A few days have passed since Ryo Michizai took over the Earl of Salzberg and took control of the fortified city of Ipilos.

This is Tristron, a border city located southwest of Ipilos, king capital of the Kingdom of Roselia.

Originally flourishing as one of the trading hubs with the Kingdom of Zaluda, the city was also famous for its abundance and security after the King's capital.

"Well, I'll just have to say it's old now, too."

Chris frowns at Elena's words like that.

Surely I can understand Elena wanting to voyage, and that analysis would be correct.

But it is only with Elena's power and fame that this Tristron is now able to maintain its status quo.

One of Elena's inadvertent remarks won't allow her to predict what's going to fall.

Chris is the only one in this room right now.

So there won't be an inadvertent word on the table, but it can never be anything.

The safest thing to do is not talk.

"I know how you feel. But here..."

Guessing the meaning of the clouded word, Elena sighs again and sticks out her hand telling Chris to give her the next paperwork.

The report, which comes up below me from the next to the next, begins with a petition for improved security coming up from the inhabitants of Tristron, with a request for an increase from the defensive corps that conducts the patrol. And even a petition from the Coalition of Chambers of Commerce, which bulls Tristron's economy.

and Elena couldn't help but feel frustrated with the pile of paperwork sent from next to next.

No matter what, I'm not sure.

In fact, Elena also has experience in governing the land occupied in the war.

There's no way Elena, who has successfully controlled even the people who were enemies, can't deal with her own people.

But aside from the ability, it would be an undeniable fact that the current situation is a burden for Elena and, at the same time, a major transboundary act.

Of course, there will be no guilt just because the situation is a circumstance, but I still don't want to take unnecessary risks.

(That said, if you don't get your hands on it, Tristron's administration will be paralyzed. In that case, even if Zaluda asks for reinforcements, there will be no movement...)

Elena's role is to appear as an immediate unit when another reinforcement request comes from the Kingdom of Zaluda.

For the time being, it is more obvious than to see fire that the Ortomean Empire will invade again soon, although it has drawn its soldiers.

Originally, there was no lord in this Tristron. In other words, it is one of the Crown's direct jurisdictions, and the administration of the city is partitioned by deputies seconded by the King's Capital to replace the Lords.

So when it comes to why such administrative relations paperwork comes under Elena Steiner, who is not a deputy, it's simply a matter of competence.

(Well, I'm sure no one thinks I'm going to file a petition with you now...)

Elena sighed again on the face of the man floating behind her brain.

Originally, this city called Tristron was famous for its untouchability.

Regardless of the decades before there were frequent fights with the Kingdom of Zaluda, I just said that there might be one or two times a year in recent years, such as moving defensive teams outside of daily patrols.

Nor did they mobilize all of the two hundred defensemen.

Commerce has developed sufficiently and there is a moderate distance from the Wang capital.

A subtle distance if you ask if the royal eye is as good as it is in the countryside.

It is arguably a very savory land for a lonely junior nobleman to go as deputy.

That's why the Tristron-based Chamber of Commerce, even in silence, makes a pile of gold coins.

But things have changed dramatically since I got here.

Indeed, it would be true that the scars during the earlier civil war were quite significant.

There can be no small aftermath of the battle that bisects the ruling class of the Kingdom of Roselia.

In any case, both sides adjusted beyond the limits of the force they could mobilize. It was natural for domestic production and security to be affected.

But by nature, those wounds are no wonder they're already healing.

Some sacrifice was made in Iraq's offensive battles, but tens of thousands of units of soldiers collided in each other's battles because, unexpectedly, there was less human damage.

(Yes... the damage from that battle was surprisingly minimal...)

The Iraklion Siege was spared the misery initially contemplated, thanks to the compliments of former Duke Gerhard to Queen Lupis before the war began.

It would be to the extent that some blood was shed to eliminate the remnants of the Knights, who pledge allegiance to General Arleberg, from occupying part of Iraq.

But the clouds became suspicious from around the reinforcements to the Zaluda kingdom that happened afterwards.

Many farmers have abandoned their fields and displaced people have increased throughout the Kingdom of Roselia.

As a result of the influx of displaced persons, both in urban and rural areas, security has deteriorated extremely.

Then the number of displaced persons will increase in chain, and banditry will increase dramatically within the kingdom.

And, unfortunately, Baron Joseph Stein, Tristron's deputy, had no power to survive this difficult situation.

No, power, to be precise. Previous stories.

Anyway, he's taking his side, calling it a sudden illness, and pulling it into the deputy's mansion.

When that happens, there's only one option Elena can take.

The result is the current tragedy.

(But this will also be for a little while... if the battle of Ipilos is over... next...)

A secret conversation with Count Zeleif, who visited under Elena the other day.

The conversations that were exchanged at that time are in no way allowed as subordinates, but there is no other option to rebuild the current Kingdom of Roselia.

I understand that so much that Elena herself doesn't like it.

With that thought in her heart, Elena kept running a pen on the paperwork.

It was the news of the fall of Ipilos that night that the decree came in shortly after occupying the castle gate.

The stage will then again move to Pireus, the king's capital.

Yes, with countless thoughts scattering sparks and shredding a litter.
