Episode 373: Things Are Bad

Southern Euglia Mission Return

"The raid on the hardlet is a failure. No one escaped."

"Right."

Wilhelmina answers Zaphnes' report without changing one complexion.

"Have they said anything?

Wilhelmina returns a glass of drinks without zeroing a drop.

"No, Hardlett didn't seem to report it to the royal family. I also cautioned the spy I had been sneaking up on, but there were no early horses in the king's capital or in the territory, and he seems to be going home as planned. There's nothing to talk about but a street management deputy running around crying."

"I'm not going to make a scene. I don't doubt King Gordonia..."

Wilhelmina takes a small sigh laughing sarcastically.

"Assassination failed, dozens of spies who struggled to infiltrate were wiped out... you were scattered"

Zaphnes releases the rest of the report to the table and pours liquor into the glass.

It's not an unfortunate look though.

Zaphnes was a soldier fighting on the battlefield in the first place and was neither good at nor fond of plotting.

"The strength of the hardlets outside is for all to keep their mouths together. It can't be that easy."

"Isn't fate a discord between the royal family and him? That didn't seem to work either."

"It's a shame there. I was hoping half of it would work."

Zaphnes emptying the glass pours the liquor again.

The negotiations and every other plot were over. There are no more jobs left.

"We all acknowledge his strength, but I wonder how his head is. Shouldn't it still have been easier to understand? Maybe he didn't notice the paperwork, the gold or the coins."

"As far as I'm concerned, I was going to make it pretty easy on you. That's just too blatant. Even if Hardlett was more foolish than rumored, I'd notice him around."

Wilhelmina changes the subject as she realized after saying that much.

"That slightly missing man beside the hardlet, you see what he's got?

Zaphnes nods small when he fumes.

"It was definitely here... there was. His name seems to be Tristan, and he may also accompany the military in a position like near Hardlett's. I've been entrusted with a team in battle. Details are here."

Wilhelmina's eyes narrow as she glanced through the paperwork.

"Don't you know any more about his personal background?

"I'm a civilian from the southern village. I can't chase you any further."

It's not hidden and untraceable.

In the first place, we couldn't find out about the genealogy and clan patterns of the civilian population in Komura.

"It would be pointless to examine the origins and the gates."

Zaphnes continues with a sigh of relief.

"I checked the perimeter of the hardlet on your orders, but it's amazing in a way. Only Baron Hutier holds the title under his authority. After that, they're all on a suspicious level even where they're from."

A delightful laugh sounds.

"Isn't he appropriately picking up his men from those villages? Other than that, I don't know the background of my real wife, and the side room is filled with ladies of indigenous origin and nobility. Lately, they even have wheat-skinned women who seem to be from the Empire. Anyway, there are too many women out there, I don't know why, I've never seen a colorful man like that."

Zaphnes laughs like a tear, but Wilhelmina didn't ride.

"I'll try to find my men in those villages, too."

The laughter disappears from Zaphnes and he coughs up uncomfortably.

Wilhelmina only moves her eyes and looks at him.

"Hardlett's men are all excellent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used my head to deal with him. I can't think of myself as incompetent with all that subordination."

"... maybe we're just lucky"

Says Zaphnes with a complicated look.

"That's the trouble. One who is wise, one who is good at measures, one who can do both, but one who is lucky, can do nothing."

"... something like that... hmm"

Not responding to Zaphnes saying something unconsciously, Wilhelmina continues.

"The hardlets were stronger than expected, but Goldonia was weaker than expected. If we get ready down there, we might be able to spin it more... but I don't know if time will be on our side."

Wilhelmina raised her cheeks small.

"Shall I shake it first and identify it? Depending on the reaction, I'll stay put."

"That's sudden...... the reorganization of the whole army isn't perfect either. I'll give you a minute."

"Two weeks. That's not worth a damn army you can't move."

"Still tough."

Wilhelmina fixes the order that Zaphnes began to write with a bitter smile from the side.

"It's not" war, "it's" exercise. "We've mobilized all our troops to prepare an exercise for border defense."

"Exercise. So what's the name of the exercise?

Wilhelmina looks out the window.

Countless grasses were sprouting from the earth of Goldonia at the end of winter, turning into vast meadows.

