Tadashi Tanaka (41) Birth of a Kingdom – ‘Medieval Europe Is Too Harsh!’

"Take unexpected unconsciousness, and it's not up to you"

"It annoys His Majesty's hand..."

In front of me, Albert and Ge knelt down and apologized to me.

They were manipulated by an inferior number of enemies and allowed an attack on their headquarters, the Lioncool army.

This is an inexcusable lapse.

Now the generals are gathered at the fort of Campbell Castle, where they have fallen, in the middle of a military debate.

Praise those who worked well in front of everyone, scold those who failed, this is not important.

But Albert in the first place didn't need excessive reprimand, and I didn't intend to punish him.

"Yeah, maybe he was caught off guard."

When I laughed bitterly, the old minister of the Viscount of Benullo interrupted me, "Unfortunately, I am unconscious".

I suppose you'll say you've sheltered Albert from the first battle.

"Keep it down! It's not a curtain for you!!

But Albert didn't allow it, scolding the old minister.

The old minister of Benuro is only a jury (servant of a servant). It is indeed disrespectful to speak out to the interaction between me and the dukes.

If Albert doesn't scold the old minister, I will punish him. This is an occasion where the Benuro family may lose their minister in vain (though they won't). Albert protected his men by scolding the old minister.

Young. It's not something he can do inside scolding an old minister who shelters himself.

"The minister protects the master, and the master protects the minister. A fine deed."

I admired Albert's splendid attitude and laughed nicely.

"I heard Albert was in the first place, but it was a fine fight. The last breakthrough was that Ramire de Cocteau was just even better. Fighting a mighty enemy is a knight's honor, and there is nothing to be ashamed of."

Albert breathed "ho" at the words, and the old minister was bent over and hid his face.

Maybe there was a meeting between them in a little while, but that's not something I care about.

"Rabbits and horns, the fort fell by everyone's work… I was particularly impressed by the brilliance of Count Draine's retreat, you were right to leave the counts ahead"

Count Draine is my mother's nephew, my elderly cousin, and an ancient ally with the Lioncool family.

Not only the Count, but also Viscount Alboro and Viscount Benuro, allies since before becoming kings, are reluctant, and the tone becomes polite.

After generations, it would be a clear subordination, but now it is still close to a subordinate alliance. It's not a good time to treat people differently.

"I am afraid," the Earl responded calmly when I praised him.

It's really Dundee.

"But, Your Majesty, the earliest Castle of Campbell is a dead body. You can take it down here all at once, and if you turn to the water, you'll accept surrender."

Count Draine turned his gaze only calmly towards Castle Campbell.

With a truly aristocratic smart figure, it feels like 'Count (Le Conto)'.

"Hmmm, it's easy to say clarity and attack it down...... but will complete annihilation make later rule harder, or will a mean baron bow his head to me so far?

It is actually possible to control it by force.

However, if the people turn to soppo like the old Bashraal territory, the tax cannot be collected successfully and the profits are not suitable.

In fact, apart from the cost of the expedition, the management of Bashraar this year is a ton...... somewhat in deficit.

It will black in the future, but I do not want to see any more deficit divisions at this time.

"Then how about lightening the conditions for surrender and promoting surrender? Isn't it OK for the Lord to take turns and integrate into the Kingdom of Lioncool, the territory to be partially conceded? What is the Count's opinion………"

"Right, the territory is the city of Jumel… there, and is it reasonable to assign a few castles"

Viscount Albor and Count Dorraine have somehow summed up their opinions, but these two are experienced politicians.

It would be smarter to adopt their opinions than I would pinch my mouth.

I am confident in the field of civil affairs, but the diplomatic rush of this hand is a pain in the ass and I hate it.

Diplomacy is the specialty of Viscount Benuro, Albert's grandfather, but unfortunately he is ill for old age and has not joined this battle, and the Viscount's army is led by his great-grandson Albert.

If you're well, I just want you to get to the Foreign Minister's position, but there's nothing you can do about being sick.

60s in this amoros is long enough. I want you to take care of it.

"... how about that, Your Majesty?"

Count Dorraine and Viscount Albor had a few opinions, but they seemed quite wrapped up.

Conditions appear to have been added, such as hostage submission, but it is appropriate and good because there is also a process of negotiation around here.

The point is, all you have to do is put Baron Cocteau under control.

"I'll take care of the details. The messenger..."

I thought about it here.

... Honestly, anyone is good...

I looked left and right, and I said, "Who wants to do it!" He raised his voice.

But it's unresponsive.

Everybody says, "Huh?" It hardens with a look like that.

Apparently it didn't convey its intentions.

The place quieted down with Sin.

"No, I heard someone wanting to be a messenger..."

"I know that, but I'm a messenger of peace, and I don't have anyone who wants to do it." Seriously, if you don't do one thing, the war won't be over. "

Jean pissed me off for some reason.

