Galleria - The official name is [Principality of Galleria].

Among the peripheral lords, the Grand Duke of Galleria, with particular power, holds the peripheral lords together.

The Principality of Galleria alone holds more territory than the previous Rolphis. But the most amazing thing is that the surrounding lords recognize Grand Duke Galleria as their authority.

I left Baym and went into Rolphis, from where I found the atmosphere to be different when I entered Galleria.

It is a nation of noble subjects and a country of great power for the Lords.

Sitting on the ceiling of the porter, I watched the convoy stop on a troublesome journey between territories while escorting a distinguished group of specially prepared carriages and large porters.

"... that's very troublesome"

It was the third generation that answered my whine.

'You don't have a choice, do you? But if you tell me what Grand Duke Galleria's baggage is, he'll let me through for a cheap amount, and I'll be patient. Well, it's less burdensome because I give you the real thing and go through with the demon stones and other materials I got along the way.'

The Valkyries, positioned to protect the population, were wrapping their robes around and making each one appealing to have a gain.

When demons strike, react immediately to annihilate this. And demolitions are being carried out to recover demonic stones and materials.

'The Lord's power is the same in Bansaim, but that's the extreme here. It's also a subtle size as a country, so even a quasi baron house is big enough or something...... If you were a quasi baron house here, it would seem like a good way to get in or something. It seems like you have a lot of voice.'

The third generation seems to envy me, but there are still a lot of problems from me. Because the Lords manage the territory, there are places where streets are not maintained either.

They take a traffic tax every time they pass through the city or something.

They take traffic taxes because they use the streets.

... what an inconvenient country it just seemed.

Merchants negotiate with the nobility through numerous territories and even before entering the territory of the Grand Duke of Galleria.

"If it's this size, it's all about taxes."

"No, but this is the Grand Duke's luggage..."

"Storage fluctuates in value, so pay with gold coins -"

What you hear is how to make them pay more. And it was a negotiation about how to make it cheaper. The merchants were able to use the demonic stones and materials obtained along the way and go through them cheaper than they thought.

But it's a very headache issue when you think about going home. And when they return from this course, they will take the money.

Besides, I can't travel from Galleria to Lusoworth.

The merchants, too, think about the traffic taxes. They sell the merchandise at a percentage, but it would be an annoying story if you tried to make it a grand duchess.

The fourth generation is complaining about bumps.

"All that gold coin for this level of street maintenance? Besides, there's a lot of detention in the subtleties. There's a lot of people here, so they're stealing money. If you make it cheaper and invest in street maintenance, you'll make double. What are you thinking, lord here? Aren't you stupid?

He has also laid the foundations among the historical masters with regard to territorial management, and he doesn't really like the system of control of Galleria for the fourth generation.

"Manage it better!

The seventh generation was negative for the fourth generation's opinion.

'It's none of our business. Ma, I feel inefficient, but it's not our territory, and we care too much'

At least, Bansaim was a country that would come together around the king. There was some common law.

It's different in the same system.

Miranda, who was sitting on the ceiling in the same way, replied to my whining. You must have noticed from my whining that I compared Banseim to Galleria.

"It's not like a big country. But you do have a lot of lord power. They don't have court nobles or anything, and I can't believe it."

Grand Duke Galleria doesn't have any court nobles, apparently. There are ministers of the Grand Duke, but they are not treated as court nobles, nor are there titles. Everyone seems to be treated like a jury.

"A gathering of lords and nobles."

I manipulated the porter, looking at the moving group. Behind you, Clara operates a large porter.

The soldiers who saw Porter were watching Girosilo and us, but ignored them and went straight through.

When we entered the Grand Duke's territory, we had called upon ourselves not to collect toll taxes or anything else.

When I arrived at the Grand Duke's mansion, I thought it was unusual not to have a castle. However, the city of the Grand Duke has the function of a fortified city as it is.

Surrounding the perimeter with walls is the same as Baym, but it would be characterised by smaller and more military installations than Baym.

When we entered the city, we headed straight to the Grand Duke's mansion.

I'm pretty sure it's a city with a different vibe than Baym, but somewhere similar to Bansaim might be because the system is similar.

When the rare porter arrived, there was a crowd around and the children looked at the porter and let their eyes shine.

"No horses?

"Are you in there or something?

"Idiot, if that's what you're doing, where do you put your stuff?"

As I was going for the mansion listening to the residents like that, Eva was soaking with only her face on Porter's ceiling.

