In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 98 The fifth, and the establishment of a new nation.
All the soldiers who had fallen to the Imperial capital were captured and put in dungeons. They say they will be stripped of their military ranks and will be inquisited to sin on them. I thought it might be a heavy sin, except for some of the fans, but (kicking the surrender recommendation and becoming a renegade to the emperor of his own volition, so I can naturally say) that seems to punish him quite well. It would be better if it wasn't just the death penalty.
The emperor immediately gave instructions to turn the soldiers from the cities throughout the empire one by one to the Empire. As it is, there is no one to control the crimes of the Imperial capital. I'm sure there will be people out there who are confused and commit crimes.
Seems the heavy ministers who had been captured were also opened up. The Crown Prince, who had been hidden with General Romero, also came to the castle. I was so surprised to see me. I knew I was a knight then.
You think the soldiers attacked you, straying from the escorts on your way out of the castle in disguise?
What if I told you, but you're not impressed, this guy. You don't have a presence? He seems like a good guy, and he's pretty good at it.
"I really took care of you this time. The Winter Night Hall is not only the benefactor of the rest of life, but also the princess and the crown prince... no, it can also be the benefactor of the empire. I'd like to thank you for something, but do you have any hope?
"No, I mean the flow of this one, or it just happened on the go. Never mind."
I gently refuse His Majesty the Emperor's offer to meet me in the VIP room. Honestly, I don't have anything in particular that I want. Hearing that, King Belfast, who was present, laughs small.
"It's no different, what about the Winter Night Hall? Even Belfast tried to give a title to the Winter and Night Palace, but this is how they turned it down. After all, they just received the money and the house. Well, it was best if you got me a daughter."
"Ho. Then I wonder if the rest of you can get Lucia. If we were to marry Belfast and Leggles, both princesses, there would be no more symbolic presence in the alliance between the two nations."
"You know..."
The story seemed to go in a strange direction, so I tried to draw your attention, but from the side Yumina raised her hand and interrupted the story. Huh? What?
"I agree that Princess Lucia, like us, will be Mr. Winter Night's fiancée. I'm checking with her personally, but she wants it, too. Above all because of the friendship between the two countries, I wonder if this is a good edge"
Huh? What are you saying, Mr. Yumina!?
"Oh, I agree"
"... so am I."
Don't worry about the awkward.
The other fiancées also express their agreement one after the other. Brutus, you too!? I mean, what if my will isn't taken into account at all!?
"Wait, please! Why are you in such a flow!?
I couldn't keep up with the story and accidentally raised my voice, but Mr. Lion replied with a bitter smile to it.
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
"Huh? What do you mean?
"I know about this one, but the power of the Winter Night Hall is out of standard in everything. If the bearer of such power shoulders only one country, it is only a threat as another. Conversely, there is a risk that Belfast will be considered dangerous. But if you were also engaged to the princess of the Empire, you could at least make excuses to another country that Belfast wasn't the only one... well, this one thinks"
"The Empire is an empire, and oddly enough, we can form a reciprocal alliance without the Winter Night Palace being used to trade politics, right?
Mr. Lion's words are taken over by Mr. Gaspar, the one-eyed Knights of the Empire. No, I don't know what you're talking about. But come on!
When I look at Lou, I look at him with a red face. No, uhh...
"You haven't changed four or five more. What do you need to worry about now!?
"That's good..."
General Leon comes banging me on the back with the same force. Surely there's no reason to disagree... We've only met for two days!? It would be too rapid!
... Is that it? Was that the day we met in Yumina? So there's no problem... there's no problem?
"How's the princess? Don't you want to marry me to the Winter Night Hall?
"No, Father. I'm going to faint because I'm so happy! I've never been happier! Happy to go to Winter Night to your daughter-in-law!
With his nose rough and his hands combined in front of his chest, he turns his sparkling eyes this way. Ah...... I'm starting to feel like this is useless no matter what I say.
I don't know, people in this world have a light view of marriage... I guess I'm not taking it lightly. It's a painful part of being in another world like this...
"I don't know. Wouldn't you get me Lucia?
"Ha... Marriage will wait until I'm 18, if that's all right..."
Well, I don't even have to wait until 18, but there's a slight resistance there, or something.
Shh, shuddering, Lou joins the circle of the Yuminas. We'll get along soon......
"Apart from that, of course, I'll let you give me some as a thank you. Either way, now we can form an alliance between Belfast and the Empire as a reciprocal relationship."
It would be amazing to think about the Emperor's words in advance. Will this have led to the formation of alliances between Belfast, Mismid, Leaf Lease, Regulus and most of the western countries of the continent?
