Chapter 6, Episode 10 [Subpoena from Wang Du] Part 4

On that day, the painful air covered the king's office, which was set on the corner of the castle in the middle of Pireus, the capital of the Kingdom of Roselia.

Of course, there's only one reason for that.

It was a report from a group that recently delivered a subpoena to Baron Goshiba's house.

"As long as it's done... I've always responded to clams and calls..."

Having completed his daily duties in the office, Lupis looks up at Mertina, who stands on his side with a deep sigh as he deposits his body on his back.

It's confusion and fear in those eyes.

I know I shouldn't put unnecessary effort into my beloved Lord, but there's no way I wouldn't report it to Queen Lupis if it were such a case.

"Yes... I would have answered the call sooner or later, but I didn't expect to be answering this so quickly..."

Since Ryo Michizawa ruled the northern part of the Kingdom of Roselia, there hasn't been much time since today.

It is a time when we are struggling with the rule of a newly won territory, if it were meant to be.

I would like to encourage politics in my own territory, unless I am a fool who can't understand what internal affairs is without thinking about territorial governance and trying to squeeze as much money as possible.

Nonetheless, Ryo Michizawa answered the call so reluctantly that Lupis and the others clapped it out.

Regardless, there's nothing wrong with that if you think about it normally.

It was the House of Lords of the Kingdom of Roselia that issued the subpoena in any way.

You can say that the power is just immense.

It can be said that time and, in some cases, even kings are comparable.

This time, however, only the appearance of hearing the witness is taken.

I'm pretty sure it means a lot different than being summoned as defendant from the beginning.

Therefore, it is not unnatural that Ryo Mitsuzai answered the House of Lords' call.

But I don't congratulate Queen Lupis or Martina enough to honestly rejoice in the current situation because of that.

Even now, Ryo Misaki has been drinking boiled water more than once.

"But then... what do you think that guy's thinking?

To Question Queen Lupis, Mertina tilted her neck.

Question from the beloved Lord.

If it had been Mertina a long time ago, I would have forced myself to twist the answer.

But I don't feel that way about Meltina right now.

Just as I answered that I didn't know what I knew, so I realized that I knew what I didn't know was also an act that made people go the wrong way.

"Honestly, I don't know what to do... but honestly, I went to the subpoena to receive the text on par..."

"Do you really think that Mertina would make such a sweet decision about that firewood?

"No... I thought that was highly unlikely only for that man"

With that said, Mertina sighs small.

After the civil unrest ended, the Arbitrage Award gave the territory of the Baron and the Waltenian Peninsula because he wanted to keep and kill a man named Ryoujin Goshiba. It was impossible to reuse mercenaries who could not even be considered as the bones of any horse, not even the people, in the rigorous Kingdom of Roselia of the identity system, and that is why it would not be possible from the hands of that civil unrest to expel them to the field along with the reward of just going as promised.

As a matter of national security, we cannot tolerate the possibility that such a talent of conspiracy could serve another country.

Elena seemed to hold onto her men's prophecies, but in fact, even under Lupis, the solemn purity of your son Ryo Shiba was prophesied.

The story of [cunning to death and cooking a running dog] is neither exaggerated nor anything.

Because the greatest enemy of the powerful, whether western or western, is a competent subordinate.

But Lupis didn't kill your son Ryo Shiba.

No, should I say that I couldn't have chosen the option of killing you because of the bottomless creeps that a human being named Ryo Misaki possesses?

As a result, however, the territory of the Baron Goshiba family has now expanded to dominate the northern part of the Kingdom of Roselia.

Of course, I knew I was a cutter, but if I could show such rapid growth in a short period of time, there would be no other procedure than sighing as Lupis.

"I still don't care what happens, you can't admit you own the North..."

To the words, Mertina nodded deeply.

"Naturally. As a result of the conflict, we have completely destroyed most of the ten northern houses and annexed their territories."

The issue of this disturbance.

The war that took place between the Baron of Godzilla and the ten northern families headed by the Earl of Salzberg is not so much a problem under the national law of the Kingdom of Roselia.

Beginning with the possession of village wells, disputes over territorial boundaries and the surrender of criminals who have fled to other territories exist so much in this earth world that a spark of war between lords is worn out and discarded.

That can be a skirmish over the ownership of the woods used to collect firewood for daily living.

Regardless, if they were meant to be, they are not a matter to be judged by the laws of the Kingdom of Roselia.

But in the earth world, where communication technology is scarce and street maintenance is absurd, there is no time or effort to just judge them one by one.

The ruling foundation of the law is very fragile.

Therefore, the local lord's battle is admitted by the parties doing things to one another to a certain extent.

That means nothing more than that the winner's say takes precedence.

But...

"Well... you can't even admit that as a king. Never."

This story can actually be described as a divided grey zone of judgment under national law.

Speaking of northern Roselia, it is a vast piece of land that will be nearly a fifth of the entire kingdom.

Together with the Waltenian peninsula of the Baron Shiba family, it will produce a greater territory than the kingdoms that flock to the south.

That is precisely the scale that cannot even be contained in the framework of the Principality.

In addition, it is a great question whether Liangzhen Gozai, with a territory of such size, will continue to serve the Kingdom of Roselia with great care.

"The Baron Shiba family is comparable to a third of the Kingdom of Roselia in terms of the size of the territory alone. There is nothing else to say about this as a territory where subordinates can hold. Now..."

That being said, Meltina cut the words.

Because I felt too disrespectful for Lupis to speak of it.

Most importantly, Mertina's care means nothing to Lupis now.

"Well... perhaps that man will aspire to independence... if I know your son Ryo Shiba"

There was a distressed look on Lupis' face.

Such a face, like when you're forced to admit facts you don't want to admit.

But that won't do either.

Ryo Misaki, who is supposed to be his subordinate in the formula, aspires to independence.

That is, because it is like Lupis Roselianus was told that the ruler did not deserve it.

"Your Majesty..."

Meltina knows.

Since the day Lupis sat on the throne of this kingdom of Roselia as queen, how many thoughts he had sacrificed himself.

Meltina understands.

That Lupis' heart is already breaking.

So Meltina swears from the bottom of her heart.

When you follow the Lord to the end of your own lifetime.

(But I won't let you do what you think. Whatever means you take...)

At that moment, a dark flame dwelt in Mertina's eyes.
