Continental Hero Senki

It was on January 3, 638, of the Continental Calendar that the Imperial Chancellor, Sergei Romanov, announced his own policies to all continental states as well as within the Empire.

That policy he announced was something that could only be evaluated for having caused shocks all over the continent.

Naturally, that information also reached the ears of the Minister of Information of the Ostmarc Empire naturally.

"What do you think of this?

The Minister of Information, Count Roman von Linz, spoke to the woman standing before him. To my proud daughter, who is still young and a little younger with a lingering face, but has already experienced several scenes to ensure that she stretches her talent.

"Nothing like this, either. This is not enough information, we must gather more information. Specifically, because budget fluctuations and specific trends in government dignitaries, in particular the Marquis Ladigel, seem to be making any positive moves. I think we need to find out there first, Father."

She communicated it to her father with perseverance and with precise commentary.

Uncle Linz nods loudly with a satisfied face when he hears that.

"Boulder, you're my beloved daughter. Don't worry about it. He's going to inherit Linz's family name."

"I haven't said I'm going to succeed yet."

"That's troublesome"

Uncle Linz looked like he was in real trouble. It is not natural for the Minister of Information to put emotions on the table, but nature and face are dull if he puts his beloved daughter in front of him. I mean, in a vulgar way, he's a "parent idiot".

I am now in conversation with Uncle Linz, who will be the eldest son of the Count Linz family and, if nothing, will inherit that Count Linz family name in the future. He is Claudia von Linz, who will be 20 this year. Her face and personality are similar to her sister Fine's, but this is a feature of a woman who inherits Linz's lineage.

Claudia's current status is Assistant Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Ostmarc Empire. That would mean the father-in-law of Uncle Linz, and the men of Marquis Leopold Joachim von Coudenhoff, grandfathers of Claudia and Fine. She received her grandfather's life and came to give her father information on the young prime minister of this empire.

"Well, whatever the specifics, do you think this new imperial policy will succeed?

"... I don't know. I suppose it depends on the measure of the Imperial Chancellor Sergei."

The Eastern Continental Empire has three major policies at its core, many of which take the form of accompanying policies. Naturally, the three policies at its core will be important, but they are attracted to its novelty.

"The liberation of serfs, a radical review of foreign policy, beginning with the anti-Silesian alliance, and disarmament. It is a very thoughtful reform for the Eastern Empire. Especially since the founding of the Continental Empire, the abolition of the serfdom policy, which lasted nearly 1,000 years, can be said to be an extraordinary shift."

"The same goes for the review and disarmament of the anti-Silesian alliance. Or is this a testament to the poor financial situation of that big country"

"I don't know. I'm sure we'll have to gather some information around there."

Sergei's announcement only showed that title yet. There was no mention of the specific content, and it was also unclear, in particular, about the scale of disarmament to which States were paying attention.

With his thoughts on that point, Uncle Linz recalls the name of a certain person.

"If you're my friend, or maybe you can come up with an answer"

"Friends?"

"Ah. He's a friend, Fine's fiancée."

"... uh, did you have that kid fiancée?

For Claudia, the fiancée's information was water in her sleeping ear. It was so shocking information that Sergei's new policy didn't matter.

"Even so, I don't know who they are yet."

……

In other words, it was one of Uncle Linz's plans, but Claudia was half sure the plan would succeed. Because his own father has never failed such a plot. Claudia is confident that she won't be surprised if she makes it look like she didn't do anything superficially and worked so badly behind her back.

"Well, whatever your father's paranoid friendship is, if you ask that friend, he'll know the answer?

"That's the thing. And even if I wanted to hear the answer, I couldn't because he's not in this empire right now."

"... you say?

In response to Claudia's question, Uncle Linz smiles nicely and deeply.

"He's at the forefront of history now."

Claudia was first interested in her father's words. What the hell kind of person is he? If he was a friend of the Count, he still imagined that he was the one with the imperial title.

But all Claudia's imaginations were off. That friend of Uncle Linz's was an officer from a peasant who still had no noble title at the time.

Although Claudia had been spreading her imaginary wings for a while, Uncle Linz quickly undone the direction of the story.

"Whatever the matter, now Sergei Romanov has proven to be qualified as the next emperor's vessel. Even if he hadn't thought of this himself and found it, there must be only one metric to approve such a major reform. In that regard, he was promised to be a famous man."

Uncle Linz's comments were both correct and dangerous conclusions.

The birth of the famous Empire of the Eastern Continent, the largest virtual enemy of our neighbours, was an issue that could not be seen before by the Ostmarc Empire. How to cut through this will be the biggest key to determining the future survival of the Empire.

Claudia had come to the same conclusion. But at the same time, she was thinking of something different from her father.

Is it really a good thing to join hands with the Kingdom of Silesia? If the Eastern Continental Empire once again wages war against the Kingdom of Silesia, it is certain that it will not work out as it did in the spring war ahead.

What will Ostmarc do then? Instead of wasting the efforts made so far if the Kingdom of Silesia were to perish, there were concerns that it would be a war in the near future with the eyes of the Eastern Continental Empire.

It's not too late now. He wondered whether Uncle Linz or Coudenhof should be consulted to raise the theory of Silesian division.

"By the way, Claudia, it's a different story..."

When Claudia was turning her thoughts in a somewhat dangerous direction, Uncle Linz suddenly changed the subject suddenly.

"What is it?

In response to her simple question, Uncle Linz also returned a clear answer to her.

"Claudia also has a few stories to talk about. Interested?

At that time, the Information Minister's Office was engulfed in dozens of seconds of silence.

At any rate, if this was the first time this father had brought a story about an affair, and if he was willing to let Linz inherit his family name and aim to further develop the house by marriage, the other person could become an extra famous person.

Claudia had some difficulty responding. But she herself, just wondering if it might be a bad time to get married, could have said this was a good opportunity.

"... I'm not really interested, let's ask"

Claudia answered that in disguise of calm, and even in dislike. Most of all, it would have been a delicate measure to say whether or not to go to Uncle Linz, my real father and expert in information.

Continental Calendar January 3, 638.

That day was the day Claudia von Linz, the eldest son of the Count Linz family, accepted the fringe, and also the day when the Royalist/Kingdom of Silesia coalition defeated the National Piety in the Battle of Roshtitze in the Karlsbert Civil War.