"By the way, at this time, I wonder if we should officially announce both our engagement to Yumina and our engagement to the Princess of Lucia at home and abroad, but then we will need the identity of the Winter Night Hall. So after consulting with Emperor Leggles, we decided to divide and transfer territory from both countries to the Winter Night Hall"
"... what do you mean?
I don't know what you're talking about. Does that mean you'll give me territory? Honestly, I can't govern if I get that stuff and I'm in trouble......
"It's not your territory, it's an assignment. In other words, build a small country on the border between Leggles and Belfast. And as the king there, I ask you to reign in the Winter and Night Palace, so to speak."
"Ha!?
Founding a country, you make a country!? I'm the king!?
"Well, even when it comes to the country, the people are only inside the Winter Night Palace. But even if it is small, it will not be tied to the laws of Belfast or Leggles any more than it is an independent country. Behind that founding shield will be both countries, and of course shall be inviolable. Whatever happens in that country, this one doesn't interfere in any way. Freedom of the Winter Night Hall. This will be no problem for you in your position, and you will be fit to marry the princesses of both countries"
Is that like the Vatican City Country? Or would it feel like some principality? Either way, can I get one country?
"Winter and Night Hall, can you show me the map?
"Huh? Oh, yes. Map View"
"Copy. Display Shimas"
I can't grasp the situation in the king's words. I'm told to keep the map in the air.
Belfast on the left hand and Leggles on the right. The king pointed to the border.
"Between the two countries the Merician Mountains stretch about two-thirds from the north, underneath which it becomes a sprawling zone of forests and plains. It is a rich land, but there are also many warcraft here. So we avoid this place, and further south, there are bilateral trading routes. divide this plain zone from the two countries and establish it as an independent nation"
Hey, didn't I just say there are a lot of Warcraft or something!?
"You want me to live in such a dangerous place?
"You don't have to live there, though. However, the region will be treated as an independent country in the future. If so, our country can't help anything. Extreme story, even if the bandits build Negijo here and do whatever they want, we just have to look at it with our fingers around. You're enough to protest the Winter Night Hall, the king, that you can."
King and Emperor laughing niggardly. It's not dirty, it's like you were responsible for eliminating the dangers of the trade route. If we form an alliance, there will be frequent movement of people between the two countries from now on. This is why you asked me to do something about that danger zone to take care of that safety.
"I feel like I'm being fooled..."
"No, no, no. I'm sure the land is rich, and quite large as national soil. If this is a safe zone, people can safely use the trading route, and the Winter Night Hall can get land and identity. Don't be nice."
Yes, it is. I feel like they're doing something good. Are you telling Dada that these people are not monarchs of a single country? There is no loophole. Both of them are about to be killed by their subordinates.
Um, I wonder if that's a bad story. If you do get two princesses, I know you're not quite like that. It's better because it's just not a hassle without the people. And I knew it was fascinating to have a land of your choice.
"I get it. You just have to make the land safe, right? I'll do it."
"I'm sorry. After that, with the back shield of both countries, you can declare the establishment of the new state in an official statement. Countries in alliance with both countries will approve."
State-building hey... Not really pinned though. Well, nothing yet. Do you want to build a castle when you're done?
"Are you a king at last...... The awkward husbands are amazing."
"Hey, I never thought I'd be here before."
Yae and Else face each other. I didn't think so either... It's flushing.
"... the name of the country, what do you do?
Lindsay asks me. [M] Um, country name... Like Hope Moon Country? Wow, embarrassing! That's the only dismissal. Like the Duchy of Nihon? Is Lu bad? Japan, Zipang...... Mm-hmm. You don't have anything like this. Ah.
"Brunhild...... I guess. The Principality of Brunhild"
"Brunhild is the name of the weapon Mr. Winter Night has, isn't it?
"Yeah. Probably originally based on the War Maiden's name,"
The Principality of Brunhild. Doesn't sound bad to me. Well, it's a country that's nothing to say principality, and it's like a land name, so you probably don't care that much.
"The Principality of Brunhild, huh? Not bad. The Kingdom of Belfast supports the founding of the Principality of Brunhild and approves it as an ally"
"The Leggles Empire as well"
"Approval, if we make this place safe, right?
How big is this place? I'll check on the smartphone so everyone doesn't know. I tried to instruct them to specify a range and determine an area.
"S at about 410 square kilometers"
I honestly don't know if they say... How big is Tokyo Ward 23, for example? Search Search...... er... 621 sq km......
Huh!? About two-thirds of Tokyo Ward 23 is yours!? Hiro!!
