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

A messenger arrived from Hector to Isaac when a week passed after he arrived in Askis.

It's a call that I need to talk to you about right away.

I ask the Earl of Lancaster to accompany me this time.

Then I decided to ask Theodore to accompany me.

To say hello to Hector.

Upon arrival at the Royal Palace, Isaac and the others were immediately put through to the reception room.

Hector and the others were already waiting there.

Before apologizing for keeping Isaac and the others waiting, Hector pointed to the chair and urged him to "sit down quickly".

As ordered, Isaac and the others sit in their chairs.

Nature and Isaac sit in the center, with Count Lancaster and Theodore sitting on the left and right.

When Theodore greets him, Hector answers as well.

But Hector was showing a "nowhere to say hello" rush.

"After this discussion, I was really curious about Uncle Glenville. I searched the house to clear his suspicions. If nothing comes out, acquittal. The Foreign Secretary can't, but he wanted to give him a different position. But that's where this came out."

Hector gives Isaac a single letter.

Isaac finally received it with both hands.

"May I read it?

"Oh."

Isaac opens the letter so that we can both see it.

"Wow..."

"This is!

"What, what's going on?

Isaac donned and the Earl of Lancaster was surprised.

Theodore gets confused without knowing what's going on in the kingdom of Fatil right now.

But you couldn't explain it to me, so I'll just shut up and see how it goes.

The letter came from an ambassador stationed in the Kingdom of Rockwell.

"Currently, even the entire city of Wang Capital is down to the point where the appearance of guards is blatant. In the Kingdom of Rockwell, massive war preparations have begun to mobilize up to the guards. There were disturbing signs, and they cautioned me. '

To sum up briefly, this kind of content was written.

The ambassador who had been seconded to the Kingdom of Rockwell was doing his job properly.

It was the minister, Count Glenville, who was not working.

"That means..."

Count Lancaster took his breath away.

I can't think of anything like not reporting such important information.

"It's too early to assume that this was all he was betraying. I could have forgotten to report it."

Everyone's gaze gathers in Hector.

That's a big problem.

It is also understandable that he looks serious.

"... that's what I thought. At the time I found this letter, a servant working at his mansion whispered, 'This past year, Uncle Glenville has been meeting with the unfamiliar'. After further investigation, we found a secret book entitled 'If you cooperate with the Kingdom of Rockwell, you will be welcomed as a nobleman with territory'"

I would have left a secret book to say "pay me right" after the war.

Something to secure my reward has proven my betrayal.

"Isn't that a big problem!?

Theodore gives a surprise voice.

I didn't think you'd suddenly hear about an important case when I asked you to say hello.

"Yes, it's a big problem. If it weren't for Isaac, our country would have been in trouble."

Hector flaunts his face.

The Marquis of Sonicroft likewise had the look of bitter worms chewed up.

It was a laughable event, such as the fact that the Foreign Minister, a heavy town of the state, was turning back to another country.

Just crushing information about military mobilisation would be extremely effective.

Besides, it will also be insurance when the invasion fails.

If Isaac hadn't now disputed Count Glenville, he might have ceded it even though he didn't have to surrender the territory.

"Think about what each and every event means, and spot what's hidden behind your actions. That's a lot of analytical power. I was just wondering if you have eyes that foresee everything like God did if you hadn't spoken before."

"I also thought the words and actions of my predecessor, Marquis Welrod, were due to an inspiration...... It may have just looked like a statement that came to mind on the spot with very good analytical skills"

When Hector is impressed, the Marquis of Sonicroft follows suit as well.

It seems like the rhetoric for just plain worries has really come true.

- A pawn emerges from the ladybug.

The word was on Isaac's head.

"Not that I could have prevented it, but I could have noticed it where it was retrieved. Thank you."

I don't bow my head, but Hector's serious eyes convey my gratitude.

Even though it's a lie, saving (...) the predicament makes Isaac feel better.

"No, I did what I deserved as an ally. We're here to help."

When I say "it's a hoax" in this situation, Hector and the others feel awkward, not just Isaac.

I can't help it, so I'll pretend I really noticed.

It was Isaac's concern.

Hector liked the attitude of not being proud of the handle.

"I naturally thank the Reid Kingdom for coming to reinforcements. But I have to thank you separately for that."

"… then, if I were to ask for help, would you take precedence over the others?

"Of course, I don't mind. But I don't think I'll ever need help, and I don't think I can."

"No, I'm sure the time will come to rely on it. Thank you then."

Hector laughs bitterly.

Because I can't imagine Isaac asking for help.

And if I were to ask for help, it would be when things went wrong with elves and Dwarves.

I don't know how far we can help Isaac.

Practically nothing is required.

In return, it was a fat answer that "practically free" was fine.

Thanks to you I was able to get back to you immediately.

Of course I didn't take it as I said, and I was thinking about thanking him for money and all that.

