Chapter 6, Episode 24 [House of Lords] Part 2

"First of all, Signis and Roberto, you know what we're gonna do tomorrow?

When they glanced lightly at each other for the inquiry, they turned to Ryo True.

They have two important tasks to do, following the protection of the dinner party that took place the other day.

One is to be questioned as a witness together with Lady Yulia about the backdrop of the battle between the Earl of Salzberg and the Baron of Godzilla. And the other thing is to protect Liang Zhen after the trial is over.

(Well, there won't be any particular problem with witness interrogations. It's just a matter of telling the facts as facts)

Though not particularly effective by the espionage activities of the Igazaki crowd, it is true that each of the ten northern houses headed by the Earl of Salzberg was conducting intelligence operations against Ryojin.

Also, aside from the genuine part, it is difficult to deny the great nickname for the Kingdom of Roselia, which was listed by Ryo Michizai.

Indeed, it is quite unusual in the aristocratic societies of the Western continent to press for the transfer of command of soldiers.

It would also be possible to interpret it as deliberately provoking and bringing it into battle.

But it is also true that they, the Earls of Salzberg, did not move soldiers from the northern part of the country during the earlier civil war.

Certainly there is reasonableness in the fact that it did not move from the point of view of the patronage of the northern part of the Kingdom of Roselia, so no one has ever been asked to take responsibility for it.

But that is just to say that if Count Salzberg, who was also the samurai seen as the strongest corner of the country, were alive, he would not have regarded it as a problem.

It is true that the border guards may have prevented the soldiers from moving, but given the strength of the Salzberg Count family, even a small number of them could have taken into account such considerations as sending knights.

If you didn't move just one soldier, you wouldn't be able to say that you have no loyalty to the Kingdom of Roselia.

Converting those circumstances, there should be a certain reasonableness in Liangzhen's claim that the Counts of Salzberg and the ten northern families have renounced their responsibilities as aristocrats of the Kingdom of Roselia, which is the beginning of this war.

There are no major contradictions as theoretical arms.

Regardless, it is only a fact from Ryo Shiba and his companions, but fortunately no one testifies to it.

In any case, the principals and successors of the ten northern houses are either dying in battle in earlier battles or are ostensibly autonomous in the form of taking responsibility in post-war processing.

And all those who succeeded the ten northern housekeepers, beginning with the surviving Lady Julia, have pledged their absolute loyalty to Liang Zhen.

Because they're all human beings, just like Roberto and Signis, stubborn in family relationships.

In short, all human beings have been neglected by their fathers and brothers for the opportunity to demonstrate their power.

There's no need for them to fall into Ryo Trun, who unleashed me from the curse of a depressed life.

(Problem is after that... if it's true, I just want to bring in more soldiers... I bet I can cut through with a limited number of soldiers...)

Of course, Roberto and Signis are both exceptional samurai, and I still have several experiences serving as guards for the Earl of Salzberg.

It can be considered the best candidate in terms of both strength and track record, and Liang Zhen places full confidence in both of us.

However, there is still no need for anxiety.

Either way, it was an uncertain situation where we didn't know if the last supper party's protection was going to be raided, while this time it's visible that it's going to be a fight.

Moreover, it is the current situation that there are only a limited number of allies of the Baron Goshiba family here in Pireus, the king's capital.

It would be highly unlikely that reinforcements would come when the battle actually began.

In that sense, it is undoubtedly one of the key elements that separates these two newcomers from the light and darkness of a series of measures that will take place tomorrow.

And that was well understood by the two parties.

Most importantly, the two men entrusted with such an important task showed a contrasting attitude.

"Yes, there's no problem, Master Yakuza."

"Everything is as you instructed, sir."

Will Roberto's tone be more like an attitude toward the civil worker's parents than a minister, while Signis upholds his form and courtesy as a minister?

I'm sure there's no problem around the end-of-place liquor store on the back road of Wangdu, but it's the first tone you'll ever hear in the mansion where this nobleman lives.

That's what you won't be able to complain about being charged with death as disrespect in some cases.

That said, Liang Zhen is not so stupid as to blame Roberto for his misconduct as it is now.

Regardless of the official venue of the third party, this venue is only an inner circle gathering.

First of all, Roberto's value doesn't hurt to that extent.

But some people are sorry for that.

"Roberto! You!

