"Your Majesty, forgive me. I don't want my life. but in exchange for this life, please forgive us for the survival of the Lubitsch family"

Lubitsch territory next to the east of the old Carmus territory.

The Rubitches ruling that Rubitch territory. My lord bows his head in front of me.

No, you don't.

This guy wasn't in charge until just now.

The original lord killed him in the Lubitsch offensive strategy, and it was the man now in front of him who inherited the magic.

The previous owner of the Lubitsch family was a grandfather named Brie de Lubitsch.

He was so skilled with swords that he was said to be even comparable to the former Sword Saints that he seemed to be told that he would have carved his name into history as an unmatched swordsman, even if he did not inherit the name of Rubitch.

But I guess it's sad.

He was blown away with a giant Tanatos dragon stick before he showed off his sword's arms.

Besides, apparently, he was a bad hit.

I hit him hard in the head and became the one who wouldn't go home as it was.

Otherwise, or maybe he would have resisted a little harder.

And with the death of that Brye, the Rubitch family magic pass was automatically inherited by the number one person in inheritance.

That's what's drooling my head in front of me right now.

Apparently he hopes for the survival of the Lubitsch family with his own life as a consideration.

I don't know what to do.

I just thought about it.

Until now, Fontana has expanded its forces by overthrowing the Urks, the Arborests, and the Carmus.

At that time, those nobles had perished every clan.

but actually apparently this isn't much.

Because Carlos was thorough with his Urk counterpart, I was wondering if this was normal, but apparently it wasn't.

As far as common sense goes, I won't do it until I'm annihilated when I defeat the other nobleman.

This also seemed to have been recognized as an implicit understanding.

Originally, at the time the first king founded his country, he gave each nobleman territory to govern in order to respond when immortals and demons appeared on the land.

In other words, we needed those who used magic to fight the immortals and so on.

That means you needed magical powers to fight the immortals and demons against you, and each demon has its own easy-to-fight compatibility.

For example, when Fontana had an opponent whose ice magic was ineffective, it also meant that Urk's fire magic could have been an effective hit on that opponent.

Thus, it was thought that magical beings were necessary for mankind to maintain and expand its survival zone, and that it was better to have variations.

So it seems that defeating a hostile aristocracy and seizing territory often did not do anything so harsh that its magic was completely interrupted.

When I heard about it, I thought it was possible for me to be a hegemonic nobleman.

Actually, I've been wondering for a long time.

If the world of war had lasted so long, I wondered if someone could have embarked on the cause of unity.

Until now, however, no reunification of the country has taken place when nobles have come out to contend and name hegemony in each nobleman's house.

I thought it would be unnatural if only the Doren royal family could make a necessity called salt.

The answer lies in the implicit understanding that the earlier magic will not do more than interrupt.

Even if they beat the other nobleman, it was recognized as Theory that at least one of them would leave someone who could inherit the magic.

And its occasional hegemonic nobility monitors it.

If there were a nobleman who broke that rule and went into such barbaric acts as to drive him to the annihilation of the nobleman's family, the hegemonic nobleman would impose a decree on each nobleman to impose a restraint on him for violating that rule.

That is why hegemonic nobility, even as the allies of each nobleman, could not be the champions of achieving reunification, and countless nobles ruled the territory while the war continued unabated.

In that sense, the Fontana family is the side helped by implicit understanding.

Once, the lord before Carlos died, and Carlos was to succeed the Fontana family at the age of three.

but it wasn't a coincidence, only Carlos was left uninterrupted by the magic of Fontana.

And the other person at that time was the Urk family.

For Carlos, I survived because the Urks kept their implicit understanding, but the absence of any Fontana bloodline other than myself was also caused by Urk.

Maybe that was unforgivable.

That's why we went into a code breaking act of not leaving one person behind when we beat Urk.

If it was true, it should have been harshly poked out of its surroundings.

He may have led the army to force Carlos to take the blame for the hegemonic aristocracy taking centre stage and pushing the Urk family to its annihilation.

but it didn't.

Because the Risorte family, a hegemonic nobleman at that time, had been defeated by the Trinoble Alliance.

And even then, Carlos succeeded in taking over the territory without taking responsibility because his opinions were not coherent and hegemonic nobility was not decided within the Trinoble Alliance.

Maybe that was luck in a way, or maybe Carlos went to such an act because he knew about the situation of the Risorte family.

In addition to accepting the king's protection, it may have been necessary not only because of his economic connection to the Wang Metropolitan Area but also because he could not be blamed for the extermination of the Urk family.

In other words, what is it you are trying to say is that the annihilation of the aristocracy is an overdone act.

I guess the idea will be that no matter how much we hunt down in the public, we should leave those who inherit the magic behind.

... What shall I do?

I don't care because I hold everyone back, but maybe I shouldn't be annihilated when I think about the future.

"Okay. Your Highness will cede the governor to his youngest son, Lord Brams, to take refuge. And the Lubich territory will be restructured into the Kingdom of Fontana. The knights of Lubitsch are to return their names and pledge allegiance to Fontana. And then we need to comply with the Fontana Charter. If that's going to happen, let's allow the Rubitches to survive."

"... so that means taking the whole territory away from the Lubitsch family?

"That's right. But we will not make it bad for the Lubitsch family, which has so far made its name in history as a nobleman. I intend to go on to advise the Council that I would like the Rubitch family to be involved in the operation of the country by awarding it the title of Kingdom of Fontana. How about that?"

"... Ha. Thank you for your generous treatment of the Grand General. Now I give the governor over to my youngest son, Brams. In the meantime, the Lubitsch family hereby undertakes to pledge their allegiance to Lord Garrod, King of Fontana."

"That's good. Walk with us as part of the Kingdom of Fontana."

... That's something.

I suppose they thought I was the bad guy who would destroy an absolute clan if they saw a nobleman?

So wasn't it decided that even if the territory and the knights were taken away, it would be enough to survive the house?

Somewhat out-of-heart, but okay.

Thus, against Fontana, the Rubitsch family, an aristocrat, surrendered and pledged allegiance to Garrod.

And then the Fontana army started further operations based at Rubich Castle.