During this time, Theodore watched the two of them talk with his mouth open to Pocan.

Sure, I heard about Count Glenville from Isaac, but I didn't even hear he was betraying me.

I couldn't keep up with much of the speed of expansion and the magnitude of the situation.

The same goes for Count Lancaster.

I have met with Count Glenville before, so the surprise is overwhelming.

Until now, I have shown no bare hands betraying the kingdom of Fatil.

"I didn't know he was betraying me," my throat dries up to karakara.

He was swallowing a shout that seemed to surprise him less, along with the tea served.

While his surroundings were baffling, Isaac had one in mind.

(Zamami! And laughing is easy... That's a bit of a mess)

It's not like I knew what would happen to a traitor.

Besides, Count Glenville is the one who scorned himself for riding Garrett's words.

There is no room for sympathy.

But the effect of finding a traitor is enormous.

(Don't be suspicious if the traitor is removed from the negotiations and can no longer be contacted)

If it was a phase of suspicion, I could give false information and swim.

But I've already found evidence, and Count Glenville should understand his position.

I can't let them move any freer now.

What I can do has been greatly limited.

(No, in the first place -)

"Is Uncle Glenville still alive?

The question is if he's still alive.

It's during the war, so it could be "the traitor is a lone party, an immediate death sentence".

Alive or dead, the means you can take will change dramatically.

I had to confirm my life and death before I could think about the future.

"It's abominable, but we're going to keep it alive until the war is over. Maybe I can use it for something. Could there be a plan? If there is, I want you to let me know."

Hector was looking at Isaac with the kind of eyes he expected.

It's like saying, "I'm looking forward to seeing how Isaac uses it."

The only way to meet that expectation is to meet it.

"Now let me finish by asking you to help for the kingdom of Fatil"

Isaac laughed at Nicole and began to talk about the measures he had in mind.

----------

Late at night, a man approached the Rockwell Royal Army position.

"Who is it!

Naturally, the soldier on watch calls the man off.

A man dressed like a poor man in a miserable outfit illuminated by a burning fire.

But I can see that its bloody face is not poor.

He's more suspicious than any other.

The soldier said, "Are you a spy?" I suspected.

That was right in a way.

"Shh, lower your voice. Tell His Majesty Garrett, 'Here comes the use from our collaborators'. And I'm sure you'll see."

"What, to Your Majesty?

The soldier was confused.

Sure, it doesn't seem like he's just a poor guy, but all of a sudden I'm hesitant to take the story to Garrett.

I threw my gaze at my colleague and I said, "What do we do?" and ask for an opinion.

"It's impossible for us to judge. In the meantime, let's talk to the captain"

"Are you sure you want to wait in the shadow of the tent there? I don't really want anyone out there to see me."

"... if you make a suspicious move, I'll hang up."

Even at the bottom, they know that it's not good for someone to see a secret envoy.

Two of them follow a man's watch and travel from the outside to an invisible position.

The lookout captain-like came at once.

"We can't let His Majesty see us all of a sudden... You have something to prove your identity?

I am aware that the captain is also unscrupulous.

An envoy can't have anything to prove his identity.

But rumors have it that "Marshal Ford was assassinated in the line by a man from the Reid kingdom".

You couldn't have taken a suspicious person to Garrett.

Yes, sir.

"Do you have one!

The captain couldn't help but be surprised because the man lightly said "I have".

It is too careless.

But the fact that a man gave a quote from his nostalgia made a point.

You don't have to prove your name or anything if you're a cracker.

"If you tell His Majesty Garrett, I think he'll come and confirm if you have one crack of the quota. And that will prove our identity."

"Okay. I'll tell him right away."

If you have something to prove your identity, you don't have to keep asking questions here.

The captain orders his men to report to Garrett.

"Needless to say, please keep it a secret that someone like me is here."

"Of course, I know. Nobody's here this evening, and I'm not talking to anyone. I'll tell my men a lot."

It just makes it hard to act when someone finds out that there's an "inside man".

It was the right thing to do in these cases to decide that no one was here on the surface.

I'm not a soldier of Ping, so the captain knew about that.

Matching the quota with the secretary who came to confirm, and being able to obtain confirmation that he was a messenger from the Earl of Glenville, he was immediately taken to Garrett.

It's late at night, so I guess I was asleep.

Garrett looks sleepy.

"I apologize for the rest of the day. But in the daytime, someone might see us, so we had to come at this hour."

"I don't mind. What can I do for you?"

"I have a letter for you"

A man took off his clothes and took out a letter sewn into the inside of his collar.

The letter goes through the secretary, into Garrett's hands.

"Well, this is amazing"

It was just something that woke me up after reading it lightly.

