In February, Isaac set the stage for discussion with Morgan and the others.
For once I felt the need to speak of the course of the journey.
"Is the messenger near the border by now? I just hope you're doing well."
"You don't have to pray. At least, there can be no failure."
Morgan's messengers are those who were given the role of delivering gifts to the Allies and the countries around them in commemoration of their negotiations with the Dragon.
For once, he has accompanied Isaac one by one, but the main ones are those of the Marquis of Welrod.
At a time like this, I was grateful to be able to use Morgan's men.
Because they've been given a special assignment by Isaac.
Gifts revolve around paintings that were not oriented towards dragons.
Those items are presented to each royal and foreign minister, ambassador or former ambassador who has worked with Morgan from the Enfield (...) Duke's House (...).
Until now, it's nothing unnatural.
Because Isaac has ever given flowers to ambassadors and their families.
As an extension, there are just more people delivering gifts.
Received in the sense of festive hemming.
But Isaac put his hand there.
- To those who accompanied the envoy: 'Stay at the embassy. And when it was night, he ordered you to leave the back door, wander around the city and return to the embassy. "
Of course, it's not a handful.
"When I leave the embassy, I also order you to go out with a bag of stones".
To some extent, if you hang out in the city, the stones will be dumped in the river but you will return to the embassy.
That's all.
That's all, but that doesn't end there.
Inside the embassy are guarded by the knights of the Kingdom of Lead, but outside the embassy are national knights and soldiers on guard.
At first you'd just think "a gift for someone".
But if you keep sneaking out the back door for days, you're supposed to tail him suspicious of movement.
Sometimes, as a suspicious person, a guard may be checked for baggage.
But all I have is a bag with stones in it.
It's not against the law, so it's impossible to get caught.
Naturally, he said, "Why the stone?" and will be suspicious.
The suspicion (...) was important.
Even if they examine the contents, they say, "To deliver to the powerful?" It just seems. "
Isaac delivers gifts only to those who have a working relationship with Morgan.
But if you're normal, it's no surprise you're giving gifts to top political and military leaders like the Chancellor and the Marshal.
Nevertheless, if you give it to just one of them, the other who was not given it will be dissatisfied.
"We don't have any items to give to both, so aren't we trying to sneak up on delivering gifts? I hope you think."
- So far.
Isaac's aim is to stop the neighboring countries when he takes action.
Marshal Ford, too, would have fallen into Sonycroft if he had about three more days.
Then the Reid Royal Army, which only has equipment for the field, would have bought time and the Kingdom of Rockwell would have occupied the Kingdom of Fatil.
Time is important.
I was prepared to buy that time.
They will recall when there was a request for reinforcements from the Reid royal family.
- "Speaking of which, the Duke of Enfield family had made a suspicious move," he said.
Isaac is believed to be a man like Jude in the surrounding countries.
It was a trick to use that image to make people suspect that "there are already insiders".
If we are going to start a revolt, we need to draw the Marquis of Windsor into our allies before he calms down.
Then in a year or two, we'll have to start a revolt.
- "A year before Isaac rebelled. An envoy from the Duke of Enfield's house was making a suspicious move. We should look for an inside man before we send reinforcements."
If you make me think so, Isaac wins.
After sending reinforcements to the Reid Kingdom, it would be catastrophic if the traitors raided the capital.
"We'll get a messenger out here to see if there's really been a civil unrest. In the meantime, I'll look for an inside man," it will suffice.
That alone buys me time for a month or two.
Before reinforcements arrive, you just have to destroy the Reid royal family.
That way, they lose their big father-in-law of moving the army too.
I chose this opportunity because it still left an impactful result: "Humanity's first, successful negotiations with the Dragon".
It's just an impactful incident, and it's easy to remember what happened before and after it.
"Speaking of which, at that time…" the aim is to make it easier to recall.
Doing something similar in the normal course of life will not be remembered for one of your daily tasks.
