"Gandhia has become immense, and His Majesty Leongand's fame knows no place to stay. Nothing will ever stop His Majesty from dreaming."

Gisellcourt Lars-Kernall praised the king of his country as such. Leongand was a nephew to him, the real brother of the earlier king Siuscloud, and it was a man named Gisellcourt whose nephew had an extremely unobtrusive attitude toward making the country strong and big.

Hulberg sees him as a man without a grasp. Once upon a time, it was Giselle Court who held Gandhia's real power after Siuscloud fell ill. twenty years ago. Leongand was still young, and it seemed a natural accomplishment for Giselcoat to gain power as his guardian, and Ciuscloud seemed to believe through his lack of ambition for his real brother.

And Gisele Court continued to respond to the thoughts of Siuss Cloud. He also appeared to whisper that a healthy Giselcoat should be the one to reach the throne of Gandia, as the disease of Siuscloud grew heavier. It was Gisele Court who never lended an ear to such a voice, and when Siuscloud passed away, he lightly abandoned the position of the Shadow King, holding Leongand back from reaching the throne. After that, he was caged in the land of Kernnol as a collar uncle, but only if he thought of Leongand.

For about twenty years, his influence as king of shadows was immeasurable. If he had continued to stay in the royal palace, it would have appeared that something would have taken precedence over Gisele Court's orders over Leongand, who, after his succession, still bore the reputation of "udon", and it was not surprising that his faction could have done so. Had three factions been born: Leongands, Giselcoats and Reins, Gandia's politics would have been more chaotic, and Leongands would not have gone smoothly sailing.

Though I don't know much about the internal circumstances of other countries, it was true that there was a move to abolish Leongando, who was playing "Uchi," and the bigger that movement, the more Linonclair supported and encouraged Leongando. Halberg also learned from her and encouraged Leongand, whether it made sense or not.

Leongando wasn't “nagging” or anything. The Hulbergs knew that, but it is also true that his frustration with not showing his nature had something hard to exhaust in his brush tongue. His figure of absorbing knowledge more greedily than anyone else and training himself more harshly than anyone else is burned to the retina of Hulberg.

Maybe that's why Halberg admired Leongand and fell in love with his sister.

Linonclair would never be a mistake because he is the kind of person who made Leongand a woman.

"My brother-in-law is strong. That's all."

"Yes, Your Majesty is strong. I got stronger. Really, like people have changed."

It was obvious that Gisele Court was staring at this one but seeing something different. Far away. Maybe I've seen it in the past. Past. Do you even remember what Leongand looked like when he was hiding his essence?

"His Majesty was once slandered for“ lying down. "Everyone, both inside and outside the country, was keeping his mouth shut and doing evil things about His Majesty. Can you remember?

"Whatever. It wasn't long ago."

Hulberg nodded honestly.

It was no exaggeration to say that Leongando Ray-Gandhia was able to escape the notoriety of "nagging” only recently. With the recapture of the Balsar Fortress and the Logner Peace, for the first time, Leongand has come to be duly regarded. Then there was something terrific about the transformation of the Gandian people, but that's all that's left.

Leongand had to play a clown to keep the country alive and long. If the people had discerned the essence, the nature, of Leongando, then the fate of Gandhia would have changed dramatically, as no other country's intermediaries, spies, could have fooled them either.

Leongando's reputation for being "dumb” and incompetent kept Gandhia alive and long.

"Your Majesty and I didn't think you were the same person at the time."

"What are you talking about? You will strangle Lord Tsuruga."

"Ha, it's not a bad thing. Your Majesty has grown stronger."

"... it just sounds like you have something else in mind."

"That's over-thinking. I don't care what I say."

Gisele Coat smiled. but that attitude doesn't bother Halberg. Isn't he up to something? That is what Giselcoat has felt since he came into contact with Hulberg. I only responded to the meeting with him because I thought that knowing Gisele Court's sincerity might help Leongand.

Hulberg hopes to help Leongand. The failure to achieve great results in the Zalwarn war has cast a shadow on his mind. As it is, can't we also follow Leongando's back as he drives up the path of victory and glory? Such anxiety drives him.

"Giselcoat Lars-Kernall and so on, despise Mizu, etc."

