The Marquis’ Eldest Son’s Lascivious Story

Children's Party ③ The King's Plan

My favorite subject in my previous life as a student was world history.

I originally thought it was just a memorization subject and didn't like it so much. But at one point, even the terms that stuck in my head tied together and I realized how funny it was the moment it became a story.

The tour of cause and effect, the fascination of the drama that people weave...... If I were to say, would it be interesting similar to the joy of discovering the footprints left by the previous protagonists in the sequel to the game?

Anyway, I liked world history. And one of my particular favorite historical events is the demise of the Eastern Roman Empire, the fall of Constantinople.

Protecting a decaying empire is a triple-structured castle wall reminiscent of former glory. In addition to the desperate difference in troop numbers, I even feel the will of someone to defy the course of the times from the walls of the castle, which also seek to protect the capital from the new weapon Urban artillery prepared for the attack.

The oddity that appears in that historic showdown is beyond the mountains of the Ottoman fleet.

The Ottoman army, which saw the breakthrough of the walls as difficult, laid eyes on the feeble Golden Horn Bay to break the glue. But the entrance to the bay is blocked and a frontal breakthrough is impossible. So they carried the fleet by land, over the mountains.

The dynamic maneuver of ships climbing mountains, the morale of soldiers that still collapse as opposed to the walls that never escaped, and the emperor, ready to perish, leaps into the enemy army and disappears with the history of East Rome...

It looks like a splash of flowers, and I think it's complete as a story of doom.

... and regardless of my favorite historical episode, there is no Ottoman army, no Ottoman fleet, let alone the Eastern Roman Empire on the El-O continent.

A moment of agitation transmits to my fingertips, and the fork scrubs the plate and makes a small noise.

"... Ottoman fleet? Unfamiliar troops, but where was the anecdote"

It was Novalf who said so.

Due to the dull reaction of Sardine and Dunkel, who were having a conversation, I guess they turned to follow up. Because it was a very natural response, it could be expected that it would be a manipulation by Carmia Novalf to raise this topic.

"Oh, excuse me. There was a story like that in the book I read before. Ugh."

I feel like Carmia's looking at me. It may be felt that I just rang a fork.

Does it mean I mimic Crowne to come in with these surprise stories? You think you and I were having a meeting in reference to the afternoon exchange?

It's just that I was calming down by listening to her.

The likelihood of Atelahan Carmia being a reincarnator from Earth just like me is less. Because I found out how she found out about the word Ottoman fleet.

"Do you know Lord Wilk? It's an anecdote in a book published in Newnelly City."

There he is.

Of course I know about the book, but suddenly I take care not to say yes.

The only card still open on the field is the keyword "over the mountains of the Ottoman fleet". It's dangerous to jump here.

"Well, is it a book published in my Newnelly? What will the written name be?

If I just heard the words that appear in the book text of the book to the title, I'd be thought of by a hell of a enthusiast.

"Well. I'm sorry for this. It will be a book named" History of the Other World ". It's a continuation, and the publication still seems to be going on. Did you know?"

You know, it wouldn't be my fault to feel the inclusion. Carmia should be asking with some certainty.

"Oh, is that the book? I know."

Knowing or nothing, the author's gonna hide something. This is me.

That book, how it was supposed to be written "History of the Other World," will go back to shortly after birth.

The first time I was reincarnated into El Oro continent, I couldn't help but want to write a note anyway. I was terrified of losing my memories of my previous life.

There was not a specific precursor to concern about oblivion. I just kind of felt like I was going to forget. "How long have my memories of those tumultuous days faded and now I can't remember in detail anymore? But there is something that remains without ever being lost, yes, the important thought is certainly still in this chest..." Should I say that I was afraid of the flow? It's a common development for circle reincarnations, past alterations, and epilogues of such stories.

I don't care if it's a good story, but I don't like that way of closing the story. If I remember everything the moment I reunite with heroine in the last and it's going to be a happy ending, then I'm going to flip and like it...... no, there was no heroine in my story in my earthly days, so it doesn't matter.

This is how I remember the time of the Earth, and in the end, I was worried. But at the time, I was afraid of losing my memory of the past, my self. I wasn't ready to forget everything and live as Qualdenze Wilk.

