Civilization Game

And it was late that night. The time has come for negotiations as promised.

Lord and Roseanne gather in one room at the inn.

“... Bear, I have to talk to you. Can you excuse me for a second? ”

“It's okay. Let him sleep. ”

Roseanne looks at Beatrice, who is sleeping on her bed.

“You look exhausted. ”

“… Hmm. ”

Rod scratches his head. Well, as long as the party's okay.

“But you came alone without a companion? ”

“Yes! Everyone said it was up to me. Because I'm in charge!”

I didn't look so bright for saying so. When Lord got tired of her, she said ‘…… Actually.’ and I was lucky.

“The truth?"

“My pretenders are skeptical about this negotiation. They think war is inevitable. ”

“Hmm."

I felt like I didn't need to tell you more about what happened. The pretenders who say that persuasion is impossible, and Roseanne who negotiated alone.

The two of them stared at each other silently for a moment. The atmosphere was naturally ripe.

“First of all, I want to formally apologize for what happened today. ”

The Lord bows his head deeply.

“I'll take that.”

She lowers her head, smiling. From now on, it was not polite to refuse conversations and apologies among those representing each citizen.

“... Never mind what the mercenaries have to say. It's just a whimsical joke from the dwarves. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

In fact, Lord was shocked at that time. Abyss thought it was far from a culture of discrimination. However, there were some who borrowed the status of the country to protest in another country, because they were recently winning. I had a feeling that integration would not be more enjoyable than I thought.

After a moment of static, Lord opens his mouth first.

“Do you remember our last appointment? ”

“Hohoho! How could I forget? The mind at that time remains the same. But……. ”

Her expression sank.

“Now we have a position. ”

“… I see. ”

Now chairman of the Independent State of 'The Kingdom of Bethlen’, she was a well-endorsed leader of many. The situation was very different from before.

Thinking that there were no more stories, Lord came to the point first.

“You know we took down Genozerg this time, right? ”

“Of course, plus perfectus, plus white paper. ”

“Then the story must be quick. We intend to unite the entire West in the name of Abyss. And, of course, it's no exception. ”

Lord's gaze shifts sharply.

“At worst, the war will last forever. ”

“…… Yes, of course. ”

She looks up at the ceiling, avoiding her gaze.

“A nation of trustworthy kings and priests. Only those countries can run to the Empire. I envy you.”

She smiles bitterly.

“I'm a little jealous. ”

“ ……. ”

Lord was surprised. Could he have made such a sad face? I always felt like I'd seen her barefoot, full of fighting faces.

But there was no turning back. From Lord's point of view, Bethlen had to take it under control.

It is a geographical landmark at the western end of the world. Because it could be a lethal criterion depending on the enemy's use, it was not possible to leave the variables and move on to the next step. Regardless of Roseanne's personal trust, it was common belief among Eve and Tia and other shamans that this was the territory to be taken if we thought of the coming war.

“…… Roseanne. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“I don't want to fight you. ”

Lord sighs lightly and speaks.

“What we want is a complete ‘unification’ throughout the western world governed by 'One Kingdom’. Tell me anything you have to negotiate. ”

She takes a sip of the water she puts in, and then brings out the story.

“…… no matter who rules us, there are only two conditions for our people. The first is freedom of art. ”

Lord nods. This was obvious. That's why they started the war. That's why they're independent.

“And the other one is called 'Name.’ ”

Eventually it took me.

“… you can't abandon the name of Bethleen. ”

“Yes.”

She holds her hands together on her chest as she prays.

“Do you know the most crucial factor in resisting the dictatorship of Genoserg and getting people up? It wasn't me, the royal family. It was the name" Wetland. "All the citizens were united under the name of Bethlen, and eventually they were able to drive the Demibeasts out. Now the name Bethlen has become a symbol of freedom for us. ”

‘…… Hmm. ’

Rod hears the story and shuts his eyes for a moment and thinks.

“... You know, the second condition. ”

“Yes.”

Lord opens his eyes wide and looks her straight in the eye.

“I want you to be clear. By asking for a name, do you mean you want to keep your own royal family? ”

The question made Roseanne smile.

“… Bethlen is a country of culture. Culture is a beautiful blessing for all mankind beyond the national barrier. ”

Her voice flows out like a beautiful tune.

“Conquest of the Continent. Of course, it would have been great if we could have done it with our powers when Avamar was alive. But as I was under Genocert's rule, I felt it. ”

“What?”

“It is not a beautiful vision, but a path of cruel trials and madness filled with blood. That's when I realized that continental punishment wasn't what we thought it was. ”

‘…… Hmm. ’

I heard the answer with this. They didn't seem to have any intention of arguing over the dominance of the continent, with cultural activity ranked first. But they want to keep using the name 'Wetland’.

It was true that the whole country could not be carelessly written after the punishment because of rebellion or unity. Now, the citizen of Abyss says, "I am not an Abyss, I am a Belgian. 'Obviously there is a problem.

But she said, It's just a symbol of freedom. That's why I can't give up. From their point of view, it felt like they were being repressed for not being able to write the name of Bethlen.

‘... It's hard. ’

As my head aches, the accident becomes simpler. The neatest way is to use force to conquer.

