Running Away From The Hero!

After receiving the first report, the first feeling I felt was overwhelming.

“It's... over? ”

“I believe so, Your Grace. ”

“Already? Over? Really?"

“Yes. I heard Lord Ast was very helpful.... ”

Leah also had a very odd look on her face.

I honestly didn't expect Ast to solve this.

It was just a stress-relieving offering to military officials and magicians.

And you solved it?

Is the army incompetent? Or is Astor capable?

I still don't understand.

“It's tough.”

“Yes, it's a challenge. ”

Leah understands that this was not the only thing suspicious about her.

The Empire's geniuses have gathered but have not been able to resolve it.

What do you mean, you ended it in one meeting?

In fact, it is more persuasive that all of this was planned.

in fact, the fact that Ast was a spy from a foreign country, or a spy from a rogue organization. It means that such stories are more persuasive.

But the strategic value of this tactic is too high.

Even Imperial magicians wrap their heads around it and think about how to stop it.

Some of the Grifon, Drake and Wyvern Knights have been used by the military as a solution, and they have said that 24-hour aerial vigilance is required.

Considering a break, at least one unit has become a situation for the Knights to live in.

The Knights of the Sky, the most advanced of all the Knights!

It is a solution that was abolished by the military because it was virtually impossible.

Why would a spy tell you how genius in the Imperium, in the field of magical theory, and in the field of military operations, can't solve it?

“Leah, call the military and have them give Ast a medal or a thank you card. ”

The opponent is Ast.

The Mad Dog is getting rid of its notoriety even more in the Imperial Court.

So we concluded that it would be better to test the asthma once than to worry.

And as a result.

“Shhh! Mage Warden, how could you do this to me! ”

I concluded that it is not.

“Your Majesty, Sir Ast is out of his mind……. What should we do? ”

“Leah, Ast used to be a lunatic. You know what? It's just a little emotional right now, so let's leave it at that. ”

The look of Ast hugging his thankful face with teary tears surpassed the madman and made him grouchy.

“Ugh... Warden... I didn't think you'd hit the back of my head... I knew it! ”

What if it's an act? Then it would be polite to deceive them.

I was born in the imperial court where the Hand Helper was busy, and I grew up watching a lot of pretenses and lies.

In the Imperial Court, only Leah pretends not to lie.

Ah, it can be said to include the asts in any sense.

The only person who can do something that crazy in front of me is Ast.

Well, thanks to it, I was able to instinctively tell who was faking and who was lying.

The sewers have a distinctive trait when lying.

The middlemen tend to be obsessed with telling the perfect lie when lying, making it more noticeable.

Masters deceive themselves when they tell lies. Because he believes he is the truth, even if he tells a lie, hardly anything will be found.

And now, the image of Ast is beyond emotion, and the soul grieves.

If he can act as a howler, he can be the greatest fraud on earth.

“Your Majesty... I'm scared now. Please do something about it. ”

“Don't be afraid of this as a master of the sword. ”

I've been watching for about 10 minutes, but I don't see any sign of the end of Astor's cry.

No, even the sorcerer is evolving to fear that even the sorcerer is getting worse.

It looks like there's going to be another rumor in the Imperial Court soon, so we'll have to clean it up.

“Ast, if you don't do it properly, I'll just throw it up myself." ”

“Are you going to kill me?! ”

When I woke up from my seat, I couldn't help but laugh.

Ordinary people are willing to give their lives for promotion.

He's getting a promotion. He's starting to look like he's going to die.

Well, it sounds like there's been some good threats since the engagement.

“Well done, anyway. ”

“I have not solved anything, Your Majesty. ”

“That's your problem. ”

Ast glances at the art with a squeeze of hot tea, and he looks absolutely unattractive.

“What's with the look on your face? ”

“I'm sorry, Your Grace. It just appeared on his face. ”

“… You don't deny it, do you? ”

“Because I can't tell lies to a king like heaven. ”

Next to him, 'I'd rather deny it....’ I want to confirm Leah's words.

Is he big or small?

Speaking of blasphemy naturally, you don't want to be promoted?

“Thanks to you, I'm free to make my schedule significantly shorter. ”

“You can't be taking responsibility for being bored by me, can you? ”

“I'm not that stubborn either! ”

“… did you? ”

“Assuming so, what does that mean for Leah? ”

Leah clears her throat and avoids my gaze as she frowns a little.

And Ast...

“Your Grace, Sir Leah's eyes were like, 'Ah, did you? I had no idea.’ It means……. ”

“Sir Ast? There's no need to explain it at all. ”

He was kind enough to explain Leah's eyes.

Leah who wants to keep her mouth shut and how pathetic Leah looks at me, leaves Ast who spews heat to look at information from the intelligence agency.

“Hmm… heh… heh? ”

This military unit was entered to work for Ast, but was recognized as a moderately independent force.

It's a great greeting in my area of expertise, but that's the way it is with royalty.

Thanks to this, the commander is an Independent, so I also have access to information gathered from many places.

Among them, there were big and small battles and monster trends that occurred on the border, starting with foreign military training information.

The most bothered of them was the story of two small kingdoms in the middle of the continent.

