Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

"That's why I don't know if I'm going to shut up until my brother."

"... oh"

"It is at times like this that my brother should take the initiative and get out in front of the people. Everyone respects their brother, their father, their mother."

"Carl's right. My brother has to carry the future Lucion."

"I know. I know."

Both Haldir and Halkar have acknowledged that Halberg will be the next king. Rather, there is something like thinking it has to be Hulberg. You're both sweet to your brother. That's been the case for a long time, and I didn't think that was a bad idea. It is only because of the trust that it can be left to Hulberg. The certainty that I was trusted helped.

Right now, we need strength.

A great king who has led Lucion to this day is about to end his life.

Halwar's death would be a national disaster.

Lucion, who has lost a leader named Halwar, should temporarily lose his stirrups. No matter how much Halberg has the support of his subjects, the shock of the loss of a heroic leader is extremely intense. It is also more obvious than to see the fire that there will be confusion and that what goes in there will appear.

Especially the south is noisy.

Tales of countries like Urid Ulam and Wozn plotting their daily invasion of Lucion territory are coming into Halberg's ear. Those countries probably even grabbed that something was happening to Halwar.

It hasn't been made public about Halwar falling and remaining caged in his bedroom for more than six months. Intelligence control was thorough, and the people should have been foolish, and many military personnel, and civilians, didn't even know. You wouldn't even know the majority of people who work within the royal palace. Only the compartment where the king's bedroom is situated is surrounded by this absolute silence.

I hadn't even told my allies, Gandia. The information does not reveal where it leaks from. Careful attention needed to be paid.

Still, I am confident that the information will be leaking.

It's something that leaks out of nowhere, if you can't completely seal the border and control the information perfectly, like a temporary Kruselk. Nor is there any possibility that intelligence agents or agents from all over the country are lurking in the royal palace. Regardless, people working in the Royal Palace are constantly being investigated, and it's not infrequent to prosecute agents from other countries, but that's where they twist their necks when they say it's all right.

Controlling information "is extremely difficult.

And there's no way to stop the information from being leaked once.

(National disaster…?)

What floats behind Halberg's brain is about Gandia, our neighbor and ally. Gandia suffered a similar national disaster more than a year ago and has lost part of its national territory. There was an invasion from Logner as the lion king Siuscloud Ray-Gandia died and was serving his mourning. The Logner army built a bridgehead of Gandhian domination by falling the brilliant Balsar Fortress.

Not in history, but what would have happened to Gandhia if the Logner army had embarked on Gandhia control as a stronghold for Fort Balsar? Gandia is not the only one. Nor does Lucion know what was going on. Lucion is an ally of Gandia. The need to divide defensive forces in the north of the country cannot arise because Gandia territory lies on the north side of Lucion. Again, Gandia relied on Lucion's presence to protect the south.

If that Gandia had been defeated by Logner Zalwarn's army, Lucion could have been immediately attacked and destroyed.

Though I know it's useless to just think about such assumptions.

The more I wanted to think about it, the Gandhian leap was going well, and miraculously enough.

After a while, Hulberg cut out the story.

"... for now, I'm going to contact my brother-in-law."

Indoors, only Hulberg and his two younger brothers. Three men are discussing face-to-face in a corner of a large room. From the side, it could be a slightly strange sight. But it was a very natural sight for the Hulbergs. Especially since this past month has set aside time to talk like this every day. Discuss the future of Lucion. No matter how much time I spent, there was nothing wrong with it.

The tea served on the table has cooled down at some point. It was given to Lucion by Gandia and looks like tea from the South. Gandia receives gifts from Remanifra, a country of the South. They have a lot of tea among them, and Gandia seems to be distributing that tea around to friendly countries. Remanifra is an ally of Gandia and a native of Queen Nage. It is also a nod for Remanifra to deliver gifts to Gandia from time to time.

"To His Majesty Leongand?

"For the sake of the moment, we need to install cooperation."

For what if, etc., both Haldir and Halkar had a few depressing eyes. Whether you're ready or not, when it comes to actually talking about it, it's something to stab at.

What if? I mean, when the curtain closed on Halwar's life.

"Like what?

"Luckily, Lucion owes Gandhia numerous loans"

With Halberg just like that, the two brothers seemed convinced.

"I see."

"Whether His Majesty Leongand will accept"

Both Haldir and Halkar grew up under Halwar's Kaoru, as did Halberg. I have inherited many things from my wise father. It was natural to have a good guess, and that's why Halberg trusted his two brothers and decided they were enough to discuss it.

Hulberg was proud to say that he knew the most about becoming one of the Leongans. We've played a lot since we were young. We talked a lot about where he was playing "Ugly," and that's why I wanted to walk with Leongando. I tried to keep following the same dream. Though I've only forgotten my dreams and had days like being chased by reality.

"My brother-in-law is a deeply emotional man. It's more about moving with emotion than reason. It's a virtue and a weakness on my brother-in-law... but"

Deep emotions are nothing limited to Leongando.

All the Royal Gandhian humans were more pitiful people than they had to be. Siuscloud, Leongand's father and Halwar's best friend, even Grecia, the current great queen of Siuscloud, did so. There are places where emotions tend to take precedence over reason. And emotions in this case, more than anger and hatred, are dominated by things like love and mercy, which is why the Royal Gandia is loved by the people. If this were a trait that would wield feelings of anger and hatred, it might not have garnered support from the people either.

"In this case, you can use it."

"Usage is a little different... well, that's the thing"

Although I learned some hooks like Halkar did, it doesn't make any difference that I'm trying to exploit the nature of the Gandhian royal family.

"Anyway, we'll use it for Gandhia tomorrow,"

"Tomorrow?"

Halkar seemed surprised by the suddenness of Halberg. I know very well that Hulberg is not always the kind of person who rushes to anything. It is also true that not hurrying means being dull is a piece of paper, and that it has caused my younger brothers and ministers to do so. But I can't just say that this time.

Halberg looked into his brother's eyes and told him.

"The sooner the better"

"Father by so much...?

"... oh. Dangerous."

"It's what I was prepared for... but"

"Oh...... that's hard"

Hulberg nodded quietly, keeping his back in the chair and meditating. Rising behind the lid was the figure of a lean and fading father, like a man slowly but surely on his way to death in a luxurious bedroom. There's not much time left. Halwar himself understandably has had only a few moments.

My father dies.

Refrain from that too unrealistic fact at present, Hulberg had no choice but to suffer. And I thought about my wife, who was suffering more than I was. Linonclair also strongly inherits the properties of the Gandhian royal family. Filled with pity, love and mercy for others, she admired, revered and loved Halwar, who became her stepfather, like her real father, ever since she became the Lady of Halberg. The depth of that affection may be more than the Halbergs, a real family.

The blood of the Gandhian royal family is so intense and beautiful.

That's why he's in agony, too.
