"Ars, you seem to be still putting together a group as a child, too. You'll be struggling."
"Huh? Yeah, right. Sometimes they insult you because of your appearance."
"I guess so. I'll tell you a little bit about me. Ars, do you know how old I was when I became the head of the Fontana family?
"No, I don't know..."
"I'm 3. My father, my predecessor, died and when I was three, I succeeded the Fontana family governor. But do you think a 3-year-old could put the territory together?
3 years old?
About when I started plowing the fields?
Even if you have memories of a previous life, like me, you won't be able to put your territory together.
Anyway, I was told that too.
Few people approached me properly when they said that I was a piece of shit with kids, etc.
As a result, I could only mess with the field almost as much as I could behind the house.
"So it was Raymond who decided to put the territory together in my place. He used my position as guardian to run the territory. And then, even when I grew up, it kept happening."
"Isn't that good? I don't think that's a problem."
"There won't be a way. He's been bullshitting everything in the realm about the fact that I'm the only boy in the Fontana family. Take me as a puppet."
Oh, speaking of which, does it mean that Carlos, the boy, succeeded the Fontana family housekeeper without an older generation?
Well, it's also practically possible to privatize the territory if you keep the top as a child.
In retrospect, even when I went to offer Valkyrie to the Fontana family, it seemed like Raymond had a license to sell it.
However, the Fontana family crest was used for the permit.
Maybe my guardian Raymond was using his precious hanko on his own.
"I've always wanted an opportunity. Raymond will fail. And then this happened."
"Hmm? Are you saying you expected me to take you down?
"No way. I didn't even think about that. However, merely stating that an uninformed fortress of the Fontana family is beginning to be erected in the northern forest pioneering land allowed by him can cause enough leg loss. That's why Raymond himself was held accountable when you rioted."
"Oh, you mean it was Raymond's failure to finally give me a land ownership permit"
"Exactly. Even a small loss can trigger the breakdown of his forces because of it. But that's why the person in question suddenly disappeared. I've had a hard time. After Raymond's death, I'll have the power of Fontana in my hands."
I see.
Was that where the Fontana family moved slowly after I defeated the Fontana army led by Raymond in the field?
We needed time over there to wrap up the messy house.
I concentrated more on castle building than on attacking a city with walls, so I could afford it.
What would have happened if we had launched an attack then?
Well, let's not think about what if.
If it had been a siege, there would definitely have been an increase in the number of casualties here.
"Does that mean that Master Carlos already holds the power of the Fontana family together in one piece? Then there's no point in making peace with this one..."
"Not really. Raymond's relatives and men have been living off the sweet juice from him. When I take power instead, its flavor disappears. In other words, there will be a backlash. I'm following it on the surface now. Suppress it in your presence."
"Is that me?
"That's right. Even if I put the whole house together, my own handkerchief is small. But if we take in a new force called Barca, it will suppress it. So, this is the story. Ars, I'll take you as a knight and I'll do the territory. Be under my command."
Hmm, I also think it's hard to be noble.
I never thought that the land I lived in was in a swirling situation with numbers of rights tricks.
This is Carlos' suggestion, but what will happen to me?
A princess named Carlos, who apparently stands delicately in a power relationship with the Imaichi servants although he suppressed Fontana territory.
But that said, I'm pretty sure we're putting the land together as nobles.
If its lord himself comes and becomes a subordinate, he is telling us to let the land be entrusted, albeit small, by pouring what has been done before into the water.
Many parts of me don't know what they'll say after I become a subordinate, but isn't that a bad story?
I would be grateful if you would at least say that you are not guilty in this case.
More importantly, telling this story would also affect my relationship with Bishop Paul, who summarized the story.
I feel more scared of the possibility that I might continue to be stared at by a blah blah church.
All right, I've made up my mind.
Originally, I started fighting because they told me I was taking the land away, and I couldn't pull it off because I hung a soldier in my hand.
I wasn't thinking about bumping the territory out of nobility or anything.
But under the same conditions, this one is also troublesome.
Get some better treatment in terms of conditions.
Thus, a secret meeting between me and Carlos took place until late at night.