It was more effective because it would be done when the messenger delivering the gift visited.
"Totally, I often think about things like your father. There's no way that Lord Enfield hasn't done anything. I didn't mean to create a suspicious ghost even though I didn't..."
Morgan was impressed and couldn't say anything more.
I haven't really done anything, so it doesn't hurt to be examined in detail.
Just some of the messengers have the habit of stuffing stones in their bags and roaming the city by chance.
I'm not a messenger from the Reid kingdom, so I don't have the muscle to be officially complained about on the diplomatic route.
In the first place, delivery to the powerful is not illegal.
"You're going to do a lot of nagging," but that's all at this stage.
They just read it in depth on their own and can't move.
It shouldn't be an international problem.
"I just referred to Grandpa Song's behavior. Just reading the records in my study, because I've learned a lot."
Isaac doesn't get on well either.
Show a calm attitude.
This was done because Morgan's men were there.
The role of the Minister for Foreign Affairs also includes intelligence activities examining the situation in other countries.
Those who specialize in such activities are expected to take suspicious behavior that makes them liver.
I didn't feel like being prestigious because it was a means I could take because I had Morgan on my side.
Isaac's calm attitude had given Morgan and Margaret peace of mind.
And that sense of security made Margaret put into words the great questions she had for a long time.
"Hey, I've been wondering... Lucia planted you that far?
"Huh?"
Isaac speaks out of tune because the name of an unexpected person has come up.
"Why did your mother?
"It's been a rumor for the last few years." Lucia disturbed Melinda and educated Isaac, who was still young, to be the man worthy of the head of the Marquis Welrod family, "right? I've always been concerned about this."
"... Your mother is the one who stays watching. I just desperately learned your ancestors' ways to get Pamela."
"You were. It's a little refreshing."
- Lucia, regardless, was learning and moving into action by Isaac himself.
It can't be a normal child, but it seems to me that this can be more than just drawing the blood of the Marquis Welrod family.
That was horrible, but more convincing than "Lucia was actually the mastermind".
(Yep... Were such rumors circulating? Why? Was there an element of suspicion?
But Isaac was different.
Isaac thinks he's been working hard on his own.
I couldn't help but wonder why Lucia's mastermind theory and the like were flowing.
He's more of a sad type by himself than avenging someone.
Because he was the least connected person from falling in.
"Why are there such rumors?
Naturally, I ask about it.
"Normally I don't think a kid would do that. I don't even think I'll learn on my own. Then you take it for granted that someone is manipulating it behind you? I'm just saying it was Lucia who was most suspicious."
"Oh I see...... Is that what happened?"
There is nothing difficult to explain.
It was a simple reason.
It was not surprising to think that there were those who educated their children more than anyone knew that Isaac had memories of his previous life.
Adela, who was a nanny, is also the harmless type of human animal, so I can't help thinking that Lucia, who was being bullied directly by Melinda, educated Isaac.
"My mother..."
"I don't know. You seem to have changed some of your attitudes around you, but now that Randolph is Viscount Saunders, you seem to think he's getting revered for it."
"... well, that would be better"
You'll be shocked to learn that Lucia is supposedly "the mastermind behind the murder of Melinda with Isaac".
You should be happier to think your surrounding attitude has changed because you are "Randolph's wife who won the title in battle merit".
I don't know, but you'd better stay in a state called Buddha.
I guess Margaret agrees with that.
I don't think I'm going to let him know.
If you're willing to do that, you should have already informed me.
"There are other rumors going on at the Tea Party. Now it's your rumor."
Margaret tries to get back to business because she feels she's starting to get off the hook.
Her role was to gather information from the wives.
"Negotiations with dragons will be a topic of discussion, but now generosity is at the heart of the conversation."
"That's good."
I don't just give souvenirs to dignitaries.
It gives thanks from Dwarves given by Elias to the nobles of the country.
One item at a time is something you can buy if you trade with Dwarves.
