Episode 429: Lennon's Thoughts

"... that's Lennon's ambition..."

Gaius shrugged so faintly, staring at a point and pushing silently for a while.

And after a while he finally slightly raised his face and asked Carmis to whisper.

"... isn't Lennon a socialist? ……

Then Carmis pinched his neck at the unfamiliar words.

"What kind of a socialist do you mean? I've never heard of it..."

"Oh well... well, in brief, the doctrine is that we distribute the wealth that the country can have equally to its citizens and operate the state by carrying out economic activities as the state has managed and guided... can you see with this explanation?

"... that by the Pope... you mean?

"No, it's not limited to low englin otherwise. However, a strong political system that allows for the redistribution of wealth will be a must, so I think that a Roenglin political system, culminating in the Pope in the name of Zexism, would be a more likely idea than in other countries"

"... I see the Millennium Kingdom is also an equal nation under God, so it... is it a socialist? … it's a similar idea… there is a difference between God and man… No, maybe that's Lennon's true purpose…"

Calmis lay her eyes down when she said so and thought deeply.

Then Gaius looked up all the time instead.

"Either way, it doesn't seem any different to be the owner of a great deal of ambition. But let's put it down for a second and get the conversation back to Esta. At that time, General Gorkos led the Seventh Regiment in Esta's garrison... this is no longer a coincidence, right?

"I don't know. I am unaware of that. But as if the army led by Gorkos, the son of the current pope, had anticipated more so when he went to Esta... It's only natural for you to think about it."

"You really don't know, do you?

Gaius narrowed his eyes, staring at Carmis and pressing his precautions.

Then Calmis even tried to clear Gaius's suspicions by waving troublesome.

"It's true. I don't care how you believe me, do I?

"How could you throw up a line like that? You were willing to lie until just now."

"... Fair enough. Is there anything more you can ask me than that?

"Oh. The damage to Raydam in the Battle of Esta must have been uninterrupted and immense. Regardless, even though Lowenglin was also devastated by the Seventh Regiment, Raydam should have had the Three Regiments almost devastated. Raydam's national, military power is inferior to Lowenglin's in the first place, so the demise of the Troika was a crisis of national survival for Raydam, and should have been a chance to control Raydam once and for all if you tried to make it Lowenglin. In spite of this, he's actually been arbitrated by a coalition of seven surrounding countries, including Valentin, and has immediately agreed to a ceasefire to pull soldiers... why?

"... it's Dallas..."

Gaius reacted reflexively aloud to Carmis' words.

"What!! Dallos!?"

"... don't surprise me... all of a sudden you shout..."

"... Oh, I'm sorry... but I've never heard of the Daros moving during the Battle of Esta, have I?

"That would be right. The Dallas aren't moving."

"The army is not moving... then what moved?

Then Calmis smiled and put it on a little bit before finally opening his mouth.

"The envoy is here. In secret... na"