"Hih, people are so... oh, I want to sing"

I shoved Eva into the porter wanting her eyes to shine and listen to her song.

"I don't have time for this. They're close to war, so bear with me."

Eva doesn't want to go in there, she's holding her head back on me.

"Not always! I'm not busy when I'm not busy! So please, just a little time."

As I shudder, I say.

"It's a hassle with local elves and such organizations, I guess Eva said. Be patient. If you finish Russowerth, we'll make time in Rolphis."

In two unstable countries, it is not strange whenever war begins. I didn't want to stay in a place like that for long.

"Ugh, I knew it, but less chance"

Eva goes back inside the porter complaining.

A large number of carriages and baggage unloaded from a large porter were lined up in the Grand Duke's mansion.

The person responsible for coming out of the mansion will check those luggage with the merchants.

It is mostly a tool used for war.

Inside it's like, "How could you have something like this?" It even came in, but I decided not to care.

The large mansion is certainly what the Grand Duke deserves. It is not strange to have a castle because it is the heart of the country, but this one is easier given life.

The head of the mansion who checked his luggage was about to give instructions to his men to carry his luggage. Then one woman comes out of the mansion.

A woman with long silver hair came to us shaking her sarcastic hair.

In purple eyes, white skin feels the beauty of the crop somewhere. He was dressed like a knight somewhere, and it felt like a beautiful man in a man's dress.

The atmosphere is stiff. And I had the impression that he was tall and a samurai.

When he walked towards me, he pointed at Porter with his thumb.

"I'm sorry, who owns this guy? Would you like to talk to me?

I take off my hood and say hello.

"I'm Lyell, escorting the convoy. I own this guy."

Near me Monica was holding back, and I thought I'd say something in my usual condition, but she was shutting her mouth and erasing the signs behind my oblique.

(This guy would be competent if he kept his mouth shut from time to time)

The other guy looked me in the eye from the toe to the ceiling of his head, with his big chest up and his hands on his hips.

"Are you an adventurer? I'm a little concerned, but right now, okay?... I was watching this guy move. That's a wagon you can't let a horse pull? Looks like Baym even developed this stuff."

It seems Porter is the one who's interested.

Appreciating Porter makes me a little happy.

"It's not out there as popular as it gets. So, what about you?

Surrounding humans. Especially when the merchants looked at me and were awash. The people at the mansion also look at me with a frightened look.

The woman was just laughing.

"Excuse me. [Gracia Galleria]. I represent the Grand Duke."

If I thought it was a trait I heard somewhere, I never would have thought I'd run into one of the World War II maidens here. However, when I see you laughing, I think there are some gentle places......

"If we hold this guy in large quantities, we'll have fewer horses to pull the wagon. That's all we can feed our horses and get them into Russowerth. Can you tell me more about this guy? If you can see the remorseful face of that Ruthworth witch, I'll buy it even if it's somewhat expensive."

Those purple eyes looked pretty serious. And to see him laugh as he says he's going to attack or something, he's a battle freak.

From within the treasure ball, did you have the same opinion or the fifth generation?

"Oh, that? These guys, I actually thought they were just fighting over a set of rules? No way, you've been at bee wars for years? Didn't Alette talk a little exaggerated or something?

- I was confused.

The seventh generation is also donning.

'Is this a real war on this scale? You didn't get a good spot for Selva, who was often exhausted and perished.'

When I took a step back, the other guy came out a step back. As he reached out to grab my shoulder, Monica and Nowem, who were nearby, approached me.

But there was a voice from behind Mr. Gracia to blame.

"Sister! Aren't you rude to them!

Looking back, Mr. Gracia sighed and looked at him. You look a little irritated.

"It's none of your business, [Leold]. You got in the way."

Purple eyes with dripping eyes on silver hair. Apparently, Mr. Gracia's brother. My age seemed younger than mine.

When Mr. Gracia returns to the mansion, you will apologize to me, Leold.

"I'm sorry. My sister narrowed her horizons when it came to war like that... Oh, more than that. Thank you for escorting my luggage. I'm Leold. This is my sister's brother, acting Grand Duke."

I'll introduce myself.

"I'm Lyell, the adventurer. Well, I asked for an escort, so there's nothing to be thanked for."

Then, Leold, you lay your eyes down a little and laugh bitterly.

"No, because many merchants and adventurers will be more dissatisfied until we get here"

Look at your response, Leold, and the fourth generation will make a fuss.

