Returning to Earl Ranzhel, Jason felt a deep fatigue. The fatigue was caused by irritation.

“That crazy old bastard. ”

Jason finally uttering a curse he wanted to inflict in front of Earl Antares.

This aftermath meeting on the subject of 'Risk of Caroc Ligand’ ended after a ridiculous discussion of 'Cooperation with the Horn Imperial Court.’

Earl Antares' logic for bringing the story to life was this:

The military power of the Horn Empire.

Kars is a military genius.

And the economic power of post-emergence.

When all three things come together, won't human history be more agitated than ever? They argued that we might accomplish a task that even the Grand Duke of Cross Bezalius could not, but that we should be trapped in a small framework called the Kingdom of Leaden.

“Crazy……. ”

When Jason recalled that explanation, he was only insulted.

Pathetic, the fact that the four others' natural climates began to find the proposal quite attractive.

We conquered the continent?

We?

‘What nonsense. ’

Even if conquest is achieved, it is emperor Kars who makes it, not us.

What Emperor Kars expects from us after we are on the shore is the Baden River, which will be the main supply route to conquering the continent. Do you think Emperor Kars, the genius of ambitious warfare, will leave that important area to the landscape?

The basin of the Baden River, which would be the point of winning and losing continental wars, was used by the Jehovah Empire to call for civil wars.

“This is absurd. The old man's crazy. ”

Jason admitted one thing though.

Obviously, the delusion of conquering the continent and working hand in hand with Emperor Kars is sweeter than the situation under threat from the Horn Empire.

However, if the landscape moves against the tower of Earl Antares, one in six should also make a decision.

Jason returns to Earl Ranzhel confused.

Elegant mansions surrounded by thousands of angels set on a 200-metre tall, nocturnal garden. The garden flowed into a stream of ground water that was pulled up, creating a sweet garden.

The villa, which was born in just two months after the suburbs of Lerdon, was the Earl Ligand. It was my nest, also nicknamed "Paradise of Heaven," because it became the name of the Kingdom of Leaden.

I felt proud as I watched the sunset soaking red from the terrace on the third floor.

The view of the mansion overlooking the sunset was elegant like a fairytale world.

A life in a mansion designed by Baron Robert Paoni, the genius architect, with two beautiful, good wives. I couldn't help but be impressed by my second happy life, which was clearly different from my previous life.

I was soaking on the terrace outside my bedroom on the third floor, enjoying the tea. After seeing the royal work at the palace, Julia and Sis went out for a shopping trip after leaving for dinner. You're supposed to be shopping during the day and greeting your husband after dinner!

Well, not bad. Not even this alone time.

But then, someone knocked on my bedroom door.

“Lord, it's me. ”

It was the voice of Baron Evan Taylor.

“Come in.”

Recently, Evan, who was an accomplice to Earl Wolfgang Lanzhel, was now under my command as a contractor called "Janitor of Ranzhel."

Evan is currently running an intelligence organization and is gathering a number of confidential information, which means he has something important to tell me at this late hour.

“Am I interrupting? ”

Evan suddenly asked as he watched the sunset on the terrace. I shook my head.

“No, it's okay. So what's going on? ”

“Not long ago, after I came to the gymnastics, I had a meeting. ”

“After-school?”

“Yes, I've gathered at the Count of Antares, but it was Earl Lindell who requested a meeting. ”

“Earl Lindell? So this is about me. ”

“Yes. Perhaps I was frightened by the power of the Grand Maester himself." He must have been thinking about how to stop him from using animosity to perform his skills. ”

Of course you are.

Even if I think about it, it must have been rather severe to destroy two of Earl Lindell's castles.

Earl Lindell also made an urgent response, such as gifting a ‘Necklace of Energy' with tracking magic or planting Prince Andrew Guerrilla as a spy for Expert, but without any success, he decided to discuss it with someone else.

By the way, the Necklace of Energy was given to Arthur after removing the Trace Magic through the Magic Guild. Arthur asked me to give him something so expensive, but I didn't know what to do.

Baron Andrew Guerrille, who is my false pretender, will be fighting the monsters hard in my countryside, Earl Ligand. Earl Lindell's gift, like Mo.) I'm a good fighter for Expert, so I'll have to work on that.

“But you were reunited at the Earl of Antares? ”

“Yes. Earl Lindell requested a meeting, but the castle is in a mess because of the earthquake, so the meeting place must have been captured by Earl Antares. ”

Earl Antares...

I liked the name.

In his past life, he has been known to lead the charge after the death of Earl Wolfgang Lanchel. Since he was the oldest of the six people after the martial arts, it may have been natural.

In the history of his past life, however, Earl John Antares was written as a fool who fell for the deception of King Kars and left the fall of the Kingdom of Leaden behind. In other words, he was caught up in the plot by Emperor Kars to divide the Kingdom of Leaden from the landscape.

“What kind of a person is Earl Antares? ”

I asked Evan for confirmation.

Evan replies.

“Earl Wolfgang Lanzhel, who died, said he was flattered, but smart, but had a habit of overestimating his wisdom. ”

“You mean someone who's overly ignorant of his ancestors and can make a grave mistake? ”

“Yes.”

As expected…….

The puzzle fits perfectly.

In his past life, Earl Antares was convinced that he could work with King Kars to bring about a resurrection, and that after the fall of the Kingdom of Leaden, he was also betrayed and destroyed by King Kars.

Through my previous experience, I learned of Emperor Kars' next march.

Emperor Kars must have wanted to divide the Kingdom of Ledon and the landscape. And the divided book leaves Earl Antares in the lurch.

Now, of course, a lot has changed from my previous life.

The Kingdom of Ledon has allied itself with the Orients to prepare for the demise of the Horn Empire, and of the six families after the Sixth Reich Earl Ranzhel has been trying to establish a system of cooperation with our Kunt family.

Depending on how Jason Ranzhel impacts the landscape, the fisticuffs might not fall into the fist book of King Kars. I felt like I had to trust Jason now.

“Evan, keep an eye on the situation after school. Especially Earl Antares. Watch for signs of a secret contact with the Horn Imperial Court. ”

Evan took notice of my instructions.

“You think Jehovah might be working with the Horn Emperor? ”

“Yeah, it's just a hunch. ”

I can't say that I know through my previous life experience, so I had no choice but to ignore it as an intuition.

“I understand.”

Fortunately, Evan accepted my instructions without raising any further questions.
