Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

The kingdom of Granfram was Alexandros in the west, the kingdom of Winheel in the north and around the capital, the kingdom of Fatiras in the south, and the kingdom of Granfram in the east. But this composition will collapse in just a few months.

Winheels retreats from the Royal Capital. If the Royal Army of Alexandros occupies the royal capital instead, it will be renamed the Great Alexandros Empire. Lancelot was named Emperor.

Under the name of the emperor Lancelot, orders were given to the kings of Winheal, Fathiras, and the kingdom of Glanfram to subjugate.

In response to this order, King Elwin, King of the Winheels, immediately swore his vassal, and was instead granted absolute inviolable autonomy over the territory of the Kingdom of Winheels. There was a secret agreement in advance.

On the other hand, the kingdom of Fathiras and the kingdom of Glanfram were unable to grasp the situation due to a rush of uncertainties. Even before that, we don't even know who the emperor is, why we have to swear obedience.

Not only the kingdom of Granfram, but also the kingdom of Fatiras refused to be subject to obedience.

The great capital of the Great Alexandros Empire, Kiyoto. When the occupation of the former kingdom of the Grande Fram is completed, the functions of the imperial capital will be transferred there, but the politics of the Great Alexandros Empire is still taking place in the capital.

Sitting on the throne is Maria, the Empress of the Great Alexandros Empire. Emperor Lancelot is leading the army, and Maria is now in charge of government.

"I know Gran Fulham, but did you reject Fatiras?"

Maria seems dissatisfied with his report.

"Because I'm suddenly obeying the ministry, is it reasonable?"

The ministries are right. But this remark was a bit imprudent.

"... you're saying that I'm an empress, you're wrong?"

"No, never in such a thing ..."

Under the expression of Mary's anger, the minions detect their gagging and turn their faces pale. For her, she is not the former Maria. Before she became an empress, she was kind to everyone, but now she just doesn't like her, and she can even condemn her.

Many thought that people had gained power and had changed, but that was a mistake. The act that was not kind of changed, but was kind to everyone, was to gain the joy of his ministry, but this is not yet known.

"I'll forgive you this time."

Maria is in a good mood after seeing the terrified expression of his minions. In this way, he is happy to see his power.

"Huh. Thank you."

"Go down ... Well, what's next?"

Maria's gaze turns to a civilian standing diagonally to the left. Bordeaux Cohen, Prime Minister of Great Alexandros, is the target of former Maria. Maria had been collecting the attackers who had let go four years ago. It's too blatant to collect their favorite members from Lancelot's ministry and claim "Team Maria", so we're creating an organization called the SS.

Bordeaux was born out of the SS when he founded the country and was selected as the highest rank of civilian.

"Till now, it's almost as planned. It would have been easier if we saw the treatment of the Winheels kingdom and imitated the Fathiras kingdom. "

"Yes, but in that case, will you leave El Fran to Elwin?"

If the Great Alexandrus Empire takes over the Kingdom of Fathiras, the Kingdom of Granfram will be contested by the Kingdom of Winheels. That's such a promise.

At the request of the Elwines, they do not want to allow only the Great Alexandros Empire to expand. Despite his obedience, Elwin remains ambitious.

"It's such a deal."

"What if you're in the Grand Flam Kingdom and leave Elwin with Fatiras?"

Maria wants to fight the Grand Flam Kingdom. I want to fight and let Prince Arnold break his knees in front of him.

"Fateiras is ahead of the Merika Kingdom. Well, you can be attacked from the east, but what about?"

Bordeaux does not explicitly deny Maria's idea. This is also why Maria likes it.

"Is it possible to take the Merika Kingdom to Elwin?"

"I cannot completely deny the possibility.

Bordeaux does not think that the Kingdom of Winheels can fight the Kingdom of Merika alone. The Great Alexandros Empire can do this because it has a new weapon, a firearm.

The possibilities are endless, but one word changes the perception of the other.

"When it comes to Merica, Elwin will be on track ..."

Maria is also aware of Erwin's ambitions. They have been together for a long time. I know Erwin's personality.

"Contrary to that, we may struggle with the Battle of the Grand Flam, because there are Bandeau troops in the Kingdom of Grand Flam."

Just the opposite was the case of Prime Minister Raymon. Rather, Bordeaux is thinking about this possibility.

The battle between the kings of Winheels and the kingdom of Glanfram is prolonged, during which time their country takes the kingdom of Fatiras and then the kingdom of Merica. At this point, the entire continent will fall to the Great Alexandros Empire.

This would make Maria willing to choose to attack the Kingdom of Fatilas, but Bordeaux is afraid of not doing so.

"... Is it still strong?"

In the Genie campaign, Maria witnesses the strength of Bandu's territory. First of all, the Band ド ゥ s troops worried Maria.

"It seems that Arnold's instructions have expanded his army considerably. Apart from individual strengths, I think it is generally stronger than before."

"I see. What should I do?"

Bordeaux's eyebrows are slightly distorted. He realized that it was a failure to talk about Bandeau. Maria has a feeling of inferiority to Bandu's army. Bordeaux did not know this.

