Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Five: A Troublesome Job After the Battle
Since the day after I suppressed Brian's invasion, I've been very busy. Because all the lords who ruled within the kingdom of Juka came to the king's capital. Some tried to get into me with a discerning old lady, and some tried to pass their opinions high pressure.
There were about 30 assembled lords. The kingdom of Juka does remember that there were more than 100 aristocrats, but they would have been eliminated to about 1/3 after the civil unrest. I ordered the assembled lords to pull the soldiers while retaining the border line as it stood for now, and Shafa told them to follow suit.
We will summarize the requests we have heard from them and see if that is true. Basically, my "appraisal" skills tell me most of the lies and deception, but I need physical evidence. For this reason, I was asked to use the Fairy Dragons to ascertain what each lord had to say.
When I looked it up, there was a clear difference between a house that was lying and a house that wasn't.
Give me a new territory, it was my own, but the majority of the lords demanding extrajudicial food support were former aristocrats. Good thing I was a slave, he was totally bullshitting me. On the other hand, some lords sincerely wished for the stability of the country and the safety of its inhabitants. These guys were mostly ex-civilians and other people who had wiped the asses of the escaped aristocrats.
How far I accept their demands was a bit of a headache. Exactly, when I saw him with as many as eight former nobles on the first day, just as I shriveled, Rico comforted me at night. Not only that, but Rico taught me with a constant breath that nobility was vulnerable to intimidation of power moves. As always, he is a wonderful wife.
And three days to attract the Lords. Ready to give each treatment to the assembled lords.
As Rico advised, every day the Lords who came to the King's Capital boasted of our power by showing Lafayens mock warfare, horseback riding, etc. And finally, let the crowd of Curse Charolets crusade in front of the Lords. They are super first-class military men chosen, who easily stopped the assault of 30 giant cows and let them crusade lightly. When I served that for dinner, the nobles' appetite had become considerably less.
And finally, on the same day, the prepared venue was lined with 10 SS men, no more than 300 soldiers under Knogen, dressed in armor taken from Ramaron, and no less than the dressed Lafayence. And at the center of it was Rico, beautifully dressed with all his might, and me, more stylish on her arm.
Rico was beautiful enough to wake up. It was a costume that suppressed flashfulness so as not to disturb me, but its overflowing elegance and intelligence sharpened the ambient air and fully demonstrated the glory of the Headata Empire.
"This is the first time I've had any thanks from you. It is Headata sur Ricolette. I would like to thank you more than I do for gathering under my husband, Birtham Darke Linos. This Juka is the land where my beloved husband was raised raw and to his heart's content. I was heartbroken to hear that was ravaged by the Great Demon King, too. This time, my husband will go to his home country and help you rebuild it. Is there any more joy? I will spare no effort to cooperate, so please help me to the fullest."
He seemed to be snubbing down, and he said at the end of his words, "I won't forgive you if you defy the Atashi and the others, Cora? It seeps through the atmosphere." Rico bowed his head to me for the last time.
"Please, do not fully wield the extraction. I will risk my life to obey your life, Ricolette."
Immediately after that word, the soldiers in line salute me most. This silenced the majority of the nobles.
Plus, I had Ramaron's captives, Railik and Brian, present on the spot. They've both been made full chin. They're tied up and rendered immobile. Exactly. This figure of Brian seemed shocked to Juka's person, and this completely broke the hearts of the Lords.
After that it was really smooth. My appraisal and fairy dragon evidence gave food to anyone who was judged to be Ciro. And those found to be cro offered to give 2/3 of the mercenaries to the Wang Metropolitan Guard. On top of that, for the two overly barbaric lords, they decided to restrain their figure in the king's capital, confiscate their territory and entrust their management to the lords of Shiloh, who were excellent in governing.
"Oh, boy, you're tired"
It's already time for the sun to lean, but I was in the break room at Royal Army headquarters with Rico, Lafayence and the Knogens, drinking sweet tea.
I'll take care of them.
Kunogen tensions his chest.
"I'm sorry. Don't burden yourself."
"If you're a kunogen, you're still not at work, are you?
Lafayence laughs niggardly. Kunogen is laughing bitterly too.
"Well, Lord Linos"
The old general becomes a serious face.
"It's time to move on to the border."
"What does that mean?
"The southern territories remain ravaged by Ramaron. There too, Lord Linos should go and support food, etc. The people recognize those who feed themselves as lords. We can help too."
"But even if the general stays here too long, doesn't that affect the morale of the Northern Army?
"Hey, I'm going home to my mansion and resting in the evening. There's a problem."
The old general said without warning. In the meantime, starting tomorrow, I'm going to be touring the South with Lafayence.
The old general used the metastatic junction to return to the empire first, and me and Rico tried to accompany the Ferris back home. Then there, a magician woman sneaking up on me, who was captive with Matocal.
"Um... I'm afraid. Well... Master Matokal's... it's about to start."
I didn't know what it was about for a moment, but Rico instantly understood what it meant and started talking to Kosokoso somehow. And when I return the woman to her room,
"Linos, Matocal is coming now. I'll take her back, too."
"Yeah? Why?
"Yeah, I just wanted to give it a try"
Rico, who laughs at the couscous, also helped the beauty of the costume to look many times more beautiful than usual.
"Beautiful, Rico"
Rico reaches for my arm as he turns his face bright red. Rico, dyed red on his cheeks, looked cuter than usual.
"Ugh... ohon"
Return to me with that voice. When I saw it, Matocal was coming.
"Well, let's go..."
We joined the Ferris and moved to the mansion.
Early on his return, Rico accompanied Ferris and Matocal to his room. The dining room was being lined up with dishes that looked delicious made by Pallis. Everyone was already back and in their seats. We sit in a chair too, and naturally today's report begins. May says things are going well with Norm in itself. And the spirits in the woods made a place for the Fairy Dragons to live. They say it's near the settlement of Silius, but it's a place where beautiful water and beautiful flowers bloom. I decided to leave the matter to May.
In addition, he said, he is likely to be able to raise golden birds. Tense when you think you can always eat that juicy, rich meat from now on.
Talking about that, Rico came down to the dining room. From behind, Matocal comes in making sure Ferris pushes him on the back.
What a matocal, wearing Rico's costume, makeup and beautifully decorated.
Though he is a concubine, he is the daughter of an emperor. Decorated with elegance, it's a beauty that works well enough when you say the princess of a great power. Above all, there is affection for the slightly suspended eye, and this is an atmosphere that is likely to become popular with men.
"A little bit more, I guess it would be more beautiful if your hair were stretched, but, well, like this, you have about 70 points."
Rico says without permission. I have a score of 100.
"I still think women should dress beautifully. More importantly, it's beautiful, so I thought polishing it would make Matokal happier, so I tried it once."
"That's my sister Rico. I just picked out some of your sister's clothes and put on some makeup to make her so beautiful... so I'm surprised too."
"I'll give Matocal what he needs later, so take it and go home. Well, because of that, have dinner with me and come home."
"Now... in this outfit?
Matocal turns bright red in his face and is embarrassed and mozzled.
"Ah... my legs are cold. Do the women always put up with that... cold and embarrassing?
Rico looked at Matocal wonderfully with his neck tied, but eventually raised his voice as he remembered.
"Well, what I did. I forgot all about you!
"What's up, Rico?
"I forgot to make Matocal wear underwear."
