Tower of Karma

These are the people who took their family names to the petition for the crusade.

"Thank you. I didn't think that the Grand Duke, Valtforgel, would know who they were."

Standing before Alfred was Harold von Valtforgel, a nobleman among the nobles who bound the Grand Duke. It's interesting inside because such a man is walking under Alfred, under this circumstance.

"What's the point in a nobleman lacking character? My Valtforgel and their possession were in vain. That's all."

I see. You're a true nobleman.

"I don't need a compliment. I do not recognize you, Your Highness. Make it Eskendereia. Make it Olumpia, I admit the feats I won with my power, but they are the work of warriors and are different in nature from the things required of a ruler. You haven't done anything yet. So I'm not on your side."

"Now, I will refine it for you to recognize."

"... heh, is there enough weight to accept disgust,"

Harold smiled quietly as to whether something had gotten into his bump. He was a man who never broke up in politics or even in the dining room.

"Now if you'll excuse me, my lord Alfred."

Thank you for your continued support, Lord Harold.

Harrold followed the scene with a smile and an intimidating, faceless look. Alfred smiled smiling, but was otherwise nervous, especially Palomides and Lamberto, who exhaled heavily.

"What's the matter, you look so fuzzy"

"I'm the head of the Grand Duke who knows the royal family and the blood. It's weirder not to be nervous."

"... and I'm royal for once too"

"That's a different story. I sweated weird."

Bitterly smiling at Lamberto's and Palomides' reactions, Alfred glances at the information, a souvenir he brings. A formation almost as expected. Those who responded to evil hands and those who did not, this list shall be a sorting.

From here on out, in sifting through the people to be heavily used.

"After all, you didn't get the help of Valtforgel."

Alfred deepened his grin at Ivan's remarks.

"That person's compassion, yes. If Valtforgel lends a hand, this battle will at once reinforce its political colour. Replace it with a picture of power versus power, not power versus power. That's all I'm strong about, Grand Duke. That's why I didn't lend a hand. Of course there's a risk aversion aspect. Plus, I'm not getting any recognition."

"It seemed like a little bit of a thank you remark to Alfred, who made a lot of progress."

"I can't help it. My accomplishments are not beyond my personal stand-up range. Father's nature is different from that, and even that feels different from what he wants. Maybe some things you can't see if you're in their shoes. Only in that respect, even Esmarch goes over me."

"Such a thing"

"As of now, yeah. I'll be right through you."

If you stand up there, there's something you can't see. If you change your position, the view will change and you will receive it differently. Don't insult things that say old aristocrats. They are their horizontal specialists. Alfred was not arrogant enough to think he could cut everything off and steer the nation.

Even in that sense, this list can be a very meaningful thing.

"Ahlu, it's just a little time."

"Yes."

Ellis' mysterious statement that just showed up.

"A little?

"I mean the haircut. I've heard it several times. I'm sure that was eight years ago."

"... you've been a stalker ever since."

"You're a bad listener, Lamberto. I just..."

Alfred turns to the caller, approximating Palomides, who makes a deviant defense against the Don pulling lambert.

It was a pain in the ass and I didn't have time, especially since I didn't have any business to cut it, so I left it stretched, but I also used it to perform, and for a little gig that said I cut my hair after that event, Alfred finally got my heavy hips up.

It has long been a pain in the ass at odd places.

"Well, Mira and Nicola, you're adorable!

"... Hmm, you're so beautiful, modestly."

"How to put it."

"Don't look at me."

Alfred stares at the reaction of the two shy people without wanting to. Anyway, he likes beautiful things.

"Next time I'll ask for Corsair and Athena's share too"

"Good, but with that said, what about the two of you?

"Don't tell me. Okay, do what you want. Get dressed."

"Let this Ellis go!

It is the haircut time you are waiting for because of the location of both of you. Actually, Alfred, the very act of saying haircut instead of heavy hips was pretty favorable.

I like to be touched on the head by people. You can say that it is a time of bliss to be bewitched by someone who is particularly forgiving.

Because back in the day, in that peaceful north, the role was' that man ', my father.

Often, a time of serenity flows between us, as it used to be.

"It's been a long time since you've had your hair cut like this."

