A modest dinner was held after the signing ceremony. It's a little late for lunch.
It was shortly after the peace was established. Of course, all attendees were expected to behave accordingly. If you always spill your dissatisfaction, you will be suspected of integrity.
And none of the attendees at this meeting were such fools. My father and Romillier were having a pleasant conversation throughout the meal. If anyone knew anything, the Quoldenze and the Spiazek must have thought they were close aristocrats.
It was a dinner party with a very mild atmosphere.... "Terrible" and "gentle" are two words that stick together to make it seem like you don't understand the taste of the food.
The dinner party ended safely while I made a bad discovery.
I even felt like my spiritual strength had risen one step after I had overcome this living hell. Even after dinner, when the chat time started, I didn't get upset at all.
I'd say this harmony is really unconventional.
The current head of the Nongait Count family, Nongait Turzast, continues to speak with a meek smile.
This grandfather, whose eyes are also deeply wrinkled, is the grandfather of the next incumbent, Nongait Kanan. I hear that he is over ninety years old.
The fact that the elderly who was supposed to be hiding long ago now sits on the seat of the chairman is related to the death of the chairman at that time due to the trouble of Ershinia.
At that time, it was said that “the Koldenze and the Spiazek will clash at the Rishleaf Castle within the next few years.” Depending on the course of the battle between the two families, there must have been a terrible turmoil in the middle of the continent. Can you leave such an important stage to the young Canaan?
The answer is no. Canaan seems to be one year younger than me, so he is twelve years old as of today. Quite frankly, I can only see the future when I'm swung around by both Qualdenze Lukse and Spiazek McNis.
Earlier generations of Tarzast survived the war and defended the Nongites, with a proven track record and commensurate name values. As the owner of the connection, it can be said that it is the most reasonable judgment to rejoin the board.
"Anyway, I'm so glad that the struggle between Koldenze and Spiazek has come to an end."
Count Nongait with a gentle smile, but I can't be alarmed at all.
This grandfather just said, "I'll measure your strength." He's firing a lot of jabs. If you give back badly, an intense counter punch will immediately fly. There was a very intense exchange going on.
I can see that the Kanan-kun next to us is having a tongue fight with our cheerful conversation.
"I am honored to be congratulated by the Count of Nongait."
But I haven't had much trouble with this exchange.
It's still easier to be in a hurry of dialogue with an old man than to be nicking around in an air you can't stand. Naturally, a smile comes to my mind. I almost laughed out loud when I lost my mind.
"Hmm, it's good to be proud." It will be a tribute to Lord Wilk's martial arts and will. "
The count looks at me from behind the smiling mask. [M] Strong pressure was felt on the accent of the voice.
The rapprochement that was described as an unconventional is my martial arts and my aspirations.
Apparently, Grandpa is half convinced that I acted on my own in this case. And by daring to show it, you're putting pressure on us and trying to question our thoughts.
"I was impressed by the expression in the previous sentence."
What the Count cares about or is wary of is the philosophy of the Nambonan Peace Treaty. More specifically, it is the thought of Koldenze Wilk, who was deeply involved in the preparation of the text.
On the surface, the Nambonan Peace Treaty assumes the responsibility of the guardian of the earth, and the idea of prioritizing territorial peace is preached. However, if you look at the individual texts, they also contain dangerous contents that can be converted into the sparks of the next war.
Whether the person who will become Qouldenze Wilk is satisfied with the territorial concession shown by the signing of this treaty, or is aiming for the opening of the second round of the destruction phase of the Spiazek family, or whether he hopes for something bigger than that and looks forward to the third round and beyond, the count wants to know about it.
"It is our duty and our duty to protect the earth." As a good neighbor who shares the same value, Nongait wants to welcome the family's decision. ”
Don't have any more territorial ambitions according to the words in the previous sentence, just stick to what you said, and the Nongites will be able to give way to the Quoldenze somewhat. Rather than probing, you use the previous sentence as a reminder.
Perhaps, the count, like the men of Qordenze and Spiazek, failed to understand the intent and significance of article 3. In that regard, the preceding sentence was full of rhetoric and was easy to understand in a sense, and it was easy to use for speaking.
If I were in the count's shoes, I want House Spiazek to continue to survive. As a virtual enemy of the Quoldenze family, I want them to be there to attract snakes as insects in the lions in the Voistra plains. I didn't want to start a war in the next territory because I could use my nerves.
