82 Stories The King's Death (Add Map)
Amoros Region
Setting accuracy close to the conceptual diagram.
At the end of the year when I returned from my journey, a letter from Rudolph arrives at me.
It was a reward for the king's death.
Jamal de Amoros, 11th king of the kingdom of Amoros.
His reign, known as Good King Jamal, was an unstable one with frequent insurgency in the province, but it was supposedly a moderate one with a preference for governance.
He was 64 years old and 29 years in office. The long reign was plain and unrelated to reform and outposting.
Rudolph's letter expected the king's death to "disrupt the country" and reminded him to "leave the rituals of the king's capital to us and prepare our armaments".
… This is important………
Honestly, it helps that I don't have to go to Wang Du at this time of year.
Succession to the monarchy is an accessory.
Unable to respond quickly to rebellions and other disturbances during funerals and ceremonies such as the reign ceremony of the new king in the Wang capital.
Being able to wait with the military in the territory is a big advantage.
I immediately unleashed an expedition to tell the northeastern lords and my brother, Yug, of the king's death.
Youg would also have received a reward from his father, but he wrote along with "I'd like to cooperate if anything goes wrong".
The Marquis Fourier, to whom Eug stands, is a powerful man in the west.
It would be great if, when something happens in the center, we could pinch it from the east to the west.
... Well, it won't go so well...
In the meantime, it's important to hit whatever hands you can.
Hit a few. If you hit it, you'll make money.
I gathered ministers to announce this news.
………………
Tell the ministers I was the Lord about the king's death, or there will be a great deal of bluffing.
The King's death...... this is a big case.
Firstly, the Lioncool family is under the "kingship", that is, the king's asylum.
The king's death would only result in a weakening of the faction.
And an extremely powerful opposing horse exists in the prince, the son of a son.
King brother Matthias.
Since I was a young man, I have rebelled many times in search of the throne with ambition.
Honestly, I have failed the rebellion many times. I do not appreciate the military and political power of my brother Wang, but his charisma is amazing.
Energetic, ambitious, big body, full of unspeakable strength.
Honestly, alongside a prince like an eggplant who grew up in the shade, it's the humanity that makes me want to pick my brother Wang.
Jamal, the biggest failure of Good King would have been not to kill King's brother.
Even if you wear the "brother killing" stigma or the result of King's brother's supporters flipping the anti-flag, you should have killed King's brother.
Fear of small risks led to major crises.
"It's gonna be a big mess breaking the country"
This hunch had enough impact to upset the ministers.
I can't leave a local nobleman like us alone.
The king's death is such a big incident.
The meeting started in a deliberate and restless atmosphere.
There is no Jean and Andre among the assembled ministers.
It is because the snow prevents the bridesmaid's street from being used during the winter.
By the way, it was the Partholone men who followed Chiara who carried the letter to the Northeastern Hordes.
Only they, the people of the mountains, can cross the winter mountains.
"Ugh, a letter from my brother... don't be rough"
Rodrig, his uncle, sighed loudly, "Hmm.
This hard-won uncle is the chief minister of the prime minister of Lioncool.
I should still be in my 40s but my hair is already bright white and the deep wrinkles (wrinkles) like engraved on my face are the old man's...... sorry for the hard work.
"But you don't have to move aggressively from us. If you make bad moves, you get into a political conflict."
Jose gives his opinion heavily.
Sometimes I get stuck with newcomers and spies, but the competent and serious Jose is one of my petitioners.
"But if anything happens, we will need to be equipped so that we can respond quickly, and we will need to be well prepared to mobilize over the long term."
Poncero gave his opinion on armaments.
Certainly there is a chance of a long successor feud.
One seat, two candidates, you need to stop beating them until they give up.
"Right...... Tanqueray, can we get soldiers out of Basun too?
When I spoke up, Tanqueray said, "In the long run... 100 people don't know. But I'm a poor farmer, so I don't have any weapons," he replied.
"Good, let's lend Formosa and leather armor. Let them use what's right for them."
"Yes, I'll let you have a shield and a stick."
I nodded "good".
Martial artefacts are expensive and not what poor farmers have.
Tanqueray himself, who was actually a poor farmer, was fighting with the salary axe he picked up.
The protective equipment is in the form of a loan, but may be lowered in exchange for loot after the war.
"If you can, let him have the sling. How to use it...... right, let's send Roland Causey. Take turns training them."
"Yes, they are three men and four men of the civilian population, so you will be pleased with your military service. He said he was recognized as a man in public."
Yes, the three and four men of the civilian population are the first to be abandoned in the city if their lives become painful by cultivating farmland like livestock.
The settlers to Baysun are only the second son or less of such a stuffed animal.
There must have also been admiration for the figure of a father or brother who would have farmland and go on a dignified military service as a parent.
... Tanqueray is a poor farmer... I guess you know how they feel...
I nodded, "Okay, please."
Roland Causey is my mother's mistress, but let's have her work outside from time to time.
Formerly a well-armed squire, Causey has plenty of experience and is a great trainer.