"I worked for His Majesty Hector and succeeded in spreading his distrust of Isaac Welrod to distrust of the entire Reid kingdom. Disbelief remains the same now that new reinforcements have arrived. We are positive about assigning parts of the eastern region, including the Duke of Menace, and improving relations with the Kingdom of Rockwell. However, up to about a quarter of the national territory can be ceded. If you want more, you don't have to quit the war."

Count Glenville did a good job.

Looks like Isaac was removed from the negotiating table for taking Isaac lightly, but there still seems to be some trust from Hector.

He successfully guided Hector's thinking and worked for the Kingdom of Rockwell.

Besides, that's not all.

He tells me as much as I can demand.

It makes a big difference whether you know this or not.

You can't cross Hector's patience and aim for critical lines that can be compromised.

- How far do you intend to compromise?

Just knowing that, this moderation negotiation won as well.

If you don't know, you have to let the exploration in and see how it goes.

If you're not willing to compromise at all, you're about to retreat early, even ready for some damage.

But we don't need to retreat if Hector's going to compromise.

You just have to keep showing the attitude of "don't quit the showdown" and keep negotiating.

That way, we can get officially fertile land, not far away.

Thanks to this information I was in a favourable position.

"I am grateful to Uncle Glenville. Tell him I'll keep my word."

Garrett tries to lower the envoy by saying so.

But I don't try to move right away.

I'm trying to bring.

Look at that and realize what you're looking for.

"Give him my thanks for delivering the letter and drop him off outside the position."

Ordering one of the secretaries to do so, the man walked away with a light foothold after a gratuity.

"It's a cash thing. If the Lord is the Lord, then ministers are ministers."

"But thanks to that, I'm helping. You should take a big look at this."

"Right. Those who achieve merit must be rewarded with a worthy reward."

It is only natural to give rewards commensurate with your work.

But Count Glenville has betrayed the country.

Not that Garrett can say about betrayal, but a man who betrays for reward feels bad just because he exists.

Nevertheless, it is also true that we rely on its work.

We'll have to have a pretty good place as a territory to do it, not a peripheral rural area.

"I rest a little longer. Rest in moderation."

Garrett leaves his men out of his tent, lying on a simple bed and closing his eyes.

Reid Kingdom reinforcements arrived and were worried about what would happen to the negotiations.

But that worry was dispelled.

His expression was reassuring.

----------

"- I was advising His Majesty Hector about what it felt like... Don't come up with anything to say this year. It's more than a rumor."

A little while back, after the meeting with Hector.

When he returned to the position, Theodore told Randolph what he felt at the meeting.

Isaac suggested that instead of helping Count Glenville's relatives, he should cooperate.

Inform false information at the hands of traitors.

This will stop the Rockwell Royal Army until the Regular Army of the Kingdom of Lead arrives.

Furthermore, by reassuring them that "the war is practically over," it has the effect of making them think that they do not need to use surprise attacks or other means to ensure their safety.

- While ensuring your safety, let the opponent's available options be limiting to ensure victory.

To Theodore, Isaac already seemed only as overwhelming as Jude.

"By the way, you know I'm from the Marquis Windsor family, right?

"Yes, of course."

Isaac had no idea why Theodore was saying that now.

But I was able to guess what I wanted to say in the words after this.

"And Randolph and I have a good relationship, by the way."

"Yes."

"It's hard for you to forget that you're the same nobleman."

"... Yes"

(You're kind of persistent)

I'm Pamela's father.

"I know. Both Mr. Pamela and His Highness Jason are now my friends. Rest assured."

Theodore was desperate not to have a spear pointed at him in case.

I appealed to both families to be friendly and to ensure their safety.

I even brought up Pamela for that.

This was Isaac making a statement that distracted him and made him think of himself around "because I like Pamela" and not "because I'm friends with Pamela".

Theodore was disturbed enough to bring up the Pamela thing.

But when Isaac distracts him, he realizes, "It wasn't a good idea to talk about Pamela," he chills his liver.

"In the meantime, let's get along. Become"

"Yeah, yeah. Absolutely."

Isaac shakes Theodore's hand back for a handshake.

Isaac is also very welcome to create friendly relationships because he is my future stepfather.

There was no reason to say no.

"Theodore. Whatever it takes for a kid. That's a little..."

"It's too late to be like the predecessor Marquis Welrod. We should get along while we can."

Theodore says back to Randolph.

He seems keen to get into people because he struggles in his son-in-law's position.

"But you don't have to try to get along with me that far..."

"What are you talking about? Be more confident. You're trusted enough to ask for your opinion from His Majesty Hector, who hasn't seen you long ago, even though it's amazing that you just picked up Marshal Ford. He's more influential than a bad politician."

"Really?

"Yes."

Theodore nods forcefully at Isaac, who is confident.

Even so, Isaac doesn't have a bad feeling.

Because I've never been involved in anything that big in my previous life.

But when they say "awesome" and get on with it, it's going to hurt again.

In the meantime, Isaac hammered, changing the subject and moving away from the "how awesome I am" story.
