The first thing you need to start with is national unification.

The grudge remains because he was a little flashy.

All I have to do is release the tension.

However, relatives of the As family and the Rosais family are moving around.

The ex-Dibels were also very loyal, with some coming to hostages.

This seems to solve the time.

What I need to do is diplomacy with foreign countries.

The countries that border on our country are the kingdom of Belvedir in the south and the king of Evil in the west. And the kingdom of Equus east (Equus tribe) and the kingdom of Domorgarh in the north.

It is beautifully surrounded on all sides.

At present, the kingdom of Equus is friendly, and the enemy is kingdom of Demorgar.

And a little bad relationship is the kingdom of King Evil and King Belvedir.

Just as the king of Domorgar was a threat to our country, the king of Rossais was a big threat to the kings of Evil and Belvedir.

Originally (before I took the throne), the king of Rossais had a population of about 170,000, and the kings of Evil and Belvedir each had around 100,000.

There was still a considerable difference in national power.

However, the kingdom of Rossais has been suffering from internal and external illness, and has not been able to exert its power.

But there was a young new king called me.

The population of King Rossais' country is not known exactly, as it has not yet been censated, but is currently around 230,000.

Well, just as I would only know roughly the population of other countries, both would only know roughly the population of our country, but that their power increased significantly after the battle with the king of Demorgar. It's easy to imagine.

And national power is not something that can be expressed only by population and agricultural income.

The king of Evil had steelmaking technology early on, and outperformed the king of Rosais in quality.

The kingdom of Belvedir, which is close to the cities of Greece, goes above Japan for its building techniques and political system.

But its dominance is eroding.

Japan has been able to manufacture ironware and has hired a Christian.

And above all, a centralized system.

The kingdom of Rosais made great progress in the previous civil war.

Armies can be gathered several times faster than other countries.

What's more, I'm just getting up fast recently, so I don't know who she is.

Both countries will be scared and inevitable.

With the goal of unifying the Adernia Peninsula, I intend to annex the two nations, or drop them into dependent nations and a single nation.

However, it is still too early.

I want to concentrate on domestic affairs without a war for a while.

What's really scary is being sieved.

When it comes to multiplayer in a strategy simulation game, it's a common story that you overtake your game so badly that you hit a bag from neighboring countries.

Famous for its history, such as Nobunaga's siege network and contingency measures.

In short, it's super important to be around your neighborhood.

First, I went to the kingdom of Equus.

Despite being an important ally, the invitation came just right from Muzio. Wedding.

Yes, that guy finally gets married.

Last time I visited King Equus. Next, King Equus came for the throne ceremony.

So this time I head for King Equus.

Accompanying escorts are Yulia, Raymond and Rosward.

Others are answering machines.

The first thing I say is King Equus. Then he greets the Crown Prince Methyl.

It is said.

I'm on top, so come from the other person.

"It's been a long time. King Rossais.

"No, Methyl seems to be fine. By the way, how is your mother?"

I purposely told the third son Redus to sound.

It has the meaning of a little meanness and restraint.

The frustrated story, I'm already a king, so the weakness held by King Equus doesn't make sense.

In other words, I'm dominant now.

"I am fine thanks to Julia. It was really good."

Methyl smiles happily.

The rumor seems to be true: the prince is not good at martial arts and has a calm but gentle temper.

If he would be King Equus, he would be on par with him as a good ally.

I don't want to be very competent.

And the next greeting is Muzio, who is the main character this time.

"Come well. King Rossais."

"Well, it's natural for people to go to a friend's wedding."

Muzzio and I shook hands.

This guy can read the air a little, so he doesn't use his mouth against a king of the country. Although it is still a very rough tone.

"She is Laquera. She is my wife."

Muzio points to the woman behind her.

"Nice to meet you, King Rosais. I was sick last time ... I couldn't say hello. Sorry."

"No, don't worry"

Lakera carefully bows her head.

Long black hair with gentle eyes.

And my chest is big. That's the largest size I've ever seen.

If Tetra is a light cruiser and Yulia is a heavy cruiser, this person is a dreadnought. Vast ship cannonism.

Well, I like my breasts, but I don't have much obsession with their size, so I have no more emotion than surprise.

I hear Muzzio.

"So what happened to the reverse scale?"

"I'll give it at the wedding. Don't talk to me."