It is the untrue truth of the Nongites that I want you to refrain from any further controversy. It feels a little too prudent to just be a good neighbor for the price.
Well, the Nongait family, who have been interfering for years, are showing their steps. As expected, it was decided that it was not a good idea to completely ignore the victorious Qordenze.
"Thank you for your understanding, Count."
I have no territorial ambitions, so let me affirm first. However, don't forget to pierce the nail to avoid strange interpretations.
I dared to show him a deeper smile.
"The Nambonan Peace Treaty was crafted with a careful examination of each word, so to speak, is my belief. Failure to make a promise is a violation of one's will and will. I don't think that's your behavior."
At present, the Spiazek family may be forced to take over the territory of Nijo, but it is unknown whether to offer it honestly or not. The content of Article 3 was even more difficult for the nobles of the Elio continent to understand.
But for whatever reason, it's a promise, so I'm going to take it. Because it is the same as the spirit of protecting the earth described in the previous sentence, it is a component that can never be invaded.
The denial of individual texts is synonymous with the denial of the possession of the nobility proclaimed in the preceding sentence. So I can't admit to breaking the treaty as an aristocrat. In other words, it is necessary to destroy the nobleman named Spiazek from the face of the earth. Of course, this is only a battle for dignity and has nothing to do with territorial ambitions.
The Nongites need to understand the area.
enough to be
“I intend to embody my belief in the protection of the earth in Qualdentze. I hope you can look it up from the non-gite place."
At the smallest, the Nambonan Peace Treaty shows, but at the most, it stops with the destruction of Spiazek and the annexation of the whole of the Voistra Plain. There is no ambition for a kingdom beyond the bounds of Qualdentze or an empire. I have no plans for an invasion war against the Nongites, so watch with peace of mind.
"... um"
Was my claim correctly passed on to the Count? The smile mask that this grandfather makes is thick, and I can't read it at all.
In the meantime, I decided to proceed with the conversation as if I had agreed to it.
"I will show you that I am not ashamed of the great guardian who has protected my ancestral land."
House Spiazeik will resist in order to maintain their ancestral lands, but I say I will do so with a proper understanding.
I hope you'll be a good neighbor from now on.
That said, I smiled again.
Don't do anything superfluous to me, threatening me that the Nongites might lose their ancestral homeland if I interfere.
In just a dozen seconds, the Count and I face each other silently.
It was the count who opened his mouth first.
"... I remember Lord Kasia talking to Lord Wilk." Not just your pupils, but your standing behavior. They resemble each other. It's nostalgic. "
The last word was slightly different in tone. The nervousness that was stretched slightly eased.
Grandmother?
Hmm. Do you know the Keybolf Corridor?
The mountains stretching from the northwest to the centre of the continent are called the Keybolff Mountains. This natural stronghold divides the western and northern parts of the continent, allowing the people of the Empire to live free from the threat of the foggy earth.
The plains follow this long mountain range, but these areas were also called the Keybolff Corridor. The origin of this is that it looks like a corridor protected by a roof called the Key Bolff Mountains.
Of course I know it as knowledge, so I nodded honestly. This is just a swing, so if you don't, we won't be able to talk.
"It will be before the founding of the Empire." After a long wander, the Emperor, who had brought together the partisans, was courageously advancing to the Western Heisei. "
Emperor Zinker-En was born into a triple family of weak nobles, but he was banished from his parents' home before he reached adulthood. According to the story of the founding of the Empire, I was given only a sword and went on a journey, but I don't know how far the legend around it is true. There is no doubt that he left his parents' house for the time being.
When it comes to the heroism spoken of in the folklore, after leaving home, Emperor Zinker-En was wandering all over the western part of the continent, defeating bad aristocrats to help the war-torn people, and later encountering heroes who would become founders of the nation.... well, it seems that they actually earned money by doing bandit spying, and they were raging on the battlefield as mercenaries.
Even so, even though they are the bandits of the Lord's ancestors, but they are mercenaries, they are terrifying just by imagining them. It seems that the end of the century in the western part of the continent at that time will be plentiful.