"The name of the exercise is' Green '. You want the meadows to end in the green."

The day is near when there will be a storm on the central plain.

"Let me tell you something, by the way."

"What's up, Zaphnes?"

"They say the hardlets are pretty strong, but I'm pretty good with swords, too."

"Well, if he comes to me, I'll leave it to you to run away."

"I'm lucky you picked me up in the middle of nowhere as a defeated general."

"I guess so."

"When I was in the Empire, I had it for women. I don't think we're gonna be late for a hardlet with as many of them as we can get."

"Right."

"And then... no, it's nothing"

Xafnes cut the words as he felt Wilhelmina blatantly lose interest.

Rafen Mansion

"Are you sure you don't want to report to the Kingdom?"

It seems Celia still cares about the aftermath.

"You decided not to report it. See?"

I see Tristan.

"Witnesses aren't vampires...... you might be able to take the back from her story and grab some evidence, but they might think the king is wearing this one the other way around in that way. You better not move."

Celia roars muffled when Tristan denies it and Leopold agrees.

I can't help saying that I've already made up my mind.

"I'm sorry about the deputy."

The attack on me turned out to be just a burglar raid.

In that case, it would mean the fall of the administrator's deputy.

There's no reason to tell the truth before a deputy who desperately apologizes, but he made a difficult face.

"Actually, I was just thinking about Nonna's milk."

"Already!"

Nonna leans over with great pleasure as she complains.

"But you ended up eating that guy's wife."

This is Celia. Don't say anything unnecessary. The look on Nonna's face disappeared.

There is no such fact in the first place.

I just had my male roots licked a little because I really say so. I'm not cheating on you.

"Yes!"

"Oh, big. You're going to suffocate."

"Ugh... it's ugly big tits"

Leoporto somehow leaves the room when he's jealous and forgiving Nonna for putting his chest on his head.

Leoporto, who came back a few minutes later, turned his ear to me without worrying about Nonna snagging or anything.

Nonna on your right, and Leopold on your left. What the hell.

"Governor Magrad Jill Gray, the border ambassador has been detained on suspicion of participating in an earlier King raid."

"What?

"That man assassinated the king!?

Celia, who was pulling to get away from Nonna sticking to me, also unwittingly speaks up.

Beyond the door you can also see Petite Cherry.

Perhaps she rushed to get the same information.

"Ah, that's tough. I'm a little sleepy, so can I lie down?

Somebody kick Tristan's ass.

"Ouch!"

But nonna stood up in a hurry without having to kick her ass and stuck her on Tristan's feet.

Her body was propped up by me, but Tristan was treading on her heels.

"But Jill Brown took the king. It's not weird that he resents the previous ruling because he's going to have it in his roots... but he's going to come to me again if he's coming."

They said they would punish him severely if he did it next time, but it doesn't matter what he thinks of hitting the king with it.

"Mmm-hmm."

Twisting his head, he meets Petite Cherry and his memories come back to life at that moment.

Petite cherry's tongue-in-cheek expression leads to Rebecca's tight ass, a not-so-big chest, and a sweaty side.

Isn't this one of the ploys Rebecca was telling Eirich before?

If I hadn't told anyone because they said it was an absolute secret, I would have forgotten it, too.

But now that it's happening, you can tell Leopold or so.

"Leoporto, come here for a second"

Let go of the nonna I held and take Leoporto's hand.

"Uh... hey, why... why don't you let me go and get Leopold..."

Nonna is stunned.

Stop saying that like you chose Leopold.

I took Leopold out in the hallway with no one. I'll tell him it depends.

"I understand the history. Let's move on from here."

Leoporto says without changing his expression in particular.

"But in the future, I want you to tell them on the spot. The response will be behind us."

The guy from Leoporto seems quite angry.

"Rebecca told me it was an absolute secret, so I don't know what else to do, but she said it would be tough in case it leaked."

"Then tell me. Forget all about Sir Hardlett. You don't have to worry about the leak."

I see, maybe so.

"It's already happened. There's nothing you can do now. I understand the intent of this ploy, but it won't lead to good results, will it? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to need your help."

"Ooh, okay. But I still have something to say."

