Common Sense of a Warrior

"Quickly... how are you going to contain the troubled man?

"I will do everything in my power to protect a certain general from the troubled people in our country. Because as soon as' a general 'is gone, the troubled people of your country will be active.... Conversely, I have a personal connection with' a certain general 'and it is also possible to hold the reins. I was wondering if that would be one reassurance material for your country that would threaten him. Besides, if my country and your country were to be in a relationship like yours with me, I would be able to generate profits that would allow them to shut up?

"A General" … "General Gazelle of the Kingdom of Tasmeria" The bravery of Gazelle is also roaring upon the Duchy of Limmel.

The Duchy of Limmel fears him, and hence the hardliners do not wage war easily either.

Naturally, for the hardliners, the presence of gazelles is nothing but a disturber.

And for fear of his threat, the Neutralists are also in the way of Gazelle's presence.

On the other hand, unfortunately, in the Kingdom of Tasmeria, the eyes of jealousy are turned to other nobles, and thus the beginning and end of those who plan to fall into his name.

... eagerly awaiting it, without knowing the existence of the hardliners and neutrals of the Principality of Limmel.

That's why I suppressed them by using my prime minister's position, no matter what means I took, and when I defended the gazelle... yes, I made a declaration here.

"... that's funny"

"On the contrary, how can you keep your country's troubled people quiet?

"In this period, everyone in the Duke's family is gathered in this capital. In the meantime, we want to hold a meeting and stop the troubled people..."

"... so the troubled people in your country will stop?

To my inquiry, Maurice jammed the words.

"I would like to ask you one thing. … Are you prepared to avoid strife even if you disagree with other Dukes?

"... don't ask stepped in questions"

"Yes. I wanted to ask you how much you feel about avoiding your battle. … I want you to think that's all we're going to talk about"

"... let me ask you the opposite. Are you prepared for that?"

"Yeah, sure."

Maurice was taken aback for a moment when she let her hair answer without interruption.

"That's a good answer."

"... As you know, my country had a battle after I became prime minister. When the war started, it was a sad thought. The duties of the Prime Minister shall be to carry out government. It's all in the interest of national security… to protect our own people. To this end, a stable state operation is, of course, also required to maintain good relations with foreign countries. outside, such as missing the sprouts of war.... before the war, I cursed my incompetence."

For a moment, I mock myself unconsciously.

What's in me is deep remorse.

... utterly, truly what is a prime minister.

Keep the nation in danger, the people to protect.

... but that's why I'm not lost anymore.

"Never again, I won't let you have a war or anything. Let innocent people, including martial arts officers, defend their country. … and for that matter, even if I may be called a ghost"

Maurice laughed slightly at my words.

"... unfortunately, I am more than proud of the blood that runs through me."

Listen quietly to that word spinning with a gentle voice.

"I ruled the Grindle region for generations before the founding of the Duchy of Limmel, and I kept protecting the people living in the land with the blood of my home.... Did you know? that the Duke of Grindle still has a habit of training his body more than he did at an early age."

"I know.... sure to train your own mind and body through martial arts, was it?

"Boulder, Lord Romel.... Yes, it is. It is proof that the people have defended that land themselves. The people who live in the Duke of Grindle have also loved that land and thus protected it with our home...... And that's still the case. That's why I want to respond to that. The first priority for me should be the Duke of Grindle and the people who live there. Even if his presence was a mistake as Duke of the Principality of Limmel."

When Maurice shut her mouth, the scene was surrounded by silence.

I open my mouth like I slash that quiet air in.

"... I see. Your readiness, let me ask you something. If so, let me talk to you.... Alf, get that paperwork."

"I'm in awe"

Alf, who was holding back, gave me the paperwork.

"… is a sign that the Duke of Baskar in your country is engaged in human trafficking"

"Become...!

"Indeed, trafficking in human beings is forbidden in your country… with that understanding, would you have appreciated?

"Naturally! Why is this happening..."

With Wana Wana and an angry or trembling hand, Maurice glances over the paperwork.

There was indeed evidence of trafficking in human beings.

Maurice, who was staring at it so much that a hole was drilled with her bloody eye, eventually took her gaze off the paperwork and exhaled deeply.

And I had a bitter laugh.

"... you're a boulder. Does the situation in our country mean that we are already naked by your competent men?"

That's all Maurice was upset about, which was a clutter that seemed to throw up slightly.

"... embarrassingly, there are people in trouble in our country about this."

"... what?

"As you know, the House of the Duke of Pascal is sandwiched between the House of the Duke of Sliger to the east and the House of the Duke of Crowe to the west.... Naturally, you have to go through one territory or another domestically to go to another country. But then, it's easy to get your feet on."

Maurice looked up so that she gradually gazed at me for conveying the sincerity of my words.

"You already understand... the Dukes of Kreutz used our country, which is adjacent to the south, for that reason. They took the neighboring lords of our country in with money and used our country to carry goods out of the country. When we looked at it separately, we detected an unnatural exchange of money and the flow of people about that part of it… It was the document that followed that path."

... Though my words aren't false, I didn't tell them the truth either.

The paperwork I gave you is certainly as worded and information obtained following the path of the Kingdom of Tasmeria.

It's just that I grabbed that I was engaging in human trafficking in the first place because, as Maurice pointed out, I was lurking a capable shadow in the Duchy of Limmel.

I didn't tell him that because I decided I didn't need to expose myself to that much and because I took care not to make Maurice feel bad about me or the Kingdom of Tasmeria.

Otherwise, he would not have taken the time to obtain information from another route, etc.

In particular, it was a stone and two birds because thanks to the fact that it was originally well feathered for tax revenues, as well as evidence of aristocratic injustice, which was suspected of being slightly more frequent in and out of the territory.

"... Lord Romel is still the bearer of great wisdom."

That said Maurice's voice color was only slightly soothing.

"That's what you said, most importantly."

Laugh, respond to his words.

Maurice was caught too. Nicole smiled for a moment... but soon, she was turning into a worried look.

"... I also seem to have to be ready"

But when he groaned, a strong will dwelt in his eyes.

"I give guidance to the Dukes of Sliger and Baskard, be ready for that..."

Maurice offers her hand with a grin.

"Let me thank you, Lord Romel. My heart is set. Let me take advantage of the information you gave me. … I hope to have a good relationship with you in the future"

That's what I said. I'll take Maurice's hand without getting lost.

"... I feel the same way, Lord Maurice. And if possible, I'd like to have a relationship like yours with me as a country."

"Hmm... that's funny. If it's about you, are you thinking about your future course of action? I'd like to hear more about it."

That's how, after a firm handshake, we discussed the inviolability pact we've been thinking about.
