The Strategist Knows Everything

Between kings is Kaguya, who sat on the throne, and Baid, who stood beside him to the right. And there were the leading men of the country on the left and right.

At the time I protected Sophia, I immediately went to have Ren report it, so I have all the faces inside. This is precisely the heart of Velis and the place to make decisions. Well, one, there's no one I expected. I can't say I'm not here, I can't say I'm there. I wish I could have stayed.

I'm walking a little behind Master Dio. First, after my report, Sophia is supposed to come in among the kings. Well, it was Bade who got the hang of it.

"Captain General Knox, Yukito Clay. I'm back now."

Dio confirmed that he stood beside Kaguya to the left, and I knelt down on my shoulder to greet him on his return.

"Thank you. Well, can you report the situation? Everything, including his actions."

Master Kaguya narrows his eyes just a little.

Well, naturally, it's a natural reaction. I put in an independent unit until before the Imperial Castle. Moreover, using the authority of the independent forces, which is a testament to trust, Kaguya will have a lot to think about. There is a great sense of sorry for what I did.

But if I don't do this, my words could be spoken.

I have to show you my readiness.

"Ha. Now, it's easy, but I'll explain the current situation. Albion is currently rocking because he should or should not be at war with Velis and is leaning towards the opinion that he should be at war. And I'm pretty sure there's a Stratos shadow behind it."

"Stratos……. It's an abominable name. So? What's Stratos after?

"I thought it was definitely Master Sophia. And perhaps one of the purposes is to create a spark of strife on the continent."

The purpose of Stratos is unclear. But what's certain is that they're after Sophia. And that action is directly linked to the war. I don't know if that's what he meant to do, but for now, it wouldn't be a problem to keep the war in one of his purposes.

"I see. If Albion moves, there will be no fighting across the continent. It's an efficient way to make Albion attack Velis."

It's not normal to ask if it's a military related topic to boulders. My head spins fast. I can't help wondering why that doesn't usually come alive, but I'm originally a military specialist, and now I've saved you the trouble of explaining, so let's just say it's good.

I nod loudly and I begin to explain Sophia.

"Exactly. And to prevent that worst from happening, Master Sophia came to Velis. It is possible that people cannot be reached by voices emanating from within the Albion. That's why it's his purpose to speak from the outside and stop the war."

"And were they chased? The other three countries have either boarded or been manipulated by Stratos."

"Yes. I was wondering if this border guard was thinning. Because of that, we couldn't move forward or back off."

Saying it was your fault in the dark, I look at Chirali and Bade, but Bade floats in the wind where it blows. He's an inedible man. Find out how to fall in love.

Is it useless to just deal with them now? In the meantime, I'll try to ignore you unless you come in my way.

"Right...... But it's not like I don't have a hand. As long as we cooperate with other countries, we will be able to avoid war. Three of the five powers, with the exception of our Velis and Albion. Empire of Aitail to the east, Imperius Empire to the west, Republic of Luclum to the north. In the meantime, the messengers of the Aytail and Imperius empires still remain in this castle. If I had hastily punished the envoys of the Union of Small States, I would have returned to my country immediately. In that regard, I can say that it was a feat of that place. That's what happened..."

Why did you let the army into the king's capital?

Strong words. I'm not saying it was anything absurd or loud. It's just that the voice I often go through and the gaze I shoot through made me think so.

But it's enough to think so. Anyway, I found out that Kaguya had the intention to make me feel that way. I get it.

Right now, this guy doesn't think of me as an ally. You wouldn't even think of it as an enemy, but you'd think it was pretty close to an enemy. Incorrect answers can lead to exit from the scene. No, there could be more awkward situations.

Master Dio's face is also a little stiff. Even Dio seems scared of Kaguya now on the boulder. Bade is smiling a little. I guess I can't help but enjoy buying Kaguya's misfortune. This guy totally sees me as his enemy. I wonder what it really is. This country.