But not if there's a letter from Isaac that says, "I'll give it as a bargaining souvenir with the dragon."
- Items given by Isaac.
- An item of negotiating memorial with the dragon.
By virtue of such added value, it was given value as an item that cannot be bought with gold.
The likes of Count Adams and Count Brander received it in a complex mood, but most received it honestly with joy.
He behaves generously in hardware.
There was no reason to say no.
That's why they rated "The grandchildren of the Marquis of Wellrod, they're good men".
"It's also affecting one of the Count of Bristol's houses. Even those who have been selling fights are highly valued for their acceptable nostalgia. You seem to have gained a better reputation in this case."
Back to back with words, Margaret didn't look happy.
Isaac tells me what happened at the Count of Bristol's house.
Not because of Isaac's behavior due to the size of his vessel, but because he just uses the situation, it didn't seem like a hundred points out of 100.
"The Royal Family just put a thank you from Dwarf into the treasury, so the difference seems to have been extraordinarily striking."
"Thanks to you for making more demands for the tunnels."
Morgan is impressed with Isaac's behavior.
At first glance, Isaac seems to be acting for the kingdom.
I'm sure it'll actually help.
But its purpose was to tighten the royal finances.
- Showing no bare gestures of betrayal, sharpening royal power.
That arm even seems like something that goes beyond Jude.
Such Isaac was reliable and horrible.
Maybe because we could have been used.
He was just beyond the understanding of a normal person, but he also felt fear where he could not understand it.
"As long as I have a big nickname, I have an atmosphere that seems to help you. But that's superficial. You shouldn't lose your loyalty to the royal family at all. Judith, who saved your life, would have been wary of treason against the royal family, too, wouldn't he? It's tough if it's nothing like that."
"That's okay. We've got some eye-catching."
Isaac tries to touch on the subject of Pamela.
This was something I had to tell my grandparents.
"Actually, before I left for Neuizen, I also received a handkerchief from Mr. Pamela"
"Oh my God!
"What the hell!
The two of them could not hide their surprises at the new facts that had not been made known to them before.
"Mr. Pamela was showing her indulgence even when she spoke at the academy: 'Because I am His Highness's fiancée'. The more she lets that go, the harder Jason seems to be to save now. I'm sure it's going to show a lot of disruption."
"Well, Pamela... Jason at the Royal Palace didn't look very different, but I guess not at the college. Again, the influence of Baroness Nettle Holds?
"Yes. If you put Mr. Nicole forward, you're incapable of restraint. Many students have seen me delead to Mr. Nicole. One woman blinded me, and my former brilliance seems to be lost. As it is, Jason is likely to lose credibility around him."
Margaret wanted to say, "Be careful, too," but I put up with this place.
I'm sure Isaac is blinded by Pamela, but because he hasn't lost his wit.
Instead, my head is covered.
Then you don't have to bother telling me.
If the person doesn't seem to be aware of it, you can just tell him then.
"Then all you have to do is wait while you get ready? Do you have any other hands in mind?
"Yeah, some. We've also decided to buy gunpowder from Dwarves, so you should be able to win even if it's a fight from the front."
"I see, Dwarf? But you think it's gunpowder? Isn't that a mining tool? You should ask for a weapon."
If you can get Dwarf's help, you should seek excellent weapons.
Morgan told Isaac to do so.
But Isaac shook his head with laughter.
"That's not true. With gunpowder, you can create a weapon that can beat ten times as many armies as you want."
"Ten times! Isn't that too much to say?
"Well, I didn't actually try it, so it might be too much. But it will also be possible to defeat the Royal Army alone at the Marquis Wellrod. It's so powerful."
"Mmmm..."
Morgan couldn't deny Isaac's words confidently.
I already know I will win with Judith's fortune.
Then the weapon will work, too.
When we start working with Isaac in this way, we just wrap our tongues around its readiness.
Pray quietly in your heart to those who will turn to your enemies.
