The talks take place inside enemy fortifications.

Does the enemy want to mitigate the risk of this assassination by pre-collecting the weapons of those conducting direct talks?

I don't use it either, but I'm equipped with a sword once, so they take it.

The fact that there is not a single person around who is armed with boulders, because this one is also delicate, has said that anything that talks over there will be disarmed and that no armed person will be placed around.

The escort from the clan was also to be disarmed, but, well, the strong ones are strong even if they don't have swords, so this time they were to accept.

The place where the talks take place is not in the fort.

Do it in the garden in front of the entrance to the fort, ahead of the gate.

It was also easy to understand that there were no unarmed people in the vicinity.

There was a round table in the garden, where one middle-aged man sat.

The man, when we came, stood up from the chair,

"Well done. Long time no see, Lord Bolance."

"Long time no see, Lord Lupa."

Is that the enemy general's lupa?

By the way, Bolance is a nobleman I know of Lupa who accompanies me.

They've fought together a long time ago.

I know him, but he doesn't seem like a friendship.

Anyone other than Bolance was to be accompanied by Bolance because the connection was thinner than that.

"So behind you, Lord Robinson and Lord Ars?

"Yes, it is"

I don't care how you look at it. You still look at me as a child for a purpose, and you seem to wonder.

It would also be natural to think so if you knew that this meeting was an important one.

However, Lupa did not mention it and told us to take a seat.

Get to your seat, and I'll try to test Lupa's abilities.

Lupa Rooseton, 32. ”

You're a pretty good man.

And quite ambitious.

The reason for this meeting may also be due to the high level of ambition.

With all this ability and ambition, it may not be a strange story to be dissatisfied with the status quo.

Now, how to use the appraisal to negotiate, but you might be able to predict the character of the other person with the numbers that came out of the appraisal.

I don't know how accurate it is, but if it's an appraisal, I can also see the human ambition to use Pre-Construction successfully, so I think it works.

So, as far as this ability is concerned, martial arts are low, but others are excellent.

Looks like he's not the type to fight on the front lines or anything. And ambitious.

He's a thoughtful man, but the kind who seems to also think about black things in his belly?

The type that says so is likely to come on board if it presents proper benefits.

I'm pretty sure the enemy side is at a disadvantage at the moment.

Clan's story said he could give the county superintendent status as a condition for an abbreviation.

After defeating Basamark, several counties will be empty, so they say they can sit there. There will be some dissatisfaction from the allies, but Clan said that's not something to worry about right now.

If we were negotiating normally, it would likely come on board...... what would happen.

At first, Bolance enters into a conversation like a social dictionary.

I could tell from the way the conversation was going that we didn't seem to be that close.

Look at the fold and start telling us why Robinson came to the meeting.

In response to Robinson, who asks if we can stick to this side,

"I pledge my allegiance to Lady Bassamark and Lady Cances. I'm sorry, but that's an impossible consultation."

and Lupa replied.

I don't know if I really can't or if I said no once because eating in seconds would be seen as unreliable.

After that, Robinson said he would promise the county superintendent status, but he still wouldn't shake his head vertically.

Are you dissatisfied with anything?

I'm pretty sure he wants to come out because he's ambitious...

If you won't betray me for sure in the first place, I won't be talking to you.

Am I lost in person too?

You simply doubt the story will be fulfilled? If you are thoughtful, you may naturally imagine that suddenly taking up what was hostile may have caused the dissatisfaction of the minister and may eventually decide that it was not.

How can I be trusted?

Should I also make a blood certificate?

The clan said that if it was to succeed in adjusting, most of it would come out. You won't have enough problems to offer a little of your own blood.

If you still can't, you have no choice but to persuade them with reason.

Looks like Robinson and Bolance aren't sure how to convince you.

Do I have to do this here?

"Are you really suspicious that you can be a county superintendent?

"... No, that's not it. I'm simply saying I'm not willing to betray you."

There was a little time between responses.

Perhaps Lupa is also wondering what to do.

"Dear Clan and Lupa, if you exchange blood letters, you will always keep your promises. That's what I would like to say to Mr. Klan. Probably won't say no."

"... I am"

"The Klan also said that it would be a shame if the Lord of this fort were to fit as well as Lupa."

……

My heart seems to be shaking a little.

"Betrayal discredits me. Falling fame means not being able to gather people's minds. So I just became a county governor, and I don't know if it makes sense..."

Lupa spoke of stray.

I see. Were you afraid that betrayal would discredit you?

"I don't think betrayal here will discredit Master Lupa. This fort is currently being hunted down by our army. Fighting with this difference in power clearly doesn't win. It is not Lord Lupa's fault that we have been pushed so far, it is nothing more than Kancess's fault, Basamark, for the wrong strategy. It would be a muscle to send reinforcements to this fort and protect them, but is Kanceth, the Beltzd County Chief, willing to send reinforcements to fulfill them? My prediction is that an order is coming to buy us some time. Buying time is an order to be a throwaway stone. I can't watch you throw away stones as much as Master Lupa. We hope you will make a wise decision."

My tongue turned surprisingly myself.

Maybe I started discussing it with various people after I was born as a nobleman, and I got a little better at talking.

Lupa told me to give him two days to respond, and that's where the talks ended.

I didn't feel bad for now.
