Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 3. Towards the Capital City (3)

To be more precise, it was a wheelchair that nobody pushed, but was moving alone. And Lycaen smiled and said, thinking about what he might look like last night.

“They say it's magic.”

“Magic?”

“Apparently, they use Mana to get the wheelchair moving. I don't know exactly how. ”

It was said to be innate. Mana piles up inside his body, even though he doesn't have any training. As soon as he thinks about it, Mana reacts and moves. And that managing power is the power that comes from being crippled.

“I see.”

Elisha nods, not concealing her surprised expression, as Lycaen asks.

“Anyway, take an interest and watch. ”

“Yes?”

“Earl Gronst says he has a very good political sense. That means it could overlap with your realm. And even if magic has nothing to do with politics, it can't be bad to be careful who has two talents in one body. ”

Elisha was originally a secret negotiator of the emperor Criotes. And while I decided to work for Lycaen, what I still had to do was negotiate in secret.

And the political work of Earl Grontes, who will be in charge of the future, involves negotiation. Even if you are not a secret negotiator, you are bound in one realm, so you may overlap with Elisha or bump into her.

Elisha tilts her head for a moment, then carefully asks.

“But you... seemed quite fond of Earl Gronst. ”

“Yes? Of course. We were supposed to be friends yesterday. ”

“But why are you telling me to be careful about him? ”

“I'm sure you'll like him. I thought I could be a good friend in the future. But his brother, Shylon……. ”

“Something wrong? ”

“It's not weird, it's suspicious. ”

“Yes?”

When Elisha asks if she doesn't understand, Lycaen lowers her voice.

“He never hid from the deep end of the erl. He suddenly decided to help you with a clear face. What do you think of this? ”

“It means... there's been a change of heart." ”

“So much so that it completely reverses its own tendency. ”

Elisha nods, giving you a sense of reason.

“And in those cases, it's more likely that it's a negative change than a positive change. ”

“Causing extreme behavior changes is often a shift in thinking……. ”

Lycaen mutters, staring at Shylon on the wagon with the help of his servants.

“Without going crazy. ”

Elisha nods slowly after giving a meaningful nod.

“I'll be going, then. ”

It was a bad move for Elisha, a secret negotiator, to move with Lycaen and expose her to the outside. And originally we were going to move separately from Caventes Porto.

But then, all of a sudden, we moved here together because of his invitation. Of course, it happened during the recurring period, but it was mostly on Likayenne's intentions.

Though Earl Gronst may be an enemy or a friend, it is clear that a close relationship will form in some way, as long as he invites himself. In such cases, showing the secret side can have quite a variety of effects on someone.

And now that you're heading to the capital, it's better to move separately from Elisha. It is because there is a difference between showing a secret side to an individual and showing it to many.

Julia, who's going to move in together for Elisha's escort, bows her head.

“I'll go and wait for you first. ”

“Be careful. Don't fight.”

It reminds me of when Yulia slapped Elisha on the cheek in Kwentium, the capital of the Empire. Then Elisha smiles and says.

“Hmmm! It's easy for women to hate each other, but surprisingly, it's easy for them to get along." ”

“That's a relief. Have a good day.”

With a short greeting, Julia and Elisha take their first steps. Then Lycaen heads for the wagon.

“Nice greeting. Is that lady with the mask... ”

“If you're going to ask me if I have a hidden lover, I'll take one. ”

“Huh! How long has it been since I had a friend? ”

“If you're right, you should be. What do you think, Shylon? ”

Lycaen tosses the lead story to Shylon.

“Well, he's my older brother... but there's also the word" hawk "in white. ”

“What? Haha, this guy... ”

Caith tries to say something with a serious betrayal look on his face, but Lycaen cuts it off.

“I thought you were better than him. ”

“I really... ”

Dunbane, who was waiting by the wagon on his horse, looks inward as he makes a joke.

“I'll be going, Earl. ”

Caith nods and says to the two knights standing in front of the wagon.

“Let's go!”

Two at the front of the wagon, three at the left, including Dunbane, and two at the rear. A total of seven knights from Earl Gronst escorted the wagon. And on the right is Wolf, Tom and Jack.

But Wolf looks at Tom and Jack, tilting the Federation's head with an awkward look.

It's because Tom and Jack were looking around with straight waists and sharp eyes. It seemed odd to me that I was Tom, who usually went around in quite a touchy posture, whether it was Wolf influence. Jack was also quite muddled, though not as much as Tom. Wolf eventually asked.

“What's wrong with you people? ”

In a hurry, Tom was furious with the words and was impressed with Wolf. Then, without making a sound, he just says something with his mouth closed.

Of course, there's no way Wolf can understand a word he can't hear.

“Are you picking on me? ”

Eventually, a small sound popped out of Tom's mouth.

“Tongue, brother! Mal, watch your language! ”

“Huh?"

“Hey, hey! ”

Tom pointed to Dunbane and the knights escorting him from the other side of the wagon.

“What about them? ”

And Tom pounds his chest with his fist as if he was desperate.

Ultimately, Wolf grimaced his face and said in a terrifying and intimidating voice.

“Are these assholes messing with me? You want to die?"

“Can't you see the knights over there? ”

“So what? ”

“Ahh! It's so different from us. Hey, look at that tall, treacherous gesture, sharp eyes. ”

Earlier, Wolf realized that Earl Gronst's knights were wary of everything in a very different manner than he was badly touched.

But that's it.

“So what? ”

“If we don't do that, we're too compared. ”

“Shit, all you had to do was do the right thing. What's the point of posture? ”

“By the way, when compared to the other Knights, our Earl's face... ”

“Bastards with shit on their heads! ”

Suddenly, a curse popped out of Wolf's mouth. And Tom and Jack's face turned into a reflection. What Wolf said was clearly directed at them, but it could be interpreted as insulting to Earl Gronst's knights.

Unfortunately, Wolf was quite indifferent.

“Is my Earl picking on that? Do your job, you bastards!”

The wagon was not speeding. The escort knights, of course, were also at a reasonable speed, and I heard their stories in the wagon as well as from the knights across the street.

The Knights who heard Wolf's story couldn't have looked so good. Especially, Dunbane's face, which is dominating the knights, has turned quite cold.

However, a cold smile appeared on Dunbane's face, looking at the Wolf across from him through the spear of the wagon facing each other for a moment. A clearly contemptuous smile.

In the eyes of Lycaen, sitting in the wagon, Dunbane smiles. Liga smiled as well.

Sounds like fun.

Chapter 4. Changes in politics (1)

A man with dark brown hair with sparse gray hair muttered, shining a sharp eye.

“You've come this time, right? ”

A cold voice like a well-sharpened blade. Earl Belion Eisen was the most powerful man in the current Brent Kingdom, except for the king.

The man standing in front of him, Earl Eisen's underling, Dobell nods and adds an explanation.

“But I have company. ”

“With you?”

“Yes, I'm here with Earl Gronst. ”

“Earl Gronst? ”

“Looks like they got into the capital in a nice wagon. ”

“Hmm... Were they really that close? ”

“It is well known that not long ago, there was no one-way meal. ”

Earl Eigen tilts his head.

“By the way, if you suddenly become close, you mean there's something concordance between the two? And that match is also.... ”

Dobell has spoken to the Earl.
