"What am I doing, that idiot…"

When I heard the news from the west, I held my head.

The messenger receives the same content of things from Poncero and then from Jose... it would not be a false alarm.

My eldest son, Simon, took the liberty of opening the battlefield against the kingdom of Amoros.

"How would you like to?

Lolo speaks out to me worried, but there's nothing to it. The war has already begun.

"It's going to be hard to get the spear together now...... Amoros will come out, but we'll win if we do it"

I put a lot of effort into my eyes and put my temper back in.

Develop a strategy and give instructions at the same time.

"First, let me reward my uncle, who will leave me away. Then you must gather generals in the fortified city of Portu. Tell the Bashraal people to join Simon directly."

When I give instructions to a big mess, Lolo makes them even more detailed and specific and tells the Brotherhood members. Lolo is now the oldest member of the Brotherhood, a position like that of my SS leader, and a substantial leader of the Brotherhood.

"Let the northeastern lords know first." Follow them, prepare for battle. "Count Dalmon and Baron Cocteau may already know, but I'll ask you to do the same."

I'm used to giving directions to the public.

Brotherhood members scattered one after the other, leaving only Rollo.

"I don't know, you seem fine. I thought you'd be angrier."

"Hmm? Sort of. It was short notice, but I can also say that Simon fulfilled his duties as a lord... I can't be praised, but I can't blame him. A child's ass is good for a parent."

I laugh bitterly.

Simon sent out his army in a shepherd's fight, and this is how Simon's troubles make me move because of his monarchy, which says, "If you have to, you can protect him to your parents."

If I throw my ass out here and say, "Wipe your own ass," it will be a matter for other servants and lords to turn their soppos on.

Serve as a subordinate because you can protect me when I say you have to.

Otherwise, who would be better?

I do get angry that Simon started the war on his own, but this could be a good opportunity.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to take Robert the man out to war while I'm still healthy.

"We're putting Robert on the first line. Simon played 12 and Jean played 13 for the first time. You don't have a problem with Robert being 13."

"Um, I don't know if it compares to those people."

Lolo tilts his neck at my words.

Indeed, Robert is a 'normal' boy with a lined physique.

I can't feel the flesh like Simon, nor the fierceness like Jean.

But I want you to wear an escort, but I want you to touch the battlefield and gain experience.

Even if you can't do anything on the battlefield, if you do the numbers, it will be a proven achievement and you can keep your surroundings quiet.

There's no need for the king to be the strongest samurai, just a track record of the servants convincing me that "this would be it".

... yes, at least in the first line, then try to be a general in the small battle while someone assists you...

So, uh, Lolo and I meet each other.

Lolo, who always stood by me, would not be perfect for an adjunct.

"... Lolo, what if I die prematurely? Will you serve Robert?

When I asked Pottori, Lolo thought a little and said, "I refuse."

Lolo is my partner.

In a sense, it is no exaggeration to say that it is closer than family, half-body.

I guess Lolo is already guessing my physical condition is changing, he's been hitting the truth without a lousy deception.

I think it's to keep me from having weird expectations.

"… well, not even from Rollo's point of view in Robert right now"

I sighed deeply.

Lolo is a man who can judge by values close to me. Wouldn't you have a choice if he said "no"?

"I have trouble getting the wrong idea. I'm not going to serve the Lion Cool family just because I'm with Master Barrian... and then I'm going to hide in my wife's home."

"Right, right, right."

I said, "How about Simon?" I nearly swallowed the words.

That should not be said.

…… Parents can't compare their children……… but it's a shame………

I also sighed so loudly... this spare time means so many things.

Everyone said bitterness is good, and the world just doesn't get what it wants.

That is no exception for a king.

………………

Half a month later, the fortified city of Portu.

I received a messenger from Poncero in the hall with the generals and listened to the report.

It's not bad news, it's good news.

Simon, who led the army of Bashraal territory and Baron Gue, is apparently on offense and destroying the army of Count Nantka and surrounding the castle on Boza territory.

Excellent work.

I thought I'd do it, but Simon was a really capable kid.

The generals of Lioncool praise Simon for his victory.