Is that a surprise?

"The wedding lasts three days. Please enjoy it."

Muzio bowed out of favor.

By the way, is Redos the third prince?

"... It's been a long time. King Rossais."

"... Yeah, Redos. You look fine ..."

What's that guy ... what's so dark?

The eyes are dead. It creates a very inaccessible atmosphere.

I thought I could say something, but Redus bowed away.

What is it?

The wedding took place over three days.

The first day is a banquet. This is to enhance friendship between the Equus clans. This time, Japan will join the circle.

On the second day, a temporary wedding.

This is because they swear a contract to their families, citizens, and vassals.

I owe to God separately.

However, the biggest wedding is this temporary wedding.

Send the gift to the bride and groom and state their congratulations.

By the way, 60% of the gifts are sheep, 30% are slaves, and the remaining 10% are famous horses.

As expected, the Equus tribe.

By the way, Japan gave wine and olive oil.

The wines and olives were delighted because the Equus did not grow much.

He gave the bride a garnet necklace, and the groom a Dragon Damascus steel sword that Ains had asked.

But maybe the garnet necklace was a failure.

It was complemented by the ornaments made of inverted scales that Mzio handed to Laquera. But is this what it is?

And the third day. A real wedding.

In short, swear marriage to the gods.

Well, no fun. Sacrifice the sheep, and many sorcerers pray, saying something like "Thank God, ancestors. We are married. We will do our best for the Equus."

To be honest I'm bored. Because I don't know the ancestors of the Equus or the gods of the kingdom of Rossais.

But Julia looked happy. Well, it would be nice if Yulia was fun.

The next day, I and Julia split.

Julia examines the Three Princesses again, and I reconfirm the alliance with King Equus and Prince Methyl.

"Then King Equus. Once again, the new king of the kingdom of Rossais, Almus as Rossais.

"Um, please."

First shake hands.

And I look at Prince Methyl. He is the next king, so he participates in this discussion.

If that is the case, you can smoothly take over the alliance.

"First of all, 300 soldiers in the last war were saved. I thank again. I was more than expected."

I say my true words.

In fact, that power is wonderful. Never let go.

"Speaking of horses, there is no other country on the Adernia Peninsula than Japan. Of course. Well ... do you talk about trade first?"

"We want wool and horses from our country. We still have the wolves and horses. The wolf fur and the dragon tusks and scales seem to be pleased."

As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as this you want to spit.

Even horses and sheep are raised in the kingdom of Rossais.

What I want is military power. That's it.

"Okay. Again, wheat and wine as before. And if you can afford it, give me the iron. The Lupus people don't have iron like we do. I can carry it. ''

Hmmm ... Isn't that good?

It's scary that the fangs turn here ... but that's a new story.

It's easier than being asked to send reinforcements. I don't think that infantry is the main country in the war between nomads and we can fight for good.

"I see. But I can't turn too much. This one is also a priority."

"I know that. Thank you as much as I can. Yes ... by the way ..."

King Equus puts a white stone-like object in front of me.

No, it's a little pink. is this……

"It's rock salt dug in my territory."

"Hey ..."

Hmmm, this is not a problem.

When the price of rock salt falls, our income also falls. Rock salt is one of the pillars supporting our national treasury.

"The problem is that we don't have the technology to dig this efficiently. So it's a suggestion. Would you give me technical assistance? I would give rock salt cheaper instead."

Inexpensive ... that is, it is cheaper than the list price.

That's not bad for me. Selling high to the Christians will make enough money and eliminate trade friction.

But why?

The one who answered my question was Methyl, who was silent until a while ago.

"South of our country is home to the Lupus people. Because of them, our country cannot trade with the Christians, and the Christians do not come to this country at all. So, those who left the kingdom of Rosais king Is going to work, and we are not good at business. "

It doesn't make sense.

The Equus want wheat and wine, not gold or silver coins, much less goldwork or persian glass.

So doing a bargain with King Rosais's country makes more money ... does that mean we get the wrong result?

Profit will increase and there is no reason to refuse. In fact, the worse of the relationship is the problem.

"I see. That's a benefit here too. Yeah, I'll support you, about the specific price ..."

The talk lasted until midnight.

"Ah……"

Redus was holding his head alone.

The face has a tired color and after tears.

