“...... I'll meet General De Farnese myself. ”

“Oh.”

Maybe he wants to meet in person to persuade him. The Marquis's efforts to prevent the war were hypothetical. No, in a situation like this, it's more appropriate to say you're pathetic.

“I'll give you a heads up. It is impossible to convince the general yourself. ”

“This is ridiculous. I can't get both countries on the phone because of a family that's been dead for a long time. The general will be happy if the believers are concerned about the problems they have to endure. ”

I smiled small.

“General Laura is my lover. Marquis.”

“Unless we're done talking... ”

The baron groans.

He still insists on meeting Laura. I didn't stop him from going to my territory while writing an expensive Movement Grimoire. Of course, there was no success. The monarch takes a lonely step on his way home.

I've officially activated the diplomatic channel.

It's perfectly natural to restore the emperor's deputy general's honor, and he asked the Kingdom of Sardinia to cooperate. I didn't forget to thank you enough for the lottery of the Farnese family.

None of the ambassadors in each country took my presentation seriously.

It wasn't exactly a request to give up the land ruled by the Farnese family long ago. I just asked you to let go of what I branded as a traitor. I put up to 100,000 gold in gratuity. Seemed like a simple solution.

─ You cannot accept a rebel lottery!

However, the mood was strange when the Kingdom of Sardinia revealed its intention to refuse.

He must have turned as many informants as he could. Each country identified this as an issue of the Habsburg imperial court and the pride of the Sardinian court. Well, it was a famous civil war. Even with a little attention, I was able to find the information right away.

From this point on, I did the best I could.

─ The Emperor cares deeply about the Deputy General.

─ If you nominate the Duke of Farnese, I will immediately repay the 150,000 Libra award without any delay.

He disguised himself as if he didn't want war in the empire.

In the Kingdom of Sardinia, we don't need a gratuity, so we asked them to stop interfering with our internal affairs. We raised our gratuities from 100,000 gold to 150,000, 170,000 and 200,000 gold. In other countries, it reflected that the empire is trying its best to avoid conflict.

But the kingdom of Sardinia refused.

As the situation unfolded, complaints spread among diplomats from all over the country. The Emperor of the Empire is asking for a favor, but he's too determined.

I wasn't blaming him publicly. I was concerned that minor problems would lead to full-scale diplomatic conflicts, only to that extent.

Now was the time.

─ The Kingdom of Thailand commits to end the conflict with the Kingdom of Polytunia and cooperate with each other forever.

─ We declare the borders of both countries to be permanent neutral and dedicate the region to the people of Manzi to make it even stronger.

Declaring total reconciliation with the Kingdom of Polytunia.

The nations of the continent welcomed this decision. It was a judgment that worried that another war might happen because the Great Battery had called for the troops. The temples have done nothing but give us a standing ovation for free.

The Empire wants peace. The gesture was consumed strongly.

After another drink, Batori the Great participated in the show.

─ It is easy for everyone to call for peace with their mouths. However, the real reality of peace is to yield each other half-heartedly. The war never stops because of this insubordination.... But the empire was different.

─ I couldn't help but be moved that the Empire truly wants peace. I sought only a peaceful solution, but in the empire, I proposed that we take one step further and achieve eternal peace.

─ The Empire has shown me and the nations what it means to truly think peace. We will have to imitate this posture in the future.

Around this time, the Black Wizard sent by the Great Battery's sister was slowly unraveling the curse. The king was rewarded for healing his brother.

Well, it's a little vague to call it payback. In a broad sense, King Battery paid back the debt for saving his own flesh and blood. What you're doing to a subject that looks like a bear is a grunt, grumpy.

I wonder what would happen to the Kingdom of Sardinia. Yesterday's friend became today's enemy.

In the atmosphere of the continent shouting "Love and Fitz," I once again generously offered a compromise.

─ I will reward 23,000 Libra for the Duke of Farnese lottery.

And stubborn refusal.

As the situation continues to unfold here, the ambassadors of the nations finally begin to raise their voices.

There were a lot of diplomatic modifiers, but it was as simple as plucking out all the branches and pulling out the core.

─ Don't go into labor without noticing the good atmosphere!

─ …….

The kingdom of Sardinia will be unfair.

I don't care if there's soft air on the continent or not. This way, through the bloody civil war, I can barely figure out who the rightful ruler is. Now come and lottery the traitor's family, what blood will be shed then?

It was literally a ridiculous domestic interference.

Sardinia responded to the criticism of the international community by gathering around the royal family and the nobles. House Farnese was the enemy of them all.

Let's start with the conclusion.

The kingdom of Sardinia was no match for me.