While they were rampaging around, the Zinker Enemy had more friends. Some of the ancestors were in similar situations, while others were remnants of the Knights, who had lost their homes and were seeking a new way of life. He realized that he had grown into a powerful party that did not compete with the army of the weak nobility.
It is the birth of the Zinker-En-Party, an organization that became the forerunner of the Zinker-En-Party. My grandmother, who was a runaway daughter, is also very involved in this formation. For that reason, I was generally aware of what the count had to say.
"The Zinker-En Party, which had taken control of the Alpeo family, finally turned its attention to the north. One of the messengers who visited the corridor at this time was Lord Casia on a young day."
At that time, the western part of the continent was an aristocratic house with special features of Juliaeres in the west and Špiazek in the east. To be precise, the Duchy of Alpeo to the west and the Kingdom of Voistra to the east.
It seems that the Keybolf corridor has trembled due to the strength of the Zinker-En Party, which attacked and destroyed the House of Friaeres, which is a fragment of the two strengths.
"If I were to use it as a conqueror, I would think it would be the little girl I dreamed of..."
Hmph, Tarzast laughs lightly. It seemed like a bare face spilled from an aristocratic mask. It may not be such a bad memory for this grandfather.
It was a nobleman who made the case for the nobleman's reasoning.
Emperor Zinker-En and his men were fighting for the end of the turbulent world. The Count apparently predicted that if he were to come as an emissary, he would naturally be forced to surrender and submit. As a matter of fact, many Zinker-En Party members were intoxicated and blindly obedient to the cause.
However, my grandmother, who came to the non-gait territory, said that the first theme she advocated was "survival of the home". The count seemed to like this.
What is important to the count is that he keep the bloodline of the Lord's ancestors which the non-gaites have joined, and that he keep the house and the land. I couldn't afford to ride a beautiful thing that could be interpreted as the end of a turbulent world without a fluttering grip. Under the name of the cause, we do not know what disadvantages can be imposed.
The Nongites did not immediately decide to submit on the spot, but they were strongly impressed by the presence of a "talkative nobleman" named Queldenze Cassia at the head of the Zinker-En Party.
"I always put reality first, and Koldenze first." Only then could we have achieved the great unity of the Five Presidents. "
And there must be some reason why we've been telling stories like this. There's no such thing as just nostalgia. It is clear from the exchanges so far that he is not such a frivolous grandfather.
The count said that I and my grandmother were alike. [M] My grandfather, and of course the count who had met Emperor Zinker-En many times, dared to pick up only my grandmother. It is good to think that some sort of claim lurks here.
Well, that's a difficult story.
My grandmother has somehow a harsh image, but she has been calm since she began to wield the harvest as the head of the Qoldenze family. I haven't had a foreign war since I cleared my collateral relatives. I am working on my internal affairs to regain the Kuordenze territory.
After a rampage as one of the founding scholars, he laid down good governance in the territory as a politician. It is a very frustrating life.
Compared to a young hero, it may not have any flowers. However, we have done much to quickly reunite the divided territory and establish centralized control over the main house. It was undoubtedly my grandmother who raised the Koldenze family as a bull in the middle of the continent.
“The count's words are a great encouragement to me, who wants to be like my grandmother.”
The Count probably figured out through this conversation that I had no ambitions other than in the Spiazek realm. Of course, I'm not sure at the moment, but I think it's just an impression. "For now, I don't think I have the same ambition as Emperor Zinker-En, so I want you to separate this big victory and encourage the internal affairs like Lord Kasia afterwards", it must be my intention to say that I resemble my grandmother.
Hmm. I hope you're encouraged.
The count smiles with satisfaction and introduces his great-grandson, who was standing next to him.
The greeting and conversation with Canaan ended without any particular prominence or difficulty. Unlike his grandfather, this great-grandson had nothing but a settled greeting and a solid conversation.
Canaan seemed a little nervous, but the manners were not so bad.
If it was a hostile nobleman's house, I would shake it and pull out the bluff and loss, but the Nongait family is a nobleman who wants to get along with them in the future. The conversation with the Count made me feel like I had already done enough, and I had no reason to dare hit him.
If you were a cute girl, you might have enjoyed the reaction by being a little mean, but teasing a boy isn't funny at all.
"... I hope that Nongite and Qualdenze can walk together for a better future."
To sum up, the standing behavior of this old noble boy is not a failure point, but it is a subtle line that leaves anxiety at the end of the story.
