Continental Hero Senki

That's the middle of November, a month or so back in the calendar.

In the absence of a tentative truce agreement with the Second Reich of Christ, and in the busyness of not being able to attend a banquet to celebrate the victory on the ground, Yuzef, Sarah, and Fine drove a carriage there to Esterburg, the imperial capital, also to greet the local commander.

Along the way, in Istburn, the second city of the Empire, Fine broke up Yuzef and Sarah. Because it is fastest for both parties to get to their destination if we break up here.

"Mr. Feene, please!

"Major is the one. - Good luck!

Their breakup was short. That's why things were sudden.

Fine arrived in Imperial Capital on November 25.

What she saw was the figure of the imperial capital overflowing by citizens confused by the civil war in the neighbouring kingdom of Silesia - which, naturally, was not. What was there was the same as usual, the city of Her Majesty the Emperor to whom she pledged allegiance.

There was no particular obstruction by assassins or operatives, like spy novels running around in plots.

So, Fine was a little confused.

"... Isn't the work of severance in the Ministry of Information even massive? Or is it moving big in the back? Less impact in the civil war… what is happening in the border zone"

But the only information she has at this point in the thought of doing so is a letter sent by the Princess of the Kingdom of Silesia in a somewhat bigoted manner.

To gather information, she needed to meet her family promptly.

But when the intelligence ministry has a traitor, the intelligence ministry building is now the enemy's main mountain. It's hard to see you there. But the lucky thing for Fine is that Fine is the daughter of a good family in the Empire, and Fine's family are all professionals on that path without having to argue.

"Your Grace, to the residence of the Earl of Linz"

To say so briefly, the man of the official carriage did not betray her words, nor carried her to the Count's residence. And at the Count's residence, she waited.

I want my family home.

It was on the following November 26 that the busy Earl Linz family of humans were brought together and brought to the Count's residence.

As Fine's father, Minister of Information, Count Roman von Linz.

Make it my sister, Claudia von Linz, Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

The content of the conversation is natural...

"So, how far did you go, Fine? How's it going?

"You look a little feminine, and you've already dedicated your virginity?

"What are you both talking about!!

I was a parent idiot and a sister idiot.

As a matter of course, I am more worried about the future of my daughter (sister) than about the future of my neighbour on the verge of emigration as the honorable lord and next lord of the Empire.

"Father, sister, do you know what's going on!

"What. I was just asking. I'm not asking for a detailed report, Fine."

"Then don't tell me from the beginning!

"Um, nothing to deny, just blushing my cheeks and the conclusion that will lead me to observe Fine's gaze - Fine has Waresa on the battlefield..."

"Sister, even your sister will beat you if you say more."

"If Fine punches me, I wonder if that's it."

Before the two rampant thoughts, Fine has no choice but to sigh. Damn, I wonder why I came back to Empire feeling so critical.

Feene weakened and covered her face with her hands so that she could sneer.

But when I saw Fine like that, my father, Roman, and my sister, Claudia, smiled satisfied.

"Huh. Looks like you finally lost your shoulder strength"

"... Huh?

To the words, Fine looks haphazardly at his father's face.

Roman, the head of the Count Linz family, deserved the title and gracefully preferred the aroma of tea. And beside it, Claudia offers the maid's brought western sweets in front of Fine.

"I don't know if it works by telling Fine, but it's times like this that make jokes and relieve tensions are important. If you're too nervous, you can't do anything right."

"... sister"

What Roman and Claudia saw back at the Count's residence was the appearance of Fine, who was in no time in haste and trembling before a sense of crisis: the Civil War in Silesia.

Therefore they said something that was not in the pattern to relieve the tension.

... of

"-But in your sister's case, you absolutely meant it, didn't you?

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

Claudia slipped away from Fine's questioning eyes.

Rarely, it is the moment when the sisters' offense is reversed.

---

"This is the 'traitor' roster where we know it now."

That being said, what Roman put on the table was the material on the cover that said, "Prepared by the Ministry of Intelligence and Inspection". The Inspectorate of the Ministry of Information is a "secret detective organization of the Counts of Linz", which belongs only to humans with an extra-large trust from the Count of Linz, Minister of Information, and is also responsible for provincial defense.

However, it had just been established and did not make it to this civil war.

"But you've done so much research, Father"

"No, one way or another, that's Versbach's pattern."

"… then I'm convinced"

Kurt Versbach.

Director, Imperial Ministry of Information, Part IV (Department for Work Activities at Home and Abroad). The identity is Herbert Rebar, a former capital defense commander of the Republic of Karlsbert and a "hater's rival" whose foundations were cornerstoned by a spurious ploy at the outset of the Karlsbert Civil War.

If such a human being tried to defend himself under the Count Linz family, an expert in intelligence... I would rather think that the information obtained would be too little.

"What do we have in common?

"Right. Except for some, he's a splinter nobleman. And many of the ex-neutral nobles who, exceptionally, have cooperated with the separatists - albeit in small numbers in absolute terms - have ruled the Second Reich border region of Christ"

"Christ......? Why is that?

I can still tell if it is in an area bordering the Kingdom of Silesia.

It is also understandable in the border region with the Eastern Continental Empire, which is the stronghold of the Grand Duchy of Carol.

But it was surprising to Fine that the Christ side. But when I heard my father's words that went on, I understood immediately.

"The former neutral aristocracy's turn to splinter is mostly in the form of a backward chase. In chronological order, it's been a long time since the civil war broke out... and it's probably due to our empire's dominance over his country."

"... the fall of Crete, the insurgency in the Glicos region. Are you saying this is a great opportunity to spread your interests east?"

