Wortenia Senki (WN)

I pinched the table and the two stared at each other silently.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds...... time similar to perpetual robbery.

Only Zenmai-style clocks with elaborate sculptures placed on the tabletop just quietly mark the hour.

(What did this guy just say...?

Pushing and killing the fear of crawling up his spine, Grisson repeated Ryo True words in his heart.

Grindiena Erneshar, queen of the kingdom of Ernesgoola, is in the king's capital Drysen, far from Memphis, a front-line base.

That's the only reality that the youth in front of you can find out.

The words of a young man with a straight gaze were just supposed to be bullshit.

I tried to laugh off the worldly superstitions, but Grisson's mouth dried to a crisp and his throat sticks.

(Are you telling me this guy noticed His Majesty's thoughts?

I have heard from reports of intermediaries and merchants that the young man standing in front of them is a cutter.

He said that while he was a civilian, his intelligence also shaped the destiny of a country...

(No, yes... being able to read His Majesty's thoughts means nothing more than being shouldered by His Majesty... such a thing...)

"Stupid...... Your Majesty to the King's capital Drysen......"

Breaking a long silence, when he finally heard Grisson squeezed out, Ryo Michizawa laughed with her lips suspended.

Just looking at the look on his face, Liang Zhen is convinced that he won the bet.

"Is it Drysen, the king's capital... I don't think so."

Grisson's face is distorted by Liang True's stabbing gaze.

"What the hell are you doing that based on..."

Until earlier, it was certainly Grisson himself who took the lead in the field.

But the atmosphere on the ground changed.

Now it is the young man with a thin laugh in front of him who takes the lead in this arena.

I didn't mean to insult you as an old young man, but this was beyond Grisson's imagination.

Grisson unwittingly turns his gaze to the mirror raised on the wall...

"I have a rationale... I just think it would save me a lot of time to talk to Master Grindiena after we've had a conversation, rather than explain it now."

"Oh... that's..."

Grisson clogs words again.

Neither affirmation nor denial could be done by Grisson.

"Trouble… As you know, General Grisson, we don't have much time."

Ryo Jin also shook his head when he didn't say he was in trouble.

Fact is, Ryo, there's not much time left for the truth.

You can't waste your time engaging unauthorized people at all times.

Ryo Zhen glanced at the mirror hung on the wall with chirali.

Grisson's face blues when he realizes what that gaze means.

(This guy... why?

"But it would also be disrespectful for you to suddenly come and tell His Majesty to meet you...... will you first follow General Grisson's words for today? Captain Gried, if you'll excuse me."

"Ooh, oi."

With that said, Liang Zhen tries to encourage a grid to stand by and watch what happens.

Ryo Zhen then lowered his head deeply toward the mirror raised on the wall and headed toward the door.

The only people who know what that action means are Grisson and another human being.

Gried took his seat after Liang Zhen, while keeping his eyes black and white.

"Now, excuse me for this. My men should be taking an inn in the castle town of Memphis, so I'll come by later to let you know the name of the inn. I apologize to General Grisson, but I would like you to tell Master Grindiena about me."

Carefully bowing his head again, Ryo Jan turns the door knob in the room.

But Ryo Jin closed the door that was about to open to the voice of the woman hung from behind her back.

"Enough with the belly searching. Let's make a farce for each other."

When Liang Zhen looked back, there was a woman there who should not have existed before.

Soon one of the bookshelves lined up on the wall is oblique.

Perhaps he was watching Ryo's behavior over the magic mirror. And you decided there was room for negotiation, and you must have come out of the secluded room next door.

"I've been getting a lot of reports about you. Turned into a young hero of Roselia, an otherworldly man summoned by the Altomere Empire. Hey, Baron Shiba."

Bell-ringing beauty.

And that voice is filled with the will to just lay people down.

Releasing an overwhelming presence, the woman stood beside Grisson.

But Ryo Jin keeps her calm expression and quietly bows her head.

"We worship your face and we are delighted. Dear Grindiena Erneshar"

Seeing that, Grindiena Erneshar, the young queen of Ernesgura, wearing a brilliant crown, smiled gracefully.

"Well, let's hear it."

With her hips down on the couch, Grindiena turned her gaze to Bright True's face sitting face-to-face.

Surely she would not be called an endless beauty.

Even though you are dressed in a luxurious pure white dress made of lace or gemstones, if you only compare the beauty of your appearance, you may say that you are a few steps inferior to Lupis or Chardina.

But the carefully filled blonde waves gracefully, and the almond-shaped eyes attract those who dwell with a strong light of will.

Speaking of years, it would be something like whether I could get my hands on it from the mid-twenties to the thirties.

That is the figure of a woman rumored to be a northern female fox.

"Which story should I start with?

Hearing Liang Zhen's words, which she inquired without fear, Grindiena laughed with pleasure as she opened her eyes.

"Right. Grisson seems to care too, so why don't I ask him why he decided I was in Memphis? That's good for Grisson, isn't it?

Turn your gaze to Grisson, where Grindiena stands beside you.

"So..."

Seeing Grisson snort silently at Grindiena's inquiry, Ryo Jin quietly opened his mouth.

"To be honest, I didn't know in advance that Master Grindiena would be here. However, considering the various conditions, I thought you had the means to work closely with General Grisson stationed in Memphis."

"I mean, when you understand what I want, you can think of that, right?

Grindiena shines her eyes and slaps her hand with joy.

"It's not complete...... the approximate place"

Ryo Zhen nodded quietly, widening the map of the Western continent he was bringing to the table.

