Hero without Blood or Tear

The preparations have begun to leave for the Empire's capital, Vienna. It's just me and Philly, but Calliope is different.

She is a real princess with the most noble lineage of the Horsemen. Of course, I needed the proper quality and staff. But we didn't have any human resources, so Roelin rushed us.

“512 maids, bodyguards, horsemen, cooks, wizards, doctors, mongrels, horsemen, guns and more. ”

I shook my head in the report of the Hopgoblin vampire Kurak.

“What a march for a princess. Prepare without hesitation. ”

“I understand, Your Grace. ”

You leave all your troubles to Kurrak and open the status window to check. From now on, we must go to the capital of the Empire. I wanted to make sure everything was okay because I needed to be prepared.

Then I was curious. What would my achievement score be now? I had completely forgotten about it for a while, but I thought it would be okay to check it once.

No achievement scores had been raised in the past because I unchecked the notification. It was because it had already surpassed the top score of 7,923, which was already ranked second in the world.

Tiring!

I was amazed by the achievement scores.

“Ah……. ”

While I was not looking, I went up enormously.

4,512 million 2,120 points.

Even I, the top in the world rank, was surprised. It's not until the Great War. And yet, here I am! I was amazed to open my mouth and check the details.

* Callione, daughter of Caimars, was admitted. 1.5 million Achievement Points.

* Ranked third, the Demon Lord Odgash was defeated before the Great War. 15 million Achievement Points.

* I got the support of the one crouching in the grave. 3.5 million Achievement Points.

* I first discovered the love route of Valpurgis. 100,000 points.

In addition, many of the accomplishments I have accomplished have been written in subtext.

That's 4,512 million, 2,120 points.

My all-time high score is 54562 million points played as a humankind. But it seemed like more than a billion points would be possible if things were going the way they are now.

Besides, you're not just a warrior, you're a man with no blood, no tears. Hopefully this time, we'll be able to clear it.

Three days later we left. It took me ten days to get down the mountain first, then across Bells, Linz and Vin. Recently, this beautiful princess procession, full of talk, has attracted countless attention.

“I don't understand why everyone wants to see me like that. Lord.”

But I don't like the look of it.

“Of course not. I am curious because the poor story resounded and his beauty was the best in the empire. Ha! You're my servant, but you're so handsome! A slight head tilt is a lily, and a quiet smile is a tulip. ”

“…… It doesn't matter if you're flattered. ”

There's a reason I'm making a fuss right now. I was going to parade in Vienna in front of the citizens. Especially to show Callione's beauty, the wagons were set apart in all directions.

“Come on, get in that wagon. Your face is tactical. We should use it as much as we can."

“Is this another part of the diplomacy the Lord spoke of? ”

“Of course.”

I promised Callione in Vienna the basics of diplomacy. For some reason, Calliope doesn't look like much, but she nods.

“I'll follow you, if you say so. ”

“Good. Now put on a sales smile. ”

Callione hated it when I raised my finger to make her smile.

“Ugh! I'm not a woman who laughs and sells in bars! ”

“It's like that or this or the service industry. Come on, smile. ”

After being exhausted for a while, I only made an ideal smile.

“I don't like it, but I'll try my best to get started. Lord, but know this. ”

“What?”

“I don't need one million florins for this. I'm just asking because you want me to. ”

“I know. You are a very loyal servant. ”

When I was ready, I entered Vienna. Then the citizens poured in to see us like clouds. A procession of 500 people drew their attention.

Callione, who sits elegantly in the wagon and waves to cheering citizens, was overwhelmed. It was a princess who really looked like a painting.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“She's a princess!”

Constellations erupted from everywhere. The servants escorting the wagon scattered silver coins around. There was even more chaos in the area. I rode on ahead in the Philly. People noticed me hanging a cape on my fancy black armor.

“Who is this precious person? ”

“Perhaps Lord Valar was the one who defeated the Demon King! ”

“Then it is a gift worthy of that reputation! ”

Flattery erupted everywhere. It was more than I expected. The goal was to show my appreciation for the locals I wanted and to show my presence to the great leaders of the capital.

There were people to deal with before meeting the Emperor. Grand Chamberlain, Imperial Treasury, and Chairman of the Imperial Parliament. With the realities of this empire, they have the greatest influence on the Emperor's judgment.

Perhaps those three from the Writer family will find them one by one. As soon as the parade was over, I contacted King Seizure Kubalt.

- I have the information I need.

- Just sayin ', that's what overachievers do.

- The Lighter family needs information about the person they sent. And I want to know his pathway every day in Vienna.

- Um... 3,000 florins would be fine.

It was never as comfortable as it was with King Sebastian. I immediately heard from the Writers.

- His name is Gebhardt.

- You're her brother, right?

Oh, you know that, right?

In the past scenarios, there have been a number of times when I was a writer and a member of the writer family.

