Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Yes, what were you thinking about doing that? It couldn't have been easy to do such a dangerous thing as an heir. ”

“I just felt less frustrated about running in person than I was watching. ”

“Hehe, I heard you played a decisive role in winning and losing wars, not just running around? ”

“All I got was the courage of the Sausan knights and soldiers. Sosin got the ball just because he was there. ”

“Haha, I see. In fact, Jim was at war with the Luo Kingdom in his time as a prince. Records show that I've established quite a majors, but I've actually seen the benefits of knights and soldiers as well. ”

“The story of His Majesty's solitary rescue of knights and soldiers in battle during the time of the Prince is a record long time left for the warriors of our kingdom. ”

“Hahaha, do you even know that story? Anyway, I'm very pleased to have such a young and talented servant. ”

“I am grateful that you have given me such a low opinion. ”

The king, who heard Lycaen's answer, nods faintly with a happy expression. I closed my mouth at the same time.

‘Hmm... What do you mean? ’

Lycaen chews on the conversation he just had, keeping his mouth shut in the silence of the king. It was because the attitude of the king was strange no matter how much he thought.

‘The king must have a close relationship with Earl Eigen...? ’

And he destroyed Prince Leon, one of Earl Eigen's great money-strings. Of course, some of the vast funds gathered for Earl Eigen would have flowed to the king.

In other words, even for the king, he is the one who has twisted one of his money strings. It means you can't treat yourself with good feelings like you do now.

Then, how should we interpret this friendly attitude that the King is about to send out?

No matter how much I looked at it, the attitude of the king was not pretentious. Rather, it was quite honest. If so, there was only one conclusion that could be prioritized.

‘I want something from me...' ’

Then the king opened his mouth again.

“From what I hear, Earl Eisenhower says he doesn't have a good eye for Lord Procurus. ”

“Everyone's arm is supposed to roast inside, right? I think it's inevitable that I have an uncomfortable relationship with someone close to me. ”

“Haha, but since they're both my servants, how can I stand to see them like that? ”

“But you never change your mind, do you? I think we need more time. ”

“No. I've been thinking about telling my silent story to Earl Eigen. ”

At that moment, Lycaen's expression widened.

What the hell are you trying to do? ’

It really is a divination. It is not the end of a line that expresses affection. Perhaps the Earl Eisen who has been holding hands with him is reluctant to leave a deposit of uncomfortable emotions in his mouth.

If you've come this far, you can first think about one thing.

Is there a crack between you and Earl Eisenhower? ’

Other things to think about are the cracks between the king and Earl Eisen, but as you can see, what the king is saying to himself is clearly true.

‘To the king, Earl Eigen is no longer a useless Hand...' ’

But there was still something I didn't understand.

The king requires nobles to support his intentions. Of course, in the Kingdom of Bren, where there is a powerful central government system, the king will not be able to achieve what he desires. However, there is a big difference between being supported by the local nobles and being driven to work.

After all, with the Earl Eigen out of alignment, there was only one choice the king could make if he wanted to find someone to take his side again. It involves engaging Earl Romon, who has repeatedly rebelled against Earl Eigen and is making his own way.

There is no reason to attract a young nobleman who is isolated without power like Lycaen.

‘Is this why you called me so urgently? ’

Now the king's offer is to lend a hand. Nod his head to hold the king's hand, and to refuse was to spray his hand.

‘How do I...? ’

It is now a very attractive offer to enter within the royal fence as it is necessary to inherit the title and take possession of the territory.

But Lycaen's concerns were not that long.

“If His Majesty were to present the matter between Count Sohn and Earl Eigen, it would be a tribute. I think it might be uncomfortable for Earl Eisenhower to do that. If Earl Eisenhower were to eat a disloyal heart, it would be a great sin for him in the view of the complaint. So, please don't talk right now. ”

It was a gentle but clear refusal. He also expressed that his relationship with Earl Eigen was never friendly, by choosing words that might feel negative about him. In other words, I will stand at a completely mediocre position, neither here nor there.

And the king's face was slightly stiff. But you can't express your emotions directly in a position like this.

“Haha, Lord Prokers is very independent. Are they now willing to take over their territory without any help, even though they have just ascended to the throne? ”

“If you're so kind to me, I can only accept it as a defender. If it is said that His Majesty, who needs to look after all of his officials, is bringing someone closer to him, then there may be dissatisfaction among the other officials. We are oblivious to the fact that you have counted the short thoughts of Sosin. ”

Again, the king understood what Lycaen meant. Riccianne said that the king had suppressed the other noble tribes in favor of Earl Eigen.

“Haha, that could be it. The state council would have been a mess. ”

The king who hid his heart suddenly said with a smile like the first time. However, Lycaen was able to sense the cold energy that was flying towards her.

‘Something is definitely wrong.... ’

King Kellius was a man who had volunteered to go to war before he became crowned prince. And the progressive nature comes from the intense desire to conquer that resides deep in the heart of the king.

The essence of man can only be revealed in the depths of his eyes, his tone, his habits, and his actions. And in that regard, the appearance of the king now was clearly strange.

If the king had known so far, he would not have said in secret or laughed so much about his proposal being rejected.

“Earl Frost is free to retreat. ”

At the king's command, Lycaen carefully rises to his knees and bows his head, as if for the first time.

“Sosin, I'll step back now. ”

Meanwhile, the king rises up and steps toward the door of the throne room. Then, just before the door opened, he said to Lycaen,

“After the first story, Lord Procures seems to be the type to move soldiers directly from the battlefield... I'm sure he'll be looking forward to it. ”

“Just give me the order, Your Majesty. ”

* * *

“Where did those things that don't have blood on their heads just come in... and they really wanted to die? Huh?”

“Knng, Knng...! ”

“Grrrgh!”

I heard a painful groaning in the murmuring of my voice.

“Why don't you go over there and get it? You blue knights! Huh? ”

Wolf.

And the two in front of the Wolf. Tom and Jack groan with their heads planted on the ground.

“Aren't you going to answer? ”

Jack buries his head in Wolf's words and opens his mouth with difficulty.

“But... it's true we're too formal, right? ”

Obviously, the usual look of Wolf, Tom and Jack was more like a local thug than a knight. I can't find such things as my robust body, my manners as a subnoble, and my frequently spoken knights even after washing my eyes. Horses always have a foul tone and sometimes a mixture of insults, and they always have their legs on their feet, and they move by touching their shoulders.

But Wolf asked again as if he wasn't interested in it at all.

“So? So what? ”

“Gee, it's not a story, it's like a local thug. You can't do that. ”

“Shit, why would those guys come and get it now? ”

This time, Tom said.

“That's it... I didn't know that until now. ”

Only two men in the Knights of Earl Procus were familiar with the actual skill and formality of the Knights.

The rest of them were taken directly from the soldiers and became knights by protruding walls to their deaths. Anton and Julia were also mercenaries and then knights. I never learned the proper thing about knight formalities.

Then, for the first time, I noticed that it was according to other knights' formalities, so I was intimidated by their differences.

Jack asks like Tom says.

“Weren't you okay with seeing the Gronst knights? ”

Even though he was still planting his head, Wolf sighed for a long time without even knowing it. However, I suddenly had the wrong idea in my head.

‘You've improved your stamina. The erl's training is amazing... ’
