Black Haired King

"This is the last place."

"Yes, this is the last place you'll be"

Grimd answers discipline to my whining. Three weeks out of the territory today. I came around to say hello to various places, but this is finally the last time.

Think about it. At the end of my sight I can see the former capital of the kingdom of Britalis, the territory that is now the Duke of Britalis. It is the only city inhabited by the former Royal Britalis.

After the war with the Kingdom of Britalis, as a post-war treatment, he executed the heavy towns of the country, including King Britalis, Prime Minister and General Zephyr, as war criminals.

I just didn't catch all the royalty. Queen Merienda, queen of King Britalis, and Prince Kayleigh, 11, one son, are alive.

Well, as a slave. There are many reasons, but again, it would be to pull out the fangs within the present so as not to turn to the Albust kingdom when it grows up.

In fact, I also came up with the opinion that it would be better to kill for the future as well, but because the King said that it was not necessary to kill those who were not involved at all, he only keeps them alive with the minimum necessary tying.

It's just that when I say slave, I live normal, unlike normal slaves. I am no different than a normal citizen just because my actions are restricted. I'm going to see you later.

Then what do you mean by Duke of Britalis territory, because it is the Duke of Enrit Britalis, the brother of the executed King of Britalis, who is ruling this territory.

When I say I rule, it's like not letting me live in a castle like a king, but trapped in a mansion the size of a normal one in a nobleman. The castle is managed by the Kingdom of Albust and serves as a place of work for the soldiers and civilians of Albust.

Why is he kept alive? The reason is that we cooperated with the Kingdom of Albust during the war. It is said that the war ended sooner than planned because General Zephyr surrendered to General Raven as soon as he was defeated by me and had his help to drop the major cities.

For that reason, they rule their territory as dukes without being captured as collaborators of the Albust kingdom. Naturally I have some bondage.

As far as the number of private soldiers the nobility can have is determined here, the Duke of Britalis does not have very strong authority because internal affairs are mostly the responsibility of the civilian personnel sent by the Kingdom of Albasto.

Still, there are rumors that they are building factions with the remaining Britalis nobles. He's a troublesome, cautious opponent.

I'm going to see someone like that now. Quite clearly, it is very troublesome. Over the past few days I have circled some of the surrounding aristocratic territories.

such as the territory of the nobility of the former Kingdom of Britalis or the territory of an emerging nobility similar to mine. I came around several territories, but there were two reactions.

A simple story, one who embraces me and one who is hostile to me. The acceptors are the emerging aristocrats of the kingdom of Albust who, like me, took part in the war and titled them because of their achievements. He treats me amicably because he knows I'm a war actor.

Those who are hostile to me on the exact opposite side of it are the albust nobles who are just like the former Britalis nobles. The former Britalis nobility understands. Until recently, we were enemies. It's not strange that you're still hostile.

More problematic than that are the aristocrats of the Albust kingdom, allies. Well, I know why. They're not emerging nobles who recognize me, nobles who don't have territory, but who have had titles for a long time.

A simple story, I suppose you're jealous of me for remembering Your Majesty better than ourselves. Is there anything else about the wives? The aristocrats, who became close to each other, told me that the wives were famous among the nobles.

Most nobles seem to know because we all attended His Majesty's birthday party. So, he's jealous that I'm married to beautiful wives with dark hair. That made me uncomfortable with Patricia coming about with me.

Why did you bring Patricia around to say hello, just in case? Then, because I wanted to console Patricia, who was depressed when she was eaten by the previous Gratney Worm.

Helena is trustworthy enough to be entrusted with her back, but she doesn't like being around noble greetings, so she takes it off the candidate, and Victoria is the other way around. Besides, I wanted you two to watch the kids.

Then I chose her because she was well known for her face, seemed to have a land survey, and could leave her back and aristocratic correspondence to her.

In fact, thanks to Patricia following me, there was no way I'd be worn out in my discussions with the nobles, and she'd help me on the side. Very helpful.

In the midst of all this, there were things that even my allies could turn against me, so I honestly had trouble meeting them.

I just can't just leave like this, so I'll make the carriage move on. When the gatekeeper shows the proof of nobility shown by Grimd, permission descends from the gatekeeper and proceeds with the carriage as instructed.

Talk to Patricia about your upcoming plans and see the view through the window. Outside is a level not inferior to the King's Capital of the Albust kingdom.

I was just letting the carriage go for a while, and I heard some yelling. And I can also hear the blunt sound of beating something together.

When I got out of the carriage window and saw the noise, there was a crowd there. And when I got interested, I got out of the carriage and headed toward the crowd.

From behind, you can hear Grimd and Patricia, but head straight to the wild horses. I managed to go forward and check something...... it was there...... no, it was the blonde boy who was drooling his whole body in the dirt and falling down and the three guys who were looking down at it.
