Hero without Blood or Tear

She shakes her head.

“How did you know she was a moonlighting woman? ”

I know this because I've hired a moonlighter in the past, but I can't answer that, so let's be bold.

“It was not difficult. Are you trying to deceive yourself that much? Madmoiselle Daltagnan.”

“Ugh!”

He looked like a man, but he seemed quite confident. Actually, her acting was perfect. He was acting like a man, no matter what.

Since I thought I was raised as a man since I was a child, I can see how powerful that ability is as a spy.

“You seem pretty confident in your skills, but you're still a little short. ”

My point was that the face of the moon target was red with shame. The bluffing worked surprisingly well.

“Anyway, hit the moon. I need you to come under my command. ”

“Why? As you pointed out, my abilities are insignificant. ”

That can't be right. Daltagnin, like Riesuli, is still just a kid, but a hero with a high potential for growth. I'm still young, but I'm already on the edge of swordsmanship.

“Are you sexually harassing me because you know I'm a woman? ”

“I understand your concern, but that's not it. I have a woman in mind. ”

You should be worried about her because she's pretty. Of course, I admit she's attractive. But what about a handsome face for a girl? She was definitely a beauty, but she seemed to be more popular with the same woman than men. He's tall and tall.

“I'll treat you as a gentleman. Rest assured I won't treat you as a woman. I intend to do my best for the lady of my heart. ”

“… Well, the Earl is like a snake, but he has a temper that doesn't suit his heart. Do you think she has a lot of estate to inherit? ”

Hot.

You're a spy, aren't you? But my interest in Valpurgis is not in wealth. Because we always fought together.

Of course, the appearance is also very tasteful. Beautiful blonde, Goddess like beauty, and I saw it one day when I opened my breastplate. I felt like I saw Mother's land flowing with milk and honey. I wanted to rest forever with that fragrance and warmth on my face.

“Hmm... It's true she has more than most. But it's not because of that. He's not the one whose wealth and title go anywhere. ”

“I understand you're saying that. ”

Once I realized that I had no intention of being impure, I felt relieved. But that doesn't mean I like it. So she has offered a temporary new species.

“If you save the city, I will serve the Earl for five years. Anything more is impossible. ”

At that, I nodded.

“Good. I'll do that. ”

I had no reason to refuse. We have to stay together and get a heart. I pride myself on being a swampy monarch. Once a competent god enters my arms, there is no case that he has left since. I'll keep you by my side with all sorts of tricks, so it was practically over.

“Swear a new servant at once. ”

One of the moonlighters knelt down, I said.

“I swear to Ruuben, the Divine Truth, that I will serve and serve Earl Vitenweir for the next five years. ”

“Good. Let's get you up. ”

I was satisfied and said to her and others.

“You're a witness. Liechli and others.”

“Very well. Now I give you power. Please save the castle from persecution. ”

Liechlieu was expecting me to bring an army to resolve the situation. But that's not my solution. It was just a way to do it because I know the history.

Surprising things happened in history after the Demon King Jacques and Trier preemptively exploded together. I was determined to use it in advance because I was aware of the case.

“Just wait a few days. We need someone to execute the maneuver. ”

Giacco Albino needed it to smooth things out. It's time to come back.

“The moon. You must help me, too. ”

“Very well, Lord. ”

She looks reluctant, but after swearing by the character of justice anyway. Unless you ask too much, I'll follow you.

“But a large force has already approached the city. We can't wait a few days. Earl.”

“I understand your concern, other than Riesley. Maybe tomorrow there will be an ultimatum. ”

“Did you know that? ”

“There's a way to buy time. Do as you're told. ”

“Hurrah!"

Liechlieu seems to have lost her mind. And the next day, the two factions really did arrive with ultimatums.

- The Bone King offered terms of generosity. However, since you did not answer me quickly, I will say that the sin against my lord the king's heart is great. I'll tell you one last time. If you don't give me an answer, I'll show no mercy to the city after I defeat that arrogant preemptive.

The threat of the Demon King Jacquere has changed so blatantly.

- The Guan is doubtful of your loyalty to the Emperor. The Demon King, who is the architect of humanity, has come before us. How can he refuse the hand of the overlord? If you don't make a decision soon, it will be difficult to expect a future procedure.

Threats after preliminary Trier were also invasive. As expected, the citizens of Bastonho may not like it after school. Of course, it is not just for those emotional reasons that we reject the two giants.

After the death of Earl Antoni, this place had a similar position as the Free City. Lichelli and others were currently in a position similar to the market, even though they were holy white.

So I don't want to kneel under the monarchy again. Especially since they both dominated the territory by putting powerful pressure on it.

“We're really running out of time. Earl.”

She replied as if it was nothing more than a rush.

“Give them what they want. ”

“Yes? What's that? ”

“Make a pact with both factions. ”

I told Jacquere the Demon King that I would gladly give up the city and that I would support him in defeating Trier's preemptive posture.

