Episode 3: Reliability and Trust * 2

"... so to sum it up, 'the Argents keep almost all the soldiers in the Mansion on expedition.'"

Prince Aureus will report that to us.

... yeah.

I wonder what that means...

When I sneak up on Faye to explain, Faye sneaks up and tells me.

"You mean you're keeping the Mansion to a minimum and even putting soldiers at the edge of the Argent collar?"

"Yeah."

"So, the expansion of territory or the opening of territory...The soldiers have cut through the forest, they have visited the farmers, they have supervised the opening, they have put them together in a report and put them out in a bird's note, but that's all I have to say... well, I guess they went there. "

Finished.

In other words, did Argent want to expand or open territory anyway...?

... I don't know why. No, I have no idea.

"I wonder what that means. You mean there's something at the end of the territory?But that kind of talk didn't come out of the soldiers.... "

Mm-hmm. We'll all roar.

... no. Pass.

"The royal statement will be announced this evening.The announcement that we have recognized the independence of the Union of Nobles and have decided to cooperate with each other as independent institutions... and the announcement that Argent family members have sworn out swords in the castle and tried to harm the king. "

Then Prince Aureus said so.... are you planning to announce it, or is the prince preparing it instead of the king?Hmm, I'm not from the aristocracy union, but this could mean that we're close to giving up.Ah, no, I'm not saying bad things about the king, but I wonder if the handover of business has begun, in that sense.

"Speak verbally to the people in the square.It has already been announced that there is a statement from the royal family at the heart of King's Landing.We should also send out a letter to each territory.What about you guys? "

"Then let's align ourselves with that.Our announcement is mainly in writing.I would like to hear from the prince that he made peace with the royal family. "

Faye's father is somehow entertained.I think people who are good at this kind of thing enjoy this kind of thing.Maybe if I were Faye's father, I'd just have a stomach ache.At least this isn't for me. [M]

"I can see how Argent reacts."

"That's right, I can't predict it.You won't be judged to truncate Ruggylos Zeil Argent into a boulder.We will not abandon the blood clan that we have established as a 'brave man'.In the first place, there must have been some sort of feeling in the very fact that I sent Ruggylos.... "

... well, I mean, it's just a match.I want to know what Argent is up to next.

Hmm... I think the Argent family's purpose is definitely to gain an advantage in the country or to be independent like a federation of nobles... but I have no idea what they're trying to do for it, so it's kind of weird...

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Corn."

"We're really not good at this kind of work...."

"When I'm working with my wings, I can finally see people apart!"

... yes.

So I'm also helping with the sealing up of House Redgard.

It's the job of folding the documents that you put out everywhere neatly, putting them in an envelope, sealing them...

I noticed that the wings moved freely, so I used both wings in addition to my hands to work.The wings can't be used like fingertips, but it's extremely convenient to hold them down a little or to shape them a little bit.

"It's a really unrealistic sight, this slightly clear feather is passing through the light, and you're working so delicately while touching it...."

Ugh, shut up.

"That's good. I praise you."

By the way, Lyla is pushing the wax next to me.It would be good to share the work more efficiently.

"Ma, isn't that nice?I feel like corn is becoming human enough to use that feather like corn. "

"Well, then, corn. Next time you draw with a paintbrush with wings."

"No, the paintbrush with wings is a bit of a boulder... ah, but I could hold the palette.When my hands were free, I was able to concentrate on the tip of the brush, and I thought that was fine.It's so weird that I'm not used to it yet. "

"Have you already used it...? I can only say boulders....."

... so while we enjoy seeing the feathers moving in a dexterity way, we will proceed with the sealing work with pleasure.Faye and the others seem to be hard at handwriting sentences, but I'm a little happy because I like this kind of work.

"Ahhh! Wrong typo again!"

"Fei, don't panic, just calm down.Absolutely, you're in a hurry..... "

"Father, that's the wrong name."

Hey!

"Hey, Daddy's in a hurry!"

... and then I can see how Faye and the others are getting along, and this is a little fun.

So, in the evening, letters sealed by us and Prince Aureus were transported by the birds of each castle.The birds carrying letters from King's Landing have beautiful coloured feathers that look golden and yellow.It is beautiful inside that birds fly all at once under the sunset sky.

Well, next thing you know, we're going to make an announcement in the square.

