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

264, age fifteen, in preparation for the study group.

Day off.

Isaac decided to ask what his grandfather thought of the faction.

Morgan took it easy on me, so I got to talk to him in his room.

"So, what can I do for you?

This time Isaac has pens and notes for you.

So Morgan figured he'd be asking the rest of the questions.

"Actually, I'd like to hear more about the faction."

"Faction's?

Describe Isaac's fourth faction around young people - the study group.

Though Morgan showed confusion with the word Fourth Faction, he admires the philosophy.

"If that's about it, I'll tell you as much as I want."

Faction matters are a domestic matter.

Morgan was horrified that he might be asked to "sneak up on confidential information being negotiated with foreign countries for the future".

It is arguably the first time Isaac has actively asked me about the aristocratic community.

Besides, that was something to do with taking over the house in the future.

My nose starts getting a little rough trying to show him what a dependable grandfather looks like.

"Now tell me where your grandfather stands in the aristocracy and what you're doing"

"Hmm?"

Here Morgan snaps his neck.

Because I've been running away from the basics.

But that question was resolved immediately.

"It's about Isaac, so I guess I was previewing it before I asked the question," he rethought.

Morgan thinks we should skip the basics and talk to him, as he wants.

"Right...... Basically, he brings together those who belong to the faction with Lord Windsor. Putting this guy together is pretty tough because it looks easy. You're also deciding who to push to which post. Others coordinate with representatives of different factions. Contents change from time to time."

"I see. It's basically the same thing you do at work,"

"That's right. It's more than just standing on top of people, putting your people together and negotiating with them is pretty much the same."

There is no such thing as fancy activity that children tend to dream about in faction activities.

It's just plain work.

I properly told Isaac the truth so that Isaac wouldn't dream too much of the faction.

- Sure, that worked.

Isaac gives a blatantly disappointing look.

Morgan said, "Isaac seems to be an adult too and is still a child. Should I have spoken to him a little more interested," he regretted.

But I got a disappointing look for a reason.

"Is that all? For example, suggesting an aristocratic policy…"

The reason Isaac was disappointed was "kind of squishy," as Morgan thought.

But its content is heavy.

- Why don't you propose a policy that favors your faction?

And because it was like asking Morgan.

Isaac was not disappointed with the job itself, but with his grandfather, who had done nothing as the head of the faction.

Maybe I'm not very active as Foreign Affairs Minister either.

Isaac turns his suspicious eyes to his grandfather.

Looking into his eyes, Morgan realized that his grandson had doubts about his abilities.

"That's not true! I'm just not doing it because I don't need to propose a new policy or anything. I'm just not doing anything right now because I can maintain the status quo, and if things change, I'm going to suggest something to suit the situation. I've done that before."

Morgan rushes to deny it.

Exactly. I can't leave this suspicion behind.

I had to solve the misunderstanding properly.

But that leaves Isaac with new doubts.

"So, aren't you no different from the neutrals?

"That's different, too. The aristocracy is now in an overwhelmingly favourable situation. I'm just maintaining the status quo because I don't need to propose any more policies. Maintaining the status quo is also a big deal. We need to keep the Kings in check."

- This is not enough yet.

I thought so. Morgan decided to be a little more specific.

"Think about it. Local aristocrats today have the right to military power and are free to govern. If we were to extend our powers any further, we would have to stop paying taxes to the royal family or step into granting diplomatic freedom. That would be a departure from my authority as a local nobleman. A small state becomes disturbed within the state. You know that's an element of confusion, right?

"Yes, it doesn't mean you should expand your authority, either."

"Yes."

Isaac understood me for a moment.

Morgan is relieved that he doesn't have to disappoint his grandson with this.

"Surely it's troublesome if everyone does whatever they want"

"When local aristocrats act as they please, the framework of the Reid Kingdom becomes meaningless. When I say I insist on expanding the powers of local aristocracy, I don't have to keep the moderation. Those who do not observe moderation…"

"So you'll be solemnly sanctified by someone like Grandpa Song."

"Exactly"

It is fundamental to think "so that there will be good results for the Reid kingdom" for all factions.

- The aristocrats "expand the powers of local aristocrats so that they can make quick decisions in the field"

- The Wang party said, "Concentrate on the royal family so that we can hit things together"

- Neutralists say, "If things are going well as they are now, put in unnecessary reforms to make it easier for the state to stabilize"

It is a gathering of those with such a policy.