'This kid has good roots, but you can't. By "acting grand duke," I mean, isn't this a male place? If I don't take over my position, I can only assume that they don't think I deserve it more than to say I'm younger. Besides, you can't apologize right away. Look around you.'

When I turned my gaze around, Leold, I saw your reaction and the people at the mansion were turning a defiant gaze.

The third generation, looking at the surrounding sights.

'Your sister is too strong, you're clustered around your sister. But that's crazy, huh?... This kind of talk isn't funny enough for me. There's quite a bit of assassination or something because it's too strong. My brother, you seem more manipulative. [M] Something tells me you're less cohesive than you heard. "

I feel sorry for you when I see the sight of hostility coming from all around me. I tried to lay it on myself.

(Leold, are you the same?)

Leold, are you feeling the sight around you, too, or when you smile at me, you go straight back to the mansion.

"Excuse me. Sorry to bother you. Bye."

Leold, you were a boy with the impression that his sister, Mr. Gracia, felt like a samurai, whereas somewhere he was a civilian. Two sisters and brothers in contrast.

The merchants who delivered the package received the reward and left the mansion. We'll be escorts, and we'll be back in the city for about two nights.

It's just that I felt like this country, which was extremely inclined to war, was a little - no, a lot more dangerous.

- In the mansion of Grand Duke Galleria, Gracia was calling Leold to his room.

The men of the Mansion had also taken lightly Leold, who would be reprimanded if there was anything.

A brother who is very strong and doesn't deserve a beautiful sister. My brother, who the Grand Duke didn't deserve, was recognized around him.

But...

"Leold, don't force me to follow you. You don't have to worry about it."

Gracia was treated in a different way than the attitude she usually showed Leold at the mansion. It was the attitude of my sister worrying about my brother.

Leold knows that, too.

"But if the other Lords squeeze it out of the merchants as it is, the price goes up... even though the finances are painful"

Galleria looks, at first glance, like the Lords are clustered in the name of the Grand Duke of Galleria.

But it's not.

They are using the Grand Duke and at war with Russowerth.

"I know what it's like to worry about me. But if you say that too much, you'll be assassinated for sure. Now that I'm not listening to you, I'm being taken lightly..."

The Lords revolt if they complain about income that is powerful and important even on the Grand Duke's orders.

And Gracia and Leold's parents were also actually in suspicious death. The exhaustion caused by years of war, and the decline of national power, cannot be concealed. Without glory, the surroundings would not follow, and now the Grand Duke could not truncate the surroundings.

Because at the time of the truncation, the surroundings truncate the Grand Duke and the country becomes rough at once.

Gracia doesn't really want to go to war either. It's just that the gift you were born with doesn't allow it. As Galleria's war maiden, she is asked to fight all around her.

I don't want to represent the Grand Duke, but Gracia who wants to put Leold in the Grand Duke.

But Leold's stubborn, too. I believe no more war is in vain, and I am actually crying by the Lords of the Border.

If you want to cry and cooperate, I don't know how far the Lords will cooperate. And Lords Without Borders have extraordinary income from looting in war. When I said stop, I was in a state of resistance.

"Anyway, I'll represent you until you grow up. But you must also think of a way to live free. They're really gonna kill us as we are right now."

Gracia's words were to abandon the Grand Duke. However, that was a worried statement as a sister.

Leold is.

"... then your sister will be forced to marry you. Did you forget that at the previous meeting, Battle B Girls said more was better or something? Those guys, they're seriously going to push a few men on your sister. That's crazy! Even my sister really doesn't want to fight."

Gracia understood her strength. And I also know the lords around me are afraid of that. However, Gracia can't do the war on her own, and when she's attacked by the surrounding lords, she loses.

And to Gracia like that, some lords have come up with proposals to jointly manage Gracia. I do not propose under the name of joint management, but the content is terrible.

I've told Gracia to have more than one child in the house. Though pushing back, it was also conceived of the possibility that the surroundings would nevertheless erupt in fear of Gracia's power.

That's why war is important to Gracia. Gracia is alive because she has an opponent - [Eliza Russowerth] - who can't fight without herself.

Without her, she could really have had a child in joint control by now and been assassinated if she could have done so.

"... but you can't run away. So even just you."

"Sister."

Worried sisters and brothers could only speak for themselves in the room. It looks like it's coming together from the outside, but the inside was worn out.

And to be clear, Galleria's status quo was packed -.
