― ― When Leon Grants entered the reception room, Polk Nadar, the meeting partner, already seemed frustrated.

... Polk Nadar.

As lord of the Nadar kingdom in the westernmost part of the kingdom, he is one of the kingdom's most senior aristocracies with a throne.

Enveloped in a jacket favoured by the kingdom's nobles, the abdom was barren and blurry.

Still, it can be said that the meat protrudes from various places, so it is completely idle.

Loose cheek meat.

The eyelids became thin and crushed with meat.

Does it make my internal organs worse? The part of my face is black as if it was soiled.

Looks like a fat pig or a horrible eating cow.

Because of the luxury accumulated in the past, it gives the impression that it is somewhere backwards, which promotes arrogance.

He is now sinking deep into the sofa in the reception room and is receiving a report from his subordinates.

He was brutally blowing a cigar in front of a minister who was kneeling and thanking him.

The smoke in the room is full of cigars because they like cigars so poorly ventilated.

I would reach out to the cigar to mislead frustration, but if things don't get carried well, it seems as if they still show up in attitude.

"... did Seylan escape?Lucky bastard. "

"Yes. I am now returning to Rustinel territory and calling upon the lords to gather.Probably as soon as we're ready to attack the territory. "

"I guess you're right.The back of my hand was revealed.You can't even listen to the explanation anymore. "

Polk Nadar spits cigar smoke out of his mouth, further soiling the indoor air.

On the other hand, the subordinates who were hit by the smell gently peeled off a few times and continued talking.

"My lord, thank you very much."

"What?

"If Prince Wang is going to build an army, isn't it important to attack and destroy it before it's ready?The faster I get, the more I know I can get out of here as soon as I'm organized. "

Polk Nadar's men suggest the best course of action, but Polk Nadar does not.

"Hmm! I'm not afraid of Seiran!It would be easier for the soldiers to fight if we were carefully prepared. "

"But that's how many enemies we'll gather over time!?

"I know that, too.However, the decree of this gathering was not issued by the King, but by Prince Seiran.The lords do not gather so easily.Besides, we have an ally called the Empire.As long as we can count on support from the great powers, we can bring this to the battle of the basket castle.- Is that right? General Grants. "

Polk Nadar opens his eyelids with his eyes wide open.

The expression is sure of the Empire's generous support.

But...

"No, you shouldn't."

"Huh!? Why on earth!?

"In this battle, the Empire decided not to send reinforcements."

Pork Nadar hits the dock with both hands, pointing to the cold reality.

The face of furious anger came towards me.

Then, I ate bubbles from the edge of my mouth.

"How could that happen!If the Empire sends reinforcements here, we can surely defeat the Selans!?Why did the Empire want to wipe out such a great opportunity!?

"Count, as it stands, the Empire does not intend to contest the kingdom.Now that we already have two fronts in the north, any further expansion of those fronts could be a stranglehold on our necks. "

"That's why you abandoned me!Does the General know how far I've crossed a dangerous bridge for the Empire!?

"Sure."

Bye!

"Count, this has already been decided.I can't override the Emperor's orders without being a general. "

"Ugh, ugh... that's it..."

Polk Nadar moans like a crushed frog and holds his head.

"But don't get me wrong.The Empire will not abandon you.I'm prepared to pay for my subordination to the Empire. "

"It won't make sense unless we win the war!

"Then you will win.You can take Seiran's head off as planned.If that were possible, the Empire would be prepared to welcome you as a Count.Besides, just because the Empire can't send troops doesn't mean I won't cooperate. "

The good news for Polk Nadar was that his blood colour was visibly better.

Then you exhale your distress with a big relief breath from your mouth.

"General... you're being mean."

"I'm sorry. But I think we should start with the bad news."

"So, how much reinforcements do we have?

"Part of the army... roughly 500."

"It's just... only 500!?General Grants should be in a position to lead more troops!Why so few!?

"Me and His Majesty the Emperor will take care of the soldiers.Certainly we can lead an army of ten thousand, but it is instructed from above.Not all of them are free to move.This is all we have.I want you to put up with this. "

"Ugh, ugh..."

As Polk Nadar turns his face red and black, his men turn their eyes to the Lord.

"Ah, Count... let's go?

"Kh... there's no way to get back to battle in the cage!Once the soldiers are ready, we're out!The only way to live is to open the way!My attendant, Bayle Eln!Hurry and get ready!

"Haha!

Polk Nadar's men quickly left the reception room after receiving instructions.

From now on, we will quickly build up an army and assemble troops.

The struggle is more than I can imagine.

If you do not do it, the LORD will destroy you, or you will be chained and bound.

He won't be able to do it either.

"However, it has never been known that the Crown Prince would raise an army without waiting for the King's instructions."

The voice of a young woman echoes almost simultaneously.

The smoke of a cigar that was drifting indoors like a haze sprayed as if nothing had happened.

Arias, the woman in the white mask, just appeared here.

A black outfit stood behind the Polk Nadar to remove the black color from the shadow of the corner.

It's as if you've been in this room for a long time.

