The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor

Lesson 34: The Old Deacon and the Emperor

"... so what does your Lord want?

"It is up to His Majesty the Emperor."

There is a vast palace in the imperial center, an empire present in the north of the kingdom.

Its size intimidates the diplomatic envoys, military personnel and merchants of other countries and shows that, even though it is now being pushed by the Kingdom, this country is still a major power.

Located in the northern part of the continent, crop yields are therefore small compared to the size of the national territory. But it is the excess mineral resources and the abundant fishery resources of the Northern Empire that continue to support this country. … at least on the surface.

That is why the troubles of the emperor Gregorio Eustin II, in the deepest, personal room of the Imperial Palace, were profound.

Fatigue lingers and sits in front of you with a bitter look, the old butler - staring at the Duke of Howard butler, Graham Walker.

"... I don't want such an answer or anything. We don't know each other, Graham. Clearly, there's no one here. Anything, you can assassinate me."

"Just kidding. A hero who ended a continental war five hundred years ago will inherit the blood of a 'archer', and there will be no destruction."

"... At the earliest, power has been mourned a long time. Very few of my sons, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren can use it at all. The rest is just one old man. It's not like" The Brave. "Tell me something. What are the terms of harmony?

"Bye."

The old butler has been saluting and giving away letters. Howard's crest on the back.

When the weary emperor opened it unconstitutionally, he ran his eyes.

Surprisingly, ask Graham.

"............... what do you mean?

"And my name is?

"Modestly -... oh, good. To put it bluntly, our army is losing. Besides, I've never experienced a human opponent in the last hundred years. The young men of the army still seem to think that they are deceiving the rest... of the northern minorities, drowning in their own bravery, and underestimating Howard's reward. The southern side of the army is in total collapse. Suddenly, I don't want to turn the army around. Especially... it's impossible north and east"

"I know you. Even though the easing of tensions has progressed in His Majesty's stead, for your country the same is true of the child who came out on his own with a torn stomach. From there, it's going to be hard to make a decision to pull out the army."

Graham responds faintly.

The Emperor leaned towards it as he felt a chill in his spine.

... How far is Howard's hand in manipulating his long coat?

"Therefore, with all due respect...... if my lord, Walter Howard, decides, the Empire South is a cut away. We can only decide on a step-by-step basis to deduce the status of your upper ranks. I don't have to deal with my Duke's army at that level. - Hmm, good tea leaves."

Kacha, and the cup was placed on a small plate.

More and more tired.

The military elite must always be left to stick with their mighty republican counterparts. The geographical constraints of the empire.

Overestimation of an army that has not experienced a massive war in the past hundred years.

Orgren, the demon king's war, was a sweet word from those who could have ended with the defeat of the human side... including the Crown Prince

Using my old age and health anxiety, I am only trying to smoke savory juice, bureaucrats.

... it makes sense that you can't win.

Sage learns from history and doesn't stop drilling himself.

Fools take history lightly, get drunk on themselves, be proud, and stop walking.

Meditate your eyes and gently raise your hands.

"............ I know. You are left naked in the southern realm of the Empire without even mobilizing. There is no chance. That's why I don't know. Why, Lord Howard, do you want blank harmony?

"Your Majesty is the best, do you understand that?

"... a troublesome man. Whatever you do, just eat some of the South."

"Wolves have a good nose, so. Lose, while understood, but also accepted ex post facto?

The war situation is hopeless.

In any case, the southern armies are devastated. If the Howard family requests a territorial transfer, they will have to take it.

At the same time, however, it… is becoming a burden for the Empire, dawning near the border with the Howard family and organizing the southern zone, while also buying time. Governance takes money, time, and hands.

And reform inside the Empire while Howard spends his time governing. Coming to a rematch after a good attitude.... this is the only time I could not do it a hundred years ago.

But... in blank harmony... Forget the fools immediately.

Not while the rest is alive. But after he died......

Throw out the letter.

"……… let's drink"

"I'm sure of it."

"Graham."

"What is it?"

"... pay ten times, no. The title is as you wish, except for the royal family. Please?"

"I refuse. Besides, you're wrong about who you invite."

"Ha! Aside from the Lord, who is Howard's stall, there are such people early -... well. This battle, the discomfort I felt."

"You're half right"

"Half?"

"Yes."

"... who is that monster? Oh, I'm not telling anyone. The rest is long gone. This is probably the last time I'll talk to you. Give me a souvenir. Anyway, is it connected to the story of the emergence of a new user of extreme magic? I moved" The Brave, "but it would be hard work."

Push your body against the back of the chair.

About the Emperor, about half a century. I lived well on my own. Let's get this over with.

.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The old butler smiles.

"I cannot reveal his name. But - we, Howard, owe him a great debt. I can't repay you enough for the fact that you've lost territory."

…………

"Your Majesty would you know that? Tell me about Her Royal Highness Princess Tina Howard."

"... you mean my daughter who can't use any magic"

"Yes, now they use 'Ice and Snow Wolf'"

"............ I see. Understood. but it's Graham. You're making one mistake."

"Ha? Why should I?"

"Whatever you decide. Knock it off..."

Laughter leaks while sitting in a chair.

The glorious martial arts medals of the Demon King's War make Howard a very grateful opponent for his fame throughout the continent. That is,

"- That guy, no doubt, is going to make a name for himself on the continent ahead. Like the heroes once were. Even if they have a first name, they will all be named. Until then, let's live somehow. While cleaning the empire."
