Hero without Blood or Tear

Joining Giaccomo Albino gave me unmatched confidence. That's how desperate he was for someone with the extraordinary force to put him where he needed to be.

“Lord, where do you want to go? ”

Giacco Albino cleared the house that day and followed.

“We're going to Bastogne Fortress. ”

Bastogne was originally an ordinary city, but it was transformed into a fortified city after the ruins of nearby Luxembourg were destroyed by the Demon King Jacquere.

Earl Antoni, who ruled the Bastones, saw Luxembourg burn and turned his fortune into a super fortress.

“What business do you have? ”

“There's a key to resolving this. ”

In my words, Giaccomo Albino was very interested.

“The Lord said he would mediate the pre-war dispute between Jacquere the Fire Lord and Trier. So the solution is in Bastogne? ”

“That's right.”

The reason why the two giants quarreled is simple. Earl Antony, ruler of Bastogne, died without an heir. This caused a dispute over who owned the territory he ruled all his life.

Bastogne, Hoshfoch, Malmedi. These three places were once ruled by Earl Antoni. The nobles of the empire and the Demon King claimed their succession, the most powerful of which were Jacquere and Trier, the Demon Lords of Fire.

“I don't know what's going on before or after. Can you explain that to me?" Lord. ”

“Of course. Señor Capricorn. But we need to move on from that, roughly 20 years ago, when the Fire Lord Jacquere changed his attitude toward humans. ”

Originally, the Demon King Jacquere was a violent, hardheaded Demon King called the Luxembourg Massacre. Suddenly, for more than 20 years, he's been opening an emulsion book and absorbing humans into his territory.

“Senor Capitan. I think it's a classic positron tactic. He acted like a self-righteous man in the past, but over time he realized it was a loss. Now look at the Demon Kings of the Eastern Empire. Aren't we all rich together? ”

Unlike the western part of the Empire, which is dominated by hardened gangs, the eastern part of the empire was the garden of the Warehouse Demon King. In the eastern part of the empire, the Demon King and the Human Emperor's alliance had passed, and they were no longer able to live without each other. A typical example of that is the wealthy city of Pleasant, ruled by King Sebastian.

“The Demon Lord Jacquere must have tilted his head to see that. He exterminated Humans according to their beliefs, but in return, he only trembled at the poor archery. Whereas the Demon Kings of the East, heretics and traitors, are filled with riches every day in that warehouse. We all know their palaces are full of ivory and gold. ”

“So Jacquere the Fire Lord changed his mind, too?" ”

“That's right. You have to keep the occupied human alive to find out his pockets are full." But it's only a temporary measure. If the Demon Lord Jacquere thinks he has enough food and gold to survive the war, he must once again be terrified. ”

That's why I call it a two-faced tactic. The Demon Lord Jacquere has done quite a bit for him, marrying Earl Antoni's older sister, who ruled the Bastones 20 years ago. When I mention it, Giaccomo Albino smiles bitterly.

“It was definitely a blow. The Fire Lord is marrying a human. ”

“From Earl Antony's point of view, there's no choice but to defend the Bastones. The Demon Lord Jacquere has turned his lord Luxembourg into ashes, so he would do anything to ensure his safety. ”

“God has told me that there is an adult daughter between the two. ”

“That's right. The wife of a beautiful spirit. And that's what's causing this. ”

Jacquere the Fire Lord claimed his daughter had the right to inherit it after Earl Antoni died without a heir.

“Hahaha! The wily Demon King wore his head. ”

Jia Cohen sticks out her tongue as if she was stunned.

“Maybe it didn't come from his head. Jacquere the Fire Lord is impatient and dull in nature. ”

But the power of nature is the best. He reminds me of the third place the Demon Lord Odgash died in a trap in the past. Personally, it is much easier to deal with than the evil water devil Ahunde.

“You have a good book, don't you? ”

“That's right. I can guess who. ”

I needed to take care of that bookkeeper in order to defeat it.

“Senor Capitan. Do me a favor."