When I was three or four years old, or when I falsely got my writing gear for wanting tools for painting, I wrote my memories of my previous life in a heartless manner. In Japanese.

Now I think it would be pretty creepy if a little baby started writing a mysterious language with solid hands. You should be thankful for your surroundings for keeping a warm eye on me.

At first, he even wrote and beat his own history in his previous life, and in parallel, he described his knowledge of the natural sciences system from one end to the other. It should have taken more than a year to reach out to the historical field, which is my hobby.

By the time I started writing the world history of Earth, I had also started writing training in Ero.

Hearing and speaking, reading were essential to the learning materials. Everyone nearby is a native speaker of Elo, and the servants read me as many books as I wanted.

Writing was a bit of a problem. Civilians and servants who strive to be teachers prepare Elo texts, and I will write them down. If I were a real baby, I might be good at that study method, but I am a reincarnator of Japanese natives here and there. When you get used to it, it's just a writing job of letters, and your brain doesn't activate much, and most importantly, it's boring.

When I wondered if there was any good way to study, what I had at hand was a pile of notes written in Japanese. I thought it would be a good study to translate this.

However, I could not translate my history or scientific knowledge into Elo in my previous life. Because it could be read by someone other than yourself. Regardless of my history, there is nothing good about scientific knowledge being spilled.

Taking them into account, I decided to use the Earth's World History Note as the subject of translation. I intend to focus on great people and historical episodes when translating and take care not to touch technical relationships as much as possible.

It doesn't mean I'm good at foreign languages. For this reason, I put particular effort into studying writing. I don't want them to think of me as a child who doesn't even speak Ero, and I was desperate anyway.

As a result, the number of texts of Earth history translated into Ero increased day by day.

One day, a handmade book was delivered to me.

Apparently I looked like a "child playing with fictional world history stories" from my servants. Is it like a subspecies of children who like to paint? A distracted Tesh ordered a civilian to edit his previous translations into a single book.

Most importantly, this merely sums up the lines of the text. Rather than letting people read it as a book, I've worked so hard to study it so far, and I'd say it's a strong gift with a reward element.

Tesh said I could even issue it as a decent book if I wanted to, so I reviewed the composition, rewrote past awkward sentences, and added to it with the thought of getting people to read it.

It is the book "History of the Other World" that came into the world in that way.

"I was surrounded by several writings under the castle. The History of the Other World will be written by one of them."

I told him the official setting was...

It is not uncommon for nobles and knights to patron wise scholars, good artists and skilled craftsmen, and nothing strange about the inclusion of novelists there.

You're a person who likes to read stories, they just think.

"Well. Did you still"

"Again?"

"I thought it might have something to do with Lord Wilke."

"I see, was that what happened? Indeed, the name of the author of The History of the Other World is what I gave him. It may be a little cheap, but it's years old..."

The pen name of different world histories is a very simple one: Anagram of Qualdenze Wilk.

This has three reasons.

It is very rare to play with the letter anagram in Ero and ancient languages, and one thing I thought no one would notice.

One thing I thought was that the number of copies issued was small, to the extent that it went out among Qualdenze officials at best.

And the biggest reason is "the content is crap. Unrealistic and boring. I had no dreams" scattered previous reputation, so I thought no one wanted it.

But contrary to expectations, otherworldly history went out there in Newnelly City.

Books made by young ladies, so that Qualdenze officials began to read them, so that they became statuses to recognize and possess "books that are popular among officials" among merchants and upper-class citizens who have many opportunities to deal with them. It still sells fine to the extent that it does not fall into deficit.

Exactly. You can't make it out loud that I'm the author, and you won't believe what a five-year-old or six-year-old wrote in the first place. For this reason, Quoldenze Wilk created an official setting that gave pen names to the novelists he supported.

"Lord Wilk has been familiar with books since childhood."

Hammering on a smiling Carmia, I figure out why she noticed the anagram.

I think Ero is a language that emphasizes beauty. The existence of a meaningless string of decorative characters is also related to that. Strong awareness of seeing words and sentances as a whole, or low interest in individual letters...... It's not beautiful to tear apart the finished one, I feel inclined to think so. Maybe that's why they didn't like the play called Anagram. I'm not a linguist, so I can only speak by feeling.

Some of the Qualdenze officials noticed that the pen name was anagrammed, but such humans had something in common: bright in ancient documents.

