Hmm?

If there is any disturbing movement, it might make sense to explore it carefully, but with this kind of report

"Yeah, that was deliberate."

On purpose?

"That's right. Such an interlocutor is usually mixed in with servants with a face that doesn't eat anything." The mere servant saw something and caught his eye, so he put in a search -- if he did that, he would be suspicious. I don't specialize in infiltration or investigation. "

Wouldn't it be better to use an expert?

"Fufufu"

Lord?

"For example, I told you to leave you at Oscar's mansion and report everything you saw." Do you think you can find out something secret? "

...... Impossible. I'm too present to probe for secrets.

Leviathan replied in a slightly sinister tone.

They're noticing it too.

My question is essentially, "Let me tell you something I can't do."

"That's right, yours is too extreme, but so is the expert in exploration." If you're an Oscar, you can't miss the unusual sense of discomfort that people have. ”

I see.

"That's why I've ordered everything I bought to be reported as you see it, without going deeper." Instead, make multiple routes. "

While saying that, I took another letter that was repeated in the first letter I read. [M]

It's a report from another servant, the gatekeeper.

"Oscar's family had a serious expression when they entered, but they were very good at it when they came in."

Mmm.

“I still don't know what this is about, but I can guess the direction of the conversation.”

Hmmm... I didn't think that much of the main thing was amazing.

I smiled.

I was glad Leviathan had convinced me.

At the same time, I read two letters.

I don't know the specifics, but the speculation is that Oscar may have been instigated by his family.

I thought maybe they were after me in the war.

I knew I wanted to keep my trump card, Leviathan.

At the same time, I thought it was a little uncomfortable.

The way this intelligence network works is the result of my thinking.

Even if the accuracy is low, even if there is not enough information for each one, if you enter from multiple sources, it will be combined and somehow managed. That's what I thought.

It is a method of covering the quality with quantity.

The advantage of this method is that when something happens, multiple reports can tell you that something has happened.

If only one report is entrusted to quality, the question of whether it has really occurred cannot be dispelled, but if there are 50 or 10 reports that are entrusted to quantity, it will only be sure that "something has happened".

"What was my father doing?"

I know how awesome my father's ears are.

Father's work was of unbelievable quantity, quality and, above all, speed.

I think my father would have fully grasped the trend of Oscar at a time like this.

I don't know how Oscar moves, I don't know how he moves in the first place.

……

I don't know, but sometimes it has its advantages.

I don't know if Oscar really works.

Because I don't know, I can make it vague (,,).

Imagine Oscar's personality in your head.

Because of his personality, no matter what he does, he is more likely to refrain from moving while his opponent's hand is unclear.

Then we'll decide what to do.

As I looked up at the moonless night sky, I thought of a way to increase the number of cards that seemed obscure.

After my mood swings in the garden, I went back to the office to digest the rest of the government.

The Imperial Emperor is a busy man.

I imagined it to some extent when I saw my father, but I thought it was even sweet after I actually took the throne.

The emperor is 100 times as busy as I imagined before my reincarnation.

I don't have time to do sake pond meatloaf, but I get to take most of my time with me by just reporting and instructing me to come up from various places every day.

That's how I handle it now.

At hand is a letter from Evelyn in Almería.

As expected of my family who left my mansion.

Because I knew my policy well, I wrote a reply in red ink that I would leave everything to you.

Your Majesty

While doing so, one of the eunuchs spoke to me.

Raising his face, he saw a young eunuch like a boy behind his desk.

The boy knelt in front of me, raised his face and looked at me.

You've never seen a face before, have you?

"What? Ah, yes, it's called Luke."

The boy was a little puzzled and answered my question.

I put down my pen, wiped my hands with the handkerchief nearby, and asked more questions.

Luke, you're still young. How did you become a cadre?

"Yes, yes, for my sister's medicine."

I see.

I nodded tinyly.

It wasn't unusual.

Since there is a great premise of castrating the eunuchs, it is natural to give the incoming humans a cohesive dress money.

Rather, it feeds on it and collects numbers in a foolish way.

Therefore, the youngest son of a poor house does not have to inherit the house, so many people apply to the priest.

That's because that lump sum is definitely the price.

I was convinced that the boy in front of me was the same.

So, what happened?

"Ah, yes. There's a guy named Neil here--no, no, no, no, no, no...?"

Oh, my God, what are you doing?

"Yes! He's calling me Omedoli."

"Okay, let me through."

That's what I said with a smile.