"At first it was when you went over there to play, wasn't it? If I cut Al's hair even though I can't do it because I want to show His Majesty the good things."

"I cried in vain."

"Cry already. Your mother apologized for everything."

"Haha, I remember. I remember. I already feel sincere about your mother, but you made a blatantly disgusting apology to your father."

"Was I? I've been practicing since then and now I've lost my professional face... but it's harder since I got mad that it's not something a good old lady of nobility would do."

"It doesn't really mean anything, but people don't change that easily. You want to share your values, people. That's the same thing as pushing in a way. Talk about being unhealthy when everything goes too far."

"... annoying"

"It's not good for me to be sensible for nothing."

"I can't follow you because I'm an idiot, but Nicola said that's what's good about it. I'm proud of you."

'Cause she's rational, too.'

"Phew, Al doesn't get it. Maiden heart. That's a crop, study because I want to talk to Al... oh, he shouldn't have said this"

"... I'll decide I didn't ask. He's going to be weird."

"Oh, man."

Sarato gold hair falls on the cured floor. The sparkle and the raunchy cheer that heralded the spring's arrival were violently reflecting to create a very fantastic sense of air.

I feel like my childhood, which I'm not supposed to go back to, is going to reach for if I reach for it.

"The second time, when Al's mother died and she was reunited,"

"Right. I feel like my hair has grown so much that I can't beat it now."

"I'm taking care of this, but I wasn't taking care of it then, so it was a bummer. Because it was really bad. Who!?"

"Baaya was trying to take care of me, but I was a child then, and I didn't know why my mother or father wouldn't do that, so I waited a long time. As usual, my father cut my hair. As usual, my mother will fix it with her hands. Then you came."

"You've never had a fight before, have you?"

"I thought it was par, it's goo. I'm surprised."

"On the contrary, you were par. You're full of women."

"Haha. So, you two were crying, and I had your hair cut off."

"Yes, I was able to meet with you then."

"I was better than your father. Yeah, that's when I thought I had to move on."

"Yeah, don't blame people."

"Because it's true. Your father is busy and your mother is not coming home. I'm in Arkas and you're by my side. You're not the only one. To Nicolas and Brother Claude and Marianne, Mr. Beatrice. Aunt Hilda. There was me, supported by all kinds of people."

There was something I lost. But when I looked around, I was surrounded by a lot of people. If you were puffing me, I might make you sad, like Ellis did then. I don't like that. That's when Alfred thought.

Get up and tell me I'm okay.

That's what I wanted to say, so I thought I'd just try a little harder.

"You saved me. I appreciate it."

"If that's what you think, I think you could stay a little longer."

"I think so, so you're leaving. I can't make anyone happy anymore. The desire to make your loved ones happy is a special treatment. To say that special treatment makes an exception. Exceptions always create a breakdown of rules. When the rule of kings breaks, it should be when new rules have risen. Other than that, it's not allowed."

"He's being rational again."

"That's where I'm going, because that's who I am. And a bond."

"With whom?

"Mine, and mine, my favorite person in the world"

"A kid named Yelena?

"She's the best of the girls"

Elise smashes "soka" when she hears that word. She knew. For a long time, he liked the guy better than anyone. More than a kind mother, more than himself, who would surely be his first love, more than anything else, love and respect, and -

"I'm going to take you a little seriously about me and Palomides."

"Yeah. That's good. He is seriously all the way. There are some things that have gone a little too far, but it's all because of my love for you, and most of all, the clumsiness is better."

"Don't be ridiculous."

"It's better to be clumsy than clever. It's better that way. I mean, thoughts."

"Oh, that's very impressive."

"Because your father was. Really, it felt like a hand job. Even in the eyes of children."

"... yeah, you are. I think so, too."

I'm sure only she can share a few of the same thoughts. Because she used to admire that guy. Because I was too young to say my first love, but I still observed it at a young age, and I was closer than the others -

"Yes, you can. You're a man now."

"Thank you, Elise."

Alfred embraced Ealis with all his gratitude. As if to pour out the love of all the overflowing dears. Ellis hasn't broken that far yet. Her first love may have been William, but the next is definitely him, because, yet, the thought hasn't vanished. Still conveys intent.

