"Le Maire told me that you have the power to discern people's talents. With all that power, he seemed to have spotted the talent of the Marka and the girl who was a slave. With that power, I can only ask you to let me try to see if you really have that power."

My request for an appraisal doesn't seem to make me do anything weird. Then I don't know why I bothered to go outside and talk to you.

"Ok...... what should I do?

"Right. I'd like to hear a little more about your powers first. Let's change the way we try."

I explained the appraisal.

"Can political ability and aptitude be measured in leadership, martial arts, and intelligence... I see, more than you can imagine. The way to try it is simple. You just need to appraise me and Robinson's abilities and tell them that. I'm going to know more about Robinson than anyone, and I'm naturally familiar with myself, though. You can trust me if I'm hitting it for two. If there's anything wrong, don't hesitate to be honest."

Certainly a simple way. Then you'll be able to do it without a problem.

Since it would be difficult to tell the specific figures that came out at the time of the appraisal, the results of the appraisal were communicated by saying it was good, normal, etc.

"... I see... you do seem to have the power to see people's abilities"

The clan seems to have convinced me.

Let's get down to business.

"Yes, sir"

"Don't get up like that. You're anxious because you're paying people to talk. I'm not trying to embarrass you, so don't worry."

Anxiety got me into attitude.

"Have you looked at the abilities of the nobles who were coming to the party today?

If I thought I would do you a favor, I would not expect it because you asked me a question.

"Yeah, once."

I can't read the intent of the question, but I answered honestly.

"What did you think?

"How about... right. I thought there were a lot of good people."

"Did you really think so? Didn't you ever feel like you were missing something?

"Is it not enough?

It would be a lie if I said I didn't feel it at all.

It is true that he was brilliant, but there was no one but the clan who jumped through. I thought there might be more jumping through and amazing people, so it is true that I clapped out. On second thought, it's not surprising that most of the nobles didn't build up their positions in the hegemony, so it's not so easy to jump through and get out, such as the awesome.

I honestly replied that I felt only a little.

"It will be. To those who do follow us, incompetence is few. Yet again few excel. Not only to the county governors, but also to the ministers attached to them, there are few well-known. My immediate minister is no one but Robinson."

It's not as precise as my appraisal for the clan, but I guess I can identify people's abilities to some extent.

It also turned out to be the reason why I bothered to pay people. If you call the nobles not enough, you'll buy the objection.

"Especially the lack of a presence to be a military teacher is the biggest problem. I myself am not out of the realm of ordinary people in my brain, and Robinson is brainy, but I have little experience working as a military teacher. On the Basamark side, on the other hand, there is General Leamas, who has supported Meesian for a long time near his father's side, plus Basamark himself can lose his head. I've never won in my studies in a long time. Thomas, Basamark's right arm, also has an extraordinary brain. Besides, that woman... no, she was definitely banished. Anyway, compared to our side, there are wise men on the Basamark side. On the Basamark side and with us, they are almost mutually reinforcing in their warfare. If you have talent, you will win, if you don't have talent, you will lose."

"I mean, if you lose as you are, are you thinking?

Clan nodded.

"So do me a favor, but you've been ministering many things competent in that ability. Would you recommend to me who should be a military teacher?

"Is that an election? That's a little..."

Election means recommending my minister to be a subordinate of the clan. I can't do that.

"Well, I know you don't want to be taken competent talent. Let's do this, then. Next time, you'll join the military."

"Military council...?

"Oh, I'm gathering the powerful nobles, I'm having a military debate, and I hope you bring in the talent to be a military teacher and join me."

"Um, is it okay for immatures like me to join you in such a place?

"I guess I'll buy the objection. But I'll tell you somehow there. It will be up to that draft to take part in the military conference and adopt it. If you give me a good idea, I'm sure you'll all agree. No one is good enough to fly, but incompetence is also low. I have the ability to decide whether it's a good idea or a bad idea."

"I have another feeling, maybe the Markas will join us, but is it possible that they will say something special with that?

Assuming you drink this story, it will be Leeds and Roselle who will take you.

But Reetz, who is a Marka, is a subject of discrimination. Will you do it and listen to your opinion?

"I see. Is one of those who should be a military teacher a Marka? Certainly there will be something to look at with a discriminatory eye, but as I said earlier, what you said is important. If you come up with a definite proposal, there's nothing to complain about, and even if you were there, you'd be a minority. Then I can shut you up."

"Really?"

But do you want me to join the military conference?

Is it okay that you have to rely on a child like me?

I'm really sorry about losing.

To the extent that I have helped, I doubt I can win.

Indeed, both Leeds and Roselle, their tactics are high.

There's just nothing wrong with Leeds, but there's something wrong with Roselle.

He is only a child. Moreover, the growth of knowledge has recently stopped and has only grown one for several years. It is now 90.

I study every day, and I look smarter every day, but I still don't go up. Perhaps the status of knowledge is a number of how useful maneuvers can be considered in battle.

Roselle doesn't have enough practical experience overwhelmingly, so I guess she's stretched out.

For this reason, suddenly it is very problematic to use it.

When Leeds is alone, I don't know if I can fulfill it and win.

Three names were mentioned earlier as wise men. Reetz is not an intellectual specialization, he is an all-rounder. That's just about as likely a bad minute.

I don't want to come with those who can't win, but whether it's possible to betray them.

Can we do something about it if we persuade the Canale County Chief? At least as things stand, is it hard for me to get on Bassamark's side alone? Should I contact the heavy minister on the Basamark side by any means to get inside? But still, I find it difficult for an unnamed nobleman like me to get inside with his enemies.

"Ars, I know you have a lot to think about when you hear this story."

And Clan said so as he saw me through.

Do you know that I tried to betray you?

"At times like this, we have to give them a consideration. Assuming your army teacher is active and wins over Basamark, I'll make you the County Chief of Canale."

"Huh?"

I'm surprised by that statement. I'm the canale county sheriff?

"Is that possible? Such a thing. What happens to Master Le Maire?

"He makes it a county mayor of a larger county. For reasons such as proximity to the state border, Canale is not so much the preferred territory. Since the Pyles have been canale county governors for about five generations, you won't be able to complain when you get a better territory, though you'll have some attachments."

If it works, County Manager......

So you can be the lord of the castle...

To be honest, Randolph is not a bad land, but there are limits to it. As it is now, it is impossible to get out of a weak lord who will be lightly destroyed by the presence of the person above.

Being a canale county governor is a very big thing.

Surely there is a risk of losing in battle.

However, insiding on the Bassamark side is also risky behavior.

All right, I've made up my mind.

"Okay. I'll take that story."
