Unmotivated Hero’s Tale (WN)

"... please, hang up"

A couch placed in the office of the Alliance of Free Cities headquarters.

Feliam, urging the two visitors to sit there, further informs Secretary Kale of the arrangements for tea.

"I'm sorry. Despite the sudden visit, you were careful."

Kyle, who finds out it was just before he made his return trip, apologizes with regret, combined with having received a tea arrangement.

"No, never mind. Rather, if His Majesty the King of Rhindle were to come to our country, this is where we should visit him. No need to apologize."

"Yes, yes. Well, we don't have to worry about each other. By the way, I'm sorry, former president. Can you make my share coffee?

Ein, who hears Feliam's words, smiles bitterly, mouthing his my-paced demands.

Feliam then sighed out loud as he turned his gaze to see the unfortunate.

"Ace...... no, he was now named Ain? Anyway, you've never been the same. King Kayla said he'd become so fine."

"Finely...... and possibly during the last Western conference?

Kyle, uncomfortable with Feliam's mouth, accidentally speaks of visiting the country only once.

As soon as he got it right, Feliam smiled with a smile.

"Yes. At that time, I was working for the Home Secretary. I remember clearly the pre-aluminum king and one boy who came to this country with him. I find this way of saying it rude to the Head of State, but it really made me splendid"

"No, honestly, I haven't. Unlike this adult country like Kisletin, my country, and myself, still has to grow, is where I grieve every day."

Kyle tries to be light and humble in response to Feliam's assessment with a slightly shy look on his face.

But in response to him, Feliam gave him one real example, and let him admire him on top of the other.

"Ha, the lawn next door looks somewhat blue. Even objectively on that, your arm that perfectly held the coup the other day. I think that was more than the current government in our country."

"Those people around me were just excellent. What I did is only to the extent that I accepted their proposal"

Kyle opens his hands gently, left and right, shaking his neck twice, left and right.

Meanwhile, Feliam, having heard such a statement from him, creased between his eyebrows.

"Oh yeah, fulfill it...... but if you're right, even if the people around you got results, I think that's your feat for taking them. Is it not?

"Somehow, when you're lifted up by a proven politician like Master Feliam, you just really blush."

Kyle, slightly uncomfortable with Feliam's remarks, consciously makes him smile at the look on his face.

Then Feliam, who felt the tide of conversation was about to change, raised one event to the topic that he wanted to confirm, without missing this timing.

"No. I can't believe I'm lifting it. No. It's all in my heart. Above all, the strategy of dazzling the military exercises in the south and controlling the coup in a few was truly remarkable"

In response to that Feliam remark, Kyle understands that the hunch he had earlier was right. And while taking care not to change his expression in any way, he spoke of the explanation as if it were nothing.

"You've been focusing too much on home affairs trying to take over the king. Because I couldn't do a decent military exercise at budget convenience either. Well, that just dazzled me a little too much."

"I'm dazzled...... is that what you say to the people who had the coup?

At the time this topic was covered, one of the inquiries envisaged. That's exactly what Feliam hit Kyle with.

That's why Kyle asks the opposite without moving at all.

"Of course it is, but what's that?

"No, I thought you wanted to be told I was a glare at Grand Duke Blau based in the north of Clarice."

"I see... hey, depending on how you look at it, you can also interpret it like that"

Kyle arms lightly in front of her chest as she deliberately shows an impressive bare gesture.

But seeing his reaction like that, Feliam opened his mouth again when he saw through its insides, slightly in a forward position.

"Yep. At the request of the royalists of Clarice, Lord Blau and the House of Lords have a hand in taking away their options. Thinking about that military exercise, what a lovely operation. Disrupting the coup, selling favors to the Clarice royal family, and bankrupting our government's prospects. Besides, if you can do the military training that was delayed, it's exactly four birds a stone."

"... Dear Feliam. It's just a product of coincidence, isn't it just looking like that? First of all, I have never met Queen Elise of Clarice. Of course, it's in alliance with his country, but there's no reason to just put it on the shoulders of a royalist. And most importantly, I don't know what your government's prospects are. We are part of the same Western Conference. I don't want to have unnecessary conflicts."

Kyle said so with dignity to Feliam, who once served as president of a great nation.

Though still young, Feliam sees that answer that makes him feel intelligent and stylish, and he prefers the young man in front of him. And at this point he predicted that if he got old a lot now, he would be told that there was King Kayla in the Rhindle.

