Sweet Reincarnation
Episode 282 Winter Socials
The golden moon is also popular in winter. Even in the kingdom of God, which has relatively high average temperatures in the southern continent, temperatures drop during the cold season. In the midst of the cold wind, people gather indoors in search of warmth. It's like an instinct to survive without questioning your lowliness.
This year is also the year of Yau. Kim Yangyue also had six days more than usual, but it was also the most sociable month.
Especially in Wang Dynasty, there are many social events planned, mainly for court nobles, while warming up in the mansion.
Gather people together for something like a tea party, a dinner party, a celebration party, a friendly meeting, a music viewing, a theatrical event, and more.
Casserole-Mil-Morterne is also known for various socializations, both as a nobleman and as a soldier holding a position in the Central Army. Of course, many invitations are intended, and as a casserole, it is true that I want to refuse from one end, but even so, there are socializations that can't be removed from being noble.
Today was one of the most important meetings of the warlords and factions of the year.
"Celebrate our unity and prosperity!!
A get-together held at the residence of the Duke of Cadrecek in King's Landing. It is only natural that I took the head of a toast to the contemporary Duke of Cadrecek. In a prestigious, crowded toast greeting, the cup was lifted gently in harmony with the toast. Once the toast is over, it will be the start of the party.
Before the meeting began, the way people gathered was a small group of people by their own accord. When you find someone you know, do you feel comfortable talking and reporting on each other's recent developments? It may be close to what we call a friend relationship. There is a relationship between comrades, just a gathering of mainstream warlords and factions. It was a warm atmosphere in which I called out to my friends on the battlefield I had seen for a long time and slapped them lightly, wondering if they were still alive.
However, once the meeting begins, important work begins as a nobleman. When the toast is over, the first thing to do is greet the important person.
There were three first crowded places at this meeting.
One is where the current Duke and Duke of Cadrecek live.
After the toast, factions gather to speak first. In other words, it is a scene where a child goes to perform his/her duties as a stepchild to his/her parent. If you do not attend the meeting and greet the Duke, there will be various disadvantages, and you will greet the Duke in a polite and sequential manner.
It is a sight that can be seen anywhere when a meeting is held, and it is extremely basic. In some cases, the organizers greet the participants, but if there is a clear vertical relationship, the organizers will look forward to greeting the participants.
It is also important to look at the faces of the people who participated in the event as soon as they have finished greeting the organizers.
The other is where the former Duke of Kadrecek and the Duke's brother-in-law and wife are.
Participating as family members of the Duke, they do not need to go out to greet the contemporary Duke. For that reason, I laugh a little away from the organizer.
An old man and his grandparents who were usually in the territory as the ancestral dukes. If greeting the current Duke is for the sake of duty and profit, it is the stewardship and insurance that greets the previous and future generations.
Alternatively, people in a standing position who have been connected to the Duke's house for some time now, and who are close to their family, do not have to contend with the past to greet the present day. So I say hello to the former Duke in the sense of warming up the old relationship, or I say hello to the next generation looking ahead.
In a sense, it is the people gathered here who are the Duke's liver. These are people you can't overlook, and they need to be checked basically.
And one more thing.
This is where the “Vicomte” Morteln and his wife are staying until recently, when they say there are no days left to gossip.
As an army house, it is an emerging house, but speaking of the Morteln family, there are rare heroes for two generations in a row. Now it is arguably the most powerful house in the kingdom of God. Those who come here to greet are moved by their intentions and fears.
The intended part is easy to understand. We are approaching the Morteln family, which is gaining momentum in the ascending air currents, and we are about to benefit from the following winds. With enough gold to roar, territory expands after expansion. It is the current Mortel territory that building materials and consumables can be sold as long as they are available. There is always a shortage of talent even if you look at the whole house, and you can be generously rewarded no matter what you do to help. If we can't sell ourselves here, we will be incompetent.
