At the end of the winter, when the usual period of hell at the lord's residence came to an end, Micah and I went to King's Landing.

Mr Itsuki, acting lord, is on his way this time.

Work is still accumulating for spring, so please do your best.

Until the morning of the day he left the capital, Itsuki said, "One more day! Can you help me get out of here for one more day? He was crying, but unfortunately the lord who was a step above the acting lord said," I want to see Micah sooner. "

Mr Itsuki swallowed tears.

Besides, as Sir Georges and Mrs. Lynn appreciate, the young people of my generation and beyond are also growing up well.

It is rare for Mr Itsuki to get so busy as when I first arrived in the territorial capital.

Well, there was a Yasoga Datara problem this year, so it is a fact that the response work has been more troublesome than usual, both militarily and politically.

I want you to live strong. I think it is more convenient for me, so I think it is very strong at first glance.

When he arrived at the Sakura Border Mansion in King's Landing, the lord of the mansion was waiting for Micah in the lobby.

"Grandpa, you look alive!

"Micah! I missed you! Looks like you're doing great on this one!

For this clan, beating one of the rebel forces on a single horse seems to be a sign of vitality.

The breadth of the concept of vigor has spread about 50% in me.

For a while, my grandfather and grandson - not so much - hugged and adored my grandfather, then returned to the lord's face about 20% and looked at me.

"Ash also came a lot. I'm counting on my granddaughter's fiancée to do what she deserves."

It's an honor, my lord.

The word "sir" is very difficult to say, and I am troubled because I look at my grandfather.

I speak to the man who is waiting behind the Lord of the Mansion, lest his expression catch me and tell my grandfather.

"Long time no see. Have you changed, Arthur?"

"Ash"

The manly princess called my name to bite.

It seems that no more words will come out immediately, and my cheeks are upset and stuffed with words.

"Recently, traffic conditions in the border areas have improved considerably."

Such a fellow would tear me apart too.

"I am also asking the Vladimir of Squana to improve the transportation network... and it will be easier for me to come to King's Landing."

"Mm-hmm...!

If you look so happy, you have to try harder.

When she shakes hands for reunion, Miss Alicia strengthens herself to confirm the reality.

"This feels good, it's not a dream... I missed you, Ash."

"Me too. I just wanted to see you if I could just talk to you."

I smile bitterly while agreeing with Miss Alicia, whose tone is mixed with that of Arthur, because it is a Saccura Border Uncle's mansion with only a trusted family member.

"I apologize for the inconvenience."

Apologizing for getting help with the Yasoga Datara issue, Miss Alicia was filled with the emotion of reunion, with cold anger.

"It's no trouble at all. Now they're targeting Ash directly?

"Well, it seems that I was the target of the task force because of a mix of circumstances."

I don't think the Marquis d 'Atara, the mastermind, seemed to me to be the Lord's clan, or the confusion of the territory.

However, for Miss Alicia, the verdict seemed to have been handed down regardless of her feelings.

"I'll never forgive you for trying to hurt Ash."

It is a reliable word, but it is a testament to the thick friendship that the will of ultra-low temperatures, which is likely to produce diamond dust within the audible range, is it okay?

"You've been worried a lot, haven't you?

"Of course! I thought Ash was trying to kill me and my heart would stop! I never imagined Ash would die."

Yeah?

You were really worried about that.

In this case, I was unaware of the danger to my life...?

If I interrupt the conversation without being able to digest Miss Alicia's words well, Micah comes after her grandfather.

Micah is also delighted to be reunited with her best friend, but has a powerless smile that blends pride and relief.

"It's been a long time, I'm glad you're feeling well."

"Oh, it's Micah. You protected Ash? Thank you very much."

"Yeah, it's fine. I told you I'd protect your Ash."

"Yeah, really, thank you. This is the only thing I can ask of Micah."

"I'm here, so leave it to me. I'm counting on everything I can't do."

They hug each other with their arms around each other's backs, and hold each other's friendship, which is also a friendship accompanied by sincerity of action.

I didn't know there was such a promise between the two of us, but it was about women.

Since the junior high school days, there were many times when the two of us were moving around without me, so there must have been a lot of history.

"So, who targeted Ash?

"It's all taken care of. After all the help."

"Yes... I'm glad. The last part was helpful."

"I'm really glad. Don't waste the last time."

Giggle ufufu, the two of you whisper with a faint smile, a little horror of beautiful air.

It's not the type of monster that goes wild, it's the suspenseful one. I'm thrilled by the atmosphere that's going to entangle and nourish those who fall in love and approach.

As I watched the two of them, Uncle Frontier slapped me in the back and whispered.

"Don't get mad at a reliable woman, man."

Yeah, I'm so glad.

As soon as I answered, Uncle Border looked "er".

Huh?

Reunion greetings grew thicker, but I came to King's Landing to solve the Yasoga Datara problem.

I asked Arthur to come to Miss Alicia in disguise to hold the meeting today.

