"First of all, the reason for having the Buick Housekeeper present here. That's why former Admiral Dodge came to our country."
Sylvester hits his desk hard.
You pulled it out as retaliation!
"No, Your Highness. That's not true. I did it for you."
"What the hell! How stupid!
Had he worn a sword, Sylvester would have cut Isaac.
I was so angry.
"You can't handle Marshal Dodge. I took it back because it was a possession of treasure."
But Isaac, who was being hit by anger, was calm.
"If you listen to me, I'm sure you'll understand. Stay with me for a while."
That way, Isaac looks at Gary.
"I understand that the matter that the Housekeeper of Buick gave me is an explanation, but is there any mistake?
"Exactly. I have been instructed to explain to you that I did not despise Lord Enfield by mistake."
Really? I'm sorry you came so far, but you don't have to. That was a trick to trouble the Buick Housekeeper. "
"Oh my God!
Gary was surprised when she opened her eyes.
It wasn't temporary.
While Isaac explained that "it was meant to make the position of the Marquis of Buick worse within the Kingdom of Rockwell," he kept opening his eyes and mouth to surprise.
No, he's not the only one.
All the people who were here showed their surprises.
The Reed kingdom side says, "Can I talk about it? I was surprised.
"If the credibility of the newly appointed Buick Housekeeper is lost, the reform movement will be slow. While we work on reform, the Fartil Kingdom is at peace, and the Lead Kingdom will not send reinforcements. I thought it was a good way for the Kingdom of Rockwell and a good way for the Kingdom of Lead. I can buy time with just one mouth."
Sylvester and the others were trying to say something, but his mouth just moved.
I wonder if the words of anger don't come out much.
Just in time, Isaac tries to keep talking before he gets interrupted.
"I thought that was the right thing to do as a nobleman in the Reid Kingdom. But my grandfather, Marquis Welrod, and my father, Count Sanders, were angry. You can do such a thing when you're an adult. Do what you think is right as a person, not as a nobleman when you are still young."
The conversation has changed, and everyone's eyes are on Morgan and Randolph.
Of course, I've never been scolded like that.
This was a creation to fulfill Elias's impudent request.
There was no upset between the two because they had been consulted beforehand.
"Regardless of what happened to Felix, Buick Housekeeper was trying to improve his relationship with the Reid Kingdom. As long as it's war time, it's not like doing it normally. I was scolded so hard. I thought I was right, and instead of apologizing to Buick Housekeeper, I wanted to support the reform. That was the ex-commanders' invitation."
"Why would Marshal Dodge's withdrawal be good for our country?
"I didn't expect Felix to bring the Marshal before Dodge. I ordered the troop commander class to pull out and told the senior officials not to take it out. So it was a complete miscalculation regarding the ex-Madam Dodge's solicitation. Now, why did you invite me....."
There is a big difference between "Dodge was pulled out when he was the Marshal" and "invited after he left the Marshal."
Remember to highlight the "former Marshal".
"To explain, I'm going to put a few soldiers in the room. Don't worry, I don't have any weapons."
According to Isaac, the guard knight opened the door.
Three general soldiers entered the room.
Everyone stood against the wall in an upright position through their spine without shaking their body, even though they were nervous.
Sylvester and the others said, "What are you going to do?" and watched the situation with a questionable expression.
I don't think they'll attack me.
The Rockwell Kingdom side is also bringing in the elite Kimikaze.
"Soldiers, who are your superiors?
"I'm General Fitzgerald!
Three soldiers answered in one voice.
Isaac laughed bitterly at this because the answer was different.
"That was a bad way to ask. Who comes to mind the first time someone asks you who you are, not the most senior officer in the system?
Isaac asked me again, and now the soldiers were upset.
Without moving their bodies, they talk with only their eyes.
And one of the delegates answers.
I'm the captain.
"Is that because I've been dealing with you all the time?
"That's right."
"If I was told to fight, would I fight for my life?
"Of course it is!
"Thank you. You're going to help me settle my diplomatic problems with the Kingdom of Rockwell. You can back off."
"Ha!... excuse me."
--Why does this question lead to a diplomatic solution?
The soldiers wondered, but one soldier couldn't ask, so they left the room silently.
After they left the room, they were hanging their necks with their colleagues.
"Now, what matters here is, 'Who do the soldiers think they are?' The marshals and generals are also superiors, but the first thing they think of when they say superiors is the captain who leads them directly. And I said," Who's up there? If I was asked, I would think of my father and grandfather before I think of His Majesty and the Chancellor. I think of someone closer to me than someone at the apex. "
Isaac replaces himself with a joke, but no one around him reacts.