So what is the part of fear? That means the fear of turning the enemy around.
Speaking of the Morteurs, less than thirty years have passed since Casserole started his house. However, there is no time to enumerate the many achievements they have made.
There are Pace who defeated the dragon and Sergeant Shiz, who is said to have a vision of the future, headed by Casserole, who is said to be a small elite and comparable to a single army. There is also a real example of a house that has been crushed by a bad mood and turned into an enemy.
That's why many nobles try to cheer the Morteurs up.
Recently, I had just begun to count from the baron to the viceroy, and the excuse for the celebration was sufficient. When I open my mouth, I see the words of congratulation, and the faces, and I smile all together, and all this is the same as when I pushed the judgment.
The people gathered here are sensitive to looking at the machine, and they have good guidelines for looking ahead, so it will be necessary to check the facial expressions.
"It's popular among people. I'd love to say hello."
A man called out to Casserole as the furious greeting offensive fell into a state of well-being.
Count Ebert-Ecker-Mill-Vezen. Casserole is a person who can be called a colleague of the military. Among the militant factions, it is a heavy town that is mainly engaged in internal work and holds the post of staff officer.
The brain labor manager is entrusted with a quarrel with the court nobles of the internal affairs system who are reluctant to pay for something, and a curse against the foreign affairs nobles who are pulling their feet for their own affairs.
Speaking of which, he is one of the few intellectuals in the military faction with an extremely high percentage of brains to try to solve by force, and is also a key figure called the Kadrecek Duke's kaiser.
Of course, we can lead the army to fight with strength, but more than that, the Duke's assistant who commands the army is the Kadrecek Duke of Gachigachi, who publicly declares his work.
"This is Vicomte Vezen. Your Excellency, it's up to you."
Casserole greets her with her hands on her chest.
Although my colleagues were predecessors of the Count of Vezen, it is natural to greet them first from Casserole.
A common-sense exchange of nobility in exchange for gratitude.
"No, no, it would be rude to sit in the last seat of the Central Army without even greeting Sir Morteln, the central army's main town."
"In the army, I'm new. I should have gone out to greet Lord Vezen, the central army chief of staff. I beg your pardon for your rudeness."
"In view of the popularity from earlier, it can't be helped. Never mind."
"My heart hurts."
Casserole, surrounded by the great towns who were the lords of the warlords and factions. Among them is the Countess, and it is impossible to go greeting the Vicomte of Vezen without leaving his sights unattended. Of course, the Vicomte de Vezen understands that it is physically impossible, so I do not intend to make it difficult for him not to come to greet me.
Casserole apologized in a formal way, just creating a form of respect for her predecessor's colleagues. Social communicating with each other starts a social conversation as usual.
"I wonder how it is at work. The other day, during the Great Dragon riots, there was an army."
"Recently, it's just a training pickle. I'm old, and it's tough to hang out with young people."
It was the strengthening of the central army and the restructuring of the local army that the former Duke of Kadrecek left as a last resort.
After more than 20 years since the war, the role of the national army has also changed. In the past, the National Army was a shining stone against local aristocracy, but its role was also diminished from the stability of the reign, and it was reorganized into a system that made the Central Army more generous.
This was supposed to provide more flexible and powerful military action, but one day, new departments suddenly gathered people they didn't know, and they couldn't deliver what they wanted right away. It was a reorganization that gave rise to many clashes politically.
The new generation of the Duke of Cadrecek had to do it first by strengthening the central army. It was to prove that the sentiments of the ancestors were correct.
Casserole leads the second battalion, with the Kadrecek family's rightful son as captain in the first battalion of the Central Army, all for the sake of the Central Army's elitism. Casserol has a big role to play in this.
The heroes of the war need to help the still immature First Battalion Captain and create a more practical organization.
Every day, in order to create the best among the best, we do a hard schedule of training in one, training in two, and special training in five, without 34.
