Dungeon Defense (WN)

The new year of 1513 is dawning.

It's been eight years since I fell into this world. It seemed like a lot of time had passed, and surprisingly it didn't seem to have flowed very much. Maybe it's because I've had a busy day....

“Godfather, it's tea. ”

“Oh, thank you, Luke. ”

Luke places the tea on the table. A little more clumsy than Daisy, but quite angled.

Luke resigned as Deputy Chief of the Vigilante. As long as Jeremy is the leader of the vigilantes, it was natural for Luke to jump out. Luke was given a new assignment in place of the vigilantes: the deacon.

“Are you more familiar with the butler's duties? ”

“Not yet, but thanks to the Maid of Honor. ”

Luke smiles beautifully.

Luke dressed in a black butler's uniform looked completely different. Used to be a vibrant and pure natural boy, but now I have deep sadness and grief in my eyes. My body was always in excellence.

The virgins of the territory cheer for Luke's transformation. I like the crisp Luke, but I also like the strong Luke that smells like aged wine. However, despite reactions to the deterioration of our territories, Luke has cut off his messy, messy love life.

I nodded.

“It is common for a butler to have a higher position than a bridegroom. But in the meantime, Daisy has served as a butler, so she's ahead of you and a supervisor in many ways. Learn hard.You have great expectations of your sisters. ”

“…… Yes, Master. ”

Luke smiles sadly wherever he is.

Ah, I felt good. I purposely talked a lot about Daisy in front of Luke. Every time Luke was sad, he took care of his face so that I wouldn't see his emotions. It was more pathetic and fun.

If I tell you, the tiger will come.

“Father.”

Daisy enters the Oval Office and bows politely. Daisy glances at Luke and looks back at him naturally as if she didn't see anything. Luke winks at you with those fuzzy eyes.

Hey, what a stunning sight.

Recently, thanks to this brother and sister, I have gained strength to live. Daisy being so cold to Luke that she doesn't need to, Luke being desperate to see his sister and not telling him anything. It was really rewarding to watch. It would be even cooler if the two of you raised the love of the forbidden.

“What's the matter, my lovely daughter? ”

I smiled freshly at Daisy in fact. Daisy's expression rots. However, he immediately returned to the face of the grave and delivered the letter to me.

“…… This is a letter from the south of Frank. ”

“Hmm. The duc of Masalia. ”

I broke the seal and read the letter.

The letter was written in a very respectful tone in an orderly handwriting. From the first sentence, I began to say, 'Watch out for the pillar of the great empire, the palace of the most powerful empire, and the only strong bridge between man and horse, Duke Curtos.' I was flattered too much and my anus was going to collapse if I did something wrong.

“Looks like you're struggling to contain the rebellion. ”

I smiled.

Frank enters chaos as planned.

Legally, Earl Bercy has asked all domestic cities to ‘voluntarily state'. It's a kind of socio-contractual policy, where cities have to make their own decisions about whether or not to belong to a country called Frank.

This was pretty deep.

“Hmm.”

I folded the letter and looked at my brother and sister.

Let's test your skills.

Despite Daisy's overwhelming dominance, it was a bit of an entertainment.

“Luke. You do realize that at Frank, the V.C. solicited voluntary loyalty from the cities, right? ”

“Yes, Godfather. ”

You can see Luke is a little nervous.

“Why do you think the Verci Lawyer demanded loyalty now? ”

“Well…… In Frank, there are a lot of cities that don't pay taxes at the moment. To make a formal justification to blame those cities…… ”

Luke picks out a spacious word and answers.

I smiled softly. It was almost childish. The Deputy Chief of the Vigilante was supposed to have an eye on politics. If I didn't pass this test, I was disqualified as a butler.

“Daisy, what do you think? ”

“This is an implicit approval of the birth of the Republic. ”

Daisy was speechless.

I don't know if that's an unexpected answer. Luke opens his eyes wide to look at Daisy. Immediately, I turned my head in embarrassment.

“Hoho. Tell me why. ”

“First of all, the old nobles and cities did not pledge allegiance to the Frankish government. They swore allegiance to the Emperor. So when they lent the tax or the military to the state, they didn't give it to the government, they gave it to Frank's emperor. ”

Daisy speaks about her drinking without a hitch.

“I pledge my allegiance to the government in the absence of an Emperor…… It is the same as implicitly approving that ‘Frank no longer needs an Emperor’. That's the start of the Republic. ”

I nodded.

“Good point, Daisy. Like you said, it's a new form of government. ”

“ ……. ”

Luke lowers his head as I compliment Daisy.

After becoming the chairman, Luke was realizing how great his sister was. Daisy not only handled all of Marathon's errands, she was often involved in territorial affairs. I was sorry to compare it to Luke, who practiced swordsmanship in the vigilantes.

“The majority of the cities were willing to embrace Earl Bercy's policies. Frank has already met the incompetent Emperor three in a row. I'm sick of the Emperor himself. ”

Realistically, it was also a problem that there was no noble enough to serve as an emperor.

How meticulously Queen Henrietta destroyed the wasteland, not to mention the bastards. Even the royal family that followed the bloodline was slaughtered. This is why there was no family to claim the throne.

