Whether or not to refer to it as luxury during the sight of King Siel-Teira Castle would be the point of disagreement.
Between a slightly more common glance, with red carpets laid to the deepest throne and gold decorations on white walls. That was a luxurious enough place to say it from a commoner's perspective, but a heck of a place would be inferior to a lord's castle in another country.
Still, the king on the throne...... Hilberto II thing Hilberto "The Heart of the Lion (Lionheart)" - Nicholas Ciel-Teira looked satisfied and narrowed his eyes to the view from the throne.
Hilberto is in his late thirties. Her hair and beard were redheads close to brown, making it a little swollen and feeling to make her thin face look big. Still, it looks a little long because of the lack of thickness of the body, and I don't have one piercing lock right now. He cares about it, too, and secretly increases his shoulder weight on the crimson cloak.
Your Majesty, the First Knights Commander is here.
"Let it through but good"
The Kingsguard, who came as a first touch, is still a little short. Hilberto smiled at it. The Kingsguard of the former king died fighting for the former king. All the Kingsguards today are the ones who have just been set up.
Gasha Gasha and the ringing footsteps of armor approach and eventually Lawrence shows up.
The full face helmet was taken off and held by the side. The figure, to the poetry of the saru bard, says: 'Even the appearance does not excite the allies. Overhead crowning is passion, and living in your eyes is precious sunshine. No maiden dreams of a knight of glorious Reishi than the moon of the seventh night combined ". Lawrence was a knight who was honored not only for his power, but also for his beauty.
Having done more with his temperament than necessary, he pounds and prostrates himself on one knee seven steps ahead of him, as he did.
"Raise your face."
Lawrence looks up as Hilberto calls out. He was making his eyes shine as if a child would see a march of knights.
It was wonderful and comforting to be respected like this by a thousand brave men.
Huh, Lawrence, who was obedient to the previous king, wonders what face he used to look like and come between these glances, Hilberto wonders.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Words Without Body"
Lawrence holds one knee and bows his head deep again.
"I didn't think he'd come back as an undead."
"Ha. You filthy bloodthirsty son of a bitch, I didn't know you were going to avenge your country if you died. I want to know my father's heart.
I can't help but wonder if you were right to interrogate the king. "
"Follow is good. More than that, in this one case, what's the matter with you?"
"Yes, it's about the sword we used to fight him."
Lawrence pulled out his lower back sword and offered it to himself.
Siel-Teira's treasure, the Devil's Sword Taylaayul.
Made from the highest quality orihalcon picked from the mines in the country, let the contemporary best and most regarded Dwarf blacksmiths hit it, and punched in some scarce dragon materials to create it. First of all, definitely the most expensive sword that exists in this country right now.
The effect as a magic item is' bullshit cleavage ',' irresistibly sturdy '… that's just it. However, the blow breaks the thick armor without a single blade, and the magic that stains it becomes a powerful shock, knocking it into the target. Many martial arts were given to generations of First Knights leaders. It was a sword that also became (or made for) an ally's flag on the battlefield.
Not only strength, but the beauty of its blade is praised by many songs.
... but the blade of the sword was now covered with blood.
"This is..."
When Hilberto accidentally embarked on himself, the guard took that sword from Lawrence and brought it to the throne.
Hilberto takes his own sword and sees the blade. It's a subtle shade of blood that's almost dry. It has an unpleasant humidity.
"It's dirt attached to the fold of the fight against him. This is the result of my immorality that I have tarnished the treasured and supreme magic sword of my country..."
"Good. What's better than that, this?"
"I don't know. Wash them, polish them, on the contrary, they won't fall off trying to cleanse the clergy.
A cleric says... I wonder if this is proof left that that undead is still not doomed and continues to curse "
"Oh my..."
Magic weapons are more or less resistant to degradation.
It doesn't destroy the blade so easily, it doesn't stain so easily.
It was an anomaly, not to mention such a magical sword with blood stains on it.
"To tell you the truth, the last blow of that battle, I thought was stubborn. It was a strange response like eating a shoulder blush.
If you liken it, it's as if... the shell had been slashed and the contents had escaped somewhere. "
"Hmm..."
Said Lawrence as he mumbled like it was hard to say.
The anguish of informing the venerable king of his own misdemeanor. But as a knight, Lawrence seemed to be driven by a sense of mission that he had to report everything he had learned in the fight.
"You can't blame me for that. If it was so magnificent that it was damaged, it would simply mean that the enemy was strong."
"Ha..."
"I don't know where he's lurking, but I guess we'll have to be prepared for what eventually turns up again. When the time comes, I'll leave it to you. Otherwise you won't be able to fight him.
Snow the thoughtlessness and the curse that set him free. "
"Absolutely! Hang in the honor of the Sword and Knights bestowed upon you by the King to defeat the Abominable Monster!
Lawrence looked clearly relieved, then seemed to tighten his mind.
It seems to have cemented its determination that there will be no second failure.
