"You've come a long way, Lord Ars. I took care of you the other day in battle."
"Lord Ghana, it's been a long time. Quick, but what's the situation?
"Right now, we have succeeded in keeping Parameters down. So far, the Arborest family has fallen completely. You don't seem to be in a position to recapture this paramere. I believe the Barca army has attacked the Cavalier Territory of Arborest to the west from this Parameter."
"I see. So you suppressed the surrounding land around Paramere for now. Brilliant."
"No, because it wasn't that hard of a job. However, I still have to say that popularity is tough on Fontana"
"So much?
"Yes. He seems pretty reluctant to govern this one. You can do it with all your strength, but it won't be a very good idea."
"Can't you do it with strength?"
"Naturally, if anything, the residents will be hostile. Assuming the upset of the Arborest family comes this way, we're going to help the other side. That way, we won't be able to protect Paramere enough, no matter how difficult she is said to be. Anyway, the boat riders who are used to this lake are important to safely navigate the lake where this demon lives."
"I see. That wouldn't be a very good idea to rule by force, as Master Carlos said. We'll have to do it another way."
"Do you have any thoughts on Lord Ars?
"Um, I don't know if it's something I can say because it's an amateur idea, but will you listen to me for once, Lord Ghana?
"Yeah, sure."
"If you mean the comfort of the inhabitants of the land you attacked and took in, I'm wondering if we should have a festival. Those who were in the fortress fought in unison, but were defeated as a result, and many things died. But their death was brave and honorable. That was fought directly. We know best. So how about we celebrate that good fight and carry out a festival praying for the blessings of all, including the inhabitants of the Fortress of Paramere?
"... can you say you fought well? I feel like it was just those who died in fear, frightened by the twitching water level and the demons of the lake lurking in its water..."
"No. They fought hard to the end, even in desperate situations. The inhabitants are united. Isn't that great? Oh, you don't have to tell me the fortress is submerged. If you weren't there, you wouldn't know."
"Quite evil wisdom works, Lord Ars. But do you think that festival alone will convince all the neighbors of Paramere?
"You won't. I just wonder if we're going to have a separation in organizing our minds. Right now, what the residents are angry about is unparalleled anger. powerlessness that those who are close to us die, but must obey their opponents. If it can be contained at all by the festival, it should at least be able to calm down on the surface."
"That's true, I think so."
"Besides, you wouldn't be wrong that festivals alone are scarce. Let's be profitable."
"Is it profitable? Specifically?
"Barca will develop land around here. The water fortress Paramere is in the middle of the lake, but agricultural land also exists around the lake, and there is currently nothing to live there. We also raised the water level of the lake by pulling down the river downstream of Lake Paramere. The land downstream of the river is then rough because it was cut off and watered down by the weir it was stopping. We'll fix it there, too."
"I see. Are you saying that giving the residents a direct benefit makes it harder to complain than they received it"
"That's right. Nothing. You won't have to convince everyone. A certain number of the inhabitants, if we Fontana neighbors, that's enough."
"... um, then maybe we can go. Then we shall prepare for the festival. May I ask Barca to develop the land?
"Okay. Let the neighborhood know early about the festival and ask the residents to help as well, as you can put on a daily allowance if possible. If we prepare for those who have died in our own hands, it will only work."
Coming to the site of Paramere, a water fortress on Arborest territory to the west by instructions of Carlos, I reunited with Ghana, which currently has this place under its control.
Apparently, in Ghana's opinion, domination by force is not a very good hand.
That's probably not a mistake more than a person in the field would say.
So I came up with the idea I had in mind by the time I got here.
It was about making it a festival in praise of the dead.
The fact that the resident who lived in Paramere died in this operation remains unchanged.
but at least not because this one thinks nothing of that death, but because the idea is somewhat better if you tell them you have respect for the hearts you mourn and the people you bravely fought against.
I don't suppose you can actually forgive me that easily, but the minds of people around here that are overflowing with death for the price of people are realistic.
I wonder if more people will admit to the new ruler from the damage account if they can develop the land and live a better life than ever before.
Ghana admitted that it was more than likely, and adopted my proposal.
Thus, the festival was to be held in Parameter.