Of course, it takes a lot of family members to keep track of their genealogy... Even though they were weak, they were too weak.

Of course. The reason they survived was because Henrietta ignored, "You don't have to trample them." For example, the son-in-law of the daughter of the bastard of the fourth son in the concubine room of the emperor seven generations ago…… was the same. That's something. The story doesn't form.

“The person with the greatest authority in this situation is Hwang Tai Lung. ”

Huang Tai Hu was the only member of the Huang family and kept dignity and pride throughout the civil war. When the emperor ordered the massacre, the Empress ran to the palace in her pajamas, crying and pleading, "Please protect the people." For such a Queen Dowager, Shinmin admired her.

“And Empress Hwang is fiercely supportive of Earl Bercy's policies. The Legal Prize is a gamble that has a high chance of winning. Well, the Southern cities didn't participate in the end.... ”

Here's the second test.

Especially Daisy. Don't let me down. You have declared that you will kill me with such confidence. Even if I don't pass this test, I can't kill myself.

At least you'll have to show your political superiority over Elizabeth. If that's even possible for you.

“As you know, the nobles of the south of Frank are rebelling against the Versi Legal Court. Refused to join the new government. Thanks to this, we have an independence. ”

The problem is that in return for autonomy, there was no benefit to freeing slaves.

The slaves of the Habsburg Empire and the Magic Cube have been freed. They returned home without any conditions. However, it has been excluded from these benefits in the south without officially participating in the Frank administration.

As a result, there was a commotion in Sardinia's territory, occupied by the Southern nobles in the last war.

The Sardinians were enslaved by their families and neighbors in the war. Of course, I cheered for the news that my family and neighbors might return. In that atmosphere, the Southern nobles drenched the cold water.

Give me back my family.Let the villagers return. Sardinians protested against the nobles shouting such slogans.

But during the protest, three of Sardinian representatives were assassinated.

The unsub remains unknown, but the Sardinians are furious at the work of the Franks nobles without seeing it. Otherwise, he was complaining about foreign rule. The Sardinians rebelled in an instant....

It's very sophisticated. Why were three representatives of Sardinia assassinated in that time?

Then, incidentally, once Jeremy and the assassins under my command disappear for a short time, there will probably never be a day when the truth will be revealed.

“And this letter. ”

I picked up the letter and sent it out.

“The Southern aristocrats feel limited in self-repelling the rebellion. I rebelled against the government just moments ago, and now I can't even ask for help. Eventually, I asked for military assistance from the actual owner of Duke Farnese. ”

I looked at Luke first.

“Luke. What should we do?" Should we accept the nobles' request and suppress the rebellion? Or we could just sit back and watch. ”

“Of course I have to take Sardinian's side. ”

This time, Luke was speechless.

“Sardinians are now unreasonably ruled by foreigners. I think it's a legitimate rebellion. I think it's right to lend them generous aid so they can be independent and enjoy themselves. ”

“Hmm."

I nodded.

As expected, Luke was a fool. There was no answer.

“Daisy, what do you think? ”

“We must stop the rebellion. ”

“Daisy……! ”

Luke looks at Daisy in surprise. But Daisy doesn't make eye contact with Luke.

“If your father moves his army here, you will be overly vigilant. You've already studied enough and more in the last war. It was less than a year after the war. But if you run again, the other Queen Dowager will doubt your intentions. ”

“So it's better to watch? ”

“Sardinians don't matter to us anyway. ”

Luke is shocked by Daisy's assertive answer. No way, he muttered.

I smiled and gave Luke a toast.

“I'd like to have a moment alone with Daisy. Luke, would you step aside, please? ”

“…… Yes, Master. ”

Luke crouches down and leaves the office.

I wiped the smile off my face as soon as I saw the door closed. I said chilly.

“Take off your top and turn around. ”

“ ……. ”

Daisy took off her clothes quietly and gave me her back.

I pulled the whip out of the office drawer. It was a whip made of leather. I hesitated to whip Daisy's back.

“Phew……! ”

Daisy lets out a slight bend in her torso as she lets out a groan.

“Stupid thing. What if Sardinia really succeeded in the rebellion after watching it like that? Isn't it useless to shed blood and succeed in a war? That's the answer I squeezed out of your head! ”

You grind, and dig out the flesh of the whip daisy.

“If we cannot move our armies, we must move Brittany's armies! The Brittany army doesn't seem to have a bad impression anymore. Can't you even think of something like this? ”

“But…… if the national enemy of Brittany goes berserk, this time the people of the south of Frank will complain……. ”

“That's why we need to use the Brittany army even more! ”

I lashed him a third time without hesitation. Daisy couldn't take the groaning this time.

“Sardinians are Sardinians, and Franks are Franks! After all, the Southern aristocrats lose their authority. Versie's legal authority, on the other hand, will grow stronger. ”

I swung my last arm and threw it on the floor of the room for the whip. Daisy is trembling with sudden shock.

“You're full of words. You don't have much practical insight. How can I expect you? Idiot. Get lost. ”

“…… Yes, Father. ”

Daisy takes the top with a trembling hand. Then he bows down to me and leaves the office.

“Phew……. ”

I took my pipe out of my arms, lit it on fire, and took a sip.

That's how you kill someone. Daisy is still a long way away.
