At that time, Alond was appealing to the senators to make peace in the capital of Barberal.

Next to Arundo, Uzuna, the daughter of the chief of the tribe he incorporates, is silent with a steep face.

A step back from the two of them, Marie's mother, Listil, was standing there with an anxious look on her face.

Alondo introduced Uzuna earlier and explained that Listil was a squire.

“The Tribal Alliance doesn't want any more fighting. They want a safe place, not a place to kill.”

"...... Underboss Arndt. No, you're no longer an adjutant."

Kaylen, who was sitting on her arm, spoke to Arndt.

Kaylen met Alond only now, when she was introduced to the late Voras.

”You betrayed us and turned us into savage minions...”

“That's a little different. I work for Arcadia."

Alond smiles with a lump.

“I have moved so far that my country may repel your invasion. That is why we launched an offensive against the Tribal Alliance. But I don't want your ruin."

"That's different from the barbarians' common sense, isn't it?" You're not going to let this veral fall and get the land, the people, the buildings, everything? ”

"There are certainly those who are so eager." However, some people have rational thoughts. I'm headed by Master Gerdon, who is protecting me. "

“Reasonable, isn't it? Breaking the peace agreement and launching a massive offensive that will ravage a number of cities with its inhabitants.”

“We know that this happened in the city east of Chubu. However, I swear to you, in the area under the control of my lord Gerdon, I do not imitate such a thing.”

East of Central? The retreat of the defense forces tells us that several villages have been burned down in the north of the city.

One of the councillors interrupts the story of Kaylen and the others.

"That's why the people outside of Lord Gerdon's control did it on their own..."

Listening to Arondo, Uzuna looked over at the senators in silence.

Their gaze is hostile and not very receptive to Arondo's story.

Besides, Uzuna thinks.

- Are you sure you're here to talk about this, Alondo?

The man she knows, Alond, will not act until she is absolutely certain that she will succeed.

Uzbekistan thinks that it is a person who prepares carefully and acts after preparing another plan if it fails.

When I rolled over to myself, I made a gamble that I was going to be killed, but I still had enough information to convince Geldon.

But even though his expression now seems to have plenty of room, what he's doing is completely out of line.

It doesn't seem strange to be pushed through a proposal and killed as a renegade, if you think you have any information to evade it.

Uzuna had no idea what he was thinking.

“Consul Kylen, I don't mean to tease you.”

Avery spoke softly to Kaylen, who was staring at Alond.

"Regardless of the conditions, peace is worth considering. In fact, we are being beaten by them."

"Consul Avery, please don't say anything out of the way." They're telling me to give up the land that my ancestors bled to get. ”

"That's true, but fighting like this is too damaging for us." Isn't it handmade around here? "

"What are you talking about!" I'll do whatever I want, and I'll stay like this-- "

Kaylen and Aver start arguing.

At the same time, the senators began to make a fuss.

Of course, this is what Kaylen and the senators are doing on purpose.

Since the opinions are broken, I cannot accept the demands of the barbarians completely, and I am preparing to propose to explore the landing site that both sides agree with.

The Balvelles are not willing to surrender their territory and make peace, so the goal is to buy them as much time as possible.

If the main force in Mudia returns and the Allies are supported, we will not be defeated.

"Hey, Habel-sama."

Yes.

Leaze, who was watching it at the window, spoke to Havel.

Haber, staring at Alond with a steep expression, turned to Leaze.

Isn't there something wrong with you, Alond?

Weird?

"That suggestion sounds like a fluke." It looks like you just jumped in without thinking. ”

As Leaze said, Haber's face turned strange.

"Really? It looks like a very normal negotiation."

"Um......"

Leaze looked at Haber with a dazed look on her face.

"Oh, please don't look at me like that." I really don't know. "

"I mean, if we weren't here, it would be easy to push such a proposal for peace, and instead of replying, it would send the neck back, right?"

"Is that so?" Even if you're an emissary, you can't do that... "

“Think about the situation. Alond betrayed Barber and fled into Barbarian territory, breaking the peace accords and launching an all-out offensive. Thinking normally, it's impossible for the owner to appear and be safe, isn't it?"

"But the lawmakers still think that if you execute your brother, the battle will continue without negotiation." Even if we weren't there, we would still be using it to buy time, as we are doing now. ”

"Even though the capital that boasts this iron wall is alive and well?" I don't think I would think that Barber would imitate such a weakness if I were Alondo. ”

"Oh, is that so... hmmm"

"I know what you're thinking."

As Leaze and Havel whispered, Kaylen called out to the senators.

The congressmen who had been making a scene until then were instantly silent.

“The status quo, and indeed any further fighting, will be detrimental to both sides. But their demands have gone too far.”

