"Dear Ars, may I ask you a few questions?
"What's up, Payne? Was there a new problem?
"No, not so much a problem, but maybe it's going to be a problem from now on"
"What? If you have something to worry about, it would help if you told me."
"Isn't Master Ars thinking of avenging Master Carlos?
"... Vengeance? No, you're still investigating who attacked Master Carlos. You figured out who it was?
"No, we haven't figured it out yet. but being able to beat Master Carlos, the Fontana family owner, is not possible first with a normal knight. You will definitely be at least the prowess of our class. And the kings were attacked just before entering the kings' realm. … there are naturally a limited number of forces that have been able to move more than one of our principals on that occasion"
"Don't. If you doubt the ambiguity because you haven't confirmed it, you will increase the number of enemies. If you can't just speculate and shout revenge, you're gonna see this one hurt."
"I think so too. But some of them won't."
"... Could that be the kind of voice you're hearing on Fontana territory? He wants to avenge Master Carlos."
"For the sake of Fontana, it is natural in a way to contemplate the vengeance of Lord Carlos, who was dastardly darkened and lost his life in order to achieve the goal of Especially those who try to move with emotions alone without being able to take a big picture of things."
"I see. And will that be a pretty deep-rooted problem? If you're the kind of guy who thinks it's natural to take the revenge of Master Carlos, the spearhead might change when I'm stuck with the revenge. I'm not even trying to avenge you. You mean I might say I'm a hipster or a weak hipster?
"Yes, you're right."
He did the job of improving farmland, attracting talent, building schools and creating uniform standards to empower Fontana in the city of Fontana.
Paine talks to me like that when I grabbed a desk and I was working so hard.
That was something I didn't really think about.
It is possible that there are people who consider Carlos' hatred of sudden death.
I didn't really think about it.
To tell the truth, I didn't face Carlos' death firmly because my life came first and foremost to the status of principal proxy of the Fontana family.
I think Carlos was a good boss for me.
Immediately after the defeat of Raymond, the Fontana family sergeant, he had no vision of what followed, but that was what was saved by Carlos.
Being a knight under Carlos' command left Raymond uncertain, and he was given even the territory.
And then again, Carlos was sweet to me.
Sometimes it would have meant that his power as Barca was needed for Carlos as well.
But still, I was quite free to move under Carlos' protection.
This is true, for example, for one business.
Even when I was developing something new and making money using it as a seed for business, Carlos was watching over it.
What would have happened if Carlos had fooled me into being a knight of the lower bitches peasant ascent and a greedy nobleman who would take up the products he developed?
It would have been impossible, in the end, to make money, as it is now, and build on it to further develop the Barca and connect it to new businesses, etc.
Sometimes I wondered if an unscrupulous gesture would fly in and die, but overall, I was quite free to do it.
I wouldn't thank you enough.
In that sense, I had a crush on Carlos.
but that makes it a difficult issue to pursue Carlos' death in depth.
Of course, as Payne put it, it's impossible that Carlos would do anything completely about being attacked and dying.
But that's why you tell me who to hate.
If it were different by denouncing some nobleman by name, it would be a big problem.
In the worst case scenario, that could lead to war.
Of course, it can't be that Fontana fights somewhere in the present state.
Now is the time to save your strength.
"I can't move to revenge in the present situation. but I do have feelings for Carlos, too. So let's do something else to distract the dissatisfaction"
"Is it something else?
"Let's hold a big funeral for Master Carlos. That's why we should mourn Carlos, who died all over Fontana."
"... Speaking of which, I hear you previously held a festival in Paramere, the former Arborest territory. So, at the same time that we make it widely known that Ars is also heartbreaking about Carlos' death, we're going to tear together and suppress the excitement?"
"Oh, I have money. Let's have a big funeral. For whatever reason, it may be a good idea to distribute to the entire Fontana territory how excellent Carlos was in the book. So, let's add this at the end. He mourned the death of Carlos and said Fontana would mourn for a year."
"Serve mourning. So Fontana doesn't fight for a year, does she?
"Can't you? If anything, I'll defend you, but basically from here on out, I'll state otherwise for offense. One way or another, I think it would be an excuse to curb the movements of extremist knights in Fontana territory."
"Right. As a precaution, defense forces will need to be deployed at points bordering other territories, but I wonder if it will help prevent allied runoff."
"Okay, then it's settled. Shall we prepare for the funeral? However, you can announce earlier that you will be in mourning. Can you ask me, Payne?
"Yes, I did, Master Ars."
All right, all right, now I've got another reason to give you a little time.
Let's look into the history of the Fontana family for funeral relations and try to be the most grand.
It may be odd to say that you will serve mourning or something and have a grand ceremony, but that would be okay.
Thus, as the snow began to fall a little bit, I was to recommend the funeral preparations while ordering the writing of a book called Carlos' Great Trajectory.