But Lord had some responsibility for the establishment of the Kingdom of Bethlen. In a way, they were encouraged by the name of 'freedom’ to shake Genoserg, and the result was this country. Now that Genozerg is gone, I want to avoid trampling him down, saying I don't need him.

So Lord continued to ponder. How to give up the nationality of Bethlen, but still use her name.

“Roseanne. Writing the name of Bethlen. Is it really necessary to maintain the country's shape? ”

“…… Yes? What do you mean?”

“If you belong to us, we will unite all of the territories of Berlin, including Berlin City, to create a new regional concept. ”

Roseanne widens her eyes and waits for Lord's next words.

“Bethlen Cultural District. ”

“… Ah. ”

Her eyebrows tremble when she hears it.

“I give you permission to continue using the name 'Wetland’ within the scope of that district. I will guarantee you the right to govern and the freedom of art accordingly. But you belong to the Abyss, and you have to do your part and your duty as a people. Instead, what we offer you is……. ”

Rod clenches his fist.

“The power to defend freedom. ”

Then he spread out his palm.

“It's what you lack most in the past and in the present. ”

He was weakened, destroyed, and controlled by culture. Even if it falls out of Abyss' grasp, one day he will be ruled by another royal who seeks to conquer the continent. Is there still time to negotiate? Will you be able to defend your freedom? The answer had to be negative.

Lord finished his story. And she bows her head and says nothing.

‘...... Ba, I'm not responding. ’

Lord waits nervously, and suddenly she raises her head in a daze.

“Your Majesty!"

Then he rushes up and smashes Rod in the face with his chest.

“Great! It's so cool! Cultural Enclaves! Do it! ”

Rod gives a trembling look.

“... Are you okay with this? But your other pretenders... ”

“It's okay! Everyone will understand! If you don't like it, I'll go to the front of the house every day and try to convince them to lie down! ”

‘…… You're back to your original fighting personality. ’

Far from Lord, she smiles with joy.

“If you're going to do this, why are you making such a fuss? I was so frustrated that I had to go to war with you! ”

“No, no, no. Negotiation is usually like this... ”

She jumps to her feet, meaning she can't stand it.

“What, what's wrong? Again."

“Promise! Keep it! ”

Then Roseanne knelt on one knee.

“I, Roseanne Peterlin of the Kingdom of Bethleen, do solemnly swear to be your sword, Lord Polentia. ”

“… Uh, uh-uh? ”

Whether Lord was embarrassed or not, she did not stop reciting the words of the vow.

“... my will, my body, my heart. I swear from this moment forward that everything is yours. ”

‘...... Is it a vow here without fail? ’

Lord rose from his seat.

“I, Rod Polentia, take the pledge of Roseanne Petyr Betlin here and now. I will not spare the effort to protect her and her people. Her enemy is now my target, and her wish is now my dream. ”

She looks up at the road with her radiant eyes. Lord finished with her gaze.

“As your lord, I solemnly vow to lead you until the end of your breath. ”

Lord grabs her by the hand and raises her. She was smiling happily ever after.

“I look forward to seeing you again! Your Majesty!"

“Thank you for your decision. ”

- Roseanne Petersbethlen (B) has become an impostor.

- Roseanne Peters, under the command of Bethlen, has become a pretender.

‘With this, I also got hold of Bethlen. ’

Lord is relieved to be back in his seat. I felt like I was over a big mountain.

If the conversation had taken place in a serious atmosphere, the negotiations would have ended and gone to war on the condition of maintaining the 'name of Bethlen'.

Fortunately, the wealthy considered protecting the freedom of art more important than continuing the royal tradition, and there was room for negotiation.

“Hehe.”

Sitting down along the road, Roseanne was smiling in the kitchen, not having much to worry about.

“Your Majesty.”

“… Huh? ”

“I just sang it. ”

“ ……? ”

She stares at Lord with a heavy gaze. Lord feels a little scared. That gaze was like that of an eagle that was aiming for food beneath the surface.

“Hehe.”

At that time, Roseanne got close to the crawl and rod's body with her knees.

“… With… Roseanne? ”

“That's okay, right? You made a promise. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“My body is now completely yours. ”

She smirks.

“So no matter what you do to my body tonight, I can't stop you. ”

“... Cough. ”

Lord coughs. One coughed, but strangely bleeding from the nose.

‘... He may look mild, but he's still bold. ’

Lord looked at her. A beautiful, mature beauty with pink hair. I couldn't help but be tempted by Lord.

As my mind lines begin to relax, I feel a strong grip on my back.

“... is the owner. ”

“Bae, is that Bear? ”

Beatrice is still sleepy, but she climbs up into the body of Lord Slowly and sits on her lap like a twist. Then I turned my eyes to Roseanne.

‘... Huff! ’

Lord's eyes are wide open.

Are you jealous of my baby? ’

The impulsive physical desire vanished like snow, and the intense cuteness of the wrinkled creatures in this embrace reigned in my mind.

"Khhh! You're the only one I know!" ’

Seeing the road unarmed with a Helenehan expression, Beatrice thought it was a good idea to follow in her mind.

‘It's not easy either. Same thing happened to Unibell before.... ’

Roseanne sits down with a sad smile on her face.

‘A princess is meant to be born, but a queen must take it for herself! I can do better! "

She clenches her fist and burns with enthusiasm.