My lord and bade are too faithful to my own desires. I wonder if you have any ideas about what's going on around you.

Why should I get suspicious eyes when I'm moving for Velis? Not convinced at all. I don't want to, but I can't keep getting misunderstood like this.

"I put my army in the king's capital to protect Sophia."

A moment froze between kings. Some rugged gaze pours on me. No, I don't care about that. The problem is the gaze that looks down at me.

"You think I would…… harm Sophia Leesberg………?

"Then let me ask you something. Where is Captain Anna Diedrich Kingsguard?

Anna wanted me here. But he wasn't there. So where are you? Easy. I'm guessing it's solidifying around Sophia.

"Though the protection of Sophia Leesberg?

"Allow me to apologize for my disrespect... Isn't that a mistake in surveillance and quarantine?

Master Kaguya caught his eye and stared at me, but for the first time at this time, I glanced at Master Kaguya and hit him.

"Yukito…… What are you trying to say………?

"You took the advice and accepted that it should be used for the sake of the country. And because I thought you'd accept, I put my own troops in the king's capital. If you're about to make a mistake, you can help but stop it."

I get up on one knee with my knee floating. It's disrespectful behavior without Kaguya's permission, but Kaguya was the first one to work disrespect.

"I thought you believed me and gave you the authority of an independent force. But it didn't seem the same."

"Yukito......?

"When I defended Master Sophia, I said I would help her, and Master Sophia believed me and came to this king's capital. With my life and pride, I tried to protect it. I swore by this name that I would definitely try to help. But neither my determination nor my vows will absorb you."

Conversations have a lead. Until earlier, it was in Kaguya, and now it's in my hands.

I apologize to Master Kaguya, but this time it's no use. I don't care about pride or determination, to tell the truth. Now the anger that is only a little smoking, why did you accept the prophecy?

Wouldn't you wonder what Sofia would think surrounded by the Kingsguard? If Sophia sees Velis, she won't be able to stop the war. No, we might trace the way to intensification.

Why would this man make a foolish choice when Sophia's trust must never be won?

This guy could do more, but he could do more.

With a little frustration and a lot of distrust, I stare at Master Kaguya.

"You seem to have mistrusted me, but the opposite is true"

"Yukito! Just calm down a little!

"Please shut up. This is my problem."

The truth is, it was meant to be a restraint and a last resort that put Knox in the king's capital. So I also ordered Knox's troop leader to wait outside the Royal Castle. I have no intention of doing anything in the royal castle. That was the manifestation of will.

But this guy shouldn't draw anything from me.

I recall the gaze of suspicion directed at me.

"You may have meant to identify my loyalty, but I was also identifying you."

I slowly take the dagger out of my nose and take off my coat of feathers.

These two are things sent to me by Master Dio, but I can tell you that these two are things that show my current authority.

I mean, this is all I have, called the Commander-in-Chief of the Independent Force Knox of the Kingdom of Velis, the Army Master of Arklight. If you throw these two away, I'm just Yukito Clay.

"Whether it's good to serve you."

"... that I am the Lord not enough to serve... you say that...?

"At least I wonder if that's likely to be the case in terms of behavior, words, so far"

Bade laughs when he hears those words and tells him as he points at me.

"You're so disrespectful! Guards! Capture Yukito Clay!

Looking back at the guard who reacted slightly to Bade's words and took a step closer to me, I tell him with my finger pointing at Bade.

"Over there is the impudent man who rubbed the Lord's breast, but you don't have to capture him?

"Huh!?

Master Kaguya blushes slightly and yells like that. Bade is making his face pull. When you first met me, it would have been an act of trying to get me off guard by putting the foolishness forward, but that kind of disrespect isn't quite there.

"…… Is that a fact? Prime Minister's Palace."

Dear Dio feels beautiful and asks Bade. Well, you will. I didn't say it on purpose for one day, but I didn't think it would happen here.