A face like a baby who was crying. No, in fact, she was crying. He.

Why did Redus cry? The cause lies in the marriage of Muzio and Laquera.

In short, he's a broken heart.

The history of Redes' thoughts on Laquera dates back about ten years.

If I write the history of that thought as a sentence, it will not be caught in tens of thousands of characters, so I will omit it.

Laquera, by the way, doesn't think that Redos likes himself.

Muzio was only ahead of her gaze, and Redos and Laquera weren't really talking in the first place.

From Raquera's point of view, it's at the level of "Redus? Oh, third prince. What's wrong?"

So why didn't Redos confide with Laquera? Because it was chicken?

There is also it.

Redus is confident in martial arts, but cannot take a step forward when he wants to.

The word indecision may be appropriate.

But that's not all.

The reason is simple. Faction issues.

Inside the Equus there were three factions.

The first is the faction of the three princesses who had first born a boy, and their son, Crown Prince Methyl.

Another is the faction of the two princesses and their son Mzio, who are of high birth and have a second baby boy but are not likely to be interested in succeeding to the throne.

The third is a faction of a high-ranking princess, but the last princess to have a boy and his son Prince Redus.

When Redus was about seven years old, the faction of the one princess was larger, and it was said that he would certainly be appointed patriarchal.

However.

The two princesses went around for the support of the third princess.

For various reasons, there are two reasons.

One is that the second princess has no desire for power, and if she can only aim for her life, she will press all three against her.

The other is the father of the second princess.

The father of the two princesses was a warrior commander (corresponding to a general), and had the idea that it would not be possible to divide the country because of the stupidity of the Lupus.

Therefore, the fathers of the two princesses decided to set up the son of the third princess, Methyl Prince, according to the custom of the Equus, "A boy born earlier becomes the successor."

The testimony of the alliance is the engagement of Laquera, a relative of the three princesses, and Mzio.

In short, Laquera is a relative of political enemies for Redos.

You can't tell your thoughts, or you can get married.

"Oh ... oh ... I don't care about the patriarch ..."

Redus doesn't want to be a patriarch.

Since there is a desire for power that is above average, it is natural that we want to be true, but if anything, we want Laquera.

It is not the son who is most upbeat but the mother. Well, that's a common story.

"A wonderful proposal for you! Now you can get both the patriarch and Laquera!"

A strangely high tension voice came into Redus's ear.

As Redos turned around, there was a woman with dark hair.

From the color of the skin, we can see that the people around here are not at least Adernia.

The woman approaches Redus.

"Stop !!!!

Redus' mouth suddenly stops moving.

No, not just the mouth. I don't ask to say that my whole body has become a stone.

The woman grabs Redus's cheek with both hands.

"Well, it's useless. I'm stuck in my spells and I can't get out of it quickly. But the level of the sorcerer is low. That's why Princess Julia's curse is easy."

The eyes of the woman and Redos match.

Redus's eyelids don't move with him. I can not look away.

"Now you should do it, it's easy, kill your father and kill your two brothers. Kill all those who rebel. The method is simple. You can get both Laquera girls, right? "

The woman told Redus for a while and then left.

Redus, who was left behind, looks around in a hurry.

"Huh? What happened? No memory ..."

Redos looked around for a while, but nothing changed.

It's as if time flies.

Redus went to bed, wondering.

"Well, it's a good thing. I said it's two months in the shortest time. So, when I think about preparations, maybe a year later. Well, I have to set up another country.

The woman-Mari walks on the meadow while skipping.

It was thanks to the intrusion from the sky that she was able to enter easily. Originally, Elie is a black flying dragon, so it is hard to notice and you can control the wind so you will not be noticed by the wind pressure. There are also internal collaborators.

"Well, Redos is a soft guy. It's usually not that easy."

Hypnosis using magic. This is difficult.

First of all, I don't let you dislike what I hate, and I usually get noticed during my suggestions.

Brainwashing in a state where it can be forcibly tied and repeated many times is easy, but it is important to take redos.

Fortunately, however, Redos himself had little tolerability and was mentally involved.

And he is also aiming for the patriarchal status and woman.

If you just want to get a little motivated, you don't have to work that much.

"The problem is that I'll find you halfway ... yeah! I don't have to intrude dignifiedly as a guest from the Roselle kingdom. Try!!"