Maria does not recognize inferiority. Always try to wipe it out. There was a possibility of opting for a fight with Bandu territory.

"... Good, I'll save the fun later."

After thinking for a while, this word came out of Maria's mouth. As Bordeaux Minister, I am relieved. You can move on to the strategy you think is best.

"Now we are preparing for the defeat of the Fatiras kingdom."

"When will it be?"

"Immediately after the Emperor's seizure of Tokio, the new Emperor's capital, is scheduled for a month."

"Yes, then you have to move a little."

"... Is the Empress going to go?"

This was unexpected for Bordeaux Minister.

"It's obvious, right? I'll be leading the SS, and I'll have to gain a little more combat experience before deciding with Bandu."

"However……"

"What? The Prime Minister is unhappy with me standing on the battlefield? I'm a hero?"

“… No, I understand.

Bordeaux knows that Maria's explanation is an excuse. I was also a former SS.

Mary's fundamentals have not changed since her institution. The SS, who has both talent and beauty, are Maria's reverse Harlem personnel.

But now as Empress, Maria can no longer easily meet the man. Even if you can meet, the maid is always on the side. Maria felt this cramped. You can move freely outside the castle. This is the reason to go on the battlefield.

Even if he knows, Bordeaux cannot say anything. In other words, I know that myself will be affected.

◇◇◇

The kingdom of Grand Flam was stolen from the royal city, and fell eastward, working hard to assemble the disorganized Kingdom Knights. The north-south-south and the all independent kingdoms have no choice but to go east.

Then the destination will be Band 先.

The Grand Flam Kingdom has decided to counterattack based in Kamark, Band ド ゥ on the eastern end. But things are not easy. The territory of the Grand Fram is the smallest of the four. It is unlikely that noble families will ride on losers, and the number of friendly troops is unlikely to increase.

A meeting is held every day in Kamark to try to break the status quo. Even though we can't find a solution, we can't do anything other than discuss.

"... Is it impossible to ally with Fatilas?"

King Granfram, who was silently listening to the discussion, muttered Potulli.

An alliance would allow the independence of the House of Fathiras. King Granfram has been cornered so hard to do so.

"Is it OK to consult the Alliance?"

Says Reidham, Prime Minister of the Grande Fram, asks a terrifying question. If you don't do anything, you will just die. Prime Minister Sade wants to do so if he can do so.

However, this also means giving up the original Grand Flam Kingdom. I'm worried how much the king knows and says.

"Is there only this much to prevent destruction? And I don't know if Fatilas would accept it."

"Yes, but Fatiras is also on the side of being cornered. Axmia to the north and the Kingdom of Merica to the southeast.

There is too much potential for the Kingdom of Merika to take advantage of this opportunity. With the division of the Grand Flam Kingdom, power relations have been reversed. If you're only against Fatiras, you'll definitely win the Merika Kingdom.

"Yes, send me a messenger."

"Hah"

"After that, since Fatirs' answer came."

King Granfram is clearly losing his stomach. It takes more than two months to return after sending the messenger. During this time, nothing can be tolerated.

"What about the counterattack?"

Here Prince Arnold opened his mouth. Prince Arnold came to make Bandou a base for his counterattack. I can't stand being just waiting for the messenger to return.

"It's only after the alliance has been formed."

"To form an alliance, you must be deemed worthy of your opponent."

"... are you not worth it?"

Not really worth it. The power of the Grand Flam kingdom today is inferior in all respects to the former lords. Only five soldiers are barely close to five minutes. The number of soldiers is the smallest compared to the three kingdoms after the independence.

This fact should be known, but King Granfram has not accepted it. I believe that applying for an alliance here and granting independence is sufficient for the terms of the alliance.

"So what exactly are you going to do after you form the alliance?"

"What did you say?"

"Lancelot and Elwin are in a subordination relationship. Even though we and Fatilas form an alliance, they are inferior in every way. Just because we have an alliance does not mean that the other party is afraid of our country. You have to show it. ''

"... I know that."

"Let's move on to the planning of the counterattack quickly. There's not enough time."

"If you think so, make your suggestions first."

The groove between King Granfram and Prince Arnold is definitely wide. The king, who is depressed just before his death, and Prince Arnold, who is taking an active part in solving the situation. The difference between the reigned and the reigned is causing a gap between them.

"Now I've been given permission, so let me talk."

Prince Arnold had been thinking about a strategy. In addition, with the permission of King Grande Fram, we will talk about it, so it will be considered as a formal strategy.

The king has a bitter face in view of Prince Arnold's thoughts, but he cannot say that he should stop it now.

"We propose to send messengers not only to Fatilas but also to the kingdoms of Ochs and Hashiu. The content is to request help as an ally in the crisis of the kingdom of Grandefram.

"... I can't put the army out."

"It's not that there's no possibility at all. It doesn't matter if it ends up being bad. The purpose of sending messengers also means exploring the developments of the kingdoms of Ochs and Hashiu. Or will it be the controlling nation of some country, in which case you need to strengthen your defenses at the border between the two countries? "

“…………”

Ox Kingdom and Hashiu Kingdom attack. King Granfram did not consider this possibility. Even though he knows that the current Grand Fram Kingdom is only as strong as Ox and Hashiu, he still does not accept it.

