"... so... What do we do, Kyle? Fontana, do you want to send a rescue request to your home country?
Now I'm talking to Kyle about what I talked to Leon about in Fontana City.
Once again, we used the Transfer Magic Team to move to Reed territory to the south.
I've been traveling frequently lately and I think I'm pretty busy.
I told Kyle what Leon said and decided to see how Kyle would move in the future.
Leon's idea was very reasonable from the standpoint of the Fontana Kingdom.
Return inheritance to King Doren to his rightful throne.
Then, we deal with King Sigma Doren, who won such a throne, on favorable terms for Fontana.
Most of the opponents will argue that this will not restore their inheritance rights unless they actually show a willingness to accept the transaction.
But if we do that, the nobles, the Rhinesats, or other independent nobles who remain in the King's Land will rebel.
And the rebellion is headed towards Fontana, but it is clear that it will be the nearest leader to King's Landing.
How does House Reed survive it?
If you decide to send a request to the Fontana army, it will prove to yourself that the leader is powerless, and it will create a debt for the Fontana side, and you may be told a lot about it in the future.
Kyle must act with that in mind.
I asked Kyle to confirm it from his mouth.
"Um, so far, I don't think we're going to be sending a rescue request to the Fontana army. Looks like we haven't seen anything in the King's Land yet. Still, you'll need to be prepared."
"What if the other person moves?
"In that case, we might make a rescue request. But I don't think that's the Fontana army."
"... okay. Then I'll just be ready, Kyle."
Confirm Kyle's intentions.
Kyle basically said he wasn't going to ask for help from the Fontana army.
Yeah, that would be nice.
You don't have to make a debt to Royal Fontana.
The relationship between royalty and nobility that make up the kingdom.
It may be easy to compare to a shopping street.
King Fontana is the chairman of the Fontana shopping street, and the owner of the shop that opens the shop in the shopping street feels noble.
The chairman is supposed to take the lead on the management of the entire shopping district, which is recognized by each store.
However, each store is only owned by a noble person who owns it, and it is considered an ultra vires act for the chairman to stick his mouth in the management policy of the store.
That's why Leon said to House Reed, "I'll help him if he calls for help."
Regardless of the situation of store management, it is the responsibility of each store, and it is never a good question that the Kingdom of Fontana will come up with a rush.
And on the contrary, the same was true of the rescue request.
Where to ask for help when House Reed is in crisis.
It is determined only by Kyle, the leader of the house.
It's not like we absolutely have to ask Royal Fontana for help.
Apparently Kyle is not going to rely much on Fontana.
So where can I get help?
At these times, the first thing you need help with is your blood-separated brother.
"Then you'd better take this as a good opportunity. Big lead, Kyle?
"That's right. I mean, that was the intention from the beginning, wasn't it, Mr. Ars? Weren't you thinking of growing House Reed to protect the future of House Barca?
Sort of. I don't know what's going to happen to the Barca family or my son Alford or his descendants. "
When it comes to it, Kyle will turn to Vulca for help, not the Fontana army.
And we won't say no to that.
We may be able to help the lead family led by Kyle and expand the lead territory at once.
I don't think it will fix it, but it will also help the future of the Balkans.
The future of the Balkans.
That's what I've been thinking since I handed over my governor to my son Alford.
I can't help wondering what future my children and their descendants will follow.
And when I thought about that future, I didn't have a very good image.
Barca's track record in making the Fontana family an independent kingdom and a great force.
It would also be a welcome and an obstacle for other nobles and knights in the Kingdom of Fontana.
I always wondered what would happen if I died in some way and left the world.
In that case, would the Balkans suck all the way from those around them who are allies to the bone marrow?
Using your hands, I'll give you a reason and take it away.
For example, there are a lot of things you want from other people, such as Balka Bank, Magic Train, Magic Airship, Atmosphere, Heaven Vulcania, etc.
What happens if the Balkans fail and recede in their political struggle?
The descendants of Ars Barca, who rose by force alone and claimed so many lives, will not be put at risk?
Originally a peasant, he could be murdered.
That's what I think.
So what should we do to avoid it?
One would be for me to live long.
Perhaps using Healing will free me from my lifespan and allow me to live longer than the Apostle of God.
But I can't confirm whether it really is so at this time.
In fact, it's just a little harder to age than others, and I can't deny the possibility that the body is actually getting older.
Above all, immortality does not mean immortality even in old age.
There is a good chance that something will kill you.
If only there were enough power to defend the future of the Balkans, even if the nobles around them say something to protect themselves.
But that's why I was reluctant to add more Balkan territory in vain.
I have strength and experience in the Fontana kingdom. If I increase the territory more and more to protect myself, what will the surroundings think of it?
Maybe you're thinking of something bad instead of Royal Fontana.
There was a danger of that.
Therefore, we have not proactively increased the territory of the Balkans until now.
Given my track record so far, I was told that it was not strange to have more territory, but I have nevertheless held back the expansion of the territory and worked in technological development and so on.
But the situation has also changed.
Because Kyle, the leader of the House of Leads, was given the freedom to cut off territory directly from a king named Garord.
Kyle's presence without attack magic is subtle even in Fontana.
With its convenient magic, Kyle has performed well as a general when working in the Fontana army.
However, there was no such thing as the Reed family, and basically there was nothing to see but Kyle's personal ability.
Therefore, the nobles and knights in Fontana who are putting the Barca family at risk do not care as much as the Reed family tries to increase their territory.
There will be no way not to use this.
If we can increase the Reed's territory here and become a major force in Fontana, it will also benefit the Vulcans.
Having a powerful leader in the country as a pro-Balka leader should lead to the protection of my descendants.
Well, there's nothing I can say, but I'll have to leave it to the descendants at that time.
Anyway, all we could do now was defend the free lead and be prepared to increase it.
So I agreed with Kyle, and then I decided to focus on strengthening Leadership.