“That's not enough. Tell them to support the Demon King's shortage of weapons. ”

“Earl!"

“Just keep listening. Then make the same promise to Premier Trier. ”

Willingly dedicate the city to the first Trier Emperor and pledge to support the subjugation of the Demon King Jacquere.

“Premier Trier says there's more money to be spent than there is in the military, so tell her to support the Doubloons. ”

“How can you do this? If they find out we made a deal with both of them, they won't stand for it. ”

“What are you worried about? If you don't get caught for a while, that's it. ”

“Earl!"

“There are conditions instead. You are not the one who made a pact with them, but you are the current ruler of the city, Liechli. ”

Rischlieu soon understood my intentions.

“Are you insisting that the agreement will be nullified? ”

“Yes. I contacted the capital and told them that the Emperor's envoy had left. The city has already become mine by the will of the Emperor. ”

In other words, all agreements with Liechli are null and void. He wasn't qualified to enter into the agreement in the first place.

“I'm sorry, but you have to take all the responsibility, except for Liechley. You'd do that to save the city, wouldn't you? ”

“H-of course I can. ”

“Don't worry too much about the road ahead. I'll get you a fresh start in Wittenbuyer. If you're under my command, you can expect a promotion. ”

“We'll see about that. But if you're going to take this city, what's different than handing it over to the giants who are marching now? ”

It works for pre-Trier, or it works for me as Earl Wittenbuyer, or I surrender to the throne.

“Citizens worship the Earl as a liberator. But if they were just another thief, who would really follow them? ”

“Don't worry about it. It's not just about guaranteeing the freedom of the current city. I will invite the Emperor to make it Emperor's Freedom. Isn't that enough? ”

“You're serious!”

The freedom that Bastogne is now gaining is merely a coincidence. But I'm surprised I can claim that right in the name of the Emperor.

“That's not a lie. ”

“The citizens will absolutely support the Earl. ”

“The city will be free. You just have to recognize yourself as a monarch and pay a little tax. I won't interfere with Bastogne once I do. ”

I asked for blueprints on the future of such a city and then did as I was told.

“I understand your intent to stall. But can you really defeat both factions afterwards? If the treaty is found null and void after my disappearance, their anger will not go away. ”

It wasn't legal, but it could be violent.

“Don't worry. Both factions will have to reconcile. ”

At my answer, she sighs for a long time and looks down at her waist.

“Very well. I'll take your word for it. I look forward to hearing your tactics in the sky. ”

“Thank you for your reassurance. ”

“Still, can't you tell me how to use it? ”

“Simple. Love will solve this. ”

In my answer, she seemed to hear something really strange.

“Love?”

* * *

Liechlieu has made secret dealings with both factions, as I commanded. Massive bribes have been sent from both sides to Bastonio. Of course, there were doubts that you had a mutual agreement.

But it seemed like it didn't really matter that much. There was a promise to give the city anyway. Now that you've defeated the enemy in front of you, you've decided that you can get the results you want.

Unfortunately, they were already unaware that the city's ruler had changed. In the meantime, I waited quietly for Giacco Albino to arrive.

On a vast plain outside the castle, the forces of the Demon King Jacquere and Premier Trier began to fight. Between the two factions, the envoys worked diligently to negotiate a last-minute settlement.

“That's pointless. We have to fight. Ain't that right? ”

All I could ask was a nod. This is getting a little messy. She follows me around as instructed, but she doesn't open her mouth unless she has to.

Well, I can't be impressed right now. We need to understand. We need to earn her loyalty slowly in the future. I can be sure of that.

“Moon, our objective is to kidnap the factor. ”

“Kidnapping?”

For the first time today, she opened her mouth.

“Yes."

“Are you planning to kidnap the Fire Demon King or Trier Pre-Election? ”

“Haha, too much joking. They can't be assassinated, but kidnapped. ”

“Yes. It seems they are trying to kidnap the forces under their command, but they cannot be shaken that much. ”

That point made sense. Being held hostage won't stop them, a personality fire. But I'm well aware of that.

“But what if it's a couple of centuries? ”

“A couple of centuries? ”

The moonlighter looks more and more unknowable.

“I'll know if you wait. Maybe Senor Cappie will come back tomorrow night or later. ”

As I calculated, Giaccomo Albino arrived the next night.

“Lord. Mission accomplished. ”

His clothes were all messed up because of the signs of a difficult journey. There were blood trails, too. But his face was bright. I nodded and put my hand on his shoulder.

“Senor Capitan. ”

“Yes, Lord. ”

“As soon as I'm done with my mission, I'm sorry to ask you to do this, but I need you to work with me. ”

“What is it this time? ”

“It's about kidnapping the most beautiful girl in the world. ”

He was curious, but his face was pale in my answer.

“Yes?”

“Oh, that wouldn't be funny. Let's kidnap the most handsome young man in the world. ”