“Speak. My first task will be fulfilled." Hahaha. ”

“I'll make the right time. Then assassinate the scribe. It's just that those who protect him aren't going to be easy because they're a bunch of horses. ”

“Heheheh. Sounds like fun. This is the perfect task to unwind in a long time. Lord.”

I intend to kill the Demon King Jacquere's scribe in the process. Once the head is removed, the Demon Lord Jacquere will make a foolish judgment again.

“I'll ask you at the right time. Let's continue with the explanation. ”

Under the circumstances, the dead Earl Antony's estate was to be completed by his nephew as a successor. But the problem is there was one more nephew to claim the right to succession.

“Earl Antoni has been in a lot of anxiety in his life. So we also have a blood relationship with another strong man nearby, Pre-Trier. He had a sister, and she was sent after him. ”

Preliminary Trier is after the priesthood, but there was no problem getting married. His "Divine Justice Reuben" did not strictly forbid his priests from marrying.

He was carrying a concubine. One of the three wives is Earl Anthony's sister.

“Earl Anthony's married sister gave birth to a son. He also passed the terms and conditions this year. Trier, of course, claimed that he had the right to inherit the estate of Earl Antoni, whose son had died. ”

Something strange has happened.

Sequentially, my sister's child is more important than her sister's. At that point, you can raise Jacquere the Fire Lord's daughter's hand.

However, according to the principle of firstborn succession, we can support the son of pre-Trier. Empire law recognizes female monarchs, but the firstborn succession is fundamental.

Valpurgis was also recognized as a successor because there was no man to inherit the firstborn after Bavaria.

“So it's a match between your daughter and your little brother's son? Behind them stood the great Demon King Zacher and his father, Trier Premier. ”

“That's right.”

Historically, the two of them eventually meet to build a fence, where they stand against each other and fire together. Two giants triggered a huge explosion spell, evaporating and consuming all of the staff members who participated, of course.

There was no real comedy. What's even more amusing is that the legacy of Earl Antoni eventually comes from a third party called Liechlieu.

You look like a dead dog.

I originally tried to watch the two of you burn and Lischelli take care of the fishery, but now things have changed. I was going to meditate and eat some of Earl Antoni's territory.

“Senor Capitan. There's a way to get to Bastogne and sort this out. ”

“Remarkable. God only understands the situation before and after, but there is no action like a mist. However, the wisdom is amazing because the Lord is confident in the resolution of his work. ”

“I don't have the ability to see a great nation, but I have a knack for squeezing in when things happen. ”

Typical trickster wisdom. So far, I've been doing quite well, but things have changed with the expansion of land to rule.

Especially since I had so much to go around and fight, I needed a vision to save my life. There was also a plan to secure such a prize in Bastogne.

* * *

As soon as I arrived in Bastogne, I drafted a letter for the Emperor.

Your Majesty, as God looks to the West for compassion, both factions want a compromise. However, we have not reached an agreement on how to divide the territory of Earl Antoni.

The Inheritance Ordinance centers on three cities: Bastogne, Hoshfoch and Malmedia. Hoshfoch said the Demon King Jacques and Malmedie had taken over by Pre-Trier. because each of the two cities is close to their own territory.

The problem is Bastogne in the middle. We have been fighting like dogs and monkeys for nothing for a long time now, and the chaos of the empire is getting worse every day.

So God bless His Majesty, and show His Majesty's majesty in Bastogne. Although the Demon King and his predecessor have taken an interest in Bastogne, the people of the underworld are not His Majesty's children.

There is no reason why the people of Bastogne cannot be repaired in your arms. Eventually, the Demon King Jacques and Trier will realize that many of their plans have gone to waste.

I do not doubt that the Empire will praise your majesty and grace, each of you will share his or her, and the conflict will cease.

If you leave the custody of Bastogne to God, I will strive to show you the majesty of the Empire with all my heart.

If I shortened this passage, I would ask you to give me Bastogne. I consulted with Callione about this. She is still in Vienna, the capital of the Empire, because she knows the trends of the Emperor and the atmosphere of the Emperor.

- It's been a long time, hasn't it?

Callione complains as soon as she contacts you with her magic ring.

- I pride myself on being a princess from birth and no one is more precious than me.

- I'm sorry to admit that.

