Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Lesson 746 The Duke of Vaillas, Again

So, Your Highness, what do you intend to do with the emissaries of the Sephardic Empire?

Prime Minister Touré spoke up unexpectedly. Nomasa opened her mouth as if to speak, casting a sharp gaze at him.

"We're asking the Seafund to enter into a military alliance with our country."

Military alliance!?

Once again, Prime Minister Touré and Kabon spoke out at the same time. That's true. It was the enemy I had been fighting until now. Nomasa's life is at stake because of the Seafund. Besides, the king's younger brother, the kingdom of Noono, has long been in skirmishes with the Empire. I didn't think it would be sane for Elsmo to enter into a military alliance with a country that should be both an enemy and a nono.

“I'll explain later. First, set up a messenger."

"Shh, but, Your Highness..."

“I'm sure you're right about that.”

Suddenly I heard a man's voice. Toure and Kabon turned to look at him with a startled expression on their faces. There stood an incredibly tall man in a blue bolero. He slowly approached, stroking his well-formed moustache. Prime Minister Nono knew this man.

"Ah... you..."

"Fufufu. It's been a long time, Prime Minister." I was not surprised by the order of His Highness Nomasa. I'll tell you why. ”

In the words of the man, Turet and Kabon looked at each other...

◆◆◆

A month later, the cold of winter was about to visit Agarta. It will snow in a while. Everyone in the city was preparing for winter.

It was done in the same way in the Imperial Mansion where Linos lived. Basically, the temperature is kept constant by the barrier stretched in the mansion. However, he loved the transition between spring, summer, autumn and winter, enjoying the feeling of the seasons, and preferred to live like summer in summer and like winter in winter. Therefore, at these times, he decided to go out to the garden and cut firewood every time he took a holiday. Then, when the winter became severe, they were thrown into the fireplace and started a fire, where they preferred to bake and eat bread.

This day he was still out in the garden, pruning his firewood. The children gather the broken firewood and take it to the shed. They also loved the winter fireplace, and Arya and the others were already begging Linos to start a fire.

In the midst of this, a man visited the Imperial Mansion. The Duke of Vailas.

Whenever he visited here, he came alone. Originally, he could come gracefully in a carriage, but he always came alone, thinking that it would be inconvenient for others to know the existence of this Imperial City Mansion. Within the Heidata Empire, Linus was basically said to reside in Agarta, and the mansion was considered to be Linus' separate residence in Heidata.

Ostensibly the guardian of Linus, he came here in the name of managing the mansion. Naturally, it was a visit at the behest of the emperor, but the nobles in the empire had no doubt that the duke, who had floated an infinite number of times, was hiding behind his wife and visiting the mansion with pleasure. Therefore, only a few people in the Empire knew that the Linos lived in this mansion.

Vailus greeted the children enthusiastically and came straight to Linus. With a light greeting, he approached and said in a small voice, "I have something to ask you," and looked into Linus's eyes. These things remained the same, and most of them were nothing but locusts. Linus invited Vaillas into the Mansion with the expression, "I'm sorry."

Knowing that he was coming, Rico quickly entered the dining room. Vaillas sat in the chair with a smile on her face.

Even if the Emperor's fate was close, Vailas would always sit in the dining room chair and tell Linus and Rico about it. For a moment, there was a reception room in the mansion, but he did not use the room stubbornly, and he told the emperor's request in this dining room that always touched the eyes of the Linus family. I don't know whether this is a consideration that will not cause extra anxiety to his family by entering the secret room with Linos and Rico, or whether he was reluctant to spend a small number of days with Rico, his sister and natural enemy. I don't know the details now.

Seeing Linus and Rico take their seats, Vailas lowered his voice slightly and slowly opened his mouth.

"Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd like you to come to Miyagi tomorrow."

Linus gave a strange expression. It was common to be summoned to Miyagi, but it was unusual for Linos to be the only one, accompanied by Rico.

"Is Rico with you?" That's... oh, I see. "

Linus nodded as he framed his arms.

"You're talking about Eryl, right? No, it's too early to get married. And, uh, what was that about? A school attended by the nobility of Heidata... yes, Isaemon. I would like to let Isaemon go sometime, but right now, it can't be that...."

"No, brother-in-law, that's not true."

Huh, what do you mean?

If you tell me properly, I might ask for reinforcements.

"Reinforcements? Again? Where are you going this time?"

"Vailas"

Rico opened his mouth, turning to Linus with a dazed face. Vaillas made his home right.

"It's true that Agarta and Headata are bound together." But we're not getting too many reinforcements these days, are we? Isn't Linos just arrived in the Sephardic Empire during this time..... "

"That's right, that's right, sister. But this time things are a little different.”

"Something's wrong? What do you mean?"

And then... two days later, Real came to Miyagi.

"...... Real"

Rico's expression instantly grew stronger. Linus's eyes were black and white because he couldn't swallow the story.

"Oh, you're not familiar with your brother-in-law, are you?" Real will be my sister. "

Sister?

“Yes, I'm the same age as myself, but I was born first, so I'm just my brother.”

"The same age... means..."

"Yes, the mother of Real is the empress of the Emperor... that is, the one who will be hit by your mother."

Oh, I see.

That Real is coming to Miyagi in secret tomorrow from her dowry.

"Vailas. Could it be that you're asking for reinforcements..."

As you can imagine, the Kingdom of Mitos, the dowry of Real, is under attack.

"The Kingdom of Mitos? That great power can be attacked..." What kind of country is that...? "

“Yes, anything - Sefund, Noono, Elsmo, and the Carutlen Empire - are joining forces against the Kingdom of Mitos.”

“Sephard, Nono, and Elsmo are some of the countries we've been fighting for! I can't even imagine that country working together to attack Mitos!"

"Please calm down, sister." It's hard for me to believe, too, but that's exactly what it says in the letter from Real that I sent to your Majesty. And it says here, "Your Majesty, your sister, and I want your help."

Vailas said that and took a letter out of his pocket. When Rico took it in his hand, he stared at it and did not make a slight motion. It seemed like I was reading the letter over and over... "
