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

Hector was greeted by Morgan himself.

I will also dispatch nobles who were in the capital from time to time to visitors coming from other countries.

We must send someone who matches the opponent's abilities, but there is no one else who puts his feet on the king's own.

It would have been nice to send the Count and Viscount to the border.

But the real challenge is what kind of story Hector brings in.

We were to meet near the capital, but Hector wanted us to meet at the royal tomb.

Isaac also takes the flowers he grew and waits for Hector in front of the cemetery.

I see you've kept me waiting.

"Thank you for coming so far."On behalf of all the nobles of the Reed Kingdom, I would like to thank you. ”

"His Majesty Elias is my nephew."It is natural to come to the funeral.Don't worry about it. "

Hector had a sad look on his face.

There may be a bit of acting involved, but it seems that not everything is acting.

It must be true that the two of them had a good relationship.

Loretta was also sad.

The grief should be strong because she was being looked after.

And for some reason, this party was accompanied by the Marquis of Thonicroft and Nicholas.

(I wonder if I should already be the Minister for Foreign Affairs.....)

The Marquis of Thonikroft is the Minister of Finance.

Even though I have a close relationship with the Marquis of Well Rod, I can't go to another country frequently.

It would not be a complaint because it is a royal order, but the original Foreign Minister should feel alienated.

If it gets so used up, the jealousy around it will be huge.

Isaac worried about Marquis Thonikroft's position, even though it was a matter for another country.

I'm sure Morgan thinks he's taken us all the way to King's Landing.

Isaac leads Hector and Loretta to Elias's grave.

There, I receive a bouquet of flowers from the secretary.

I asked the secretary to check on Hector and the others.

This was to find out if I had installed a poison needle or something.

We'll run a check just in case, and it'll be in their hands.

Hector muttered as he placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tomb and prayed for good luck.

"...... I've only ever met Lord Elias face to face at a funeral."But I didn't expect to see him at his funeral. "

"Without a single step, I couldn't save Lord Elias..."I'm sorry about that. "

"We have received a report from Lord Thonicroft."I think Lord Enfield did a good job.There is one thing I have to say.Thank you for stopping Jason's rampage.Not only Loretta, but also my country. "

"This unnecessary struggle was not something that His Majesty Elias wanted..."I did what I took for granted as a majesty. "

Hector stood up and placed his hand on Isaac's shoulder.

"Still. I'm sorry about your Majesty Elias, but we were helped."That fact is important to us.Of course, it would have been best if I could help.Lord Enfield, you owe us a debt of gratitude.I think I can entrust you with something important. "

Your Majesty, Hector--

(--I 'm sorry to bother you.)

Naturally, I couldn't say the word.

Isaac thought, "The second Marquis of Warwick has appeared."

Looking at Chirari and Loretta, she was only crying and not reacting to Hector's words.

Amanda and the others would have been happy to talk about Isaac's engagement.

I didn't know if it was just about time and place, and Isaac got caught.

However, it is suicide that brings itself to the subject.

I will do what I didn't ask.

Now that the visit to the tomb is over, he tries to guide Hector and his party to the reception hall.

At that moment, Morgan approaches Isaac and whispers his ears, “This is a pain in the ass.”

But Isaac was used to it.

I think the pretext for refusing Loretta's engagement is good.

"It's all right," he said with a spare smile.

----------

The meeting with Hector and the others was held after lunch.

The Marquis of Windsor is also present because of the extremely important talks that take place.

And since they didn't say, "I just discussed it with myself," they also asked Count Cooper to be present as a witness.

It was for credibility that not only the Marquis of Windsor, but also Count Cooper came.

(You're king of a country, no matter what...)

For Isaac, Hector's decision was completely out of the question.

Honestly, I'm pulling the trigger.

However, considering the circumstances that led to the decision, it was not something to be fooled about.

"His Majesty Hector. It's too tight for a joke..."

“Lord Enfield would know it wasn't a joke.I give the kingdom, and there is no lie in it. "

― ― Isaac, who became King of Leads, was given the Fartyl Kingdom.

Isaac, who was always suspicious of his sanity, was also the one who doubted Hector's sanity in this proposal.

There is a reason why he came to this conclusion.

The Rockwell Kingdom's policy has shifted.

The Kingdom of Rockwell has made cuts to the army and started to allocate its floating budget to economic promotion.

Ten years later, twenty years later, it's still good.

But I don't know what will happen in 50 or 100 years.

The Rockwell Kingdom, with its national strength at its core, may be able to use its economic strength as a backdrop against which to fight.

Even so, we could not tighten the economy any more.

There is also a limit to buying underground resources.

If I did too much, there was also a chance that they wouldn't sell it to me, saying, "There's no point in working."

After that, all the citizens of one country may begin to wreck the surrounding country by banditry.

When that happens, Hector and the others will be in trouble.

