Wortenia Senki (WN)

The sound of a gentle knock on the door echoed into the room.

Then a finished beauty like the sound of a bell reaches the bright true ear.

"We've got a customer."

Perhaps you understand what the upcoming talks mean.

The voice contains something like slight but unusual hardness.

Most importantly, is it possible that Liang Zhen could perceive it because he has been summoned by this earth world and has been suffering together since today?

Sarah quickly turned her gaze to Liang Zhen, who stood beside her in her sister's voice.

Eyes that are as brilliant as the usual jewels.

But Liang Zhen sensibly perceived the slightest amount of anxiety behind it.

(Sarah's a little nervous too... well, naturally...)

Depending on the outcome of the forthcoming talks, Ryojin's path forward will change dramatically.

Of course, we have made full arrangements so that we can fall into any deployment.

But it would still be a big bet.

In that sense, Ryo isn't feeling a little uneasy himself again.

Nevertheless, it is also true that we cannot keep our guests in front of the door at all times.

Confirming that Ryo Jin nodded small, Sarah quickly opened the door while maintaining a degree of speed that would not be disrespectful.

And invite the old man standing in front of you into the room.

"We've been waiting for you. Please come this way."

Guided by the words, Viscount Julio Gerhardt slowly advances into the room.

But I guess you still have some vigilance.

Liang Zhen immediately perceived Viscount Gerhard's eyes quickly checking inside the room.

(Can't you be completely alert... even this one, is it safer to be that careful?)

Ryo Jin smiles at Viscount Gerhardt like that.

And I slowly offered my right hand forward.

"I'm finally able to meet you in person. I am more than happy to welcome you to this mansion."

That's a really friendly attitude.

If a third party who knew nothing about this situation witnessed it, they would have misinterpreted the two as close friends.

Indeed, given the difference in status between the Baron and the Viscount and the interactive relationship between the two, it is certain that the practice of exchanges between the nobles of the Kingdom of Roselia also feels somewhat discouraging.

But at least it definitely doesn't look like the relationship we fought over splitting up on enemy allies in the civil unrest ahead.

Even if it is only a visible superficial part.

And the two people who understand that best will be the parties.

Viscount Gerhardt lightly holds the hand offered by Ryo Trun.

Of course, I don't do anything childish to intimidate you with all the force you put into squeezing your hands, as is often the case in movies and novels.

There's no point in doing it, there's no need for it.

(That's about all Viscount Gerhardt understands. I heard you're arrogant and have no nose, but isn't that all...? Well, I guess you haven't tied the aristocracy to Dada, so whatever your true intentions are, it's natural that you can do this much belly art)

People's minds are invisible.

That's why goodwill can only be shown in action, and malice makes sense to hide it until the time comes.

At least, it is better to observe friendly attitudes and courtesies, unless it is also a clear difference of identity between the two, as Ryojin did when he first met Lupis, who was the princess at the time.

Even if it's just a trick...

(While remaining vigilant, he maintains a friendly attitude. Whatever the real Viscount is, he's going to be willing to negotiate with me. Nevertheless, the problem lies ahead......)

Ryo Jin turns her gaze to Chirali and explore.

(The Earl of Salzberg threw the reign of the realm round Madame Julia and continued to enjoy herself)

What floats behind Liang Zhen's brain is the figure of one samurai twisted in his heart by the shady customs and irrationality of the aristocratic society.

He loved this country wholeheartedly, but therefore his heart was greatly neglected from hatred and anger as a result of his betrayal of that love.

And you wanted your own death somewhere in your heart as you cut out for such an irrational world and spent your days pretending to be enjoyable.

To him like that, he is exactly a livestock or slave to the people.

No, if I did poorly, maybe it was just a perception of the extent to which I was a tool to keep generating wealth.

Of course, examples like Count Salzberg are extremely rare in this earth world.

Even though the owner of the house was insane in his heart, the Earl of Salzberg was able to retain his majesty and military strength as the ally of the ten northern families.

That and this would only be possible if there were both a major place called Ipilos, the heart of the northern part of the Kingdom of Roselia, and a human presence that was good at its political strategy: Countess Yulia Salzberg.

If it were normal, the house should have been crushed by the rebellion of the inhabitants or the intervention of the king.

But even if no nobleman is as shaken off as the Earl of Salzberg, it will also be true that for the majority of noblemen, the inhabitants are only tools to satisfy their own greed and pleasure.

And a man named Julio Gerhardt is arguably typical of an ambitious and arrogant idiotic aristocracy nestled much in the Kingdom of Roselia.

Even without thinking about the fact that Liang Zhen was automatically hostile to Princess Lupis' side at the time of the civil unrest earlier, he is honestly not the kind of person I would like to hang out with very much.

No, instead of wanting to hang out, Ryo is the type of person who actively wishes to die.

