

Douglas wrote about how difficult it was to make a normal life, but it didn't seem like Charlotte.

"Yup"

"Frau is also shy.

"No! The bad thing is Leon!"

"Oh, abandon your father.

"Because everyone is called Rion. Rion is also good."

"... that shy shop"

It's easy to see why Leon said that. It is shy to be called father by Frau.

Douglas and Cedric look warmly at the conversation between them. The warmth of Charlotte's family can be felt from the scene in front of him. This was what they both lost and forgotten long ago.
