Tower of Karma

Arcadia of Advancement: Bitter Mouth Wine

"Why did you turn to yes? Now I thought you were my enemy."

Airhardt was looking at his own sister with a dark grin.

"I am not your brother's enemy. Until I agreed that I was right. I do too much more than this. It's a personal matter, but I have friends in that country."

Both princesses inherited their mother's blood in colour. Perseverance, purity, and righteousness eyes look just like my mother's. That's why Airhardt kept Eleonora away from politics. She's right. But it is in the political world that correctness is not necessarily justice. She can't break. Sometimes its strength drives politics crazy.

"I'll thank you. This country was helpful. I'm a big pain in the ass."

"If you don't banish that one, there's no such thing in the first place."

"It was that man who drew this painting. Now that we know everything, he's manipulating us. to drive me down, for myself to rise to the throne."

"Your brother has become a suspect. It will be natural for a warrior to do his best to win more. Isn't it the role of politics to control that?

"It's crazy because that's the guy controlling it, Eleonora"

Airhardt mocked himself. With the light in its eyes, Eleonora learns that her brother is not distracted. But she's one person again, too. It was one woman. The only thing that cannot be seen horizontally is with regard to him. In order to affirm him, you have to deny your brother.

That's what they make me choose. That's what Airhardt wants to say.

"I'll see. When any of that comes, neither I nor you may already be royal. Of course, I won't let you."

Airhardt suffered a lot of pain in this choice. The choice that the White Knight has been poking at the army and then Arcadia for the shield. No matter how humiliating it was to Airhardt, who was born royal and has been raised to defend his country, he could not take that option. Sadly, he was royal.

Enemy troops emerged from behind the pushing Arcadia army. It is the usual assault. The margins for forming a line are well taken. This ambush will not succeed. Whether it is one hand with the intention of disturbing this one, the legs will not have reached this land to the extent that this disturbs it.

My Lord Admiral, how are the enemies?

Yes, it has been demonstrated that this degree of ambush will not succeed. Then the aim of this is different. There has to be another intention, no matter whether it's a positive move to attack from the other side or a buy of time that makes it look like it. That's what I meant.

"Captain, maybe."

I didn't need to spot it.

"Maybe that's what happened."

Get within sight and grasp the intentions of anyone if you look at the things they put up.

"After work, Kane."

The flag of the leading man was pure white in colour.

"Our intentions are as we see them. I want to give it to your general, Lord William. If you look inside it, you'll never be able to cross your sword before here."

The man flying the white flag bowed his head deeply. And the things I took out of my nose...

"A letter addressed to our Garias from King Arcadia. And the other was addressed to William, the general in charge of this battle."

With one parchment on which the wax was pressed, William was trapped in the north for seven years. Things that can even stop a hero from walking with one letter. Its name is:

"King's life, huh? Heh heh heh, it's something I'm often on edge with."

A writ in which the king's decree is sealed, as it were, is a royal decree.

"Welcome, Garias, gentlemen. Thank you for your hard work, despite your sudden offer."

The Gallias side followed Boltose around Lydiane, Lütes and Eurydice on Paul and even Loran on Adan. In other words, the luxury of saying that the top 100 surviving generals are in full swing. Arcadia against William as the first, Wolfe, Schulvia and Kevin in Gregor. The three young men, Claude, Raphael and Beatrice refrain from the last seat.

Uniform unarmed assembly of all. No one is even wearing a dimension.

Still, the tension on this occasion was tremendous. Everyone's face is so frightened that I think if there's just a little distortion, I'll just bounce right off it. Calm is about William and Wolf. Well, Wolfe's not in a position to know, no matter how he falls, so naturally...

"Just sit down. I'm not willing to negotiate for very long."

"Well, will you agree on the terms sent by Lord Airhardt? Then it's instant."

"Oh, that's okay"

The Arcadia side as well as Garias rounded their eyes to William's answer.

"... you know what you're talking about?

"I rather don't know why I'm surprised. How can I be the only general on the terms set forth by the Arcadia royal family? If that is Arcadia's will, then naturally I respect it, until I obey."

Lydiane wonders if there's a back. So much so that the conditions under which Airhardt came out diverged from the status quo.

I. The Kingdom of Gallias shall transfer the territory of the former Ostberg to the Kingdom of Arcadia.

As things stand, this is a huge step backwards for Arcadia than it is entering Garias' own country and packing it up to about a three-in-one distance to Ulterior.

This is a divergence that occurred because Arcadia itself and this march were too far apart. In the midst of doing this letter, there must have been only reports in it that we had won as far as the territory of the former Ostberg. The reality was moving further, but this divergence arose from the fact that the country did not have the means to know it.

II. The Kingdom of Gallias shall pay the Kingdom of Arcadia ten thousand Gallias gold coins as settlement money.

Not cheap, not expensive. Some views are too cheap in situations where you can squeeze as much as you want. This is also due to the divergence created by the speed difference between the current situation and the information being communicated. Gallias will be able to pay the amount without any problems. I can't deny how lukewarm it is.

Whatever several other items, the eyeballs would still be the transfer of territory, its scope.

"By agreeing on these terms, we are now relinquishing all the bases and towns you have attacked in this land?

"Don't be."