I feel ridiculed again, but is it my fault?

"We pass unknowingly without extra mouth. Sir Hardlett wants you to do the same."

Leopold, you're not going to answer me.

"Dear Eigil... how long have you been talking to that man, no way is he really manly -"

Nonna came for a peek.

I have to try not to make you worry too much.

Leoporto just leaves when the conversation is over.

I have to remind him of my wit one day.

"Maybe it's a good game Myra and Celia play a lot."

How intelligent that game is to move the pawn a little bit on the board.

Leoporto doesn't look like he's going to play games or anything, and if Celia taught me how to play it, I wouldn't lose.

"Hehe, I look forward to seeing Leopold's regrettable face"

I quickly taught Celia the rules, three straight fights to try with Nonna I was watching with next door - and vividly losing three in a row and sticking it up to my desk.

That shouldn't be the case, even Tristan, who was looking at him with a sleepy face, saw the battle plugged but also lost three times in a row, which also suffered such a one-sided disastrous defeat that Celia looked sad.

Eventually, the plan to return Leopold to the game was frozen, and he decided to go to bed unfaithful with instructions to fill Tristan's dinner with beans.

And a few days later, things didn't roll the way Rebecca thought they would, as Leopold predicted.

In Rebecca's opinion, Jill manages to be captured as a mastermind, the king's heart settles, and the hostility directed against all around her is soothing, and a large circle, and then she herself pokes the mastermind and gives up the stock... I guess she planned to.

Jill, while a certain man is a big man in the position of Governor Magrad and can convince the King, he has been under considerable authority by the Vice Governor of the Kingdom since making a scene with me, and even if he suddenly disappears, he is not so much of an obstacle to his affairs.

He was exactly the kind of man who existed to sacrifice. But reality doesn't work that well.

According to what Eirich told me, the king, who heard of his captivity, went to interrogation with his own whip without concealing his passion.

So he lost his sanity to the anger of the king and his fate to wait later. Anyway, it seems he gave his acquaintance his name and justified it.

Normally, of course, it seems like the kind of bullshit you'd find after losing your sanity, but now the king can't think of things so calmly about Rosario.

Eirih and Rebecca desperately took it and held it down as just half the talk, but they lied from where he said it was the mastermind in the first place, so everyone with eyes on it is a wet catastrophe.

As a result, more nobles were turned to suspicion by the King, and the situation became even worse.

The king, Jill... is beginning to execute his body, ancient ginseng's men, etc. while connecting him to a cell to make him throw up more information as a mastermind. Not far away, it's written in such a way that you can hear a sigh of sigh that the range will expand to the nobles named from his mouth.

From there, the letter ends with a grudge verse against Rebecca, who has consequently anointed the fire.

……

"Looks like you got it right."

I give the letter to Leopold, who stands behind me silently.

He glances through his eyes and then lights the letter.

"I guess. If you were to do it, you should have left yourself dead and let the proximity or servant who promised to release you tell you how it went. People don't know what they'd do if they drove them to their dead places."

Naturally, Leoporto adds that those who use it will not be far away from dying of illness or accident.

"I could have done it if you'd told me in advance, but I can't help it if this happens. The strategy around southern Euglia will need to be revised. You'll need to make a quicker decision in the future, so we'll report everything ex post, okay?

"Stop whispering disgust with no expression. I don't care what you report. Celia will be angry, so don't stir it up."

The sound of a knock jumps in there.

It's Sebastian, the butler.

Excuse me, sir, we have a messenger from the Southern Eugenian Empire.

Me and Leopold face each other.

Oh, he's a little surprised, too. The expression doesn't work, but I can tell.

This time the messenger was not a person for negotiation purposes, only a unilateral notice...... in other words, it was close to a decree.

There are four main points.

"Conduct massive exercises nearby"

"It is meant to integrate the soldiers of the three integrated countries, Liberties, Altair and Vandrea, with no intention of intimidation at all"

"If you want to send a watchman, I'll accept it."

"I make a small gift to Sir Hardlett, who borders the territory with the King of Goldonia as a price to make noise in the territory"

"We will prepare for war."

Leoporto says it off shortly after the messenger returns.

