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

Somehow, since the day of Amanda's reception, Count Lancaster has become more friendly than ever.

Isaac wondered, but he didn't have to think deeply, thinking, "It must have been because of the conversation with my grandfather."

--This was because Count Lancaster's sense of distance was appropriate.

He had no sticky perseverance like the Marquis of Warwick.

I don't want you to marry Judith more than necessary.

It only crossed the line of "talking to the public intimately".

That's why Isaac ended up just thinking that he was in a good mood.

When I do my daily work and go home, I mess with my wife.

There is still work to be done, but I got the ideal life I wanted in my previous life.

But one of those remaining challenges came along.

- King Fartyl, Hector Fartyl and Loretta.

Elias' funeral left Prince Maximilian in the country just in case.

But even so, the king's own visit to the country where the civil war had just begun means that he trusts Isaacs a lot.

I had to avoid betraying that trust.

Originally, I would pick you up near the border after the news arrived.

But they didn't.

When the king's capital was informed, he came to the Marquis of Thonicroft, and the nephew of the Count of Lancaster, who had been entrusted with his absence, rushed to the border to greet him.

“I can see why Her Royal Highness Loretta is accompanying us.Your Majesty Elias and your Majesty Jessica were very helpful, so you wanted to go to the funeral.However, I don't understand why His Majesty Hector is being taken aback.How many blood relatives will the king take himself to the country where the civil war has just begun?I'd like to know how close Lord Elias and Lord Hector had to each other. ”

In this action, I see a desire to speak ahead of others more importantly than mourning the death of my own people.

Isaac felt that it was going to be a problem.

In order to hear the situation, Count Raman and the others who were friends of Elias were being summoned.

"You've heard from the Thonicroft Duke that Lord Enfield will come to power.the possibility of bringing in an engagement with Her Highness Loretta..... "

I bet you do.

They knew why Hector himself was coming.

Elias has a Princess of the Reed Kingdom, who hits her grandfather's sister.

It's not a strange position to assume the throne.

Isaac's position will be reinforced if he pays his respects to his granddaughter.

Not only was the Reed Kingdom's nobility unwilling to reign, it was also the easiest way to retain its influence in Reed Kingdom.

But Isaac knew that too.

That's why I summoned them today to ask me something I don't understand.

"... how are you getting along with Lord Elias?"

Isaac rushed to get to the point with the Count Leman who was looking out for each other and said, "That's right."

The Laman Count thought he was a little out of his mind, and he tightened his head.

"To the best of my knowledge, I only came face-to-face when His Majesty the First King collapsed and when His Majesty the First King of the Fartyl Kingdom collapsed."However, the relationship seems to have been good.I've often had an exchange of letters. "

"As far as I can remember, His Majesty Elias never spoke ill of His Majesty Hector."Perhaps His Majesty Hector didn't have a bad impression either. ”

His Majesty Hector has rarely been out of the country on a king's side.

Elias' father and Hector's father.

I just met her at that time.

However, both sides were friendly.

If that's the case, it's like I really just came to the funeral.

"Then, the first purpose is to mourn the death of His Majesty Elias."Then, to make political adjustments, such as confirming that the alliance with the Reed Kingdom can continue.Can I honestly think about that? "

The Laman counts did not answer Isaac's question.

There is still one possibility left.

That's a big problem, too.

But I can't put it into words.

At least, from the standpoint of the Layman counts, it was worth talking about.

- Hector might say he's going to be king of the Reed Kingdom himself.

Isaac understood and didn't ask for their response.

Try to change the subject.

First, let the servants other than the guards leave.

"There is one thing I need to check.If you tell me the truth, all your sins will be forgiven.But if you're lying, we'll have to execute you.Think hard before you answer. ”

The rest of the guards stood behind Count Laman.

In this situation, the Count Rayman looks upset.

“What are the charges?”

If you fabricated the words of His Majesty Elias, can you understand that execution is unavoidable?

Count Raman's heart was about to come to a halt from the shock.

However, I managed to withstand it without making a face.

“What are you talking about?”

But I couldn't mislead her until she was trembling.

After answering, I regret that it is "gone."

I saw Isaac's face, but he didn't have the color of anger.

“As I said earlier, it doesn't matter if you talk quietly.Of course, I won't play with the motto "You promised to miss it, but I haven't promised it to my family."I promise you that. "

Isaac was speaking in a calm voice.

But there's something catching on to that word.

"What's the point (...)?"

In other respects, it would mean punishing them.

Count Laman could hardly hear the words.

Isaac smiled unexpectedly at his alarmed appearance.

"It means that the treatment will change depending on the circumstances.I don't know how to stand as a king.Therefore, if you are honest with me, I intend to use everyone who was nearby to see His Majesty Elias in a position like that of a counselor in the future.However, if you make a false declaration to me, such a person cannot be placed nearby.Think about it and answer it. ”

Although it was a quiet voice, the words had the force to strangle it with pure cotton.

Count Raman felt a breathlessness and touched his neck unintentionally.

Naturally, there was nothing there to strangle her.

