It's been a long time since I've seen you in Nambonan City.

"It's been a long time, Viscount Galiana."

Separating the conversation with Count Nongait, I called out to the Galiana family.

After a brief greeting, the conversation quickly shifted to chatting without even starting a conversation. This old man is a healing old man.

Fufu, next to Viscount Galliana with an unstoppable smile, was Princess Torch snugly attached.

“My father told me that he officially married Princess Torch. Congratulations."

"Yes, thank goodness. This is also thanks to Lord Wilk. Hahaha"

I'm crushing Operation Fangs, Operation Chin, and then the Spiazek army. It seems that the Galiana family captured the area very heavily. Not only Galiana's bloodline, but also the Knights of Galiana have spoken out in support of Queldenze's policy. This is a major change considering the emphasis that Atelahan has placed on it for a long time.

At this moment, Viscount Galiana made the decision to take Torch as his wife-in-law.

The torch was originally a princess of Galiana's collateral relatives, but after Operation Fang, she entered the main house of Galiana in the form of the current owner's adopted daughter. It replaces Dean Rishi, who was stripped of his position in the next term due to a counter-insurgency.

Until now, she was not a proper wife. Officially, it's just the Galiana family. It can also be said that it leaves room for an alternative excuse because it shows the attitude of leaning against Atelahan rather than Qualdentze. To be clear, there's only room below the cat's forehead, but the Galianas couldn't give up.

Nevertheless, it seems that Torch's decision was accepted without any particular confusion. The effect of Operation Chin was that it had such an impact that it blew up the protective body of the genuine Galiana family.

By the way, Viscount Galiana was holding the torch regardless of the couple, but this is not particularly problematic.

Even if she were pregnant, she said, "I don't know, but it seems that Princess Torch is pregnant. That's strange. I don't know about that, but I gave it a try. Wonderful. But if you're the son of Princess Torch and his ancestor, there's nothing wrong with his genealogy. I'm glad to hear it." It is clear to every man that he is the seed of Viscount Galiana, but there is no one deep in it. It's an open secret.

Strangely enough, a child of the noble family's genealogy appears from time to time. There were various circumstances, such as bringing a child of collateral relatives, using a child of blessing, or mating in connection with the pride of an aristocratic girl. Since no noble family has published the exact number of main ancestors, I do not know what will happen, and I do not say that the surroundings are wild just because it involves reproduction.

In any case, Galiana Milord was able to enter the Galiana family in good faith.

"... I don't want you to get along with my family in the future, Master Wilk..."

Unsurprisingly, the talking torch was leaning against Viscount Galiana with a seemingly bland expression. I don't think it's a performance to appeal to the intimacy of the couple. Somehow, it only seemed to be surrounded by nature.

“Of course, that's what my Quordenze wants.”

The torch is strangely colourful. She has a female face. Even in King's Landing, she must be cuddly in bed every night.

Nevertheless, the torch I saw from this old man shouldn't be too trustworthy. You're not killing my family like I am, but there's no such thing as a zero chance of being assassinated.

Nonetheless, it's too masculine to cuddle every night. Isn't that curious breeding spirit the highest class in the world of uncle breeding?

Viscount Galiana interrupted with a smile as he chatted with Galiana Milord, but also with the Galiana family, perhaps mixed with such a claim.

By the way, is the food procurement going well?

It was behind the scenes on Operation Jaw.

I don't want to buy a grudge from the Spiazek people for excessive local procurement because I cheated the Voistra Liberation Army. I'm giving instructions to the Late Departing Forces to carry more and more food from the hinterland into the Voistra Plains. I don't mind distributing the surplus to the local residents for free, so I want you to send it anyway. Even if I had withdrawn, I would have been able to stir up dissatisfaction with the Spiazek family and increase the number of informants.

After the fall of Otheloria, I asked my father for help and gradually sent me food to contain the chaos. If the war comes to an end, the military costs will be somewhat higher. I asked you to use that money to procure food until the process of annexing the territory began.

"Yes, the Nambonan people worked hard."

The first to respond to this request was the Numbonan merchant.

The Quoldenze say they pay for it, so if you buy it, you can make money. In order not to miss this opportunity, they gathered food from various places and brought it to the Voistra Plains.

As a result, a surprisingly large amount of food was delivered over the admiration that "I collected this often in a short period of time."

"It's like that. It seems to be moving around energetically."

Viscount Galiana has many eyes and ears in the civilian neighborhood. The accuracy of the spider's web of information was high. It must have been easy to see that the Numbonan merchants had begun to move to secure food.

"Thanks to this, the city of Vaardberg, which has become a relay area, seems to be overflowing with bags of wheat brought in."

That's interesting. I wonder if Wilk was the one who came up with it?

Yeah, well.