"Well, we'll see about that later. There's only one thing you hear from me. Do you want to use Master Sophia? Depending on the answer."

I lose one subordinate.

Hang some kind of threat. Pretty shitty deed, but I wouldn't pass it on to this guy if he didn't do this much.

I don't want this guy to make stupid choices. I want you to sit on the throne as that Rin looks when you run on the battlefield. I want you to choose the right decision without hesitation, as you did when you attacked the King's capital.

Master Kaguya is a little frightened by my words with such a wish.

In Kaguya's eyes are feelings of fright and fear. That makes me angry again. Why should I be frightened? It is clear whether or not it is the right decision.

The possible way to avert war now is to cooperate with other powers, as Kaguya said earlier. And if we do not just negotiate, but ask Sofia to go with us to the negotiating place, and show us her attitude in support of Velis, the impression on Velis in other countries will change a lot. No, without Sophia, there's a good chance you can't take it in the direction of supporting Velis. That's all my predecessor's generation, Velis, has a bad impression.

So it is important to respect Sofia as much as possible and to ensure that Sofia voluntarily cooperates with Velis. I can spot people who don't like it. And now it is better to think that other countries will know that Sofia is under strict surveillance by the Kingsguard in the name of guarding. Even other countries have secrets. Knowing the boundaries would be enough to send a secret to the king's capital. And some people will sell information in secret like that, and with the same skill as Ren, it's not hard to break into the royal castle.

Thinking about it so much, I notice that Master Kaguya looks at me like I'm looking at you.

"Yukito...... That was better than me...... when you take Sophia Leesberg, do you say that......?

"Depending on your response. Don't let me down. Dear Kaguya,"

There is no one to blame for rude remarks. And it came to pass, that all who were here finally understood. I mean it.

It's not hard to capture me here and now. Rather, it would be easy to think of Fumiko. But everyone was thinking about it. Don't my men move outside? Don't you think I have something for you? Such suspicions had aroused suspicion and bound many. Some of them are baids. I said something stupid about rubbing my chest, but I haven't said anything serious yet.

I could kill him at any time. Yes, Bade said. And you will still be equipped with the weapons to make it happen. It is destructive enough to sharpen Master Kaguya's trust. As a baid, I guess you want to avoid that.

The only thing on this scene that could possibly move is Master Dio, but Master Dio wouldn't be able to move if he knew I was helpless.

Sophia, the highest mage in the wind, can pick up conversations far away if he wants to.

Master Dio knows that. If you make a far-fetched statement here, Master Dio won't pinch his mouth from earlier because he knows he will be heard. As for Dio, he would like to give it to Kaguya, but when he does, he says he will turn to the side that uses Sofia. You won't be able to move to move.

So only Kaguya can fit this place in.

"Please answer. Will you use it or not? And if you don't, make a promise. If you do, I'll give you some time."

Ji and I stare into Master Kaguya's eyes. I will never tolerate lies. If it's words to get away from this place, I can definitely spot them. Such a strong will would also be conveyed to Master Kaguya.

I already have everything on the table. All you have to do is make two choices.

The moment I thought so.

A gentle breeze blew among the kings. For a moment everyone didn't know what had happened, was confused, but felt that the wind was strangely a reassuring thing.

I calm down a little and notice.

Outside the board I was staring at. A pawn who couldn't possibly move came onto the board on his own. And he said the lead in this place was away from me.

"Tranquil wind. It helps to stabilize the spirit."

A pleasant voice echoes among the kings in his ears. Everyone sees an open door.

Blue shoulder hanging on white robe. A woman dressed in the dress of a supreme maiden, more beautiful than a round of flowers blooming more powerfully in the wilderness than a brilliant gem.

A beauty as dazzling as the sun and as mysterious as the moon, if you like.

Sophia Leesberg was among the kings.

Everyone breathed in its beauty and nailed it to its appearance.

"It's the first time I've seen you. Sire Kaguya, this is Sophia Leesberg of the disease."