The city of Newnelly is a historic city dating from a period of time, and many books in languages other than Ero and Ancient exist. And some scholar-skinned humans look into this in a hobby. Maybe those races take strings differently than regular people.

The city of Zareazelia, which is also the home of Carmia, is now home to the Atelahan family, but this is also a city that has been around for a long time. Many rulers have a history of being based in this city. Until the Zareazelia conquest by the Holy Army took place, so much so that tribes with languages that were not Ero or ancient were in control.

I don't know much about it either, but there are probably some ancient documents left, just like the city of Newnelly, and some scholars might look into it. Carmia seems to have a hobby for reading, and it seems possible that she surrounds those people. I can think of enough possibilities to have guessed with that connection.

Atelahan Carmia, I still can't tell her anything far-fetched.

That's all I thought about, setting up an interception system in my brain, and I decided to answer her first question.

Show it by acting as if it was excessive enough to feel deliberate, remembered.

"Over the mountains of the Ottoman fleet...... oh, I remember. Was it indeed a battle in which a split nation between East and West perished?"

Sometimes it was my personal favorite historical event, and I remember doing a pretty detailed portrayal around here. It also describes the mountain crossing episode well.

"I see. Indeed, as Lord Carmia said, there is a slight similarity to this operation"

The only similarity is that the ship is carried in to break the adhesive state. I guess the slightly abrupt way I've been pretending to be a story is through an approach that tries to measure their thinking and thoughts from the books they prefer.

Then I'll use this to make sure you understand my thoughts.

"Speaking of which, in ancient times, even the Belmana War took operations to carry ships. If Lord Rhona were here right now, he would tell me more..."

The pure teachings of Zeth also include the Journal of War on Vermana Regional Control. The so-called Belmana War is basically a battle that ends with the unrivalled of Mr. Zeth and his sons.

But in that battle, Mr. Zeth's men moved their soldiers in haste for merit. In order to break through the robust defenses of the city of Maguaoze, the ship was moved with the idea of an ambush from the Great River. In the end, this operation fails without good cooperation, and then the och says that Mr. Zeth has succeeded in freezing and magically freezing the Obiet River to cross the river and raid all the armies.

"Is this Lord Rhona? It's a shame they're leaving now."

By daring to bring up examples of ship hauling failures, I imply that I have an opposite view of the King's proposed operation. And I tried to preach the absurdity of Rhona, who should know the story best, trying to blossom back to the Holy City in this operation.

Having just said the opposite, I have decided that it would be a little excessive to overlap straightforward words here again.

Is Carmia satisfied with the answer or does it take to close this sideways story?

"... right now, maybe we're not talking about asking, is Lord Wilk being read more about that book? I only read up to Volume 5..."

"Yeah, I'm reading it. Because every time something new is published, it arrives at the castle.... To be honest, it is surprising that Lord Carmia had it in his hands. I was wondering if that was the extent to which they were out in Newnelly."

That's true, too, but I was surprised that I was following the series and loading it properly. There's a real minority of people around me who are looking forward to reading the issue of otherworldly history, and only enough to count. Were you reading it for the purpose of investigating the Qualdenze family?

"... Oh, and now volume six will be up to date. If you don't mind, I'll let you give it to me when I get back to Newnelly."

"Well, that's a very grateful story."

That's how closing the story was, Sardine threw a short inquiry.

"What an interesting story. I haven't read that book, is it that interesting?

Then Carmia shows you a little trick to think about, and then answers it.

"It's more of a strange book than an interesting one... Is it due to the author's way of thinking? Dream stories by dreamy pessimists, perhaps fascinated by some conflicting ideas."

You also wanted to prioritize your own talk over delving into this story as Sardine, without ever making an in-depth reference to Carmia's answer.

Once again, the topic returns to the Sacred Capital invasion plan.

"… Either way, the scale of the mobilisation will be unprecedented. I think there's a lot of concern about that."

"Not at all. Can you afford the Levios?"

Carmia makes an unusual point and Kilode makes a tough assessment.

Orcian was pinching nuts on a small plate. She's just adorable to eat.

Looking around, Dunkel looked at me.

"Yesterday, my father told the Marquis of Qualdenze about the future of the kingdom, he said. Do you know Lord Wilk?"