…… happy as a parent, but not properly complicated……

I saw Chirali and Robert, but Robert seems excited about Simon's work. My face is fine.

... you're so easy... well, I can't help it...

Robert was so worried about me that he was innocently pleased with the work of his good brother.

But it's not good for Simon to be overactive.

Simon is a bastard, Robert is a bastard, and normally there can be no reversal.

However, if Simon's talent is jumping through too much, I can imagine someone bending that sequence to take up Simon as a god.

Because we need a strong leader to survive this turmoil.

If you win, you get the money, the honor, the land, the woman.

Conversely, even if poor warriors are leading, they just get beaten up and take possessions away... it's no surprise that some of these things look at Simon's activism and think "Simon deserves a king".

No matter how close you are, I am the one who has to contend with being in charge.

I don't want the kids to feel the same way.

... Should I scold Simon for opening the end of the battle on his own, or should I praise the results of the battle...

I get a headache just thinking about it a lot.

It is difficult to judge this hand.

The relationship between the subordinate and the king becomes an individual relationship if stuck.

It doesn't taste good when Simon has an objection to Robert with one of my hanging words.

... It's really easy to show Robert the power not to say whether or not...

I swallowed a sigh.

Weakness is forbidden in front of everyone.

"Good first... but now don't let the kingdom of Amoros come out"

The air tightened tightly when I put it in my mouth.

Even though decay is noticeable, Amoros is a great enemy.

I can't let my guard down.

"Your Majesty, have you already told the Northeastern lords?

Maurice, the butler, turns his mind and moves the meeting forward.

I think Maurice is starting to look like Albert these days... Maurice will be about 40 years old as well.

The face with scars on the naked eye and the awesome appearance of missing fingers are reminiscent of Albert from previous years.

... Well, it's not that scratchy...

Somehow, looking at Maurice with nostalgia, Maurice coughed up, "Oh hon," and I turned back to me.

"Yeah, I'm sorry...... I gave instructions to the northeastern dukes and Andre to break in from the north via Count Darmon territory. Count Darmon is also approaching 6,000 troops."

Everyone said "whoa" to my words.

Six thousand are great armies.

"Baron Cocteau must be moving to rendezvous with Simon. There are 2,500 of us in Lioncool, 1,500 in Bashraal, 1,000 in Ge and Cocteau... Elwanee's mercenaries are in on it, and it's worth more than 5,000."

This one is also a great army.

So far, I'm not talking about pasture boundaries.

All of a sudden, I was talking about determining the male and female of the Amoros region.

"Together, it's over 10,000..."

"Is that an ally, an uninterrupted number?"

Roger and Pierre raised their voices of admiration.

Others are also nodding and indicating their consent.

"We'll rendezvous with Simon first. I'll give Count Nantka a blood festival."

"I'm Count Balkasik," Lolo followed me when I raised my temper.

It's different from Count Barkasik, but now it's his last name.

It seems that Barkasik became his surname after turning from Mr. Barka, whose territory is Mount Sisik.

This Mount Sisik is a spiritual mountain west of Baron Ge's territory.

They have a famous monastery.

"Balkashik, I remember."

"I usually remember my neighbor's last name."

Lolo jokingly relaxes the air in the field.

Maybe he cares about Robert in his first line.

"Robert, it's my first job. Go out and use it with your alumni and Simon. 'I'm out of Portu, I can't do this until we rendezvous. Don't start the war on your own, fool."

"I understand."

Robert took my joke seriously. I can see you are slightly nervous.

"Dormier, can I ask you to babysit"

When I ask, the new American knight in this war responds reluctantly, "I'll take care of it." You can depend on a garrison such as the ancient soldier.

Dormier left the construction of the Humvee (Cood) River to Doron and seems to have joined us.

Leave it to him, there will be no problem.

Dormier left his seat as soon as he took Robert with him.

I want to expose Robert at least a little bit, and with this amount of use, it's easy.

"All right, let's go! We'll rendezvous with Simon via Bashraal Castle!

Under my decree, the generals will move.

The target is Bona Knights territory, which Simon attacks.

I still can't decide how to speak to Simon.