"What, my power also fell to the earth. It is clear to everyone that this is the time of Uncle Setuna Lars-Enjour. I say that all countries are desperate to make contact with Uncle Setuna and to have a relationship. Compared to that, if you come with me."

"... are you here to zero your stupidity?

Halberg shrugged his shoulders in a sigh because he had no idea what Gisele Court intended.

Most importantly, it is true that Gisele Court went into a mix of stupidity. Giselcoat Lars-Kernall has barely lost power within Gandhia, but the attention of royal marquis nobles in various foreign countries is more focused on the SS chief and ruler who keeps fighting on the front lines than the ruler who runs the ranch in Kernall. And it was inevitable. Setuna Lars-Enjour is a man who has slaughtered numerous enemies and defeated every difficulty at the forefront of Gandia since the fortress of Balsar. It was not strange to be known as Gandhia's super important person, who is also expected to be active in the future, even if it was decided that getting to know him was important in going out with Gandhia.

Although it may be an annoying story for Setuna, who only knows to fight.

"Excuse me. It's a serious thing to be a collar uncle, such as being a fool to His Royal Highness the Prince of the Allies."

So Gisele Court laughed happily. But Hulberg realized that only his clear eyes were not laughing. Gisele Coat laughs a lot. I laugh, but those eyes, they always looked at Halberg's eyes.

Maybe that's what you don't like.

It has been so for a long time.

As a child, Halberg visited Gandion frequently as a playmate between Leongand and Linonclair, but naturally, he also met Gisele Court often. Each time I was greeted by a smile that only my eyes weren't laughing at, and my chest was bothered.

I'm still in the mood for that. But I don't put it on my face, and I don't express it in my words and deeds. I know how to do that. If I couldn't control my emotions, I wouldn't have been able to survive Lucion or anything.

"Yes, yes. Speaking of allies, do you know about the trends in Myon?

"Yeah, I'm listening. His Majesty Isius also did something far-fetched. Mars-Barr leaves the country to one, etc…"

Behind Halberg's brain were the words that Mars-Barr crushed when he stopped by Myon in front of the Zalwarn War.

"A lion is something he can defend himself against. If so, we can rest assured. '

There is no doubt that Mars-Barr had a sense of crisis in Gandia's policy of territorial expansion. He may have feared that Leongand's ambitions would eventually strip Myon, his ally, of his fangs. If the words of the unification of the small group of continental States put forward by Leongando became decisive when Zalwarn was calmed down, it might be Leongando who is the detractor.

"What will His Majesty Leongand do?

"If Mion gives Malus his neck, that's it. It would be painful for Myon, but nothing is more tolerant than Gandia's decision to hand it to Mars with one's life"

"That's the problem."

"Problem?"

"Myon says he has secured Mars-Barr's stature, but instead of dawning on Gandhia, there is no sign of him leaning over his neck. Your Majesty is angry."

Gisele Court, after all, has gone in a tone similar to that of other personnel.

"And earlier, His Majesty Leongand decided to seek Myon."

Hulberg's attempt to stop Leongando was only partly due to his fear that the tri-national alliances of Gandhia, Lucion and Myon would collapse, but he thought that Gandhia and Myon had no point in fighting.

The enemy should be Kruselk, not Myon. If Mion's prime minister was connected to Kruselk, shouldn't we just crush Kruselk?

"Your Highness, do you mean to fold in and talk to me?

Halberg's face-to-face meeting with Leongand Ray-Gandia was a room branded as the Strategic Meeting Room. The rooms I've been familiar with since I was a child are decorated with numerous unfamiliar maps and piled up like mountains of documents on a long desk that seem to contain confidential information. I'm pretty sure we had a military debate until just now.

Because by the time Halberg arrived here, he was mistaken for a military teacher or general, and exchanged meetings. Nares-Ragnahorn and Deion-Hoclaw also knew that for Hulberg they had known each other since they were young and that they were irreplaceable collaborators taking to Leongand.

"Your Majesty, no, my brother-in-law, as my brother-in-law, I'd like to ask you something."

"As my brother-in-law, huh? Fine. Ask me anything."

Leongand grinned whether Hulberg's offer was pleasing. I had a meeting I had stuck around a while back. Maybe he wanted to relieve the tension.

