This was some time before the Lord of Disuia fell.
With the new king crowned, Rikyo was visiting Wang Capital.
That implies the renewal of the covenant that Rikyo, who even came as a royal trump card, would come under the command of the next king.
But on the other hand, Rikyo was already somewhat prepared.
"I think I've shown my face a few times...... Glass Arcana, it's my trail"
"Your Grace, it's been a long time."
All three of them talking in the Royal Castle reception room were nervous faces.
Not very much, but what belongs to one force is not just the kind of air that greets.
It was as if, from now on, we could have a fight, even that atmosphere.
"Oh, my sister's taking care of you."
"No, leave my wife to look after me..."
relationship between my brother-in-law and my brother-in-law, but my relationship up and down was blatant.
Rikyo is out poorly, plus the glass is about to be on top, so it's working, but the current king was somewhat anxious.
I am anxious that my son won't mention something unscrupulous and piss off the person he is in a friendly relationship because of it.
"Well, you were so defenseless in the revolution that you attacked our country."
"Yeah, you're right. There are no words of gratitude for the Arcana kingdom that you have so received"
On the other hand, the glass was also slightly puzzled.
I didn't think I'd keep coming out this badly, even if it was true, just knowing my usual Rikkkyo.
"On top of that, it's the last war. It was this me who planned and directed the operation to Oseo. As a royal trump card, it has resulted in great damage."
The other trumpets are only combatants.
Even Festival Me, who was the next principals, just moved as instructed in that operation.
But Rikkyo is the side that assembled the operation.
It is only natural that Rikyo feels as responsible as the Lord of Sopeds.
"Even though the owners of Sopeds, Caputo, and Batlub are responsible, it's too much to understand that I'm the only one who's ever done it."
That's what I said, and I was bowing my head in sincere apology.
"I will dedicate five divine treasures to the Arcana royal family, which I have at my disposal."
And the words that came out were very heavy.
To be clear, it was almost like offering Rikkyo's personal value.
"Of course, if you tell me to use it, I will always come up and use it. But from now on, I am foolish that we should put all the divine treasures in the capital of the king of Arcana and leave the operation to His Highness the Glass."
Conversely, it was proof that I was so sorry and at the same time could be said to have taken responsibility. The more demanding it is, the more apologetic it is.
"... yes, okay? Especially Elixir. It would be your lifeline."
"It's fine. The same goes for the Great Tengu, but I'll show you alive without an elixir."
Rikyo is the emperor of the empire, but he is only a nation wherever he goes.
But in the present state of affairs, which has not been long since the founding of the country, if we let the state bear the loss of Rikyo, that may be the end of it.
If so, we have no choice but to give away personal assets.
"... The truth is, we should have done this sooner. God's treasure was too heavy for a man who was on track to mistake for expectations."
If the value of Rikyo is divine treasure, there is no problem in handing it over to others.
There is no obstacle to using the apparent trump card as Rikkyo or, if it has to be used by others.
Rather, for not relying on the individual, it would work in his favor if he thought about it later.
"... well, you felt so responsible."
"You should feel it. I did mention martial arts medals in the war, but nevertheless, the subjects of the Arkana kingdom, the soldiers, lost many lives. That's not something you can take back."
"Oh well..."
The glass, which should be glad to be offered this treasure above, was, however, causing its face to draw.
Without realizing such a son, the incumbent king cared for his stepson.
"It wasn't your discretion, it was an operation with the permission of all of us. You don't think so?
"But that's why I'm responsible, too. Because it is an empire, we should show future generations how to take responsibility as first generation"
"That's it... right, you were that kind of guy..."
The situation is not the same as it was five years ago.
Domino had largely been rebuilt, with no damage from dragons, and above all with talent gathered from countries.
The offering of the Eight Divine Treasures to Arcana did not mean that the nation would be destroyed immediately.
"The Domino Empire is only under the kingdom of Arcana. As a first contribution from the emperor of the kingdom, I would ask His Majesty the new King to receive it."
"It was totally unexpected..."
The king of the kingdom of Arcana has a certain disease for generations.
It was the very ambition to unite the vast kingdom of Arcana under the royal family.
The current state of affairs The royal family and the four great nobles govern the land in five equal parts.
Of course the royal family is at the top, but the difference is insignificant.
Despite being king, despite being royal, he governs only a fifth.
To get out of the country, you really have to go through the territory of the four great nobles.
In the wake of such 'humiliation', there is no way the royal family is not dissatisfied.
"I didn't expect you to give me all five all of a sudden..."
And what a dissatisfaction for the royal family, so the state went well for a long time.
