Legend

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

A cheer echoes inside the imperial capital.

It was directed at the Merclio army as it progressed through the Imperial capital.

A cheer for Merclio and Frizione, which is progressing as a Merclio army.

It was Merclio who requested this triumphal parade, but it was the Chancellor's pache who was flashly prepared so far.

If it were, there would be no more triumphant parade than what happened this time was civil unrest.

Merclio was considered a traitor, because the army led by that traitor defeated the crusaders who were in the position of being sent by the country.

Even for Pache, this triumphal parade would have been prepared for Kabbazid and Schulus-led crusaders to do it.

Nor could the emperor tragist of the Bestian Empire, the master, laugh at the result beyond his own expectations when he heard this result, making a loud laugh during the sight.

Although it takes the form of civil unrest, this battle is stronger on the side of the battle to determine the next heir to the throne.

No, Ning Ro, you can say the battle that was triggered just to decide that.

That's why I was ready so that we could have a triumph parade so that it wouldn't matter which one wins.

(Still, flattening the act of people dying so far... I don't know, Father)

Merclio waves toward the people without putting his inner heart on the table as he rides his horse down the boulevard to the castle.

Excited people when they wave at themselves.

Many are shouting and cheering for themselves to wave.

"Theorem, did the crusaders, starting with Brother Schulz, safely enter the Empire City?

I laugh and wave at my surroundings and ask Theorem, who is holding back near me.

"Ha. Said they all came in through the north gate"

"... yes"

The Empire is wide, and there are several gates around it.

In winds such as the largest main entrance, the gate for nobility present near the main entrance.

But there were also a few other gates called special gates.

One of them is the gate that exists north of the Imperial capital.

A backward presence was the gateway to entering the Imperial Capital, something that could not be done very publicly, and the Crusaders who lost this civil unrest were supposed to enter the Imperial Capital from there.

Here, those such as adventurers, mercenaries and prostitutes who participated in this civil unrest will pay the fines immediately, and those who do not currently have the money will be asked where they live and will pay later.

Naturally, if you imitate that, there will also be people out there who mislead the payments, but if you think about paying a few fine silver coins and not being able to work in and around Imperial City in the future, you usually pay them.

Some aristocrats also hired them to pay a fine because they hired them… very few such aristocrats.

In the first place, it comes from the fact that a formally hostile opponent must be punished in some way with respect to this fine.

There is no difficulty in paying the majority of those who receive remuneration in advance.

It was also possible to offset that with the consideration of a few days of work, even if the advance could not be used up and paid.

It is also true that some people still never want to pay for it.

Many people are confident to the point of being excessive in their strength, such as to argue that they lost in civil unrest but never lost.

Those who follow are caught by soldiers without paying a fine, willingly, to pay a greater fine, or escape from this empire.

However, the only way to get out is in the country.

There's nothing like sending a tracking soldier for about a few pieces of silver coins, but if you still find out you escaped without paying a fine due to some circumstance, it's a heavier fine... if you do it badly, you'll be captured.

In other words, we need to be caged in the countryside so far out of the sight of the country.

If you really don't like the countryside, you'll also have the means to leave the Bestian Empire.

But if anyone hates paying for a few pieces of silver coins and goes that far... not all of them, but they're not there that often.

"Brother Schulz needs my help. I'll take care of the roots around here."

"Ha. I intend to send my hand to His Highness Schulz"

"Yes, that's good. And the case of the noblemen who were in the Crusades..."

"There's nothing wrong with you."

It was with words exchanged that way, but still both Merclio and Theorem waved to the people with a grin.

Another person who is being hailed, Frizione, is also waving from the carriage window to the people with a grin.

"So? What happened to the other one?

"Ha, ha. Well... Your Highness Frizione is also interested in these things."

As caregivers of Frizione, I return the words as the maids in the carriage together were poked at the intention.

But Frizione naturally nods as he smiles and waves to the folks who are coming to watch the triumphal parade.

"For a woman in a castle, someone else's romantic situation is no more entertainment. That's the same thing, even if there's a rise or a fall in position. Maid, noble, royal."

"Sure I wouldn't deny that either..."

"Then tell me. Besides, this has to do with the White Rose Knights, so it's not irrelevant to me either, is it?

"It's, well... there's nothing I can't say, maybe? No, but..."

In the words of Frizione, a made-up to say.

"Look, just tell me. You've seen it, haven't you?

"... ok. However, please take an interest in the princess as well as your own colorful love, not just someone else's. Still single at that age is a lot to taste, isn't it? The great nobility of the Bestian Empire has told us that the royal family of the surrounding countries and even the kingdom of Mireana are talking about the fringe."

"What are you talking about, it's not funny because Sex Sharpening is about someone else. Look, come on."

The maid exhales a sigh of giving up and opens her teasing mouth to words she does not think are uttered with a grin and waves to the people.

"Justina was having a conversation with the gatekeeper. At first, there must have been some exchanges when we left the Imperial Capital, and there was a lot going on with each other, but it seemed that we slowly broke it down as we talked. Well, as far as Justina's concerned, there's still no such thing as an atmosphere."

"Yes. Well, you have to work a little harder. But I went all the way to the aristocratic gate, so I guess it's not like you're thinking anything?

