Chapter 6, Episode 26 [House of Lords] Part 4

The carriage continues over the cobblestone toward the royal castle.

(I can't believe I got in the carriage, since I started visiting the Count Salzberg residence... at that time, I couldn't even afford to care...)

Such thoughts pass in Ryo Tru's chest, who was gazing out the window.

The carriage is provided with wooden chairs.

It's terrible when it's uncomfortable to sit.

Cushions are placed once, but they don't really mitigate the impact.

It's a shame it looks like it's a huge piece of lace.

(I don't know if suspension is a carefree thing that doesn't exist in this earth world in the first place, or if it just doesn't perform well again... my ass and hips hurt)

Ryo's true hand unexpectedly reaches his ass for a different feeling than riding a horse.

As a person who belongs to the aristocratic end, I wouldn't say much of a liker of dressing.

However, there is no one in this carriage who sees such a bright and true figure.

Normally even the Malfist sisters as escorts and maids who never leave Ryo's true side first are the same.

(Is it a formality or harassment... well, either way, it's been a long time since I've been alone. Will you let me stretch my feathers until I arrive? You won't be raiding boulders at this time... na)

Ryo Jin smiles as he thinks about the carriage boarded by face-to-face, which can be called his own arm.

Of course, Ryo Jin would have considered the raid at this time as a possibility if it were normal.

However, the farce that is going to take place is a farce, but hence the importance of physical appearance.

More than impeaching Liang Zhen, who began to be treated as a [hero of the Redemption] if he were to make it into the House of Lords, the unnecessary institutional flaw "Kashi" could strangle us later.

It would never be in the House of Lords' interest for Liang Zhen to be attacked on the way to the convoy.

That's why rumors have spread that he murdered a hero and so on, even though it can be a matter of oiling a kingdom where security is on the way to deterioration.

That's why they're greedy. The result of a fair trial...

(Especially for the most powerful men in the House of Lords, I guess I'm the enemy who killed my own people.)

Liang Zhen understands that he is neglected by the nobles of this Kingdom of Roselia.

A significant number of people gathered at the dinner party held the other day, but that is also only an extremely small number from the point of view of the entire nobility belonging to the Kingdom of Roselia.

Also, blood ties of the aristocratic class would be an element that cannot be fooled.

They kill each other fine, even in blood relations.

But on the other hand, they suddenly join hands against the outside enemy.

And aside from whether the blood is thick or thin, the number of aristocrats who have been related to the Count Salzberg family, which has continued with continuous cotton since the founding of the Kingdom of Roselia, is high.

There are two ways they can get revenge like that.

Appeal to force or judge by law.

Nevertheless, the exercise of force is a fairly high hurdle choice for them.

It would also change the story if all the nobles within the Kingdom of Roselia were to attack in unity, but it would be difficult to cross a spear with Ryojin, based on the natural element of the Waltenia Peninsula, which struck down the face of the Count of Salzberg and the ten northern families.

As much as you take such a risk, it is safer to plead not guilty, with national laws that forbid private warfare between nobles.

And the thought of such aristocrats is also the plot staked out by Lupis Roselianus, king of this country, and his neighbor, Mertina Lecter.

(Well, I don't know how many places are coincidental and where it came from was Lupis and Meltina's plot)

As we can see from what we heard from Julia after the war, having the Earl of Salzberg conduct intelligence operations against the Waltenian peninsula is a typical skill to intentionally create a confrontational structure.

It's just hard to believe that Lupis and the others even put it in the calculations at this time to move the House of Lords.

At least, at the stage where Ryo Trung was pushed through the Waltenia Peninsula, he wouldn't have put up that much of a nasty plot.

If you were that wise, you wouldn't have taken Liang Zhen so seriously.

At the time, at least Liang Zhen herself had nowhere to include against Queen Lupis, nor would Queen Lupis unilaterally feel horrified and ostracized without understanding such Liang True feelings.

(If the tide changed, reinforcements to the kingdom of Zaluda... I guess there...)

Though he gave the Waltenia Peninsula and other frontiers in hopes of dying, Ryo Jin betrayed Lupis' imagination and gained solid ground and military power.

But getting rid of this isn't easy, even for a king.

If Liangzhen Gozai tries to forcibly take up the territory he has cut open with his talent by his royal decree, he will turn it against his enemies even to the nobles who try to defend their vested interests.

That can be fatal at a time when the situation in the country is not stable.

That's why Queen Lupis chose not to intentionally intervene in the conflict between the two families.

And the Earl of Salzberg and Ryoujin Gozashi ate together and tried to exhaust themselves.

While I'm thinking about that, the carriage starts to slow down at some point.

(Apparently it's on...)

When the carriage stopped, Ryo Jin grabbed the cry he was standing beside him and lifted his hips out of his chair.

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon."

Lupis Roselianus, who was dawning on paperwork in the Royal Castle's office, raised his face from the stopping desk to move his hand in the voice of Mertina, a nearby one.

The fatigue caused by daily intense duties is intense and creepy on its righteous face.

"I wonder what's wrong?

A voice that is somewhat annoying.

To that voice, Mertina faintly smiles.

That said, I have something to tell you first.

"Your Baron Chai arrived in the House of Lords earlier."

The moment I hear that word, a dark shadow passes in the face of Queen Lupis.

And he nodded small with a fine voice after a long silence.

"Yes..."

It was full of grit and guilt.

And look at Meltina like she's about to complain about something.

But even though he understood the meaning of that gaze, Mertina did not break her clerical attitude.

If I hung up on Queen Lupis right now, she could have expected to utter the word "abort."

But that's not even possible right now.

The rooting to the House of Lords has already been completed.

I can't stop doing that now that I've spent less time and money.

(No, assuming I stopped taking His Majesty's thoughts as a priority, so what?

The answer to that question was already out in Mertina.

Above and beyond, this place can only haunt the mind and keep the plot going.

So Meltina gives a deep salute, looking straight back at Queen Lupis' eyes.

And I turned my heels back, as if to ignore Queen Lupis, who was about to say something.

(That one is already close to the limit...)

It is the tired face of Queen Lupis that passes in Mertina's chest after the office.

In modern society, even one step before depression may be diagnosed with hard work due to overwork.

If it was meant to be, it would be Meltina's honest desire to have it refreshed, both physically and mentally, on vacation for a few days.

(But... I can't do it now...)

It's been a few years since I've been with Queen Lupis about the throne.

I was also much used to my work as a king.

But I can't read the trends in the Altomere Empire, and now that we have a spark in the domestic situation, there are too many cases that Queen Lupis herself has to settle in the first place as a theory.

In addition, the fact that a ditch has been formed between Count Bergston, who was the central figure of the regime, is applauding matters.

(I guess we should try to repair the relationship as soon as possible......)

It is physically impossible for Queen Lupis to handle all of her state affairs - military, internal affairs and diplomacy - by herself, not to say how she aspires to a king-led politics.

Meltina, who assisted her in her daily affairs, also knew Queen Lupis herself.

However, Liangzhen Goshiba's relationship with Count Bergston has made Queen Lupis and Martina hesitate to take concrete action to repair the relationship.

(But today everything will change... it should change...)

It is a hand that blows away the dark clouds heavily dripping over the heads of the Kingdom of Roselia.

The thought diverts Meltina from her mind.
