Go up to the second floor of the building and be guided to the hall.
The hall was decorated with a calm atmosphere of wood walls and floors. There is a long table with about eight people sitting side by side in the middle, and three people sitting on the left and right and a man sitting behind them face to face.
As I entered the hall, everyone's faces turned towards us. [M]
"Mm, Baron Van! You're finally here!
Looking at my face, one of the deepest people stood up saying that. [M]
His Majesty King Dino en Zora Berlinate.
"I've simmered the procedure for the scudette attack, but if Sir is here, it's not the story. Once again, let's plan an operation that adds to the Baron's strength."
Saying so in a good mood, His Majesty invites. But the tough middle-aged men around look suspicious.
"... uh, excuse me. Ah, I'm a newcomer, thank you very much."
You'll be all right if you keep your hips down properly. With such a light feeling, I sat down at the long table. [M] Panamera lowers her hips with a smile on the chair to my right. [M]
And finally, Daddy passed by without expression and sat on an empty chair in the middle of a long table.
Looking lightly at everyone, His Majesty opens his mouth.
"Well, I would have asked the lord adjacent to King's Landing for help, but this time time time will be an important factor. The Knights of Fertilio, the Knights of the Border, the Knights of Ferdinate, the Knights of Venturi, the Viscount of Panamera and Baron Van, who are directly involved, shall assemble more than… and attack the Scudder. Do you have any objections?
When His Majesty told me so, a skinny middle-aged man looked at me anxiously. [M] Wearing fine, scratch-free armor with a windmill motif engraved on the shoulder.
I've never seen that before, but that's Count Ferdinate. Rumor has it, she looks unconfident.
Count Ferdinate said something for a moment, but eventually he lost sight of me without saying anything. [M]
Hmm. Doesn't that look like Alte before you got confident? Are you still a parent and child? The face itself is a slim but handsome men's face. Arte's beautiful girl is also very convincing.
With that in mind, the gray-haired majesty sitting opposite Altedadi raised his eyebrows and looked at this.
"... is Baron Van referring to that child?
And I was told that with a humble voice.
"Yes, my name is Van Ney Fertilo. I just became a baron the other day....."
The gray-haired man sharply sharpens his eyes as he laughs. Probably the Count of Venturi. Nice to meet you. So the rest is either with His Majesty or with the Knights.
"... Your Majesty, please stop making bad jokes. What can a child like this do....."
Looking back at what the Count of Venturi said, he looked at the sight of His Majesty, who smiled funny.
"Are you kidding me? Well, that's good. Everyone thinks so, but Baron Van's battle will change his mind. You should look forward to it."
To tell His Majesty in good mood, I raise my hand and open my mouth. [M]
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not going to participate in a scudder offensive."
Everyone's eyes became rounded when I told them that I couldn't attend the next company drinking party.
The eyes of Counts Venturi and Daddy were sharp and Count Ferdinate looked suspicious. Count Venturi turned his gaze from me to Daddy. [M]
"I want you to tell me what that means. If you take it as it is, isn't this a costume of my child's cuteness joining the fight?
When the Count of Venturi said so in a low voice, Daddy, who was shook up by the story, frowned between his eyebrows and stared back.
"... Sir, do you think I would do such an appeasement? I am bringing my eldest son, who is acting on my behalf, into battle. There's no point in pulling the last child back."
And he talks a lot of words.
His last son is a child under ten years old! Instead, oppose coming to the battlefield! More cute!
I had a lot to say, but I swallowed those words and put a smile on them instead.
"No, my father has nothing to do with it. I'm just worried about my territory."
That said, the eyes of Count Venturi and Daddy finally sharpened.
"It's a national defense crisis. If you blow it, you'll spare no effort to protect a small village like the flying one."
"Speaking of children, the field of view is too narrow. How much you defend your own small territory will make it even more difficult if your base is invaded by the Scudet. I want you to be aware of that."
Two angry uncles.
With that anger all around me, I nod with a light laugh. [M]
"I understand that much. On the contrary, do you two understand my position? [M] Aren't the two great aristocrats who emerged with an army in the midst of a national defense crisis imagining the situation of a lord struggling to defend a small village?
Van, you're angry. I'm really bumpy.
I meant to say something with such thoughts, but the two faces became steep to say something now.
But His Majesty will hold it.
"Hmm... if that's all you have to say, why don't you take part in this fight?"
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I cough, look around, and open my mouth. [M]
"Thank you very much. First of all, I assumed the role of lord over a truly small, almost crushing village. It happened that three knights and a retired butler, a maid and a slave boy, came with them, but there was no other assistance. Still working hard, I made the village bigger and stronger in about a year. Now I don't have any problems with food or clothing."
First of all, when I told you how it happened, everybody's eyes turned towards my Daddy. Daddy looks down on me at the top of the Buddha.
I went on explaining it horizontally.
"However, it is still a small village now. We're taking the Knights out of the village and hiring a lot of adventurers to come here. If my village were attacked by the kingdom of Yelinetta in that state, there would be no chance of winning."
And then he talks about an excuse like he put it on.
His Majesty and Panamera, who know the situation in the village, have a slightly bitter smile, but they don't have any other information to contest immediately.
That's how I tried to open my mouth, but Panamera questioned it.
"Why do you think Yelinetta might target Baron Van's territory...? Count Ferdinate's fortress is of strategic value. But you honestly don't think it's worth sending soldiers into the little village Baron Van says?
The question turned everyone's eyes towards us.
In response, he answers with the assumption that he does not leave the imaginary domain.
"... I embarked on a scudette strategy that I had been attacking for years, and in an instant I attacked. Wieburn is probably one of them, but the biggest reason is because he put black balls in his weapon. From the perspective of the Kingdom of Yelinetta, this is not the same as the skirmishes of the past. I can only imagine that you are quite prepared and confident to challenge me. If you really intend to crush the Kingdom of Scuderia, you will attack other important bases immediately, not just the Scudette. In order to do this, it is important not to let the cage castle take too long to attack."
When I said that, Panamera raised one eyebrow and roared.
"... I mean, the neighboring villages and towns that are used for supplies?
"Just make sure you don't use it too quickly. I mean, burn it out."
When I told them that, they looked up and shut up.