"That's good, you. Those idiots Zaluda spent more than a year wasting my time raising tips... and honestly, I was really worried that Oltomere was going to destroy them."

While talking about the survival of a country, Grindiena's tone is as light as a public discourse.

(Again, you hung it on the balance so that you could fall either way... it's just nicknamed boulder, female fox)

Seeing Grindiena's attitude, Ryo Jin realized once again that his predictions were correct.

"Shall I ask your answer?"

Grindiena's eyes shine like a child who got a toy.

"Yeah, well... first thing I noticed was that the Ernesgoola Army stopped pitaling and invading a year ago after occupying Memphis while they were waging their troops so quickly. I felt it was a sign of negotiation."

If Ortomere invades all of Zaluda, we cannot remain silent, even as Ernesgura.

But that's why, idiot. I honestly just worked with Zaluda to fight Ortomere, and the interest in being flattered by Ernesgura is thin.

The kingdom of Zaluda itself is located in mountainous areas and is therefore unsuitable for the production of food.

Demanding that we give up a quality iron mine, although we can take it, will be the same thing for the kingdom of Zaluda, which has no other industry such as this, to destroy the country.

Although the nobles are patriotic towards the Kingdom of Zaluda, it is basically a culture of independence and can never be said to be submissive to the King's orders either.

No, the Zaluda royal family itself is just the alliance's dominant position.

King Julianus I of Zaluda is rumored to be mediocre in the world, but it was also natural.

He is only a mediator or representative, not a ruler of the kingdom of Zaluda.

"Over the past year, the Kingdom of Zaluda has repeatedly sent envoys to Ernesgura, but discussions have not progressed"

"Yes, what did you think when you heard that?

Grindiena turns her gaze to explore as she mouths a cup poured with tea.

No matter how much land you give away from Zaluda, it means nothing if no profit comes from it.

"Regardless, I take the decision of Master Grindiena for granted. No, if they moved the army on those terms, on the other hand, it just seems to me there's something behind it."

Hearing Liang Zhen's answer, Grindiena nodded satisfactorily.

"Well. I hear those idiots meant to inspire the conditions with the thought of a severance... right. I've been watched very sweetly trying to use me under those conditions."

"Was it still so"

"Of course, right? When I think about being pushed together to guard the independent nobles..."

Grindiena sighed like a shudder.

The territory that has been presented by the Kingdom of Zaluda side is roughly the north of the national territory of Zaluda. Overall, it was about a fifth.

But it is only natural that Grindiena showed difficulty in its terms.

Indeed, a condition can also be described as breaking.

If you put it on Zaluda's side, it could be considered a condition offered with the thought of spitting blood.

We give up our territory without a fight.

But that's just a casual thought on Zaluda's part.

They lack the perspective of how Grindiena, the transferring side, will receive it.

You don't know that what you want isn't necessarily what 10,000 people want.

Originally a country with many mountainous areas unsuitable for agriculture. Regardless of the land with the mine, it is not suitable for the extent to which it has been given a somewhat wider territory.

Besides, half of the territory presented has a lord.

The biggest problem was that everything was not under the direct jurisdiction of the Zaluda royal family.

Because it seems very unlikely that their nobles will obey Grindiena's rule.

We cannot leave uncertain aristocracy behind the borders.

If we leave such a human being alone, we will bring in an unexpected spark with interference from our neighbours.

But there's no reason to change their territory.

Except for the fact that it is richer than the territory you are ruling now, because in the same degree of territory, the territory you have ruled from generation to generation is easier to rule because you know the land pattern.

So if Grindiena does not prepare a land as rich as they are convinced, they will never let go of their territory.

And if they are forced to push for a realm change, they end up rebelling.

From the Grindiena side, you'll only feel pushed by the troublemakers.

"Then it would be better to attack Zaluda while his rulers change and his reign is shaking, after Ortomere destroys him. That would also serve as a pretext for eliminating the nobles in the way. Master Grindiena thought so."

To Ryo True's words, Gried breathes unexpectedly as he watched his way into silence beside him.

Although I had heard the explanation beforehand, it was a harsh story for humans serving the Kingdom of Zaluda.

Because it is like being told that there is no lack of interest in the survival of the Kingdom of Zaluda.

"It's natural, isn't it? I am the queen of Ernesgoola. I'm ordering the soldiers to die, and there's no such thing as good money."

Gleed felt an unspeakable fear of what he felt on the battlefield as Grindiena laughed with her shoulders flaunted.

Even as he laughs, his face sheds a fierce light in his eyes that only those who are aware of their responsibilities as rulers and bear them.

"But then it will be a total confrontation with Ortomere. Although the national power is somewhat won by Ernesgoola, we don't know which way the victory or loss will fall beyond saying it's almost the same. Not to mention the battle within Zaluda with little land exploration. If I could, I'd avoid fighting alone."

At some point the sharpness of the blade dwelt in Liang Zhen's eyes, which were serene.

"So?"

"That's why, Master Grindiena, you didn't move the army while you occupied Memphis. And you'll be here until you vacate the king's capital, Drysen. To understand exactly what you're up to, and to see if there are enough people to fight with."

When Grindiena laughs joyfully at Ryo True's words, she turns her expression over and looks sharply.

That's exactly the face you deserve to be called the northern female fox.

"Naturally. I'm not going to work with a fool...... good, if you know that much, let's get down to business with Sassa...... what exactly did you bring?

The air dominates the room as if it were cut with a sword.

No, they're waving the sword of words right now.

Bet on the fate of one country...

"Yeah, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

With that said, Ryo Jin offered Grindiena the letter he had given out of his nostalgia.
