Reincarnation Monarch
Episode 251: Hostages
"Hmm. I'm sure of it."
Agult XIII affirmed.
Gaius nodded and said.
“All right, but if Zaban is the invading loot, why is there a King Belk in Zaban?”
"Xavan and Rogue have long-standing friendships. Therefore, Rogue had no interest in the West until now. But this time, if King Berk persuaded Xavan to advance an invasion against Rogue, I think he would come aboard."
"I guess. Belk is quite a big power around here, isn't he?" If King Belk offered to take over the territory, then Rogue would come and talk to me. "
"Hmm. I think so too. But there it is. It's how King Berk convinced Zavan."
Agult XIII asked Gaius to question him.
Gaius grabbed his eyebrows and thought.
"Zavan and Rogue have old friendships, right?" In that case, wouldn't you provide the invading route? "
Then Benedict XIII shook his head to the side.
“No. No matter how old friendships may be, they are afraid to watch their own territory pass by the armies of other countries.”
Then Gaius was convinced.
"Well... I'm sure it'll pass, but if you suddenly turn around and attack me, you won't have a chance."
"Hmm. That's right. So as a Zavan, I would like to have something that would be quite reassuring.”
Then Gaius hit his hand with the bread.
"Is that what King Berk's in custody for?"
"That's right. King Berk himself, the mastermind of the Allied forces." And Rogue's worthy. Perhaps one of the royalty is in Zaban as a hostage. "
"I see. Although he is the mastermind, King Berk is the man of Berk." Then it doesn't make much sense to have only King Berk himself. "
“That's right. With the Rogue royalty and the real Belk king in Zaban, it's very unlikely that Zaban was plotted. We can safely watch the Rogue army pass through our own country."
"I see... but come on"
That's where Gaius came up with a new question.
"Rogue and Belk don't border, do they? What about territorial concessions?"
"Either as an enclave or exchange territory with Zavan." Perhaps the latter. "
When Agult XIII said so, he gulped down his eyebrows.
