"... uh"

I can't block my open mouth.

This is a small area of about sixty people.

Three hundred for a thousand?

No.

"As for this one, we're not going to ask you to be that strong either."

"I don't quite understand, though."

"These were going to let you leave tomorrow when you came."

Heh.

"Three hundred soldiers are particularly young among the common soldiers and knights. You know why."

Let the promising young man escape before he is attacked. I guess that means.

There will be an orientation of hypocrisy, but it's not bad.

As a matter of fact, they are the most inexperienced and unusable of soldiers.

Three hundred people, mostly under twenty, would be like us.

Perhaps when I looked under twenty, I chose three hundred people, not the best young ones.

Even at the Knightly Academy in Kirchina, the tie of twenty year old graduation should be alive, but now that the reformation is surrounded, there is no graduation or shit.

I don't know the measures for provisional graduation or anything like that, but I should have been trained somewhat.

Until a few months ago, they were cavalry students, which would mean.

"And the three hundred of them soldiers have no such thing as the inheritance of a house"

If you're in as good a position as that, you're letting the general get away with it himself, and you're letting him fight.

"Thousands of people have a similar position. The age group goes up slightly, but this one too... is supposed to stay for old people who can't walk on their own"

Will you be in your childhood to your thirties or forties?

If the age group goes up and adults are included, will they listen to the army of kids?

Probably not trusting you under the circumstances.

Is the ratio of the number of people 3: 10?

No, if you add that the civilian population has half a woman, you wouldn't mind as a 3: 5 across-the-board.

Given that the knights are trained and accustomed to handling weapons, 3: 5 is an overwhelming advantage.

There seems to be no danger of rioting or anything like that.

No, with a storm (...) movement (...) (...) negative (...) keru (...) danger (...) insurance (...), or?

"Not so much supplies... but horses, people's food?

"I can have enough of that one. The castle has enough reserves to withstand a caged castle for a year. There's nothing wrong with spitting it out."

Well, as the number of people decreases, so does the castle's food support.

"No matter how much, it doesn't make sense without the means to carry it. If you let people carry you, even a slow walk, like a turtle, will be the speed of a Namekuji."

"Horses and cars, we're gonna get the most out of this."

Or maybe you don't need it because neither horses nor cars will be used in cage battles.

Well, horses can be food, but if you want to use them for that purpose, I'll do it for you.

"I see... So what makes you think its three hundred soldiers are short?

From what I've just heard, there's no lethal problem in it, no matter how many problems there are.

Leaving us alone, I mean, even if we're not involved, wouldn't we normally succeed?

"One thing is, there's no commander. Anyway, I pulled only young men from a fragmented unit, a unit that didn't even train together. If you hadn't come, you would have had to pull an experienced commander from the right unit, but of course that unit would need to be restructured in the absence of a commander. Or break it down and the crew will be dispersed. I don't really want to do that."

Well, I guess I did.

But the neighborhood doesn't matter if you give up one unit.

If I don't, I guess I will.

I don't even think it's a big burden.

"The problem is that they don't have any experience with these kinds of protection missions, the people they just collected yesterday. You know what that means."

The team is made up of even more selected personnel from top performers, but they trained together in the week before they left.

Without it, we wouldn't have been able to act at least in alignment.

In a state where the soldiers don't even remember the commander's face, there's no way the command to fight for his life works well, and the commander can't figure out how far the soldiers will endure the operation.

Those 300 people are the people of the UAE who are not connected through such training.

"You are on a mission once when you come here. In other words, the age group will be the same but there will be from thirty experienced people. I believe that instruction is better than sending out one skilled soldier. Of course, we don't have room for thirty experienced people."

I see.

Well, I don't know what to say.

No, I don't know.

On second thought, this is a bunch of kids, and I'm probably hoping to build a relationship like a senior junior in a gymnastics club, but I don't know if that'll make it.

... but you don't even need me to be a jerk.

It won't matter to these guys.

I don't care if you say 300 soldiers to a thousand people or something, if it comes from these guys, it's just exiting.

