"Yes, now, what did you say, Kyle? I hope you don't make too many jokes that surprise me."
"What are you talking about, Brother Ars? I'll say it again. Carlos, who was escorting the king to the king's capital, was killed. Definitely."
"Hey, wait a minute. Is that true? 'Cause that's crazy. I'm sure we'll have finally made it to near King's Landing by now. The time for communicating information is strange if such information now does not mean that he was killed as soon as he went south from Arborest territory. But there's no one who can defeat Master Carlos just like that, is there?
"No, brother Ars. Carlos was murdered today. In front of entering the king's realm. Attacked by a mysterious army, with the king."
"Hey, Kyle. So I'm telling you that's weird. If Carlos was murdered near the far realm of Kings, it shouldn't be possible for Kyle to get that information. Even a tracking bird can't bring that much information so quickly."
"This is not a transmission from a tracking bird, Brother Ars. I used the [chanting] spell."
"... what? Could it be that you've already succeeded in the [pronounced] culture of curses, Kyle?
"Yeah, I am. Actually, I finished my spell culture today. Undoubtedly, the Reed family can now use [Reading]. So, I was contacted by someone who was accompanying Carlos using that [pronouncement]. Carlos was murdered."
"... seriously. Master Carlos has more magic than I do, and [Ice Summons] can be used. I don't think it's that easy."
"Mr. Lyon says that maybe the people who've raided were in charge. There were a number of high-ranking troops who couldn't defend Master Carlos."
"Oh, yeah. Lion was there with you, right? Are you okay, Lion?"
"When you contacted me, you said you were hurt, but you managed to be safe. He just said the escort was devastated, scattered and running. I heard that the person I survived with had the Reid surname, and I was able to use [Reading], so I've been trying to pass it on to Brother Ars anyway."
Seriously.
I just don't think Kyle would lie about this.
[Narrator] Thanks to the fact that, on the day Carlos was thus raided, he was informed here far away.
That would be for sure.
... I need to calm down.
We must respond calmly.
Carlos was killed.
It will be necessary to ascertain whether this information is true.
But I think it's likely.
Then we must act on it.
What should we do?
Concentrate your magic on your head and spin your thoughts so fast that you wonder if even smoke will go up.
Carlos was killed.
If that is true, what impact will it have?
I don't know who the assailant is, but it shouldn't mean he's just a burglar.
Anyway, Carlos has hit so much power in the middle of a move called the King's Guard that he can't handle it.
In other words, this issue could probably involve the trinoble alliance that is now holding talks.
That means.
Carlos' death may develop into a political problem.
Needless to say, Carlos is the head of an aristocratic family called the Fontana family.
If the raiders were somewhere in the trinoble alliance, would the result of the king's death be taken to the question of Fontana's responsibility for any reason?
I would be able to make as many arguments as I could, such as letting him die without even being able to serve as an escort.
If we were on the killer's side, I don't think it would be strange enough to impersonate this one.
Hold Fontana accountable.
If so, who will be responsible?
It will be about who is known externally in the Fontana family.
One would of course be our Lord Carlos, who was the victim of this incident.
And the other was Carlos' aide, and Lion, who also followed the king's escort, was beginning to spread his name among other nobles.
but there's another one.
Someone whose name is spreading to other nobles.
It's me.
The name of Ars von Barca is undoubtedly of great significance within the territory of Fontana.
If you tried to hold the Fontana family accountable for failing to escort the king, could I have to deal with it?
If so, what will happen?
Officials from the old Urk territory and the old Arborest territory who took the territory must hold me accountable.
Even if we were knights of Fontana territory, if our territory were to be preserved, we might cut me off to sacrifice.
Could you take responsibility for me and tell me to cut my stomach or something......
No, I've never heard of harakiri customs, but is there something about being executed for guillotine and burning?
I don't know.
I don't know, but that's all we absolutely have to avoid.
Anyway, we need strength to get through what's coming.
There's just enough power to negotiate reciprocally with the three nobles.
The Barca Knights are too small for that.
At the very least, you must need a status or power equivalent to the lord of nobility, not a rural knight of peasant origin.
It's settled.
I have to move that Carlos' death doesn't lead to my life.
I'd say it was a shame Kyle brought us information quickly.
We should move now.
"Dad, are you there?
"Ooh. I'm here, Ars. Is there anything you can do for your father?
"Oh, Father, lead the soldiers back to the city of Fontana now"
"What, in the city of Fontana?
"That's right. Return to the city of Fontana and protect Carlos' son, Lord Garrod. Master Carlos is connected to my wife Lilina with blood. It would be my nephew if I were to be the child of that Carlos. Don't let anything happen to Master Garrod. Protect me and hide it immediately."
