If we take Eric back to the conference room, we welcome him in as if nothing had happened to Weegraf and Commander-in-Chief Laurenzorel, who were waiting, and start scheduling an announcement ceremony.

Eric's refusal to declare it will not gain anything, so I'm the only one who knows about it, which was a usage run between the Marquis and Eric. It's a public secret.

Whatever it was, this solved the troublesome problem.

I don't have anything to pinch my mouth for at the inaugural ceremony. Later we will only wait for the directive.

Elgnard and I left the conference room first, which also made no sense to attend the meeting, in order to clean up another job or chore.

"You did it after all."

"... disrespectful of boulders."

You didn't say, "Who?

Elgnard walking next to me giggles coolly on his way to the squad yard.

I just felt that face a little loud saying I knew this was going to happen, and I sighed.

"I wish you could have sticked with me a little more. That way, the bet was my win."

"Can you not use people for gambling?"

"If you remember, let's do that next time"

Perhaps the contents of the bet were when I would break to Eric or not to the end.

Was it Elgnard, the Marquis and Weegraff who were playing? Given their character and grasp of me, maybe Weegraf won. He used to work as a staff officer. He has a sensitive mind.

"I didn't soften my attitude when I got here, so I figured I wasn't motivated to do anything like that. The cause of your insensitivity to him would have been quite resolved, wouldn't it?

"Well, you've unilaterally broken the flag of what was developing into all that power strife."

Elgnard's words mean that Eric is coming off the side of Prince Wang. To put it plainly, it's a leg loss.

It is Grace, the next Grand Duke and Prince Wang, whom I want to take a political distance from, and as I so badly entertain with the grandson of the commander-in-chief, I will not be forced to open the distance that close to Prince Wang.

In that regard, Eric, who has a low public status, was just as good for pinching like a buffer between the two of them.

If the factional struggle had ended with the certainty between Eric the concubine and me, merely a regional ambassador, then he had also involved the entire Academy via Sieghardt in that clearly opposed class of simulated duels, culminating in the movement of Marquis Laurenzorel and Archduke Dovadyne, the commander-in-chief of the King's Army.

This clearly becomes Eric's stain. It was only natural that power should be kept away from him.

"Well, it was unexpected that he would abandon his role over this period. I don't care if you broke it to him and didn't let him declare it, there was a war going on."

I know that. The morale of the King's army would be terribly reduced, but as a last resort, there was also a proposal to kill all the slave soldiers that the King's army could not attack with the King's army and my uncle's army. If necessary, I could ask Uncle Junus for reinforcements.

"I can't get through enough."

"Well, I guess that's what you mean when you didn't. But even though I dared to lose my cause, why didn't I measure the repair of the relationship?

I bent my lips to the letter to. Makes it look as if the topic flowed from there for a moment, and you end up poking around and asking me?

"... because you'll miss it when you get it, that..."

With another deep sigh, Ergnard erupted in abundance.

I glance at him with my first glance, laughing with a lot of pleasure. That's why I didn't like to say it.

Let's call Russywok and make him play, etc., and he starts to think of ways to fight back.

It was then.

─ ─ The ground rocks with a flash of running impact, along with the sound of a distant sound, Doon.

Pitali, and me and Elgnard stopped moving and looked at each other.

"... underground"

"The children of the prisoners...!

"I'll go first. You call Raswiwok and then you follow me."

Nodding, he flips his black coat and Elgnard rushes away.

As I went outside the corridor to chase it too, I blew my finger whistle high to call Raswiwok.
