Hero without Blood or Tear

[88] More than Scheme. (1)

The Demon King Jacquere and Trier finally accepted the alliance of marriage. This brings peace to the western part of the Empire. I have earned a tremendous honor as a protagonist in solving this.

“Lord! The citizens of Bastogne will erect a statue of you. ”

That was just the beginning. Wittenbuyer Parliament has expressed their best support to me. In summary, the letter was written in a stylish language.

- Our Lord is the best!

I nod with a joyful look.

“Pigs, look how loyal you are. Huhuhuhuhu.”

In addition, letters and gifts of praise have arrived from all over the Empire.

- I admired your work in peace without swinging your sword once. (Balar Knights)

- Praise the wisdom beyond magic! (Hessen's Magic Guild)

- The elders will remember your name. (Imperial Senate Meeting)

The courtship letters of talented and beautiful women were also endless. I'd like to invite you to dinner, sing for you, cruise along the river, and more.

The problems of the west have drawn the attention of the entire empire, and I have truly become a star. But now I have a lot of work to do, so I couldn't respond to such support.

I went to see Leon first. He was currently staying with Yulia in Bastogne. I couldn't break up after falling in love with my honeymoon's sweet dreams.

“Deacon Lawrence. Should I call you Earl Wittenbuyer? ”

“Call me whatever you like. Confucius.”

I apologized for deceiving my identity not long ago. Thankfully, Leon understood.

“Is the Union doing well? ”

“Of course. I'm stuck here all day. ”

“Lots of people are waiting for the fruit of love. ”

León's face flushes with shame, I say.

“I'm working on it. ”

“Give your wife a lot of love. Your child will be a symbol of peace. The Confucius did a really big thing. ”

Leon shakes his head as if not.

“No way. It was all Earl Wittenbayer. To be honest, I was very impressed with this. ”

Leon grabbed my hand.

“Thank you for keeping the peace. If it had been an emotional collision, it would have taken irreversible damage. ”

“I'm glad you said that. ”

“I will not forget this grace. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. ”

“Then I have something to tell you. ”

Leon wonders what I'm going to say.

“There's one thing I'd like to ask you to do. ”

“What is it? ”

“Be friends. ”

“Ah!”

Leon was greatly pleased.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. Can I expect a prince's friendship?" ”

“I'd love to! I was wondering how I'd get along with Count Vitenweir! But I can't believe you reached out your hand like this. ”

Of course he will. He will inherit the throne of pre-emptive territory and rule over vast lands. Forward march is advantageous when the right is forged.

“I hope to be a strong ally with the Confederate in the future. Let's get through this mess together. ”

He is not a monarch with a lot of recognition and awkwardness. But if I help you, it'll be different.

“I don't want that either! If it's about Earl Wittenbuyer, I'd be happy to help you out. ”

We once again held each other's hands firmly. Increasingly, my alliance forces within the empire were growing.

* * *

A week later, a new decree arrived.

Soon after the settlement on the alliance was concluded, Jacques the Demon King and Trier's camp expressed an unusual interest.

When the decree came out, and it was told that Jacques, the Demon Lord of Fire, had descended on the three of them, we had to meet again.

“Damn it! I'm annoyed at the urge to marry my daughter, but the Human Leader is telling the King what to do! How dare you!”

The Demon King Jacquere remained. He growled as if he were about to burn his surroundings at once.

“Be quiet. It's noisy.”

The Demon King Jacquere bursts his fury as he strokes his beard.

“The old man is now a penniless widow! It doesn't matter if he breaks up and goes to war! ”

“How ignorant! Drag it.”

Now I can also be a family, but what I do is no different than before. No, I'm glad I didn't grab her by the throat. For a while, they kept their mouths shut until the Emperor's signature appeared.

“Listen to Earl Wittenbayer! ”

The prosecutor's graceful voice attracts the attention of everyone in the hall.

“Peace, which has recently returned to the west of the Empire, is a great joy for Jim. I'm taking on a new position for Count Vitenweir. I hereby appoint Earl Vitenweir to appear in the Reichstag of the Imperial Parliament! ”

A round of applause and congratulations pours in.

“It's a great honor! Congratulations!”

“Your Majesty has recognized the Earl's balls. ”

However, I looked up at the palm of my hand with a light smile, as the envoy's words were not yet finished.

“And Jim! Earl Wittenbuyer, a member of the Imperial Parliament, grants Erlaucht a special and honorable title! ”

Congratulations again.

“From now on, I shall call you President! ”

“I'll cut it down!”

I was thankful for the celebrations that were pouring out from everywhere. Then the Demon King Jacquere grumbles behind his ear.

“Hmph! What's so important about you, Senator? Come to King Bone instead. I give you the most pleasure and wealth in the world. I'll give you so many beautiful witch virgins. You seem to be quite useful, so the King recommends it in particular. ”

Oh, my God. I never thought I'd get an offer from Jacquere, the Demon Lord of Fire. I have met him several times in the past, but this has never happened before.

Given his postponement of the human garbage disposal, the offer was truly overwhelming. No, his wives were in a state of shock.

I think he was pretty impressed with the case.

“Hmph! No way! ”

At that moment, pre-Trier, who was listening silently, interrupts, raising a huge chunk. I wonder if that old man's bread table is human or incoming.

“Earl Wittenweir is a nobleman of the empire with a rare identity. Are you trying to hook me up with some wild horse lady? At least bring a wife who looks like Princess Yulia! ”

The Demon King has a very difficult bloodline and a precious heir. The Demon King Jacquere had many women in Harem, but he had no more daughters to use as political arms, like Princess Julia.

“What, what! You!”

So, when I saw him flinching, I tried to smile.