“What happened? ”

“Yes. Two small countries in the middle tried to make an alliance with the prince and the princess for peace? ”

“That's a good story. ”

“That doesn't sound right. ”

“Oh, where is a pacifist like me? Lord Leah, do you know what it's like to burn a field you worked so hard on? If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble as an ordinary farmer! ”

“I'm sorry. ”

Ast, who laughs all the time or takes on the reverse, is usually angry.

Leah apologizes urgently, whether she was embarrassed by it or not, but does not drown Ast's rage.

The field seemed to have burned down.

“Do you know what it's like to have crops that have been raised to die for a year on fire? ”

“Sorry……. I'm sorry I don't know! I don't know because I haven't been farming! ”

If we leave it alone, we'll have to clean up Leah's trauma.

“Astroturf? ”

“… the baron! No, the baron will be a commoner from now on! ”

Leah calmed down slowly in the image of Ast staring at me.

“Ahh... Why can't my direct reports be normal? ”

I feel something fishy in my eyes, but I don't really care.

“Your Grace, when you said you were going to be a blood relative, does that mean that blood blindness didn't work? ”

“Yes, literally. ”

The first person to speak without enduring the brief gap was Ast.

“I knew it sooner than I thought. Hiding in two kingdoms, but the princess was assassinated. ”

“Oh, my God!"

“That's fucked up.”

“Yeah. Fuck it. ”

Simply put, the position of the two kingdoms as they speak was very complicated.

The princess was assassinated on her way to the prince-side kingdom for her engagement.

Except for the murdered and neatly deceased Princess, no one else can recognize the body.

There's no evidence of an assassin.

The Princess's dissidents seem to have arisen, as it was a rebellious engagement on the inside.

“There was an assassination of the prince. ”

“Wow... ”

Pair, mate. Even.

Ast looks surprised and claps his hands.

“It's on fire, and you've oiled it. ”

“Things got worse as a result until the end of the war. ”

The Intelligence sent word that the nobles had already gone berserk beyond the control of the Royal Court.

“Perhaps there will be a war soon. Ah... Poor peasants. ”

“Have you no pity for the dead royal family? ”

“Isn't that the fate of the royal family? Politically, you live your whole life, or you die in exile. ”

“Ah, Lord Ast? ”

“You say that in front of the royal family. ”

I have nothing to say because I am so sensible.

“Yes. Then how do you think Baron Ast, who pities the peasants, will fare?" ”

He is the head of an independent military force, even if it is small.

As access to this information is permitted, there is an annoying obligation to submit your opinions about it.

Well, I don't think the military will see it coming.

“Hmm……. It takes a little pinch in the middle. What kingdom?”

“The Kingdom of Madsen and the Kingdom of Halcas. ”

“Even in the middle……. Two kingdoms that are considered weaker kingdoms. ”

“Got blown up in the middle of nowhere. ”

“Is there anything good about two such kingdoms holding hands? ”

“Bribes were sent everywhere because they were weak, so they survived diplomacy instead of weakness. ”

Ast looks quite concerned as she informs you of the information she knows.

“This could get a little bit bigger. ”

“An army is the most organized military force in the world. ”

“If you two had fought, it would have been a fair fight. But if you don't, things can get a little bigger. ”

“Specifically?”

“How much continental warfare can most countries participate in? ”

“Huh?”

It's a small country in the middle.

A small country with the level of territory and military power that can collapse overnight.

Will a continental war break out because of such a small country?

“If it's a fight of pride, the friendly nations of each country will take part in it. ”

“Is it true? If there was a continental war with pride, it should have happened when the kingdom you lived in was destroyed. ”

“That was uncalled for. because the lord of my kingdom invaded first. However, in this case, you can make excuses at your own convenience. ”

“Both the prince and the princess were killed in a mysterious accident. ”

There is no information about the assassin.

All that's left is the body of the prince and the princess.

There is no logic to argue with each other, even if it is true.

“Even so, continental warfare is too big. ”

“Well, that's my opinion. I'm your butler, don't you think you should play a big game? ”

“What does Leah think? ”

“Umm... umm... ”

Leah looks at Leah with a slight glance. Leah looks at Ast with a puzzled look.

“I think Sir Ast is right, too! ”

“What was Ast's idea? ”

“Continental war? ”

“You're burying me because you don't remember, to be honest, Lord Leah? ”

“Hnng... ”

Leah looks cute staring at Ast with her mouth closed.

“Leah, homework. Gather your thoughts logically by tomorrow. ”

So let's make it cuter.

“I, Your Majesty? ”

“My line includes not only Ast, but Leah as well. No. Your role in military matters is much higher. ”

“Your Majesty……. ”

It's cute to look at me with a slight grudge.

“I'll put it on the force in your name. Can't you do it properly?" If you don't get enough, we'll report to the late Earl Arrays. ”

“Yes……. ”

Ast starts chattering next to Leah, a small sniff.

Ast's ability to sell Leah's mental wounds like salt on the wounded area is truly a masterpiece.

I snorted a sigh of Leah.

“Is this... going to work? ”

Arnold writes a report with a song about Leah's scream against Ast in some way.

Content that adds flesh to the content of the idea of the AST.

“Well, that should do it. ”

Our influence in the military was very small after all.

Because of this rough report, I could not even anticipate the impact it would bring.

Because half a year after the war between the Kingdom of Madsen and the Kingdom of Helkas, the continental war began, as the report said.
