I look up to the adult General Balzer because I'm less tall, so I'm inevitably the boss.
Aware of the bruises, he put his hands behind his back and stepped towards General Balzer, grinning.
"Oh my god! Surprised?
Fluffy laughter to make it look as natural as possible from the earlier deliberate grin.
"Ha, ha. You are much more intelligent than I was asking.
General Balzer's expression is hard on me with a smile on his face.
"Pfft. I'm glad you said that. Well, that's why I can't thank you enough either because I couldn't protect Miss Leandra right away.
".................. Hi.
Though General Balzer gave his expression for a moment to my words that seemed difficult to do, he immediately returned to smile.
"But Master Rymond can't usually appear on the table, so this is the first time you've talked about it this way. No............, you've taken over Ost's black and Chentro greens by brilliant. If you can get out of the social arena, I'm sure you'll gather everyone's gaze.
There's no way in the royal palace that words that can be directed against this color of mine are just words of praise.
Stare back straight at the gaze that makes it worthwhile.
"Does General Balzer think so, too? I like the color of my mother and father, too.
"Ha. Left side."
"Yeah. Often, I get compliments.
Yeah, I can compliment you.
Mostly to my brothers, though.
That's why it's not funny that you passed that on to General Balzer here.
As it stands, I am the only risk factor among my brothers that could make me king other than Brother Federico.
Brother Bertrand has already laid down his roots in an independent setting called the School away from the Royal Palace.
From there, it is not enough hope or merit to aim for succession to the throne now.
Although Brother Andrea is in the royal palace, he is the head of the nobility that pushes Brother Federico to the king.
I also understand the Carinas, that is, the nobles who want to make Brother Federico king of it.
Brother Orlando is going to join his son-in-law in another country, so he will not be involved in this issue of succession to the throne for the time being.
Brother John and Brother Jean don't really like the way they say it, but it's a mix.
Regardless of the pure subservient, there is no such thing as an insanity that pushes the mixture to the king, which has always been also known as a defect.
Still young, and succeeding Ost's dark hair and Chentro's green eyes, I am uncertain and dangerous from what I want Brother Federico to be king.
So the Carinas who want Brother Federico to be king want to be flexible about me, and the ones who don't want to use me to drag Brother Federico off the throne of the King Prince to take power.
But I can't contain either faction at a young age with only Maria and Master Currillos on my side as things stand.
By the way, my brothers are the people at the heart of the Carina sect in the first place, so I'm saddened that I can't put aside my brothers' personal feelings and be on my side.
Well, put that away.
Then how do you protect yourself?
"Oh? To whom?
He grins deeper into that gaze, which includes slight vigilance, and takes his raised index finger to his mouth.
"Pfft. Are you interested in me? General Balzer. But don't tell me.... you can't hurry, can you? Because I'm not going to be so far-fetched as to talk to people I'm not close to.
"... This is, this is... Advice. It hurts.
A child, and a child the same age as his own daughter, can't possibly be upset to say this.
I want you to even think about it and see it. Speaking of six-year-olds, he's a freshman in elementary school or a preschool senior.
Such a fucking kid laughs at me for being a detour B W. I'd look pretty good.
I definitely freak out inside without having to put it on my face.
But at the same time, General Balzer will have a certain sense of crisis in my words.
Who the hell am I to be close to?
Together, I can also assume that my remarks are wisdom from that friendly person.
So who the hell is that guy?
If it's from your brothers, you don't have to hide it because General Balzer is a Karina.
I guess there are a few other possible options, but what is the most realistic of them and the most inconvenient opponent for the Karinas, including General Balzer?
You're a Mayan nobleman, aren't you?
Besides, my caregiver, Maria, is a nobleman who was originally appreciated by her mother, or Maya, for her side, so I also have more faith in her.
It's possible the Mayans took me in. I hope this is just a bad imagination, but what if it's true?
Given the worst, we have to make sure that's true, and if it is, we have to somehow get that thing back together.
Do you know what a security dilemma is?
Simply put, if Country A stops at military strength to think of its own security and have a stronger power than neighboring Country B, that becomes a threat to Country B, which stops at military strength beyond that so that it can counter Country A.
In the end, the threat of country A continues to exist, as the military power of country B surpasses that of country A.
Simply put, the one where action for the security of one's own country amplifies the crisis in one's own country, and that repeats itself like an Itachi.
After this, General Balzer will put exploration into the Mayan nobility to remove the anxiety element of their faction.
Even the Mayan nobles are not silent if they are searched for.
Why, at this time, did the Karinas make a move? Even the Mayans aren't stupid, so I try to find out why.
But that is only an event that, from the Karina faction, turns suspicion into certainty, and begins to try to dwell further.
That would be exactly the beginning of the Itachi scene as described in the security dilemma.
If you don't have the power to defend yourself and you have two opposing factions, and those two factions threaten to target you, you can hit those two factions together.
My thoughts apparently worked well and General Balzer's expression is rude.
So one more push.
"General Balzer.
"......... what happened? Dear Rymond."
I utter words to General Balzer, who turns the smile he forced me to make, a little silly, childish, like telling a secret story.
"You don't want to pry, do you? It's a promise of secrecy.
"Ha. Left side."
It's childish and bruised.
It's a pretence not to pry, isn't it? Secrets can't be secrets without something to hide, can they?
The only thing that comes up even when I'm being explored is the fact that my brothers and I are friends.
General Balzer. Would you please keep me out of danger by exploring the unlikely secrets?
