The bitter air covers the sight.

There was a color of tension in the faces of the guard knights standing left and right across the red carpet.

That's natural, too, in a way.

Because it is the first time in a long time that the hero of the Redemption, who has now led the civil unrest to an end, and the ruler who tried to eliminate it, face to face.

Guards and civilians. And the face of a leading nobleman.

The gaze of every human standing in this room was poured on the man kneeling and waiting for the queen to enter the room and the guards behind him.

"Long time no see, Baron Chai. Face up."

As Liang Zhen knelt down in front of the throne, Lupis' voice rang from above his head with the sound of rubbing clothes.

Point your sharp gaze at the challenging Mertina standing on the left hand side of the throne.

It's the same time I first met her that I'm making her refrain from Meltina beside me.

"It's been a while. Sire."

Following Lupis' voice, Liang Zhen raised his face with a gentle grin as he knelt.

On his face, there is nothing floating about his aversion to Lupis, his anger, his contempt.

Perfect aristocratic manipulation.

And a gentle grin that seems good to people.

When I saw him, the air that covered him between the sights loosened.

Though utterly unspoken, most of the upper echelons understood the certainty between Lupis and Ryo Misaki True.

They were worried that this meeting would be a rather staggering development, but it is a soothing slip in addition to their thoughts.

It was also natural that they stroked their breasts down.

But at the next moment their faces were stretched together in words released from Lupis' mouth.

"I think the situation was written in Elena's letter, so I'm going straight to the point. As Elena's assistant, I'd like you to join Zaluda's reinforcements."

They all just thought it was something to cut out after some formal greeting.

Whatever it is, it's how it's been.

I was wondering if the venue atmosphere would soothe in a conversation without other love before cutting it out, but Lupis seemed to have made a different choice.

Single entry.

I guess it is not a very preferred means for a nobleman who weighs the forms, but it was a good impression for Liang Zhen, who dislikes the wasted forms.

Liang Zhen replied with a firm voice when she smiled calmly as her surroundings spurned and watched.

"We'll take care of it"

A twist happened to the word.

Indeed, the sight in front of you will be more incredible than anyone who knows a human being named Ryo Misaki.

Some parts of his personality, but most importantly the undeveloped periphery of the Waltenia Peninsula, etc., into territory, a few months later in the year. A demonic realm abandoned from the kingdom for years. A land where no people even pay taxes.

As a practical matter, there's no way we can accumulate enough power to send out soldiers in this short period of time after being pushed over such a land.

Naturally, most of the people standing in line during this glance thought Ryo Jin would refuse Lupis' request.

Only a handful of people with good knowledge of the true character of Ryo Ozai, headed by Elena, didn't think so.

"I just need a few favors."

In the words of Liang Zhen, once again the twist wraps between the glances.

(Well, naturally...)

Lupis nodded quietly, prompting Liangzhen ahead.

She was calm on the surface, but she herself, in her heart, was prepared to refuse her own request.

Conversely, it was accepted too lightly, once the poison was removed, but the man in front of the boulder is not sweet.

He's an old man with a nice smile on his face.

Good physique, but somewhat mediocre appearance.

But Lupis understands enough to say no.

That the man in front of you is a meat-eating wesen.

It was only about a year ago that Gerhard, then Duke, took on Princess Ladine as the son of Falst II, the previous king and father of Lupis.

The Knights are inherently royal shields and contradictions.

For Lupis, who had been bullied by General Hodrum for 80% of those ways, the only ones he could count on were Mikhail Bannersh, who had served as his own guard for many years, and Mertina Lecter.

In a situation where there was not even a light of hope, he appeared.

He chopped down the nobles known as bystanders and drowned thousands of enemy soldiers in the Tabe River to build a bridge headfort [Devil of Iraklion].

Cruel and ruthless with cunning "Here and Now"... a man who can take any means he needs.

But on the other hand, he was sincere and sincere to Lupis.

At least it was believed more than the uncertain aristocrats, etc.

(Yet I betrayed him...)

