Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

The Royal Palace in the King's Capital has a room called 'Prince Richard's Dance Hall'.

Because it's a room where people dance intensely and play music on a number of instruments, it's sturdy so that no sound leaks… The floor of that room, which is specially built, is filled with luxurious embroidered thick carpets, and what a luxurious gemstone mix of decorations you can see here and there if you look at the walls on all sides.

There is only one door in that dance hall that deserves precisely the word "luxurious" so that no one can get in the way of innocence... in front of that door are always guarded by Richard's immediate escorts... only the very few in the royal palace who have been able to see directly with their own eyes what is going on inside the dance hall.

I've never seen what's going on inside, but the people who are hearing about its existence despise and spirally laugh at Richard, who passes into such a dance hall as he does every day... I don't even care how Richard said he blows wind anywhere like that at the time, and he's still taking to the dance hall today.

Beautiful silver hair long enough on the neck, cool, sharp silver eyes...... and clear white skin beautiful young Richard opens the door as he takes some escorts and squires and steps into the dance hall...... the dance hall, which was wrapped in hustle and bustle as soon as possible, calms down.

In the dance hall were nobles of young age, dressed in fancy clothes… they were commonly known as the First Prince Faction.

Each of those aristocrats had a variety of documents in their hands... and the hustle and bustle until earlier was a conversation about what was written in those documents.

Kingdom… In the eyes of the nobles who were raving about the military junta, agriculture, finances, etc. of the Kingdom of San Selife with one hand… there is a definite strong will to manage to rebuild a country that is being destroyed by the hands of a good but foolish king and the bureaucrats who flock to such a king and devour profits.

"Whoever was letting him dive under Deane returned with information about Deane's trends.

Apparently, that fool raided the King's tomb. "

Richard's words about getting into the dance hall make the air in the dance hall squirm all at once.

No, I haven't uttered a word as a single person, but the anger and killing of the nobles mix, and such air makes me illuminate as if inside the dancehall were being bothered.

In that air, Richard gave instructions with one hand up, and one of the escorts on his side let him dive in where Richard said he was... began to jealously report the information that Prinesia had brought home, about Deane's whereabouts.

That's how the stirring in the dancehall gets even bigger with Deane revealing what he did... and finally some nobles start leaking words without stopping.

How should we deal with this situation and how should the First Prince Faction move?

How can it be in the interest of the kingdom's First Prince faction?

Different opinions are exchanged among the nobles as to what punishment should be imposed on Deane, who has committed a great crime… etc.

Without reacting to such a commotion, Richard takes off his coat, which he is allowed to wear only to the royal family, and deposits it with a nearby squire.

That's how Richard became plain looking unsuitable for a flashy dance hall called a black vest on a white shirt and black trousers, slowly lowering his hips in a slightly reclining manner into a boneless chair brought from the corner of the room by one of his squire.

That's how he exhaled one. Richard slowly opens his mouth.

"I don't need any help on this one.

I don't think I can make it now, even if I want to pursue it.

... even if we make it, we risk getting bowled up with Diaz "

The aristocrats, who had stopped speaking as Richard lowered his back to the chair, gathered to its side, and had his posture corrected and aligned, began to marvel and bewildered at Richard's words.

As perplexity spreads to the nobles that way, one nobleman speaks up to Richard.

"... does that decision have anything to do with that order, previously made by His Highness, never involving Diaz, no matter what?

"... right.

I'm sure you don't know Diaz... but you deserve to be called a rabid dog who bites without asking who he is.

If Deane were to try to get involved with that mad dog...... he would definitely be bitten and take considerable pains. I wish it was painful, but I might lose my life.

... it's stupid to go out of your way to get close to such a mad dog and risk it. "

That's what the nobleman says... he seems to manage to swallow Richard's words into the bottom of his belly like that, but he looks blatantly sinister at the bottom of his heart if he's not convinced.

One of Richard's escorts who saw such aristocracy...... an old knight who had refrained at the rear exhales one sigh before speaking to Richard.

"… Your Highness, why don't you tell young people a specific story about Diaz's work?

From the stranger's point of view, Diaz is a hero of salvation. Just don't get involved... just try to convince me if it's hard. "

"... then you talk to him.