How soon did the other houses find out what the plan was? The Qualdenze family just heard the King's suggestion yesterday, so it cannot be said that they had enough time to scrutinize the contents.

"Yeah, my father told me last night."

"Really? What did Lord Wilk think of the proposal? Opinions such as yes or no, but also about manoeuvres, strategies, and big policies."

... Isn't there just a lot of questions for me?

However, it is possible that Prince Dunkel, who seems to be in political conflict with his father, King Levios, could cooperate with the Fani embargo. I also felt bad about clouding my tea with vague answers, mimicking Carmia.

Why don't we go with the sight appeal?

"As a final summary, may I speak with you as you confirm in turn? Anyway, that's a suggestion I just heard yesterday."

"Of course."

"Make sure you let me hear it. I'll answer any questions you might have."

When I showed him the attitude I was talking about, Dunkel and Sardine responded with all the answers.

"I say that the domination of the Umon Islands opens the way for St. Navenpos..."

The Umon Islands aristocrats receive support from some aristocrats in the Free Urban Group. The aim of the supporters is to obstruct the Zeldomitra family's southward march.

This proposed invasion of the Sacred Capital will go south via Zeldomitra territory. If you abandon the Umon Islands, there is a danger that the nobles of the Umon Islands, with more support than ever, will stab you in the back of the Allied Kingdoms.

By taking control of the Umon Islands as a prep, a war of aggression of peace and security can be waged by eliminating the worries of the hindsight. While understandable by reason, it's a little sloppy that the Zeldomitras gain a lot as a result.

"... can you also think enough that the operation is over just because the road has opened? The prolonged invasion of the islands is likely to change the continent."

"It's an invasion of the Umon Islands, but I was wondering if the invasion itself could be accomplished in a long, few months, less than a year, if only with simple control"

To see Sardine talk, he's apparently pretty confident in archipelago domination. Since we have been hostile for many years, do you think the other party has already mastered their power?

"As my Zeldomitra, I attach the utmost importance to sweeping away hostile forces from the Umon Islands. Of course, if the plan fails along the way, we're going to thank the house that helped provide the fleet."

If the plan stops in the preparatory phase, the Zeldomitras have promised to relinquish control of the Umon Islands. It seems that the present Marquis Zeldomitra will be interested in a new aristocracy with the Umon Islands as its territory after ceding the status of Lord to Sardine.

If the Zeldomitras are to occupy the Umon Islands alone, they will need to complete the plan.

The present Marquis of Zeldomitra is the real brother of the former Marquis of Zeldomitra. Sardine is the real son of the former Marquis Zeldomitra, so if he sees it from him, he is his uncle.

The same goes for the Quordenze family when they lost their grandmother Cassia, but when unexpected substitutions occur, they suddenly do not take the young next principals, and sometimes tentatively take families with name values. Buy yourself some time with a surrogate so you can't be nagged around.

The present Marquis of Zeldomitra, together with the former Marquis of Zeldomitra, had made quite a name for itself in the war of aggression against the group of free cities. When Sardine, still young, suddenly took the lead, he temporarily took the lead because his restraint against the group of free cities became weaker. In a few more years Sardine should be the Zeldomitra head of the family.

If the new aristocracy launched by the present Marquis of Zeldomitra were to occupy the Umon Islands, there would be conflicts with the Zeldomitras in the future. I'm guessing King Levios made a covenant to dare incite division by thinking about the area. It's an insurance policy that looks like the Levios, who were in a civil dispute with the Mirendorva family.

Even as the current Marquis of Zeldomitra, he would doubt his ambitions for independence, so he might work seriously for the success of the plan.

However, even considering them, the Zeldomitra family plans to make a lot of money in the short term. Well, it's natural to say it's the originator.

I couldn't help but say I hated Gucci about this, so I decided to move on for now.

"After we get rid of the worries of the hindsight, we wake up a coalition of kingdom nobles and crush the leading nobles of the group of free cities. An independent nobleman in close relationship with a militant priest, of course, who beats him. … those who have survived the war, even though there are many small and medium-sized aristocrats. I think he is a nobleman of Haiqian Mountain Thousand who has both one and two habits..."

The first person to receive that question was Dunkel.