Suddenly, Polk Nadar breathes surprisingly but immediately convincingly.

Lord Arias.

"Count, it's been a long time.I want you to forgive me for thinking that this is the ignorance of a lowlife. "

Hmm. Never mind.

A brief greeting is exchanged between Arias and Polk Nadar.

... when she showed up, she talked about the actions of Prince Seiran.

What Seiran is trying to build up an army is a transgression.

Regardless of the country, it is never permissible for royalties other than the King to collect soldiers or give orders to the lords.

Even if the king's son-in-law can raise an army without permission, there is a risk that the balance of power will just collapse or be rebelled.

This time, upon returning to Rustinel territory, Seiran immediately called for his return to the Lords.

I suppose it means beating Polk Nadar instantly without putting between them.

To do so before the king's command came to the lords would be to break the commandments.

"... sure.As Lord Arias is right, this action by Seyran will be tantamount to a rebellion against King Singh. "

"Then things will be easy.I hope you'll use it well. "

"From home and abroad, you want me to criticize Seiran for despising King Singh?

"Yes, would King Rhinol have to punish Seiran?

I suppose.

If King Singh overlooks this, King Rhinol's authority will be damaged.

After all, King Singh will be despised from home and abroad.

"- No, that's impossible."

But it was Polk Nadar, the nobleman of the kingdom, who objected to it.

"My lord, what does that mean?

"Hmm. Arias' contribution would have been possible so far.But things are a little different in Seilan. "

No?

"That's right. Seiran is positioned within the kingdom, but it is different from what was formerly the Crown Prince."

Pork Nadar's words are pinned down.

"Well then, Count. Is that true?

"Yes, it is."

Polk Nadar nods positively.

This is a story that has been rumored before.

The origin of Prince Seiran Crossell Road, Prince of Rhinol, has a big trick.

His authority goes beyond his father and current king, Sin Krocell Road.

But if that story is truthful, yes.

"If that's right, won't the soldiers gather with Seireans?Even though it has not yet been officially announced, do the lords recognize it as you do?

"No, this is the first time that I've had the right to gather soldiers in Ceylon.Some will want to see what happens without the King's instructions.Unlike the Empire, the kingdom is not well controlled around it, so the force on the lords is somewhat sweet.Of course, the position of Seireans is still unclear, so some opportunists will come out. "

Since the position of Seireans has not yet been clarified, the aristocracy who responded to the gathering may have despised the king.

There are not many people who fear it.

Polk Nadar explains so much that he raises one eyebrow as he notices.

"I don't think you're a general."

I see.

"... General Grants.If you know, please don't ask. "

"No, I just wanted to ask you about the Count.I wonder how the Count sees Seiran. "

It is known from previous accounts that Polk Nadar does not look too low on Seiran.

However, it is troublesome that you do not recognize the situation correctly.

If Polk Nadar is too stupid, this will not work.

This is a test story, but Polk Nadar doesn't seem to care much.

"General Grants. Reinforcements, please."

"I want you to expect that.Promise me you'll bring the best, the fewer. "

"Definitely. I'll do it for you."

Pork Nadar pressed caution and said, "I have to move too." He left the reception room.

As usual, only Arias and his men will be in the reception room.

The Servitors aren't accustomed to Arias' monstrosity, so they look nervous.

Eventually, Polk Nadar's footsteps were not heard from the hallway.

"... and yet, I was surprised.I thought Polk Nadar was the right person, but he was cautious. "

"As long as it looks like it, King Singh will also be at the border.I'm sure Polk Nadar is a greedy pig, but at least it's not vulgar. "

"Your Excellency appreciates Polk Nadar."

Somewhat head turning, but...

"But then, the King of Rhinol had no eyes to see.Because I put someone like Misusususususu in an important place. "

"No, you think you can betray me there.That's why neighboring lords didn't hesitate to act. "

King Rhinol, Cyril Crosel Road… In the days of the ancestral kings, a man who once reigned so much power in the Rhinole kingdom, overwhelmed by the Empire, could not have thought so much.For King Singh, Polk Nadar is a temporary jetty.Otherwise, they should be back in the center soon after the national traffic stabilizes.

... it feels a little pitiful that Polk Nadar has been sacrificed from both the Kingdom and the Empire.

"No, politics is deep.I had no choice but to be on the path of magic, and that kind of political subtlety is difficult for me. "

Arias announces such a thing, but I don't know what's going on inside.

Because the basic part can be said to be neglected.

But...

In the meantime, Arias dances down to his ear.

Soon after the Servitors moved, what kind of pipe was used?

And then...

- Your lust, General?

That's what they whispered.

…………

That would be about the reinforcements earlier.

We weren't supposed to send reinforcements, but we were supposed to have Polk Nadar cover everything.

That way, the Empire will have no pain and will be less likely to be suspected of involvement.

However, if we can remove the head of Seyran here, we can do a great deal of damage to the Kingdom.

That's why I applied to the Emperor.

I want permission to march.

That's why I do want it.

Arias pointed it out to me because he thought he would reach out and prepare reinforcements.

Yes, that's just it.
