When I return to Fort Aldes, I ask Mr Lady to call me to report on the situation in the Kingdom of Tornia.

Apparently, my men are looking into the situation in the wider kingdom of Tornia while helping the pedestrians. It seems that the pedestrians Mr. Talnes knows also make various conveniences.

"In a way, it has become a held relationship. They will take our people deep inside Tornia territory, and they will also be able to obtain thin items in Tornia territory at the dock. Mr. Talnes is leading four dealers at the docking yard on this side. Looks like the store has grown a lot."

He told us that story while he enjoyed the pipe.

Mr. Talnes has a shop in Mictos Village, too. Soon you'll be a big merchant.

"As things stand, we are continuing our attacks on the Kingdom of Mandale from the west and north. The Mandalay kingdom is joined by the armies of the former Madenian kingdom and the Neerest kingdom, so we don't think the war will continue next year."

Mr. Lady tells me he can't go near the battlefield and to the Kingdom of Mandale, but he can come and go without any problems in the territory of the Kingdom of Tornia.

Exactly. Restrictions seem to be placed on the movement of people and luggage from the Kingdom of Tornia to the Kingdom of Krabble, and the Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Tornia also seems to be exploring trade in goods via the Kingdom of Sylvania.

I see, so Mr. Talnes can play an active role.

Mr. Talnes is a thick man for his brother-in-law, so I'm guessing some of the four merchants are mixed up with the shoppers he used to take care of.

"It seems to take longer than originally planned. Aren't taxes on new territories also collecting amounts in excess of 30%? He said town and village sales are less than last year. In military garrisons, the reverse is increasing. Looks like they're trying to reduce the soldier's grievances a little bit."

You're surprisingly clumsy. Then the invasion of Crabble seems unlikely next year. If you send the situation to Mr. Uyle, it must also reach the Krabble Royal Palace.

"Can't you see exactly what's going on in the Wang capital……?"

"In the early winter, those who went to Wang Du for business should return. I took the spices, so they should come around some shops in Wangdu."

"The rest is west."

"They say the army on the streets of the Kingdom of Warham has pulled up. There are two squadrons left, but our troops are blocking the streets, so I was wondering if they were prepared for it... We haven't been particularly contacted by anyone monitoring the west ridge."

That's the problem with saying you pulled it up. The kingdom of Torresti, the Empire of Delia, and the Kingdom of Libram border the Kingdom of Warram. Torresty and the Empire of God wouldn't even think about hegemony, so did they work with the Kingdom of Libram? This is going to get information from the Krabble Kingdom side.

"I want you to know what's going on at the moment. It would be nice if you could explore the village over the west ridge."

"No one can be suspicious if you go down to the village with your hunting prey. We'll take it back before the first winter."

At the end of the meeting with me, Mu and I left the hall.

Parents and children. There must be a lot to talk about.

Mu's mother should be in the village to the north too, so why don't I tell her to live in this fort? Mr. Lady usually lives in this fort, too.

Sadie seems to be building a flower bed in the corner of the courtyard with Marian. I was impressed when I saw the flower beds in the villa. Looks like he's bought in a lot of flower seeds, but will he end up sprouting next year?

But if it's a fort surrounded by flowers, everyone will envy it. I think you'll be happy to give the remaining seeds to Mr. Torrell.

It was that night.

When dinner was brought in, suddenly Sadie pressed her mouth and left the hall.

Mu and Marian rushed after him, but eventually the two came home nicking.

"I sent Her Majesty to the bedroom. I'm not sick, so don't worry, but I'm fine."

"Congratulations! I'll be born in the early summer of next year."

What is it?

I accidentally took a seat and jumped out of the hall.

I'm going upstairs to the bedroom. Sadie watches me jump in with a baton and a rampage of doors open.

"Apparently, we were given children, too. Either way, I'm happy to be born."

"Yeah, the next generation. I'm sure you'll join forces with the kids at Mr. Torrell's and Mr. Zairas's."

Much younger parents, but you can rest assured that Marian is here.

Wait a minute, Mr. Marian is also acting as Secretary of the Interior. Wouldn't this be early to look for a nanny's mouth?

