"Carolina, Renalier. We're going on a date."

"And suddenly..."

"What's going on? Suddenly."

The next day, Erqueur suddenly invited Carolina and Renalier on a date.

What are you two up to? and look surprisingly elquille.

"Look, I'm here because of Ederna. Let's go sightseeing."

"Nothing. I don't mind... Is your job good?

"It's over now."

I'm done bringing Shehrazard to the princess witch (Medium), and I'm done making Nia and Cecilia friends.

Already, the placement of all the pawns is over.

Hence Erkühr was free.

"Really? Then I will be with you."

"I'm coming too"

The three of them decided to take a stroll through Ederna.

Ederna.

It was a long time ago, more than a thousand years ago, that this city was built.

According to the literature, it appears that it was built before the birth of the city state Lemuria, the city of the beginning of the Lemurian Empire.

This Ederna began to develop when the Emperor, who succeeded after baldness, set up a naval base.

Since then, he has defended the peace of the Album Sea, the inland sea of the Lemurian Empire, as the base of the Lemurian Empire Navy.

Later, when the city of Lemuria was devastated by barbarian incursions...

There were also times when the capital of the Western Lemurian Empire was placed.

And after the death of the Western Lemurian Empire...

As the largest city on the Aperia Peninsula, it is the capital of the Kingdom of Ederna.

That's right, it's just the capital of a country. It's full of people and it's full of energy.

On both sides of the road, merchants raise their voices and offer customers a lift.

When you look at the various properties being traded, you can hear that they are also prospering economically.

The building is made of stone and the roads are well paved.

And fresh water was supplied from the water bridge, moisturizing the city.

Well, I can't help but be a little unhygienic because of garbage and manure.

That's all it's developed if you turn it around.

"But... well, what do you say. Compared to Nova Remulia, it's no big deal."

"Not very different from Elstadt in the Kingdom of Hayastan"

Carolina and Renalier divulged their honest thoughts.

Hearing that, Erkühl laughs bitterly.

The city of Ederna has a population of two hundred and fifty thousand.

This is the size of a big city in this world, especially in the West.

Even cities with more than 10,000 inhabitants can only count.

That's all the Western world has been devastated by long wars and the economic system has collapsed.

Incidentally, the city of Nova Lemuria, the largest city in the Lemurian Empire, has a population of 700,000.

The second city, the city of Alektia, is 400,000.

The third city, the city of Otheloria, is 300,000.

The population of Elstadt, the capital of the Kingdom of Hayastan, is 150,000.

The population of Kurtellifon, capital of the Kingdom of Fars, is 600,000.

It should be noted that the population of the city of Lemuria, the capital of the Lemurian Empire during its full season, is one and a half million.

"Well, compared to the devastation of the city of Lemuria, can you say we've rebuilt a lot? The city of Ederna. For some reason, the rule of the Kingdom of Ederna is stable. You can leave the Aperia Peninsula to the Kingdom of Ederna in the future.... Hey, store owner. That skewer, give me three."

Elquille buys three skewers of some kind of meat at an outdoor shop that just took her down the street.

Two of them were handed to Carolina, Lunarier.

Erkür smells cum and meat.

Make sure it's not rotten beef.

It is important to note that meat bought in this kind of outdoor shop is often seriously rat or cat meat.

After checking his safety with the smell, Elquille stuck to the meat.

The gravy is overflowing...... but it's a good meat to eat.

"No pepper, just salt... well, sometimes"

It tastes a little scarce when it comes to Elkür eating a meal where spices have been used for a long time.

"But eating while walking is fun inside. I'm not behaving very well."

"The atmosphere is important"

With all due respect, the three of them take a pleasant stroll through the city of Ederna.

A strange exotic land is something you can quite enjoy just walking.

"By the way, Your Grace. Do you have any idea from which country exactly this crowning ceremony is coming?

"Well, I know for a second. Nevertheless, there is also the possibility of a sudden rescheduling…"

Erkühl finished his last meat and threw the skewers to the ground.

Japan would almost be exposed to a ban on the poisoning of garbage and accusations, but there is nothing wrong with this extent in this world where the poisoning of manure is ok.

"I am not familiar with Western circumstances. Make sure you tell me."

Renalier asks Elquille to tell me too.

Elquille thought a little and then nodded.

"Okay. Nevertheless, I can't help explaining the small country. Only the major countries, let me tell you."

Elquille stuck one finger out.

"First of all, the dog-shaped Beast Nation (Warbeast) nation of the Southern continent. Raus I, King of the Kingdom of Cerda. You are descendants of the barbarians who conquered our land of Lemuria, Cerda, and plundered the city of Lemuria. This time, visiting Raus I is exclusively famous for his harsh rule of the heathen fae."

The Kingdom of Cerda is a country founded by the Dog-shaped Beasts (Warbeasts), a western Mesian nation.

It has therefore adopted a policy of repression against non-Western denominations, such as Orthodox, Alektian, etc.

Harsh control over those still in the non-dominant hierarchy (human beings) and heavy taxes on the old ruler and wealthy Long Ear (elves) were also in Elkhur's ears.

"I've heard of it. He imprisoned an Orthodox bishop or was rebelled by a human race..."

Carolina glanced at her uncomfortably.

From the Carolina of Orthodox Messianism, I guess Lous I's behavior isn't very pleasant.

To Carolina's words, Erkür answered with a shoulder flaunt.

Nothing. Erkühr does not consider the means of oppression evil.

As one instrument of governance, I believe it is effective.

"Oh, I see that king, he's ruling the country well. Anyway, the Beasts are a majority in that country. Granting privileges to Orthodox Mesians (Warbeasts) to take land and property away from Orthodox Mesians (humans) and Long-Eared (elves) who have assets is an effective way to do so. The king himself is quite a discriminator."