If I were to give a title to the meeting, would I be good at crushing them?

Since crushing is a definite matter, I have been asking the King's City to make adjustments since I was in the capital.

The meeting began by listening to the results of the coordination of the Wang Metropolitan Group.

The debriefing started with a rough lord, no matter what.

"First of all, there are no Territories that would like to join the Border Alliance, and we are on our side. It is possible that some informants to the Marquis of Datara are mixed up....."

Master Borderline leans his neck with a suspicious expression saying that the possibility is meaningful.

"Most of them didn't even show up at the Marquis d 'Atara's party before that. Don't worry about it.

"Most of the time, some of them were present, right?

"Mm-hmm. They were talking aloud about Marquis d 'Atara while drinking with me at the venue. Rhino."

"Oh, don't worry about it."

I didn't participate because I hated it, and I just told her that I hated it.

I hate the central aristocracy of the peripheral aristocracy. There must be so much dissatisfaction with the treatment.

At this rate, even if you are a whistleblower, it will be the purpose of the report that the elite "discussed like this".

If you put your shoulders on Datara more than that, your subsequent diplomatic relations will be terrible.

You may like it or not, but the neighbor of the border lord is the border lord. Neighborhood is important.

"And the Vicomte de Squinna, from behind, and the Baron of Nepton, from the front, are coordinating their respective interests. First of all, you can rest assured of the ground at your feet."

Rhino is known as a diplomat for her skill in coordinating the Border Alliance.

Both the coordinated actual mobilization and the Nepton Baron people seem to like alcohol, and they are told that this bone-breaking thank you is definitely in the direction of increasing the production of distilled liquor.

I don't mind.

Baron Nepton says the climate is mild in coastal areas.

I know they grow grapes, so I'd be happy if they could set up brandy and grappa plants.

Once you are in control as a border alliance, the next issue is your influence in King's Landing.

Miss Alicia, who is in charge of the area, said in Arthur's tone that it is now five fifths.

"I think it would be nice if I thought about it for a long time. The Marquis d 'Atara had more momentum in the royal family, so the central aristocracy was surprised that it held up to each other. The aristocrats on the border away from King's Landing are doing it, so it's clear which one is superior in ability."

The main reason why Marquis d 'Atara's power is falling surprisingly is because of a slump in economic power.

Even though it was clear from the situation that the Datara family was involved in the royal assassination, it seemed that they still had a large face in the King's City because they had made money say things.

If you try to complain, if the circulation is stopped, or if the major chambers of commerce are about to be crushed, it will have to shut your mouth.

Supporting the golden mantle of the House of Datara was the fact that it had kept under its umbrella chambers of commerce and territories with exclusive technology.

When I asked, the soap merchants and the Batuka Earl family of distilled liquor belonged to the Datara family.

It is a form of scattered gold to earn wealth and further increase wealth using a large metal-producing region earned by crushing werewolves.

Management style is correct, but it is not a good idea to increase the number of enemies too much.

Instead of giving the Datara family a cash advance, they used their arms to prevent technology leakage or threatened them with power when they were about to develop technology.

It's a mafia.

Apprentice Mr. Quid. It is well understood that the bigger you grow, the more humble you should be.

Moreover, the focus on exclusive technology and the failure to develop further technology are also reduced points.

Since it has always been rounded like a turtle with existing technology, there was no countermeasure at all when those monopolies collapsed.

Soap, distilled liquor, high-quality ink and paper, etc., were mostly done in the Sacramento neighborhood.

But as soon as the monopoly collapsed, it was definitely because of your usual attitude.

When it is sold in the middle, it should have a lot of money to pay for it to be transported from the border territory, but it is still possible to sell the products marked by the Ferrous Bird.

"So, it's amazing that they're mutually reinforcing, but if you're going to play a game, you want to secure an advantage of about 7.3, right?

Miss Alicia's confirmation is based on the ratio she learns in military basic education in Sakura Border Territories, so she nods together.

"In that case, you'd better do a little more rooting. Fortunately, there are people who are interested in Ash because they are my messengers and are interested in the Sacramento family..."

"All right, Ash, go."

Your Excellency gave the order before asking for it.

It's tyrannical. It's careless. Human rights disregard.

Well, I don't want to curse you that much, but I want you to listen to me for a bit before you judge.

That's what Miss Alicia thought, and she added it with a bitter smile.

"I'm sure you don't have to worry about it because it's originally a favorite place. I think it's easy for Ash to talk."

Were you in King's Landing?

"The opponent is a temple. The great priest of King's Landing wants to talk to Ash."

It certainly seems easy to talk about.

There were a few people I knew at the temple in King's Landing, and all the priests (including apprentices) I had met so far were wonderful personalities - but, well, they were just the right people to talk to.

Father Yae and Dr. Ruth.

However, the Grand Priest is the top position in the temple, right? Isn't it the culmination of the priesthood of the world when it comes to the great priests of King's City?

I'm scared of the boulders.