It is unlikely that we will be able to see it again, and it is unlikely that a slight increase or decrease in its safety will be of such serious interest.

I know you're making these proposals because of your sense of duty as a ruler or because you feel the need to make such an effort, but the extreme story, even if you wipe out a thousand and three hundred people as soon as they leave the castle, it's the same thing that wouldn't have happened if you hadn't exposed it to the castle soldiers in Reformation.

Maybe my daughter's safety should be a hundred times more important than that, and that's why I put my daughter's topic first.

To be honest, I don't think it's a bad idea for me to abandon the castle itself and retreat to Siyalta with all my troops.

Reformation is a fortified city, and there are fine walls for it, so I guess we're looking at a future where we can endure until winter and reverse one shot.

Me too, I just got here so I don't know what's going on.

"... Is there a consideration?

When I said that, Carol looked at me with a little surprise.

Naturally, I thought of it as free labor, and I guess I didn't expect the concept of consideration or anything like that to emerge.

But as far as I'm concerned, I just wanted to ask.

I don't mind doing it in Roja if I'm enough to keep one princess, but if it's such a heavy labor, I'll get lost too.

Even when it comes to riding a cakedri, the speed of the entire squad is constrained by the speed of the wastage the horse pulls, so it's not so fast, but because if you have as many as a thousand people on foot, you'll have so much foot clumping.

Still, it's hard to get caught up, but if you take it for free, there will be a backlash from within the squad.

In short, I'm not as thoughtful as an innocent citizen of Kirchna, and the guys on the spectator team probably think the same thing.

"Do you need it?"

"The men of the squad will probably feel strongly in their desire to go home. Besides, you can't expect a favorable reaction to taking on the hassle. With consideration, it's easy to understand motivation."

I didn't deal with the guys in the squad since I got back, so I don't know how it actually is, but I probably have that thought.

I want to go home from the beginning.

However, this is a request from the royal family for the end.

We're practically the last remnants of the reformation, and that's why these roles have turned around.

Externally, I have a rather poor image of making end-of-life requests unsubstantiated.

Images can be manipulated to some extent, but I have a lot of enemies in Siyalta, too.

Those who rebel against the prospect of this squad will want to use it to paint mud on the merits of this squad.

The king and his wife saw the queen.

Unless you've made up your mind beforehand, but you thought you needed to talk to me.

"I was going to let Terru have it, but if that's the case, I'll leave it with you"

The queen glanced at the king's swordlike woman, who had refrained from being in the room.

Here's a jade seal.

"Ha."

Responding briefly, the sword-like woman of the king left the room with a sleaze.

Not the door behind me, the door behind the queen.

Tamagata?

Do you mean the jade seal of Kirchina, or the king's seal?

Even if they keep it, I'm in trouble.

Or you'll still use it.

If I deposit that, I won't be able to make high-end dictionaries and other documents.

"Wait a minute."

The woman came right back.

In his hand, he holds a large crate.

The box was silently placed in front of Carol.

What, isn't it in front of me?

Only royalty is allowed to have, an object like that?

Perhaps it is the obsession of the Kings swords of Kirchina around there, and I say not strongly.

They're scared when they're clean.

I look sideways, but it's pretty splendid out of the box.

Crates with arabesque sculptures throughout, the whole covered with gold leaf.

Even when it comes to gold leaves, it does not appear to have been pasted yesterday, the gold color that is just dazzling is soaked, and the gold leaves on the pointed part of the sculpture are peeled off.

Still, the whole piercing has not been lost.

"You can open it."

And I gave my permission to Carol, who was waiting for me because I didn't know where she was.

"Excuse me, let me open it"

Carol put her hand on the lid and opened the box.

Inside, a green mass sat on a cushion, beside which was a gold mark in the shape you wanted to flatten made of gold.

The green one, is it bad?

It has a clear, deep green color.

It is a colour that feels vital, like a fresh green bud breathed in the spring, compressed and stoned.

The nearby, possibly pure gold, golden jade is so overwhelming that it looks sumptuous.

Hisui is not without offerings, but there are very few that are clear.