“Unlike Sadon, this is a spoiled little girl. How are you, Count Vitenweir? I'm 12 years old this year, so you can take me straight to him. They're already saying she's not unusual. Everyone's saying she's going to be the best. ”

Oh, I didn't know you were interested in me until after Trier.

“How can someone as insignificant as me marry your daughter? ”

“No need to indulge. Earl Vitenweir, you are a truly emerging holy city. Anyone who has an overgrown daughter would want to get a son-in-law. It is also full of His Majesty's love, so how promising it is. ”

Pre-Elect Trier praises me and gives me a fierce shot.

“Honestly, I can't help thinking you played this game. Earl Wittenbuyer, so this disrespect will be forgiven if you take my daughter. Will you be the son-in-law of the overlord? Or are you going to pretend to be overprotective? ”

There's a lot of pressure here. The Demon King Jacquere interrupts.

“You old man! The King is staring at you, so stand down! ”

“Hmph! I'm just giving you my daughter. Unlike anyone who wants to unload! ”

They groan, pushing into each other's foreheads. I felt like I was seeing two angry bulls.

“Your Majesty. The contents of the Rules take precedence. ”

I tried to drift off first. But the two old monsters were also not strong enough.

“Very well. But I'll be bringing her back from Trier soon, so you'll have to meet her!" ”

“You can choose whichever of the King's wives you want! ”

… anyone's proposal was too much. I have to keep a good relationship for a while, just looking at it as accepting. It wasn't until soon after I asked him to speak to me that he could open his mouth.

Seeing his face, I felt tired of this situation and wanted to leave quickly. So I quickly read the affidavit.

“Preliminary Trier, listen. Currently, the western cities upstream of the Rhine have been engulfed by the Water Demon King. So I urge you to lead the army and march out and rescue the people of the Empire. In addition, the cities that have been avenged will promise you a favor from the overlord. ”

“Hmm!"

Tried to look unexpected, and my eyes widened after preliminary treatment. The chance to take over the city by the Rhine, especially under the pretext of hitting the Demon King.

It was the same with the imperial decree given to the Demon King Jacquere. I was politely asking for his identity as the Demon King. He also pledged himself to the same occupation of the city.

“Phew…. ”

The Demon Lord Jacquere was also interested. It's unlikely we'll have a chance to take over the Human Land with such justification.

More than anything, it seemed attractive to be able to attack the Demon King of Water. To him, the Demon King of Water was the enemy of the crippled world.

“Yes! I accept the will of the Human Leader! Don't you have an army of men who have lost their jobs and are just wasting their food? Hahahaha! I'll go and defeat that nasty Medusa army! ”

Once he made his decision, the Demon King Jacquere acted very quickly.

“Prepare to move your troops! ”

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

He and his victims rush out toward a new target of attack. The Demon King Jacquere's army is strong and numerous. You'll feel confident beating an old enemy.

It seemed like he was about to go crazy because he had already cleaned up his relationship with Trier. I told Premier and Trier that I was still thinking about it.

“Your Grace, what are your armies waiting for? Moreover, not only the cause, but the benefits are certain. ”

“Hmmm... ”

When he was concerned, he finally made a decision.

“Great! We're in! We mustn't be scavenged by that Demon King! Free as many cities and villages as you can from the Demon King of Water's oppression! ”

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

After preliminary Trier, the pretenders are also gone. I tried my best to hold on to their smiles and look behind them.

The legions of the Demon King Jacquere and Trier are strong. However, the Demon King Ahunde also hatched a vast number of Book Horses in Rhinefelden. He also absorbed the legions of Pezamut, led by the Orc general.

It was going to be a huge battlefield. There will be nothing but blood in the Rhine.

“Everything's going according to my plan. ”

But when I was confident about winning, an unexpected variable occurred. Papenheim contacted me suddenly. He oversees the Daywalkers scattered throughout the Southwestern Empire. He seemed to have some important information.

- Sir, we have a situation.

- What's the matter?

- Friedrich is fully allied with the Demon King of Water after Premiering Pfalz.

- What?

Something unexpected happened to me, and I just woke up.

- What are you talking about? Why did Aminde and Friedrich join forces?

It was an incomprehensible relationship. He will, too, because Friedrich is an ally of the Demon King Pezamut. In the last battle of Harfheim, Friedrich betrayed his nephew Philip and became the new Pfalz.

All of these plans were made with the Demon King Pezamut, and the two remained steadfast after that. But Friedrich suddenly allied himself with the Demon King, Agande, who was the enemy of the Demon King Peshmut after Pfalz.

Of course it was weird.

- I ate the northwest side of the Rhine. That's what got Pezamut behind his back. Now that you two are irreversible, how could Friedrich abandon his alliance, Peshmut, and join hands with his enemy, Amunde?

I was really curious about why Friedrich changed his alliance after Pfalz.

- We investigated it as a matter of money.

- Money?

Pezamut borrowed a substantial commission from Friedrich in the last battle of Harfheim.

After Pfalz, Friedrich is extremely wealthy. It's not unusual for the Demon King to open his hands.

- Problem is, Pezamut didn't pay for it. To be precise, I don't think I can afford it.

Now Pezamut can't come or go from Innsbruck and is wasting time and money. I can't afford to repay my debt.

- Is that why Friedrich was so upset?

- That's right.

- I think you two have more emotional problems than you think.

Oh, my God, this is happening. I met an unexpected reef.

“Pezamut, you fool! ”

I ripped my head off. That fool mishandled the money and turned the powerful alliance of Pfalz against his enemies! The panic was overwhelming.

I mean, the opposition was so stupid, it was way beyond my expectations.
