Continental Hero Senki

Governor Krakow Vitort had a man to persuade.

It is my sister, Maya Krakowska.

"Maya. What is the Duke's duty to you?

But I can't convince you to just bump into the facts of things all of a sudden. That's where he started his conversation.

"... is it sudden, brother?"

"Just answer me."

Maya can only be confused for a moment when she was suddenly asked about this when she was reporting something about the wrongdoing of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. But with a few seconds, she comes up with her own answers with clarity.

But that wasn't the answer my brother wanted.

"The duty of the Duke's family lies in defending the kingdom as His Majesty's faithful minister"

"............... right"

Maya's answer is straight.

Bent Maya, that makes it a strange person, but then as a brother, he was dissatisfied.

This is not what she was wrong with.

Originally, the king and nobility are in a subordinate relationship, so it is not wrong to believe in acting as the king's faithful servant, or rather it can be called a correct answer.

But the right answer is not always just.

"It's not my opinion."

"So for my brother, what is the Duke's house?

"I think the duty of the Duke's family is to protect the people in the Territory."

My brother's opinion is also correct.

What is different from Maya is that it is the kingdom or the people who protect it. It can also be said that when the people and kingdom are in crisis at the same time, Maya attaches importance to protecting the kingdom and Vitort attaches importance to protecting the people.

"I would use any hand to protect the people. I don't care if they call me a traitor."

"Brother...?

Maya is confused by Vitort's words.

For his attitude was as if some specific crisis were striking the inhabitants.

"I couldn't defend my country and save my people, because if I were governor, I couldn't face my people."

"That's right. I, too, want to protect the people."

Who do you think does not want to protect the people? The only person who thinks so should be incompetence who is only interested in building his own wealth.

Maya also wants to implement it if it is for the people. Its heart is the same as its brother's.

"Then let's ask Maya. Maya, what do you do when you can't protect your people without sacrificing Her Royal Highness Princess Emilia?

"It's..."

Maya has to keep her mouth shut.

I've never thought about sacrificing Emilia for years.

Emilia, if the lives of one individual can save tens or hundreds of thousands of people, the rationale that Emilia should be dedicated to the altar of sacrifice certainly also applies to Maya. But......

"I will try to save His Highness Emilia and the people. Let me try not to be either choice"

"That's an exemplary answer."

In fact, that is the ideal.

It is an ideal theory.

But to Vitort's mind, this country was already beyond what could be managed with idealism.

"... Brother, what is it? All of a sudden."

Maya asks again. My brother says things are going a lot wrong today. Vitort's answer to that was something that had not been answered. He replied, squeaking as he looked at the pendulum clock in its majestic shape.

"... I thought it was time."

"Time, is it?

"Ah."

After saying that, he replied.

"It's time for my Duke's family to make important decisions."