You'd know a lot about me. "

Richard told me that. I understand the old knight, nodding... advancing to the side of the chair where Richard sits.

"... I'll ask you all first before I explain, how much information do you have about a man named Diaz?

In response to that question of the old knight, the nobles begin to leak information that each of them knows.

Diaz, a hero of salvation from an orphan. Diaz feared by the blood axe and the enemy country.

Diaz is accused of being on the side of civilians. I like people for what reason, and Diaz is called by two names: no balls.

Because he has never been out on the battlefield, or because he has never seen Diaz in person... the old knight sighs inside and opens his mouth to those information that he has just heard rumors about.

"... so that's right.

Why did Diaz call you a favorite... do you know where that came from?

Not a single one answered that word of an old knight.

If you want to find out, you can find out...... and the old knight starts talking with that in mind.

During the war, a royal fate had been issued to thoroughly plunder all enemy citizens in order to kill them when they occupied the enemy lands.

This was an order by several cities in the Kingdom of San Serife aimed at retaliation for looting, massacre at the hands of the enemy... Diaz did not harm the enemy people once or only once during the war.

Whether it was with the Royal Army or starting to act separately from the Royal Army... even after I was in a position to put the volunteers together, I did not commit any slaughter or looting, nor did I let the volunteers led by Diaz.

Hence your favorite Diaz.

One question after another is raised by the nobles in the description of these old knights.

Why hasn't Diaz been punished against his royal life?

Don't do what you have to think strategically, isn't that more of an act called a war criminal than a hero of salvation?

Don't loot in the first place. How did Diaz get food for all the volunteers?

to those questions. The old knight,

"His Majesty himself, who was nobody else when it came to royal fate, had shown tolerance, so no punishment would be imposed.

As for their opinions with war criminals, they still existed at the time... they are an amateur group that brought civilians together in the first place, so no matter how they move like that, even if they ignore orders, that can't shake the conceived grand strategy of the aristocrats...

And in terms of food… Diaz was in the occupied territories, getting it in ways other than pillaging "

And I'm going to answer.

In the first place, during the war, the volunteers were not provided with any food from the Kingdom.

If you want to fight for your country, I will train you to the extent that you can handle weapons normally, and I will give you some weapons.

After that, fight as you please, and die for your country... was the stance of the kingdom against the volunteers at the time.

So much so... the kingdom was being hunted down so much that there was no food to divide it into volunteers.

Under these circumstances, Diaz was hunting the beast during the war and gaining its flesh, in addition to... hunting monsters and bandits, or by doing various labors, beginning with farming, in consideration of which he had received food from the enemy people of the occupied territories...

"... as a result, those actions of Diaz have benefited the kingdom.

The battle has been prolonged longer than the aristocrats had assumed...... 20 years.

In the meantime, we were able to obtain considerable food as tax revenue from the villages that Diaz and the others occupied and managed….

After the war, those villages that became the kingdom's territory favored the kingdom, and it is thanks to Diaz that governance is progressing without problems. "

Once the old knight rests his mouth with those words... the nobles follow him with all sorts of questions and surprise words in their mouths.

For a little while the old knights watching such aristocrats open their mouths to begin the next explanation without leaving the aristocrats untouched.

"Next, it comes from the fact that there are no balls… As for this one, it comes from the kind of incident that you can talk about, so you won't even have to ask.

In the first place, Diaz without balls is a mistake, and Diaz without balls is right. "

The Royal Army has a unit called the Young-Ying Unit.

This unit is intended for battlefield sightseeing and brings together only those who want to go out on the battlefield and foil and make war work, focusing on the noble children.

Such a young Ying unit caused minor problems at some point during the war.

In a village in a kingdom as close to the battlefield... the Young-Ying troops looted and abused their own people on their territory... a minor problem.

Diaz, who was nearby by chance, immediately rushed to the scene when he heard of such problematic behavior caused by certain noble descendants who had joined the Young-Ying forces because they really wanted to try looting on the battlefield.

That's how Diaz beat up and tied up not one of the noble children who had participated in the atrocities... and asked him why the hell he had done this, and crushed the children who replied because the village daughter he happened to see was beautiful... with all his strength.

