The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

After the funeral, a gathering was held to celebrate the deceased, except for those who had left.

Isaac is dealing with the Ambassadors and the like, so the nobles are not gathered.

However, there were more aristocrats than usual around Morgan and the Marquis of Windsor.

-The grandfather of the next king, the grandfather-in-law.

Now that Randolph and Theodore had left, they were the perfect opponents to sell their flirts among Isaac, who remained in the capital.

Of course, they are accustomed to being sold off as marquis.

I dealt with it calmly and without confusion.

But Isaac was different.

The ambassadors were anxious.

Every country was concerned about the future policy of the Reed Kingdom.

The king of the Reed Kingdom has been pacifist for generations.

As a reassuring ally, he deserved to have his back.

But if the new king takes on expansionism, the story will change.

It is not difficult to imagine that the political situation will be disrupted at once.

More than those in the Reed Kingdom, those in the surrounding countries were worried about the future.

It was Isaac's job to reassure those people.

... there is, but it's quite difficult.

Saying "it's okay" doesn't make it easy to trust me.

Moreover, Isaac is now a king's representative, but not the official next king.

The next king could not give a formal answer as to what policy he would adopt.

That's because Isaac, the substitute, has no point confirming it.

Of course, the new king cannot ignore Isaac's words.

But not at all.

To ensure the security of our homeland, we had to confirm Isaac's firm intentions towards the new king.

- How far will the new king's dictatorship be allowed?

"Even if they say so, it is the majesty's body, in combination with mine.even if you can encourage His Majesty to reconsider, until you definitely change it..... "

"However, Lord Enfield's famous name has been sown in our country."Even though you're the king, you can't ignore Lord Enfield's words. ”

Even if I did, I can't imitate you as a subordinate to use your past achievements as a shield to push through your own opinions.

Isaac replies that he will never go beyond his duty as a subordinate.

In response, the ambassadors dropped their shoulders.

I wanted to hear the phrase "whatever it takes to stop it" here.

Even if it was a relief.

Isaac's words were eagerly awaited by the Ambassador to the Ark Kingdom.

But in a different sense from the other ambassadors.

He was annoyed that Isaac would not cut it out.

As an ambassador, I know it's not nice, but I ate Isaac.

"There are rumors that the next king is bound to Lord Enfield.Why didn't you say that? "

His words had thorns.

That's because I thought Isaac was deeply involved in the death of the royal family.

“There is indeed such a movement.However, I was unable to help His Majesty Elias, and I would prefer to avoid talking about the next king as soon as the funeral is over.That's why I avoided talking about it. ”

Is that so?

"... what are you trying to say?"

“I suspect Lord Enfield was behind everything.”

What's the matter!?

(What! Where did you get the information?!)

The Ark Kingdom's ambassador was right, but Isaac was too familiar with it.

Isaac shows upset in a scene where he shouldn't have shown upset.

Because of that, people nearby are suspicious.

“Only the Duke of Enfield has the right to inherit the throne within the Kingdom of Reed, bestowing the title of Duke and Duke of Wilamente.My son was cooperating in the seizure, so I decided to decline.Then it is Lord Enfield who is most likely to hold the throne.As a result, the suspicion of killing His Majesty Jason and abandoning Jessica persists.I think you have the strength and decisiveness to make it happen. ”

(What, it's just an idea)

― ― The ambassador, a representative of the country, is prepared to break off diplomatic ties.

Isaac regained his composure when he realized that he had done so without evidence.

I can also think of a reason for this assertion.

- I couldn't save Jessica and Jason from the blood of the royalty of the Ark Kingdom.

It could be a liability to him, who had to look at his fingers while staying as an ambassador.

Maybe he's trying to blame Isaac for not being able to save his life, even though he had the power to do so.

At the extreme, Jason was the king of the Ark Kingdom.

Jason is the nephew of King Ark.

There were some insane places that put my mother under house arrest, but I didn't kill her because there was still feelings for her flesh and blood.

Then the relationship with the Ark Kingdom was the same.

From the feelings of my flesh and blood, I may have been able to keep the danger at bay.

Besides, I might have thought that Jason would have been easier to control than Isaac becoming king.

Isaac thought that it might have blown his anger because everything had moved in a different direction.

(If so, there is a way to do it)

"Is that why...? Maybe I just wanted to be king, or maybe I was trying to avenge my wife's terrible loss."

Isaac answered honestly.

But the Ambassadors are all around us.

I don't take what I say.

--Don 't put royalty in your hands for such a ridiculous reason.

Everyone thought so.

Even an ambassador to the Ark Kingdom.

Isaac looks around.

