I'm still talking about the treatment of Felix, but I have to go to school more than just being a student.
His treatment remains cosmic, and Isaac attends school.
So far, there's no sign of Jason or Fred dropping by on Nicole.
I thought this semester would be mild if I limited myself to school.
"Isaac! I wonder if I'll see you again..."
- Not until Fred tells me.
Isaac pays for Fred's hand grabbing his shoulder with a disgusting face.
"Stop saying that. What if they make an extra mistake?
"What kind of misunderstanding is that? Just wanted to see Count Ford."
He had no idea what kind of misunderstanding he was going to get.
At least I want you to realize what the surrounding gaze means.
"Mr. Felix is not the Count. Give the governor to his son to hide."
"It's not important there. This is Marshal Ford's great-grandson. Besides, we were out on the battlefield together. That's a good chance to listen to Marshal Ford! Let me see you. And since you will be inheriting that knight Tom's sword moves, I'd like to ask for some help."
Apparently, you're serious about wanting to make arrangements.
The Marquis Wilmente family should have an exchange with other martial arts officials.
So you must have heard about Marshal Ford from a variety of people.
I want to work with Felix, who would have taught me the sword from Tom.
I guess that's the main thing, but it didn't seem to Isaac.
Nevertheless, I am not willing to say no to Isaac.
No, but there were reasons why I couldn't accept it.
"I can let you see me... I don't think I can do it for a while."
"Oh, even if I know. I'm ready to live over here or something. Let me know when you calm down."
"When you calm down."
----------
"Sorry"
It took Felix three days to calm down.
It was not easy to recover from the regret of "if I stayed then".
It was almost hard to tell if I should rate it as being able to recover in just three days.
"Yeah, fine. That wasn't the conversation you'd touch at dinner. We should have talked about it after we had properly organized our minds."
Felix's shock must have also been the upset that he was really supposed to serve Isaac.
If we'd talked after we settled down, we wouldn't have blocked it for three days.
It was a mistake that I had trouble with the story and touched on the battle at Sonicroft.
Isaac was also reflecting on "that was just a little out of time".
This time use the conference room, Felix in front of Isaac.
My men, who were Lord to Isaac's left and right, sit side by side.
"Well, shall we start with an introduction? He is Norman. If you need anything, you can tell him and he'll have it ready."
Norman and his subordinate secretarial apprenticeships will support Felix's life in the Reid kingdom for the time being.
Introduce him first, as he will have more contact than Isaac.
"And there you are, Baron Kirby, the Knights of the House of the Duke of Enfield, and Baron Lemay, the Vice Commander. This is Irvin and Hakim, platoon leaders."
Felix turns a complex gaze against Matt and Tommy.
They are the enemy of my great-grandfather and mother.
It was not easy to accept that I would work with them like that.
"I will ask Mr. Felix to educate them. It sounds splendid when it comes to the Duke's Knights, but there aren't a total of fifty. One day you will join the Knights of the Marquis of Wellrod. I will gain experience leading a large number of people at that time, but I think you should also have the knowledge by then. Let's start with a year and see how far we can go."
"... don't you even consider the possibility of not telling us what we need to do seriously?
Felix wondered what Isaac believed.
If it is normal, it is an occasion where it is not strange to think that you will harass your family's enemies.
In fact, Felix thought, "All you have to do is teach us something unusual and general".
I'm not going to teach you lies, but I wasn't even going to teach you seriously.
But Isaac had the certainty that Felix should be able to teach him well.
Therefore, I do not expect to be clueless.
That's why he had a flat attitude.
"So it's a one-year contract. The contract is terminated if you can only teach something as obvious as the one in the specialty book. You will be asked to return to your country."
"Can you let me go back to my country? Without punishment?
"Yeah, that's right."
- I won't even punish you.
- Let him go back to the country.
This is an increasingly unusual response.