Halberg opened his mouth knowing that his remarks clouded his brother-in-law's expression.

"Is it true that rumors of Meon's conquest?

Leongand, after all, turned off his grin.

"Hal, you too have heard about Mion's betrayal of Gandhia."

"Yes, but it..."

"Are you saying it's a lie? It is true that Mars-Barr, the Chancellor of Mion, had joined hands with Rhine-Ansleus and others, conspired with Kruselk, and tried to assassinate us all on the occasion of my wedding with Nage"

"Fact......"

"I have the testimony of Zein-Maldeen, who was near the side of Rhine. Besides, given Kruselk's hauling route, there is no doubt that Mion is involved. Even if His Majesty Isius had not known, the Chancellor could not have known."

"Is that why you're attacking your allies?

"If we don't, we won't have Gandhia's face. What happens to the anger of nations? The anger of the nations caught up in the outrage of the Mars. We cannot afford to lose our ties of cooperation with countries before the war against Kruselk. Besides, Hal. I made a concession. Mars-Barr, forgive me with one neck."

Leongand stood up and looked at this one. The transcendence had a feeling of intimidation that was unthinkable from previous Leongands. You can call it style. Leongando as the lion king of the mighty country Gandhia, not the new king of the weak small country Gandhia, stands before Hulberg.

Hulberg was rather pleased with the pressure he felt from Leongand. This was what Leongand looked like in his dreams. I vowed to support him along with Linonclair because I believed Leongand would still have a bad reputation for "lying around" and reign as a lion king.

"If one prime minister's neck cannot be given, then the life of his country's prime minister is more important than his relationship with Gandhia, then there is more to it than its destruction."

But that's why I can't even see Halberg. Myon was an ally of Gandhia and an essential part of Gandhia's eastern defense. Gandhia didn't have to devote his power to Eastern defense because Mion was acting as a defensive wall. And the role played by the cavalry led by Gilbert-Hardy in Gandhia's leap forward is significant.

"But!"

"The age of the Troika is over. Gandia no longer swallows Logner, Zalwarn, and dominates Berel. Lucion, formed an alliance with Lemanifla, and also became the leader of the anti-Kruselk coalition. Mion, it's not a waste of time."

"Brother-in-law...... now, what!?

"It's not as bad as Myon's," he said.

Halberg was just stunned by what he had previously said that was unthinkable from Leongand. Will the expansion of national territory, the immensity of national power, change one so much? To Halberg, I don't know. Hulberg is not a king, although it is he who has the right to inherit the throne. It is only through involvement in national politics that it is the king, the real father, who holds power. That's why I can stay in Gandhia for a long time.

"What does Lucion do? Do you want to cooperate with Gandia, or do you want to join hands with Myon? One in two. You don't have a choice."

Asked, Hulberg silenced. There is only one answer. Gandhia doesn't have the option of teething Leongando from the beginning. Supporting Leongando doesn't mean, of course, subordination, but hostility to Gandhia is more different.

In so much silence that he could hear his heartbeat, Halberg looked at Leongand's beautiful face. I'm getting tough for losing one eye.

The young lion king had the face of the sius cloud he saw one day.

"Lucion... of course, walks with Gandia. But Mion and I want to walk together."

My chest was damaged when I thought about Mion. The young king loved Linonclair. Linonclair, too, loved Isius like his brother. Doesn't attacking Mion mean driving him to a dead place?

"Please, reconsider. You know what you get in the Meon Conquest."

"Hmm, well... it's better to say something about Hal. Myon is an ally who has worked hard for Gandhia more than once. Maybe we can see how it goes a little bit more."

"Brother-in-law...!

"But it's Hal. When Mion didn't give Mars-Barr his neck, you know what I mean?

"The White Knights of Lucion will destroy Mion Lion."

Hulberg also understood that although he realized he had declared himself outrageous, it was no longer something to be stopped.

There is a flow in everything.

The situation is flowing in the worst direction for Mion. We can't stop that flow, but we might be able to change it. Changing where it flows will require a lot of effort, though you may not get anything commensurate with the effort.

(I'll try)

Hulberg was firmly determined in front of Leongand.