Of course, some people want to secure better posts in power relations between factions, but in most cases they maintain a minimum degree of moderation.

Because if you let out too much greed, it will be handled in a sweep that happens every few decades.

"Some people move factions from the Wang party to the aristocracy, but all they do is reconsider and think, 'If you were concentrating your power on the royal family, you wouldn't have made it to the kingdom of Fatil'. As it stands, it would be a more immediate decision to grant military power to local nobles."

"... if we can talk to the provinces right away using magic or something, does that mean concentrating all our military rights on the royal family will also be taken into account?

Isaac thought of things like telephones and radios.

Decentralization is progressing because it will take time to contact me now, but I will have to ask for the royal decision once the means of communication are in place.

Thanks to the fact that science has not developed, there is freedom of movement.

Everyday life is inconvenient, but you can also be ambitious thanks to inconvenience.

The lack of scientific development was also a major benefit.

"Can we talk to the region right away... It would be convenient to have such magic. Think of something as interesting as ever. But then the Foreign Secretary will be excused, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm in trouble."

Morgan imagined Elias speaking directly to the king of another country.

If kings can talk to each other without using messengers, they talk fast.

I laugh bitterly when I think of ministers and ambassadors losing their jobs.

"Your Majesty, we can't do all the work on our own, so I don't think there's going to be any more diplomatic work."

"I hope so. I've never heard of such magic, and it would be cheap for a while. Unless you do something."

Now I see Isaac with eyes like Morgan sees a naughty boy.

I felt like Isaac would do something about it.

But I'm not going to do that to Isaac.

Instead of just how to make a phone, I don't even have the basics of electricity.

At best, the fruit is stabbed with copper and zinc plates, so much so that electricity flows when the wires are connected.

With regard to telephone calls and such, we could only leave it to the genius hundreds of years later.

"Exactly how can you do this with magic? Let's get back to that. Now that the aristocracy has gained the authority it can hope for, it is not seeking to expand any further. Those belonging to the Wang Party also began to think about the effectiveness of giving local nobility military rights in the war ahead. Is that okay?

"You are now. But there's also the advantage of concentrating power on the royal family, so we won't all be moving to the aristocracy."

Isaac was a little hooked on Morgan's words.

"Is Grandpa also given a certain appreciation for the idea of the Wang Party?

"Absolutely. The good is good, and the bad is bad. Just because you think the idea of an aristocrat is more correct doesn't mean you think all the ideas of a king party are bad. It's all the same, so there are those who move because they think there are more righteous places in the aristocracy."

"It's not just about profits, it's about shifting claims."

What you think is right is not always right.

That's what Isaac has felt so far in his life.

- I belonged to a faction that my parents belonged to, so I belonged to too, but I move to a faction that I thought was right when I took the lead.

I guess that happens a lot.

Based on Morgan's condition, I could not feel any aversion to those who move factions, etc.

"There are more aristocrats in the civilian lineage because we understand from the centre that local governance is physically difficult. There are many king partisans in the family line of martial officers because they think it is easier to do it when fighting when they are able to unify and run armies throughout the kingdom. Civilians are politics, martial officers are military and there are many places where compromises can be made if they are not in areas where each strongly advocates. I'm guessing that's why the warring partisan humans are moving to the aristocracy"

"The current political situation is your influence," Morgan looks at Isaac.

I did not make it to the reinforcements of the kingdom of Fatil.

Or, if he had lost in battle, the Wang party would have been in his favor by now.

Since Isaac has achieved a magnificent victory, more people are to be saddled from the Wang party to the aristocracy.

Morgan felt strange and was about to have a fuzzy laugh when he heard about the faction by now.

"So I think it's a good idea for the kids to discuss the faction. You should fully discuss what you think is right and become the faction you want. You're Lord Enfield now."

That being said, Morgan pointed a lonely glance at Isaac somewhere.

"We'll talk about it, but I'm thinking about being a nobleman. I think the idea of a nobleman suits you better."

- Mostly in the direction of "not concentrating on the royal family".

But the colour of joy came to Morgan's eyes.

The fact that Isaac became a member of the same faction meant that there was no need for factional strife in the home.