My eyes met Tommy, who was there for security.

But he is known to be Isaac's servant.

Then I think it will be less effective, and I will find someone else.

The next time I saw Marquis Thornycroft, it was out of the question because he was still his own.

Then Arthur and I met each other.

I gesture and call him.

"By the way, Ambassador, how did I get elected as the next king?"Let me explain it to Arthur of the House of Count Wridge.I can't believe I'm explaining this to myself or my friends. ”

Arthur was suddenly entrusted with a major role.

To explain to others, the Foreign Minister, Morgan, is better suited to his position.

However, Isaac read the meaning of the word "not trusted" and decided to explain.

The ambassadors were not surprised to hear how Isaac became king.

Isaac was chosen in the form of the Consensus of the Aristocrats.

― ― The fact that Marquis Wilmente is not qualified, and the fear of becoming the second Jason when he summons people from other countries who have inheritance rights.

That is undeniable.

He said that he would not stand for election and that he would not speak out at all.

In addition, it is in the form of taking a pledge.

"I could point out that I was behind all this with Marquis Warwick," but there was no evidence of that.

In the first place, Marquis Warwick was a very emotionally intelligible person, not the type who could plot behind the scenes.

If you help us in our plot to kill the royalty and take the throne, there will be ruin somewhere.

However, it was also true that there was a grudge against Elias, so it could not be said that he was not cooperating at all.

“I didn't want to be a king.A king is one who rules his country by virtue.I shed too much blood to rule by virtue. ”

No one denied Isaac's words.

Since I was a child, there was often blood flowing around Isaac.

It is also due to the person's actions.

"In that regard, Majesty Elias was the ideal champion.His Majesty Elias wanted peace and had an atmosphere that made him want to serve him.It may not be suitable for people.It would have been the best thing for my country not to be king, but to be the subordinate who supported His Majesty Elias. "

Isaac lifts Elias.

He was a man who appreciated himself.

I don't care about this kind of lip service, etc.

“Don't you think so?”

Isaac loves the deceased and asks the ambassador of the Ark Kingdom with a lonely face.

"It's not that Lord Enfield isn't fit for a king... but you're right."If you know that, you may not have deliberately taken the royal family into your hands. ”

“I just need you to understand.”

Isaac smiles.

This could not have been the end of it.

“Well, I'm not saying it now.As soon as the farewell ceremony three months later is over, would you like to return to your country with your visitors? "

Lord Enfield, are you out of your mind?

"Yes, I'm sane."

Isaac's smile disappeared.

Badly, the Marquis of Thonicroft, who was listening with the ambassadors, stops.

"Deporting an ambassador is an act that can be called a declaration of war.Even from the standpoint of acting for the King, it is-- "

The words of the Marquis of Thonicroft are jammed.

Yes, Isaac is now acting for the King.

And the next king.

Essentially, it's the King of the Reed Kingdom.

The Ambassador of the Ark Kingdom made a point against such an opponent.

This is tantamount to a quarrel.

However, it was a bad idea to do it easily.

I wonder who declared war first.

Isaac answered in a quiet voice.

The other ambassadors were familiar with it.

My gaze is directed at the Ambassador of the Ark Kingdom.

“At the end of the farewell ceremony, we should also raise the number of ambassadors of the Reed Kingdom in your country.His Royal Highness Jessica has also passed away, so perhaps a royal family member will visit you at the temple.I'll tell you all about what happened at that time.You will understand that we will be raising and deporting ambassadors. ”

Isaac's words were heard calmly by the ambassador of the Ark Kingdom.

I was thinking of the possibility that this might happen.

But as an ark kingdom, I had to condemn Jessica's rescue failure.

Even though Jessica is now married to the Reed Kingdom, the King's sister is the King's sister.

If you don't say a word, you will be disdained by other countries.

That was because we had to avoid it.

--Isaac could have saved them all.

With that in mind, I said that I was ambitious.

However, I didn't think Isaac would act so short-circuited, even though it was wrong to say so.

The repatriation of ambassadors is also a last resort.

In the circumstances surrounding the Reed Kingdom, it was impossible to take such measures lightly.

However, even in the unlikely event of an emergency, it was not expected.

To protect the honor of the Ark kingdom, the ambassador didn't get confused.

But Isaac didn't say it because he suspected me.

He had an idea of being him.

"If the Ark Kingdom invades the Reed Kingdom, we will intercept it, but we will not invade it."If we ever had to ask for reinforcements, we'd be happy to send them out.You cannot send an emissary to the Reed Kingdom from the majesty of the king and the face of the nation.You might think so.However, I will send out soldiers if requested, whether from a single civilian living in the Ark Kingdom. ”

The ambassadors did not immediately understand what Isaac was saying.