"Yes, I can't accept the transfer of the northern region." Even if we conclude a peace, let's demand that the barbarians ease the conditions once again. "

Aver follows Kaylen.

“Yes. Why don't you come back and work out the terms?”

Senators say “no objection” to Aver's comments.

Kaylen nodded and turned to Alond.

“You're right to listen. Are you sure about that?"

"I understand." For the record, I have one favor to ask you. "

What?

"My name is Listil, and I'd like to hand her over to Master Leaze, who is there."

Alond turns to Leaze.

Uzuna, who was next to him, looked at him with surprise.

Lady Leaze, it's been a long time.

"... yes, it's been over a year."

Alond smiles at Leaze with a steep expression.

Lady Leaze, could you take her home with you?

"I don't mind..."

Leaze turns to Kylen.

When Kaylen noticed it, she spread her hands like, "Do as you please."

Besides, they can't defy Leaze.

Alond smiled relievedly and pulled Listil into her arms.

"Until now, you've had a hard time." Tell Marie I apologize for what happened. "

"Lady Arondo..."

When you get back over there, please ask Master Nelson to nominate me and set up a seat for the peace talks.

The rest of the words were only heard by her, and Allondo said, moving away from Listil.

"...... Now, I'll take you home." Miss Listil, come here. "

Leaze said, and Listil turned her anxious face toward Alond.

Alond smiles at her like that.

"Come on, let's go."

Yes, yes.

Alund pushed her back, and Listir moved under Leaze.

However, after a few steps, he turned back to Alound.

From his eyes, his tears faded.

Alondo-sama, I'll never forget this kindness for the rest of my life.

Arrondo smiles bitterly at Listil, who is crushing her face with tears.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Alond speaks kindly to Listil.

Uzuna and Kaylen, who don't know the circumstances, are puzzled by what they're talking about.

"I'm really sorry about Marie. I've always regretted doing something stupid."

“No, no! It's only natural in Alondo's position!”

"No, no matter what I think, it's my fault." I've really done bad things to you and to Marie. "

"Lady Arondo..."

“Now go. We've been separated, and we're going to live happily ever after.”

"...... I'm cumming"

Lister nodded and walked under Leaze again.

The havel, who was watching the two exchanges, had a stunned face.

"... what the hell is going on?"

"I'm not sure... but I'm glad Marie can see her mother again."

Underneath Havel and Leaze as they spoke, Listil came up the stairs.

Listir raised his face to thank Leaze deeply and smiled loudly at Haber.

"Master Habel, it's been a long time."

"Ah. I can't believe I'm seeing you here again... I didn't know you were with your brother."

"Yes. After leaving the mansion, I..."

Listil tells Havel how it happened.

After Haber's father, Nore, sold him out because he was sick, he worked for a gregorian merchant.

A little over a year ago, I met Alond "by chance" in the streets, and he bought himself out of a dealer.

He explained to me that Nord's treason could endanger not only Alond, but also Listil, who used to serve Nord.

He asked me to help him survive, return the stigma, and save his country, and I was taken by boat to Barber.

Then he betrayed Barber and went under the barbarians, telling them that he had followed him as his squire to this day.

“Alondo is a true loyal servant who risked his life for Arcadia. Dear Leaze, thank you for your generosity."

"I understand the situation." After returning to Arcadia, please tell your father the story again. I'll keep my mouth shut, too. "

Yes!

Listil smiled happily at Leaze's words.

And Leaze turned to Kylen.

“Consul Kylen. Before we return him, we will have a place to speak for ourselves. Let me use the rooftop here."

Got it.

Kaylen nodded and instructed the guard to go under Arondo.

I don't want to show you the inside of the building, but I want you to put on the cloth bag you were wearing when you came.

"Master Havel, please wait here with her." I'll be back in a minute. "

"Hah. But I'd better come with you..."

"It would be troublesome if you get caught in a fight. Please wait here quietly.”

Haber nodded as she was told it was a good fit for Leaze.

"Hey, Alond!"

As Leaze began to descend the stairs, Uzuna called out to Alond, who was about to be covered with a cloth bag.

A soldier with a cloth bag stops his hand.

"You're not going to betray us!?" Don't forget that your grandfathers are still there!? "

Uzuna says in a hurry.

Arndt smiled at her like that.

"I won't do that." It's okay, just trust me and wait. "

"... it's true? If it's a lie, I'll kill you."

"Yeah. And then they're gonna kill me honestly."

That's right, at that time...

“I'm just kidding. It's okay, I'm not betraying you.”

"... okay, don't take too long."

Alund nodded reluctantly.

At the end of the conversation, a soldier put a cloth bag on Arondo.

---... you're totally inundated.

Leaze was admiring the fact that she was defeating the chief's daughter, and she headed under Arondo.
