Hero without Blood or Tear

- If there is a direct assault on Sachsen, then I know your relationship with Jim is over! And give me back all of Saxony's preliminary visuals!

The emperor hung up on me.

It was also difficult to invade Sachsen directly for a while. Despite the Emperor's demands, the Golden Alliance also made peace with Sachsen.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to leave Sachsen at ease. Everything in the world has tricks.

A few days later, Valpurgis arrives with news.

“There's a commotion in Sachsen. Baller. This peace treaty is humiliating diplomacy. ”

I heard the nobles stood up with orders to nullify it immediately.

“Here's what I expected. Nothing to worry about. ”

I explained to her by pouring her a cup of tea.

“Those who are standing up now may not even know if Sachsen is dead. ”

The death after preliminary death is a secret only the highest level of Sachsen knows. Most of the nobles had no idea.

“They don't know how disadvantageous Sachsen is now. So it's humiliating, it's voice-over. What if I told you about reality here? ”

“This is going to be crazy. ”

“That's right. And it's as fun as a house on fire.

I announced in full that Sachsen's preliminary death was without any consultation with Sachsen. And I claimed I was keeping the jewelry sword and the signet ring for my successor.

- After Sachsen's preliminary election, His Highness ordered me to hand this over to him who has the qualities of an heir. By your will, I will hand over the treasure of Sachsen to the most suitable heir.

The announcement, of course, rattled Saxon, and the returning spy, foamed and contacted the crystal sphere.

- What if you announce it?

- No, I don't. I think you're in trouble. I was trying to help the nobles who didn't know what they were doing. And when did I tell you that Sachsen kept his death a secret?

Specialists shake their beards and flinch.

- Is this a person, a ghost?

- Hey, don't be rude. You must always be as noble as the Empire.

- Haha!

The X.O. has lost his words. But he is a clever man. I tried to make the crisis an opportunity.

- I need your help, Duke Niederzaxen. Give him back his password.

In response to that request, I asked for something unexpected.

- Do you have any more money?

- Yes?

- No, it's... There are a lot of soldiers in the Golden Alliance, so we're short on supplies. I want you to show friendship.

- You got 100,000 florins!

At that, I snorted.

- Pre-election, you got it, I got it. What is wrong with you? I haven't seen your friendship yet.

- How dare you!

I pushed my face into the crystal ball and shouted how angry he was.

- Don't get too attached to the crystal ball. All I can see is your nostrils. And I'm going to have to hang up now.

- No, what's the matter?

- Earl Leipzig just called. I heard you were interested in Seal Rings.

Earl Leipzig is the second son of Zachsen's predecessor.

Oh, no! Mr. President, you must stand by Duke Niedersaxen's side! It was Duke Niedersaxon who worked so hard to keep the peace!

- No, I don't mean to shake hands with Earl Leipzig. But I've been in touch with you, so why don't you listen to me?

I smiled, telling him not to worry.

- If friendship (Doubloons) is strong between us, what's there to worry about? Goodbye, then.

- It's like a fortune...

Knuckles!

I've turned off the crystal ball. I've been nostalgic about taking money from my successors for a while now.

“Soon I'll be able to swim with gold on the floor like a dragon. ”

* * *

Throughout the winter, my successors have shown me many kindnesses.

“From Duke Niedersaxon. ”

“This is a message from Earl Leipzig. ”

“This is a message from Earl Mysen. ”

“… and so on. ”

I look at the pile of gold coins as if Deputy Max had grown tired. I was saying it in good faith, but it was a bribe. We are trying to settle the gold coins that were taken out in the winter.

“Mr. President, I'm a ruthless mercenary, so I'm weak. ”

Max says he's dying. He would, too, because the tribute I received from Sachsen was just over 350,000 Florins. The Bavarian court was more than officially funded.

“Let's keep counting. What are you doing? ”

“Mr. President, isn't this how you got away with it? ”

“Huh! What are you looking at your skills for? I've eaten as much as I can, but I've never pretended. The more in the world, the better. That's gold. ”

Glug glug.

A handful of gold coins fell down between my fingers.

“Listen to the sound of gold coins falling. Isn't that the most beautiful sound in the world? ”

“Mr. President, you're obsessed with money. Some great poet once said that happiness can't only be bought with money.

That said, I looked ridiculous.

“Who said you wanted to be happy? I said I wanted more gold coins. ”

“Huh…. ”

Max's gaze at me felt like he had gone too far. But I don't curse because I know I always spend my money only on the army and the territory. I spent a lot of money on myself. Feather hats were the same as they were worn in the days of mercenaries.

“The poet must have been a hypocrite. When others were studying in the sun, I would drink wine and wonder what life was like and what philosophy was like. He would have written with a pen," Happiness can't be bought with money, with a face of grief all by himself. "I think the slaves next door were sweating like rain harvesting grapes. ”

“ ……. ”

After losing Max's words, I urged him to drink wine and put a stop to it.

“The old saying no one spits in the money. Who doesn't like money? ”

I urged Max.

“Hurry up and count the Doubloons diligently in polite posture! I can also call it the King of Doubloons if I have to. ”

“… I should not speak. ”

Anyway, now that I've been paid, it's time to return the favor. The Emperor insisted on returning Sachsen's treasure, the Seal Ring, and the precious sword.

But you can't just give it back here. It's better to give it back to Sachsen and the Emperor.

* * *

Sachsen is on the brink of devastation. The Wittenbuyer Change Bag was completely turned upside down after the official announcement of the preliminary death. Until then, the nobles who chanted the humiliating peace treaty realized that it was a divine act for Sachsen.