Instead of "Isaac is gentle," plant the impression that "Isaac is suspicious" strongly in Felix.
"Instruction for the four of us is like an aside. There's something else I really want you to do."
(Ta-da!)
In the first place, there was something wrong with hiring yourself.
I don't even like mentoring my people.
It was clear that there was another purpose.
(I hope I don't go back to the country and be ordered to assassinate His Majesty, etc...)
Isaac wouldn't be surprised if he ordered me to think, "No way."
Felix stands up.
"The Rockwell kingdom has now shrunk its army and begun to allocate its budget and talent to economic policy. That's true, isn't it?
"... you're right"
This is nothing to hide.
The Kingdom of Rockwell is placed in a special situation where there is no problem in downsizing the army.
That was about not having to worry about being invaded by neighbouring countries.
If we govern directly, we incur responsibility for the people, but not for the territory of another country (...).
It's less laborious to let the Royal Rockwell rule than to occupy it.
So neighbouring countries don't attack the Kingdom of Rockwell.
Marquis Buick took that policy backwards.
He was trying to shrink the army of gold-eating bugs and divide the floating personnel into primary and secondary industries.
- Reduce spending and increase income.
It is a bold method that cannot be easily done, even if we know that other countries will not attack us.
Isaac wanted to harass the Marquis of Buick because of this thoughtful goodness.
This is a massive move that cannot be hidden from other countries in the end, so Felix also honestly acknowledged the country's movements.
"Soldiers have new jobs. Talent in the military fields will also struggle at first, but if you get used to the job, you will be able to do it well. So, who can only fight? Of course, the military should remain a priority. But there will really be those who will blur out of office, and I believe there will be those who are dissatisfied with the formation of an army whose main purpose is to maintain law and order. What do you think about that? Don't you know him?
Felix was beginning to wonder what Isaac was trying to do.
The impact of this response is enormous.
- To the country, to people.
Isaac is probably trying to pull it out.
This will be negative for the Kingdom of Rockwell and positive for those in need of work.
I have trouble judging just because I know that.
"Well, how was it? All I remember is that you worked so desperately for the Kingdom of Rockwell."
That's why Felix stumbled.
I couldn't sell my country lightly.
Even if they could be abandoned by the country, they could not abandon the loyalty they had sworn before.
I'm not educated to imitate it like it's easy to go back to sleep.
Whether this cut me off by Isaac or not, I was proud to be ready to die at the forefront.
"Well, I thought you'd answer that"
Even as Isaac said, "Hehe, sir. There's a good man," he refuses to sell his coworkers in light.
Think about explaining the situation first.
"Actually, there's a shortage of officers at the Marquis Wellrod house. With the massive expansion of armaments over the past few years, soldiers don't have enough commanders to lead them."
"Aren't there enough martial officers in the Reid kingdom, too?
"There are numbers. In fact, I have an application for 'hire me because I'm a good person, although I didn't get a chance to show my head'. But most of them are young men inexperienced in war. We want to mix experience in moderation to reinforce our strength as an army. Those who want to give up their military posts to young people. Or can we give the conceded one more chance? It's not a bad story because we don't throw it away as a soldier."
- Lack of human resources due to military expansion.
Commanders don't just have to train in how to handle weapons and line up like soldiers.
It takes time to develop, so much so that you can't compare to a soldier.
Isaac was looking to compensate for his weakness due to a shortage of commanders with gunpowder weapons, but that's what he would do if he were to get commanders from other countries.
Anyway, the opponent is a member of the Rockwell kingdom.
There is no duty to the Reid kingdom.
By the way, you should have a hard time getting Isaac to obey you because he could have a grudge rather than no benevolence.
"... just because you're young doesn't mean you're useless. Wouldn't there be some people out there who would show their heads if they stood on the battlefield?
It wasn't easy for Felix to admit that it wasn't a bad story.
Move with Isaac's policy.
Now there's a man in front of you who's young and shows up at the corner of his head.