(Lord Enfield's eyes are so visible...No, if I had noticed right away, I would have questioned you earlier.That means it took some time to realize."What am I thinking..."I don't know if it's early or late.It would be more horrible to notice)

Count Raman realized that he was running away from reality and wondered how to get through it now.

But there is not enough time to give an answer.

I wanted some time to think about it.

"... why did they think you were lying?"

So I asked Isaac why he thought that.

Because while Isaac is talking, he can make time to think.

"'I'm not lying.It's all true. 'I think the answer is out at a time when I can't return it. Well, that's fine. "

Isaac begins to tell the reason, pointing out that Count Layman did not immediately deny it.

"If King Elias thought I was one of his successors, there's something strange about it."There was His Highness Mills, and Jason's next one was impossible.And will you send your precious heir to fight against the dragons?Someone I don't know if I can talk to.The decision to escort the Kingsguard was made after the protests.It is unnatural to deal with someone who is thinking of it as a successor.Don't you think so? "

--Assign anyone who wants to succeed the throne to a mission with a high chance of death.

This was a strange thing.

Even though my brothers Mills were present, Isaac was treated too badly.

Elias himself trusted Isaac to do something about it, but he didn't know how much he trusted the people around him.

When I calmed down, it seemed suspicious that Elias was thinking of Isaac as his successor.

Isaac thought he had to hear that.

The Count of Laman looks at each other.

Isaac had already noticed.

Then I thought it would be better to speak honestly.

The question is (...) how far do you want to talk?

We have no choice but to speak while probing.

His Majesty Elias did not consider Lord Enfield to be one of his successors.

After his troubles, he decided to speak honestly.

The truthful confession surprised Matt more than Isaac.

“But I thought it was the right thing to do.If it hadn't been for Lord Enfield's unity at the time, it would not have been a conquest of Count Brandar's realm.Perhaps the remarks of Lord Warwick prompted a new civil war with Lord Wilmente.I thought we should do it for His Majesty Elias, who wanted peace.Of course, I thought Lord Enfield would be a worthy successor to Lord Elias. ”

First, I tried to see Isaac's reaction by answering, "Oh, I had no choice."

It's true that in that situation, we might have no choice.

Isaac showed me his understanding.

But I'm sorry about that.

"So, that's what all of his friends thought."It was strange that no one would deny that such a statement had ever been made.You're all close enough to communicate. ”

One or two of them would do that.

But it's impossible that all my friends didn't deny it.

If Elias really chose Isaac as one of his successors, then it would be strange if he didn't.

Isaac pointed that out as well.

"... could you give me a moment?"

“No, I don't give you time to talk, I don't give you time to think. Tell me everything."

Now, pursue it with a harsh tone.

The Laman counts start to freak out.

But Count Layman was hopeful.

Isaac didn't say, "Tell me the truth." He said, "Tell me everything."

They know they're not telling lies, they're just not telling everything.

Then we still have a chance.

“In fact, we discussed in advance who would entrust this country.Lord Wilmente was anxiously excluded because of his persistence with Lord Warwick.His Majesty Hector was the strongest candidate in terms of blood strength, but His Majesty was the King of the Fartyr Kingdom.Then you may be unhappy that the Fartyl Kingdom has taken over. ”

Count Laman spoke as he looked into Isaac's eyes.

It was a sign of readiness not to deceive anymore, and it was also to talk while watching Isaac's reaction.

"In that regard, Lord Enfield has the trust and track record of Lord Elias.Besides, even though the Reed King's blood is thin, it certainly flows to his body.Even if no one opposed the reign, it was concluded that it was the best candidate.We are not involved in the actions of Lord Warwick.We rode the course created by Lord Warwick. ”

"So, did you ever want to use the fact that I was pushed to become a king to act as a king's sidekick in the future?"

"That's... I can't say I didn't."

I see.

Isaac laughed fufufu.

I don't know what that smile means, and the Count of Laman is puzzled.

"You were normal people, too." I'm relieved. "

Now I don't know what Isaac's words mean.

The Count of Laman looked at each other and said, "Do you have anything that makes sense?”we ask each other with a gesture of sight.

But no one knew what Isaac was thinking.

“As I said at the beginning, you told me honestly, so I won't be guilty.However, from now on, I will not allow you to fabricate my words.In addition, I will not allow it to grow by mistakenly pushing me to the king.As long as you keep it, I will continue to talk to you. ”

“Very well. I just want you to keep in mind that I acted for the Reed Kingdom, even though I had my own interests and desires.”

"I know."So, what happened to the funeral? ”

Isaac broke up the conversation and moved on to the next topic.

Because this action was meant to clear my guilt.

If Elias really thought he could take Isaac as his successor, Elias's death would be over in the future.

However, there were a number of suspicious things about Elias's behavior.

I wanted to make sure of that, and I checked with the Count of Laman.

As I thought, Elias appreciated Isaac, but he didn't think of him as his successor.

Isaac's mind became a little lighter when he realized it was the result of the thought of Count Laman.
