"Count Fosbury, it is clear that Damien is cooperating with His Highness Jason.The Viscount Fosbury will wear the stigma of a traitor.Are you willing to stigmatize it? "
"Yes! Let me do it!"
I didn't tell you what you wanted me to do, but Count Fosbury ate me.
Isaac didn't laugh at this either.
No one could laugh at his desperation if he understood the state he had been placed in.
Isaac is no exception.
I took his feelings seriously.
"That's a reliable word. Then rely on Damien's hand to stop by His Highness Jason."
"Eh, to His Highness Jason!"
"Yes, can't you?"
"No, I'll do it."
Neither does Countess Fosbury.
However, it was a problem to get close to each other.
He had no intention of stopping by Jason.
Doing so would lead to rumors of "unfaithful people who have forgotten their gratitude to His Majesty".
It was easier for me to ask you to do yourself harm on the spot.
--But we have to do it.
Because I'm not at the point where I can already say what my pride is.
"Given the character of Count Fosbury, it would be like suffering from hell.But it is also to atone for Damian sins.I want you to accept it. "
"Why don't you go with His Highness Jason and spy on him?"
"It's close, but a little different."
Viscount Fosbury couldn't understand what Isaac was saying.
"Does not that mean calling on His Highness Jason?"
"That's not true. Count Fosbury, don't do this because it's unlikely to be suitable for spying.All you need to do is support Admiral Fitzgerald.As Countess Fosbury approaches His Highness Jason, so will those who wish to use Damien's hand to be clever.Attract and list them and report them to Admiral Fitzgerald.They will not be persuaded as untrustworthy. "
I see, so you're making it easier to sort your enemies and allies.
Knowing what Isaac was trying to do, Count Fosbury is convinced.
It is painful to deceive people.
Moreover, the opponent is a colleague and is an act to choose a person who is known to be solemnized as a Jason.
But Damien's sins are indemnifiable.
It was painful, but I had to do it.
"Wait, are you sure you're okay with that role, Count Fosbury?"
Marshal Fitzgerald is waiting for Isaac's proposal.
"Whatever you say, he is a man known for his rigidity.Don't you think you can stand by His Highness Jason? "
"You should be worried about that.But that's why it works.A selfish person who thinks, "If only Count Fosbury had turned back, so would I."An opportunistic person. It should attract their interest.It'll be okay if you do it after the coronation. "
"After the coronation... After we recognized His Highness Jason as our new king....."
Before and after the coronation, the situation will change dramatically.
― ― All leading figures in the Reid Kingdom supported Jason.
That would create an atmosphere in which we would have no choice but to recognize Jason as our new king.
Still, I don't think a man like Count Fosbury would change his saddle, but I can't say at all.
At least the careless will move.
Not only those who focus on "selling charm to Jason rather than loyalty to Elias," but also those who make imprudent moves, cannot reveal their plans.
Either way, you can burn out those who shouldn't (...) be on your side.
It was a no-loss proposal.
"As an excuse, say, 'I think he's a stupid son, but he's still cute.'"
"Is it because you are not likely to betray me that the shock of betraying me is great?"
"Some people may be suspicious and immobile, but when they are persuaded to be on their side, they will also realize which is more advantageous.I wonder if there's anyone to report to Lord Jason. "
The effect is great when it works.
That's understandable to Admiral Fitzgerald.
I just couldn't imagine him betraying me just knowing who I was with Count Fosbury.
However, if the nobles, such as 4W, follow Jason, I think it may be difficult to be suspected.
"It depends on the performance of Viscount Fosbury.Dedicate your allegiance to His Highness Jason as the new King.And I'm on my side to protect my son.Even if we show ourselves welcoming a new king, it will be seen by those with hearts and minds... can you? "
"I'll do it! Let me do it!"
It is my responsibility to fail to educate Damien.
Count Fosbury is willing to risk his life.
The attitude was beyond doubt.
I thought that everyone would play the role entrusted to them.
Isaac moved on.
"I'd like to ask Uncle Adams something, but before I do, I'd like to ask you something.Do you have a budget for next year? "
"Not officially because I haven't received Your Majesty's judgment yet, but it's a big deal.However, the budget for invading the Kingdom of Rockwell cannot be carried forward.It is extremely difficult to squeeze out the budget just to continue the occupation for a long time, even if it is temporary. "
Count Adams explains what Isaac wants to hear ahead of time.
Even when they sent reinforcements to the Fartil Kingdom, they were in deficit.
If you do an expedition to the Rockwell Kingdom ahead of you, you will definitely pay more than you did last time.
Moreover, if you occupy it, the expense is not the ratio of the expedition.
I was going to say "no" as someone who knew the financial situation.
But Isaac didn't think as seriously as he thought.
"I really don't intend to attack the Kingdom of Rockwell, so I'd appreciate it if you could spare me a budget that would allow me to move the Royal Army for a month or two."
"But are you going to be suspicious because you're going to have to estimate a smaller budget for the army?"
"Make it up."
"What about it?"
Isaac let go of an outrageous word.
Count Adams was surprised by his round eyes.
"So fabricate the numbers on the paperwork.Lord Jason doesn't know how much money he has in the treasury either.All we have to do is believe the numbers on the papers.Wouldn't it be easier for the Clerk to have his subordinates calculate the budgets needed to send troops and capture them, and create a document that they can do it? "
"I can do that. Yes, but forgery of official documents is not for Your Majesty's sake....No, this is also for His Majesty.... But.... "
Count Adams must have taken his job seriously.