Master Kaguya can't answer that. Anyway, to say that Sophia is here means that the Kingsguard has been broken. But I didn't hear any noise, and more importantly, I didn't report it.

"I used magic and came out of it. Because the place seemed rough. Ladies and gentlemen, have you calmed down?

With a smile like a Virgin, Sophia lined up next to me in a graceful motion and knelt down.

"Things dispute for a moment. That's why I took the liberty. First, I apologize for that."

"Dear Sophia……………"

"Does Master Diorud know that I have the magic to pick up distant voices?

"……… Yukito tells me."

"With all due respect, I used that magic to listen to this conversation. So I know what you're going to do with me and how you're going to move."

Between the scene and the quiet king, only Sophia's voice sounds.

Regardless of me and Master Dio, who knew Sophia's magic, it seemed that Kaguya and Bade could not hide their surprises. And Kaguya, who saw Chirali and me, gives me a convincing look. And soon it switches to a lonely look.

You must have figured out why I tried to take the word for it. To make Sophia hear the words.

For once, the king cannot easily undo the words he uttered. That's what I thought I was doing, but I smashed it all up.

"Yukito. I'm glad to hear your thoughts. But I'm not here to make this Velis uncomfortable. If you confront His Majesty Kaguya, those who profit are those who want war. Will you put that coat and dagger back?

That being said, I got lost for a while, and then I put my dagger back in my nostalgia and weaved my coat again. The plan is already screwed up. You should leave this place to Sofia.

"Sire Kaguya. Can you forgive Yukito for what he did?

"…… so far and tell me to put the same letter down again? Now Yukito is like your subordinate."

"Can't you spot Yukito's sincerity? Wouldn't you know if I didn't tell you?

Sophia just reinforces the word a little.

Sophia with one knee and looking up, but she looks very big. I guess this is what Sophia looks like as the supreme maiden.

"Regardless, I know you moved to correct me. But is it for you, rather than for me?

"No. Yukito wanted His Majesty Caguya to be right. I wanted my only opponent to be strong and noble. That is what Yukito asks of His Majesty Kaguya as a king, and since he deviated from it, Yukito confronted His Majesty Kaguya. The name echoes on the continent, Archrite's warrior. If you don't think you can handle it yourself, as my subordinate, I'd like you to do it."

Sophia turns her challenging eyes to Master Kaguya. I look back into Kaguya's eyes and tell him if it set him on fire to something.

"Extra help! Yukito is my military master! I won't do it to you!!

"So you think I'll forgive you?

"Whatever! I'm not that little a king!

Master Kaguya rises from the throne and says so. Hearing that, Sophia smiles.

"Then don't worry. Let's end this story. I wish to stop the war. If that's going to happen, I don't mind being used. Master Kaguya has decided that he intends to avert war?

"I don't like to argue with people or countries. If that involves the people, it's even more..."

"Then I will work with Velis. However, please promise to reuse Yukito as a military teacher without change. Without Yukito, negotiations with other countries would probably not even come together. And I won't cooperate either. Can you promise me something?

Sofia already drank this place. Of course, so is Master Kaguya. Should I say I'm rolled in the palm of my hand?

I used my position to convince Master Kaguya not to use Sofia. Sophia is trying to make me promise to be safe after she dares to take advantage of herself.

In the end, the results haven't changed much. Even if it is used, what matters more than what Sofia thinks is that Velis moves to avert war. That's one thing.

I tried my best to avoid Sophia being used, but when I saw her accepting it, I felt unspeakable. Somehow it's blue.

Besides, when I see you carry the negotiations exactly the way I thought you would, I have to revalue the girl who says Sophia a bit.

"... ok. I assure Yukito of my position as always, and I will put my faith in it as well."

"Now, negotiations are in place. Accept me and go down, and thank you. Sire Caguya. And Ladies and Gentlemen of Velis."

Saying so, Sophia stood up, dazzled as the sun.