Though it would be more convenient if it were from Erkühr.

"Now, the other is west of the Aperia Peninsula… the westernmost country on the North Continent. Recardo I of the kingdom of Tretum, a nation of cat-shaped beasts (Warbeast). It was originally the same tribe as the Kingdom of Ederna, so don't call it a fraternal country. In fact, I am close to the Kingdom of Ederna. So far, we have no friendship with our country without any particular rubbing."

Hundreds of years, back in time, they are also barbarians who ravaged the Lemurian Empire...

I have fought against horseback nomadic peoples several times, and so far I am not a bad friend with the Lemurian Empire.

It also helps that we are far from the land of the current Lemurian Empire.

"And...... the furling kingdom that should personally pay the most attention to trends right now. It is rapidly expanding its forces by adding the surrounding small and medium-sized countries and the tribes of the Beasts (Warbeasts) to its umbrella. The King has two names:" The Lion King, "Ludwig I."

"You've heard that name before. Even in my country, the bards are singing, right? I've heard it's an orthodox Mesian country."

"Well, you know me well."

Many of the Beasts (Warbeasts) believe in Western Mesianism.

It is in alliance with the Lemurian Empire, the same as the Kingdom of Ederna.

Because the Westerners, after being ostracized as heresy, thought to rebound their forces by preaching to the Beasts (Warbeasts).

And I can say that the prospect has been successful so far.

Most……

In the kingdom of Ederna there are about half westerners and Orthodox, we do not know how the forces will fall, and in the kingdom of Tretum there is also a move to convert to Orthodox.

When considered in conjunction with the extension of the kingdom of Fullering, an orthodox state, the future of the Westerners could not be said to be bright.

"Well, there are a lot of other tribes and nations, but at the very least, the countries that should be slapped to the head are to this extent. Do you have any questions?

"Question. Same Orthodox, but how's Lemuria and Fullering getting along?

To Renalier's question, Elquille gives a little thought before answering.

"For once, we are granting the status of Governor and Consul of the Dependent States... well, to that extent. Looks like you're using the title this one gave you. Well, at least we're not hostile."

Most importantly, Erkühl doesn't feel very comfortable with the Fullering Kingdom.

Rather than that, it would be right that the humans of the Lemurian Empire do not feel comfortable with the kingdom of Fullering.

For some reason, it is the same orthodox state.

If the Furling kingdom continues to develop like this, it could become a contender for the leadership of Orthodox Messianism.

Hence Erkühr was on strong alert.

"What is the national power of the four countries like?

Renalier asks Elquille again.

Elquille looked difficult.

"That's a difficult question. Right...... the biggest country would still be the Kingdom of Cerda. The southern continental coastal area under the control of the Kingdom of Cerda was one of the leading barn zones of the Lemurian Empire, and it has hardly been vandalized by the barbarians. In addition, the city of Cerda in the capital reaches a population of 500,000. The navy is not as powerful as our country either, but... most importantly, it has an interest in desert trading in the commercial zone of the Western Album Sea and on the southern continent"

Not only the Navy, but also the Army of the Kingdom of Cerda, will never be insulted.

Most Western states… Ederna, Tretum and Fullering are nominally kingdoms within the territory of the Lemurian Empire and belong to the Lemurian Empire…

Only the Kingdom of Cerda claims to be a kingdom, on par with the Lemurian Empire.

That means that's all you have to say diplomatically.

"So what's next?

"Hmmm, well every country has a long and short... right, which country do you guys think you are?

On the contrary, Elquille asks Carolina and Renalier.

First, Lunarier answers.

"Kingdom of Ederna. Because the Aperia Peninsula has a survival monetary economy and the cultivation of commodity crops such as grapes and olives has flourished"

"I see, it makes sense. Carolina, how about you?

"It's the Fullering Kingdom. The Garria region, the territory of the Kingdom of Fullering, is certainly not a commercially developed area. But the land is flat and vast, and agricultural productivity can never be said to be low. In addition...... its military power is powerful. Especially the Fullering Knight... the heavy-duty cavalry is troublesome by mass."

"I agree with Carolina. Military relations, especially when horses are involved."

Erkühr smiled.

The current tide in the world is cavalry, not infantry.

With its powerful cavalry power, Ludwig I is rapidly expanding its territory.

"... is the kingdom of Fullering so full of cavalry?

"Recently, in the war that Ludwig I fought...... I heard he mobilized 20,000 cavalry. I mean, at least you have 20,000."

The Fullering Kingdom has a very developed feudal system.

Compared to other western states, it is strictly stipulated that the kingdom of Fullering said 'how much land you have', 'how much nobility of status' and 'how many cavalry you must have'.

It is also only the Kingdom of Fullering that is building a strict identity system, such as the title system.

Other countries, like the Lemurian Empire, have liquid parts of their identity for the price.

Nobility of other kingdoms… The ruling class, the Beasts (Warbeast), is corrupting and losing its martial temper in Lemurian-style life, while the Fullering kingdom has yet to lose it.

How bad it is in the countryside, because culture has not developed.

"Well, if I may add... the Fullering Kingdom is currently increasing its territory in Ikedondon. As a country, it is vibrant. Most importantly, the king is excellent. We should keep an eye out for trends."

Elquille has said that since...

I flipped my cape and turned around.

"Well, should we go home?... Tomorrow is the crowning ceremony and that night is the dinner party. Tomorrow's show is a sight to see, Carolina, Renalier. Stay tuned."

"What the hell is a show..."

"What do you..."

Carolina and Lunarier try to ask the true meaning of the word...

I took a breath.

At this time, Erkühl...

For he had a terrible grin, as he had when he slaughtered an enemy soldier on the battlefield, drunk with an abusive comfort.