"Because I'm young," he replies, "I shouldn't take it lightly.
Isaac had heard his answer with such a hard look.
"You're absolutely right. But if that's the case, it's like when you put a cone in the bag, you should be out of one head. And those people, they won't let go anywhere. I'm not incompetent, although I'm not good at flying. I believe that there are only those who are unwilling to introduce you."
"Maybe they just didn't get a chance to put it in the bag, either."
Somehow Felix was in a strange situation of sheltering a young martial officer in the Reid kingdom.
But that was something I knew I didn't have to tell you.
"Of course I'll give you a chance. But excessive expectations are not good. We have to give them time to grow. Until they grow up, we need to secure the human resources to assist or educate them. In that regard, in addition to the war with the Kingdom of Fartil, the Kingdom of Rockwell is engaged in skirmishes at its borders with the Republic of Farragut and the Principality of Gridley. This is unlikely to be the Reid kingdom surrounded by allies. Don't you find it pathetic that you have to retire without being able to share your accumulated experience with anyone? And this is for you, too."
I found Felix's determination to be hard, so I shake it.
"What would His Majesty Garrett think if he learned the facts of the Sonicroft Liberation Battle?
To Isaac's words, Felix breathed.
- What if the country finds out?
I don't even have to think about it.
At that time, if Felix had stayed on the battlefield and fought, he would have been able to defeat the Reid Royal Army.
As a true culprit, he would be thoroughly condemned.
The royal family's life is guaranteed, but it could be killed by the nobles.
It was so dangerous information by then.
"Heh, Your Majesty should understand. In that situation, he said," Oh, I had to. "
Exactly. Felix couldn't hide the upset either.
The tension was included in the words.
"You will, you will. His Majesty Garrett is a wise man. Perhaps you understand. So, what happens after Uncle Collins tells you he hired me for a favor?
"... do you mean you suspect I was inside? That's impossible. If we had won that war, the Ford Counts would have been marquised by the Marquis. Moreover, there would have been a territory within the kingdom of Fatil. There is no reason to betray you at that stage. Your Majesty understands that very well."
Though it was also a horrible Isaac word to think about, Felix manages to deny it.
I wouldn't be called King Xian like Elias, but Garrett is quite a figure, too.
He believed it would not be easy to suspect.
"Surely there's no reason to betray you at that stage. But like I said before, I don't care about the truth. For example, someone who has wasted a difficult pawn, the descendant of a meritorious minister, would be desperate to deviate from the spearhead of criticism. Ignore the truth."
Felix couldn't reply this time either.
It cannot be denied as a possibility.
I can believe Garrett, but I don't trust the Marquis Buick.
He's the one who sent himself to the Reid Kingdom.
It can't be done.
Seeing as "another push" from his appearance like that, Isaac carries out the chase without getting his hair in between.
"When you made the decision to send you out, didn't His Majesty Garrett feel 'sorry' or anything backwards?
"It's, well..."
"Oh, you shouldn't. Humans who feel hindsight are the ones who look to their hearts for salvation and excuses. When you're late for the rendezvous, you're gonna make excuses like," The road was crowded, "right? His Majesty Garrett is in the most pressurized position when the country is in a state of extreme confusion. It shouldn't be a surprise to push someone to blame for the defeat and try to make it easier. Your Majesty is a human being, too. It's possible you misjudged because you're tired and can't choose the right answer."
Felix pushed silently and got annoyed.
It is not something that can happen in real life, and it cannot be denied that they talk about possibilities.
Besides, Isaac's story was one that I didn't even want to imagine being realistic.
They poke at me like that and I can't keep up with my thoughts.
Isaac rose from his chair, circled the table and stood behind Felix.
Put your hand on his shoulder and put your mouth close to his ear.
