Legend

Second Crusader Army, devastated.

That report was not the same as when Schulz sent the crusaders, and was strictly hidden from the people.

Unlike the last crusader, this crusader even went to a brilliant parade and came out in battle. Who can say that most of the six thousand people were killed in the course of that day?

Only a few ordinary people who work in nobility and castles know this information, and even they are told not to speak to others.

But... I guess the phrase 'just for the record' is just too appealing. Although only slightly, the information was spreading.

Most of all, even those who know what's going on don't really think they can hide information about the destruction of the Crusaders.

That is why those who caused the present situation needed to do something about it.

"... so, Brother Kabazid. Is this meeting supposed to end up doing something about Merclio?

Schuls sits in a chair and asks Kabazid as he mouths the tea that was on the table.

There is no fear of poisoning in tea-drinking tricks.

It must be natural that Amare, who is also Schulz's deputy, brewed this tea.

Plus it's equipped with anti-poison magic items, and there's no way that some poison will help Schultz.

"Right. Of course, that's the top priority... but in one way or another, it's also the purpose of our siblings to enjoy tea slowly."

It is Kabazid who tells you with an elegant grin that you exactly deserve to describe as your son.

I don't see how I cared at all when I said that my dispatched crusaders were devastated in a literal sense.

Behind a grinning cabazide would be an escort and deputy. There is also the figure of Perfir, a female knight.

"But if we really have brothers and sisters, maybe it's not enough for me and Schuls. I think it's only with Merclio and Vihera."

It is Frizione who tells you with a gentle grin. There is also the figure of Angela Luxinois, who is also the leader of the White Rose Knights, behind this one.

"... Sister Frizione. Merclio and Vihera rebelled against the Empire. I'm not allowed to be here already."

"Really? There seems to be a lot of misunderstandings around here."

"Frizione, sister! He's an enemy! Don't think about sweet little things forever, now you'll need to do something about this situation!

The shouting Schuls voice, if ordinary...... that was the only force that could surprise even a knight for a moment.

But Frizione opens her mouth with a grin.

"No, Schulz. As a sister, we can't allow brothers to fight each other."

"Frizione, sister!

Schuls screams, but Frizione stares at me all the time saying there is no compromise whatsoever with a serious look on his face.

Schuls, with such a gaze on his face, utters words.

Now it was time to say this strongly towards Frizione, but Schuls was originally his own sister and nostalgic for his gentle personality Frizione.

Even for Frizione, I can tell you that the shrubs that come to my nostalgia are adorable and that their upward and downward relationships with each other are slipped in a way that is half as close to instinct.

But not shrugged or ever a child. I am now working towards the status of Emperor, and I could never go further than that to let the Merclio rebels do whatever they want here.

Especially since I sent out the defeat with the knowledge that the crusaders I sent are losing lightly to the rebels.

"Brother Kabazid, what do you think?

As a result, Schuls, who decided that he would not be able to persuade Frizione on his own, turns his gaze to Kabazid, who looked interesting to watch their interaction.

"Oh, is that me? You know, I still feel like brothers and sisters are good things when I look at the interaction between them."

"Become!?

Surprisingly loud Schuls.

That would be natural, too. Because I never thought that Cabazido, who just thought it was in favor of defeating Merclio as much as I did, would say something that would agree with Frizione.

That's the same for Frizione, with a surprising look on his face.

But soon the look of surprise turns to a smile, placing a cup of tea and then happily opening his mouth.

"Well, well, well. Brother Kabbazide, I thought you said you wouldn't allow Merclio... But even Brother Kabbazide, this time..."

It was Frizione who tried to do something about his relationship with his brother as soon as possible and open his mouth to put away this unhelpful battle, whereas Cabazide slowly shook his neck to the side.

"It is indeed sad to dispute between brothers and sisters. But, Frizione. We are the royal family of the Bestian Empire. own emotions and national interests. Needless to say, which one does it matter? We, the royal family, behave as we please with our own personal greed, because it is nothing more than blasphemy against those who live in the Bestian Empire."

That means nothing more than a statement of intent that even if you have feelings as a brother, you will never stop flirting with Merclio.

"Brother Kabazid..."

Even Frizione understands his position. I understand, but it's also true that you still want your brothers to stop fighting each other.

(Brother Kabazid was determined here because he is still a fighter winner compared to the Merclios... I guess)

Indeed, the First, Second and Crusaders lost. That's overwhelming, too.

But there are still many battles in Kabazid that can be freed, as well as those of the faction's nobles.

If you're in Schulz, there's a lot of dead opponents like Ning Luo pulling his leg, so maybe it's even higher in the sense of pure force.

Besides, in the case of Schulz, there is a foothold called the nobles who were taken prisoner over there.

It would be quite painful for Schulls as it stands to be unable to move in a detour in negotiations with you.

But...... that's only a story as a second prince.

It is not impossible for Schuls to move his direct troops.

That also proves that the Crusaders earlier had Schuls direct cavalry in them.

"Brother Kabazid. Last time my army, and this time Brother Kabazid's army lost. I don't think there's any point in sending crusaders separately from each other like this?

"Hmm? So what are we going to do? You want me to come out to Frizione?

