From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

< 145 Coins, Knives, Tongues, Poison and Slash (3) >

When I first received this letter, the ferryman had no intention of reading it himself.

“A message from Baron Vin Savenad, southeast of Sercado. ”

Everything that was sent as urgent news was mostly blinded by their interests.

There was only one thing in it that caught his attention a year.

“Savannah?”

The name resonates with one knight and the baron's throne, nothing else.

‘Chris Fraunmoont. ’

As soon as I heard the name Savannah, the fisherman licked his tongue with his lips.

So I got interested. Sabenad territory is adjacent to Fraunmund territory.

“There's a lot going on in Fraunmoont territory right now. ”

And the duc reached out his hand because the content of the letter was what he wanted.

“Dao.”

The servant bows his head and hands over the letter. The duc leans sideways on the chair, looking down with one hand at the letter.

There were a lot of useless rhetoric. It was a lot of fun to get rid of all that stuff and just press the contents.

‘Southern territories, rock salt, caste. ’

To date, it has been a letter listing what has happened in Fraunmund territory. And at the end of it was how dangerous Chris Fraunmutt was.

The Lord himself is a vice knight with the battle power of the Southern women, and those who follow him are knights of similar skill.

"Danger. Danger. ’

A smile appeared on the duc's face. His knight Rydos Ben, who just walked into his office, asks after seeing his face.

“Lord, what's so funny? ”

The duc saw his article and asked again.

“Suddenly what? ”

“You look more excited than you did the first time you fought me. ”

“Does it look like it? ”

“It seems so. ”

The duc folded a few letters directly into the envelope, dropped the candlestick and stamped it.

The family crest imprinted on the tiger's face was clearly stamped on the candlestick.

“Send this letter to Baron Savenad. ”

“Here comes the Marquis of Siegfried. ”

Lydos Ben said as he received the letter. I sent Weiss Knight a letter, but even the giver didn't care about such a trivial fact.

“Let's meet. ”

I felt good today. The duc was willing to accept anything messy.

What are you gonna do? Chris?

He asked.

Baron Savannah saw the collapse of the Count of Vantes and thought:

‘Territory wars are hard. ’

The opponent cannot be defeated by a frontal battle.

"How many knights have broken through the gates and put a knife in the Earl's face?" ’

The Baron Sabenad, who saw the power to process it, decided to ignore Baron Fraunmut.

I thought that land would be desolate anyway, and I'd have to open my hands to live on it.

Later, I heard that he left for the south. Soon he was told he had taken the Southern warrior and his Southern wife and made them his territories.

“Are you crazy? ”

Southern women are barbarians. Holding them in their arms was a shock to the robber with the sword.

Savannah desperately wanted his son, Chris Fraunmoont, to be ruined.

“The Southern woman said she defeated a group of Goblins and kept Dutch orders. ”

“The Southern woman started farming on Fraunmund Land. ”

“Floaters and Slums are gathering in Fraunmut territory. ”

“Rumor has it she's secretly selling rock salt. ”

What are you doing sneaking around? ’

When I found out, I was selling it openly. If he had wanted to hide it, he wouldn't have found it here.

Vin Savenad is full of stubble. I couldn't understand why that land was so big and so good.

‘Rock salt is luck. ’

Other than that, it was not luck. Rather than being jealous all the time, Baron Sabenad thought calmly.

"Why would I reject him? ’

The opposing Pokémon have a tremendous power to push them away with emotion.

‘Vise Knight. ’

He thought about it for a few days and wrote to the noble chieftain. I got a reply soon.

It was a quick reply without before. Savannah picked up a letter-knife and unsealed the tiger symbol and read the contents.

It was not a long story.

‘He is a member of the royal family. I'll let you deal with him if you can. ’

"If I could," it was like asking me to use as many methods as possible.

“Fetch the wine from Paltis. ”

Sabenad always drank an expensive glass of wine when making important decisions. For a while, it was a sign that I wouldn't even touch my mouth.

In front of him sits Gerald Savenad, his son and the vice knights of the land.

“What's the matter? ”

My son, who knows his habits, asked.

“Gerald.”

“Yes."

“How does a knife deal with an enemy that doesn't work? ”

“Hmm."

Gerald was not in a good head. Vin Sabnaad did not expect a great answer from him.

“If a sword doesn't work, you have to joke with your tongue. ”

Gerald nods and asks.

“What about someone who can't even speak with a sword or tongue? ”

“If your sword and tongue don't work, you can use poison. ”

Baron Savenad smiled and replied, holding the glass of wine for half a drink. Gerald emptied his cup.

“If the poison doesn't work, you stab the scaffolder in the back and draw your sword at the weary man with the blood." That's how this father survived. ”

Vin Savenad is not ashamed of his work. It was a way to keep the current territory.

Five gold coins in a bottle that day, the baron woke up in the morning with two bottles of wine, and went to the room where the sun was warming and picked up a pen.

A nobleman, but a nobleman of Sercado.

The first prince was the one he wrote to.

* * *

That's impressive.

I was impressed. I knew Lynd was good at his work, but I didn't know it was this good.

Of course, I had a lot of luck. Basically, it was for me to run the territory.

“At first, there were those who wanted tax breaks, and after word got out that anyone could use it as much as they needed it, talented people started coming. ”

Hearing Stryk's report, I nodded my head.

Where the power of the territory comes from, it comes from man soon.

As the territory grows, his hands play and Lynd doesn't intend to make fun of it. I needed money to feed them, so it was an inevitable choice.

“Sir Lynd Sonate wants to dig up a rock salt mine, and we're just getting started. I couldn't care less about security. ”

“It's okay. I didn't mean to hide it. ”

I cut the Zec steak while talking. I'm a pretty good cook myself, but this is really great.

