"Well, that's good... so... you didn't come here to tell me about Hermeda, did you?

Breaking the painful silence, Roberto finally gets to the point.

"Roberto, you... you knew..."

"It's obvious, right? You're treating the defeated general so much. Of course there's a back."

But to Roberto's words like that, Signis shows his face distorted.

"What's that face? I don't think you thought I was that stupid."

"It's about you... I honestly thought it was possible."

"I'm gonna say terrible things to my friend for years."

Roberto glared at Signis when he said so.

Two people staring at each other.

And when they both blew out, they laughed out loud at each other.

How long has it been?

Eventually, Signis turns away the grin that was floating and turns his gaze to Roberto.

"Well, jokes aside... if you know that much, let's just get straight to it. Your shapes desire your power. Give me your help, Roberto. You're not supposed to be buried in one country like this, are you? Or are you seriously going to bury your bones on this northern perimeter like this... don't you really want to try your own instrumentation?

That's the heart that Signis showed, which can usually be described as cold and cold.

Hope I've ever cared about my surrounding eyes and hidden without even saying it in front of my best friend, Roberto. Signis said that for the first time.

But there is nothing more noteworthy than that in his words.

The moment I heard the word, Roberto's eyes emitted a sharp light.

"Dear Mr. Oyato... Hey"

"Oh, Master Oyato..."

Signis repeats Roberto's words again.

It was a deep sense of awe felt from that word.

Although it is the way to call it, it conveys the seriousness of Signis enough.

(I didn't expect Signis to be here in the last few days...)

Roberto's known man named Signis Garveira is, in short, a man who doesn't really put his true heart on the surface.

Of course, it's not something that looks superficial.

Signis would be far more social and friendly than Roberto if judged solely by his appearance and language.

Perhaps many people misinterpret Signis to be more disciplined and submissive than Roberto, and Signis himself has played as if he were from around.

But that is only a pseudonym that hides the essence of Signis.

It was literally a life-threatening issue for him to show his grievances and ambitions in shards around him, who had been pushed to treat his relatives less favourably and less than the children of the side chamber.

When it comes to people who know the true meaning of Signis, it would be something of two: Hermeda and Roberto, nannies and parents of parenthood.

Even the Earl of Salzberg, who relied so much on Signis, never once showed himself in his heart.

No, not even Roberto, his long-time best friend, once heard Signis' true intentions from his mouth. That's...

So Roberto noticed something.

"Right... you"

Seeing the meaning contained in Roberto's words, Signis puts his mouth on the liquor bottle on his desk as he fishes up his lips and laughs.

"Oh, just like you imagined. I'm taking over the Garveira family now."

That means that the four men, born from the daughter of a civilian who is not even a child of the side chamber, pushed his brother in the front chamber to succeed the governor.

This would be the first measure not conceivable in aristocratic societies in the earth world.

The order of succession to the title, however competent, is strictly prescribed. Yes, if they're alive...

"Is that you? Or is it Hermeda?

On the question, Signis slowly shook his neck to the side.

"No, me and Hermeda only found out after it was all over"

"What do you mean?

If the words of Signis are true, who the hell ended the brothers of Signis?

"That man's will."

"Is that your Baron Chai?

Signis nods deeply at the words and shows them.

"When the war was over, he told me he was clear the first time he saw you. There's only one person in the Galveira family who wants to live."

"He again..."

Destroying a clan of enemies is not as easy as putting it into words.

Especially if there are no major problems with the territorial management of the other party and the inhabitants are not strongly dissatisfied with their control.

To take down and occupy your territory. The two are very similar and closely related, but at the same time the nature of the two can be described as completely separate.

"He knows everything. Beginning with the topography of each territory and the availability of town or village specialties, we can't wash everything from the amount of tax to the problems each house had..."

The moment he hears the words, Roberto feels the doubts he has had since the beginning of the war dissolve in ice.

"Well... after all, this is why we fought this battle after a close preparation"

That's what I'm talking about.

Signis grins at Roberto's words.

In common sense, though how to occupy the vast Waltenian peninsula, until a few years ago there was no one magic, such as a people. Being there would be a pirate to the subhuman, and a mighty warcraft.

It is exactly as hell for a nobleman who lives by the taxes of his inhabitants.

In contrast, the northern part of Roselia, which houses ten northern houses, is not nearly as rich as the granary area of the Plains of Iraq.

The battle power ratio with the ten northern families that have dominated it for many years would not have to be compared if it had been the case.

Instead of adults and children, it can be called adult-baby warfare.

At least that's what most of the ten northern houses, including the Earl of Salzberg, would have thought.

(It's not just that there's a strong battle or excellence in territorial management...)

At that moment, cold things flowed down Roberto's spine.

Sure, there won't be any such part, but there are other things to focus on.

"I guess he was releasing a secret detective and thoroughly investigating the ten northern houses... since what time the hell?

It was only a few years ago that Ryo Shiba was told by the Baron that he had come to his land.

Some time after that, he has gone to the kingdom of Zaluda to reinforce himself against the invasion of the Ortomean Empire.

Given the chronological order, the most likely thing would be to return home from the Kingdom of Zaluda immediately, but then it would only be about six months as an institution.

But it's going to be pretty hard to find out all about the Northern Ten in just six months.

"Probably as soon as I get to occupy the Waltenia Peninsula......"

"Signis, you think so too..."

"I'm not sure, but perhaps..."

Understanding the significance of the word's pointing, Roberto accidentally swallows a saliva.

(Interesting man...)

While he is only the lowest baron as a nobleman, his eyes will always look up to heaven.

To the presence of such a man, Roberto felt something hot raise his voice in his heart.

"Well, let's hear it again. What do we do?"

When Roberto exhaled loudly at the question, he slowly uttered the thoughts of his heart as he stared into Signis' eyes.