The boy who was not yet accustomed to his job allowed Neil to do so, while being turned into a guilty officer.

Luke the Boy Pilgrim stood up, turned himself in a panic, and left the office.

After a while, Neil came in instead.

Neal stopped at the desk and bowed, following his style, on one knee.

Haha.

"Not this, Your Majesty?" Was there something wrong? "

I hate it. The boy was a newcomer, so I couldn't help but notice that you weren't good at words and manners, but you weren't good at manners either.

When I said it, Neil blushed and smiled.

"I can't do this."

“Well, you don't have to be polite without a loud old man.”

"That would be helpful."

Neil laughed and stood up straight.

So I thought it was one of the virtues of this man not to be more humble than necessarily.

Neil Noble.

Three of the Empire's greatest old generals, Damien Noble.

When Damian recommended his sons to the government a little while ago, he only recommended these three sons.

With the eldest son, the second son, and the fourth man.

Despite the fact that the honest samurai peddled his sons with various utterances, there was nothing wrong with this third son.

When I wondered about it, I looked into this three guys.

Then, unlike the other three brothers, he said that he was a man so talented that he could reveal his head without the recommendation of his parents.

People are treasures.

I couldn't stand or stand while doing that, so I went directly out and dictated it to my subordinates.

A man who has a talent for swords, but is not good at being "hard" in personality.

I thought it would be a waste of a man to get stuck in such a tough mold, so I told Neil that there was no need for courtesy.

I leaned back deeply against the chair and asked Neil in a completely stopped hand position.

So, what do you look like today?

"Please accompany me to the next conscription."

What, you want some help?

Is that the kind of place you want to be?

Hmmm.

I looked at Neil with a small nod.

I don't think any man is as far removed from the word "handle" as this man.

I thought he was a man who wasn't interested in tact or standing up for life.

It doesn't matter if you're escorting the princess, it's more useful than the others around you.

"Are you talking about Alice? Then I'm not going to leave it out of sight, so it's okay."

I see.

"But, well..."

I thought about it a little bit.

Neil is especially "usable" in my pawn.

I know you're loyal to me, even with your status.

On top of that, the sword's arm also stood.

I thought it would be a waste not to place it in a valid place.

……

I thought about it a little bit, and then a picture came up in my brain.

Well, there's one thing I want you to do.

"Oh, my God."

"Before that, we need to prepare ourselves. Go to the Fourth Chancellor and win as much as you can."

"Win? What are you talking about?"

"Let's start with that." In the meantime, I'll be ready. "

……

Neil stared at me a lot.

You just have to win to win, right?

Yeah.

"All right."

Neil nodded, turned over and walked away from the office.

I thought that was the only kind of talent I had for listening well and making decisions quickly.

After seeing it off, I...

"Someone."

"She shouted.

Then, Luke, the boy from earlier, came in.

Luke walked in in a panic and laid flat before the desk.

Oh, you wanted to see me, Your Majesty.

"Call the Minister of Military Affairs. I'll be in the garden, so let me go there."

Yes!

After responding, Luke tried to crawl out of the room.

I got up, too, and I left the room.

Walk down the hallway to where you want to go.

Soon the lady arrived softly and put her shoulders on me.

So that the night winds don't touch your body.

While receiving it silently, he left the garden with his footsteps intact.

The palace garden is lit everywhere, even at night.

I went to the pond relying on it.

There is an island in the center of the wide pond, and there is a Shia on top of the island.

There are stone chairs and tables inside Si 'a, which blend in naturally as a "part of the island"

I put down one of the stone chairs around that time.

The lady immediately brought tea.

The ice-cold tea refreshed and cooled my feverish head.

Place the cup on the stone table.

The iced cold tea dripped on the outside of the cup.

The first place where the lady left it and the place where I left it after drinking it.

I made a puddle of water in two subtle distances.

Henry flew in half an hour waiting to see it.

After crossing the bridge and landing on the island, he knelt down at the entrance of Si 'a.

We have summoned Henry Ararat, the military prince.

"Hmm, sit there." Tea for the military prince, too. "

I told Henry, who came, and the lady who led me.

Soon the lady brought Henry's tea.

It's the same precious ice cold tea I was drinking.

"Wow, back off."

Yes.

The officer retreated as ordered.

I gazed at the landscape of the garden without a second thought, and Henry looked sideways until the lady was gone.

After the lady was gone, Henry turned to me again.

At that time, I glanced at the cup I was drinking and two puddles of water.

“Do you want to call me in to discuss something confidential?”

