Price of Management

“Neither Prince Jis nor Prince Giren have any silves, so they're sleepy and tired of playing. And now that your husband has severely vomited to the lords and returned, what fun are we going to have? ”

“Oh, I see. ”

I stroked Julia and Sis' heads. The two women leaned their heads slightly towards me, making it a good stroke. Wives who like to pet me like a child.

Hmm, since I'm used to dealing with spirits, I feel like my wives are becoming more and more childish as I treat children with habit. Actually, that's why it's cuter and more adorable. I wish we could still do this when we get older together.

“So, how was it? The way he is. ”

“That was so cool. ”

Julia hangs by her side, making love.

“Honey, how can you talk so well? ”

“Hehe, don't you know yet? I eat with one mouth. That's all there is to it. ”

“Kahaha, what is that? ”

“That's why I'm retiring early. There's a limit to what I can do with my mouth. ”

“Well, I don't know. I think it's okay because there's no limit to what you can say. Besides, all the hassle is left to the underlings anyway. You think you don't know what you're doing, handing over a lot of work to that bastard Concern? ”

“That's why we need to do it sooner. Why don't you just give up on Louie? ”

“Okay, that's enough. I can't help but get caught up in it. You know, after 40 years of retirement, I nailed him. ”

“Tsk... ”

I was disappointed with my tongue.

But that's just a look to show Julia. I was already pretending to be an early retirement plan.

Given the current interior situation of the Kingdom of Leaden, much of the work of the treasury was closer to the 'treasury system’ which was handled by Louis, the treasury registrar.

Using the fact that the creator of the exhibition system, "Maneuver Administration," I deliberately put Louis at the center of the administration and left the business behind.

Just like I went to save Duke Meutt not long ago, I have a lot of work to do as a senior spirit during the war. So the general desk job was the notion of leaving it to Louis as "temporary."

Not "temporary," of course.

I plan to continue to maintain this system until I'm forty years old and retire. Only sentiment is still used, but the real prize is Lou. I'm comfortable and Louie's doing the most important national job he's ever wanted.

It was an act that could be done because no one could touch me in the royal court. Sometimes there is a word that troubles my laziness, but there is another excuse I can defend myself against every time.

The fact that I'm a spirit.

Originally, the animist hates being tied to an organized society. I'm also working hard for such spirits, so please consider it.

I have to, I really don't have to work as hard as I do and be a bright social spirit. I want to stay in a quiet place like all the other spirits.

Anyway, I don't feel that the financial department's reporting system is confusing and the boundaries of the two departments are slightly obscured because Louis is doing my job for me.

Well, I don't know about that.

That was only a small matter that could be cleared up in one day if the work ghost Louis was formally reconciled. It means that whoever succeeds Louis will not have the same powerful authority as Louis now. It's not a structural issue, it's just Louie and I are special. I assure you, if I go out and Louis becomes the Chancellor, the royal court will be transformed into a sword of precision and swiftness in one month.

I think I'm pretty good at this kind of thing, hahaha.

The next day.

After being summoned to King Eric's temporary office, key members of the royal family were gathered. I also saw the diplomatic merchant Hazel Duron, who went to the Orient Kingdom to urge the dispatch of the military.

Hazel Duron has returned, which means he's been summoned to the Order of the Orients.

I quickly learned of the situation and greeted King Erik. King Eric greets me warmly and opens his mouth.

“Welcome. I heard about yesterday. You've impressed many lords with your famous speech, haven't you? Hahaha.”

I'm not impressed.

I scratched my head.

“Thanks to you, we won't have any trouble controlling the lords for a while. You can't avoid a fight, and you have a mission to win. ”

Earlier, the attitude of the lords had not actually been somewhat passive. It's because he had more nerve in preserving his territory's troops than winning the war. Since we don't want to hurt each other and take any risks, King Erik's leadership leads us to make fun of Roundhorse.

The loyal royal lords followed King Erik well, but those who were Jehovah clans secretly disagreed and braked, and the Neutral Wave did not interfere with their own affairs, but both parties' attitudes.

In that situation, it was a good outcome for me to become acquainted with Earl Acaras' Grand Duke, Lofel.

Lofel, represented by the architect Earl Acaras, is now cooperating with me, and other neutral lords cannot be unaffected.

“By the way, is this about the members of the Orient Royal Army? ”

I turned to the topic and asked. King Eric nodded and stared at the bird, Hazel Duron.

Bird of Hazel Duron opens his mouth.

“As a result of the call to the Orient royal troops, I returned first to confirm the departure of the First Army. ”

“We have received reports from the border to the Orient Kingdom. I heard the Royal Orion troops have crossed the border. But this morning, the scouts who were also spying on the presence of the Horn Empire troops just reported in. ”

“Did Emperor Kars make a move? ”

King Erik nods at my question.

“An army of roughly 50,000 troops marched eastward rapidly. ”

“50,000 Cavalry... Nomads. ”

“That's right. They're going to attack the Orion royal soldiers. He's planning to retreat or do some serious damage before he joins us. ”

“You'll probably have a unique nomadic ambush tactic, so it looks like the Royal Orient will have a lot of difficulty getting here. ”

A military brochure, Jeron said.

It's obvious. They will run, run, fall, and harass you again and again with their quick maneuvers.

I thought about it for a moment and asked.

“By the way, who is the First Army and who is the commander? ”

“70,000 troops and the commander is Lord Samnam Rael of the Duke of Britain. In keeping an eye on the situation, the Orient royal family said they would send more Second Sons. ”

“Keep an eye on the situation? You should keep an eye on him for a long time. ”

Duron nods powerlessly at my muttering.

If the Orient Kingdom truly strives to defeat the Horn Empire, it must be under 200,000 troops and the commander must be the Duke of Britain, whom the Orion King trusts the most.

But Raell Briton at 70,000....

Maybe it's the right troop size and manpower.

The Orion royal plan is to wait for the Horn Empire to bloodied and destroy us, then take over the fishing grounds.

For now, we have sent only 70,000 troops to prevent our Kingdom of Leaden from being easily defeated.

And Lael, appointed to be Lord Commander, is the third and potentially successor to Duke Britain. Being able to act actively by judging the situation on their own. He was worthy to pass his judgment on to the Orion royal court as he watched the war unfold.

The Orient Kingdom will continue to watch over the entire country through Raell. And it is only when I think I should actively intervene that I will come forward with all my might.

Advance for fishery.

That's the identity of the Second Army.

“You don't hide your nasty insides in the middle of this. ”

I kicked my tongue thinking of the vanity and ambition of the Orient King.