"Prince, please be careful.If Argent's men want your lives, it's definitely time to announce them in the square. "

"Oh, you know.I will be on full alert. "

That's right. They're announcing it outside the castle, and there may be assassinations there.

I'll be careful.No, I don't know what happens when I'm careful.

So, at night.

In the square, magic stone lamps sparkle and illuminate the square brightly.When the lamps shake, the shadows shake, and for several lamps, the shadows overlap several times, kind of a strange view.

In the meantime, a lot of people are gathered... and the King starts to make a statement on the central podium.

"Hey, it's a historic moment."

While watching the King standing on the podium, Faye's face was clear.... yes, a historic moment.

"... speaking of which, Laocles. Are you wearing armor?"

"I don't know if Argent's gonna do anything about it."

And at the same time, it's a pretty tense moment.

At this moment, the Argents might do something.

... and the Royal Soldiers, and Princess Large is in a perfect position with plenty of Summon Beast gems, so there's nothing to worry about.

As we watch our surroundings and wait for that time... eventually, the king starts talking.

"Er... gentlemen, nothing else came together today.I have a major announcement for you. "

When the King starts talking like that, the people of the King's City stare at the King like, "What is it?" "It's finally starting."

"As you all know, the aristocracy around King's Landing has recently intensified its rebellion against the royal family, sometimes behaving roughly, or despising the royal family....."

... and when the king starts talking like that, Prince Aureus and Princess Large, who were standing beside him, then other princes and princesses stare at the king.The stared king coughed up in a bit of a hurry and went on talking.

"... but at the same time, it is also true that the royal family has behaved violently and despised the nobles."

The king seemed a little dissatisfied, but he said so properly.

And the people of the kingdom groaned.I didn't think the King would say this.

"The trenches between us are deep, and the walls between us are high.I'm sure you all know about the Spirit's Wall, which was born suddenly to Redgard Soleira, but it seems that such a wall was created between the royal family and the nobles. "

... I looked at the King with a little thoughts on my wall, which seems to be named the "Spirit's Protective Wall".Did the King notice me, look at me for a moment, then blinked a few times with a complicated face... and finally announced it.

"This trench, this wall, is hard to remove at the earliest.After a meeting with the nobles, the royal family decided that it was difficult to be together.Therefore, the royal family decided... to recognize the independence of the nobles from the state. "

... as soon as the King announced so, a groan spread into the square.Well, from the people of King's Landing, it must be quite a shock.

"But don't worry, my relationship with the Alliance of Nobles is excellent.We were able to have peaceful relations with each other.The Royal Family and the Union of Nobles will work together as separate institutions for a better future. "

The King's explanation seemed not to have reached the people at the moment.According to the people of King's Landing, 'the country they live in loses its power' is the most problematic.

I don't think it's impossible to be confused because people who live there may change their daily routine, or their standard of living may decrease, or their lives may become unstable.

"Be quiet!... and then there's another serious report..."

I think that's what the King was going to say while the people were bothering him... and then he was going to say, "The Argents are attacking us."

However, there was no further discussion.

Because the screams went up.

When people gather and scream in the cluttered square, you get noticed.However, because there are a lot of people, I don't know the source of the scream well, and I don't know what's going on.

... but then someone screamed.

"Oh no! Royal soldiers are attacking people!"

At once, the square is confused.

Someone said, "Run! As soon as I shouted, more and more people came out of the square, and everyone was moving at once, so everyone couldn't move well.

I wonder what the hell is going on.

As I gazed... I saw a royal soldier swing his sword in a tight motion.

"Go!"

When Fai screamed sharply, the red dragon and the fire elite appeared and immediately attacked the royal soldiers.Soon the soldiers were captured and fell on the spot without hurting anyone.

"Damn, what the hell is going on!"

Looking around, royal soldiers were pulling their swords and attacking people everywhere.... but they all seem to be surprised by their own behavior, with their movements.

"... that's not good."

Crowe looked around... and he told me.

Corn-san!

"Ok! I'll get them now!"

And when I take out the painting materials...

"No... seal this square."

That's what Mr Crowe said.

"... that's what Argent was after."

When I saw Crowe's unusual and impatient expression, I realized... yes, it was bad.

"Don't let the people get away like this!Of course, I can't hurt you, but... if you don't find out what's going on and explain it properly, the royal family will have tried to gather the crowd together and kill you!And... I can't regain my lost credibility anymore! "
