Price of Management

The next day at the meeting, Louie reopened a scheme that he had mentioned to me yesterday.

“There is a ploy to prevent the conspiracy of the Orions to profit from the sight of the Horn Empire and our war. If the intention succeeds, it will be simpler than I thought. ”

“Do you have any such plans? Then tell me quickly. ”

King Erik, who is of great interest to you, cares.

Louie said.

“This is a way to stimulate the Orient King's predisposition to power. ”

King Orien was a monarch who established an absolute kingdom after annihilating all the major nobles. After his ascension to the throne, he could see how obsessed he was with strengthening the throne.

The most important decision of the National Intelligence Service was also part of the consolidation of the throne after private consultation with Duke Britain and Earl Raymond. The other principal was to make a decision that the opposition had no room to take its own opinion.

In a way, the tyrannical nature of the tyrant was a wealthy figure, but so far the Orient Kingdom has worked well as the strength of the Grand Wizard Raymond and Duke Britain to assist him. It allows for the presence of two people to maintain proper balance.

“The powerful authority of the Orient Kingdom has nothing to do with the intimate alliance with the Duke of Britain. This is where we dig in. ”

Louis explained.

“The Oriental Royal and the Duke of Britain. Which one of you is stronger? ”

Everyone could not answer that question easily.

“Hmm, I don't know. What do you think, diplomatic bookkeeper? ”

King Erik tilts his head and looks at the hazel durone bird. He was the brightest person in the Orient Kingdom because of his diplomatic status.

“It is natural that you will not be able to answer easily. Simply put, of course, the power of the Orient Kingdom is superior, but in fact, the Orient Kingdom and the Duke of Britain are inseparable from each other. ”

Bird of Hazel Duron said.

“The absolute kingdom of Orion is built on the loyalty of the Duke of Britain who moved it like an aquarium, and the Duke of Britain is also under the absolute trust of the royal family, so he can be promoted to the highest noble family. Knowing that such close cooperation benefits each other, it has also recently come to pass that we are planning to marry Princess Serence to Sir Samnam Rael of Duke Britain. ”

“Oh, Princess Serence and Bird of Raell Britain? ”

“Yes, it means building a deeper trust relationship. In fact, Princess Serence does not like outsiders, and since she recently became acquainted with animosity, public figures are rarely seen, so there is little political influence. It's the perfect place to get closer to trust, but not give too much power. ”

Hahaha.

I remembered what I taught Princess Serence about spirituality. The spirit of the wind that contracted her was a strange bird that was whispering in Princess Serence's mind at will, wasn't it?

Ever since I became a spirit, I seem to have lost my ability to go out with that funny bird.

But I was surprised.

In her former life, Princess Serence married an unknown nobleman. Perhaps the intention of the Orient King to not make an appearance too powerful was reflected.

And now you're marrying the Duke of Britain, a noble family of nobles?

“It's not a public story yet, but when I visited the Orient Kingdom, it was almost a public secret. Lord Raell will be named Booma as the concept of a prize when he returns from this war. ”

What's the difference between your past life and your present life?

In retrospect, I thought it was a change in the size of the painting the Orient King drew.

It was a time when Emperor Kars ate up half the continent in his past life. The overwhelmed Orient King had no choice but to concentrate on internal closure rather than external expansion.

But what about now?

The Horn Empire and our war are on the hunt for fishermen. This opportunity has sparked an ambition to take control of the continent.

To paint such a grand painting, the collaboration of the Duke of Britain was essential, so he gave Princess Serence the choice to enhance her trust relationship.

Louie's ruse was the key to stopping this.

Shaking the Orient King slightly to miss the timing. Just as King Erik intervened too late in the Civil War and failed to achieve his goal.

I told you.

The Orient King is not a very good timer.

“You used to try to use Princess Serence to take the trophy, but you change your mind from time to time. ”

I smiled bitterly at King Erik's words.

That was a close call.

I almost became the royal Daryl son-in-law of the Orion. Marrying Raell Briton, I won't mention my name in her marriage.

Louie said.

“Just as the diplomatic director said. When the trust of the Orient Kingdom and the Duke of Britain is restored, the Kingdom of Orion will be able to actively go on foot. Duke Britain does not act as a threat to the crown, nor does the Crown of Orion act as a deterrent to Duke Britain. because as soon as they're in the shape of each other, there's a crack in the air conditioning system. ”

“A slight scratch on that would distract the Orient Kingdom from foreign affairs. ”

Jeron, who was listening, got to the point.

I wish I'd ended it there, Jeron said one more thing.

“Your Highness, how would you like to try to seduce Princess Serence again? Now that you've built your mystical reputation as a Grand Spirit, I can ask Princess Serence to be my third wife to speak with Lord Raell. ”

That bastard?!

Seeing Jeron grinning fiercely after mocking me, I felt a trembling fist.

King Erik fires.

“Haha! What do you think of Chancellor? The proposal of a military award.”

“Your Majesty……. I also can't care about external matters if there is an internal problem... ”

Everyone except Louie laughed at the coroner.

If such talk comes, I will not be able to work properly because I suffer from two angry wives.

“It's much simpler than that. ”

Louie said that the atmosphere became serious again.

“I will lead the army and treat all of Raell Britain like royalty. ”

“Do you mean to greet the Orient King as if he were here himself? ”

King Erik asks. Louie nods.

“Yes, Your Excellency, you will go and help the soldiers arrive safely, and His Majesty will personally go out and greet them. We will hold a welcoming banquet to seat Baron Raell Briton in the company of His Majesty the King. Discuss important issues between the two countries as if they were a meeting between kings. And that story, of course, goes into the ears of the Orient King. ”

“I see! If Duc Britain's three sons are treated like representatives of the Orient Kingdom, King Orion will be alerted to the Duke of Britain. What a brilliant plan! ”

King Erik is applauded and flattered.

Louie's remarks followed.

“Of course, the effects won't last long. With his long-standing trust, Duke Britain will soon be able to unravel the misunderstanding of the Orient King. However, if the marriage between Princess Serence and Sir Raell, which was scheduled to take place immediately after the war, this scheme could be considered successful. ”

When a tale that was already a public secret breaks, it becomes a clear sign that the relationship between the Orient Royal and the Duke of Britain has begun to fall apart.

Even if it ends with a small matter, it means that it looks that way from the outside view.

When that happens, the king of Orion will have to pay more attention to the matter with the Duke of Britain than he has to control the continent. It is because the Duke of Britain is the scariest of enemies to the Orient King who is obsessed with the throne.

“After solving misunderstandings and restoring relationships, the war will be over and we'll be done with our post-war repairs. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

King Erik grins.

“Fine. I'll treat Raell Briton like a very important guest. You can do as much as you want. ”
