Price of Management

Jeron said.

“But as extreme as it is in the matter of the Horn Empire, Prince Ligand refuses to intervene. If that decision goes wrong, there will be a headwind, and he's in a ditch without making a hole to get out. What do you think of this? ”

Louie replies.

“This is what the Ligand wants to do to the highest officials. ”

“Hmm?"

“The more decisively you oppose civil war intervention, the higher ranking officials will question it and attack you. ”

“If it turns out to be a wrong decision, the position of the ligand will be ruined, but if it turns out to be the right decision, the top officials will be turned upside down." ”

“Yes, Mr Ligand, you seem to be quite confident in your judgment. ”

If Jeron explained his national security and military strategies, Louie had an eye for political games and administration. The political interpretation of Caroc's walk was Louis' specialty.

Jeron shakes his head as if annoying.

“It's all annoying. I'd like to retire as soon as I can, just as much as I can. ”

Louie chuckles.

“I am very fortunate to have the greedy character of Prince Joon. ”

The ambitious Louis who seeks second place after Caroc.

His biggest competitor was Jeron, who was an unworthy opponent. It was fortunate for Louie that he had no desire to be promoted at all.

Jeron snores.

“Knock yourself out, Part Two. Instead, you should put me in a leisure position, thinking it's thanks to me. ”

“You mean the kind of place where you don't work and only burn? ”

“Exactly. ”

“I promise, if this country stabilizes. ”

“Don't put on a prerequisite like that. ”

I was talking and drinking.

A man enters the bar and approaches the two of them.

“Are you Baron Deckard and Louis Concern of the Department of Commerce? ”

“But?”

When Louis asked, the man answered.

“I am a servant of the late Duron. The Viceroy Duron urgently requests your presence. You said you had an urgent letter from Prince Ligand... ”

At that point, Lou and Jeron looked at each other.

Jeron's face twists.

“It's not business hours.... ”

* * *

Earl Duron summoned Jeron and Louie urgently because of a letter from Caroc.

Order the aftermath to ban any direct military action against the Horn Empire. They might attack Castel Castle. This is what Emperor Kars intended.

“Castel Castle is undoubtedly defenseless enough to seduce the landscape. ”

At Jeron's word, Louis helped.

“Earl Ranzhel seems confident enough to stand up to Emperor Kars, as it has so far. Castel Castle has a high likelihood of colliding with the Horn Empire and landfall. ”

The late Duron opens his mouth quietly.

“What worries me is headwinds. If Emperor Kars is hit by a major civil war, the position of the original ligand who was completely opposed to intervention will be shaken. In addition to the decree, the king's prestige, which, if wrongly forbidden, prohibits the intervention of the Jehovah Emperor. ”

At this point, Jeron and Louie kept silent.

The situation in the Horn Empire's civil war was unknown to wager on the dignity of King Erik.

If I do wrong, I will be able to crack the throne of King Erik, who was recovering a lot.

The elite officials, like the ones after the martial arts, only turn on the lights and wait for King Erik to see the gap.

Jeron suddenly opened his mouth.

“Can't we just deliver the meaning in a private letter, not a commandment? so that even if the decision fails, the damage will not reach you. ”

Louie disagrees.

“Your Honor. I think we need to push him clear. The dice have already been thrown, and now it's too late to separate Prince Ligand and the king's will. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Louie continues to speak to the contemplating Duke Duron.

“And there's only one Lord Ligand in all of the Kingdom of Ledon and the Kingdom of Orion who's been one-on-one with Emperor Kars. I think Prince Ligand knows best how powerful Emperor Kars is. ”

“I see.”

Duke Duron feels his eyes open.

It was Marquis Duron himself who brought Carroc to the throne, who hated him in the first place.

At that time, Carroc was reluctant to join the royal family because he had doubts about his ability to handle the country's ambassadors.

At that time, the late Duron said,

“Don't be afraid to fail. If you are blamed for your lack of abilities for your incompetence, say so. I was given permission by Philip Duron to fail. ”

Yes, it is.

‘I stood in the royal court, believing his eyes. Then you must trust me to the end! ’

The late Duron stands convinced.

“Tomorrow, at the court, I propose to the king myself. We have to give a commandment to the landlady. If you choose to take this position, you will not be held accountable to His Majesty. ”

“Your Excellency! ”

Jeron and Louie are startled.

Duke Duron insists.

“If the judgment fails, then the responsibility is on the old man. It would be a shame to lose your job as a retired old man again. ”

And the next day.

King Erik and the High Councillors of the Kingdom of Ledon converge, and the Duke of Duron bids it well.

“Your Majesty, we must give orders to prevent any military action against the Horn Empire." ”

Duke Duron has not stated that it is Caroc's opinion.

King Erik asks with a surprised face.

“Does the absence of the 11th Army mean that the borders of the Horn Empire have fallen apart, and the aftermath will continue to work?" ”

“Yes. They will seek to restore the damaged honor of taking Castel Castle back from the Baden negotiations. But it's just a small gain that ignites the embers. ”

“Your Excellency! What do you mean by that? ”

Then a middle-aged manager stepped forward. Earl Clevius. He was the chief executive officer who was paid back after being deposed.

“What weakness do you have in letting go of this moment when the enemy is gaping? ”

“Weak?”

Earl Duron turns on the twin stitches and looks for Earl Clevius. Earl Clevius was flawed.

“Then I suggest to my brave military brother-in-law. If my opinion is wrong, I will gladly resign my position as Chancellor. Can you take your place? ”

Earl Clevius became deaf and honey fed by the terrifying famine of Earl Duron.

“If you have no intention of doing so, return to your seat and reflect on your grumpy mouthing habits. ”

At that, I felt suffocated by the atmosphere of the war. Earl Duron mocks Earl Clevius for his fierce criticism.

Earl Clevius is blushing.

I didn't have the courage to speak up. I just walked away like a habit.

However, Earl Duron's violent reaction left Earl Clevius unable to retreat.

If you retreat quietly after hearing such things, you will be publicly humiliated.

“Very well! I'll take my chances too! ”

“Good.”

Duke Duron smiles.

Soon, Duron bows his head to King Erik.

“I won't be sorry for the commotion. Your Majesty."

“That's all right. But next time, it's on you. ”

King Erik gives you a light pint.

It was a mild reprimand that meant why he did not discuss the matter with himself immediately.

Duke Duron simply bows his head and apologizes.

King Erik opens his mouth to all the guards of the war.

“I will send a decree to Jehovah according to his will, because the spirit of the ashes is so great. During the Civil War, do not engage in any military action against the Horn Empire! ”

The decree was declared.

On that day, the royal messenger, who delivered the decree, departed for the Baden River basin after Jehovah.