"Surely, you are the ones who are good at survival. But they accepted the mediation of the truce in response to the call of the militant priests because they were exhausted by the prolonged battle."

And Sardine, who only saw the prince for a moment, connects words.

"There is a current situation in which they are also greatly diminishing their fighting power due to the scourge of El Senior. As we will explain in detail in the future, we have already grasped to the number of the lord ancestors of the aristocracy we have ordained as our enemies. There's no doubt that if we wake up the kingdom's coalition, we can overwhelm it in numbers."

Even though the aristocracy of the Free Cities group, can't you just tell me that the ancestral information of the other houses is Whee Whee? If the plan went blank, it would be a loss of teaching.

"I will not admit to surrender. I will attack thoroughly and annihilate the people...... I hear that is the kind of operation. Does that mean there's as much difference in power as you can make?"

The two of them agreed to the inquiry.

By severely destroying some of the aristocrats who are working with the militants, we show the Holy Capital. "It's your turn next," he said. The aristocrats who are killed in the show can only be described as miserable.

As I thought a little silently, the prince moved on.

"After the destruction of several independent aristocrats in the coalition, we will make a surrender recommendation to the Holy Capital via the priests of the faithful. It will fade, because the current Sacred Capital has not regained as much power as it can intercept the kingdom's coalition.... Most importantly, at this point, no Allied blades have yet arrived to the Holy City. Because there are many independent aristocrats left in between. You should only think of it as a threat..."

That's where I return the word.

"But practitioner priests won't want the stare to continue. The independent aristocrats who feared the kingdom's coalition should distance themselves from us and the priests. Then the Holy City will be isolated from its surroundings, and the people will dry up. And then there will be no more reconstruction or anything."

If you are a practitioner priest who is exerting his power in internal affairs and the economy, you are absolutely reluctant for that state to continue. That's why I'm not even single cell enough to think about a kingdom reverse invasion with a beating. A compromise should always be explored.

You were going to explain yourself when it came to the attack by the economy, and the prince looked at this one with a slightly surprised face.

"Yes, Lord Wilk is right. And if that happens, the practitioners will no longer have to come close to the faithful. Because the point of contact for negotiations will be Lord Rhona, who is in exile in the Kingdom. … there will be few priests who are outraged by the kingdom and turn to militants, but the sum of the pragmatists and the faithful greatly exceeds the majority"

Of course, it cannot be an unconditional surrender because we did not actually attack St. Navenpos. Conditions will be created for the surrender of content that will allow practitioners to have some hope.

"Was the condition for surrender the deprivation of the position of militant priest, the demand for hostages, and interference in the Holy Capital…? I'd like to hear more about it."

"Of course."

The disenfranchisement of militant priests is natural.... would defy surrender rather than engage thoroughly, and in some cases civil unrest may erupt in the Holy City. Practitioners and faithful with a majority will triumph, but militants with tstes in the Holy Army will not fall easily. Might fall together in a good way.... I feel that King Levios hopes that will be the case rather than...

And I'm saying the demand for hostages, but this will mean, in short, giving me the lord ancestral woman of the priesthood. The kingdom aristocracy is greatly reducing the number of lord ancestors due to the scourge of Elsinia, and they want so much that the daughter of the lord ancestor can get her hands out of her throat.

It's a hostage shape, so it doesn't follow the sides that make extra interference, and I can do whatever I want with the humiliation in my bedroom.

If the hostages are even large enough to get them out of any priestly house ok, it would be a stream to get them out of the house of militant priests who are a natural and minority. This condition of surrender also fuels civil strife in the Holy City.

"What exactly do you think interference with the Holy City is about?

"My father does not ask for particularly strong authority on the matter of interference. Because it doesn't actually dominate the land of St. Navenpos."

As my father told me, interference in the Holy City seems to be to an extent aside.

This operation will cause the Holy City to be confused and exhausted. In the end, however, it is difficult to interfere greatly, as the Allied forces plan not to enter the Holy Capital until the end.

According to Dunkel's view, it would just end with saying, "Do politics that prioritizes the faithful".

"Do practitioners truly trump militants?"

That's what I said, but I feel like cutting it off.

I think the faction full of mans that the Kingdom of Levios will never forgive is clearly out of the way, even from the same priest. I think it would be better to focus on home affairs and strive for an efficient reconstruction on Stoke than burn on that.