I will not compete with the Ark Kingdom while saying that I will even raise the resident ambassador.

On the contrary, I am saying that I will send reinforcements as I have always done.

That chig-hug confuses the minds of the ambassadors in their key positions.

But not if you calm down.

Isaac realized that he had a way out for the Ark Kingdom.

If you don't want to ask the Reed Kingdom for help, you can send out a request for reinforcements in the form that the civilians did their own thing.

Still, you're saying you're going to help.

"I intend to inherit the policy as well as the throne from His Majesty Elias.Naturally, it is also a friendly relationship with the neighboring countries that His Majesty had hoped for.However, we cannot ignore what His Excellency the Ambassador said earlier.We will do whatever is necessary to protect the name of the Reed Kingdom. ”

But after hearing Isaac's words, I was able to understand them.

― ― Isaac is not just trying to inherit the throne of the King of the Reed Kingdom, he is also trying to succeed Elias.

I will not tolerate disrespectful behavior towards the king.

Still, we are not actively fighting, we are practically continuing our alliance to defend the Ark Kingdom.

In a few years, the ambassador will be stationed in both countries again.

At least you won't break your word and attack the Ark.

What was clearly stated in front of the ambassadors cannot be made easy.

― ― Turning to the accusations made by the ambassador of the Ark Kingdom, this is an opportunity to argue his own policy.

Isaac, while appealing to himself to be the heir to King Elias, succeeded in impressing that he was not a tyrant who unconditionally buried his adversary.

But that's not the end of it.

Do you have wine for that waiter?

Call out to the waiter who was walking nearby.

"I'm sorry, but I can't give it to Lord Enfield."

― ― Alcoholic beverages have been available since the age of twenty.

Even a duke can't break that rule.

Even though I served, I tried to disobey Isaac's orders.

"I'm not the one who drinks.I'll give it to our ambassador. "

"If that's the case, please be happy."

The waiter offers the tray to the ambassador.

The ambassador took a glass of wine, although he could not swallow the situation.

“Please have a drink.”

I recommend that Isaac drink it.

But the ambassador hesitated for a moment.

Isaac recommended it.

The wine that the waiter was carrying might have poisoned it.

(...... Yeah, it's just the way it is!)

The ambassador decided to prepare himself and drank it all at once.

If you're poisoned here, it's true that Isaac is a vicious usurper.

In that case, the previous statement would be correct, and the Ark Kingdom would not be blamed.

Rather, it would be a good excuse to declare war.

I'm sure other countries will take their side.

I thought drinking alcohol was the best way to go.

Isaac speaks to the ambassador as he watches him drink.

Ambassador, it's bad for you to be drunk so much that you can't even turn around.

"No, I only have one--"

"Have you drunk a lot?"I'm worried about your health, but I'm glad you could mourn His Majesty Elias that much.Let's not be rude tonight.Words like sake seats don't make any sense.Let's just share in the grief today. ”

I listened to him and figured out Isaac's intentions, including the ambassador to the Ark Kingdom.

― ― The statement I just made was a word that came out of the sake table, so I decided not to listen to it.

It is strange to accept the words of a man who is drunk so much that he cannot even speak.

In the first place, you won't be able to hear the words.

It seems that you will do such a thing.

"So, what did Isaac say when he couldn't drink?"I don't think so, but there's no need to pursue it harshly.

You only need to remember that you are prepared to inherit Elias' policy.

If Isaac himself wants to forget, he doesn't have to make a fuss.

All you have to do is talk to the mission from your native country and then think about how to deal with it.

I felt like I didn't have to rush like the Ark Kingdom.

- I promise to help the other country, even if I use the last resort of the Ambassador's deportation.

I was able to show myself as the heir to Elias, who was said to be the wise king.

Isaac's image strategy was a success.

But that wasn't all Isaac wanted.

(Even if the civilians of the Ark Kingdom call for reinforcements.How well do you understand what this means?And the meaning of not denying that civilians do not have such authority)

Isaac also thought about when the Ark Kingdom became a potential enemy, not an ally.

As promised, Isaac will not invade the Ark Kingdom.

But it's not the same as having a national government represent civilians in a city near the border, and having Isaac ask for help.

In accordance with the National Government's rescue request, it still had the possibility of overthrowing the oppressive ark kingdom.

Isaac didn't say anything about "accepting only Ark Kingdom reinforcements."

But in reality, this kind of tactic will destroy the credibility of other countries.

This was a real last resort, incomparable to the Ambassador's deportation.
