"What do you mean, Barca's? It is not something to be allowed to refuse, such as to lay hands on a royal messenger. What are you gonna do with that?"

"Calm down, Lord Elance."

"There's no way this will calm you down. What happens if the King's Capital finds out about this? The Fontana family will stand in distress. Turning the blade on this messenger means it is treason to the royal family. You will follow the same path as the Percival family."

"All of them, the results were the same. This messenger even said he would consider Valkyrie a disobedience to the royal family if he did not send them all to the King's capital. I can't do that. Originally, this royal fate itself was intended to push the impossibility of the difficulties to the Fontana family and, if successful, to make the forces of war available to the royal family, otherwise to contend with Fontana and the other great nobles. I mean, either way, it's gonna be a fight. The results are the same."

"But didn't you mean to talk so we wouldn't? In the first place, it is not the same result, etc. It is as if we are going to contend with other great nobles without being able to carry out the royal decree, and with the king's messenger in our hands against all the aristocrats. Especially when it's not good to be clearly hostile to the royal family."

"No, let's be clear at this point. Let Fontana cut her hands off with the royal family. Had I listened to the royal order, Lord Garrod could be the next dancer to Master Carlos as well. I can't let that happen."

"Cut your hands off? royalty or something? Are you serious about that, Barca's"

"Absolutely."

"Is that something you can do? If you don't know that, you can't help but be told you're a fool who doesn't know what's real, Barca's. I buy things from the royal family that I would never need anywhere else. Even though the royal family has declined, there is still reason to be treated differently by every aristocrat. I'm not saying you don't know that."

"Salt, right? Only the royal family sells salt. We must not live in a nobleman with any mighty power if this is not to be in our hands. That's why the royal family still exists"

"Exactly. That's why I'll tell you as many times as I can. You have to get along well with the royal family. Even if they say they can't, there can't be anything to do with the messenger. What are you going to do with this responsibility, Barca's?"

I ordered my part-time brother to defeat the messenger.

And then Brother Byte left while he was looking at it.

There were only a few apostles and their men on this occasion, but there were other apostles who came to Fontana.

I guess I went to hold onto those patterns.

The perimeter finally moved out when the situation moved that far.

The knights of Fontana, who had not kept up with much of the crime, come to me at the same time and ask questions.

Elance and I, the knight ruling Burmese territory, were among the loudest.

Well, I don't have to wonder if it was too much for me to suddenly wave my weapon at the messenger.

but I can't help what I've already done.

This place will have to push through in a targeted atmosphere that was the default route already.

Or because I already feel completely out of the royal family in me, I'm not even willing to ask you to bow your head now.

That's what Elance tells me, but ultimately it's the royal family's greatest value.

In this country, which has already collapsed long ago, there is a reason why the royal family still remains in such an important position.

The royal family, which is overwhelmingly inferior to the great nobility in its power, still maintains its position in alliance with the hegemonic nobility, not least because of the shapeless form of authority.

The royal family has powers that no other nobleman has.

That's a "sale of salt" that only the royal family has.

Salt is a product that people will absolutely need in their lives, and they cannot live without it.

No matter how much more magical nobility, salt is more essential than carrying out life activities.

Only the royal family sells the salt.

In other words, hostility to the royal family means that you will no longer have access to its salt.

Salt exclusivity.

Why, only the royal family can do it.

In fact, the land of this country, to which the first king was pleased, has no place to have access to salt.

Surrounded by snowy mountains, wetlands, or great valleys, the land is not bordered by the sea, which makes it an island of land that cannot reach other countries properly.

I mean, you can't take salt from the ocean.

And, unfortunately, there is no other place where salt can be collected.

It means that no matter how much power the aristocrats accumulate independently, they cannot be completely out of hand with the royal family holding a strategic substance called salt.

So how can the royal family retain its status by exclusively selling salt on such a land island?

That has to do with the power of the royal family.

I mean, magic.

The magic of the royal family is the magic of creating salt.

The royal family today magically creates salt and sells it.

Once upon a time, the first king led all the wizards to unite the land and unite it as a nation, and there must have been great reasons why salt could be created.

Incidentally, when I was still in power, the royal family used that mighty power. Something called great magic existed.