Blah, blah, if the Kingdom of Levios promises us the inviolability of the Holy City during the surrender, we're going to do the slimming of the Holy Army, too. Though there were also ramifications of the turmoil, the current Saint Army is said to be growing in size. You will want to devote more resources to reconstruction than conscription.

Then it would be more sensible to ride the faithful and drive out militants, a disturbing faction, to rebuild the Holy Capital.

It doesn't mean anything about what happens where you unite with militants. Say the faithful. There will be some civil strife because they will fight thoroughly...

"If you mean to be static, hostile, that's fine. When you take control of the Umon Islands, you'll be within reach of the South at any time."

"Right. Now let's be thorough with our harassment. You will not lose in a protracted battle."

Dunkel and Sardine had a bad grin.

At a time when the Kingdom of Levios has become a real threat to the Holy City, the Holy Army needs to remain nervous for much longer to come. In that case, military spending will naturally soar and militant priests will strengthen their voice now more than ever.

The Zeldomitra family, on the other hand, can afford to harass the surrounding group of free cities and even begin to adjust. Sooner or later, the Sacred Capital will collapse.

Assuming it holds up, the destination is an all-out war with the kingdom. If defeated, the Sacred Capital will be trampled without a trace.

"... I see. By the way, I have not heard, in what policy will the Zeldomitras be moved after the surrender of the Holy City?

If I had an answer, I'd be about lucky to ask, but Sardine gave me an answer while giving me a slightly troubled look.

"On King Levios's proposal, at dawn when the surrender of the Holy Capital is established, my Zeldomitra plans to modify the expansion route as well."

Under the King's plan, after the surrender of the Sacred Capital, he is to move in tune to incorporate the independent aristocrats of the Free Urban Group under the umbrella of the Kingdom. Apparently, both the Zeldomitras and the neighborhood have been well adjusted in the back.

If the Holy City were to have succumbed, it would also change its eyes on the kingdom of independent aristocrats. The impact of the fact that we took control of the Holy Capital is so great. The prestige lost in the El Senior disaster should also be revived once and for all.

"Is it good that King Levios focuses on the modulation of the group of free cities? Not the repression of the Holy Capital."

Dunkel answered my question yes.

I see, at the end of the day, the king hasn't really really thought about containing the Holy Capital. It would be good to see kingdom aristocracy in a group of free cities as the main objective.

When the Holy Capital regains its power somehow, it's going to be quite a hassle with independent aristocrats disturbing the southern part of the continent, as they do now. If you put it together as a kingdom aristocrat, you can make it an easy figure: noble VS priest.

As long as it belongs to a kingdom whose kingdom is the autonomous independence of the nobility, any priest who tries to interfere with it becomes an absolute enemy. By letting them share the same philosophy, they may be trying to counter the rebirth of the priest, which will come sooner or later.

Besides, the fertile earth of the Belmana region does not disappear from the earth, assuming that it has destroyed the Zeth Holy High Council. Then it is possible that I thought it would be easier to manage it if a known force called the Priest existed for me as a virtual enemy country. The Levios family is a house that hates priests, but it also means that it is a house that knows priests well.

... rather than one of the reasons for the kingdom's existence disappears when the priesthood is completely gone. I honestly don't feel very good about that.

The cause of the "autonomy of the aristocracy", which has lost its place, may eventually turn to the kingdom, the royal family. Perhaps the most desirable result for the Levios family, too, remains a group of priests with the power there.

"This is the case with the proposed invasion of the Holy City advocated by my father, King Levios. Is there anything else you'd like to ask me?

Frankly, it also sounded like a declaration that I would answer anything I wanted to hear.

Then I'll make sure I cared.

"There was no mention of the treatment of the Mamshred and Rick Arga regions, but what is happening around them"

This is a part that my father didn't hear in particular either.

"We have never had any particular contact with the emerging Rick Arga coalition, and we have no plans to do anything with this operation. We might consider that treatment around the time the Holy City surrenders."

Well, as things stand, it's a distant force with no contact, and I can't help thinking much about it.

Things like considering responses after the free urban group of independent aristocrats is in a phase that begins to descend into the kingdom?

"And so is the Mumshredded Federation. This is also a remote area blocked by Lake Meo and the Angata Mountains."