The Koldenze family also conducted a preliminary investigation into Canaan. Last year, after the capture of Nambonan City, our civil servants visited the Nongait Territory to say hello, but at this time they were meeting with the Count and Canaan.
As we came to the signing ceremony, we checked the report on Canaan, but it was very unfortunate that it was called "Bonkula". There are many bypass actions, there is a lack of sense of crisis as the next president, there is a strong longing for martial arts, and I do not see reality. If this becomes the president, the non-gait territory will become unstable, and it was such a bad on-parade.
However, as far as I can see from today's standing behavior, I feel like I'm growing quite steadily. Compared to the image of Canaan in my brain when I read the report, the real thing is much better.
Perhaps the Count also understood that the Quoldenze side had rated Canaan as a puzzle. Are you in a hurry to start re-education?
Well, if it changes this much in about a year, I can expect future growth... I see, one of the reasons I brought this delicate canaan to Nambonan City is probably this. "Please do not look at the non-gait family with anxiety because I am currently educating them to become proper aristocrats," such as the interim report.
Let's work together as the next generation in charge of the territory, Lord Canaan.
You will continue to grow up, so I sent you the brew and the story got better. I signal the Count and Canaan to relax and talk.
Just interacting with bees and having a template-like conversation doesn't leave a good impression on either side. It's too barren. Time should be set aside for intimacy.
The proposal was accepted immediately because both of them were aware of it.
"I heard that Lord Wilk rode into the Voistra Plain alone. It was called Operation Snake Jaw. What kind of readiness did you have?"
Canaan's eyes were sparkling.
It's been a long time since we moved to cheerful chatting, and I'm sure you've been dying to hear it.
“That's all I need to do. In addition, he had a grandfather in the Voistra plains, and he was expecting a collaborator from Koldenze. I can't boast of getting in alone.”
My grandfather had a magic defect, but I didn't say anything about it.
A cursory summary of the official views of the House of Qualdenze suggests that Wilk's detachment staged an ambush while General Garphis, the energetic hatchetman, was attracting Spiazeke's troops to Rishleaf Castle. It was all a snake trap.
As you scrutinize the details, it becomes a story full of contradictions, but you can't accurately capture all the elements in El Oro, where information transmission is limited. It is difficult to say that it is false.
If it could be pointed out, it would be when contradictions arise in the testimonies of Quoldenze officials. In order not to make that mistake, I talked to Canaan while wrapping up in smoke.
It's an unusual seat, so I can't talk too much about it.
After a certain amount of talking, I turn my gaze to Spiazek and end the story. Romillier seems to be having a chat with Count Avenapis right now.
To give you an overview of Operation Chin, I'm still not insensitive enough to tell you more about the end of McNeiss and Kindlore. If I talked to him boastfully, the Spiazek side would be offended.
"Don't be so meticulous."
The count also put a stop on Canaan. However, instead, I was asked about my attention to Spiazek. In particular, the bodies of McNish and Kindlore have been returned to deep digging. The actions around here would be incomprehensible to the Elio Continental Aristocrats.
For the time being, it is a question that was also assumed in the prior simulation. I returned it with the thought of breaking the intestine for the sake of the peace of the territory, and I said something like that.
"As I was saying, didn't the count think of her grandmother?" I lost my independence until then..... "
I decided to ask the Count and Canaan questions because they keep digging.
For the time being, the subject is the story of my grandmother, whom I have just touched upon. Canaan also seemed intrigued, so it would be a safe choice.
The Nongites have defended their homes and maintained their independence during the long and intense war in the western part of the continent. He did not immediately surrender to the Zinker Enemy, who dominated the Alpeo region. Surrender must have been a painstaking decision. I wanted to hear what was going on around there.
The count stared at me in silence for a moment. And the next moment, she nodded several times convincedly and laughed from the beginning.
"That's probably the idea of coming to East China." Independence of the nobility is ultimately only one means of protecting the house. To destroy a house to protect its independence would be a disaster. ”
The nobility of the kingdom of Levios weighs heavily on self-reliance. My question seemed to be "Levios Kingdom Noble Marquis Koldenze". For his grandfather, the image of the "Duke of Zinker-En Empire" was strong, and the gap was interesting.
I don't really understand the smile of the elderly, but I can somehow understand the difficulty of updating the image of the brain as I get older.
