"As long as King Doren returns to the throne of the royal family, there is nothing more to be pleased about. If that's how it works, let's whip this old bone all the way. Thank you very much."
Joseph lowers his head against me.
I wonder how prepared you are.
He is a man of famous nobility who has served the Doren royal family for many years.
From that person's point of view, I only look like a peasant riser.
Moreover, once I cut off the messengers sent by the royal family against the Fontana family, I fought against the Doren family.
To put it mildly, my presence is no different from that of Naja from the Royal Doren side.
Even so, from an urban point of view called the King's Metropolitan Area, it should only appear to be a local country person or a weed of that kind.
Even so, I feel that it is unusual to lower my head.
"Raise your head, Joseph. It is possible to restore the lost inheritance of the Doren royal family. And I'm not going to refuse it. Because magic inheritance should return to its rightful owner."
"Thank you."
"But there are conditions."
"... what is it?
"Settlement with the Doren royal family. That is the condition for restoring inheritance rights."
"Settlement?
"That's right, Joseph. I once fought the Doren royal family with the knights as the current proxy for the Fontana family. And after winning the battle, the Fontana family became independent and built a nation. But even though we had no choice in the circumstances, we never wanted to point a sword at the Doren royal family."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I wonder who sent the messenger back then was wrong. What he said made the relationship worse and led to something like that. I am well aware that there was never an agreement between Royal Doren and the Fontana family. After all, Carlos, who became the ancestral king of the kingdom of Fontana, was able to improve his predecessors, King Doren."
"Thank you for saying that. Exactly. Unfortunately, the two were at odds. And the relationship is still not fully restored. But it shouldn't last forever."
That's right. So, when you restore your inheritance to King Doren, you and King Fontana will reconcile and restore your relationship. "
"Exactly, Joseph. That's right. The sacred capital is also being rebuilt. So, to some extent, when the Holy City comes into operation, how about you have Cardinal Mirialia, the chief administrator of the Holy City, stand between you and do it?
"Yes, it's cheap. To that extent, I will return to King's Landing immediately and persuade my surroundings."
Kaiser Valkyrie holds the current throne of the Doren royal family.
In returning it, I made a deal.
Recovering the inheritance rights will not give way to the Doren royal family.
So, if I wanted to hang it, I could hang it as much as I wanted, and the calculation worked in my head.
But I decided not to push too hard.
Of course, you can do that, but there's not much you want to squeeze out of the current Doren royal family.
So I decided once to repair the hostile relationship and make up for it.
I wonder if this makes sense at first glance.
Certainly, the visible value is not clear.
but I see that it probably has quite a variety of ripple effects.
First of all, the most important thing is to earn time.
Joseph must persuade his surroundings to deal with us in order for the Doren royal family to regain their right to inheritance.
King Doren, who currently bears the name of the king, and the people around him, as well as the nobles and knights who will become the Doren royal family, will be easily persuaded to say anything.
But some of them are difficult to convince.
It is the Reinzatz family, the hegemonic aristocracy.
It is the House of Rheinzats that has lost power, but still supports the presence of the Doren royal family.
We are expelling and liberating the Menmen who occupied King's Landing and rescuing the devastated King's Landing.
For the House of Reinzatz, however, the existence of the House of Reid, which suddenly appeared on the ruins of the Holy City, would be an obstacle.
Perhaps, but I think they will attack us as soon as the snow melts.
But if House Rheinzatz and House Reed, and hence the Kingdom of Fontana, are at war, the Doren family will be in trouble.
I want to regain my inheritance as soon as possible, but I don't want to be attacked by the dealer.
Therefore, Joseph must persuade the Lindsatz family.
The Fontana kingdom and the Doren royal family must reconcile and tell them not to attack because they are no longer hostile.
An injunction issued by the church for just one name.
And apart from that, the reconciliation and ceasefire with the kingdom of Fontana that Royal Doren wants.
Ignoring that, the Lindsatz family will not be able to move.
As expected, the deal was just right because I thought the Reed family would be too powerful to fight other aristocratic allies by spring.
And a settlement with the Doren royal family could also be a bargaining ground with other nobles.
The Doren royal family, which once obeyed all the nobles.
The presence of the Fontana family, which created an independent kingdom against the Doren royal family, was hardly acceptable to other nobles.
But what happens when Royal Doren reconciles with Fontana and acknowledges that his independence and the Fontana family are kings?
Two authorities, the Church and the Doren royal family, will officially recognize Fontana as a king.
Moreover, it is a good relationship that is not hostile to the Doren royal family.
If so, wouldn't it be easier for the aristocrats who had not been under Fontana to enter the Fontana kingdom with various gestures?
In other words, this settlement may make it easier to manipulate other nobles.
Therefore, the true aim of this deal is not just to reconcile.
Originally, we could have an opponent who was supposed to be the enemy all around House Reed.
Perhaps we can turn things upside down like Othello.
And it wasn't me who did it, but an old man named Joseph who was happy to talk together in front of me.
Try to convince me, Mr. Joseph.
I'm not so interested in Royal Doren's magic anymore.
I was using horns to secure the western jungle, but it's also a little off.
I was able to make a deal with a hand that wouldn't hurt even if I lost it, and I unexpectedly smiled and shook Joseph's hand.
