"Oh my...!?

Gino-Lend paled his face, probably because it was too shocking. And I'm gonna ask you back.

"Now what did they say?

"Berrell said he would be immediately put under Gandia's protection."

Nares said ruthlessly.

The original white face of Gino-Lend becomes whiter and bluer. The blood vessels were rising and the facial expressions were cramped. Is it because of my daily intense duties that my eyes are running bloody? As Berel's prime minister, he is a man involved in most of the country's politics. I was talking about working day and night without vacation. That role in Gandhia was played by Leongando's four friends, who sometimes shared roles with the four of us, and didn't seem as intense as he did.

Most importantly, the bigger Gandhia gets, the more work the Four Friends should be doing, and they may now have the same amount of work as Gino.

"Ha ha... that doesn't sound like a joke"

"I'm not joking. In the first place, just to make a joke, take away the Chancellor's time, etc."

"Well, that's true... but it's...!

"You must also know the Chancellor. Berel's power was powerless against Zibel's army. In a short period of time, we were overwhelmed by two cities, and without our cooperation, it would have been foolish to get Myoln back, nor could we have had a rapprochement with Gibelle. Not to mention the suspicion that a country called Berel could have existed."

"Myoln is at the end of Runeberel's eyes and nose."

Augusto told him with a mouthful like any other HR, but that's true. That's why it took me about a day and a half to get from Runeberel to Myoln, and it didn't take me long to get back from Myoln to Runeberel. It's about that distance. If Gandia hadn't sent in the rescue, Gibbell wouldn't have hesitated to attack Runeberel.

Of course, if Berel's head of state abandoned Runeberel and moved the capital to Bairdard and elsewhere, it would have been postponed for Berel to perish, but that too would have been just an extension of his life. Even if Gibbel gave up his pursuit of Berel, he must have moved to take Berel's territory, which had been weakened by other countries.

Either way, because Gandia mobilized reinforcements, Berel was able to survive as a country.

Nares watched his hand placed on Gino-Lend's lap shuddering in small pieces. It's not like he's a cautious man. All of a sudden, if you ask me to turn over the real power of the country, it's something that shivers in anger.

"The Knights of Berel were standing by at Rune Berel. If the Knights and Elite join forces..."

"January"

"What?"

"Keep it, it would be like January. During my stay in Runeberel, I was given a tour of the Knights' exercises, which are also inferior to the longtime Gandian army under the slander of weak soldiers. I don't think we can fight Gibbel properly."

When Nares affirmed, Gino-Lend secretly sighed. And when I grab my knee to stop my hand trembling, I slowly open my mouth.

"... If the Knight Chief hears that assessment, you're about to go mad. But Lord Nares is right. The Knights became a gathering of hearts and minds after their predecessor, the Knights, fell out. It's lamentable."

"Would it change that if I were a knight chief?"

"It will change. Even if there is no change in your strength itself, if you change your mind, change everything. The Knights' degree of practice definitely fell. Lord Graham would not have been so miserable."

The Chancellor's mourning would be proof that he truly understands the truth about Berel and worries about the future of the country. Immediately after the invasion by Gibelle, he is proposing to the King of Istria to request reinforcements to Gandia. Because with Berel's military might, he grasped the fact that even the defense of the national territory was unbearable.

There, Nares laid eyes on him. He would also lend his ear to Nares' suggestion.

"So, Prime Minister, what do you think? Do you accept our proposal, or do you reject it"

Gino-Lend seems to have been gazing at his knees for a while as well,

"... Indeed, Lord Nares is right. When Gandia asked for reinforcements, our country's ideals were crushed. It must have been another dream, like maintaining territory that didn't depend on other countries."

"Neither could Gandia, without the help of its allies, maintain its territory. If Berel has the military power he pulled out, then there's no way he's going to erode the land. That's why they say we should go into Gandhia's shelter."

"Asylum… what a soft sound"

"When you get under control, should you tell me to be a part of it?

"No... you may remain in asylum"

That said, he lay his eyes down. After a lot of silence, he breathes heavily and rises from his seat. There was no one in the Chancellor's office but the three of them, and there was no concern that this secret conversation was being heard. Even if they were asking, it's too late.

"Let me speak to Your Majesty. What, it's about His Majesty. Just obey my word."

"Reliable"

"In Berel I am the supreme power."

Gino-Lend threw up his sarcastic words and left the office behind.

It's terrible, it's blue. Blueness to the point of morbidity was strange because it would rather make him realize that his usual blue was a healthy color.

Holding his head, both broken hands tremble into small pieces, making him feel so dangerous that he is likely to drop his head now. Not that crowns colored with gold and silver are particularly heavy. It's not just the hands that are shaking. My torso is shaking.

