"Hmm. Well, I know what you want to do, but is that really necessary?
"What do you mean?
You know Ars, don't you? The kingdom of Fontana is now confronted with other aristocracy. The Linzats, the Menmen, the Percival, they might be joining forces again. "
"Oh, that's what I'm talking about. The resurrection of the Trinity Alliance."
While I was setting up Charlotte's wedding story in the east and looking for the sea in the west, there was movement around the Kingdom of Fontana.
It began to show other nobles outside the country how to fight together against the Fontana kingdom.
Apparently, even the Percival family, which lost its momentum and was greatly weakened, has rebuilt the Trinity Alliance.
I think this is probably a big inspiration for the surroundings.
The goal is to be able to spread the rumor that the alliance of three nobles that defeated the House of Resolute, which once reigned as a hegemonic aristocracy, can beat Fontana.
Moreover, the hostile Linzats and Menmen may be stepping forward to create a common enemy that will allow them to focus on Fontana with fewer resources.
And it seems that they are incorporating other nobles into the three-noble alliance and calling it the Grand Nobility Alliance.
The great name that this great aristocracy alliance is trying to bring against the Kingdom of Fontana is a lost sacred capital.
It was once the home of a church called the Sacred Capital in the southwest of King's Landing.
It was indeed a sacred place for everyone.
It seems to cry out that taking back the Holy Land is the reason to fight the Kingdom of Fontana, a jihad.
Apparently, the strict ban on fighting through the church didn't have that effect.
Rather, I grew up oiling the fire and was worried that the war might break out.
But Leon, the top of the country, seems to be handling it well.
In fact, the deal is done behind the scenes with the Menmen who are supposed to be in the Alliance of the Great Nobles.
Apparently, the Menmen who are part of the alliance have been driven out of the King's Land, but the truth is that there is something very, very harsh about it.
He looked at it and made a deal from behind to avoid joining the fight when a battle broke out.
The Menmen were aristocrats with territory to the east, and the mere fact that there was no attack from there meant a great deal.
All you have to do is concentrate on the western mainstay of the House of Rhinesatz and the Fontana Kingdom.
"Well, that's not what I'm talking about right now. There seems to be a skirmish, but Leon said it's possible to get into a big fight after next year."
"No, it's not a matter of time. We're talking about whether the whole country needs to be at the western sea when we're all united in our fight."
"I see. Well, that's probably what I think. But this is what I need to do, part-time brother."
"Necessary action?
"That's right. After the war, in some ways."
"... I don't know what you're talking about. Explain it more clearly. Why do we need to clear the west?"
"Given the current power differential, Fontana is unlikely to lose, even if the Grand Nobility Alliance is against them. The way the army works is too different. So let's say the great aristocracy alliance and the Fantana kingdom bounced back, claiming jihad and challenging it. Eventually, each nobleman who broke the church's war pact will be disposed of and their territory taken."
"Well, I don't know if I'll win or lose. You shouldn't be alarmed, Ars."
"Ha ha ha. That's right, part-time brother. It's just a hypothesis. I don't know how long it will take, but suppose the Fontana side beat the Grand Nobility Alliance and took possession of their territory. In that case, what do you think Leon would do with the territory?
"Well, don't you give it to the one who worked hard in the war?
"That's right. Even at present, the Kingdom of Fontana seems to lack the number of people in charge of the land. Even if we get more distant land there, we can't control it. That's why Leon will give land to those who were active in the war and to the aristocrats who came to Fontana without giving it to the Alliance of the Great Nobles."
"Hmm. I'm sure it will."
"So, let's assume that the battle against all the nobles was won and the fight ended. Defeat the aristocrats hostile to Fontana, take the territory, and distribute it to them. What happens next?
"Why, if you don't have anybody to fight against, then there won't be any more fighting?
"You think it's over? What if he's a part-time brother? Until then, I could have sworn and fought on the battlefield, and as a result, acquired the property of land. Are you convinced that since you defeated all your opponents and made peace, you no longer have the opportunity to be on the battlefield? What if you didn't get the territory, or if you got far less territory than you wanted?
"... well, I guess there won't be another fight anywhere. Oh, I see. In short, after all the battles, there's always someone out there who wants to fight."
"That's what it is. It may still be early to talk, but if Fontana triumphs over all the nobles, she will seek stability as a nation. Fighting is not necessary for that stability. Rather, it is important that there is no battle. But it would be a little inconvenient for nobles and knights who want land. In short, even when it comes to peace, the militants will surely emerge."
"... I see. I see. But what does that have to do with the West Sea?
"To keep the militants away from home. Those who are in trouble if there is no war despite the peace, will probably try to create a place of strife in the country when it comes to trouble. But that doesn't bother me. Then it's easiest to keep your eyes on the outside."
"Well, if there's land elsewhere, we're going to make it territory, right?
"That's right. But as it stands, where would it be? Perhaps those militants will look east. But Kyle is also married to the eastern Brillian Magic Country. It is undesirable to be a very opponent to fight. That's why I need another piece of land."
"So, is that why you said you were going to see the ocean, not why you wanted to eat fish?
"Well, it's true that I wanted to eat seafood, so it makes sense for both."
When I told my part-time brother what I thought, he apparently understood.
I didn't go across the Nelson Wetlands to see anything drunk.
It was necessary for them to know that there was a good reason for this.
Because the belligerents we talked about just now are likely to take on part-time brothers.
A part-time brother who grew up as a peasant and was active on many battlefields, gaining vast territory.
Although the personality has calmed down since childhood, it has an upward orientation, and I think it is a companion.
And my part-time brother is still in the Fontana army.
Perhaps, if a future like this comes, the militants want territory, and it's not me or Leon who cries when they want to go to battle, but I feel like a part-time brother.
My part-time brother is taking good care of me and I'm admired by him.
So, if you say, "Okay, let me handle this," my part-time brother may be in charge of the leadership of the group that tried to cause unrest in the peaceful Fontana kingdom.
I'll do my best not to do so now.
This is how we talked and told them to prevent it, and how we explored the western sea.
I talked to my part-time brother and wondered what would happen in the future.