Signis rose out of his chair and turned to Roberto, who sat beside him, vandalizing his voice.

This has a strong performance connotation that shows Ryo Trung and his surroundings rather than being seriously angry with Roberto's attitude.

My husband, Liang Zhen, judged it less influential than reprimanding me.

Besides, as a newcomer, it may have some appealing implications for the surrounding ancient ginseng members.

Roberto is one of our few friends if you try to make it a sign.

I guess I just wanted to avoid being excluded from my surroundings because such a friend is boring.

However, Ryo Shin controls such signals by hand.

"Oh, fine, fine. I'm only in the military right now. I don't mind if you take it easy on Signis."

To such a lord, Ryo True Word, Signis lowered his head lightly and lowered his back to his own chair.

In fact, whatever Roberto calls it, Ryojin himself doesn't really care.

Of course, there are limits, and times and places are not a problem.

Because Liang Zhen's true face would be crushed if the minister called her husband inside the royal palace or at a banquet seat inviting guests.

But the truth is, it's just something cute, like Roberto's husband calling.

Because Rione and others still can't wait to call Ryo Trun a boy.

Besides, Roberto has enough upbringing as a nobleman.

If it bothers you, it will show you the perfect courtesy.

If you do poorly, you will be in a better position to beg for teachings from Ryojin, Baron Niya, or Rione from the civilian population.

Nevertheless, it's not like there's a problem.

(New ginseng and ancient ginseng...? Not a particular problem now......)

Rione is one of the top executives in Baron Goshiba's house.

Also, of all the people in this room, they become the second longest relationship after the Malfist sisters.

Such a rione and Roberto's position in fighting as enemies in the battle ahead are never the same.

Even if he was now the same Liang Zhen minister.

(Roberto the crook on the common sense signal... well, there's no problem with the co-competence story. I feel like I've seen the exchange now, and it doesn't seem to be a bad reaction to Mr. Rione and his surroundings... and I'll see if I can use these two well afterwards...)

The dispute between the ancient and the new ginseng is the most important cause of the breakdown of the organization.

Successful control of such a scheme is arguably the most demanding responsibility of the organization as the head.

After all the meetings, when Liang Zhen announces the dissolution, everyone takes up their seats one after the other.

Of course, I guess I'll go to the final confirmation for tomorrow.

Everyone leaves the room early enough.

But there was only one human being who had no sign of rising from his seat until hours.

When Liang Zhen turned her gaze, Elena quietly looked back.

How much would we have stared at each other?

Eventually, Elena, who was keeping silence, slowly opens her mouth.

"But you chose your hand."

Included in that voice are grief and grief.

Indeed, a series of measures that will open the curtain tomorrow will never be pleasant if we try to make it a hero known as the [White Military God of Roselia].

The absence of the color of the evacuation against Ryo Trun is probably a sign that I understand there is no way to do it.

Liang Zhen asks such Elena quietly.

"Don't you like it?

There's no guilt in that eye, no stray.

I suppose that's exactly what you would call mindfulness.

Liang Zhen's readiness is already set.

"Well... I've been prepared to do this since the day I decided to attend the dinner party the other day... to be honest..."

That said, Elena quietly turns her gaze out the window.

Clear weather with no clouds.

The sky continues far away.

It seems like you can fly to heaven like a bird just looking up, such a sky.

"Nice weather... unlike my heart..."

"Yeah, really..."

Liang Zhen nods quietly at Elena's whining, powerless.

Of course, I understand the grids and worries that swirl inside Elena.

Sometimes the cause depends on your own decision.

But whatever Elena's feelings are, there is something called Liang Zhen's position.

(I wanted to avoid this happening...)

Liang Zhen is just trying to protect the reason and interests of herself and her people.

If you can avoid it, you want to avoid it, but if you cannot avoid it, there is nothing else than to proceed without fright.

Besides, Ryo Trun is not responsible for the cause of getting into a situation like this now.

It all started on the day that a man named Lupis Roselianus rebuffed his promise to a man named Ryo Shiba by the weakness of his heart.

But that would be an excuse for what.

Elena is a man who has literally given her life to this kingdom of Roselia.

So, Ryo, seriously, there are no more words.

Because bad good translations and comforts felt like insulting Elena.

Liang Zhen lowered her head gently to Elena, quietly leaving the room behind.