Indeed, on the face of it, he described it to the nobility as a reward for his war effort, giving and benefiting a territory called the Waltenian Peninsula.

But Lupis himself understands best that that's what comes out of his fear of the man in front of him.

No, there's no courtesy, no shit, while leaving undisclosed borders as territories where you can't expect tax revenues that have been abandoned from the kingdom for years.

In fact, it is an open secret in the ruling class of the Kingdom of Roselia.

"Say it."

Lupis made up his mind to say so.

It was you who made the decision.

So all responsibility lies with me.

Lupis decided to drink on any terms to protect his country.

No matter how painful that is.

Because there are no other means left to protect this country.

That night, in a room in the royal castle, Liang Zhen was receiving a visit from Elena.

Lower your hips on the couch, and the two gaze.

"That was a quicker reunion than I thought."

Elena stares at Ryo True with a gentle grin like her mother's.

"Yep. I'm surprised, too."

The light of the lamp placed on the tabletop illuminates Elena's face.

(Kind of a mess, I guess)

Nodding at Elena's words, Liang Zhen's gaze was directed at Elena's little wrinkle, Kojiwa, engraved on her face.

I didn't realize it because it was far-sighted when I saw it during the sight, but it seems to be struggling considerably.

"Has that advice gone to waste?

It's about the advice Liang Zhen sent when she broke up with Elena.

"Yep. To be honest, I didn't think this was going to be so bad... I don't know what to say to Elena..."

Ryo Jin told her thoughts without hiding them.

Liang Zhen herself is the one who brought Elena back into office, even though she is paying the price of admitting revenge on Hodrum.

I cannot absolve myself of the responsibility of putting him on a ship called the Kingdom of Roselia, which is close to a mudship.

The thought pushed Ryo True's back.

"Again... you should have executed Viscount Gerhardt then"

Liang Zhen shook her head at Elena's words whining in a sigh mix.

"Looking at the current situation, even if you abandon Mikhail and execute Gerhardt, the results won't be very different."

"That you don't deserve a king?

Elena's eyes narrow, pointed at Ryo True's face.

That's the equivalent of slandering the king.

"I'm not calling it disqualification, but I guess it's true that it's not very appropriate. Well, if someone trustworthy took power and she ruled with symbolic presence, the result would have changed considerably."

I shrug my shoulders and answer Ryo Truly Elena's eyes lost sharpness and she gave me a sad look.

Regret.

That pierces Elena's heart.

"Right...... that would certainly have been better for this country and for His Majesty Lupis. If someone like you could support her..."

That's a meaningless fantasy to assume.

The rebellion of the nobles and senior knights of this country, cemented by lineage and gates, is strong against Ryojin, who was not even a citizen of the Kingdom of Roselia, even though he had the power of war during the civil unrest.

While they pride themselves on their own households and bloodlines, they have a high pressure mindset towards the civilian population.

Still, there are parts of the same people of Roselia that can be convinced.

Even if it was an inadmissible.

But Ryo Jin is different.

He can't tell with every horsebone. He's just a mercenary.

As a result, Liang Zhen was described as a baroness and became a member of the aristocracy, but since it has a strong domesticative connotation, it is just a story that there are no people who view it as a matter of voice.

The special terrain of the Waltenia Peninsula only suppressed the refusal of the nobles, a measure that is not normally possible.

There is no way that Ryo Shiba will be involved in the operation of the country in such a country.

Whether Elena is also of civilian origin or not, in her case she has made achievements and allies over the years.

The aliases spread to neighbouring countries are also significant.

Liang Zhen and I were in too different positions.

And the biggest reason is that Lupis himself kept Ryo Trun away.

All the conditions showed that Elena could not speak.

But Elena regrets it.

Maybe.

That word binds Elena.

"Well, that's a good story..."

Sighing deeply, Elena squeezes her expression and turns to Ryo Makoto.

Assumptions are just assumptions to be interpreted.

Where I regret it, the reality remains the same.

(You just have to do what you can now)

Yes, because the great power's fangs are imminent in the Kingdom of Roselia today.