You know, a thorough family of fighters. Horses are actually mercenaries, but they used to sell land and property they acquired in the war to other nobles.

There are powerful knights in the family, and their mobilization skills are great, so they have declared a thromboembolic Feud victorious against several powerful cities.

Gebhardt is the right-hand man of the house.

Housewives have identified the importance of this and sent their most trusted men.

- Thank you for sharing important information.

- Their paths you want will be reported daily by our people. Well, here's the thing.

- What is it?

- Gebhardt brought in a very young swordsman this time. He says he's the last man in the Great Sword, and he's as real as he gets. I heard you're destroying multiple swordsmanship guilds in the capital.

The last one of the Great Sword? You must be the Guardian.

- Thank you for letting me know, Your Grace.

But diplomatic warfare comes first.

The next day, a report came right away that Gebhardt was meeting with the Grand Chamberlain today. So I put in a call to the Grand Chamberlain. Then an appointment was made two days later.

“Now, follow me. I'll teach you how to judge a diplomatic investigation differently than usual. ”

Callione turned into a young boy because of her outstanding appearance. It looked like a knight's squire.

The Grand Chamberlain's mansion was truly a spectacle of glamour. There was wealth everywhere. The Grand Chamberlain I met in the interview room was a man who looked like a toad. With a ring full of hands, he welcomed me with a smile.

“Welcome. Lord Balor, I've heard of your radiant mistress from afar. ”

“Thank you for welcoming me. Grand Chamberlain.”

“Here, have a seat. ”

I explained to him what I had prepared in advance. It was about moving the economic blockade to Antfelberg, not Roseland. However, the opposing Pokémon's reaction is dull. Callione then magically asks.

- Your opinion is perfectly reasonable, but why would he react like that?

- Listen, when you are diplomatic, you need to borrow a form of trade to drive negotiations. That is, we need to provide repairs.

Human diplomacy must not be rational.

- Didn't you see the gold painted all over the place?

I kept talking to the Grand Chamberlain.

“Grand Chamberlain, I heard there was a Gebhardt knight here two days ago. ”

“Ahem! How did you know? You're very bright in the news. ”

“If you don't mind me asking, could you hear what the conversation was like? ”

The Grand Chamberlain was not particularly offended by my straightforward question.

“We had an honest exchange of opinions. I'm tuning things up. ”

Calliope has expressed his concern.

- We were wrong to have an honest conversation.

I thought you said my diplomatic investigation wasn't what it used to be.

- What does that mean? Lord.

- Well, to be honest, we haven't come to an agreement yet. And if you're tuning in, you've got a chance to present the money.

How did that happen?

I told you to listen first.

“That's a concern. Lord Gebhardt would have cared. ”

I said, the Grand Chamberlain patted his beard and threw it.

“Well, if the conditions are right, then maybe they're meant for each other. ”

Callione's question came again.

- Lord, what does that even mean?

- It's ambiguous to listen to their demands. That's our cue.

- Ugh... It's still hard for me. But next time, let me guess.

- Fire away.

I expressed my concern that I was very sorry. Then the Grand Chamberlain insists on burying himself in a chair.

“But we had a fair agreement. I told Lord Geberhart I'd look into it. ”

Callione interferes again.

I get it now.

- I expect an answer.

- I mean, we had a pretty good deal, but we still got some money.

- You're right!

- Also, I'm going to review it, which means I'm going to think about it and make it a place where more money comes in.

- Brilliant!

I complimented a fast learner and then delivered the preparations to the Grand Chamberlain.

“Grand Chamberlain, I have always admired the way you strive to keep the empire safe. Please accept this small token of my loyalty. ”

“No, no, no, no. Not a chance. Take it back. ”

“Haha. That's not how people live. I have the full name, so open it. ”

When I smile and say it, the Grand Chamberlain, who looks like a toad, says without hiding the tail of his mouth that slithers up.

“Is that so? Well, just to open it. ”

Even with that, I couldn't keep my eyes off the heavy box I brought. And when the box opened, he couldn't hide the smile that spread just in case.

“Grand Chamberlain, 20,000 florins. Please write for the Empire. ”

The Grand Chamberlain was completely satisfied.

“Hmmm! If you leave it, I'll use it for the Empire. And I find your opinion quite reasonable. ”

“Thank you, Grand Chamberlain. ”

I said hello and magically asked Calliope.

- What does that last one mean?

- If I leave it, I'll use it for my comfort. And you paid more than a bunch of lighter bastards.

Callione, you are a proud pupil.

- By the way, it's easy to do work with Doubloons, huh?

- That's how life works.

- Somehow it feels empty. But some things can't even be bought with Doubloons, right?

- Our princess still doesn't know. It's not a gold coin, it's just a lack of money.

- Aha!

Callione admires you and says she'll remember what you taught her. A princess as pure as a blank sheet, 100% pure, was watering my snobbery.