Henry was quick to guess.

It is said that there are ears on the wall.

When talking about secrets, it's best to use places like these islands in the garden (,,,) where there's no place for anyone to hide.

The secret room is actually a bad thing.

At first glance, it looks like you won't be asked because it's surrounded by a wall, but I have no idea who's listening beyond the wall and how.

In this way, the place that is completely opened is the most suitable for private consultation.

Not anymore, but there was a competition called Hall Ball that was played among the nobles a few hundred years ago.

It's a competition where you can hit a stop ball with a stick and put it in a small number in a hole a hundred to a few hundred meters away, in a place that is so wide that you can see it as a prairie.

Although it was very popular as a competition, it can be said that there are hundreds to hundreds of meters per course more than that, it can be said that there are only two people in the vast stadium.

In other words, no matter what you talk about there, no one will ask you, so it's the best location for a confidential conversation.

Just like that, I chose this open place, a place where no one could hear me, and Henry immediately understood it.

Your Majesty?

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've been thinking about this for a while."

I played the drinking cup with my fingers and turned my attention to Henry.

"There's one thing I want to ask you. Are there people in the military service who have an excuse?"

"Is there a reason...?"

Henry frowned and looked at me with a strange look.

I didn't have to ask him, "Why did you do that?" It's like that face. "

"Oh, whatever. Anyway, there's a reason." I hope we have some troops if we can, but if we don't, we can have a few. "

"It's like a fool's squad of a hundred people....."

What kind of people are these?

"Originally, they were close to bandits, but that--"

“Oh, no, I'm not going to probe into that, I'm not going to tell you anything.”

"I'm afraid not."

“What matters is whether or not they listen to Henry.”

"That's right..."

Henry had a thoughtful look on his face.

I realized from my tone that this was an important question, and it sounded like I was seriously thinking about it.

"In the meantime, they were 'disposable! If you don't feel it, most of the time."

"Hahaha, these guys are easy to understand." Are you sure you can handle the candy? "

As expected.

Alright, let's do a little candy for the rest of you, 500 lien per person.

I'd like to thank them for this.

Henry stood up, gently folded his hips and lowered his head.

And sit down again.

"What did you want me to do?"

"You know Neil."

"Neil... are you a Noble child?"

Oh, I'll let Neil hold them and let them dive into the darkness.

Henry opened his eyes and was surprised.

"Why is that?"

“I'm putting foil on Neil right now, and if it works, Neil is the best. The most important of them was the Ministry of Military Affairs, which dived into the darkness with them. Henry, what would you do?"

"That's..."

That's what Henry said, another thoughtful look.

While waiting for Henry's answer, I alternately touched the two puddles of water in the cup and traced them to one with my fingertips.

"... I see, there was no one in front of me"

……

I smiled. [M]

“Who did you think was here?”

"The Fourth Chancellor, Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, you two are the opposite." Well, that's what happens. "

I started having a little fun and laughed out loud.

You're good, Henry. I didn't expect Audrey to come in.

Your Majesty, you've seen it.

Henry stood up, broke his hips and bowed.

When you use this Shia with someone, you can only talk confidential or take the concubines with you for two patterns of fun.

If you meet with Henry, this time, you'll be confidential.

However, in addition to that, Henry also raised the possibility of a pattern that brought the women with him.

I found out that if the possibilities weren't zero, I would consider them, and I had a little fun.

Let's get back to it.

Ha. With so many choices, the opponent becomes a suspicious demon.

"That's right, Neil will do it on his own." Even if I was actually just going to the Wumi Yukiyama somewhere, I was suspicious of that. I can't stop thinking about the possibilities. "

"That's right, Your Majesty." The opponent (,,) will definitely fall into suspicion. "

Yeah, that makes it easy.

I nodded and stood up.

I put my hands behind my back and turned around and looked at the pond.

"The Emperor's Guard has made it independent, but it's in the bright spot." You can sneak as many spies into it as you like. It's known for its existence, but I can't grasp the details at all, so I need a token that I can place in the darkness. "

“People are hesitant if they don't see it.”

"The smarter you are, the smarter you are."

With a small nod, he agreed with Henry.

Again, does that stupid regiment seem to be a good fit for this role?

With her hands behind her back, she turned her head and looked at Henry over her shoulder.

"Huh. I think it's necessary to include some feeding or causation." I'll take care of it. "

"All right, I'll take care of it."

I looked forward.

I looked forward and looked straight into the distance.

Henry shut up and waited for my next words.