He wants me to be happy.

A cruel goodbye hug.

"Well, I'll be there."

"Come on in."

"Yeah, I'm coming"

I'm sure she'll be happy up ahead. The best thing about Arcadia is that if you don't, you're in trouble. That's why you keep your distance from her.

At least...

"... it's been a long time"

'Cause I had long hair.'

"... right"

"Yes, I am."

He doesn't have...

"Ah, it's Palomides. What's the matter with you?

"... a walk"

"In a place like this?

"Shut up, Alfred. I don't care where I walk!

"I panicked. Then will the bugs disappear?"

Have all your spirits hang to protect her. I can't treat myself special, so I entrust everything to him. It's an irresponsible story, but for that matter the state, which is a great yuan, defends itself. I'll take care of the two of you.

So protect him, do your best, do your best, and get him to do a job he can't do.

(I'm really arrogant, you're an egoist)

Instead, enjoy your misfortune. In their place.

Because that's what greedy self carries.

"Why!?

"Really, it is. Sure, I'm a lookout and a waster. Still, I have never done any harm to my clan, and I intend to try not to do so in the future. This is a very risky bet. Your Majesty, Your Highness, it's not that simple."

"... Father"

"Leonie, it's lucky you're not on the stage this time. If you have a choice to be still, you should take it. We could lose popular support if we give it to His Majesty, wouldn't we? That's a loss in the long run. Why don't you give it to His Highness instead? If His Majesty wins, there will be no standing. Even if His Royal Highness wins, then he turns politics well and says he can stand as king, which is also unknown"

So many nobles had chosen to be static without giving either. Regardless, there is no choice for those who are already soaked in one way or another, but this house has not been stained or cut off by either Leonardo Borderline Uncle, Leonie's father, so that he can choose.

This is the art of sacrifice, the way of life to die even if one of them breaks.

"My clan observes. That's what I've decided to do when I've made the choice not to gain, but not to lose, to pull into my own territory."

"... then I..."

"And Leonie, my beloved daughter. You're going to be watching this time too."

Leonie stares at her father.

"It's my life. I'll choose."

Strong, its eyes were dazzling and straight.

The glow that Leonardo has lost.

"Hmm, I didn't know my first love would end up here... Dad worried"

Leonie's face stains bright red.

"But I'll pick it again. You don't have a choice now. Because I don't already have it either. Money support? Supply of supplies? Non, they don't arrive. It's over before it arrives."

"... no, because not yet"

"There can be no long battle for His Highness. Short-term showdown, will decide the battle instantly. I'm short, too, but I have military experience. I've done quite a bit of mending. I am aware that it is semi-permeable, but still self-explanatory to that extent. If..."

Leonardo's service experience, the name of the man in command...

"If you're a white knight, you must, yes, you must. Always, don't wait for the opponent's measures. Why do you think he refers to ordinary, universal, mediocre hands who just endure and watch long battles, win, etc!? He is king of the battlefield. Indeed, Master Alfred is astute. Martial arts moves would be great too. But on the battlefield, in their realm, it's the White Knight who wins! I know that. So I put you in that school. I'm not afraid of any objections within my peers, because I knew he would win!

I had never even seen Leonie, my daughter, as if she had been so attached to something. Different works of art, bone pieces, crap, big things, small things, unlike him who kept collecting them. Overwhelming enthusiasm.

"Rapid warfare, whether you set it up to win or not, you cut it either way, but at the end of the day, it's something that goes all the way to the end. I'm sure the war has already begun. Then I won't make it. Do you think your loved genius is going to point your hand at running a horse in time? Do you think the king of the battlefield who cut it back, the monster who conquered those times, will take long?

Leonardo appreciates Alfred well enough. He thinks that if the opponent is not even the White Knight, he can bet all his household wealth to support him. If that could lead to my daughter's thoughts, I still don't get lost.

Still, the White Knight...

"The settlement is immediate. And it also determines our future"

Leonardo had certainty. Both excel, so they don't take the time. The longer the civil war in the mud, the wider the gap that the neighbouring states will enter. They will not commit the foolishness that precious time, resources, is lost.

Then the battle is still - short.