However, the report gathered by the Igazaki people changed that decision.

Of course, there is no certainty.

All we have is the information that the Igazakis have gathered and the assumptions based on it.

That's why we set up a place for secret talks.

Ryo Jin slowly releases the hand he was holding and invites Viscount Gerhardt to the couch set in the center of the room.

And he bowed his head deeply toward Viscount Gerhardt, who sat on the couch opposite him.

"I apologize for calling you in spite of this time."

Indeed, Liangzhen's apology is right if we are to make the difference in titles a problem.

Unless you're even in a close relationship, it's disrespectful for a lower human to call the superior to the mansion, and even if you did, you wouldn't be the first to call the other person to the room.

Not to mention, it's not until late at night, but the night is getting a lot better.

How many minutes after 22 o'clock is the time?

They wouldn't say it's that late in the day if it's modern society, but it's already a good time to wake up from your bunk when the sky's white, or say it's late at night, based on the general feeling of the earth world going home with the sunset.

Even in the sense of entertaining a guest, it would not be the preferred time.

But Viscount Gerhardt slowly shook his neck sideways to show for such words of bright truth apology.

"Please raise your face. Baron Goshiba. Given the unfortunate mistakes that have taken place between us, it should be called an undesirable pleasure just to have created such an opportunity. Don't worry about boring things. Let's talk about a happy future rather than about an unfortunate past"

With that said, Viscount Gerhardt nods and shows with a grin.

Liang Zhen raised his face lying down according to the words.

The gaze of both crosses on a table made of sandalwood.

(Serious eyes... So you're not going to put pressure on Kasashi... at least you seem willing to talk to me properly...)

From Viscount Gerhard's gaze and expression, Liang Zhen realizes that there is no lie in his words.

(Does it mean that Dada has not been tied up with aristocrats...)

If you are a foolish nobleman who doesn't understand the situation, you will take Ryo Truth's apology as if it were natural and satisfy your boring self-esteem.

And if you're a man named Julio Gerhardt, whom I've heard from Queen Lupis or Mertina, you definitely did.

I've been looking too hard at you with my color glasses.

Queen Lupis and Meltina have been at odds with the aristocracy for the king to regain his power as king.

Naturally, the evaluation of Viscount Gerhardt, the head of the hostile faction, will be harsh.

Honestly acknowledging the beauty and advantages of an enemy requires a human measure of breadth.

And, unfortunately, that would be something they wouldn't be able to hold on to if they were too young to burn ideally.

It is a rare mistake for Liang Trun to emphasize the back of the information that has dragged her to such an assessment.

(Well, I can't believe I'm going to face and talk to the enemy leader like this, because I'm not)

Needless to say before the civil unrest, even after the civil unrest there is no direct knowledge between Ryojin and Viscount Gerhardt.

Liang Zhen was drawn to a room in the Royal Castle that was lent to her because she planned to leave the Kingdom of Roselia after the civil unrest ended, meaning to keep her out of trouble, and she is traveling straight to the Waltenia Peninsula after Queen Lupis has reneged on her promise.

Stopped by the court both before and after his expedition to the Kingdom of Zaluda, but during that period Viscount Gerhardt was drawn to a new territory.

Not that I don't know your face, but to the extent that the Precision was misplaced once or twice in the royal palace.

That is also only to the extent that we have seen Viscount Gerhardt from a distance, surrounded by overconfidence and factional humans around him.

There was only that degree of connection.

Naturally, the fundamentals of assessing people to Viscount Gerhardt are built on the information of Lupis and Mertina.

But the impression changes dramatically when we actually exchange words face-to-face.

It must be true that you are arrogant in character, but you have the wisdom to just push it away.

That means you have as much self-control as you can control your emotions.

(No, if you say arrogance, it sounds bad, but if you rephrase the word, you can also say nobility or loneliness)

At the end of the day, I guess it means that people look at things within their sight the way they want to.

"Now let me sweeten you to the point..."

"Fine."

To Ryo Tru's words, Viscount Gerhardt nods deeply and shows.

And Ryo Jin opened his mouth slowly again.

"I'll ask you straight in. What do you think of the current state of affairs and the fate of this country?

That's a really dangerous question.

Even if it is not direct, depending on what you hear, it can be interpreted as disrespectful or treasonous.

That would be relentless bullet crap if around Mertina knew that Ryo Jin had spoken this word.

It can be called time and place, and the word for choosing the person.

At least, it's not a word to ask towards someone you don't feel comfortable with.

And answering such a dangerous question also involves the same dangers.

But Viscount Gerhardt answered flatly as if he didn't care about such dangers, etc.

"Not far away, this country will die..."

It's like, a fate you've already decided.

By then Viscount Gerhardt's words are full of certainty.

Viscount Gerhardt then reached for the glass placed on the table in a relaxed motion.