Smiled gently at Sadie and left the bedroom behind.

We're supposed to go back to the hall and get dinner, but you're worried Sadie won't eat.

"You don't have to worry about it. It's fine. I'll deliver the soup later. It's temporary."

"I don't think I can help. Nice to meet you, Marian."

I'm listening to my words as I nick them.

"You have to look for a nanny, too. We can't split anyone's mind, so we have to look for them now."

That's a tough story, too. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to leave it to Mr. Marian, but then I'm going to have to look for another secretary of the interior.

After all, it would be best for Marian to find the right person.

"Now Sylvania can rest assured. The late Empress will be delighted."

"But I also got worried. Examples of trading ships are taking shape."

"That's when, that's when. I'm not abandoning the kingdom, and if my succession grows up, it's fine. But if you don't do a lot of things before then, you won't be able to go out in peace."

Hey, is Mr. Marian trying to join us?

Perhaps it would be better to set a limit on the number of people some time early. If you start building a real ship, you'll know the inmates.

Ten days later, she passed the news of the birth of the Queen Sylvania not only within the kingdom, but also to both the Krabble and Torresti kingdoms.

On the guidance of Mr. Uyle, the nobleman, who became the king's nominee, came to state the celebration, but don't think we need to celebrate it at this stage.

Still, Sadie was politely greeting me back all the time. I don't care what I look like next door, but I can't be gone, so I was bowing my head to Sadie's greeting.

"What about the companionship of the next Führer, from Torresti………"

"It's not too soon to be born. I'm out of it. You're going to choose who your kids like."

The nobles who have come to such Sadie's words are circling their eyes.

When it comes to being royal, is it normal to marry politically with neighbouring countries? I'm sorry to hear that, too. I don't know which one will be born, but I agree with Sadie.

As the fall passes and the snow hits, Mr. Marian chooses two sisters from the Enchantress Squad to take care of Sadie.

I thought she was an unmarried sister, but she lost her husband to a Madenium army raid. Marian told me that your child was still there, but when you told me that story, you were crying.

I feel sorry for my late husband because I won't be back in time, but he must adore Sadie's child like my child.

At the winter fireplace, Sadie is knitting together. My stomach's getting a little noticeable, but you're still ahead of me.

I knit two different yarn colors so that they are both good. Looks like the Knights are even taking bets on which one will be born.

Following the torso, Mr. Zairas seems to be the initiator, but he must have been pleased.

Mr. Emilda comes like every day. I guess I'll always be a pretty niece. Maybe it's because of the unexpected similarities in temper, but don't be helpful because there are occasions when you look anxious.

When the year dawned, Fina gave me a report on tax revenues.

Approximately 5.6 million L. 560 pieces in gold coin conversion, but 56,000 pieces in silver. Adding thirty pieces of silver would be quite a tax revenue.

Food self-sufficiency is roughly 80%, and buying 20% from other kingdoms doesn't seem to be a problem for the state treasury.

"You'll be paying your salary starting this month, but you'll still have a third left. I'll pay the surveying unit and the cartography workshop in accordance with the soldiers."

"Please. And pay me monthly for the Tunda soldiers and militias that Mr. Torrell mentors. Because they're the trump card for the next battle."

Armaments also cost money unexpectedly. One horse has 20 silver coins. If you pair your weapon with Leather Yoroy, you'll need 20 more silver coins.

The more we expand our armaments, the more we will cost, so we should keep them to a minimum of armaments.

In that case, the eastern kingdom of Tornia will enter the temple.

I wonder if Mandale, that belligerent, is running out of money. Maybe barely enough to spend this year in last year's harvest. If it's a battlefield, the farmland will be revealed.

Traded goods have been delivered to the Kingdom of Tornia by Mr. Talnes and others, but they must not have reached Mandale at all.

Is the Kingdom of Mandale facing the sea? Otherwise, they'll stop the salt and you'll lose your temper.

Maybe you should check the merchant items as well.

I also know that the kingdom of Tornia is a landlocked country, so I will need to hold back my reasons for eventually targeting the Krabble kingdom.

In some cases, it might be an option to discuss it.

As the last hand, it must be important to coordinate between kingdoms.