"We must avoid any situation where either the Ox kingdom or the Hashiu kingdom, or both, attack Bandu. For that we must show our power."

"……In particular?"

"Fight the win heels and win it."

"What is Axmia going to do?"

"Lancelot's army is heading to Fatiras, and Winheels are heading for our country, even if they don't like it. It looks like this will be the battle for the foreseeable future."

"... Why do you know that?"

King Grande Flam is very open-minded. Prince Arnold's speech felt like that of Leon.

"I got the information. I think it's trustworthy."

"Is it a win-heeled war? ..."

King Granfram's feelings seemed a little lighter when he knew that he needed to deal only with winheels. A little power has returned to the thinking eyes.

"We have to decide on a policy. If you are defensive, Bandu is a solid land. It will not be easily attacked, but if you do this you will abandon other land."

The area around Bandhu is also under the control of the Grand Flam Kingdom. But those lords do not swear absolute loyalty to the kingdom of Granfram. It's just that the closest army is the Grand Flam Army. If the Winheels arrive at the territory, they will betray them.

In order not to let it go, you must show that the kingdom of Granfram has the power to protect your territory. You need to make it feel better to attach to the Grand Flam Kingdom than to the Winheel Kingdom.

"Do you hit me ..."

You have to do this without thinking. Approximately 20,000 Royal Grand Flam Forces reunited. Even this number is not a number that can be nurtured by Bandu alone. You have to hit it out and take control of the territory of the Winheal kingdom, or you can't keep it.

"Are you all right in that direction?"

"... Can I win?"

"I will win. I am not thinking about winning."

"... I see."

Just do nothing and the destruction waits. There is no point in being afraid of losing. If you lose, it will only perish a little faster.

With the approval of King Grand Fulham, the army of Grand Fulham was embarked on an invasion campaign against the Kingdom of Winheel.

◇◇◇

Another meeting was held next to the meeting where the important decisions of the Grand Flam Kingdom were made. Meetings are not afraid. It's just like having a chat with a cup of tea.

"Does it work?"

Anxious, Sol asks Eriel.

"The prince isn't stupid. If you give him the information he needs, he will make the right decision."

The source of Prince Arnold is the Black Party. All information is in the ears of Eriel.

"But how does the king decide?"

"I think it's okay in this case. No matter how long you win the defense, it's ridiculous that it'll just die."

The reputation of Aeriel's king has become increasingly dry. With all that preparation, he stumbled out of the castle, but in the end, the king's coming to Bandhu is a bit unconvincing.

"I'm worried about the strength of the Winheel kingdom."

"Yes, maybe the number is double?"

"Yes. The army of the lords, including the dependent nobles, was about 40,000. The win heels were only slightly increased and should not have changed much."

This is the same for Fathiras Kingdom. Only the Great Alexandros Empire has doubled to include many nobles and the Royal Knights. It has the largest territory and stands out in Shikoku.

"I don't move all of the 40,000?"

We cannot afford to empty the country. There are a variety of military tasks, such as maintaining security and protecting borders.

"Normally, but if we decide that Glebli will not be attacking and abandon the border defense, we will move 30,000 or more if it is bad."

"What do you think of Sol?"

"I would abandon the defense against Greblis, because placing half of the 20,000 would not prevent it. I would aim to destroy the graphla and take its power a little sooner."

"Yeah ... hey, it's Grebble or Graffra."

It turns out that Greblí is the kingdom of Great Alexandros and Grafla is the kingdom of Granfram. However, Eriel was concerned about what Sol said.

"The Venus is."

"Venus?"

"I heard that Lion was sometimes shortening his long name. Venus said it was interesting and imitated."

"Talk about that with Venus?"

The same guard has long been together. But the conversation is obviously off-hours. Airiel did not remember hearing the two talking.

"Yes. I'm often told about Leon's story."

"Oh, is that so?"

Aeriel's gaze turns to Venus, who is waiting behind him. At that time, Venus's face was bright red. It is a very easy-to-understand reaction.

"I was worried, but Aeriel was still Aeriel. I wonder if my parents were nicknamed."

"Yeah, I'll call her. I asked Rion to call her, but I don't want to call her suddenly because she's married."

"that is……"

It seems like Sol doesn't understand.

"Rion sometimes has a strange feeling. Does Sol call Venus as Vee?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Oh, are these things similar?"

"What is it?"

Unfortunately, at the moment, Sol has no fondness for Venus. On the contrary, he doesn't seem to notice. What is insensitive to these things is the same as Rion.

"Good. I still have time. I have to work hard for that."

Rion will come to pick me up someday. Believing in this, Aeriel stays in Bandeau. There are wars here and there, and it's been judged that traveling with Frau is dangerous.

Until the day comes, the kingdom of Grande-Flam must protect Bandeau. To this end, Aeriel and his colleagues decided to help the Grand Flam Kingdom.