I cherished the cards again and again until the atmosphere became like this. Once the game became more advantageous this way, there was no hesitation. I opened up the portal I had been hiding.

─ Laura de Farnese is the most obvious proof and symbol of humanity's unity with the Horses! The general commander of the Empire is a human being, and under her command, all factions march in panic. How do you regard this iconic Great Person as a traitor!

─ Sardinia is a serious threat to the peace and harmony of the entire species. How can they not see?

─ I understand that Sardinia has its own agenda. However, no cause precedes the cause of humanity and the permanent peace of the Horses.

What a diplomatic carpet bombing.

I poured fierce criticism as if it had been a lie to offer a compromise so far.

The question of whether to lottery a family suddenly grew.

Upon reconciliation with the Kingdom of Polytunia, it became a question of maintaining or destroying the atmosphere of reconciliation on the continent, and now it's even a question of recognizing the symbols that Humans and Horses work together!

This was actually the most basic rhetorical technology.

I interpret the opposing party's claims as broadly as possible and minimize my claims as much as possible.

In sum, your refusal to accept the lottery is not merely an act of no lottery, but an act of unwittingly overwhelming madness that every nation has entered into a mode of reconciliation and of wanting to ruin the unity of the devil and humanity, just like the mother.

On the contrary, we only want one family lottery.

The technique of this expansion was perfectly effective in diplomatic warfare between countries and countries, as well as in the controversy between people and people. The kingdom of Sardinia was defeated by me in the game.

I sat on the palace terrace and watched the sunset. The wine cup in your right hand shimmers sharply in bright yellow sunlight.

“This is the essence of rhetoric, Daisy. ”

My heart was deeply satisfied. The continent was used as a long-term platform to isolate the entire country. I have never been more satisfied.

“Do you know what's the most important thing in rhetoric? ”

“You're pushing your opponent into a corner. ”

Daisy pours wine into the glass and answers. I laughed bloody.

“As expected, you are foolish. You always know one thing, you never know two. ”

“ ……. ”

“Remember this. Victory in rhetoric is a minority. ”

I soaked my mouth in wine and said,

“There's one mistake people often make who think they're good at arguing. It is to deal with debate as a one-on-one fight between the opponents. ”

“If so, do you mean no? ”

“Of course. I'm not just fighting them when I'm dealing with the Kingdom of Sardinia. Polytunia is watching, Frank is watching, Tuton is watching, Batavia is watching. ”

Rhetorical studies surpasses the art of fancy dress up speech fighting.

To persuade the public and the audience, not to defeat one person. That's rhetoric.

“What does it matter if the voices of those who have overcome the battle of words are noisy, their body movements are not stolen, and their cause and cause is lost?" I will lose the love of the crowd, and eventually win the battle but become an opponent who loses the war. ”

Rhetoric is inherently not a knight's duel, but a gladiator's fight.

A gladiator is more important than defeating an opponent. Engages and gains popularity. And so the audience turns to their opponent, who's fallen to the ground, and says, "Kill! Kill! Kill! 'I can only assume that I have won.

“From beginning to end, disguise yourself as righteous. Make everyone admit that there is justice here. After that, we will discuss war. ”

“… but Father. We don't have enough reason to go to war yet. ”

I nodded.

“Ah. Definitely not enough last fireworks. ”

I watched the sunset over the wine glasses. The sunset light was gently curved on the glass.

“When that happens, just give me a gift of fire. ”

Three days later, the criticism of the international community is growing.

An Earl Fabia from the kingdom of Sardinia detonates the bomb.

─ Laura de Farnese is a heavily traded sex slave.

─ She escaped from the slave auction house and fled to Habsburg, selling herself to her own people. It is unjust to lottery a traitor's family. How can I treat sex slavery as a duke?

For reference, Fabia is the city where Laura's slave auction was held.

This bombshell remark rocks the diplomatic plate strongly. It was a fact that everyone knew, but no one had ever publicly revealed it. Of course. It was an insult to call the Deputy General of Habsburg a sex slave.

Earl Fabia would have thought it was an opportunity to reverse my disadvantage. Laura poured out the evidence that she was a sex slave. Most of the data was secretly sent from this side. Well, you'd think it was the Earl himself who found the evidence.

The revelation worked. Nobles with strong class ideals carefully supported Sardinia. Perhaps this side would be disadvantageous if diplomatic warfare continues like this.

However, there is one thing the Earl has not considered.

That is, I had no intention of ending this with diplomatic warfare from the beginning.

“Raise an army. ”

― ― There's enough excuses.

Defeat the blasphemer in the Empire's General.