- I also hear that beauty is also the most international thing.

- I don't know what you want to say, but I admit it's true. Your beauty is a strategic weapon.

In my head, I remembered a face as beautiful as Callione's doll. Unlike Valpurgis, who was lively and often blushing his cheeks, he had a cold look like a princess of the Snow Country.

- But why are you so interested in me?

- What's wrong with you?

- I felt the value of my beauty in the capital. All men, except the Emperor, hung on to get one look at me, so I didn't have a day to feel comfortable. He's such a pathetic pig. I wish I could crush them right now, but I can't because there are perverts who would love it. I think my flower beauty is sinful.I need to leave here soon.

An innocent girl who didn't know how powerful her face was, even though I was pretty, was pouring out a snobby speech because of all the times in the capital society.

I guess I've been lonely for a lot of things. It must have been hard to survive in the capital without anyone to rely on. I accepted Callione's conversation and laughed at Hassoyeon.

- The emperor wasn't interested in me, by the way. I'm really happy for you, but it's also really weird. My beauty is universal, and I think it doesn't stop with men and women. But why wouldn't he be interested in me?

She's getting worse. Maybe she's not sick because she's a 100% pure princess.

- There's a reason. Because the Emperor is a dragon.

- Aah!

Callione gives you a little surprise and prestige. I giggle because I'm funny, and she burps.

- You are not a gentleman to laugh at a lady's mistake!

- I'm sorry, honey.

- Don't treat them like children! No one in the capital looks more feminine than me.

Once again, she grumbles and is surprised that the emperor was a dragon. But I'll take that as a no doubt. Wonderful.

- But there's still a question.

- What's the big question?

- There are two men in the world who don't care about me.

There's two of you?

- That's right, it's completely irrational, irrational, pathetic. My beauty is common sense, even though I don't know the language, so how come there are two of them in all the world?

It was quite angry.

- One is Emperor Franz IV, but he's a dragon, so I understand. Woman's taste in Bondi dragons is to have a horn that is shiny and small.

Then who's the other one?

- Who is he?

- Huh?

- How could someone like me throw a cute, loving girl in class all by herself and not be sexually communicating with her? Although I was anxious to become a proper lady for the master's dignity, I was really unhappy.

What's wrong with her?

- No, we're a family. What are you talking about?

- That's true, but I need a little more attention.

I didn't have anything to say when I came out like that. Besides, it's more like a loving child than a rational feeling. I felt like I saw a grumbling daughter.

- Got it.

- Words alone are insufficient, please promise regular contact.

-... and you've lost sight of it.

It was originally a blunt image of a princess.

- It's all thanks to your teachings.

If I taught him a little more, he would have cheated me in the capital city of the Empire. I sincerely hope I don't hear that Calliope flew against a noblewoman in the capital.

- Hnng... I accept your demands.

Then the Callios became cooperative with a faint voice. So I was able to discuss the letter. First, I explained my intentions to her.

- I was confident this proposal would appeal to the Emperor. He is struggling to keep the Empire going. If this succession passes to either side, it means the balance of the western part of the empire has been broken so far.

- So, the Emperor doesn't want either of you to win?

The peace west of the Empire is sustained because the two giants were unable to see each other and move. When the balance is broken, the strong will definitely raise an army to subdue the weak.

So I wanted them to have one city at a time, and in the middle of that, the Super Fortress, Vastony, was under the influence of the Emperor.

- But if you do so, you will see other preemptive notices that deter the imperial kingdom. I need to take charge of the Emperor's loyalty and blindfold him in my own way.

I was impressed by what Calliope said.

- Seems like an appropriate offer. I'm sure I can get the Emperor's attention. As expected, the Lord is excellent. Seems to be specialized in benefiting from others' conflicts. If there's a secret, I'd like to hear it.

I don't know if it's a compliment or an insult.

- I'll tell you one thing. Whenever someone makes a move, they have to present what they want. Then there will be no failure.

Callio couldn't help but admire me.

- I studied a lot today. Just like the Lord said, I was confident that I would succeed 100 times with 100 scams!

- …….

No, what the hell is he learning?