Speaking to the maid, what floated behind Frizione's brain was an exchange when he escaped from the Empire.

As a member of the White Rose Knights, Justina had an exchange near her waist with her opponent, who was the gatekeeper for the aristocratic gate.

That seems to have given the two of them some good vibes right now as to what sort of thought path they followed.

"But he's from the nobility, isn't he? I'm sure they'll need a proper place... but is it true that they were at the aristocratic gates?

"Yeah. It's just that I'm with Baron Ashdan's three sons, so you might have a bit of a problem in terms of status"

"... yes. If anything happens, please make sure I can help you."

"Are you sure? Doesn't Baron Ashdan look good?

It is not so strange to think about political marriage in order to develop the house, even if it is the lowest of the nobles in the territory.... No, in this case I guess it's the lower ranked nobility that makes me greedy to go for upper status.

Although there is also the status of a knight as a nobleman who does not have territory, this is a one-generation title and can be given to civilians if they mention any handles. Also, knights are knights, not knights of military significance, but knights only as titles.

If a knight in his or her capacity takes on more manners, he or she becomes a baron, but the difficulty is very different between becoming a knight from a civilian and a knight to a baron.

"The same goes for Baron Ashdan, but Justina's father is too greedy to be born, too. I don't like that. Justina must have joined the White Rose Knights, right?

It was Frizione's impression that although Justina was not skilled enough to be captain, her heart was never bad.

Most people with bad personalities are bounced before joining the White Rose Knights.

"Anyway, the White Rose Knights don't meet much originally, so let's support Justina in her encounter. … while making sure everyone knows exactly what's going on."

"... Ninglo, aren't you looking forward to that?

Frizione waves from the carriage window toward the people, pretending not to sound like the maid's questionable words.

I guess I decided it was useless to say anything more. The maid suddenly changes the subject.

"More than that, my lord Frizione. This civil unrest has decided that His Highness Merclio will be the next heir to the throne, but was His Highness Frizione good with that?

"I wonder what?

"If His Royal Highness Frizione had been a little more willing to do so, he would have been the next heir to the throne instead of His Royal Highness Merclio," I thought.

"... you won't be able to. At the time Ray was over there in the first place, there was nothing I could do. That's it, unless the noise is even on hand. Besides... I did want the Emperor's throne before. But now, in the form of a Merclio assistant, I think my purpose will be fulfilled."

"Are we all happy..."

"I won't say that much. In fact, a lot of people died in this civil unrest. Not very much, but I can't tell you that we can all be happy. But... I still want to make as many people happy as I can. It requires a friendly relationship, not hostility with the Kingdom of Mireana."

Naturally Frizione also knows that it is not that easy to establish friendship with the Kingdom of Mireana.

But it is no exaggeration to say that we are inland and surrounded by mountains. As a Bestian Empire, we really need the sea.

Until now, we have been aiming for the sea in the way of occupying the Kingdom of Mireana with a higher national and military power than the Kingdom of Mireana.

Of course, that's not just the ocean.

The Kingdom of Mireana, though not extending to the Bestian Empire, is just a country that can be called a great enough power.

That shows that even though it has been hostile to the Bestian Empire for many years, it still survives as the Kingdom of Mireana.

I can't imagine how much that would benefit the Bestian Empire if we could annex that country.

There have also been times in the past when we have tried to be friendly with the Kingdom of Mireana, and that has been ruined.

Because of those past, the Bestian Empire today was trying to occupy and annexe the Kingdom of Mireana.

"But... if we fight and force the annexation, it will definitely be a spark. Especially now that the kingdom of Mireana has a ray, and perhaps Vihera is also likely to lend a hand over there if it is a war. Ray beat Rank S noise and Vihera beat Rank A Digma. Besides... that Digma is also conquering the departure of the Bestian Empire. Not very much, but I don't think I can do anything about it hostile to the Kingdom of Mireana"

With a grin, Frizione's grunt dwelt in a melancholy colour opposite that grin.

"Wow... that's amazing, Captain Ray"

of the Merclio army, close to the rear.

So one of the guerrillas shouts surprise at the folks cheering at themselves.

Probably because I've never been treated like this before. For a while, surprisingly, the colour of excitement gradually dwells in its eyes.

"Right. I certainly didn't think they were getting ready so well."

If we try to lay it down, this fight is only a civil unrest, and we certainly won the fight ourselves, but if we do poorly, we could be attacked the moment we enter the Imperial Capital? I even had the thought.

But it was a cheering folk, not soldiers, who welcomed the Merclio army into the Empire.

"I guess there's a lot of rooting, political issues..."

"Gru?"

Seto, with Ray on his back, tilts his neck back at the whine.

"No, it's nothing. Anyway, now the prerequisite is to end this triumphant parade."

While stroking the back of Seto's neck, Ray lowers the hood of his dragon robe at the request of Theorem and joins the triumphal parade in an unfamiliar manner.

Those who know the martial arts tournament to the appearance of such a ray cheer loudly and inadvertently sigh of admiration in Ray's face, which is so neat that they can be convinced whether it is a mogul or a woman's face that they do not know it.

... although the latter also included an admiration for the Ceto on which Ray was riding.
