Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

in the outer courtroom meeting room filled with gloomy air.

Several men and women, dressed in fine clothing, sit around a rectangular desk placed in the center of the conference room, exchanging various words.

A long war and... just a defeat I never expected.

With such a daunting challenge of rebuilding an empire that is being swayed by them, even today, the imperial court ministers were breathing out a dark sigh.

"- Is this the end of today's agenda?

And, with such a word from the Speaker, the usual meeting was about to come to an end… one court minister raises his voice.

"... oh, I have one report from mine.

The insiders of the Kingdom of San Selife have been making strange noises lately... especially the second prince, the Meiser faction, who asked me to help them and lend them some money.

He wants that revenge because everything hurts that Diaz or something.

... Well, what is it?

Each of the participants in the meeting sighs loudly at such words of the chief of defense.

... That's how one of us sighs back words to the chief of defense.

"If they discover that they were making too much noise and that we were supporting the insiders, etc... they could shake up the fist that Sancerife lowered again. Finish it now."

"That's one hand... but I thought it was one hand to use them to harm Diaz.... it shouldn't be too late for the tipper to finish.

Diaz, of course, during the war, because he keeps getting hurt even after the war. Hey... what do you think?

"... is that you?

Are you talking about the civil unrest that you failed?

Instead of the Emperor's people giving you any ears for your work... you mean they've even been in the way of your work?

I'm not kidding, I want to snow the disgrace of the Defense Agency, but I think it's going to damage the Empire. "

Another voice interrupts such a conversation with the chief of defense from another direction.

"Oh, if that's the story, I heard it, too.

Everything from the hearts of the people to their loyalties to the Empire had disappeared beautifully and refreshingly because of the failure or something?

Without any looting, lay down good governance… and, on top of that, recommend marrying the kingdom soldiers.

If that goes on for more than a decade...... well - it will happen.

No, no, not at all... as a housekeeper, you make me want to compliment Diaz for being brilliant. "

I can't help but think that such a word of the Home Secretary raises first a no, then a yes... and then a sharp voice from a certain woman, who has hardly ever spoken before as the conference room grows noisy.

"... I see.

I was wondering why I and others had been called to this meeting, but was it to get me to agree to this nagging proposal?

... If I say it's to harm Lord Diaz, you think I agree?

"... oh, this says something unexpected.

Wasn't Diaz your father's - General's revenge...?

To such a word of the chief of defense against a woman, the woman grins and laughs cold...... what a delightful voice she exhales out of her mouth

"Yes, indeed, Lord Diaz is my father's vengeance.

... but Lord Diaz is my father's enemy and my great benefactor. "

A woman who was surprised by the words of such a woman and looked at the faces distorting her expression smiled contentedly and opened her tease.

"Due to the maneuvers played to His Majesty by your interior politicians and peepers, my father, as a samurai, has been forced into a situation in which he has to use many ugly traps.

Under those circumstances... my father was stuffy and suffering as if drowning in a poisonous swamp, even thinking about harming himself after the battle... it was Lord Diaz who saved my father from such a poisonous swamp "

Hearing women say that, the gaze that was inside the conference room converges on the chief of defence and the chief of the interior.

The woman continues her words as the two of them, with what a cool face, recieve those gazes.

"After breaking through this operation, I answered from the front, and I dared to step on all of it not to say that such traps or other warrior fights were unnecessary... a prestigious front breakthrough after stepping through without one left.

That's how I got under my father, Lord Diaz, he didn't accuse my father, he didn't have a single grudge, he met with my father in dignity... and that's how he gave my father an honorable death as a samurai.

The satisfying death face beauty of my father and the glowing smile of Lord Diaz with that battle axe entrusted to me by my father...... I still can't forget it.

I only feel grateful for the great benefactor. Harm on grounds of resentment, etc. … something else. "

That being said, the woman strokes a sword indicating the status of the emperor's direct subordinate general inherited from her father, then creates a cold look and throws up in a cold voice.

"Was that... an insider's meiserian? I'm guessing that Lord Diaz didn't hurt you anyway.

It won't do the Empire any good where I left them alive, and you just have to dispose of them.

As a general who will keep the army, I urge you to adopt this opinion. "

Seeing that the woman had finished the words so...... the chancellor told the secretary, by hand, 'not to leave them in the minutes except for the last statement', and the secretary simply obeys the instructions, without saying anything and showing any reaction.

That's how I see a silent visit to the conference room… one courtier who has previously refrained from speaking speaks up.

"As a diplomatic field, you like it. That's honest.

All we're watching right now is First Prince Richard, who will inherit the throne... and First Princess Isabel, who is doing whatever she wants in the former imperial territory.

Helena, the second princess who shows no movement at all. Deane, the lost third princess. And the Meiser... it's not what the Meisers learned.

... it would be easier if you could just sweep every meiser without the hassle or budget, haha "

"Don't be stupid.

Whatever it is, it's impossible to put it in the hands of the royal family.

I don't see how exciting that would be for Sancerife, assuming I could do it.

... I can tell you that it's so unique and so often diplomatic. "

In the wake of such statements, each of us starts to make statements in its own position, which develops into a debate… the meeting, which should have been coming to an end, is swallowed up by a chaotic air.

That is how, without reaching a conclusion at the meeting on this day, the conclusions on this matter were to be taken over to the next regular meeting.