"In the kingdom, I feel that the spirit of self-reliance is deeply linked not only to the means of survival of the simple nobility, but also to the anti-priesthood. Maybe that's the difference between east and west."
"Well, that's an interesting story."
In general, the western part of the continent is said to be the most violent and explosive place in the world. The survival of the nobility would have been so close that they could not even afford to say such a long story as the independence of the nobility.
As a matter of fact, many small aristocrats survive in the eastern part of the continent.
"The nobles in the corridor suffered from an endless and unseen struggle and were exhausted. I can't tell when or when this body will be burnt down. The evil that man creates is a terrible thing."
"My grandfather told me it was a difficult time."
The count sighed a great sigh there.
"... even though I had such great hopes, I can only thank the Emperor who opened the way to hell and led the war to an end." Not now, anyway. "
I didn't sympathize with Emperor Zinker-En's thoughts, but I felt obligated to the results.
"Lord Gulfis will know the grief of that era." I hope the teachings are cherished. "
Yes.
When I replied, I unconsciously looked at Canaan.
Since entering chat time, he has been curious about the chin operation. I couldn't say it was rude, but I was a little excited to see it.
This old boy may have no choice, but he has a strong admiration for heroes and martial arts. It is as reported in advance. They seem to have strange expectations of me crushing the Spiazeik army.
Tell your son before you preach the war experience to the kid in your other home, and he'll be happy to follow you. I didn't want to hate it.
"No matter how sad it is, over time they will become an accompaniment to heroic plays." At this age, I have made new discoveries, and these days I can only feel the ruthlessness. ”
The count mutters in mockery.
"The people who know the corridor will have the same troubles." Looking back on a past full of suffering is terrible for an old man. But I still have to tell you again. what it's like to protect your home..... "
Apparently, it's not just the Nongites, it's the whole aristocratic family in the Keybolff Corridor. It's a hard memory, so there are a lot of elderly people who don't dare to talk and don't want to remember.
And since Emperor Zinker-En's domination is thriving within the Empire, it seems that the younger generation tends to yearn for heroism. Maybe the whole Empire is like this. I hate it.
"Looking back at the war and thinking about peace. I think today's signing ceremony will be a good opportunity.”
The Nongites will share much information about the signing ceremony in Nambonan City with the aristocrats in the Keybolff Corridor at a later date. At that time, I would also like you to think carefully about peace.
The majority of the forces known as the Nobles of the North of the Empire are corridor nobles. I was scared that if I had more people with the same temperament as Canaan, I would start a war at a lower level. The count and the old nobles in the corridor wanted the memories of the war to be passed on to generations and generations.
All-out war with the Zinker-En Empire must be avoided.
Considering that, the current condition of the owner of the Nongait family is the most convenient. If there is nothing else to do, there is a sense of security that the front will not be cut and opposed to the Queldenze family.
The non-gait territory is the easternmost part of the Keyboluf Corridor, and it is located at a possible gateway to the Kouldenze Territory. If we start a war with the Empire, it will undoubtedly be the first time that the Nongait Territory will suffer and end badly. I'm sure the Koldenze family will take a stand against the war while they're still alive.
The question is, how old are you and how old are you that you are about to pass away from old age tomorrow? It's literally a deadly element of anxiety, but it doesn't matter. I want to be in a hurry to educate my great-grandchildren.
"It looks like the left." The end of the war would be an opportunity.... everything is not going to be as it has always been. There will be big changes in the south and the west. ”
I'm sure you're referring to the Empire's southern nobility and the Western nobility.
Until now, many of these people have supported the House of Koldenze mainly because they don't like the House of Spiazeke, but now that they have settled down, how do they act? It was one of the issues that needed to be discussed face to face with my father and grandfather.
It is fair to say that the forces of the Eastern Empire's nobility no longer exist. Because the House of Qualdenze crushed everything in the last twenty years or so. Of the remaining Imperial Eastern aristocrats, only the Spiazek family can properly be called a force.
“What changes do you think the Count will see? Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the situation in the Empire."
"... now and in the past, southern reasoning is difficult to understand in the north."
It's not a way of thrusting it out.
I can't answer because I don't know, that's the tone.
I knew it, but the effect of House Spiazeke bending his knees seems to be great.
