"I'm not sure how this happened..."
"It must be hard for you to understand. But there's no choice."
The festival that will soon be the main one. I was dissatisfied with this shakedown.
A clan-orphan party, an islander. I wonder if a few felonies would pass, even though I did not plan to treason against the state.
"My daughter wouldn't have wanted to teach you about Disuilla, and most importantly, you don't know the history of Disuilla. I guess that's why this procedure is extremely visible"
The Lord of Bathrub, who is about to retire, begins to tell his own son about the history of Disuia.
That was never bright but still a definite people connection.
"How did you hear about Disya?
"Um... first of all, all the sea in the kingdom of Arcana is in Disuia territory... then, he says, business has flourished. And then there were all the bad rumors about... whorehouses and slaves, anyway."
"Right, it has characteristics. But that's a somewhat exaggerated trait. Sure, all the coastline belongs to Disuilla, but the vast Disuilla territory is mostly inland. Most of them are not different from Bathrubs."
Geographically speaking, there is indeed an ocean.
Except in coastal areas, however, there are many who have never seen the sea.
It's within the same country, so there's no way there's such an extreme difference.
"Except where it's supposedly Special Zone. That is what you imagine or there is more 'evil' than that. Full of excitement and disloyalty, it's a terrible evil place to rule evil laws."
"Bad law, is it?"
"Yes, it's a bad law. The Special Zone of Disuia is never lawless. Rather, it is a land dominated by harsher, cruel penalties than other districts. Acts that are considered illegal elsewhere, including murder, are permitted by tax payments and legal bribes. Conversely, murder without permission will result in harsher private sentences than elsewhere"
A thriving city of vices, first attacked by the armies of the Old World in the Kingdom of Arcana.
I have heard that the villains of the land have carried out a special attack of the death and have repelled it painfully.
"To put it plainly, Disya made evil a 'tourist resource'. Evil that is real, but never harmful. It's an unconventional city full of excitement that everyone can see up close if they follow the regular process."
"It's like a zoo or an aquarium..."
"I don't know that, but somehow you do, don't you? I never want it to be near my house, but if it's far away, I'd like to go. A city that's safe as long as it's full of money."
"... I'm a little interested"
"I would. Including the casino, it's a huge and moving entertainment area. Disya, who contributed to the founding of Arcana, gained state-approved status as a bad trader. While I fulfill my duty as a nobleman."
The Lord made a little shadow on his expression.
"Nevertheless, the Disyah family is also vicious, but a merchant, and a nobleman. I don't know what to say, but I was doing my homework right. As I said earlier, there's no big difference from Bathrubs and Sopeds except in the Special Zone"
"Isn't that a good thing"
"Right. The problem is that not everyone born into the Disuilles was able to affirm vice."
First of all, it would have been nice if the Special Zone had been the only territory, or if the whole territory was the Special Zone.
No, one thing is not good, but with every generation, there are people in the House of Disuille who have an aversion to the Special Zone.
In other words, ordinary nobles began to emerge.
"Let me get this straight, do you want to rule that special district?
"I don't like it."
"I don't like it either, and of course the royal family won't like it. Assuming Acrylic had given the royal family territory, it would have crushed it."
It is a pure culture facility, rather than a hotbed of crime.
Even if profitable and profitable, you wouldn't want to govern yourself.
or so, I don't even have to think about what would happen if I left it.
If so, we should move the army but destroy it. At any rate, there is not a single good person.
"When it comes to the house of a bad merchant, there's no way we can all be bad merchants."
"That's an amazing word..."
"Some of those who were born into the Disuillah family and ruled an unrelated territory with the Special Zone also neglected the Special Zone and the relatives that divided it. That's the beginning of this tragedy."
In a way, maybe it's bad that I created the Special Zone.
To future generations, it would be like leaving behind a famous fattening.
"Being a party, they know that the public scandal is true. If it's a misunderstanding, you can correct it, but it's true, so there's no excuse. Having grown up as a decent nobleman, they have become inferior to the other four nobles and royalty. And I also started wanting to change that."
"I think that's a good thing..."
"Yes, that was good in itself, and half of it was successful. No, about a third of them were successful. Think about it, no matter how much Disya is a state-approved evil place, I'd be tired of running it for a long time. It is the art relations that are popular among the general public that have seen it as a new tourist resource. Employing many artists with money earned in bad places, the superficial spectacles also tried to match the best"
Meet the tourist attractions on the table and back.
In addition to family-friendly facilities, it leaves behind both backward and charming secret facilities.
That should have brought in more customers. No, I was actually able to call in.
"It was becoming recognized that the special district of Disuia was not only ugly, it was also a city with excellent art. That's fine, but some tried to further strengthen the artistic aspect in order to repaint the scandal. While doing so, artists also began to be ejected from the clan"
"Oh, is that the flow..."
"Anyway, you identify a lot of artists, so your eyes get fat from when you're a kid. There are also a large number of mentors, and qualities will suffice. I don't know what to say, but the artist who came out of the discotheque, even though he was often thought of. That's how they switched from bad merchant lineage to artist lineage."
"But he said he failed"
"That's right. There's no excuse there, your old body's faulty. From the aristocracy that produces artists to a group of artists"
It's done, I say.