Everyone looks to me and says, "Don't do that. Talk to me first."
"Buick Housekeeper's idea of 'enriching the civilian population will increase national strength' is wonderful. I am confident that in five or ten years we will begin to see results. Future generations will surely admit that everyone was right.... so what about those who live now? It is not clear at this stage whether or not results will be achieved. What do you think of those who lose their jobs at a time of uncertainty?
"That's... for the country. They will endure it."
Sylvester and the others noticed a hole in the policy of the Marquis de Buick.
And what Isaac is going to say.
"I don't think so. Felix tells me no one's been fired for being a noble commander. I fired all the civilian commanders while fighting for reform for the civilian population. Can you believe what Buick Housekeeper Rockwell says? Even one of them said," The royal family favors all the nobles while saying it's for the people. What they say is a lie. Take your weapon. I'll remind you of those cowards. "
It goes without saying what will happen.
Even the uprising of civilians, mainly peasants and miners, was taking time to suppress.
If the army builds up, it will take more time to crack down.
Moreover, those who sympathize with their companions cannot be said to turn back or disobey the order of repression.
The scale of the confusion should be something I don't want to think about.
"The policy shift of the Buick Household is necessary for the future of the Kingdom of Rockwell. The aristocrats may have criticized it quite a bit, but I highly appreciate it. But I have seen too much of the future and not the present. So, as an apology to the Marquis of Buick, we decided to take over the flames of strife in the Marquis of Welrod. Without the soldiers, there will be no great confusion. So I ordered Felix to solicit the dismissed unit commander and sent him out."
--Isaac was trying to extinguish the spark of civil unrest in Rockwell Kingdom.
Sylvester and the others breathed in an unexpected response.
Elias, who had heard the story beforehand, was listening to Isaac so much that he almost believed that it was true.
"Well, then, what did you pull out of Admiral Dodge? Confusion occurs when there is no one to assemble the army. I think it's the end of the fall."
Sylvester's question was correct.
But Isaac was talking to Dodge about it.
"I resigned in protest against disarmament. And I wanted to serve Lord Enfield for the Kingdom of Rockwell."
"Why?! Why is leaving our country for our own good?
Dodge himself says, "I left the Kingdom of Rockwell for the country."
Of course, Sylvester asked for the reason.
"'If the marshal leaves the country, can we serve other countries? to remind those who were laid off.' Many of them were psychologically resistant to serving in the Reed Kingdom, the opponent of the sword. In order to make it easier for them to leave the country, I first needed to show my intention to leave the country."
Dodge's explanation is "to send disturbed elements out of the country."
Isaac created this too.
He was more comfortable accepting Isaac's confession than "for the money."
On the way, I was succeeding in keeping my mouth shut for questioning from Sylvester.
I didn't know the truth, so I was able to tell you the real reason.
"Though the decision of former Admiral Dodge was unexpected, I also have a certain appreciation. Even if someone displeased with Rockwell's royal family appears in the future, they will want to leave the country before they think about rebelling. Not everyone can keep up with radical reforms. The greater the transformation, the greater the dissatisfaction of those who suffer disadvantage. The approach taken by former Admiral Dodge was also an effective way to prevent a domestic rebellion."
Isaac also helps Dodge.
However, it is not unconditional.
"But as long as it's the Commander class, it's troublesome that the Marshal class moved in without prior notice. It seems that the resignation meant a protest against disarmament... At that time, it seems like I pulled it out of harassment of the Rockwell Kingdom. There is no point in apologizing to the Buick Houses and upsetting the Rockwell kingdoms. I'm sorry to hear that you wanted to do something a little more grounded."
With a bitter smile, Isaac shrugs his shoulders.
Isaac's "I'm really in trouble" attitude came true because it was truly unexpected about Dodge, which made Sylvester and the others feel compelled.
"But... If that were true, could you have informed His Majesty?
"I can't do that. Young people from other countries who are not even adults yet. Could I have listened very carefully, pointing out that there are holes in your country's policies?
"That's...."
Isaac pointed it out, and Sylvester mouthed.
I'm sure I couldn't.
This reform has put the country's destiny at risk.
I don't want to be spoken out to by people from other countries.
- Especially for Isaac.
Although the power is recognized, it is a different matter of credibility.
I bet you didn't listen to Isaac because you thought there was something behind it.
Behind the words is the human habit of the Marquis of Welrod.
Isaac's words, said to be the strongest in history, would have been unbelievable.
I'm still confused as to how far I can trust you.
If so, couldn't you just let the Buick Housekeeper know?
Gary looked unfortunate and said, "I wouldn't have done this if only he had told me."