As I stopped the shouting, the quarrel deepened inside. The quartile forces entered the queue through internal labor, eventually split into the first and second most powerful Duke Niederzacsen factions.

They had not yet put their swords in each other's faces because they were brothers, but they all knew that they would soon be able to put something other than their swords into them.

Sachsen in this fierce atmosphere was faced with great difficulties at the end of winter. The Wittenbuyer change bag returned a preliminary item after Sachsen's death. The inventory was due to arrive today, and all of them came to the Feud.

“It's time to arrive. Merge.”

“It must be mine, right? ”

“Of course. Merge. God told me all about it. ”

“Good.”

On one side of the war was Duke Niederzakhsen, a prominent post-preliminary successor, and Duben Sanctuary, his rifle (23541;). This Duben Sanctuary is the arrogant envoy who was recently dispatched to Bavaria.

“The Wittenbuyer Change Bag has sworn to hand over the items together. ”

“If you took an oath, I'm sure you would. ”

Duke Niedersaxon smiles bitterly at his brother, Earl Leipzig, on the other side of the war.

“You are an abomination. You will be thrown out of the war crying today. ”

Earl Leipzig was also aiming to kill his brother. They were brothers who came out of the same boat, but they were eager to put a knife in each other's boat.

They were also careful when walking on the palace handrails. It was because he didn't know when his brother would come and push him out of the building.

“A special agent from the Wittenbuyer Change Bag has arrived! ”

The battle rages on in that cry. The successors gathered here were struggling with the sense of who this important artifact would return to. Soon, a group of intelligence officers arrives with a chest.

“Here's the message from the President of the Wittenbuyer Change Bag! I wrote down in the box who the decent successor is. You asked each other to be witnesses so that no other words would come out later! ”

“That's a fair point! ”

Duke Niedersaxon leaps forward with a burst of excitement. Then those who brought the box bowed down and retreated. It seemed suspicious to be in a hurry, but no one was interested in the box at the moment.

“Your father's artifact at last! ”

“Sir, please wait a moment. Shouldn't we open it together? ”

Duke Niedersaxon, of course, thought it was his property, but when his brother, Earl Leipzig, stepped forward, he was greatly offended. However, I couldn't be angry because the nobles were watching.

“Good. You should come too. ”

They drop slightly between the boxes. The user draws its sword so that it can jump like a frog and avoid it at any time.

“Come on, open it. ”

When the bag was opened, a pedestal sword and ring appeared in a long box.

“Definitely authentic! ”

“Oh! It's your majesty! ”

The nobles who came and watched were amazed.

“There's a letter there. ”

“The Grand Chamberlain, have a look. ”

The Grand Chamberlain stood at the request of the nobles and opened the letter. Soon, however, his expression reflected on him. Then he wonders around.

“What the hell? ”

“What's the matter? Why don't you read it? ”

The Duke of Niedersaxon takes the letter and ripens in a loud voice.

“I've decided to reconsider and make peace with Sachsen. The Seal Ring is for Duke Niedersensen, and for Earl Leipzig the Bo... Brothers unite to rule Sachsen in peace and justice. ”

At one point it seemed plausible. But it was a plausible load of crap.

“Holy shit! ”

Duke Niedersaxon throws away the letter he was holding. Then he picks up the ring and quickly grabs the longsword. Earl Leipzig rolls his eyes at you.

“Let it go! Brother!”

“Shut up!”

Suddenly, the two brothers began to fight each other by their necks. Then the two followers divide into two groups and fight. The glorious battle of Sachsen has turned into a battlefield for marketplace thugs.

“Let go! Let go! Tsk!”

“Begone! Shame on your family! Kaaaaaaaaaaah!!! ”

The brothers were arguing, spitting on each other's faces.

“This is happening! ”

Duben went to the station in winter, feeling dizzy and staggering. We were so cruel, but the item was divided in two. Now the successors are about to fight like pigs in the mud.

Stuttering.

I hurriedly took the crystal ball out of my arms and rushed to a place where no one could see. He was matched with a Wittenbuyer change bag.

“What the hell are you doing! Change Bag!”

No matter how angry I was, I had no words to say to the worthy.

“I thought Sachsen was your playground! You've done a great job! I will make you pay for this today! ”

The Duben Sanctuary has a long way to go, but the opposing Pokémon are grumpy.

“I don't know what the problem is. ”

“You bastard! I thought you said you were going to give the artifact to our Duke Niedersaxon! ”

Earl Vitenweir replies by poking the meat in between his teeth with a dinner knife next to him.

“Phew! I haven't eaten in a while. Oh, I never said I'd give both to Duke Niedersensen. ”

“What!”

“I'm not the easiest person to lie to. Well, I kept my promise. I'm not talking to the deaf. How can you not understand? ”

“That's what I call it! ”

“Anyway, I like the money you sent me. Hahaha!”

Knuckles!

With it, the magical communication ended.

“Oh, no! Crazy! ”

Duben is in a hurry to reconnect the crystal sphere, but it is of no use. The opponent destroyed the crystal sphere. Duben's head is dizzy and his hands are loose, so he misses the crystal ball.

Tsk. Degur -.

He eventually settles down, unable to survive.

“Oh my! You've been beaten to a pulp by that vile villain! ”

Duben Sanctuary now heads down to the fate of the forthcoming Sachsen. It was because the successors who would argue with you must have shattered them into pieces.

And then four days later.

A lump of beef has been delivered to the Mansion of Duben Sanctuary. There was a note on it with a polite handwriting.

[Take care of it. My heart aches because your complexion is getting worse these days. You must do great things for Sachsen. - Your true friend, Ballersted von Wittenbuyer.]

“Cough!”

In a flash, Duben threw up blood and collapsed.