Everything in Siyalta has a cloudy color, like a mix of dripping milk.

Some of my parents' warehouses have this beautiful hissui, but the round-polished stones are on the Kansas pattern, and the stones vary in size altogether.

There will be no more than two large and beautiful stones in this world.

No, there's two of them.

I hear it was originally one.

"The Empress's Jade Seal..."

Carol snapped and grabbed the jade seal.

The jade seal, which would have been ten centimetres square, had been roughly cracked when exposed to the face laying on the cushion.

I guess it was originally square, but it cracks in two and the ratio is shaped like a two-to-one rectangle.

Since the handle is even broken, this is not difficult to use as a seal.

Perhaps, for everyday use for this purpose, a golden seal was created next to it.

This one has an easy-to-hold handle that is firmly built in the middle of the rectangle.

If I understand correctly, this jade seal was used by the Queen of the Great Empire of Chantilla.

Cracked in accidents during the great division caused by the war, artificially cracked in a commentary, he broke up with the most powerful of his sisters, a country created by a woman named Jurn and Noah.

Since then, the two jade seals have never combined.

In the kingdoms of Yurn and Noah, incomplete marks broken in half continued to be used as national seals until the end of the country.

Both, after the country perished, it was missing, and I never heard of its location.

It's a famous, somewhat romantic story as a historical trivia.

That's just something emotional.

The Shans, rather than the people with the great empire of Shantilla as their ancestors, can be considered a treasure to all.

"One crack in this, I hear Siyalta has it. If this city falls, do as you please."

If it did not fall, would it mean requesting return?

It won't happen, though.

Or, Carol, does the house already have one?

I didn't know.

It's possible that I'm just shallow school, but maybe I'm not publicizing ownership, it's a secret matter.

"Is it good? Dear Teru..."

Carol says worryingly.

I guess the original owner, the successor, is worried that it will be Terre.

"That has no temperament of courage to raise your own soldiers and reclaim your country. Having something like this will only make you unhappy"

Sounds about right.

Unless you raise a soldier and reclaim your own country, raising a jade and wielding Wang Wei will only make you dangerous.

Give me a state because I will make it a country, and if I tell my queen that, in some cases, she may be assassinated with a king's sword pointed at her.

It's best to let go of the jade jade jade jade, get some treatment instead, live happily ever after without ambition or anything.

"Really? I will now deposit it with you."

Carol closed the lid with Patan.

"Uhm."

The queen nods.

"Is that all?

And I say.

"That's all...?

The queen looked at me lightly.

Is this a shortage, you want to say?

Given the preciousness of the jade seal, it would be natural to think so.

"It's a great treasure indeed... but for this one, it will be underserved"

More like he was going to give me the Siyalta royal family through Terlu from the beginning.

Just in time, let's let this play a role in consideration. I guess I thought so.

"I just got that, and after I take it home, it's just stored in the treasure trove of the castle in Sibyak. It's hard to feel thankful for what's happening on the clouds if you look at it from the soldiers"

"Hmmm...... so what kind of stuff do you want?

I hear you're feeling a little uncomfortable.

It's in my face and voice.

No, it's not like I don't recognize the preciousness or cultural value of this jade.

I think you'd rather understand.

"I would also like to receive the jade... plus a medal with a reward"

"The medal...? There is no such thing."

Medals can take many forms, but they are not just documents, they exist physically.

Something like a badge or medal can be lowered from the neck or fastened to the chest.

Of course, they are shaped, so they have to be designed and manufactured.

You want to scratch that it's not like you can have it ready by tomorrow.

"All you have to do is write down one document indicating the entry into force of the medal, and then you can throw away the money, the amount that is spared. And then, after we return, we will design and manufacture it appropriately and award it to His Highness Terre."

"... to that extent, I don't mind."

From the Queen's point of view, that much would be like a cusp compared to a jade.

I'll give you the mansion, if you say so, make one shelf because it's underserved. Do you feel like you've been told?

But it's supposed to be enough.