Morgan had a lot going on too, so I don't want a domestic dispute.

Not knowing Isaac's thoughts, he was honestly pleased with his grandson's choice.

----------

After discussing it with Morgan, Isaac heads to the pet room.

Because Kendra was supposed to be there.

(The doctrinal claims are for each person. But that's why it's hard)

Just because you belong to a faction doesn't mean you unconditionally endorse the idea.

This also means that even if you take in the faction leaders, those who belong to it can not be taken in together.

In the end, we just have to convince each and every one of them to come up with conditions that convince them.

But there is no such thing as an opinion that would satisfy everyone.

The more I think about it, the harder it seems to consolidate the ground in the future.

So Isaac sought healing (Kendra) to cool his head that was going to overheat.

To calm your mind by forgetting your troubles.

I should have been playing with Teresa by now with Mike.

When Isaac arrived in the pet room, he first saw Lisa sitting on the couch between the walls.

Next, you'll see Kendra and Mike sleeping with Teresa on the floor as pillows.

The two of them were blanketed.

Make sure Isaac walks into the room and Theresa moves her head.

I felt like I had eyes for help, not an alert bare gesture.

I guess it's heavy with the two of us replacing pillows.

"This is what Patrick was like," Isaac laughs cously from that appearance.

But I didn't help Teresa.

I'll come in quietly, cage my thoughts of "bear with me," and gently stroke your head.

I guess I somehow felt that thought.

Teresa sounds sadly small and lays her head down on the floor.

Isaac sits next to her as she heads to Lisa and speaks in a small voice.

"Good day. You were taking a nap."

"Yes, I was off a while ago. Before that, they were playing with carriage toys."

"I'm glad you liked it"

"That's amazing. Teresa was wandering around intrigued."

Lisa, who says so, seemed quite interested, too.

"Do you want Lisa too?

Isaac asked Lisa, but she shook her neck sideways a little lonely.

"Because it's not the year to play with toys anymore. Ten years ago, I think he wanted it."

"Ten years ago..."

Isaac looks at Kendra and Mike.

There was ourselves ten years ago.

"Ten years have passed since then."

It seemed short and a long decade.

So much so that Patrick is gone.

"Hey, can I borrow your knee for a second?

"Go ahead."

Just do me a little daring favor.

Isaac lays on his back on the couch with Lisa's thighs instead of pillows.

"Are you tired?

Lisa looks worried and peeks into Isaac's face.

I've never asked for a knee pillow before.

I thought something might have happened, and I was worried.

"Kind of. I've been thinking more and more about it, and I'm having trouble knowing where to start."

"That's tough...... Use as much as you like on my knees"

If you try Lisa, Isaac can only be described as an amazing person.

Isaac is in trouble.

I thought it wouldn't help me with my own advice or anything, and that's all I could say.

If making it sweet helps, there's no reason to reject Isaac.

As I said, I was going to do as much as lend you a knee.

"And..."

"And?"

"You saw Kendra sleeping like this before. Lisa and I have known each other a long time, but I haven't had it done yet. You can't beat Kendra."

"Yes."

Lisa laughs cously.

It's not just that I want to be sweet, I've been sticking it up to my sister and wanting a knee pillow.

Because even when my body grew up, I thought it was smiling that I still had a childish place to be.

- But whatever it looked like, the contents weren't childish.

From the time I lay on Lisa's knee with her pillow, it was filled with what was in Isaac's head.

(I was wondering if you could just be a little more forward. That way, it can be a sandwich sandwich sandwiched between your chest and your foot)

Chest that goes up and down every time Lisa breathes.

Isaac's gaze was nailed to the chest in front of him.

Everything that bothered me just now was blowing up.

"I want to be a sandwich kit!" As much as I wanted to scream.

But Lisa doesn't know what Isaac really means.

"Sometimes I think you should rest. Because I can't think of a good idea if I'm tired."

When I look at Isaac jiggling at the ceiling with a serious eye, I wonder, "Though I'm a student, I guess I don't even have time to rest when I'm a duke".

I also thought it was a problem I couldn't imagine.

At a time like this, it's hard not to have enough brains to talk to him.

There's one thing she can do now.

All I did was gently stroke Isaac's head, like I always do when I refrain from Kendra.