Consider the interests of the state first, each house second and finally the interests of other houses. Such beautiful things have been thoroughly done by our masters throughout history.
That is why, whatever the royal family may say, the heads of the four nobles have opposed that the status quo should continue.
We should continue to do so because it has worked well in the current state system.
With that said, he dresses up, but the royal family still rules only a fifth of the nation.
That's what's been going on since the founding of the country.
"Exactly, I thought I'd only have Elixir on hand..."
Because of those depressions, the royal family said to the trail from generation to generation, 'You unite. but in a way beneficial to the state'.
Naturally, Glass Arcana had been entrusted with it, and he intended to.
As a first step, he was going to strengthen his authority by offering some of Domino's holdings of divine treasures.
As he admitted, Rikyo was also responsible for the damage caused by the last war, because there was a problem in not punishing Rikyo alone.
So when I tried to demand divine treasure as a preemption, they offered it all the other way around.
"... why are you feeling defeated"
When this happens, you can't demand anything more from Domino.
All five of them would be worth more than one country, because they gave us eight kinds of divine treasures.
And this is what I think.
Assuming Glass had five of the Eight Divine Treasures, I was wondering if he could offer them all as responsibility for the damage he suffered in the war.
Wouldn't you like to negotiate and come up with an alternative and have one or two on hand?
Even in a situation where you have to give it all away, can you give it all away from yourself?
"... no, an emperor carrying a country. Without that amount of equipment, I guess it won't work."
Here, the fact that Rikyo doesn't think you're stupid would be a sign of his well-educated.
It's easier mentally to look at them downstairs, but doing that doesn't make any difference to reality or yourself.
Rikyo was genuinely under his own authority, but there was an amount of equipment that I thought had respectable aspects.
In fact, I'm more reliable than a shameless person who doesn't think of his failures as failures or a great dumb person who doesn't realize his failures.
You can let him use the Divine Treasure in times of need, or someone else.
Nothing bad has happened. If a sense of defeat fits in with a sense of defeat (...), it is not an issue.
"I need that amount..."
But the glass made me feel inferior and small.
Miserable clarifications, pathetic ugliness, and sympathetic acts. I was expecting them, it's true.
What injustice does a hero who has been given a treasure by God, a dragon killer brave, and an emperor supported by the people, expose before him his just demands?
What I was trying to imagine was not to delude myself.
"Am I the one who's so clueless..."
Out on the balcony of the royal castle, looking up into the sky. There existed the heavenly realm, the Great Eight States.
If the immortal who is moving there cares about it, he will be able to crush the king's capital like this.
That's the current state of Arcana.
It's certainly a situation that dominates the periphery, but it's never something I can be optimistic about.
Regardless of Majan and Domino, there are many potential threats, such as the Great Eight States and Oseo.
"Right now, too much prominent power is gathering in this country. On top of that, it's dispersed in each house."
The only thing that dominates is the cultural area around here, and besides, it is dichotomous with Oseo.
So far the equilibrium has been maintained and it is difficult to imagine that it will be a war with dragons in the future.
But that's not absolute equilibrium. A minor change could roll in the wrong direction at once.
Unlike Suibok, the world's most powerful man, even the surrounding world has many threats.
Even if at some point it is inevitable to develop into war, we can turn it away or prepare for it.
No, that's what makes it the king of our time, the mission of the glass, I'd say.
The question is how and in what way.
To future generations, it will be possible to leave the good ground, the good foundation, the good premise.
No one knows the right answer. That's what an extinct species, the 10,000-year-old turtle, could predict the future and even recognize the possibilities.
Because I don't know, I just have to move on to the future I believe in. And the glass had decided.
As king of one nation, bear all the power of the nation. In other words, it is the unity of the state, the concentration of power.
"It is the civil war that should be worried, and the power to defy the royal family from the four great nobles should be swept away"
More than in ancient times, it is the inner worry, not the external disease, that destroys the great powers.
As with the old Domino Empire, politics can be corrupt and the public can become indignant, while the loss of power by the central administration, like Yamond, can often trigger a crowd of ambitions.
It is, of course, reckless to rule all the territories of the vast kingdom of Arcana by the royal family alone, and we need an army to run the territories.
It is too much against the national interest to take all the troops away from the nobles. To be clear, it is tantamount to turning the entire nobility against the enemy, and the royal family does not have that much power in the first place.
But today the leading men of the Arkana kingdom possess a powerful power of war that is not directly linked to the power of governance.
"Eight kinds of divine treasures and all kinds of powerful treasures, warriors who were given the power of God to culminate in trump cards. The royal family manages all of them directly!
That was what he painted, the look of a new nation.