"Wow, okay. Dad just has to protect Master Garrod, doesn't he, Ars?
"That's right. Yeah, and then we'll hide in my Barca Castle for a while to keep Master Garrod safe. Evacuate me with Lilina."
"Wow, okay. I'll be there now, Ars."
"Oh, I asked you, Dad. And then I want Vargas back in the city of Fontana."
"Me too, Admiral. Should I come back with you and hit the protection of Master Garrod?
"No, I want to ask Vargas for another job. Gather your trusted men and go to Bishop Paul."
"Bishop Paul? Why do you need to go to church now, Admiral?
"A king was targeted on his way to a church-led meeting. Keep track of how you take responsibility for the Church. There's just no need to push into it. I want you to do more than that. Vargas has a new house."
"Huh? I got a new house? Is that what you need now?
"Oh. I want you to name the trusted men you took and lead the army further west"
"West? To the west of the city of Fontana?... Could it be Arborest?
"That's right. The river in Arborest territory is also a transportation network connected to other aristocratic territories. In the unlikely event that the King or Master Carlos were alive, the question arises whether he could safely cross the river. I want the land secured."
"Okay. But that's Arborest territory, Admiral. You don't want me to go, but it's not gonna be a problem?
"Lord Ragna, the lord of the Arborest family, should also be accompanied by Carlos for this raid. This means that there are no principals in Arborest territory. If any of the people left in the Arborest in our absence say anything, we can show them this testimony."
"... that's a testimony you had with the Arborest family. But about the war compensation claim. So the other guy shuts up?
"Oh, it is stated in this statement that repayment of compensation within the due date, or in the case of an emergency, the addition and modification of new conditions will be possible by Barca. And now it is a state of emergency for the Fontana family and it will be the application of that item. I mean, here's what you say. The Arborest family will have to pay the compensation immediately if the terms change, and if they can't, they will confiscate the territory."
"... dude, it says you can really change it or something. Besides, in such a tiny letter. Were you such a skinny worker, Admiral? I didn't realize."
"It's worse not to call the contract from corner to corner and sign it. So keep Vargas to the west of Fontana. I asked for it."
"Okay, Admiral. I'll get my men together and leave soon."
"Okay, next. Where's your old man?
"I'm here, kid. What do you want me to do?
"The old man speaks to the merchant immediately. Gather information through the merchants. And then buy the servant beast eggs. I want to increase the number of Valkyries."
"I see. I'm staring at the Memento family in the east. Was it also in order to ensure the movement of merchants that Vargas was forced to contain the west? Okay, I'm getting a better look at the merchants than I've ever been. I'll take care of it."
"I asked. And then, Paine. I want you to do your job, too."
"Yes, Master Ars. I beg your pardon."
"Payne wants to ask if Master Carlos is really dead. More accurate information than Kyle's [remarks], if possible. And let the knights in Fontana run the decree when they decide that Master Carlos's death is confirmed."
"Ha. What kind of decree is it?"
"Tell the new Lord Garrod to come and say hello."
"... the location is Barca Castle in Balkania, so are you sure?
"That's right. Master Garrod is only a toddler around the age of 2. I will protect the Fontana family as guardian. Greetings will be received by me on behalf of the young Master Garrod. All right?"
"Yes. Of course. Master Ars is certified as the Holy Knight by the Church, and is appointed by Master Carlos as the Commander of the Army on the Eastern Side. I would be foolish enough to support the Fontana family."
"All right, Bite, brother, go into this position and deal with the Memento army. Perhaps in a while, the Memento Army should also have information on this case. At that time, I think there's movement. Try to protect me without ever having to."
"Oh, okay. I'll take care of this place, Ars."
I'll do it.
If this happens, I'll do whatever it takes to keep myself from dying.
To do this, we absolutely need an organization called the Fontana family.
I do not know what the Trinity Alliance, a gathering of great nobles, is going to say.
One individual in the name of Ars von Barca, no matter how infamous he is to respond to it for that matter, is lacking.
That is why we use the name of an historic nobleman called the Fontana family.
Still, even if you put a young galore named Protection under control that can't even judge things properly.
Fuck you.
Now I know better.
Raymond.
Maybe you felt this way, too.
Raymond, the Fontana family slayer, who ran the Fontana family with Carlos on hand, even in circumstances that might be said to be unjustly taking over the house.
What was it?
But what was he called the Ice Guardian?
Monopolizing the Fontana family with their own breathtaking people was also a necessary measure to stabilize the territory.
Thus, when I was created by killing the Ice Guardian, I had to take advantage of Carlos' death and act as the second Ice Guardian myself in the name of protecting Fontana.
