Middle-aged Adventurer Kein’s Good Deed

164. Distinction from the past, and to the future

Anyway, this is how Amstel's great naval battle ended.

If we kept going, it would have been Maya who had shown it to be a victory for the navies of both the Austrian and Kane kingdoms, but in fact, the percentages and internal feelings were critical.

"Is that it this time? The sweet thing is, Mr. Kane, no shame."

Although the cost of letting the Austrian Navy ship out could have been constructed, if it had damaged the fleet, it would have gone bankrupt.

Naval forces that can be used, etc., are both Tenzi tigers.

In this situation, where most of the hands struck were bluffs, let's say Maya's plot to disable the Invincible Fleet and lead him to victory is commendable.

"But enemies, too."

Queen Alistiglia is totally into Kane.

This speed of transformation was just the queen of one country when she said she was the one who was crossing spears (dust) until just now.

Even as she finished the truce agreement on the ship as it was and stopped the ship at the port of Amstel to get off, Queen Aristilia was blatantly selling the festivities without letting Kane go.

"Sire Kane, what can I do for you?"

"That, I see. Just one more thing from here. May I ask Your Majesty a favor?"

Come here, I'm afraid of the last favor.

For a moment I wonder what will be put on the terms, and the queen's face will be in ruins.

"I ask you to forgive me for the sins of the pirates of Buccania."

Before Kane and Queen Alistiglia, there was the head Buccanian pirate Barbus.

It should now be called ex-piracy.

Barbus is the Commander of the Kane Navy.

"Of course it is. I want to take the opportunity to form an alliance and dissolve my previous commitment."

"Really?"

Kane, who had managed to get forgiveness for the sins of the Barbas, is horrified.

When the queen releases Kane's hand, she stands before the old pirate.

"You're Barbus Baccania, former lord of Baccania Island."

"Yes."

The queen turns away for a moment and continues with a lost face.

"I am sorry that my father trumpeted the people of Baccania, but I am not going to ask you to forgive me now, etc."

It is a political decision.

It's not an easy story to apologize for.

My father and I thought it was the right thing to do.

Even if the Queen was in the same position, she must have done the same thing.

"Right, Your Majesty. The cracks between the eagles and Albion can be filled most of the time."

"But it is also the wish of His Majesty Kane. As far as I'm concerned, I want to improve my relationship by pouring it into the water."

……

"That's too convenient a word to say, isn't it? Then I know what it's like to strongly resent our country. At the very least, give me, the queen of Albion, the opportunity to express my grudges. You can curse me if you want."

The old pirate Barbus, meditating quietly, raised his lay face and opened his eyes.

"We resent your father from the bottom of our hearts. The indignation of his own people who could not do anything about their sons starving and dying in front of them as lords. Your Majesty, the Queen of One Country, will know. That's why we've been working illegally on Albion ship ships so far."

The silent queen was going to take it all and looked straight into Barbus' old eyes, burning in strong anger, with blue blue eyes.

"Balbas......"

Hoops Barbus laughs when he sees Kane calling out, not being able to watch him beside him.

"But that was only for previous generations. This resentment, anger, hatred, even if it never goes away, can forge a new relationship in the next generation. It's this body saved by His Majesty Kane. I would rather think about the future than focus on the past."

The queen who said she would not apologize now, but she unwittingly bowed her head to the words of that Barbus.

Seeing it, Barbus turned to the Queen and Kane, silently thanking them, after the harbor.

"My uncle's here!

"It's a victory celebration! I'm gonna drink enough to take a bath today!

It's a festival in the harbor tavern.

The people of the city celebrating the end of the war with a jock of beer and the ex-pirates cheerfully fussing.

The head pirate Barrel and Anka, who welcomed Barbus, pulled his hand now that he was also coming to Kane, bringing a jock and pouring beer.

"See, the Admiral also has beer, beer!

"Oh, thank you"

"Kane's Admiral, make sure you take the head of the toast here!

"Ah well, good luck everyone!

When Kane put up the jock, the cheerful sailors said, "Ooh!," he cheered and drank his beer all at once.

The black steel crowd, who played a major role, also participate in the banquet all this day.

"What's going on, Krogane?

Kane, who was wandering the soldiers' labor around the banquet seat, worries and speaks out because he has barely got his hands on the extravagant meal served by the Black Steel crowd.

"Dear Yakusha, we're full of breasts and the food doesn't go through our throats."

When Kane asked about the circumstances, the Black Steel crowds, who were assassins, were never called to such a table world banquet, even if it was a celebration of victory.

Doing shadow work is extremely rarely rewarded.

"Was it? That might have made me miss you guys, too. I didn't know, but I'm sorry."

"No, not like your makeshift apologizes..."

"It's going to be a lot of work, but from now on I'll try to call it a banquet as long as I can."

To Kane's words of care, the black steel crowd sobs.

"What are you all crying about? Your stall is in trouble, why don't you do a celebratory dance!

The black steel crowds, who are sneaky, celebrate in their own company when they celebrate, and dance simple dances.

"What is the dance of the black steel crowd? I'd love to see it."

"Dear Mr. Oyato, then I will do it!" "Let's do it, too!

The young men of the black steel crowd drinks up "puffy" in a large bowl.

That's how you get the economy, then you swing and soak up the vessels and dance with a trick.

Everyone laughs and applauds at the rustic yet whispering dance.

Kane also tried to imitate and dance, and another dodgy laugh occurs from the circle of black steel crowds.

"Your Majesty, the return ship is ready."

……

"Your Majesty?

Queen Alistiglia had fallen in love with Kane, who was only a little confused with her men and the people.

"Oh, it's a ship."

"Are you okay, you must be tired. Why don't you get some rest?"

"No, I'm going to go back to my country and rebuild the system, but we're going to have full-fledged negotiations."

"Kane the Good King and his words, how far can you believe them..."

"Master Kane's words are believable!

"Eh."

"Oh, no...... I'm not saying anything by emotion. I think Kane's words are enough to be believed."

Queen Alistiglia puts her hands on the cheeks dyed by Zhu.

Everything must be judged in cold blood.

That's how we've steered the country so far.

But still...

When I touched the warm hand of Kane, the good king, my cold heart only warmed a little when I was struck by cold rain.

I felt that way.

The queen quietly pushes her hand against her chest when she holds it.

The fact that once the father of Queen Alistiglia trumped Buccania to conquer the main island of Albion was the right decision no matter how many times she thought about it.

It was the right thing to do, but it wasn't a good thing.

It has always remained a preoccupation in the Queen's heart.

That, too, could be dissolved today thanks to Kane, the Good King.

Knight Lancelot looks at the master with a strange face.

"Your Majesty..."

"Are you the Lord of mercy, who makes the sword princess a vessel of kings who also use it, and reaches out to the losers? If I were to make it happen, I wanted to live like Master Kane."

"What do you say? For us, Her Majesty the Queen is the Lord of Mercy!

"Heh, right. Lancelot, have I made you worry? It's really nothing, so let's get back to our country as soon as possible. From now on, we're going to start a new form of trade competition, so we're going to be even busier."

"Ha, our Albion is the winner of the next battle!

Thus, in the North Sea region, a new order was created: the Altena Alliance.

It was also the dawn of an era of economic war, when spears could not be exchanged.