Like previous priests and nobles, this one seems to be an abandoned route. It is indifferent that if the specialty product is delivered occasionally in a transaction, otherwise it should be on its own.

He had predictions, but he still doesn't care about these regions in particular.

I guess my father didn't ask the king because he didn't care, and he didn't tell me because he didn't care. It's weirder to worry about this.

"... I see. Okay."

"That was good. So, what will Lord Wilk think of this plan? Could you give me your opinion without abomination?"

"Right...... I guess the operation itself is easy to accept. If you are a very common, ordinary kingdom aristocrat"

The Umon Islands offensive is basically carried out by the Zeldomitra family alone, and the Levios and Mirendorva and Evenapis families only lend their ships. The Qualdenze need to break their bones, too, as they will need some kind of support if they are to lend large quantities of military vessels from the port of Hartinos.

In other words, speaking only of the Umon Islands offensive, it is still in the pre-operative phase, and from the royal nobility of the kingdom, we are merely looking at it. Do it on your own, there must be a lot of people who think.

The ensuing mass assault on independent aristocrats is also an end story if you show your face and soldiers to the degree of affection for now, as the Levios and Zeldomitras will lead the way. Regardless of the enemies with the same degree of power, a unilateral lynch would not be so repellent.

To be clear, there is little to do in the case of the common kingdom aristocracy. It will cost you to troop out, but depending on the negotiations, the daughter of the Lord ancestors will be available, and you will be able to sell your grace to the Levios family.

"One thing I wondered, what is the cause of this war going to put up"

Although the Kingdom of Levios has lost some momentum, it is still a group of people who are making themselves say buoys around. On the strong side, you can cling to as many names as you want.

In fact, my father said there was no story around from King Levios. He said yesterday's talks were dominated by policy explanations and operational commentaries, as well as profit adjustments.

Dunkel grinned, looking the other way around to ask this one.

"It can be either self-defence against the threat of priests who are regaining power beyond our expectations, restraint to prevent the spread throughout the kingdom of destruction by priests that has occurred in our Levios territory in recent years, or the conquest of priests, whose kingdom is the kingdom of the kingdom. Expanded interpretation and application of the joint retaliation agreement would be nice. But it should probably be inclusive of them. The thought of my father appeared, it could be a great deal.... If you were Lord Wilk, what good would you do?

He is a prince who, no matter how nominal he may be, is quite a mess.

Still, I see, is that a big deal? From what I've heard so far, there's only one thing that comes to mind.

"One last thing. Allied forces in the kingdom, but what are you going to call them?

It's the Royal Levios Army.

I smiled at the answer and then answered the prince's question.

"Then the great cause listed is the end of the turmoil. Wouldn't it be interesting if you struck out this big?

"... well. That's going to be a good cause."

This is my idea, but I think King Levios' ultimate goal is at the end of the turmoil.

That is self-evident considering what will remain if this plan is all successfully completed.

The Zeldomitras will abandon invasionism, and the free urban groups in the south will come under the umbrella as kingdom nobles. Previously a grey position, the independent aristocrats of the Free Urban Group would become distant from the Holy City by belonging to the Kingdom. Almost everything but St. Navenpos will be anointed with the colours of the kingdom.

Since the kingdom nobles have an inviolable covenant with each other, war will disappear from the eastern part of the continent and the southern part of the continent.

At the same time, this means that preparations for the threat of the Jinker En Empire are complete.

Until the Quordenze rebelled against the Empire, the Levios were frightened by the threat of the Zinker En Empire. The forces that could move on a single rock, culminating in the emperor, were nothing but a threat to the kingdom, which was only a collection of aristocrats.

I guess this time I'm trying to create an operational track record for the "Royal Levios Army" because I haven't forgotten that fear. It is very significant to be able to say when something happens in the future: "At that time the kingdom nobles united to form a kingdom army and defeated the enemy". If, in future, an emperor with a leadership in the empire stood and stripped his fangs of the kingdom, he could bring up this precedent and appeal for unity.

… However, realizing the "Levios Royal Army" this time will be a challenging challenge.

Either way, if the King's plan succeeds, the force map will be interesting. The kingdom is much more vast than the empire.