A dish made by cold aged, seasoned and roasted veal.

I can do it, but I don't usually have a lot of hands.

“He is said to have learned to cook in the famous family of Palmun. I'm not a Sergado, I'm not a Palmer, but I'm a very good cook. ”

Lydia whispers right next to you. The commemoration of my return was a place where I could see my face and put everything together.

Well, not everyone.

Tequila refused, said she wasn't busy, said she didn't fit in, didn't show up, didn't know the sculptor, didn't show up.

Maybe it's a good thing you didn't come.

Shhh.

Lind, a millstone sharpener, sits at the end of the table, wondering if she learned from Jenryd.

Digo and Jen Reed were with Alice, Strick and Birch.

“Why are you sharpening your knife at dinner time? ”

The bird asks. I shake his head.

It meant don't ask. I have to be careful when I talk about Lynd's past.

I never thought I'd have this much grudge.

“No, look who it is. That's my squire. I thought I'd gone to Lady Agatha and never come back."

“…… Sorry. ”

Royse mutters. I look at him, blinking and exaggerating.

“No. Why don't you just get rid of the Squire and protect your sister?" ”

“A little.”

Lind mutters as he goes along with the knife. I heard it all, but I pretended no one heard it.

“I'm kidding. I'm kidding. ”

I cleared up the situation and looked around the left. Those who gathered here led the realm forward.

I looked around and called out to the centipede sage who snores and eats meat right next to me.

“Grape.”

“Yes."

He chops the meat, puts it in his mouth, swallows it while murmuring, and then answers.

“Is it good?”

“Yes, it's very good. ”

“Just recite three things you need right now in this territory. ”

The peaceful tone, such as biting the taste of meat, was a peaceful attitude, but the content was different.

“Weapons, rationale, people. If it's urgent, it's weapons and reason. ”

Grape said nothing. He sets down his fork and wipes his mouth with a napkin.

After seeing it, everyone was curious because it was a scary face to dream of.

“Weapons and justifications. ”

I muttered what he said.

How many people here understand what Grape is saying?

Grrr.

Rind stops the millstone he was sharpening.

“The Southern women have joined us, the men have gathered, but we're running out of weapons to use. But I don't even want to go to war right now, and I don't know why I need that. ”

Lynd understands.

“We need it to stop fighting. ”

Grafe replied.

Lind puts the sword in the sword at all, and puts the dishes out to the side. The market carrying the dish in front of him was wondering if he would remove the bowl. I didn't even touch it, so I wanted to take it and taste it.

“We shouldn't have such troops and weapons. ”

Lind insisted. He wasn't excited, he wasn't staring fiercely, and Lynd recited only the truth.

“We are members of the nobles of the royal family, and this land is also the royal burial ground. On the contrary, our troops are abundant in the minutes. In a situation like this, as soon as you prepare weapons and war supplies, you won't have anything to say about the name traitor. ”

“That's right. You'll see. So what you need is a second reason. ”

Oh, Grape, oh, Lynd.

They were both right. Lind thinks it's time for us to kill our breath. Now that I've developed my way to the Rock Mine, I think I'll be held back by the royal family or nobles.

You still have your innocence. My Lynd.

Are you just going to resist, you bastards? My stomach's gonna be sore by now.

Grape didn't actually go through a noble society, but just remembered what he saw and heard and chewed on it, he understood the situation and made another way.

“Do you think the royal family would allow that? ”

“It must be the Lord's job to get his permission. ”

When Lind saw the situation, she made her point not to overdo it. On the contrary, Grafe overlooks the audacity of risking his life and striking with his sword.

“Lord, is that impossible? ”

Grafe asked. Hey, if you ask me that in this situation, I don't look like much of a man.

Justification.

I understand that you need to be armed. I'm sure Lind doesn't understand that either.

The best way to combat war is by a strong and powerful knight.

If you have a reason, you can operate your territory with force.

That could create a more favorable situation.

“It's impossible for me to make excuses. ”

I opened my mouth. Half of them don't understand it, they're just staring at it, and Lind's face doesn't change.

There's something missing from the graffiti.

I don't need to make excuses.

I left the southerner in charge of the Rock Mine, and I am the Lord of the Territory, Weiss Knight.

I wonder if the nobles around me will be so gentle.

“I don't know if I should listen. ”

Duke Dutch said with an uneasy expression. The profit from the sale of salt came to discuss its size. I was just invited to dinner, and in the meantime I was talking about the big business of running the territory.

“Are you eager to get behind my back? ”

I smiled and asked. He also knew the meaning of the nobleman's words.

In my words, Grapefruit and Lind sparkled.

“We don't have a choice. ”

“How do I prepare? ”

Grapefruit and Lind said in turn.

In our territory, there are cases of Count Ventes, where the resellers are salty and the southerners are accepted as citizens.

To put it bluntly, I've brought some Viceroy Siegfried territory, but no one will trip over this.

What will happen if I meet the accidents I've been in and the nobles who envy me?

No one will try to defeat me with a sword. There weren't a lot of options for those with barrels around me.

“A message from the royal palace. ”

A soldier with a letter from outside said at a good time.

“I'm ready. ”

I narrowed it down so I couldn't hear it. It was natural for me to use my tongue if I don't get a knife.

Grafe and Lynd got the picture because they analogized the situation.

“If you won't eat it, I will. ”

Of course, I didn't understand the half of it. Jen Reed's appetite for Lynd's plate gave him an eyesore.

“When does it end? Fight with me. ”

Alice was eager to challenge me. I was caught up in a light expectation by the royal family's letter.

You must remove the rotten fruit at once. If there is any left, it will damage the flesh.

‘Who would have provoked it? ’

I was curious and received a letter from the royal family. The letter said exactly what I expected.
