Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

……

I silently let my gaze swim across the universe. I know. You mustn't behave like this in front of an emissary. I'm sure Rico will scold me later. Don't take your eyes off the messenger.

However, as far as I had to take that attitude, a request from a man named Heather was flying. I'm sure Rico will understand my feelings.

The request from Heather was divided into two points. The first was the conclusion of a military alliance between Agarta and the Saufand Empire.

“Despite the convergence of Grey Sahara, tensions continue with our neighbor, the Kingdom of Nono, and thus the Elsmo Empire. Perhaps the Kingdom of Noon has not abandoned its ambition to expand its territory to our country. For this reason, our Empire will need to further strengthen its military capabilities. Therefore, we would like to strengthen our relationship with the Heida Empire, which has been our alliance until now, and also conclude a military alliance with your country."

... honestly, this alliance has no benefit for us, Agarta. Agarta is not at any risk of invading from another country, so it is safe to say that he has never requested reinforcements from the Sauerkraut Empire. In return, the Empire offered me food and technical assistance, but I didn't need it either. There is plenty to be gained in terms of food, and we are selling whatever we have left over to other countries. In addition, technical support is a civil engineering project that focuses on flood control, and Sidi's family, the Duchy of Niza, had the technology. If necessary, rather than asking for a country far away, I would ask for a neighbor with relatives, and that would be the point.

Of course, it seems that the other side is aware of the situation, and while Heather explains it, it is not very beneficial to your country, but it was the end of the story.

If you knew that, the royalty wouldn't have come to ask for it. Quite frankly, it's a waste of time. When he asked me to do it, and wondered if he was going to go home to see Agarta... he continued to say more words.

"To forge that alliance, we are prepared to let King Agarta have his sister, Frill."

"... eh? Begging?"

"Left side."

"... to whom?"

"Just kidding. Thank you to King Agarta."

……

Unexpectedly, I was exhausted. What the hell are you talking about, this guy? I turned my gaze to Rico, who was sitting next to her, but she was also hardened. It was a proposal that Rico hadn't even anticipated.

Heather continued to speak to us in a daze. My sister, Frill, is eleven years old. Although a child of the emperor's side room, he must be an elegant daughter. The Emperor was so cute that even if he saw this sister, it would not hurt, but if the alliance with Agarta were to sound, he said that he would swallow the tears and let her in...... I continued to talk about it even if it didn't matter.

I probably have five wives. I don't think I'd want to add another one to that. And he's an eleven-year-old. Anything looks cute. He might want to tell us to be like Light, but unfortunately I don't have that kind of hobby. From the point of view of Seafund, it would be possible to send Frill to Agarta as a hostage, but it was clear that even if you received the child, it would not be profitable for Agarta, but rather it would be harmful and unprofitable.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm not really interested.

I accidentally said such a word. Originally, I would say that I would consider it and have it picked up for a while. Later, I would add various reasons and give a reply of no, but at this time, I just couldn't afford it.

But Heather wasn't frightened. I continued to say more words with a smile on my face.

“We paid for the Grey Sahara. In other words, he scattered hundreds of dragons. Originally, if Gray Sahara were to occur, half of our national territory would be devastated by ashes. In Agarta's case, two-thirds of the country suffers enough to be scorched. We kept the damage to the area around Castle Casa alone. That said, we are the strongest in the world... and still possess some of the greatest military power in the world. I said I'd help you with that. This is bound to be a great force when Agarta is invaded by another country or when it is invaded."

"I'm sorry, but Agarta's defenses are adequate, and I'm not willing to invade another country." in the first place.... "

That's what I said. It's not you who saved Gray Sahara, it's me. They didn't know I was Kenshin, and they didn't even know what I was talking about. That being said, I didn't like the attitude of the Grey Sahara, who managed to pitch it to Agarta without much damage, and the man standing behind Heather, who was a rare commander and was able to defend Castle Casa, when he said that he would lead an army out of the water in the fight against Agarta, his mouth was not open.

Castle Casa was defended only because of that Holm. Holm was the man who had the most military service in that battle. If Holm himself delegates full powers in this negotiation, we can still understand the conversation. Well, I don't know about that, but at least I'm not as uncomfortable as I am now. Because with him we can talk about the memories of that battle.

...... and noticed that the five men who were holding back away from Heather raised their faces and looked at us. And among them was Holm. I accidentally stared at him.

Noticing this, Heather looked back and immediately smiled at me.

"My folks are sorry." This... seems to have fallen in love with the beauty of the princess. Come on, you guys, stop it. "

In response to Heather's words, five men hung their heads below Holm.

"Um... can I talk to them?"

"... yes, no problem?"

Heather had a giggling expression on her face. When I got up from the throne, I went straight to Holm. He keeps his head down. When I came up to him, I knelt down and peered into his face.

"What's your name?"

"...... Tsuru. I'm afraid of this!"

He slipped back. I try to chase him like that, and I shrink again.

"...... Tsu"

“What would you say your name is?”

"...... My name is Holm."

"Oh, Mr. Holm." You're the Holm who was protecting Casa Castle, right? "

Holm raised his face in surprise. I stared at my face, but when I thought about it, I lowered my face in a hurry.

"Oh, it's just far enough away from your ambassadors." Holm-san, what Heather-san is saying, is that true? "

Huh?

"Is what he's saying true?"

"No, no... that's... oh, your Highness's cousin is a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin and a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's a cousin who's

...... I unexpectedly laughed out loud.