That is why he decides that he should clearly demonstrate his abilities here and now and keep his mental rating at this stage.

However, his such prospects never materialized.

Because a man sitting in the seat next to Kyle laughed cheerfully as if to change the air in the field, faster than he uttered the words that would be his pursuit.

"Ha. No, I wonder if you could make that about it, former president. Uncle bullies a lot of young people, unfortunately he hates them all the time."

"Keep your bad merchants quiet!

In response to Ain, who suddenly pinched his words, Feliam, who lost his opportunity, reprimands him so in a frustrating, mixed voice.

On the other hand, the person who was turned to such anger didn't even show a bare gesture that he cared at all, and just let him open his mouth again.

"Oh, no, this must have been a free country. So I suppose it's okay for me to be allowed as much freedom of speech as it is. And first of all, assuming what you said earlier was true, what's wrong with you? For the leader of the opposition, I think the fact that the current regime has committed a failure is rather a favorable situation"

"… Hello, sir. Are you involved in this?

It was just an intuition as a politician.

But from a rational point of view, Feliam wonders if the man in front of him is likely enough.

Ain gently hoisted the right corner of his mouth against such a man's stuffing in front of him. And just at that time, the tea I was asking for will be brought to the occasion.

"Oh, I knew it was tea... well, you brought it because of me, so I guess I'll take it"

"Ace... are you going to tease me?

Feliam hits a tough gaze against Ein, who looks like he has turned his gaze on the tea he has been transported to and abandoned his answer.

Then, with a troubled look on his face, Ain finally opened his mouth after mumbling once on tea.

"Uh, was I involved or not? Okay, well, what do you think? Well, as a demon stone merchant living in the western part of the continent, it's true that the Tormenian merchants behind the Front think it's less advisable to take it personally."

Merchants spare no political contribution to the united religious front. It was one of the largest religious nations in the central part of the continent, the Turmenians.

They secure a sales route to Kithletin by land or via the inland sea known as the Red Sea. It goes without saying that such a hindsight of them was the religious front organized around the followers of Kremea, the national religion of Turkmenistan.

Therefore, it seems obvious that merchants in the western part of the continent do not often think of them.

But Feliam felt something like a hook from the guy in front of him that wasn't all that.

"... is that really all?

"What the hell is it about? I didn't say I was involved in the earlier incident, and it makes sense that the Turmenians are commercial enemies. So don't look so scared."

"Fine, fine. Now I'm going to snort at your statement. Only now."

Though not convinced at all, Feliam, who did not think any further answers would be required on this occasion, finally gets his fangs shut.

"Ha, I'm suspicious. Anyway, it served its purpose, and I'm not going to postpone the family reunion of the former president any further. So let's say I'm free for today."

"What? What do you mean?

Feliam looks surprised at Ain for trying to pull up too lightly.

And so was Kyle sitting next to Ain.

"Uh, they said to meet me face-to-face, but really that's all for?

"Oh. That's right. For a face-to-face meeting. That alone makes enough sense to deprive the former president of his family of time"

Ain't clearly saying that without showing any stray.

So for the first time, Feliam had one certainty about this very short visit.

"... I see, is that what you mean? The fact that you came into contact with me. So that's the message to them."

From the word Ain mouthed purpose, the answer Feliam arrived at.

With that in mind, Ain said something completely unexpected when he smiled at Nicole.

"Former President. Make sure you're prepared."

"Ready? What the hell is that?

I don't know what the word Ain's mouth means, and Feliam creases between her brows.

Ain then threw a further bomb at him.

"It has been decided. It's for the council to come to."

"Nah..."

Feliam, a politician of war, froze to the spot with his mouth open.

Of course, since he was younger, he always had a notion of a regime that made him head of himself, and that still remained the same today, when he was deprived of the presidency and became the leader of the opposition party.

But his surprise wasn't there.

And the frigid merchant in front of him sees his reaction like that, laughing lightly and overlapping words even more.

"When a storm passes that says Western Conference, one sign will fall. That could be the line dollar, or it could be Clarice. Maybe..."

"... Is that what you're trying to say, that it could be the current regime in the Republic of Kisletin?

That's what Feliam asks in a way that blocks Ein's words.

Ain then deliberately shrugged her shoulder and made her smile meaningfully.

"No, I don't know that, though. But it's important to be prepared for everything, my next president."