I don't care, but I don't think I just want this guy to tell me. I'm not sure what it is, but my heart is hurt.

"I'm serious. It's good for people who want to do it."

"Obviously, you were right. I know you didn't hear what I just said on the way."

Me and Jean are going to meet up with the rabbit and say, "Then you do it!" "Oh, don't do it! It feels like" the messenger decides on Jean.

I'm worried this guy will have a messenger, but it's a buying word for the selling word.

My real brother Maurice is going to accompany me as an assistant... the point is, he's your guide.

She was harassed by the fight between me and Jean around her, but it was also childhood friendliness that made her uncomfortable.

Jean is also a relative and a duke. It's a reciprocal relationship with me in a way.

"Heh, I should work as an ambassador for a thug like you! If I could, I'd watch you naked!!

"Barca, Barca, definitely do it!! If you're lying, you can tell your mother!

Jean headed with Maurice to a castle on the mountain with a grade school level vice.

"Dear Barrian... I shouldn't say too weird things"

"Yes, Jean is very clever."

Andre and Lolo call out worryingly, but I turned to Soppo.

In my heart, I think it might suck, but I can't pull in the words I said.

I want it to go well, but I don't want it to go well... I looked up at the mountain in a complicated way.

………………

Half a day later

Jean and Maurice returned with Baron Cocteau's two sons with the Baron's writ.

"Mm... are you back?"

"Hey, read it properly."

When Jean handed me the letter without hesitation, she looked niggardly.

…… Shit, did you do well……… which……

I'll check Baron Cocteau's paperwork. The letter almost stated that it would accept this request.

1, Baron Cocteau family vows allegiance to the kingdom of Lioncool

2, the current Baron is retired and not in position again

3. The current Barons will be held hostage and will spend the rest of their lives in Lioncool. that the treatment is what the Baron deserves

4, the city of Jumel, as well as two castles on the border with the territory of Baron Gue to the Kingdom of Lyoncourt

5, The Kingdom of Lioncool will henceforth protect the Baron Cocteau family

6, the current Lord will not pledge allegiance to King Lioncool in the future and will not apologize to Baron Ge

The contents are as follows.

... well, that's funny...

The sixth is really interesting.

Jean seems to have successfully wrapped up the negotiations by defending Baron Cocteau's pride.

I am also convinced why my sons appeared, not Baron Cocteau himself.

I think I saw Jean's unexpected taste, and I was impressed.

"Okay, enough… which of those sons will be the next baron?

I wrapped my letter around it and gave it to Rollo, who would refrain from doing so.

There are two sons of the baron that Jean brought. There may be no joint governance... but in this case, it will be different.

Perhaps one of them is a hostage.

"Yes, it's me."

The elderly and thoughtful young man move forward, kneeling.

"Yeah, okay. I'll take your brother as my minister, not as a hostage. Let's officially do the curry later, set up a separate house but good."

My brothers rejoiced at my words and thanked me.

These are very generous procedures for surrender.

They will be lords under the Lioncool umbrella… just enough to make you think they've been "tender" than treated weirdly and harshly.

Incidentally, the assigned castle gave Pierre-kun's Punier and Belli families one at a time.

Because they have extremely few territories as a baron... If they are also barons, they also have a lot of different formal expenses, and they wanted to increase them, so they are just fine.

The new territory will be an enclave, but Bashrar and Koktor will be close by and anything will happen if the streets are maintained.

These procedures are also intended to distance the territory of the misguided Ge and Cocteau.

A buffer zone was set up at the boundary to prevent the territory from coming into contact.

If I can rub any more cocktails than I did here, I won't need moxibustion.

Call it in then. It's my mace and it's gotun.

War between subordinates is basically a rule of non-intervention.

Without extra circumstances, the monarch can only mediate in peace... and if he intervenes weirdly, he loses his credibility with his men by being taken as "dependent."

If unfriendly subordinates are in contact with each other's territory, this will not result in a busy outcome.

This place can only be pulled apart.

... but I guess we have to regulate that area as well...

I felt the need to develop new laws.

Soldiers don't gather when their men say they shouldn't be at war.

It would be better to have a mechanism to reduce rubbing.

And the pattern of the retired Baron Cocteau… I decided to keep this in the territory of Jean, who was close to the Baron.

Jean and the Baron apparently had an intentional relationship and became friends. Then I decided it would be better if I left it with Jean.

The baron would also be more comfortable with the original of the willing opponent, and the idea of escape would diminish if he were comfortable.

... Well, the result of the escape will be returned to my sons... first they will run away...

I nodded and prepared the feast of peacemaking.

In that seat the Baron Cocteau family once again made a pledge of allegiance to the Kingdom of Lioncool, and the war ended.

With that banquet seat, I want you to imagine if I was naked.
