Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

And since then, the two of them have been here for a long time, maintaining a kind of alliance. And now the king wants to defeat Earl Eigen. This could have caused a catastrophic tectonic shift in the regime of Bren Kingdom.

Caith, who was making a serious face, suddenly asked.

“But why you? If you abandon Earl Eisen, isn't he next? ”

“I don't understand. ”

“What happened, by the way? What's he gonna do to you? ”

Caith looks curious. Then Ricaien smiled and replied.

“Heheh heh, I dared... to sprinkle it. ”

“What? Mi, are you crazy? What a great gift...... ”

Lycaen shouted in surprise at Caith, without waiting.

“Holding that hand is crazy. ”

“Huh?"

“Would you have reached out to me for no reason? ”

“Well, something's not right. No, I mean, you don't even have a rat. I'm not rich, either. ”

“Hehe, well, you have a lot of money. Anyway, you suddenly reached out to me for a reason. ”

Caith nods, thinking the same thing.

“I'm sure it is. By the way, Earl Eisenhower has been opening his mouth lately and he says he's holding back. ”

Lycaen, however, tells the opposite of Caith's story.

“Seemed to be looking for a hand for war. ”

“Huh?! Did you not just hear me? Earl Eisenhower says you can't talk about war. ”

“I don't know what that means, but I keep bringing up my territory stories when I talk to you. Plus, when you were in the war, until the end. ”

“Yeah? Well, maybe you're a little known for it? ”

Lycaen shakes his head.

“Even if you say something without any reason, it is mixed with sincerity without even knowing it. ”

“That's what I know... but it doesn't make sense to think that way. ”

Lycaen, who was still thinking about something, asked in a faint voice.

“To the best of your knowledge... what are your chances of winning a war with the Kingdom of Ruo?" ”

“Well... The atmosphere of the Kingdom of Ruo is quite peaceful, not to be sure. We have a lot of odds, don't we? ”

“If so, I'm sure it's war. ”

You nod straightaway if anything comes to mind, too.

“Come to think of it, Earl Eisen has won this war because it is difficult for him. First of all, you're gonna push Earl Eigen away and start a war with your own people. ”

“Maybe.”

“Hmm... Then you're even weirder. Why did you refuse?”

Caith is curious and asks with a dying look. Lycaen's answer was very simple.

“I don't like it.”

“What?! ”

“It seems the king has other plans. ”

“Huh! You crazy bastard.... ”

“It's best not to eat and burn. ”

Caith stares at Lycaen with a frantic look. But Lycaen didn't seem particularly impressed.

Caith, who had been watching Lycaen silently for a long time, shook his head in excitement that he had finally lost.

“It's your job. You're on your own. If you don't have a special appointment the day after tomorrow, come with me. ”

“Where?”

“Earl Dovern is hosting a banquet. ”

“Earl Dovern? ”

“A royal lineage, not a very influential one, but a friendly one, both east and west. The day after tomorrow is his 70th birthday and he's throwing a banquet. I didn't think it would be a bad first place for you, social or political. ”

The east represents the Earl Eisen tribe, and the west represents the Earl Romon tribe. A place where two forces of the highest power in the regime of Bren Kingdom come together at the same time. Like Caith said, it shouldn't be too bad for Lycaen's first report.

“I understand. But.... ”

“Huh?"

“Spend some money. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“You still have to dress up to go to the banquet. But there are no clothes. ”

“Y-you can buy that with your money. ”

“Shit, I don't have any money. ”

Earl Frost is raising a tremendous amount of money from the sale of Klaus' goods. But they had no money to spend on the progress of the territory, no money to prepare for the banquet clothes.

“Huh-uh. Got it. ”

* * *

“Uh, uh-uh...! ”

Jack opens his mouth and stares blankly at the horse. Tom next to him also gave a similar look and stuttered.

“Tongue, brother. What, did you eat it wrong? ”

And the answer he said without knowing the situation was a cheerful sound.

Oh, shit!

“Aah!”

Tom sits there, wrapped around his head with a scream. And the Wolf growls at them.

“I can take a shit once if I keep talking! Okay? ”

But Tom and Jack's reaction was somewhat natural. It's because Wolf went out dressed in uniform.

Although it is a simple design, Earl Frost's knight uniform, which emphasizes its simplicity and agility, certainly did not go well with Wolf's image.

Jack and Tom grunt as they climb in.

“Because you don't usually wear a uniform that well. ”

“Yeah, that too in the middle of the night. ”

Whether or not Wolf cleaned up his wardrobe in front of the mirror, he moved to a stealthy move.

And when they saw him, the two of them looked dazed again. It's because I've never seen Wolf like this before. When I saw the knights of Earl Gronst, I saw the "real knights" from Wolf, which made me think they were worthless.

“Let's go, let's go! ”

Tom urgently drags Jack behind Wolf. The two men enter the entrance of the mansion alone and pause once more. It was because Elisha was standing next to Wolf in a black hat and mulch, and a plain dress that was appropriately harmonized with black and gray.

And the way Lycaen talks to Wolf and Elisha.

“Do you remember what I said? ”

Elisha replies with a playful voice.

“You want me to hit you as cheaply as possible? ”

“That's right."

“Of course. I understand perfectly! ”

“Good. Go and get it. ”

Elisha was on her way to a secret negotiation with Earl Romon, and the Wolf was accompanied by her escort. A secret encounter, but an official activity by Earl Frost. That's why even Wolf had to wear a uniform.

In fact, Yulia was better suited to Elisha than Wolf. But Julia also did not know the formalities like Tom or Jack. That's why the Wolf stepped up.

“I'll be back.”

Wolf straightens his usual touching shoulders, greets politely, and then moves on first. A respectful gesture to protect Elisha while carefully leading the way. Definitely a knightly and respectful escort.

And when Tom and Jack saw that, they didn't know how to deal with what they were seeing. No, I felt a chill in my Wolf look that didn't fit so well.

The same thought Elisha gave to Wolf in a strange tone.

“Surprisingly, they look great together. ”

Wolf frowns slightly.

“Don't tell me. I feel like I'm gonna die. ”

It was only a year and a half away, but the comforting life that touched me was just right for Wolf. However, there are more than one or two things it takes to suddenly act stiffly in uniform.

“Hmmm! But you have to be patient. Are you okay? ”

“I see. Okay, let's go. ”

A carriage carrying two people slowly begins to run down the road. It's been a long, dark night drive to the eastern center of Edelschut where the wagon arrives. There are several streets in Edelscht where noble mansions gather, one of which is just east of the center.

“Ha! This will almost be half the Resistance in our territory, right? ”

I glanced at the mansion in front of me with a weary look on Wolf's face. It was neither the Lord's castle nor the size of a mansion in the capital. And almost every window of that mansion lit up. It means that there are that many people staying.

To put it bluntly, it was hard for Wolf to understand that there were so many people in houses like vacation homes.

But for Elisha, who's dealt with countless nobles in the Gronis Empire, it's just a daily scenery.

“Let's go.”

“Huh? Yes, come with me. ”

The Wolf, who made fun of you, stands in front of Elisha and heads for the front door of the mansion.

Two soldiers guarding the gate saw Wolf and Elisha approaching them, blocking the path with a spear.

“What brings you here? ”

“I have an appointment with Earl Romon, so please keep me posted. ”

The two soldiers remove the spear and open the door. It seemed to have been spoken to beforehand. A soldier turns to Wolf.

“I'll put a message inside. Wait a moment.”