If you have as much power and assets as the Queen, it shouldn't be difficult to pay the price of making about sixty people listen to you.

"Please limit the contents of the medal to those engaged in the operation to deliver the last citizen safely. If you leave the team, you won't get a medal. If you do, you'll change your mind."

"I don't mind that either."

All right.

I got your consent.

"And then, needless to say, I ask you to arrange paperwork to have the command of the 300 soldiers transferred. Under the above conditions, we will guard His Royal Highness Terre and the thousand inhabitants, let us work"

"Right."

That was all the queen said.

"The money, it's not here. All of them are carried away and placed in Ciarta."

Heh.

For a moment, I felt complex emotions swirling around my chest and inky black fluid dripping down my mind.

Right, are the assets being transferred?

Fair enough.

That's more convenient.

"Let's leave that with Lord Carol. After our death, I want you to spend it on that reward, on saving the poverty of the refugees, and leave the rest to your daughter."

I don't know how much.

Oh, my God, you're acting so gross.

But it is also true that, even though the refugees in Kirchina are poor, their position would be jeopardized if Terru were to luxury himself in Kirchina's legacy.

Well, for sure, they'd say you're like a greedy bitch dirty on gold.

It may be a good nuisance from Teru, but the choice to entrust the disposition to the Siyalta royal family may not be a bad one.

I guess these parents don't believe in Terre's abilities that way.

I feel like I throw it round because I think it's hard for Terre to make a technical political decision.

Perhaps if Aunt Yi's satsuki were in the same position, I wouldn't take these measures against Sham.

"... you, too, okay?

And the queen told me.

"Of course. It's convenient."

"Right."

With that said, the queen sighed.

He dropped his shoulder like he was weak and left his pinned spine on his back.

I guess I lost one worry and got a load of shoulders.

"You can go now. Rest well."

I don't even care what you say.

"Yes. Now, if you'll excuse me"

That's what I said, but as far as I'm concerned, I can only sit.

I'm sitting because it's a wheelchair I can't manipulate myself.

The queen looks at me for a second, huh? And he looked surprised and seemed to notice the situation immediately.

"Oh, you did. Send them to your room."

A little louder, the two King-sword-like people still came and turned to their backs.

Where the two of them grabbed the handle of each wheelchair,

"Wait."

And, the queen, for some reason, gave the order to suspend.

"Finally, I wanted to ask you something"

What the fuck?

"What are you going to do just now?

What are you going to do, you told me to work?

Isn't that what this is about?

"That's a lot of a fuzzy question. After the mission, does that mean?

"That's right. After you graduate from the hospital, it's what you need to do."

What are you going to do with your life work, I wonder if it's something like that.

I have no idea how to answer that.

I want to build a pile of corpses by killing Klu people wherever possible, I wonder if that's the right thing to say.

No, it's also a job interview, and you need to explore the answers they want.

"I want to build a house near a lake with mountain views, with whoever I want, and live relaxed. Hire help with chores. Growing flowers, fishing, reading books, taking your time… wanting to have a peaceful time."

I honestly stated my desire.

Because so many things have happened, more than honor or war, I just want to rest.

In reality, if that happens, I don't know.

Out of the way, I might get bored and leave right away.

So is this answer different?

No, I want to live like that in old age, so it won't be a lie.

But there was a slight guilt in my mind about where it came from,

"Well, it would be an unfulfilled dream"

He added.

………

The queen, for a moment, looked embarrassed.

I opened my mouth, stopped it, and shut up like I was choosing words.

Isn't that what you want to hear, something like that?

After that, I broke my expression to melt.

"Phew..."

It wasn't a sigh, just spit it out to exclude the air in her lungs, and from the queen's eyes, there was no pulse whatsoever, a glimmer of tears.

"Right. You can go now."

Despite the tears flowing, the words were neither tears nor strangely shaken.

"Your Majesty, I'll take care of the rest. Even if it doesn't, I will continue to do my best."

When Carol thanked her once on the street, the queen returned no words, just nodded cocklessly.

When the wheelchair was manipulated and turned to the other side, the expression was no longer visible.
