"... ugh!

I took my breath away from the words the king had spoken.

And that becomes, above all, an eloquent answer.

"Again, huh?

No, don't worry. So it doesn't mean what's wrong.

There is such a thing in the rhetoric that is conveyed only to the royal family. Occasionally, guests from different worlds come to this world by the reckoning of the gods. They have useful knowledge, but they are so dangerous if they are in the hands of the wicked. We need to protect them, but things like house arrest are not preferable. Because they are descending into the land given some sort of assignment by the gods. Therefore, we need to support their actions if they are to be suitable for the will of the gods. However, they have different values than the human beings in this world, so the way they take it into the country is not very preferable. Let them do whatever they can to help them do, while guaranteeing their freedom.

- Well, this kind of oral communication has been passed down from generation to generation. "

The guy...

But it might not have been a funny story.

There seemed to be reincarnators, both in the mouth of the goddess and in the past, and if the reincarnators had some kind of mission, just like me, naturally there would have been opportunities to engage with the leading men of this world.

"So, it's Edgar. What do you want from the Kingdom of Santa Mana? What do you want me to do?

I didn't expect this kind of development, so suddenly you can't think of it as soon as they ask.

For now, it would be from sorting out the situation.

"Right... the infamous mercenary regiment known in Sonorat as the Looting Brigade (Black Wolf's Fang), and the assassination sect" Yata-glass ", which worships and serves evil gods, these two organizations, almost as much as they did in time, had the same purpose of usurping the Kingdom of Santa Mana.

Isn't this hard to think of as a coincidence?

I can't help but feel the intent of Sonorat, or "someone" that exists further north of it. "

I'm not sure who that 'who' is.

but I don't think the possibility of being a reincarnated passers-by/pestle hunter is that high at the moment.

Pestle should also have been reincarnated into a toddler, just like me, and I doubt he has that much influence as a toddler.

Nevertheless, Gazein said he saw what he thought were puzzling children.

Even if you can't even say Pestle is in the lead, it could be tangled up somewhere.

But even in that case, there is an organization that protects pestles, which is likely to have manipulated Black Wolf's Fang or Yata-glass.

"Hmm. Already, as far as I can move, I'm letting you explore Sonorat's situation.

Then, in a report from Alfred, he also arranged the nomination of "Pastor" Leticia Ludameia of "Yata-glass" along with the personage. But we don't have any information so far. "

"What are some possible forces that can affect Sonorat?

"It would be easy to understand right north - either the city or the state on the Central Plateau. Nevertheless, it is hard to imagine that a small county state, if only Sonorat, will reach further south to Santa Mana. Even further north, the same applies to the Northern Limit Empire. In the sense of national power, it's not strange to be able to work like that over the Middle Plains, but I still don't know what it means to target Santa Mana, the southernmost part of the continent."

"What about non-state forces?

"A wicked worshipper of evil gods would be the right-wing one. Others are the demons who lived in Frostbite, the Lizardman of the hot continent of the South, the Oriental people and Sahaggins who were in a business relationship with Sonorat but are now in the whole clan, the western barbarians who have a conflict with Santa Mana, or the principled natural regressionists of the elves...... somewhere else if it's only possible"

"What is that evil man?

"I don't know what's going on either, but I'm told they're scattered all over the continent, creating organizations like secret societies, trying to accomplish the intentions of evil gods. but the majority of rumors about the wicked were dominated by conspiracy histories, many of which cannot be properly received. In superstitious countryside and elsewhere, if you're doing something a little unusual, they'll split you into villages, suspected of being an evil man. Exactly, things like burning on their own shouldn't have gone away since they were banned by royal law..."

In short, like a secret society in a previous life, you mean occult sudden existence?

"I would love to hear more about that cult"

"Well. Is there any basis for that?

"I have a previous life's knowledge. Goddess - With the power of Atrazenek, the god who presides over the circle, I have been given the mission of pursuing a man who was reincarnated into this world. We have information that the man was a devil worshipper in his previous life."

"Hmm. Devil worshippers and wicked people? It's not strange to be on edge indeed.

Fine. I'll let you find out about the wicked.

However, when their activities are centered around Sonorat, there are only a few things we can do in our country. "

"I think Sonorat's political anxiety is giving them a crack."

"But that's the hard thing to do with my country. I can't believe you put out soldiers to calm down Sonorat."