"It's okay. This is the worst pattern. The fact that the Reid Kingdom side struggled is not included in the dossier for other countries. Only the nobility of the Kingdom of Reed is informed, so it will still take some time for it to pass down to the Kingdom of Rockwell. Rest assured."
"Don't worry......, you can't possibly do it. I can't protect my family when I'm in Reed Kingdom. What the hell is going on..."
"That's why it's okay. Now, remember who you work for. Would the Kingdom of Rockwell do harm to my men, their families? Hiding the owner of a house that has contributed a great deal to a country called the Count Ford family, and offering it to you until you're in a good mood."
"It's..."
Felix's body starts to tremble.
Because the choices I can make have been essentially narrowed down into two.
- Do you work for Isaac?
- Do you believe in Garrett and minimize your cooperation with Isaac?
The former was an easy road for him.
He was abandoned once.
Changing the master to serve is less of a psychological burden.
Plus you have the brains to make other countries even dance on your palms.
There is also less psychological and physical strain, just for not having to be on the dancing side.
The latter was a tough road.
Felix's retreat had a decisive impact on the defeat.
When the matter is passed on to the State, the eyes of the world's Count Ford family become harsh.
That would be the same for Garrett.
Would you be able to ignore the Buick Marquis' phrase "let the Ford Count family take responsibility" in an attempt to mislead your own demeanor?
Unfortunately, there was no time to build absolute trust with Garrett.
"It is inevitable to rule the country," he said, anxious that he might not be thought of again.
"My favor will not adversely affect the Kingdom of Rockwell. Instruction to the Barons of Kirby doesn't make that much of an impact. 'Cause at this stage, there's just the possibility of leading a unit of the Marquis of Wellrod."
There are no lies in this word.
Matt and Tommy may be told by Elias that they want to be "generals" in the future, but so far there's no sign of being pulled out.
As Isaac's men, he would just lead the knighthood and soldier of the Marquis of Welrod.
"Pulling out the Rockwell Kingdom martial arts officers is a good thing. Remind me as far as you know. Doesn't anybody else want to get upset about what's going to happen anymore? Does anyone have the kind of sad determination in their chest that they have to act for a man who has lost his job? I'm just saying it's going to be a receptacle for those people. It helps people."
Isaac keeps talking in a conscious and gentle voice, as if he's really worried.
"In the first place, there is a kingdom of Fartil between you and the Kingdom of Rockwell. There is no reason to wage war from the Kingdom of Reed, nor is the Kingdom of Rockwell shifting from military to economic. There's nothing wrong with pulling out a martial artist. Besides, I'm not asking you to pull out the general class. I just want you to invite a troop commander who can lead about a hundred people. That's the position most affected by the reduction of soldiers, isn't it? This is for everyone."
"Yes... maybe it is..."
Felix is also lost.
I'm lost, though. "Shouldn't we follow Isaac's suggestion? I was beginning to lean towards the idea."
"It will also be for the Kingdom of Rockwell to send dissatisfied molecules out of the country. Be sure to think about it. I'm not going to do anything wrong."
I almost wanted to make up my mind on this occasion, but Isaac, who decided it was impossible to attack any more, takes a step back.
The sooner, the better, but we still have time.
It's a waste of time to rush me.
I decided to persuade him carefully here.
"Yes, I did. I'll think about it..."
Felix replies, but doesn't look good.
The more serious you are, the more difficult it is to answer.
It is also natural that I do not feel well.
"You suddenly seem to have spoken too much of everything. We're done, let me show you to your room once."
I heard "room," and Matt gave me an unchanging look.
Because it's about the room he used to use.
I'm in the middle of finding a mansion for Felix, so I'm supposed to have him use the hotel or the bachelor dorm room.
Some of the mansions have classified information, so you can't stay in a room at this stage.
You can stay at the Mansion only after you show clarity and Isaac's willingness to cooperate.
Isaac gives instructions to the secretary apprentice to guide Felix to his room.
It will be until he calms down to ask the answer.