He appeared reluctant to do a simple job of forging documents (...).
He sees Count Cooper reflectively.
"Circumstances are circumstances. Nor will my successor as Attorney General be blamed for forgery of official documents.Your Majesty will forgive you, too.At that time, if I am still Prime Minister, I will promise to protect you.Lord Enfield ordered us to rescue you in the first place.Who can complain? "
"Yes, that's right, I'll do it."
Abuse of the position of deputy secretary should have fattened my stomach as much as possible.
Because he didn't do it, he would have hesitated to even forge simple documents.
Charles' pity stood out when his parents were decent.
"The finance minister will persuade Housekeeper Welrod or Housekeeper Windsor.If you, Charles' father, explained with the Treasury Secretary, His Highness would trust the forged documents.If you let me think there's nothing wrong with enlisting, that's fine.And this is Uncle Brander. "
When he demanded of Count Brander, Isaac took a beat.
That's why Count Brander said, "What kind of difficult demands do you have?I feel anxious.
"All you have to do is send your soldiers."
"... is that really enough?"
The Count Brander wondered because it was too light a request.
I wonder if you can push me into a difficult job behind the scenes.
"Uncle Adams and Count Fosbury hold positions within the government and the army, but not the Marquis Wilmente or Uncle Brander.Instead, they own vast territory.If you're in a different position, the roles you're looking for are different.Besides, we don't just have to send soldiers.Confronting the Royal Army also risks fighting.In some cases, it could kill Lord Jason.In a way, it could be more demanding than Uncle Adams or Count Fosbury. "
--Possibility of killing Jason.
The Count Brander is also saddened by the magnitude of his responsibilities.
Basically, surrendering will be the main goal, but when that fails, we have to fight.
It will also be a thorough slap.
It is also possible that Jason will die in battle.
Although it was necessary to save Elias, it was quite difficult to hold the royal family.
"Of course, the purpose of this gathering is not to do so.No matter how rebellious they are, the opponent is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.We don't want to bring a case to justice on our own.Each plays his part and pushes His Highness Jason to surrender.Thank you for your support. "
Isaac lowers his head deeply.
"Shut up and follow me!I don't know what to say, but this problem is not something that can be done with such clarity.
We have to move in the direction we want, taking care not to buy objections from our surroundings.
"Count Lehman has two more favors.The first is the persuasion of friends of the King and his wife.At the coronation ceremony, "Can you admit Zen Concession without His Majesty's words?I want you to convince me not to make any noise. "
"Certainly, if you give in to Zen, there may be some noisy people who would like to receive a direct word from His Majesty."
Count Lehman looks around.
"If you will persuade the aristocrats who belong to the faction, I would prefer to focus on the aristocrats who do not belong to the big faction."
"Yes, it would be helpful if you did.The maids, maids, and servants did not seem to agree with Lord Jason's actions.If they know each other, I want them to be able to make good contact and extract information.I just want you to tell me not to move too much and get suspicious. "
"Okay, let's do that too.So, what's the other one? "
"To His Highness Jason, I would like you to meet His Majesty."
What!?
Too daring a request, Count Lehman shouted.
That's true, isn't that impossible?
"No, I can. I'll let you know I made Uncle Lehman my ally.And Uncle Lehman, please meet him for the reason of persuading His Majesty Elias. "
"Convince His Majesty?"
Like Counts Cooper, Uncle Lehman thinks for himself about what Isaac's request means.
"... in order not to be used as a hostage or to harm yourself by changing the status quo, right?"
"That's right."
He read Isaac's intentions brilliantly.
I was just about to ask for it.
"We want you to be careful not only to do yourself harm, but also to prevent accidents such as trying to escape, until we can help you.And to do that, I want you to know that we're moving to help. "
"But even if I could meet with His Majesty, I would be watching.I can't keep telling you-- "
In the middle of his words, Count Lehman notices something happily.
"Lord Enfield persuaded me to leave you alone.That being said, Your Majesty will surely understand.However, I'm worried that my heart may be weak right now and I won't accept it as I say. "
"Please be careful and tell her that.However, be careful not to let the Knights of the Guards doubt you. "
"Okay, let's do it."
Count Lehman expressed the strength of his will to play his part with the strength of his nod.
Isaac nodded and responded.
And I talked to everybody.
"Everything I've just talked about is what I thought about yesterday.I thought about it in one day, so naturally there will be holes.We look forward to hearing from you. "
Isaac asked for his opinion.
This is to foster a sense of solidarity that "we thought together" and to create a strong cooperative relationship.
It is also to create the fact that "we have come up with a plan" and create an accomplice relationship.
"Eh, in a day!"
Just to talk, Amanda, who had been silent until now, shouted.
Next to the story of Elias being confined, it is quite a surprise.
"Yes, it was quite difficult, but for His Majesty's sake.I thought desperately about what I could do now. "
When Isaac smiled, Amanda blushed and frowned.
(... why? You didn't say anything like that, did you?)
Isaac didn't know how she was reacting, but there was a slight relaxation of air among the surrounding adults, saying, "I saw something funny."
Isaac sees it and tries to change the story quickly.
"So, does anyone have any opinions? Sometimes you think it's crap, but it's a plan that can be used as a kick-start by others.Whatever you want, don't hesitate. "