Is that right? There's no way I can tell you to invade me.

There's only so much we can do for the moment as ask for an investigation.

No, one more thing, I asked you to do.

I wasn't sure if it was something I could tell you, but if it's all about opening my chest collar, it'll be fine.

"Please be generous to the former members of Yata-glass."

As someone who gathered people inside the Yata-glass and conspired to rebel, it is his responsibility to ask for this.

To my words, the king opened his eyes a little and said:

"... well. They kidnapped you, didn't they?

Why are you covering them?

"I have interacted with them and made them realize that the teachings they believe in are errors.

In the process, we have also touched upon the different problems they have.

I feel very unwilling to cut them off as evil and punish them severely "

"But how can you not punish me?

More or less, there are circumstances in which sinners have also become sinners. but that's why I can't show you if you're acquitting me of all of that. It seems horrible that a person should punish a person, but it is still necessary to maintain order. Kindness alone does not serve the monarch. "

"Of course it is.

Even if you were tricked into killing people, the fact that you killed people doesn't go away.

However, the brainwashing education of Yata-glass was the result of the use of drugs.

I find it hard to get through that with personal power. With eyes like that, most people will probably be brainwashed just like them.

As for their murder, I believe that it is primarily those who have ordered them to kill who should be held accountable "

"Hmm..."

The king shuts up with his fingers on his chin.

And

"Alfred, isn't your son's opinion your opinion?

"Yeah. As far as I'm concerned, I take it for granted that the assassins who attacked our family will be punished.

In the light of the laws of the kingdom, is it not inevitable that capital punishment will be dispensed with? Subtracting that it was brainwashed, you might be told that no indication is given without blame.

There are also questions about whether they really change their minds. "

My father seems to speak harshly, but in a prior discussion, my father is supposed to ask me to express my neutral opinion as a nobleman rather than support my opinion.

According to his father, "His Majesty the King would be repudiated in a biased opinion because he is a wise man".

The king nodded several times to chew my and my father's opinions,

"Sure, that's worrying. It's too dangerous to let those trained as assassins go wild."

"So...?

"Mm-hmm. If it was meant to be, I guess Bowya's opinion should be dismissed.

But it was this Bowya who saved the kingdom in this case.

So, as far as I'm concerned, I want to hear Bowya's opinion. I can't stand up and reward you for hiding that you're a reincarnator. "

The king claps his hands with bread and calls people.

It was the civilian who showed me in earlier.

"- The King of the Kingdom of Santa Mana, Vistogard I, makes the following ruling on the treatment of the former members of the [Yataglas].

The former members of the "Yata-glass" are ordered to provide free services for the construction of the Great Wall. The period is until the completion of the walls. For those who have caused problems with their surroundings in the meantime, the usual severe punishment will be imposed. For those who did not cause problems, they shall be released after the completion of the construction.

However, after liberation, he shall always be obliged to report his residence to the State and, if he appears to have committed an offence, shall impose additional penalties, depending on the gravity of the offence, in addition to the penalties appropriate for that offence. For additional penalties, the remaining ruling shall be sought.

It should be noted that the treatment shall be determined separately for former constituents under 15 years of age.

- That's it, record it. "

A civilian takes a wooden clipboard to record the king's remarks.

The clerk finally handed the clipboard to the king, who confirmed the contents of the clipboard before signing it.

"Probation…?"

To my words that crumbled,

"Probation? That's a good way to call it.

Let us now call this way of imposing punishment a moratorium in the future. Suspension of sentence may be imposed, if necessary, on offenders who have room for alteration or sympathy.

However, in order to prevent abuse, the stay of execution shall require the obtaining of residual authorization for the time being "

When the civil servant wrote down the king's words again, the king looked to the civil servant to exit.

"What do people do under fifteen?

and the queen asks.

"How many children were in Yata-glass?

"There are 29 people under the age of 12 and 15 between the ages of 13 and 15."

My father answered the King's question.

Father had rented out a building that was an inn and had a place to stay for the children in the aftermath of the inn. The former inn will soon be reopened as an orphanage and lodging house due to the generosity of the owner, and will be operated as a place to encourage self-reliance while providing for the children with the proceeds from the lodging. Of course, the inn also receives assistance from his father, the lord.

The father had an accurate idea of the number of children in that relationship.

Father explained to the King the current situation of the children and the prospects for the future - a policy of making them acquire sociality and labor skills through accommodation management.