"Sometimes, my king. Something from the Federation…"
"Oh, or"
Lawrence asks, although she seems to have finished her main business for the first time, how she couldn't help but ask.
Hilberto laughed thinly at him.
"Nothing yet. They must be blue by now. I won't give them any more shards of scrap iron from our mines."
This Siel-Teira kingdom has deep relations with the western power, the Union of Gilleshhattar.
The Confederation shelters Ciel-Teira, who grants mining rights to the Confederation. It sounds good when it comes to mutual benefit, but the reality is that it is unequal according to differences in national power, and Ciel-Teira has continued to suffer.
... At least that's what the dissatisfied forces in the country thought.
Hilberto's big father-in-law for the coup is the dissolution of this unequal relationship.
His move set fire to those who were unhappy with the Federation while giving up 'there's nothing we can do'. Even Hilberto himself received surprising support.
It was enthusiastically supported, especially by mining officials and traders. They had a strong sense of dissatisfaction that they were being forced to do unequal business by eating political incitement.
Lawrence had nothing to do with it directly but seemed to be burning his proselytism.
"If there is a disturbing move in the Federation, then it is time for our Knights to show strength. Scratch and slash the necks of the inhumane Confederate idiots."
Lawrence holds his fist forcefully and vows victory.
"Uhm. But the Federation is mighty, even if the strength of the soldiers makes our country have a share. I'm not the only one who can fight in my country.
Fighting is when you have to fight, get ready to win as much as you can before you start. Be careful not to inadvertently imitate the Federation. "
"Ha.... So I'm in this"
Pulled into the office, Hilberto stretches as much as he wants, then shakes his head like he's weakened.
"Man, it's tiring to pose bravely"
Hilberto has been seen by the public as an aversion to the Federation as a serpent scorpion vs. a federal hardliner, but his thoughts are actually slightly different from those of the public. Instead of that, he was a man who looked at things a little more big-picture.
He knew how troublesome it was to break up with the Federation and make a debt to the four powers. Huge enemies are born right on the side, and negotiations with virtual allies are not a glimmer.
If you do poorly, they'll make you a shield against the Federation. So far there has been no movement for the five powers to contend with each other, but how long will that peace last? From now on Hilberto has to do 'Diplomacy of the Golem' instead of 'Tough Diplomacy'.
It's just that I still thought it was better than finishing off with a cold meal for the rest of my life. That's all I make because I got the throne.
Which is better for the country as a whole...... well, we're going to talk about this.
For Hilberto, the usurper of the throne, the existence of public opinion that holds him back is very gratifying.
If there is a strong popular backlash, there is also a fear that the Hordes will run into opportunism, not to mention how much Hilberto is against the backdrop of the power of the four powers. If he hedged, he might have joined hands with the Federation and sought protection.
But the status quo has come as far as' bisecting public opinion ', even if it is a little harsh. Flying the flag against the detour in this situation would be risky.
Rather, the problem now is those people who don't know where to stay with the radicals that are on track under Hilberto.
They can lynch in search of federally sourced people in the city, or they are seriously planning on getting in near the border and beating the federals back to the federation. I stabbed Lawrence with a nail, but I can't even control the actions of civilians who condone the brave army.
If now inspired federal public opinion leans in the direction of 'Ciel-Teira Discuss...' I don't even want to think about what will happen. Even if reinforcements are received from the four powers, it is Syel-Teira who is in contact with the Federation that will become a battlefield.
The same is true of Rosalia, the former queen of Elbert, the former king, and one case concerning his daughter René. Hilberto himself was not willing to do this to Rene and Rosalia.
Assuming some lord tries to push Rene up and put up the 'Orthodox Royal' flag, there will never be anyone who is a woman, and who is an abominable child, to follow. I knew Rene wouldn't be such a threat to my throne.
But the knights, who were particularly critical of former king Elbert, starting with Lawrence, and the citizens who supported Hilberto, kept screaming, 'Stop the bloodline of the former king'. There was no reason to stop this, and he gave the go-signature in a position of passive favor.
If such an undead was born as a result, it's a hell of a yab snake.
"Rene, huh? Don't resent me... but you can't talk to me."
I've never even seen my face before. Hilberto puts my thoughts on my niece.
It was 10 years ago that the father and son were chased by the court. It wasn't long after René was born.
Hilberto is one of those who used the Renes as an ingredient to criticize Elbert. 'Abominable children were born because they welcomed a humble woman out of the civilian population,' he vociferously condemned, but if there was any ingredient to ketch Elbert's position, that would just have been fine, and he didn't think anything about Rene.
There have been reports of the devastation of an armed adventurer party somehow.
In combat against demons, adventurers outnumber knights, who are regular combatants, for the most part. It was a hillberto that didn't bother me to think that an undead might be after his own life like knocking down such an adventurer to a touch of armor.
"Ugh... my head hurts. Wow. Become king and pile of challenges."
Well, Lawrence won once, so he'll win again, Hilberto thought.
I wanted to think so.
