Hero without Blood or Tear

The tumultuous commotion calms down, guided by the acolyte to a quiet room. It was decorated as if it was a welcoming room unlike anywhere else in the palace.

“The erl will be here in a moment. ”

How long have you waited for the acolyte to leave?

Knock, knock. Knock.

You hear a knock.

“Hmm?"

Of course I thought it was Valpurgis, but it wasn't. Valpurgis would have thumped at the tree door with a gauntlet. However, beating lightly with bare hands is like a nobleman's virtuous lady.

“Come in.”

Is someone here to tell me Valpurgis is running late? I thought about it and drank tea. I saw the person who came into the room and breathed.

“Phew!”

And then she goes into shock.

“Wrap it up! Are you okay?! ”

I quickly take out a handkerchief and wipe my mouth. It is a kind gesture, like a spring breeze.

But nevertheless.

I couldn't hide my crazy feelings.

“Earl Niederbayer. ”

“Hmm? Why do you call me that? ”

“What woman wears a dress and a helmet? ”

Now Valpurgis shows up dressed in a pretty dress, and he's wearing a metal helmet on his head. It seemed like he was cool to hold the pose around for no reason. It was the first time I've ever dressed like this.

“Doesn't it suit you? ”

Now I can see that I care a lot. I was quite surprised, but I wore bracelets and other accessories. It was all cute stuff for a girl.

I have never seen Valpurgis like this, even after all the last 100 years. For her, such accessories were all things like a family seal, a ring or a necklace that proved her identity.

“No, it's cute. ”

“Really!”

I'm not an idiot and I know it. Why did Valpurgis show up dressed like that?

Well, that's all well and good... If it wasn't for that helmet, it would be perfect. I don't know what to do. Let's be thankful she stepped into the unknown in her own way.

“Great for dresses with lots of ribbons. ”

I say she relieves with her hands on her chest.

“I see... I'm glad. I didn't think ribbons were right for her. I'm glad I wore my courage and said I look good on you. ”

A genuine dress with little exposure. It was different from the breasts that nowadays the nobleman's spirits enjoyed. Old school, I guess.

“A mother's dress. Luckily, my body type was the same, so I could wear it as it is. ”

It seemed like a meaningful dress to her.

“Thank you for showing me. ”

“Oh, no! I showed it to you because it was special... ”

“It doesn't mean anything, but you just showed it to me, right? ”

“Well, that's true... ”

I just realized one thing. It was surprisingly pleasant to make her blurry with words. I've always wanted to hang out with Valpurgis, but I have something important to do today.

“I hear you're in trouble. ”

“Is that what you're here for? ”

She sighs lightly. The situation seems to be very frustrating. It's a situation involving powerful people.

“Balor, don't get me wrong, listen. I appreciate your loyalty, but this time.... ”

“You can. ”

The words he said to be considerate of me were cut off decisively.

“Apply…. ”

“We know that the Emperor and Pre-Elect intervened. But my answer is the same. You can fix this problem. ”

This was never a bluff.

“Really?"

“Yes. Is the emperor in trouble?" I also solved the problem of the Dark Army. Compared to that, emperors are nothing. ”

I knew that even though I said this, politics can be much more difficult sometimes. But Valpurgis trusted me.

“If you say so. If you can wear it, you can do it. ”

I can't believe you jumped to conclusions like this. This trust made me feel strange.

“Lord Valpurgis. ”

“Huh?"

“Isn't it normal to speculate more about why this is possible? ”

“Well... is that normal? ”

Valpurgis tilts his head slightly.

“What a strange thing to say. Since you said you could do it, she just said yes. ”

“As expected, you're a freak. ”

“... Hehe. Aren't you the weirdest person who came after you to help even though you knew what was going on? ”

I don't have anything to say to you like that.

“I heard it all from Margareta, but I'd still like to hear it from the party again. ”

“Of course.”

Valpurgis nods, putting a straw through the breath of a cotton ball, drinks the tea, and goes into the explanation.

The story was simple and complicated.

Niederbayer, her territory, has a city called Fasau. Famous for producing blades, the blade with the ‘running wolf’ mark of Pasao was famous not only for the empire, but also for foreign countries.

Even popular with the Demon Prince, a large number of specimens produced in Paso three months ago were sold as Roseland under the rule of Roelin.

“The Ignis Merchant Guild was in charge of the sale. A Consignment Merchant Guild made by the swordsmen of Pasao. ”

But the money from the sale isn't paid right away.

“Ignis' merchants were staying in Roseland and returning to Pasao with a load of money and trade goods purchased from Roseland a month ago. There were 12 wagons in total. ”

“And that's what the Knights raided? ”

“That's right. The Lighter Knights. Dirty bastards.”

The procession was attacked on its way through Salzburg, leaving Roseland. But here's the problem. Since the Emperor issued a blockade order two months ago, this deal was made before the blockade order.

However, the payment was made only after the blocking order. Of course, there was a problem with whether the ordinance could be applied retroactively.

“What a civilization-less bomber. A bunch of knights raiding merchants in an empire and looting them. That's why the Ignis Merchant Guild has asked Maine for help. ”

She would have intervened immediately. There is no way that Valpurgis would let up because of his surrounding family.

But here's another problem. As Valpurgis tried to pressure the Knights of the Leiter family, Archbishop Salzburg stepped in as an excuse. That's what happened in his front yard.