─ ─ We have to keep them alive and not kill them, but it's hard to tighten them anymore.

But just looking at it like this, the Kingdom of Rockwell will one day take revenge on its neighbors.

Therefore, I had to think about how to deal with it.

And the way Hector and the others thought about it,

Give the country to Isaac, who became King of Leads.

That's what it was.

Of course, this does not mean giving up unconditionally.

Isaac, who married Loretta and became King Fartyl, naturally rendezvous as an alliance.

If we join forces with the Reed Kingdom, it will not be easy for the empowered Kingdom of Rockwell to do so.

Because together, we can afford to capture the Kingdom of Rockwell.

It is difficult to maintain the occupied Kingdom of Rockwell on its own.

It is difficult to capture and maintain the enclave of the Rockwell Kingdom alone.

But with Isaac standing on top of both countries, possessing sufficient national power and bordering the border, the occupation is possible.

That fact serves as a deterrent and protects the security of the country.

It was no good with alliances.

If someone like Jason shows up in either the Reed Kingdom or the Fartyl Kingdom, the relationship will be broken.

Then we'd better get Loretta and Isaac married on this occasion.

That was Hector's idea.

"I never thought I'd be able to make such a suggestion..."

As expected, Isaac couldn't answer immediately.

Although it was a one-sided offer from the Fartyl Kingdom, Isaac had some advantages.

You get a country without a war.

Moreover, by marrying Loretta, the blood of Reed's royal family becomes thicker, and there is no element to criticize Isaac's reign.

It is not just that I want you to protect it, but it also presents the benefits properly.

It was a more common-sense proposition than that of Marquis Warwick, who unilaterally pushed for marriage.

But there's a big problem with this.

- Who will be the first queen?

Of course, Isaac wanted Pamela first.

But Loretta is a princess.

If we give priority to Pamela and make Loretta the second queen, the Fartyl Kingdom will be frustrated.

It wasn't an easy question to decide.

Isaac looks to Morgan for opposition.

“I find this proposal very attractive.But at the same time, it will cause many problems.If you are confident that you will solve them, you will also receive them. ”

But it didn't make sense.

Morgan's answer was, "If you're confident, take it."

I asked for your opinion because I didn't have any, but this doesn't make sense.

Next, I ask Count Cooper for his opinion.

“The laws of the two countries are similar.Looking for differences and choosing what Lord Enfield wants will not make you dissatisfied. ”

Neither did he actively deny it.

The troubled Isaac turned to the last trump card, the Marquis of Windsor, for help.

“At first glance, it sounds like a good story.But there is still a big problem between the two countries. ”

What's that?

"It's a question of titles."

"Oh, by the way," I heard a leak from around me.

The Reed Kingdom had something bigger to offer than the rest of the world.

- The Duke's house has been awarded an honorary title for one generation.

The kingdom of Fartyl is home to the Duke of Menas.

When the nations meet, the Duke of Menas will be at the top of the aristocracy.

It was not acceptable to the nobility of the Reed Kingdom.

“We're working on a solution to that.”

At this meeting, Loretta opened her mouth for the first time.

"Just marry Amanda and make sure that all 4W are related."On top of that, if you make a Marquis and a Duke, you should have no problems.Of course, there are things that must be decided, such as whether or not you have inheritance rights.... "

Her opinion is that she will rise to the rank of nobleman in the Reed Kingdom.

The Duke's house was crushed because he had seized the throne, for good reason, he had the right to inherit the throne.

Therefore, while paying attention to that point, it was good to strike a balance between the nobles of both countries.

But Isaac wasn't keen.

I already have Pamela, and I'm sure I'll be king of the Reed Kingdom.

I did not feel the need to increase my work because I was forced to do so.

"This is not only a matter for your country, but also an interference in our internal affairs...."

"Oh, that's right." I'm sorry, sir.I feel like I'm out of my mind. ”

Loretta apologizes for having gone too far.

Isaac couldn't pursue it any further because she apologized.

“Your Majesty Hector, I think it would be a very fascinating offer for me to guarantee the legitimacy of the throne.But you can't decide in a place like this that's going to affect the fate of the nation. "

"Of course, I know."I don't intend to ask for an immediate response.But it's not something you can wait for forever.What about the deadline until Loretta graduates? "

There are still six months until Loretta graduates.

"Reply by then" means that Isaac's reign is already acknowledged.

Even if it becomes a bullshit, you won't complain.

But that's troubling.

I can't afford to do nothing to someone who shows me sincerity.

Nevertheless, we cannot allow marriage to take place lightly.

If it is a malicious request, we can counterattack it with the opposite hand.

But Hector has tried to trust Isaac and leave the country to us.

It is difficult to adopt a harsh attitude towards such a person.

Isaac seemed to be easy enough to pinpoint the difficult questions that demanded a very high level of political balance.