"Ho... that's a much more advanced initiative. Orphans often become vagrants and criminals when they grow up because they don't have the chance to get a job in their hands.

What if the idea is also due to Bowya's knowledge of his previous life?

I'll answer the king's question.

"That's right. In previous life, there was a system of vocational training at public expense for those in a socially disadvantaged position, such as orphans and persons with disabilities.

I think it's relatively easy for them to be adventurers and so on because they have certain combat skills. "

"Then why did you take such action?

"They couldn't get it when they should get the affection of their parents, and they were dawning in brainwashing education and rigorous combat training. I thought they might be unable to adapt to everyday life."

"Will I be unable to adapt to everyday life,? Indeed, I have heard stories of some knights and soldiers who have served in a tragic war who become unfamiliar with their original lives from spiritual pain"

Speaking of previous lives, it would be the kind of problem faced by Vietnamese returning soldiers.

I was surprised that we were able to grasp that within the civilizational standards of Marquekt.

"If I'm going to be an adventurer eventually, I don't mind, but before I do, I wanted you to know that I have a very everyday life."

"It's something I think about a lot... Bowya, it looks like you're not only good for fighting, you're good for the Home Office."

"No, that's... I just happened to have the knowledge"

When I humbled myself, the conversation broke off there and often only the sound of a meal continued.

So the king said hello.

- Yes, Alfred.

"What is it, Your Majesty"

"Don't be hard on words here."

"But..."

"Yes, sometimes remind me of when there were four of us"

To his hesitant father, the queen said the same thing and agreed with the king.

"... it's just here, right?

"Oh, I won't let you get in a bad position, either."

"No, even the Marquis earlier was probably... but"

I switched the way my father spoke while feeling like he was having a hard time doing it.

The king laughs at his father like that.

"Everyone would disagree when I said Marquis from the beginning. That's why I hooked up with the Duke."

"I thought so... because I know I can't say no more on that spot and I'm gonna do that."

"Ha-ha-ha, but, oh, tell me, it would have been the king's usual whim. There will be much fewer people who will denounce you on your behalf."

"Yes, yes... I know Vis tried to protect me."

"Oh, yeah, it's like this! It's fun talking to Eliza, but men are still different from each other"

"Oh, were you unhappy with me? I'm sorry about that, Hayka."

Queen. - Miss Eliza? turns that way at once.

"I didn't say that. But I knew there were four of them - no, you were three..."

"Alfred is the one who's most depressed about it."

"I know... I know, but you're lonely"

"Vis liked Canaan better at first, didn't he?

"Become... that's not true! If I were to say that, wouldn't you be the one who cared about Alfred?!?"

"Pfft. What do you think?

"Damn, that's how you always mislead"

"Either way, Alfred, you and Canaan were compassionate, so there was no room for us to break in."

"... you guys really haven't changed."

Alfred, my father says bitterly, but that tone seems somewhere delightful.

Mother Julia looks at her father like that with interest.

"Yes, Alfred."

The king said it the way he just came up with it.

"What?

"I'll put you in charge of the Royal Guards."

"Boo-hoo!

My father sprayed it.

"You have a high level of [dominance] skills as well as the ability of the military to lead them, and you can use it until [mastery] as an escort in times of need. Not a problem in terms of skills, previous achievements, personality, or good looks in rituals"

"But I have territory..."

"You can leave it to the deputy, right?

"There are aristocrats who hate half elves..."

"Mmm. I'll shut you up."

"You're the current leader of a team with a higher skill level than my [swordsmanship], aren't you?

"Sure enough, he's a master of swords, but he's got a strong upward orientation. There's a verse that's trying to interfere in the struggle between my son's surroundings over the next king, and I'm not much admired by my men."

"Huh? Wasn't the inheritance almost settled in His Highness Ilfreed?

"Ellen's medical condition is getting slightly lighter. That's a good thing, no matter what, but if Ellen regains the strength he needs to perform his duties as king, the sight feud will reignite. As you know, the Kingdom of Santa Mana has learned to choose the heir to the throne on merit and merit."

"Instead, the candidates who wanted to succeed the throne were given the right and duty to form a team called the 'Royal Family' to assist the King."

And my father makes it up to me.

"That's right. This mechanism has the effect of alleviating to some extent the frustrations between candidates, but if you try to rub them into power, it's a big question of whether your gods can be kings or stay in the royal family. The scale of the spill will vary.

