"Nice to meet you, Ars von Barca. I'll see you later."
"Harold Wong Chilia. Nice to meet you, Ars."
Well, let's get this over with, Harold. First of all, I would like to refer to Lord Harold's position. See here. "
"Let me take a look. Hmm, as well as receiving comfort, there may be an increase depending on the work. Is this true?
"Yes, it's a document officially recognized by Carlos. There are no lies."
"... but what is this? I'm supposed to send my family to Fontana territory?
"Oh, that's not just for Lord Harold, it's for all the knights in Fontana. My family is in the city of Fontana, including myself and Lord Peeta, who is defending Fort Eindrad."
"... do you have to send the kids? The Kirillas have ruled the city of Kirillas as territory for generations. I want my child to grow up in this city."
"Don't do that, Harold. In Fontana territory, wives and children are decided to migrate to Fontana together. If Lord Harold suddenly breaks his promise of loyalty to Fontana, he won't be trusted."
"Gu... okay. Prepare to send my family to the city of Fontana."
"Thank you for your understanding, Harold. So let's think about what we're going to do next."
As soon as Balka was ready, ordered to crush the Ulk, he headed east.
Further northeast via Fort Eindrad, they arrived in the second city of Urk, Xylia.
Barca came to Kirilla first, but after that soldiers came from Fort Eindrad, as well as from Burma, a long-established controversy north of Eindrad that Carlos had previously dropped.
Even Kirilla's troops there would be a lot of power.
Hulk, who once had more troops to mobilize than Fontana, has halved his forces.
Not only were the hills of Eindrad and the city of Burma, which were contentious areas between the two houses, but so did Kirilla.
However, we need to deal more damage to the Uluk family before we can push it any further.
"First of all, there's something I really have to do. You understand, don't you, Lord Harold?
"... I know. Abandon your name, Ars."
"Exactly. The Xylia family will now abandon Ulk and pledge allegiance to Fontana. It naturally means you can abandon the name of Ulk and give it a name from Fontana."
"I know. I know that, Lord Ars. But could you just give me a little respite?
"... respite? You think there's something like that?
"Exactly. I must do something before I abandon Uluk's name. Could you just let me do that for the last time?"
"What must Lord Harold do? What's that?
"Persuasion. With your forgiveness, I would like to go to the territory of the Ulk and persuade my lord. I want you to surrender to Fontana."
"Are you mainly the Ulk family? That's right, but they won't agree to it. It's been a long time since we fought alongside the territory. No matter how bad things get, won't you ever get down to Fontana's gate?
"... maybe. But as it stands, the Ulk family will crush. I just want to avoid it anyway. Please, Lord Ars. Exactly. Could you give me a chance to convince him?"
Keep your head down, Harold.
If it were you, you would clearly feel that you are better qualified, but you are lowering your head against me.
Well, the Ulk family is important.
You must have lost all trust from the core of Uluk, but still be loyal.
I wondered if I could not let this get in the way.
Leon also told me to show forgiveness, and above all, if Harold's persuasion succeeds, he won't fight and the Ulk family will fall under Fontana.
I also wonder if Uluk's danger will be reduced, but it might be easier to leave the balance to Carlos and Leon.
"... I see. Lord Harold's loyalty is painfully clear to me. Very well. Harold will soon be heading to Uluk's territorial capital to persuade the Uluk family to take charge."
"Ah, thank you, Lord Ars. Thank you."
"However, there are conditions. Harold's family will be transferred to Fontana territory first. All right?
"Okay. Let's convince him."
Thus Harold took a minimal turnaround from Xylia to the Urk Territory capital.
And it was exactly that night that I was attacked.