(Surprisingly narrow nerves? No, I don't have a choice. I guess I just learned the truth that shapes my life. Stronger that is more impotent)
Nor was Isaac going to even tell Felix not to snap.
If the hard things continue, they will lose their resistance to the hard things.
I'd be in trouble if this were to continue, but if it's just for now, I should take a big look at it.
"My lord, may I?
Thinking about Felix, Norman talked to me.
Looks like there's some kind of prophecy.
"What's up?
"The... I think it would be better if you just stood behind them and stopped whispering."
He seems dissatisfied with Isaac's behavior.
Isaac shut up and waited for the continuation of his words.
"Then it just looks like the devil is whispering"
"Devil!?
Isaac is surprised by the unexpected words.
"I was talking to you gently..."
"I shouldn't do that. Angels lead people on the right path with tough words, but the devil corrupts people with gentle words. His Excellency's earlier impression when he had a meeting with Uncle Collins also coincided...... Rumors only remind me of my predecessor, Lord Welrod."
Where I tried to get rid of the escape and move it in the direction I wanted, it overlapped with Jude's appearance.
Unlike Jude, Isaac has the personality not to make you feel afraid, so Norman thought you should take advantage of its beauty.
That's why I try to brave Isaac.
"Norman is right. Your Excellency may be as gentle as he used to be. But the gentleness of His Excellency, who gave us the Elf medicine that caused Nathan to get hurt, and his earlier appearance are similar and different. I can't say it's generally bad because it has a different purpose..."
Irvin agrees with Norman.
Even with gentle words on the surface, he was afraid of those around him.
I'm not saying that's bad.
Because a trustworthy boss should be welcomed.
But I felt the loneliness that Isaac had changed just a little bit.
"That's it. You didn't have to bother standing behind Lord Felix, did you? I don't think I would have felt anything as part of the negotiations if we had just sat down and talked. Then no one would have thought it was the Devil's Whisperer."
Hakim will also say what he thinks.
He argues that Isaac was more of a "bad impression" than a bad one.
Others agreed with this opinion.
"I see, the impression you get in one way is very different"
(I tried it with a nori that tells me, "Now is the time for the devil to smile," but shouldn't I use it much?
I thought it was an effective way to get lost in my mind, but it didn't seem to be a good time to do it.
After I get my say to the Marquis Buick, he makes all the bad impressions stand out.
Isaac also reflects on this.
"Okay. Let's be careful not to do it normally. I don't want to make a bad impression on my surroundings either. But it seems effective when you want to show someone like Grandpa Soo, so I'll use it separately depending on the situation."
"Ah, no...... It's not a bad thing. Impressions like those of the predecessor Marquis Welrod mean that... Because it's reliable. I just thought some people would be surprised."
Norman rushes to start explaining.
I didn't want you to be like Jude if possible, but it was just something different from Isaac's image so far, and I'm not denying Jude was bad.
As a nobleman, because Jude's way was one of the right answers.
But it's also true that the more I advise you, the less I want you to be like Jude.
After all, Norman was also a child of men.
"Surprise... Maybe Lisa and Tiffany will be surprised. I've never been over there to be careful before I got used to it. Thanks, I'll be careful. I haven't had any experience, so I've been trying a lot. If you ever think it's going to be a problem, don't hesitate to tell me."
But Isaac doesn't know what Norman thinks.
I just thought he was simply advising me that "my previous image breaks down".
(Even if you do something similar, what you were doing just before will have a huge impact on your impression, so you should think carefully about the steps before doing it)
The spirit of challenge is important, but so is the image we have developed so far.
If you mean you even made a bad impression on the Normans, then someone else in red would have a worse impression.
It's bad for people to have the impression that it's "awful" even if it threatens people.
It must be moderately suppressed to the extent that it seems "threatening but also fair".
Its hard to add or subtract, but all this had to be solved by gaining experience on the ground.