That's tantamount to saying it's a rich dojo group.
"I wish they had done their job as aristocrats exactly as they extremed each piece of art. But the young men sent excellent deputies to them. You've taken over your duties as a nobleman."
"But you didn't think it was dangerous? Look, it actually happened like this one."
If power renounces force, there is only a fall ahead.
Don't get me wrong, power is only an external part, derived (...) from force in the first place.
Power exists to use force effectively, and is literally powerless, such as power that is independent of force.
"It wasn't the outside world, it was the owner. I guess there was sweetness in it too. And..."
The Lord of Bathrub sees the New American Lord.
See the first dragon-killer brave man to emerge in 10,000 years, who has achieved his salvation as a man.
"Praise without any haste or falsehood sickens man. You start to prioritize praiseworthy work from others over work that helps others."
Everyone wants to be praised.
I want to satisfy my self-esteem with unspared praise from society.
I'd like to say I'm impressed that you're the only one who can do it, or the best in the world.
"I don't know how to say this, but a useful job for others is not always praiseworthy. For example, you would not send a spare drink to an umbrella nobleman."
"That's right..."
"But I have a job to do even if I don't get compliments. The last example of this is the reconstruction from this war. You know what the Disuillahs (...) were doing while so many people were suffering"
He looked ruthless.
"If you were going to a burned city and making a picture of what you were inspecting, that's not the problem. But if I had taken an escort and sketched myself, and painted myself a city burned by war, it would already disqualify me as a nobleman. On the contrary, not even the people"
Even the 'real artist' where Acrylic calls it, the one who's throwing away Disuir's name, would be slapped if he did that.
Societies have been badly wounded, so we should work to rebuild them in each way, no matter what you are.
Whatever your usual occupation is, you should participate in debris removal, cooking, etc.
Nonetheless, if you had a painting or something like any other HR, you can't complain about getting beat up.
"They were positioning themselves as suspended beings from society. He said he was a man on the clouds, unrelated to things in the past. So he was banished across the ocean."
"It's like Mr. Swibbock..."
"Exactly. If, like Lord Swivok, food and drink are unnecessary and you do not need to participate in society, and more importantly, you are more powerful than the State itself, then you can say that you are a man on the cloud. It's impossible, but no one can blame Lord Swibbock for painting or laughing foolishly."
In the case of Suibok, there is no synchronization even when the national interest is spoken of.
Because I have a sense that I am a immortal and that I do not belong in society.
And more importantly, I hate people who force me to do what I hate.
"It is a mistake to say that you are forgiven for doing anything if you are strong. 'If you're strong, you don't need to be forgiven' is right"
If he tells me to be patient in the national interest, he tells me to be more patient with the whole state.
If you ask me if I can beat the state on my own, I will continue to fight until the state admits to losing.
Above all, it has just the strength to carry it out.
I basically don't have to be forgiven for that. Powerfully, because whoever you turn against your enemies will never lose.
Instead, the perimeter breaks or the whole perimeter dies.
The face of the House of Disuille could not have been seen if it had been strong, or it could have been fought back even with such eyes.
"Despite their weakness, they did something that was unacceptable. That's why I was punished."
Even those with suspended powers like the five trumpets don't do whatever they want without thinking about the conveniences around them.
Nonetheless, he did what the powerless were not allowed to do. I see, it would be an unconscious suicide.
"But isn't that... help coming? It's not like there's an island in the sky."
"None"
The winner, shaking his head left or right, says it's impossible.
"Assuming we do that, we will turn the entire kingdom of Arcana against our enemies. Anyway, the royal family forgives this case, it's a nationally sanctioned outrage. Acrylic has not arbitrarily enforced it, but has applied in advance to all other houses. Of course, it's public, including the guilty plea. If you object to it, or go to the outlaw for rescue, you will also receive a trump card."
It is political sense to talk through it properly.
That's all the black-and-white situation is clear, but she asked permission from the royal family in a coalition with all the deputies, and had explained it to the other four nobles.
So it's not just that she judged, it's that the whole state is guaranteeing it.
"I hope you don't get me wrong, but they sure are super top notch artists. Never bought fame with money, there are actually many supporters"
I don't sell fights to the world's most powerful powers to help artists.
If they sell it, I'll just buy it.
"Art can move a man's heart, but it cannot move a man's life."
The face of the Disyah family was a mistake.
Sure, art is honorable, but he said what's really honorable is that you can afford to enjoy art.
And whatever doctrinal claims you put forward.
That it's just a course of action.
"Do you think there's no such thing as a protectionist batlab? But our four nobles are not doing politics to practice doctrine. If it is contrary to defending the national interest, we can take down as much of the doctrine and claims as we want. It's also a good place to fall, such as when the state loses money to defend the doctrine it has set up."
Whatever philosophy you put forward, I want you to be a politician who can think first of all of the national interest and put the people first.
To his successor, the retiring nobleman spoke in peace.
"It's just solitude, like a philosophy that doesn't make others happy. Better not have a politician like that."
If we are to speak of protectionism, it is the value sufficient to protect it that we must protect it.
He had entrusted his stepson with the words that had commanded him.