That's why we can't leave the royal knights (royal guards) guarding the royal family to anyone who puts their shoulders in a certain royal family. "

"But only a nobleman or a royal family can be the head of the Royal Knights in the first place?

"You're a marquis now, aren't you? If the Marquis isn't enough, who else is there? If there is a gap, can the Royal Knights (Royal Guards) who are plotting to replace the public house (Kokoke) in the vicinity!

"Damn, was the earlier episcopate a fabric stone for this..."

"Isn't that nice? And this is to protect you and your family."

"Protect us...?

"Look, I'm telling you, you seem unconscious, but now you're buying the jealousy of the nobles. Some people will resent the remnants of" Black Wolf's Fang "and" Yata-glass ".

This is a measure to protect me, but also to protect you and your family. "

…………

My father silences the king who comes to me with a serious look.

"Most importantly, there is also that Bowya thing.

When something happens, it's too far away in Wang Du and Corbett Village.

Also, Bowya would be less likely to stand out evil in the crowded King's Capital.

Above all, this king's capital is robust. Even if you become an evil man and the apostle of the evil gods tries to do something, you can't do what you want. "

"It's..."

"Besides, I'm called the King of Wisdom, but if we make reforms, someone will always resent us.

Of course I do, Eliza. The other two princesses may also be targeted.

In such a situation, there is absolutely nothing more comforting than having someone you can trust around.

Alfred, you think you can help me?

That being said, what a head the king bows to Father Alfred.

He must be a king, so he can appoint his father as the Royal Guard.

Still, I bowed my head and asked because I want to ask my old friend, Alfred Culén, not the Marquis de Culée, my subordinate...

Father looked at Mother Julia.

Mother grinned and nodded.

Whatever your father likes, I suppose.

"Or put your face up... it wasn't, put your face up"

My father said it with a sigh.

"Honestly, I feel like I'm only waiting for disaster to get involved in the court on my half elf...... ok. There's something about Ed, and it's Vis's favor.

- Royal Knights (Royal Guard).

"... helpful"

That's what the king said and breathed relief.

"But I don't have a mansion in Wangdu, do I? I don't think Royal Guards can do anything about not having a mansion in the Old Town, but you don't have any more land in the Old Town, do you?

The old town is surrounded by lakes and therefore has limited land. So my father had explained on his way here that the residential areas of the old town were already filled with leading royal and aristocratic mansions.

For this reason, they say that having a mansion in the Old Town is an understandable status above all for the nobility of the Kingdom of Santa Mana.

Nevertheless, my father is not talking about a mansion in the Old Town because he wants a status worthy of the Commander of the Royal Knights (Royal Guard). I'm simply saying that if you're tasked with protecting the royal family, there's nothing you can do about not living in the Old Town. Because the Golden Gate Bridge will go up at night, and the Old Town and the New Town will no longer be able to come and go.

"Of course, let the old town have a mansion. Initial costs shall be financed from the royal budget. The cost of purchasing a mansion should be in the form of a separate allowance to be added to your salary as a Royal Guard to offset that allowance."

"In the Old Town...? But there wasn't a mansion vacant in the old town, was there?

"Example, the Mansion of the Marquis Ferguson is empty"

"Marquis Ferguson's..."

My father had a rare, brilliant eyebrow root.

The king laughs bitterly at the way it is.

"I don't know how you feel, but don't look so disgusted.

I know he was an annoying pig warrior from you, but Ferguson, who was also a heavy Conservative town, was also famous as an artist's patron.

I've only stopped by once, but it was quite a hobby mansion. "

"Ferguson is going to resent me."

"He sees his head getting cold, and he admits his nonsense about that time. Of course, if I look at you, I may not be able to be normal, but I don't know if I can get stuck with you."

"If that's the case, thank you.

As soon as the next commander of the Third Party Army has been determined, he will take over and move to the King's Capital. "

"Please. Becoming king, there are so few things I can forgive. I'm thankful to have someone with me, with your strength. [M]

Only those who have sat on the throne will know this feeling of loneliness... "

A king who laughs lonely, unlike the nickname of a cheerful king (Mary Monarch).

The queen sitting next to her gently stroked the king's arm.

- Thus, our family was transferred to Monocanus, the king's capital of Santa Mana.
