The harmonious Menmen are returning to their territory.

In the meantime, I'll be relieved.

The Menmen will not rush back again from now on, but they will take the risk.

Waste of money and violations of the ceasefire agreement could be detrimental to discussions in the upcoming trinity talks.

In the meantime, I will send troops to my position to take care of the Menmen.

Western surveillance will also be important.

Whether or not there will be an army using a waterway called the river, and whether or not the remnants of the House of Arrests will get in trouble.

Well, I'll leave that to Vargas and Ghana.

More than that, we have to think about the future.

Winter will come soon.

That way, snow piles up and people don't travel.

Naturally, the movement of troops will be difficult, so Fontana will be safe for now.

However, such snow protection does not last forever.

At the end of winter, the snow melts and spring begins.

At that time, we need to be able to look at the Alliance of the Three Nobles to a certain extent.

Strengthen.

That doesn't mean I'll train and get stronger.

The power in this case is only that of a territory called Fontana territory.

However, this problem is quite difficult.

Because speaking of Fontana territory is quite complicated.

The Fontana family has a territory that has cut and absorbed the former Ulk and Arbarest territories as Fontana territory.

However, I am not free to run the entire Fontana territory on behalf of the Fontana family.

I sat in a chair in the office of Carlos' castle in the city of Fontana with a warm drink in my mouth as I sighed.

And I decided to sort this Fontana territory out in my head once more.

The current Fontana Territory refers to the land that brings together the three territories of the former Fontana Territory and the former Urk Territory and the former Arrestian Territory.

The lord of this Fontana realm is Garold, a child left behind by the late Carlos.

However, Garold is still a very young child who cannot get into politics.

So I needed something to run the administration in place of the gallows.

I slipped into my position as the proxy for the job.

Carlos died before anyone else, and it was because he acted faster than anyone else.

To tell the truth, this is a cross piece that shouldn't have been possible.

Because even though Carlos died, the people who had worked with Carlos as his direct reports remained fairly in Fontana.

Normally, it is desirable to take over Carlos' work from among those who have worked with Carlos.

However, I took Gallo's identity and forcefully took the position of proxy.

Well, I was married to Carlos' half-sister, Lilina, and I have a connection and a track record in Fontana territory.

Some of you may be dissatisfied, but at least on the surface, you continue to work on my instructions.

In that sense, I could say that I replaced Carlos, who was assembling Fontana territory.

But there are things Carlos can't do about the territory.

It came from our relationship with the knight.

There is the Fontana domain, the main Fontana family that puts it together, but in fact there are several Knights in it.

For example, if Carlos was a Vulcan knight when he was still alive, then so were Peeta's Eindrad territory and Ghana's Ike territory.

The Lord who assembles territory can issue orders to knights in his territory.

However, the knights who rule the land have sole discretion as to how each Knight Regiment operates.

The knight who rules each knight's realm is free to decide what kind of place to open up in the realm to increase the number of fields, or to order the common people to pay any taxes.

Regarding the internal affairs within the knight's realm, even if there is a Fontana family lord, it is not possible to speak freely.

No, we may be able to do that, but a dissatisfied knight could rebel in Fontana territory or try to leave Fontana.

Therefore, in general, we have only enough power to order each Knight Regent to pay tax on Fontana and to mobilize troops in the event of an incident.

In short, the Fontana family is unexpectedly less powerful.

To put it further, I am not a dictator who can do anything, even though I have become the principal deputy and I have more power than ever before.

If you act too recklessly to protect Fontana's territory, some will rebel against it, and Fontana could fall apart from it.

However, Carlos was also thinking about it and was doing something about it.

Especially after Raymond's sudden death, Carlos only suddenly consolidated his territory, and he was trying to bring power to the main player named Carlos.

Once a Raymond and acting as an anti-Carlos, the Knight's territory was confiscated and much of it was under the control of the Fontana family.

He has also ordered the families of the knights who will rule all over the city to relocate to Fontana.

Though I would never abandon my wife and child, for many knights, the children who were sent to live in the city of Fontana were worthy of being held hostage.

Because when a knight dies, he often inherits the magic pass under that knight and is the eldest son of Fontana.

I was able to get these legacies from Carlos on behalf of Garold.

The direct control of the Fontana family is free to conduct mining and distribution on behalf of the current party.

On the other hand, each Knight Regiment may be ordered to do so unless it is an imprudent order.

Then let's do something we've never been able to do before.

Not Ars von Barca, the Knight of Barca leader, but Ars von Barca, the Fontana family's principal proxy.

So I decided to start a new operation before winter.

Make Fontana territory stronger to protect it, and thus to keep me safe.

I decided to implement a policy to that end.