Training after gathering a selection of knights. Casserole, who spearheads the beliefs, does the same training while overseeing it, so that's a big deal. Because of this, one of the complainants also spills.
"Isn't Lord Morteln still young?"
"Hahaha, I'm also glad you said that, but there are also grandchildren. It is a very young year. I can't help it anymore."
It used to be raging without fear, but such casseroles already have children in their daughters. In this world, where life expectancy is short compared to modern times, the grandpa generation is splendid.
It's time to start moving with a serious view to generational change.
"I think you are modest, but I feel anxious because you are as weak as an undefeated hero. Lord Morteln is an indispensable pillar for us."
"Let's say that Count Vezen is more important than I am."
Viscount Vezen looked a little weak at Casserole for his age. The restructuring of the National Army is also about to be completed, and I think it is difficult for one of the main entrepreneurial powers to be weak while the momentum is rising that the leap forward of the warlords and factions will begin.
Casserole told Countess Vezen that you were important.
"Huh? I'm glad you said that, but I'm behind it."
"No, that's who I am, after all, capable of fighting. Every day struggling with unfamiliar management tasks. In contrast, Viscount Vezen waves his spicy arms under the Duke, staring at everything in the central army. I feel like I'm losing my mind."
When you start running a large organization, you can see the hard work and importance behind it.
What a precious thing about people who can make troublesome adjustments and make external negotiations.
It is well understood that the Duke will reuse Vicomte Vezen. Casserole compliments a younger colleague.
"Smoothie, smoothie. I envy the power of a magical lord."
"Magic is a tool after all. If you use it too much, it will be harmful."
Magic is poison and medicine depending on how you use it. Because I am a person who has used magic, I speak with a sense of reality.
"Then the Morteins are good at magic. I've heard a lot of rumors."
"I'm afraid to hear any rumors."
"There are no more days to hear that. Wherever you go, there's been a lot of rumor about the Morteins these days."
"I'm sorry."
Until recently, social rumors were scattered. For example, it was said to be a surrogate war between the northern and western factions, about a struggle over the next king's princess, about one of the four uncles, Uncle Rathesh, finally getting married and giving birth to a child, or about a farm manuscript being chased away from his post by illegitimate wealth accumulation. The aristocrats were listening to what might concern them, focusing on what was interesting and gathering rumors.
However, the last few months in particular have been full of rumors about the Morteln family. It would mean that the Morteurs cannot be ignored economically, politically or militarily.
"Is it still a gift of Lord Morteln's virtue?"
"No, no, my power is insignificant. My son is a lot softer these days, so I'm desperate for a butt plug."
Casserole shrugged her shoulders.
It's okay for the Mortels to sing a song about Ryusei, but if that's something they don't even know about, let's have a bitter smile.
"Speaking of which, you can't have your son today."
Well, that's what Count Vezen asks about Pace.
It was obvious that this was the real issue, even though it was just like that.
"I don't know what I would do if I were in King's Landing, so I put it in the territory."
You still wanted to hear about Pace. Count Vezen thought for a while when he heard Pace was in the realm.
Once again, he smiled at Casserole and began to praise Pace for what had come to mind.
"A trusted son enriches the territory. I envy you."
You've heard rumors of excellence, or have you seen him in a long time? Casserole responds to Viscount Vezen's blatant conversation without changing his complexion.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to be a little more gentle."
"Isn't that a luxury story? Many people in the world mourn the inability of children, but Lord Morteln mourns his son for being too capable."
"Sure, it could be a luxury story."
It is obvious that it is more luxurious to lament competence than to worry about a child's incompetence.
Casserole once again laughs bitterly at the pointing out of Vicomte Vezen.
It would have been good if it had been normal anyway. It's a bitter laugh at the fact that, for some reason, I grew up as a fragile son.
"I hope this year is calm."
"I really... really think so."
Casserole's words had a strangely heavy sense of reality.