I can't get paid just because I'm waving my back.
"What is the situation in the Northeast? Will you be on your side?
"Originally, the northeast seemed to be busy with Viscount Draine just being a king in relation to us, and later becoming a king brother or king in relation to his neighbor. Now all three will be on our side."
I answered Zillow's question.
Originally, with the exception of some that are keen on factional resistance, the majority of the appropriate layers have no "if he is hostile to the Kings, I am the King's Brotherhood" doctrinal claims.
In the meantime, if you look at it from his faction that you don't like and belong to the opposition, you can have a pretext to attack it... which is largely this level of awareness.
At the moment, the Counts of Lyoncourt and the Viscount Dorraine are the Kings.
The Baron Benuro family has a marriage appointment with us, and Baron Albo and I are personal friends.
At least they won't be aggressively hostile.
I set aside for a little while and looked around.
I still have a problem I want to talk to you about.
It is the treatment of my father, Rudolph.
"I want everyone's opinion. Father, Count Rudolph... but I'm going to call him back from the King's Capital before there's any chaos, what do you think?
Yes, there is no denying the possibility that the current Count will be held hostage if he is defenselessly in the King's Capital.
But if Rudolph returns, there will likely be a problem between me and Rudolph that will essentially rule Lioncool.
There is also the possibility of breaking the house if you say so.
It's not a matter of judging him by himself because he's my son.
"My brother... it certainly doesn't taste good to be held hostage."
"But with two masters in the realm... there may be a futile dispute between the Count and his brother-in-law."
Uncle Rodrig and his brother-in-law Pierre speak out about their concerns.
It's still the same thing everyone worries about.
But there is no solution.
We should bring him back, we should not bring him back…… There is a fussy discussion.
The opinion of the faction that slightly brings them back seems to prevail.
"Hey, what do you think of Lolo?
I asked Lolo, leaning in like my shadow.
Lolo doesn't really participate in these discussions... he doesn't want to, or seems to think about himself as a slave.
Everyone here knows how Lolo works, and there's no need to hesitate, but it looks like something like his own kejime.
"It's easy."
Lolo speaks sarcastically.
Everyone's gaze concentrated on Lolo in so many ways.
"You just have to ask someone who understands what you don't know. I don't know anything about the Count. I was wondering if I could ask your mother."
"Ugh," I breathed.
Lolo's opinion is just the calm thing to say about Lolo... but one problem.
… Ask your mother about your father!?
This is it.
Lucienne hates her husband, Rudolph, and it is terribly courageous to raise Rudolph's subject in front of her.
"Am I listening?
"Am I listening?
Lolo smiled bitterly at my question and returned it with doubt.
... That's right... there's no way you can ask anything but me...
"…… wait a minute, because I'm going to ask"
I left everyone behind and walked out of the hall to Lucienne's room.
………………
"I don't know."
Lucienne answers my question with no expression.
... I don't care if you ask your mother about your father...
I was discouraged and convinced that I had no choice but to comfort myself.
But the words that Lucienne went on to say were unexpected things.
"He wasn't expelled, he left himself. He only knows if he's willing to go home."
"Ah, well."
I lost my scales from my eyes.
This wasn't about bringing him back or anything.
"Write to me."
"Yes, I will"
I lowered my head honestly.
It was a mistake from the beginning.
Soon I'm going to be great and in front of everyone like, "What are you going to do with my dad?"... I'm embarrassed about something.
"What's going on?
"No, that's my mother."
I thought I'd give Lucienne a hug, but I felt bad for Courcy and stopped it.
Lucienne, who was perfect for my son, me and his great-grandson, Robert, but I don't think it has anything to do with Causey lately.
... Well, my mother is fine...
I left Lucienne in a complicated mood.
Quickly, I wrote about three letters of the same content to Rudolph, each of whom I had to deliver to another subordinate.
This adds up to the possibility that letters will be lost in the midst of confusion.
In immature amoros of communications, it is common to send multiple important letters.
The assembled ministers were also informed that Rudolph would be sent a letter confirming their intentions, and if they were to return, Rudolph and I decided to make arrangements that would not disrupt the order system.
Most of them will support me, but they are still deeply popular with the Lioncool eagle, who was a constant winner.
It would be an inappropriate part.
There's not much we can do to wait in Lioncool territory this time.
Keep in touch with the northeastern lords and wait to touch them as they advance their armaments… to this extent.
The king is dead.
Leave my brother Wang.
I remember my days in King's Capital 10 years ago and I felt complicated.
... Yes, Rona, are you okay?
I checked with Lolo and wrote to Toma, Rona's husband, "alienate him to Lioncool with his family before Wang Du was caught up in the war".
Beyond being a question of inheritance of the kingdom, we can anticipate battles in the vicinity of the king's capital, and the king's capital may be attacked if the king's brother prevails.
In that case, Toma, with his fortune, would be in danger.
He was worried about Lolo, too, and he was happy with my offer.
This feud cannot be much smaller and irrelevant if it is one that lives in Amoros.
To the kingdom of Amoros, a great turn of time was about to come.
