Wortenia Senki (WN)

One star invisible cloudy weather.

It is as if it implies the fate of this kingdom of Roselia.

Cold north winds roar through the plains.

The moon illuminates the walls of the fortified city of Ipilos, which soars in the darkness of the night, with a slight face from the thick gap of the clouds.

"That's a nasty night..."

That's what Roberto Beltran said. When he glanced at the moon like it was stained with blood that he could only see for a moment from between the iron lattices, he closed the silk curtains by hand.

For a long time the red moon has been passed down as a sign of ferocity.

Indeed, if the blue and white moon is usually dyed red, there is no way to feel anxious.

Not to mention, Roberto is a biological warrior.

It's not like I'm going to spare my life, but it's natural that I want to take charge of the exam.

Not to mention that Roberto is trapped in this room right now. If you say so, it's a bird in a cage.

"But... what the hell is going on out there? I hear the battle ended with a victory on the part of Baron Shiba..."

Roberto sinks his hips deep into the couch as he puts his mouth directly on a bottle of brandy placed on the table.

A burning sensation of strong alcohol running through your body.

Aromatic aroma that spreads in your mouth.

Thanks to the eyes of the Earl of Salzberg, it is the finest liquor that even Roberto, with more eyes than ordinary nobles, has no doubt about.

At any rate, Roberto's brandy, no matter how cheap it is, is guaranteed to be at least one gold coin.

Then throw the knob of cheese placed on the table into a shard of mouth.

"This is the situation, but I can't drink it more than once..."

The Baron Beltran family, my parents' home, is a nobleman's end, but it's never meant to be wealthy.

It would have been different if it had been a promising mineral vein, but unfortunately agriculture and livestock production are mostly when it comes to the main industries of the Baron Beltran family.

Although some forestry is also carried out because it is near the border with the Kingdom of Zaluda, it is only to the extent that it meets the demand within the territory.

The inhabitants are full of circumstances in their daily lives.

Naturally, a lord can only have the economic power to do so.

Well, he's a nobleman, albeit a weak baron. There is no shortage of daily food in boulders, but you can say that you can barely afford to spend money on preferences.

Regardless, harsh taxation would not make it possible to live in the territory of the Baron Beltran family at all.

But such impossibility cannot last forever, and fools who do not understand it will not keep their homes.

Inevitably, the Baron Beltran family will have a homely style with an emphasis on qualitative compliance.

On the other hand, however, there is no way of not preserving your dignity as a nobleman.

Before that, when it comes to ridiculous looks, we can't ignore much more than what it means to maintain order.

Not to mention, Roberto is not heir to the Baron Beltran family.

It's an easy position to say, but it's something that I've always eaten for in clothing and living.

But fortunately Roberto had exceptional martial arts.

And Count Salzberg also cared about Roberto every time he had something like that, which turned him into a pretty fat man with a tongue against that identity.

Even from Roberto's eyes like that, the situation is too cozy right now.

(All-you-can-drink alcohol and rice... Most books plug in from the castle library if you ask. Except I don't know what's going on out there. It's just paradise... the question is why are we treating the defeated general like this...)

It was already about a week since Roberto was kept in this room.

This is a room to keep your honor in captivity set in the corner of the castle of Ipilos.

Is the room roughly the size of a luxury hotel suite?

It's simple, but it has a bath, and it has a toilet.

The beds are soft, the bedding is regularly changed and clean every day, and the meals are made over time by the castle cooks.

They bring most of the books from the Count's library if you ask, so it's essential to crush your spare time.

The only difficulty is that the caretakers are not young maids, but fully-armed, nasty knights?

Probably considering Roberto's chances of trying to escape.

(Well, I can think of several reasons...)

Once again wrapping a bottle of brandy, Roberto quietly closes his eyes.

Roberto understood his situation.

There are several possibilities for keeping prisoners alive.

It would be particularly likely that one of them would either use it as a card in negotiating something or demand a ransom.

But Roberto is like a tumor to the Baron Beltran family. Not as good as Signis, a friend, but it doesn't make a difference that he is neglected by his family.

Especially from the man and the normal room where he was born. He hates me like a snake scorpion.

If you try them, Roberto is only a threat to his position.

Assuming that your son Ryo Shiba takes Roberto hostage to demand something from Baron Beltran's house, it is unlikely that the Baron Beltran family will take it.

(You wouldn't pay a single vita for ransom)

They will rejoice in a small leap when they can finish Roberto without getting their hands dirty.

Such a modest figure of his own family floated in his brain, and Roberto mocked silently.

(Well, there's a possibility that you don't know those circumstances...)

But it would be unlikely that a man would have such a clue around such elaborate schemes.

Anyway, I showed Signis Galveira, much more rational and forceful than I am, in a condescending manner.

(Then later...)

When Roberto's thoughts reached that point, the door to the room was knocked lightly.

"Go ahead. I don't mind if you come in."

Slowly the door to the room opens.

Look at the man standing there. Roberto slowly rose off the couch.