Whether the emperor is willing to invade, he will hesitate to attack a kingdom that will be a greater force than himself. On the other hand, it is difficult for the Kingdom side, which is supposed to be dominant, to unite for aggression anyway if it is to defend itself. Naturally, the autonomy of the nobility is the country.

It is the subtle lack of solidarity that prevails on the part of the Kingdom, which creates the possibility that there will be no more wars from this continent.

Achieving this will require excellent political skill and diplomatic skills, a sense of balance and coordination and, above all, strong will.

It gives me interest not only in the revival of the royal prestige, but also in the future of the kingdom, as well as in the size of King Levios's vessels, which I contemplate until the future of the continent. Yes, King Levios is a tenacious politician.

If all the plans succeed, or the "Greater Levios Kingdom" is born, the kingdom nobility ceases to wage war. Not to wage war means there is no room for territorial spread.

But there are exceptions among kingdom nobles. The Levios and Atelahans.

These two houses are free to cut any unexplored land that no nobleman possesses: the land of fog.

Earlier the Athelahans said something that seemed to have some merit in riding the king's proposal. I am wondering if this is about entering the land of fog.

The city of Zareazelia is adjacent to the land of mist across the Worcold River. It is a "fighting city" that has been attacked by mature warcraft many times before. If we can fortify the land across the river, it should be a shield to protect our home base. Though dirty with dirt, if we continue to protect against warcraft, any of them will be naturally purified and will also be a land where people can live. That should also prepare you for famine.

Yes, the Atherahans are already in a state of trails where territorial expansion is not possible. The only way to obtain a large plot of land suitable for food production is to leave the kingdom and attack and destroy the neighboring kingdom aristocrats, or to pioneer the land of fog.

Many times before, the Levios have marched to the land of fog, calling it the Great Expedition of the North. The Levios are quite aggressive in exploring the land of mist.

Nothing. The Levios army is not marching to provide me with elf sex slavery. They are investigating the land and crusading the rebellious local population. That is nothing more than a willingness to pioneer and govern this land in the future.

I don't know if the Atelahans have even gotten around to the northern expedition, but what if the Levios made a joint proposal here to develop the North? Only the Levios and Atelahan families, and then some aristocrats facing the Workold River, can monopolize the land of fog.

This would appear in a very attractive proposal if we considered keeping the house for a long time as an aristocrat, although not a readily available benefit.

If the real threat is only to the Empire, then the land development of fog by the Levios family should also proceed once and for all.

... This could be used to convince the Mirendorva family to negotiate material. The Mirendorva family is surrounded by kingdom nobles and trails.

King Levios is a tenacious politician.

Because I understand that it is the future without war that has its own development.

"Will this plan succeed or fail? What do you say? Lord Carmia."

He said my silence made the conversation swing around again. Carmia answers Sardine's question.

"When it comes to the operation itself, didn't I just say half the success failures? Of course, there are many concerns, but Lord Rhona..."

I didn't think you were such a head flying person...... all those present immediately guessed that Carmia would have wanted to say that.

"...... but if you say that you will be greatly damaged because you have failed, then that is not the case"

Keeping the words cloudy, Carmia summed them up so.

Well, it would be about Zeldomitra and Levios who would lose money. The royal prestige, which has recovered slightly from Wangdu socialisation, can be worn out.

But still less damage if seen as a Levios family. It only takes damage as a royal family.

Because what we do in this operation, in the end, is we just beat the weak to death in a group and blackmail our surroundings.

And even from what Carmia said, the Athelahans could see that they were willing to pay for the proposed invasion of the Sacred Capital. I don't know if that's her own idea, or if it's due to the idea of Marquis Atherahan, or Crowne again.

Nevertheless, the essence of this proposal, or I do not think that is the biggest challenge. I checked with my father once around here, so I can speak with confidence.

I feel like I've been talking too much since earlier, but it would be easier to take the lead by making money when I can make a statement.

I coughed gently, gathered my gaze, and showed him a trick to tread back a little.

"Isn't that a previous story about thinking about the success or failure of an operation? That's not the point of greatest concern."

Surprisingly, the first person to react was Novalf.

"What the hell is that? What does Lord Wilk think is of the utmost concern?

I don't think he really understands my language. But the reply was a good one.

I dared say so, as to show confidence.

"Of course, that's not the plan."