To a suggestion from Schulz, Kabazido looking at Frizione.

But Frizione instantly shakes his head.

"As I said earlier, I don't agree that brothers are going to be fighting each other to wash their blood with blood. In the first place, I think you understand very well that I have less fighting power than Brother Kabazid or Schuls?

The word was true, and Kabazid knew how much war Frizione possessed, not to mention Schuls.

Even if they join factions, they only have a degree of power that does not extend to Kabazid or Shruth.

"... Brother Cabazide, I think that if we work together on sister Frizione to form a crusade, we won't lose that way against Merclio or Vihera."

To Schuls' words, Frizione shakes his head.

Although I am angry at my sister's stubbornness, it is also true that I want to leave my strength in the Imperial City for the sake of time.

Do something...

"Surely, if we combined the forces of me and Schulz, we would be able to counter Merclio as well. Fortunately, offers of cooperation have come from those who have not previously joined any faction. But in that case, how do you deal with Deep Red, the person I lost this time? That one creates a giant tornado of flames and is free to manipulate it. At a time when we're moving him freely, this one's at a disadvantage."

Words alone were a kabazid that we are claiming to be overwhelmingly unfavourable, but the grin that floats there is never like accepting our disadvantage.

"Brother Kabazid?

I guess I was wondering how Cabazide was doing. Schuls asks in surprise.

That is the same with Frizione, a situation in which we are disadvantaged, even though we should never be inferior to each other in terms of our power. Encourage words with your gaze to Kabazid, who nevertheless gives you an extra look.

"No, I do have the means to counter deep red, but it's not a sure thing. Maybe something like...... so you shouldn't expect much about this. Let's return to the Crusaders. Is it okay that Frizione doesn't join the Crusaders after all?

"... Brother Kabazid. Do you really have to fight Merclio?"

Frizione asks painfully to Cabazide's inquiry, which comes with the meaning of the last question.

If it's a private matter, it's a cabazide that tolerates Frizione's very best while he smiles bitterly that he can't help it, but that's just a private matter.

When it came to even having something to do with the end of the country as it is now, I never gave in with a soft look.

(Rhodos...? If that guy is going to work as expected here, maybe...... plus, luck has something to do with it, but there's nothing else to do with it)

It was the faces of those who were to belong to their faction that passed the back of Kabbazid's brain.

I had received documents from my subordinates listening to the character and abilities of Deep Red, the person in question this time, but it was only freedom... someone I could only describe as truly free.

If you don't like it, you don't hesitate to turn it around on your enemies, whether they're aristocrats or big chambers of commerce.

Of course it is because you have enough strength to do it, but you were the one who should be described as kabazid and interesting.

(I just want you to belong to the Bestian Empire like this if you can...... that would be hard)

Unless you have too much time, you won't make the choice that a person named Deep Red will serve your country.

(But...... that's all, that's the one with the power comparable to the power of a single army walking free. That's also in rank B, not rank S or A. Do you know how dangerous that is?

It's not strange that someone comes out who thinks they can be made to follow their orders, which they can control because of their low rank.

Naturally, Ray couldn't have followed it, and if he did badly, those who approached Ray would suffer greatly. The resentment of the harm done to them is directed against Ray, beyond imitating them in any way that they admit they are not.

Previously it wasn't that blatant because there was an asylum-seeker named Dusker, but now Ray has already been cut off from Dusker, even if he is ostensibly. If that happens...

(Some rebels will naturally be thinking about the area. Especially since the battle with the first crusaders was over. Many of them are immaterial.)

Kabazid who remembers and whines about some faces in it as information.

I guess I was wondering what such a kabazid looked like. Frizione opens her mouth again.

"Brother Kabazid, please answer me. Do you really have to fight Merclio?

"Right. As I said earlier, this is a battle you can't escape.... Schuls, how much fighting power can we have over there?

"Brother Kabazid!

In the words of Cabazide, Schulus and Frizione all open their mouths.

However, the words emanating from it are the exact opposite of the emotions they contain, even if they are the same.

Frizione is sad, Schuls is like joy.

But neither does Frizione speak any more.

Because he understands that Kabazid is not going to correct his words if he says anything more meaningless.

He was Schuls, who gazed for a moment at his sister, who leaned down to grief, but eventually opened his mouth to Kabazid.

"As we know, we are negotiating a ransom for a nobleman captured over there. Nobles who are taken prisoner over there cannot participate, but other nobles can participate fully. … although we have to narrow it down to a certain number, given the possibility that the nobility being taken prisoner will interfere with it in a variety of ways"

If Schulus cooperates with the Crusaders again than the rebels have captured those in his house, he may not be able to guarantee their safety.

It wasn't strange for a nobleman to come out thinking so.

"Hmm, then I want it to be a force of war from the nobles who can assure me that they will never betray my direct soldiers. We'll take care of the rest here."

Crusaders sent by the 1st and 2nd princes in cooperation.

It's similar to the last Crusader Army that Ray wiped out on shape, but there's something very different about it this time.

Turn it into a kabazid, shrug it, I'm just serious about taking down the rebels, not like how they look or reconnaissance.

"... Brother Kabazid, Schuls..."

Frizione, staring sadly at it, groaned sadly to determine his inner readiness.