In the remaining literature, it is assumed that just after the pillar of light, all the matter there was converted to salt and collapsed.

Unpreventable and powerful magic, known as the [light of judgment] that engulfed a city or an entire army, was the object of awe from all men as the great magic of the royal family.

Although such great magic has already been lost, the situation has not changed that only the royal family can create salt.

So, as Elance put it, now that we have the royal messenger in our hands, the Fontana family may not have access to salt in the future.

That way, no matter how Fontana develops, sooner or later the Fontana family will collapse.

I guess that's why Elance even called me a fool who doesn't know what it is.

"Don't worry about salt, Lord Elance."

"What? That can't be right. I need to speak to all concerned more than hostile to the royal family. Obviously, getting salt will be significantly more difficult."

"So it's okay. You'll never lose your salt."

"... is that true? No, I don't believe it at all. Whatever you think, it should be difficult to procure salt in the future. I can't just talk about it on the tip of my mouth. If salt is available, I want you to prove it."

"So this is the proof. I'll make salt in the future. My Barca will start selling salt."

"... what? I guess so. You mean you can make salt? That should happen..."

"If you doubt it, take this. If you put one in your mouth, you'll see that it's salt. But it's a little different from royal salt."

I said I would prepare it for Elance, who asked me what I would do about getting salt in the future.

And hand over the evidence to Elance.

It's the salt I made with magic.

I can magically create salt.

Actually, I could have made salt for a long time.

The first time salt was made was when crop varietal improvements were made.

When I made dark salt water and put seeds in it and took a way to sort it out, I put a lot of salt in the water and my parents got mad at me.

So I decided to make salt with my magic to make and sort high concentrations of salt water.

But I didn't make much salt and sell it.

I needed to make money to buy weapons from a young age, but still didn't get my hands on just selling salt.

Because I just understood that a farmer's child couldn't have done decent by sticking his hand in the salt market that only the royal family specializes in.

But I'm not such a farmer's child now.

Now, I can handle making and selling salt by magic.

I mean, I wasn't even thinking about it.

Only the royal family can make salt, which is why we moved on to thoughtful action.

By the way, the salt I make is rock salty, and the royal ones taste a little different like celestial sun salt made from sea water.

but Elance also seems to have figured out that both of them are salt if spoken.

"This surprised me. You had these hidden balls, Master Ars."

"What do you say, Lion? That's definitely salt, right?

"Yep. It seems to taste a little different, but I'm probably pretty sure this is salt. Have you already spelled the magic that makes this, Master Ars?

"No, you haven't. But if we're going to set ourselves apart from the royal family, we're going to spell it right away. Now there's no problem with salt procurement."

"Now, on behalf of Lord Elance, I also have a few questions for Master Ars. May I ask?"

"Oh, sure."

"Put your sword to the royal family and create salt. This is a disobedience to the royal family that we can't even make excuses anymore. I would like to hear the sincerity of Master Ars in carrying this out. Where does Master Ars intend to send this Fontana?"

"Right. My thoughts are simple. I think Fontana should now be independent in order not to let Fontana's future come from the outside any further"

"… independent. The Fontana family will be independent."

"That's right. So I propose to everyone. The Fontana family should take off their smugness with the royal family and other aristocrats more than this and become self-reliant. That is, wake up the country with Mr. Garrod, the head of the Fontana family, as its head. I hereby declare the founding of the kingdom of Fontana with Lord Garrod as king."

How to break the current situation in which the royal family is just going to look down on the Fontana family and me and be unscrupulous.

Listen quietly or ignore orders even if you are guilty of treason.

I think there are a few options.

but if you want to have a discussion in a reciprocal relationship with the other person, you will need to drag the other person down to the same area as ourselves, or this one will have to ascend to the other.

So this time I decided to match them.

There is only one royal being.

If you're negotiating with a royal family that exclusively sells what it takes to sustain life: salt, why don't you just do the same thing with them?

Even Fontana sells salt, and then, to the throne.

That is, we make Garrod king as head of state, and we negotiate each other's positions as kings.

This means building a country that is also known as the Kingdom of Fontana.

Thus, even more than when the apostle was made deceased, a great deal of agitation spread between the sights.
