Three days after Welrod arrived.
Loretta and the others have arrived from the Kingdom of Fartil.
The Marquises of Sonicloft hurried them out.
They also heard the status quo of the Reid kingdom and looked reluctant.
"I am here because I want you to be safe and return home.We want to continue our friendly relationship with the Fartil Kingdom.As proof of that, I explained without covering up the situation. "
"I see... Sure, if you really intend to attack, I won't let you know.I believe that word. "
It was Christopher who convinced Morgan of his explanation.
He believed the words of his stepuncle, Morgan.
After all, the impact of saving the Fartil Kingdom was huge.
"I am sorry that I have caused His Highness to think narrowly so far.I am not the Foreign Minister at the moment, but on behalf of the Kingdom of Lead, I would like to offer my sincere apologies. "
"Originally, I would like to reply comfortably that I accepted the apology...I can't say anything.I'm really sorry about that. "
"The answer is the best.You don't have to regret it. "
Christopher is right and looks sad.
But that was Morgan's answer.
He doesn't expect to answer "I accept your apology."
But even though Nicholas was involved, I had to apologize.
Because it's a big difference if you don't say so.
"Lord Loretta, we will escort you back to your country.I can't promise you that...Whatever we do, it will take time.You shouldn't say this, but fight with all your might. "
"Thank you for your concern."
Christopher has a position.
I cannot be certain that "it will not move until the end of the civil war".
Hector, who was furious with Jason, could say, "Attack the Reid Kingdom."
That's why I couldn't promise to never attack.
But when it comes to restlessness...
"The Marquises of Sonikroft observe the situation to the extent permitted by the nobility of the Fartil Kingdom."
Thank you for saying that.
Even if we attack, it will take time to prepare.
Relax. I can handle Jason.
"Mr. Christopher, do you realize that this statement is inappropriate as the next Lord of the Marquis of Sonic Croft?"
Loretta, who was present, made up Christopher's mind.
Because his words were too close to the Kingdom of Reed.
But Christopher doesn't look bad.
"Nevertheless, it does not take long to prepare for the war, and your Majesty will not be able to move before you make sure your Highness is safe.To that extent, Lord Enfield must have seen it a long time ago.Unfortunately, it's no use repairing the surface. "
"Is it necessary as a nobleman to mend the surface?"
"I don't think it's unnatural to have a natural body in my family.Of course, we will fight in the event of hostility, but we are trying to avoid a dispute so far, and don't we need to show you that we trust you? "
"That may be true, but...."
As Loretta, I want to believe Isaac unconditionally.
But there were too many things.
It is also a case of slightly exceeding the worst that can be expected.
I wanted you to think about it and be vigilant.
"You're okay, right? Uncle?"
"I don't mind if I...In front of His Highness Loretta. I should have fixed it for a while. "
Morgan looked stunned.
But that's not true.
Christopher wants to be on our side to the extent that no betrayal can be seen from the Fartil Kingdom.
The Marquises of Sonicloft found that even in this situation, the Marquis of Welrod had a favorable feeling for them.
But the appearance was something that had to be denied.
"It's too late. But even if I look like this, I'm upset.Not only is there a great deal of confusion in the Reid Kingdom, but His Highness Loretta and the others are in danger.I'm not in the mood to face my relatives I've seen for a long time. "
"Well, I don't know how that feels.I couldn't help but be confused for a few days after graduation. "
Loretta sighs lightly as she listens to the two conversations.
"Please feel free to talk now.I was relieved to see the face I saw.Everyone will be anxious, and it won't be bad to start with everyday conversations. "
And I confirmed Christopher's response.
This was also intended to confirm the friendship between the two families, but it was a little mixed up with selfishness.
- How does Isaac react to his relatives?
That's what I wanted to see.
"Thank you for your concern."
Christopher thanked Loretta and turned to Isaac.
"Congratulations on your marriage, Isaac. I couldn't attend, but did Nicholas represent you well?"
"Yeah, don't worry, Nicholas was a good, solid kid.Thank you very much for the exceptional items that are unique to the region. "
"I wonder what Isaac likes.I look forward to seeing your wife later. "
"Normal. Normal."
Christopher talked to Isaac with a "relative's uncle" attitude.
Isaac was also dealing with his uncle with an attitude.
A warm atmosphere begins to flow.