"That's the thing. Apparently, His Highness Valter is flirting with it"

Roman continued, even though it's not the land you got on your own.

Sure it is. It was the work of the young officers of the Kingdom of Silesia who were able to seize the land from the Glicos region and the island of Crete.

"The splinter from the original should have lost quite a bit of authority in the resource-ministerial fraud case... but the momentum was boosted again because he gained the political strength of Prince Valter?

"There's that, but it's not the only thing that's troublesome."

That said, Roman suppressed his eyesight. There are not so many problems plaguing my father that much, and if there are, it is a matter of shaking the backbone of the Ostmarc Empire.

And that Feene's ominous hunch was in the middle.

"They've brought up nationalism because they're crazy. The tradition continues, the nationalism of the Livonia aristocracy!

Rarely, my father roughed up his voice.

"I can't believe the 'splinter' was literally willing to 'split' even Ostmarc as well as Silesia"

Claudia, too, shakes her head to the side as she shudders.

I know as much as Fine doesn't like why my father and sister take such an attitude.

It was not long after she met Yuzef, in the ghetto of Crosno, under the Emperor's direct jurisdiction, that she felt it. Fine was feeling the silent pressure in Crosno that there were people from many ethnic minorities in poverty who devoured privileges solely by blood.

Fine at that time also wept without withstanding the pressure.

However, it is self-evident that the Empire will be the feather of crying in this case.

Each inter-ethnic sentiment in Ostmarc, a multi-ethnic and multicultural nation, is complex, which is why the empire decomposes in the air if it is not well controlled. The polar theory is that the imperial intelligence ministry is exactly the organization for this purpose.

The Ostmarc Empire is a nation formed on bitterness.

That is about to be broken by a splinter who can only see the profit rolling in front of him and devour privilege.

"But thanks to you, I know why we delayed getting the information under Major Yuzef. If the aristocracy in the border zone of Christ had worked with the separatists and gained more endorsers in Livonia nationalism, more information would have been blocked."

"Right. That's why Fine's return to the Empire so soon would have been a good place for them to fall short of expectations"

Therefore, it is a story that I know not to say that I should not give them any more prep time.

But the problem is, period, season.

It's November now, and at this point Esterburg is already getting colder. Silesia is outrageous.

"By the time the full-scale winter begins, they will have one more military action to take. And from there, it will be a fierce diplomatic battle."

Roman affirmed so from his long experience in the Bureau of Investigation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Claudia, secretary to the Foreign Secretary, agrees with that.

"So far, Carlsbert is the only country that supports the Silesian Kings. My empire, as you know, is not the place to be."

"... Carlsbert, are you"

"It is Princess Emilia's duty to revive the kingdom. Looks like they support the Kings with that in mind. Thanks to you, it seems to be affecting the Grand Duchy."

"What did Mr. Versbach say?

"He also supports the Vintage Kingdom. Because the rise of Livonia nationalism is like water and oil for him to set up Lakian nationalism."

To the words, Fine appeases.

To be honest, because not so many people on the continent can beat that man in a ploy.

"But Carlsbert alone is also a good place to lack power. We need to put pressure on other countries to maintain neutrality at best. Claudia, how are things in the surrounding countries other than Carlsbert?

"As always, the Holy Tyrrhenian Pope is still statically watching things and aiming at the interests of fishermen, and the Eastern Continental Empire is in the middle of reform and probably will not intervene because there is a harsher winter ahead of Silesia. I wonder if the Union of Livonia Nobles... depends on us. The Duke of Hermes Berger, sympathetic to Ostmarc, is activating the veto."

"That means we can always reverse the situation if we do something in the country."

To my father's words, my two daughters nodded strongly.

But who would have imagined it at this time? That there is another country, one that will bring important decisions to this civil war in Silesia.

With no reason to know that, Roman gives instructions.

"Claudia, you go back to the Foreign Office and continue to be an external compromise. I don't care if it's an embassy party or a birthday party, just meet him and put pressure on him."

"Er... I'm good at putting pressure on you, but I don't party... I don't like Odysama's gaze because she's always focused on her chest or her butt. There's no country with younger ambassadors, Father."

"Don't you dare, do something about that sexuality."

"I can't. Oh, yeah. I came up with a good thing. Fine, Waresa, please! Half the time is fine with me!

"Absolutely not"

"Kechi."

"Fine, Claudia, do what you're told. I need to talk to you."

"I'll do everything in my power but talk, my dear father."

Claudia waves flirtatiously and quickly leaves the mansion to be told nothing more. Seeing that back, the two left sighed at the same time.

But there is a professional father, also a minister of information, who is accustomed to the treatment of Claudia. Switching was quick.

"Fine, you go to Silesia and tell the Kings what's going on. The Empire supports the Kings, but says the intervention could be a lot delayed"

"Okay, Father."

"... and Fine"

His father whispered to Fine, who was about to leave. From that tone, she also finds that it is somehow not a big deal.

"Fine, you're on the verge. Now it's from the royal family."

Fine's mother, Marquis Katherine von Coudenhoff, said she pushed off the opposite and declined to engage with the royal family, choosing Viscount Roman von Linz, a beloved man.

And the moon passed, and beneath her daughter Fine was also brought the fringe from the royal family. If it is an ordinary noble lady, it is a story of immediate acceptance.

Regardless, Fine responded instantly.

"Absolutely not, Father"

I answered more clearly than I had just said to my sister.

"I guess."

My father, too, flaunted his shoulders just to say he deserved it.

The blood of the Earls of Linz, the Marquis of Coudenhoff, was indeed handed down to a woman named Fine von Linz.