Diaz, who is therefore sentenced without balls.

Fortunately, those who learned the magic of recovery were nearby, so the children did not lose their lives… but the treatment could not be said to have been perfected, and the children still suffered from the after-effects of that time.

"Ma... wait, wait, wait.

What the hell is that story!?

Why hasn't the Royal Palace trial been held? Why is Diaz's neck still connected!?

One of the nobles shouts out at the content of a hell of a story.

but...... the old knight would have expected to be reacted that way, reciprocating its shouts with a cool face.

"Naturally, investigators were immediately dispatched to the site by the Royal Palace.

At the hands of the investigator, Diaz was captured and brought to trial at the Royal Palace.

But when the Royal Palace trial opened, various people... for example, the Knights Commander began to raise their voices to protect Diaz.

We can't afford to lose so much power in this war situation.

The other Duke of Thurshus, the lord of the land where the incident took place, also began to shelter Diaz.

That Diaz's deeds were done under justice... "

The dance hall, which was in the midst of a little confusion, becomes even more noisy with such words of an old knight.

"... that's how Diaz's remarks heard out by the investigators became toddling as his younger siblings got in a bad position.

My parents taught me that nobility is a special born people who exist to protect their country.

Then there is no way those idiots (Diaz) beat themselves up and stepped on could be aristocrats.

There was no nobility there as one......

His Majesty greatly admired Diaz when he heard this, saying that he did the absolute right thing as a king citizen... and that he spoke in public before the trial opened. "

When trying serious cases such as those involving nobility, a royal court trial is to be held in the royal palace.

Open in the name of the king, the king will judge, the court of the royal palace.

The act of that king publicly declaring Diaz's words right was tantamount to giving the earliest verdict.

If it is the men who have been harmed, there is no reason to undermine the mood of the kings and knights because of the untimely demise of the fools who have not... Furthermore, it is not only the fools who may be tired of their position if Diaz's statement is certified to be correct in a trial that has been decided since before the beginning.

The victim's parents, who thought so, made a policy of deciding that there would have been no incident per se.

That's how the Royal Palace trial will not be opened. The case will be closed, and those who know the details will remain in part... but the rumor sparks will continue to smoke from the content of too many cases... As a result, rumors have spread in a half-way form with no balls, Diaz, etc., with those words the old knight finishes his explanation.

"... I can say that this case has also benefited the Kingdom.

Because the idiot aristocrats were punished accordingly, and the houses that raised such idiots were also damaged accordingly.

If you say that the house is now part of Meiser's … Second Prince faction, you can imagine what it was like "

When Richard opens his mouth so in a way that follows the old knight, the nobles who were bothering him quietly back at the same time... and nod, indicating their agreement with Richard's words.

"... but that's not the problem.

It wasn't that there was a profit... the problem is that Diaz is a man who doesn't obey his royal fate and doesn't even think of nobility as a nobleman.

Diaz had various other problems during the war, but was blessed with luck every time as he did with what was going on and hasn't been punished in a punitive way at one time.

No punishment, no reflection... If I wanted to, I wouldn't even drop my father's neck instead of my neck without hesitation Mad Dog... that's the guy named Diaz.

Never get involved with me, never come near me, never get my hands on anything. "

The nobles take Richard's word for it like that... and they are surprised as they look at each other.

And it's a bunch of questionable voices that leak out of that mouth.

One of the aristocrats, who used to exchange words that way, moves forward and speaks up in such a way as a snack.

"With all due respect, Your Highness.

Sure, Diaz seems to be a man who doesn't know the reason... but from what I've heard, I don't think he's even the kind of man to say it so badly.

Just because you're a civilian and a short-handed fool, wouldn't you raise your hand to the royal family, etc., and greatly do that, not turn it into a boulder?

Again, we, Deane... crusade for you... "

"Diaz has actually done harm to the royalty... but knowing that won't change that opinion?

When Richard says so in a way that blocks the words of the nobility, the inside of the dance hall calms down again.

Unlike earlier this time, not only will it be quiet... but the air of the field will cool down so much that it will be illusory as if it were in the middle of winter, and blood will be lost from the expression of the nobles at once.

As such, the nobles were silent without being able to utter a word as one.