Gino-Lend just felt pity rather than marveling at the likelihood of what he had seen as he stepped in during the sight. The king of old, who was not blessed with inheritance, is just one, on the throne, looking at this one. Since the invasion by Gibelle, Istria Ray-Berel seemed to have rapidly aged. Originally, among the kings of the small group of nations, they fall into the category of the elderly, but do not seem to have aged significantly in the last decade or so.

I used to feel like there was something more annoying about it.

"Gino, is it true that you were secretly discussing this with the Gundian warrior?

Istria's first voice was that.

Gino felt more relieved than surprised when he found out why Istria's face was blue. I have the feeling that to that extent. He was already ready, and in that case, trivial things like the fact that Istria was monitoring the military master's office. It is also the right thing to do as a king to explore the side of a man entrusted with most of his national government. If you expose it, the heart certificate you give them sucks, though.

(You shouldn't have said that)

It's something no one knows. If you say so, you will testify to yourself that you are constantly watching the Gino. So how about that? It's just a breeze. And that was also why Gino-Lend came to partition everything in this country as prime minister. It is because the king is a detour that the zino must be firm.

To the point of feeling like that, Gino loved Istria and Berel.

"Will you be secretly, when it comes to secrets"

Gino didn't deny it.

There is a dull light in Istria's deeply fallen eyes.

"... you should have asked Gandhia for reinforcements."

"Yes."

"… indeed, you were right. The Knights ended up with a bunch of hipsters, and the soldiers turned into a military bunch that was not much different from the weak soldiers. With Berel's military might, it was even difficult to maintain the national territory, and he had no other option but to rely on Gandia to defeat Gibelle. Can Laksha send reinforcements? No. Laksha would have targeted an interdiction with Jibel. His country is extremely spicy. So, how about Mion? Mion is a southern country. By the time his country's reinforcements arrived, Runeberel had become an ocean of fire. I see, but I know very well that you asked for Gandhia."

Istria slowly went on to check the situation so far. That was the person Gino defined as worthy of respect. Clear brains were still alive.

"And Gandia's reinforcements brilliantly drove me back the Zibel army. It hurts that I couldn't get Harrell back, but I can't help it. There can't be a good story about bugs, such as recapturing two cities, asking only for Gandia's force. Even if Myoln didn't return, it was just a truce agreement with Zibel. That was enough. The threat to the north is gone."

Istria's idea that the mere elimination of the threat from Gibelle is sufficient is heavily influenced by the way the country called Berel is. For a long time, Berel's country was an exclusive defense. It was the way in which a country called Berel was to concentrate on making its people happy, even enriching their internal affairs, rather than devoting national power to the expansion of its national territory and so on.

"I am grateful to Gandia. I can't thank you enough. Not only did we reach a truce with Gibelle, but we were able to get it back to Myoln. This is the result of the help of a powerful military state called Gandhia"

Istria put her hands on her lap. The crown and the glow of his eyes under his long hair are increasing.

"It's Gino. Did you conspire with Gandhia to overthrow Berel?

"No way."

Gino kicked it off lightly. Continue.

"It's simpler."

"What's that?

"Berrell should be under Gandhian asylum soon."

When Gino told him, Istria seemed stunned. It must have been an unexpected word.

"Put him under asylum...? What are you talking about?

"It has just been proven in earlier battles that our nation's power alone cannot even sustain its national territory. If Gandia hadn't sent me reinforcements, neither I nor His Majesty would have exchanged words so leisurely. It is imperative that Runeberel was engulfed in war. No wonder Berel was doomed."

"That's... I know. But...!

"For Berel to live, there is no other way. Do you rely on Gibelle for a truce? Or would you even make an alliance with Laksha or Myon? None of this is realistic. About Mion will listen to me, but I don't think Laksha or Gibelle will ever be on par with our country."

It was Istria herself who said that Laksha was nasty. And it's impossible, such as forming an alliance with Gibbel, who wants to take Berel's territory at all. There must be no emotional, no real emotional. Or Mion wouldn't be able to either. Mion is an ally of Gandhia and it is hard to imagine entering into cooperative relations with other countries in disregard of Gandhia's views.

"But... but..."

"On top of that, here at Runeberel, we have already entered the Gandhian army's highest battle force. There's nothing you can do about it."

For example, if Berel is to survive by kicking Nares' suggestion, he must defeat the Royal Gandhian SS, the Lion's Tail, and the Fourth Regiment of the Army on the Logner side. In such a force that even Zibel's army cannot be repelled, can the armed summoner force not be foolish and defeat even one black spear?

"... from the beginning, you expected this to happen?

"No, but we knew that Berel would have to stop in the shadow of the great tree to survive."

"Daiki... I hope it doesn't decay."

Istria went ironically, but it was clear that Gandia would live longer than Berel could live without Gandia's asylum.

At least, it doesn't mean we're doomed tomorrow.

Berrell could have perished instantly if he hadn't been under Gandia's asylum.

Berel's throat has a black spear sticking out of it.