"... then why did you attack us so far! If you don't need it, you don't have to attack me from the beginning! What are you thinking?

As soon as Lütes stepped in to eat and hang him, the killer came from the Arcadia side, but the Garias side also responded and the killer leaked. But it is wiped out by those with deeper pressures. Two hands restrained Lütes' steps. One is Boltose and the other is Paul. Both stopped Lütes under close pressure to kill.

"I'm sorry about our then horse. Nevertheless, doubts are natural. May I ask why this is a good idea, Lord White Knight?"

"I'm not in a position to judge good or bad, that's all. Besides, this condition seems to be loose and divergent from the status quo, which is not actually a condition that deviates that far. I think the part of the sweet quote is really a necessity after thinking about the status quo."

William grinned.

"This victory, for one, hired an outside, Wolf-led, black mercenary regiment in secret, that's all. Lord Paul will be best understood. There is no way out of that situation that we can win in a normal way. I, Arcadia, just crossed a fine path. Mercenaries never even created silly narrow paths. Yes, it was decided by His Highness Aerhardt that this should be made sweet due to differences in local power, after a good understanding of the current situation. It can't be different. This is the best."

Calmly, more calmly than Garias, William was staring at this victory. It would be impossible to hit a non-standard hand called Wolfe in secret. In the first place, we both understood Wolf, William and both sides in this fight. It can't be golden wheel to put ourselves together. Wolf will refuse.

Then the only thing left to lose was the Arcadia army. The difference in national power is also clear, and the divided forces with more territory will be dispersed. Now more than ever, it will be hard when it comes to vs. Garias. If you buy objection with tough hands, it is imperative that Garias strikes back in less than a year. That's why Airhardt spoiled the stigma. But he had a big sentence at the end of the conditions to create a way to live.

"Yesterday's enemy is today's friend. We showed strength. He qualified for friendship by lining up with Garias, a superpower. Therefore, there are final conditions. We believe that we should be friends. I want to be friends with you, too. Because I like you all."

Lines as if they were dreadfully worn. Even if it is not over the mask, it appears clear that the mask named Smile is sticking to its appearance. I don't suppose he's willing to hide it either.

Finally, if these conditions are agreed, an inviolable treaty by force will be proposed in order to further deepen relations between the two countries in the future. Once concluded, the two countries will be able to build a richer world. Together, we can bring order and stability to the world. King Eduardo Alto of the Kingdom of Arcadia is the second prince, Airhardt von Arcadia.

The power was amply demonstrated. And Garias lost a lot too. Honestly, this condition is broken if you pull out your emotions. Anyway, an inviolability treaty or something like that is not in turmoil. All you have to do is attack and destroy it and erase every promise you make after you have the strength to crush it if you need it. Of course they'll be thinking the same thing.

I want to rest Arcadia too. I also want to take a break from Garias. Recover all you have done and develop talent in the meantime. Increase national power. In preparation for the battle to come - it is a proposal for that.

"We've got something to get along with. It's not a bad thing."

Lydiane and RUTES relaxed when they saw William's floating grin. I can tell even over the mask. This face is from when you're thinking about something mean.

"Native to Valhall, you know a miracle grape revived seven years ago. A namesake that has been made long before the founding of the former San Baltic nation. With this one, Arcadia is said to have a house built, etc. It's very good, this is"

For a moment, everyone in Garias was stunned without knowing their intentions. Good wine is right in front of you. So much so, why is Lydiane, our Lord, such a cheeky face? Why are Arcadia's faces looking at this one with a seemingly sorry face? For a moment, I was surprised.

"Ah!?

Everyone perceived the intention.

'Let's talk in battle first. And when you decide to surrender, why don't we bring you some fine wine? Come on, Garias, ladies and gentlemen, I'm the White Knight! I dare you. You are challengers. [M] There are three culminations in this world on the battlefield, and I am one of them. And there is no such thing among you. [M] You are the losers of a time when superpowers and so on could not beat black gold! You should thank me. Thanks to my return, you will be able to stigmatize your predecessor! The loser of the era, Gaius the Innovation King, who couldn't beat a giant star, nah!

Everyone remembers those words before the war.

"Instead of going that way, he asked me to go."

Really mean. Wolff didn't think the wine he brought as a souvenir could be used by such means. She laughs with her belly because she was listening to the contents earlier. This man, who was happy to offer alcohol, was also mean. among those who are alike.

"... let's all drink"

Lydiane turns to William with a serious face after a bitter laugh.

"Can you pour it?

"Of course you do, Liddy."

William pours it himself. and puffy wavy red liquid. Fluffy and sweet, with a hint of sourness that tickles your nose.

"I'll never forget. This flavor. Never again."

Lydiane drank it all at once. The bitterness that spreads in your mouth. You'll never forget it. The defeat until today. The pain, the loss. Engrave with this bitterness.

"That's fine. Now you're the challenger. I'll wait, at height."

Lütes offers the glass next. After being poured in, it poured in all at once. Next, Lorraine, Eurydice, Boltose, everyone engraves.

The defeat of humiliation. Superpower Garias has lost a lot in this battle. But because of this defeat, some things could be left in the afterlife. Now, it's only a bitter memory.

Thus one great war marked the end. With the stunning defeat of Garias...