"That's the most inappropriate thing to do. If you let me know, Buick Housekeeper will be an accomplice to the solicitation. Then Buick Housekeeper's position will be worse when my actions are revealed. This was just something I personally did as an apology. It would have been 'annoying to hire a fired commander'."
Isaac's words make sense.
It would be foolish to involve the Marquis of Buick if it were true that he did it on his own initiative to apologize.
If a problem emerges like this, he will be blamed as an accomplice.
Then it's just harassment, not an apology.
--That's why I didn't let you know.
Having said that, I thought of words such as complaints and complaints, but I didn't think of legitimate objections.
"His Highness Sylvester. Both Felix and former Marshal Dodge, the governor has given up to his son. Not only them, but also the rest of the aristocrats' families remain in the Kingdom of Rockwell. My heart remains committed to the Kingdom of Rockwell. I left the country ready to be pointed at as a traitor. I won't believe it, but believe in their readiness. Please don't waste their spirit of self-sacrifice."
Isaac made the last push.
They have a family left behind in their homeland.
That means if you betray the Kingdom of Rockwell, your family will be killed.
I can't betray you enough to inflict serious damage while you're still holding hostages.
Even if Isaac's words could not be believed, Felix's actions were believable.
"... what happens to Marshal Dodge in the Reid Kingdom?
Sylvester shook himself.
It was difficult to get Dodge back, so there was a retreat.
At least I wanted to keep myself at bay.
"My tutor seems reasonable. The impact on your country will be huge if I am under my command. I intend to pay half of my noble pension and have you stay as a military scholar. I'm thinking for a few years."
"What is the reason for that period?
"It depends on the situation in the Kingdom of Rockwell, but I hope you will return someday. Along with other commanders."
Isaac smiles to reassure Sylvester.
"If we can bring the army back to its previous size, we will need experienced commanders. I will leave a spark until then. Not a spark of strife, but a protective fire for the Kingdom of Rockwell."
Faces on the Rockwell Kingdom side shut their mouths tightly.
I don't know how to react anymore.
I can still protest.
But I said, "Are you sure you want to protest?".
Whatever the answer, it's not a good idea to make a decision right now.
I needed time to think about what to do.
― ― By folding the unexpected story, you push your thoughts to a stop.
This was Isaac's aim.
But in this situation, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Rockwell moves.
"Speaking of which, Your Majesty. You think it's going to be Lord Jason's graduation soon?"
Hmm.
"We would also like to convey a congratulatory message on the day. May I?
Suddenly, the content of the story changed dramatically.
And Elias said, "What's going on? I thought," But I knew what he wanted to say right away.
"Of course. A congratulatory messenger has already arrived from a friendly country. I would appreciate it if His Highness Sylvester would show his face on behalf of His Majesty Garrett."
"Thank you! We celebrate this day with all our hearts and minds!
(Hey, what are you doing?!
Isaac was crushed by Elias with the aim of stopping the Rockwell Kingdom from intervening.
If you look at Jason's ugliness at the graduation ceremony, you might think it's a chance.
If you don't return to your country soon, you'll be in trouble.
But I couldn't say "no" when I said "for the Marquis of Buick, for the Kingdom of Rockwell."
--The Rockwell Kingdom Mission came to celebrate Jason's graduation.
There is a big difference if there is no such name.
Now that I've heard Isaac's story, I can't force Dodge back.
Nevertheless, once you go back to the country and consult with them, you go back and say, "What did you do?".
And that's not a domestic problem in the Kingdom of Rockwell.
People from other countries in King's Landing also said, "What are they doing here? You'll wonder,
At that time, if you hear the fact that "I came to protest, but I went home wonderfully without being able to get back the Dodge," the surrounding countries will laugh at me.
For the sake of the Kingdom of Rockwell, for the sake of Sylvester, I wanted to keep my track record as a friendly messenger.
Elias saw through the idea.
That's why I accepted it pleasantly.
Believe that is the right attitude as a wise king.
"You must be surprised to hear Lord Enfield. The graduation ceremony is a week away. In the meantime, I have time to think about it. You may speak with Master Dodge. You can talk to Lord Enfield. It is not necessary to decide only what is going to happen, only what is going on here."
Elias speaks kindly to Sylvester.
"... I can't help it."
Sylvester puts his hand around his eyes and tries to endure tears that are about to spill.
This is not remorse for having taken a solo sumo.
If the opposite were true, Sylvester would have tried to extract a favorable deal to feed the Reid Kingdom.
But Elias didn't.
I felt like I lost the size of Elias's vessel.
However, the difference from his vessel was too great to feel sorry for losing.
As a royal, as a man, I couldn't help regretting it.