"Will it?

"The king must misrespond. And the king will surely err."

Leoporto runs out.

Tristan has also rushed for something.

"Then I have no choice, I'll leave everything to you. Free to use Tristan, too."

"What, all of a sudden I'm free to use?

"Exactly. Call Adolf, too."

Leoporto says to Adolph he put on it.

"The war became inevitable. I need you to move your territory on the basis of Plan Thirty, which we discussed before."

"Is it number thirty... an emergency plan to mobilize everything in the realm... is it really necessary?

Adolf looks at me with a troubled face.

Let's spare the hair from the top of our heads from deciding on an important plan for the two of us without me as lords.

"I need it. The kingdom is confused. Pretty bad if they set me up right now."

Adolf drops one sigh.

"... ok. Now you're going to blow everything you've ever done fine."

Keep a voice out for Adolf dropping his shoulders.

"You know what? If you lose and perish, everything will be over. Leoporto and I will do everything we can not to do that. Tristan will also give up his life to defend his territory."

"No, I don't want to die. Good luck with the payroll, 'cause if you can't do anything about it, you're gonna run, right?

"What is it about forgetting Master Agir's grace and running away!

"Wow! Mr. Celia, when?!

Exchange words with Leoporto on the ass with the two shouting.

"You think you can win?

"The forces in southern Euglia will reach 150,000 at all times, and 200,000 if we mobilize further. Given the strength of their armies, you can't win very much on your own."

It would be easier if you told me it was an easy win.

"If the Royal Army can fight properly, it can hold up well enough for the status quo. If it is a lasting war, there will be a local advantage and a productive Goldonia will gradually benefit."

"Really..."

The Royal Army is not weak.

In the first place, the conditions should be more favourable than my army, which is my army.

Conditions are quite different, especially for my army, which is recruited from the realm and taught by Myra and Irijina in the quality of the sub-middle commanders, and for the Royal Army, which gathers the best from the whole territory to build and train schools.

"Yes, if we move straight. In this case, we must immediately assemble all the troops and stick them on the southern border."

"It'll be hard."

The Royal Army is now scattered throughout the country in preparation for the rebellion of suspected aristocrats.

I wish I could just gather all of that in the south.

"It is the king who gives that order. 'A small gift' will decide that."

……

There is no doubt that a gift to the King will be given not to the King himself, but to Rosario by his side.

And if she likes the gift, if she smiles, the king will be easily de-alerted.

"I'm guessing all of this."

Tristan enters the conversation as she holds her ass down.

Celia looks satisfied next door. Apparently he got his ass kicked around.

"If the Southern Eugrian Empire is going to war without question, there's no point at all in saying what an exercise is and keeping them alert. So maybe Empress Wilhelmina is going to figure out how vulnerable Goldonia is. If you've quickly assembled all the troops at the border, exercise them properly and that's it."

"What if I was happy and alert to the gift?

Tristan said with disappointment that he would return it.

"You're gonna get more jobs that I hate."

Words can be broken.

"By the way, it said the messenger would give me a gift, too."

It's a complicated feeling to get things from someone who's ready for war, but on the contrary, I wonder what you brought.

"It's about that, but there are about ten ladies on your doorstep." Because we are gifts, we want them to belong to Lord Hardlett. "

Sebastian rarely breaks into conversation.

But I was rushing to the front door before I heard everything.

My lower body moves on its own.

Three men in the back are saying something.

"I will keep the seal of decision and the seal of correction. The military paperwork will not be turned over to Sir Hardlett for the time being. We will process it here."

"It's a complete transcendental act, can't you help it at this time?"

"It's still easier for you to just play with women than wander around poorly,"

"Woman again... Woman again... I knew I had to implement that plan"

I can also hear Celia's angry voice.

I'll buy you a cake later.

Of course I'm not stupid either.

I know what it's like to give a woman away to keep me alert and boned.

"But I'm sorry to hear that. Home affairs and the military go on without me in my territory, so there's nothing in the way of being boned out."

Waha, Wilhelmina torn.

"Well apart from that..."

I take some letters out of my nostalgia.

"No, originally, why don't you just ask?"

When I returned the letter to my nostalgia, I headed to the front door.