“Archbishop Salzburg is one of the representatives of the royal family. That's why I'm siding with the Writers. Currently confiscated goods are in the Salzburg court. It has become the official seizure of the Empire. ”

“Is that why you asked Aunt Bavaria for help? ”

This time, Valpurgis called for his uncle after a counterattack. With the majestic Bavaria advance, the situation again rises toward Valpurgis. But that wasn't the end of it.

“Those bastards have spoken to the Emperor now. ”

Typical, children's fights become adult fights.

I got into the emperor. Eventually, Bavaria and the Emperor growled. But the Emperor had one more card left.

“However, a preeminent wife, who saw what happened in English, stepped in and stood beside the Emperor. ”

One more preliminary posture that remained still broke in. It was John Georg, a preeminent member of Sachsen's order above Bavaria. Eventually, the balance of power shifted back that way.

That's why Valpurgis is now being forced to make an unreasonable agreement. As her, it was a real pain in the ass.

“These are muggers. In the name of agreement, I intend to devour all the money and goods of the Ignis Merchant Guild. ”

Thus, Valpurgis sent an SOS to the Demon King Roelin, and the situation was too high for Roelin. The situation is spreading like snowballs rolling down a mountain.

Let's organize it like this.

Emperor VS Bavaria Pre-Election

After Sachsen, after Niederbayer, after Sachsen,

Archbishop Roseland of Salzburg

As much as Ignis of the Writers.

It's a 4: 4 big match.

Empire's attention will be drawn to it. There were much more nobles who intervened indirectly with the support statement, even if only the founding class representatives were recognized.

“Weekly newspapers and pamphlets covering this news are popular in the Empire. Everyone was excited. ”

“That's good enough. If you do this wrong, something may happen that you don't even want to imagine. ”

It's not unusual for the Great War to erupt five years early. In the beginning, the Great War did not originate from human VS Horse conflict.

It was a matter of power. We fought over who owned the crown. The days of man and the Maw when they fought over ideology and ethnic conflict had already ended hundreds of years ago. Life was important to the Empire, and even more important was power.

If this were a simple game to defeat the Demon King in the first place, you would have seen the happy ending.

“That's right. This is politically very complicated. It's like the wick is burning towards the powder closet. Balor, if you're going to do something, you have to move carefully. ”

Honestly, even the best imitators are hard to devise in this chaotic situation. But I'm different.

This episode was unfamiliar, but there was nothing that could not be solved.

We need to think about the secrets of the people participating in the match now and the scenarios that happened in the past at this time.

“Lord Valpurgis. ”

“Yes.”

“Don't be afraid of this fight. Don't worry.”

I can assure you she was quite impressed.

“I'm so relieved to say that. To be honest, I was discouraged before you arrived. I'm confident in fighting with a sword, but it's hard to fight like this. ”

I grabbed her pretty hand. Valpurgis flinches as he holds his bare hands, not his Gauntlet hands. I wiggled my finger a little, but I didn't pull it out.

“I'll make you a promise here. There are two of us here who are going to win this fight. ”

“Is that true? ”

“Trust me. I'll make it happen. ”

“I see.”

Valpurgis replies and grabs my hand. Warmth. Maybe trust is transmitted through the warmth of the palm of the hand.

“From now on, I will fully assist you. Tell me everything you need. What can the Maiden do? ”

“First, show that Lord Valpurgis is willing to agree as much as possible. You just have to act like you want to take their demands and wrap things up. ”

“Stall time? ”

Pretending is perfect. In the past, Valpurgis was my best imaginary hero. My hands and feet already fit so well, I'm looking forward to a fight with her.

“That's right. That's why I keep putting Chillfile on hold, pretending to grant their demands." If you decide to sue Bondi, you can make it go away. ”

“That's confident. I hired a bunch of good lawyers to do this. They are not pushed anywhere with legal technology. ”

“Excellent. Buy me some time and I'll take care of things one by one." ”

“What are you going to do? ”

No matter how complicated things may be, the solution is surprisingly simple, as long as you know the nature. This is typically the case now.

If we let them go one by one, it will end with no room for any of the Emperor Zhejejejejuani's men to intervene.

“At this point, it's important to understand the source of the problem. ”

“Um... You mean the Lighter Knights? ”

“That's right. Isn't this a little strange? Even though the Napho Cotton is a chaotic Knight family, it's strange to even touch a deal that ended before the blockade order. It was even a merchant guild that came back with only money. It's quite a swarm. ”

Valpurgis strokes the jaw of the helmet with his bare hands.

“That's definitely weird. Even though the Lighters are Unsullied, if you mess with the Ignis Merchant Guild, the Mainland won't stand for it... ”

In short, it was also quite an adventure for the Writers. Moreover, even if this is done well, nothing good can come of it in the long run.

Why? Because Valpurgis is pre-Bavaria of the future. If the heir to the great Bavarian inheritance sees them with an eye of hatred, will he come to sleep at night?

Even the famous Muga is just a knight family after all. Pre-elective coughs fly away.

In other words, the Writer family was quite overwhelmed by something. I pointed out that and asked Valpurgis.

“Why did they have a herd? The clue to this case is there. ”

“Balor, do you know that, then? ”

I nodded.

“Of course, Lord Valpurgis. ”

I promise you, in three months' time, I will have the Writers' household at your feet on their knees.

I'm not just kneeling.

I'm going to make you grow like a dog.