"Chris, thank you for celebrating.But you don't feel too nervous about anything.In the first place, it would be careless of you to bring only 200 guards. "
It was Randolph who waited for the flow.
He was more dissatisfied with his actions than with his cousin's words.
In fact, anyway, it is time to attack the Fartil Kingdom in form.
There was a chance some idiot would run off and get hurt.
I blamed him for worrying about being a little more vigilant.
"Randy, don't blame me. I wanted to make sure Nicholas and Sofia were okay."
"I should at least have sent someone with my son.If there was a problem, the Marquis Sonicloft would have been in chaos. "
"I don't want to be told that by someone who beats Tom with his own spear."
"That was a coincidence..."
"It's no coincidence that a spear gets close to a known opponent on the battlefield."
Christopher smiles.
Randolph is as easy to tease as ever.
However, since he has a face, it is not a good idea to tease him too much.
I will try to cut it off where it is appropriate.
"We are also careful not to irritate the aristocracy of the Reid Kingdom during this period.I thought there were as many as two hundred.But it doesn't look good on Lord Loretta's escort for decades.It's not normal anymore.We cannot allow the army to line up and move within the Reid Kingdom.You know that, right? "
"That's true... I've been in touch with everywhere."
"The deputies who responded in the city along the way said, 'Wouldn't the furious Fartil soldiers kill me?I was watching with my scared eyes. "Rather, it might have been more dangerous to bring in more soldiers.I appreciate your concern, but I'd like you to consider that a thousand or 2,000 soldiers can easily be crushed. "
"That may be true, but what an extreme..."
Although reluctant, Randolph also showed understanding for Christopher's opinion.
If you bring the army, the nobles in the Reid Kingdom will be on alert.
That vigilance may cause a runaway and turn into a real war.
At least as an escort, if you're going to be crushed in a thousand armies.
Christopher used to treat Randolph unannounced, but Randolph thought, "The real unannounced is his."
"Didn't you expect to be lured out and captured or killed?"
"There's Isaac over there.If you were going to lure them in and catch them, you would have taken a smarter approach.Besides, I think I'm a good lord.Murder makes Sonic Croft difficult to rule.From a variety of perspectives, I thought the trap was extremely unlikely, so I was relieved to come. "
"Is that the way you think...? Sure, Isaac wouldn't be surprised if he had a situation where the Sonic Croft was falling when he set it up."
"Can you get rid of that weird feeling of trust?"
The stray bullet flew in, so Isaac stopped.
Why do you think on the assumption that I know everything?
I am honestly happy about what I think is smart, but I am not happy about the direction.
I wanted to correct that.
"I only know it in a letter from Nicholas, but it's not normal to negotiate with a dragon confidently.If you know what a dragon thinks, how much room can a human think? "
"That's not true."
Again.
Christopher laughed aloud.
Because I thought Isaac's humility smelled shy.
After a brief laugh, he tightens his expression.
You think there's a chance?
"Yes, I will. I will not fight a battle that cannot be won."
Isaac answers with a serious look.
Jason is already packed.
I was confident that I could win even if some house betrayed me.
"Look, I can trust you."
However, it seems that his inquiry was prompted.
A smile of victory comes to mind.
Isaac was astonished at him.
"Now you've lost faith in my Christopher."
It's tough.
Christopher laughs, passes Isaac's jito eyes, and shows a serious expression again.
"I will do my utmost to support you as long as you are not at war with the Fartil Kingdom.I don't want to send reinforcements because I want to avoid the intervention of foreign forces, but I will give them as much food support as I can.The Reed kingdom's chaos is a matter of life and death for our country. "
"Thank you, but I'm going to end it in a short-term showdown, so we won't be in a situation where we need help."
"That's nice, but... no, it's not.We're here for an early resolution. "
The words that Christopher had spoken.
It was said that "the better the solution, the more likely His Majesty Hector will be to propose an engagement to Lord Loretta".
But the engagement wasn't bad for the Fartil kingdom or the Marquis de Sonikroft.
Loretta is here, too, so she shuts her mouth that she shouldn't do anything to advise her bad.
(His Majesty Elias has one child.If you abandon the child, it is also possible to adopt him.It is more likely to adopt the child of His Highness the King.)
Behind Christopher's head, I thought of a possible accident.
It was the best possible outcome for the Fartil Kingdom.