The Spiazek people are not suffering from starvation, but the objective fact that there is "food surplus" is reassuring. At least you felt that your reserves were unlikely to be taken away by the Quoldenze army.

Explaining the aim, Viscount Galiana nodded several times with interest.

"I think this is a Wilk-like idea that wants the peace of the territory and the people of the territory. If there's food left in a visible way, I'll be relieved. I thought it would be a good idea to quickly grasp the hearts of the people who were confused by the sudden chaos.... but, well, with that, the wheat seems to be soaring."

Kuordenze has a vast barn area, and its production volume is one of the highest in the continent. Of course, if we spare no effort to collect the wheat, the market price will rise.

By the way, the Spiazeiks say don't disrupt the territory before the truce, don't starve the people, don't export food. And while Operation Chin is timed to run from summer to autumn, this coincides with the harvest time of wheat in the Voistra Plains. In other words, the new wheat harvested this year is hardly outside the territory. It was natural that the value of wheat should rise.

"That's because a lot of people have already moved."

In a letter from the room-on, Viscount Galiana instantly boarded Quordenze's movements and used her children's merchants to buy food from all over the continent. This is exactly what Min looks like when he sees the machine. Soaring is not my fault.

“In addition, we hear that crops are not producing well in some areas this year. I'm sure your influence will be great, too."

"I guess so. Even in the south, we should have anticipated a certain amount of crop failure beforehand." But you wouldn't have thought that the value would go up this much during this time. "

As had been predicted before, crops were ruined in the south of the continent. In that situation, the market must have been very difficult because Nambonan merchants and Galiana merchants bought and scrapped the wheat from the east and west of the continent.

“Without food in the south, the Free Cities will face unprecedented hardships, and the fighting between the nobles will definitely intensify.... what do you think of Lord Wilk?"

I'm glad I was born in the realm of Qualdentze. Whether you're a lord or a folk, I don't want you to fight for food in such a hiccup region.

And I can't help but say such a frank impression.

The point is that the Quoldenze family is indirectly hunting down free cities. Paradoxically, the Quoldenze now have a very strong initiative in terms of food control.

It's only natural to think about it. Considering that the House of Spiazeke is under the influence of the House of Koldenze, it is like having two of the most important barns on the continent, the Lidea Plain and the Voistra Plain, under their control.

I see, I understand what Viscount Galiana wants to say.

"... I thought the economic power of the central part of the continent was much greater than I had imagined."

In short, I could say that I was unconsciously attacking free cities with a new economic sanction. That's a great story.

There are also officials of the Nongait family around who can hear, so I can't talk much about the noise, but it seems that it was passed on to Viscount Galiana. Fufufufu, laughing amusedly.

"The Zeldomitra family will be happy with this opportunity."

This old man is probably suggesting that we take advantage of this circumstance, that we sell our debt. “The Quordenze family has imposed a food export ban on behalf of the Zeldomitra family,” he said.

The Zeldomitra family intends to invade the independent nobility houses of the Free City Group. If they're going to crush each other, they'll welcome you with a show of hands. I'm sure you'll appreciate the support of the House of Qualdenze.

If the impact of the food crisis is greater than I imagined, it would be great if the Zeldomitra family could put their weight on the advance to the south. If we're going to have an invasion war, we'll want to avoid any trouble on the kingdom's side, and we'll want to keep our relationship good. That's all that makes Koldenze safe.

There are concerns that Zeldomitra will become enormous, but it will take a lot of time to heal even after annexing the land that became exhausted and borocas due to the war. Koldenze, who had consumed the Voistra plain with plenty of flavor, was overwhelmingly quick to recover.

I would like to eliminate the risks as much as possible in the face of the great project of annexation of the territory of Špiazek. If you have a chance to side with one of the Kingdom's Five Nobles, you should make the most of it.

“As indicated in the preamble to the peace treaty, I want to act first and foremost to ensure the peace and tranquillity of the territory and its inhabitants. And in order to realize that, it is important not to let out the hungry first. Food security cannot be neglected at a time when famine in the south is a concern.”

With this reasoning, the Spiazeke family can also be prohibited from exporting food outside the territory. It is very difficult to continue it in the future, but this year or next year after the defeat, we will be able to put pressure without any problems.

“I think that's a really good idea. The Marquis will also support that philosophy."

The Marquis is probably talking about the Marquis of Zeldomitra, not our father.

The ban on the export of food outside its territory is a result derived from the principles of the peace treaty. In other words, welcoming the embargo against the Free City Group is synonymous with endorsing the peace between the Kuordenze and the Spiaszek families. I had a pretty strong hand in mind.

My Galiana will not hesitate to help you if you can.

The Galiana family can make money by reselling the food they have embraced, but they can participate in the embargo at the request of Qualdenze. He is a sloppy old man.

And he said, "What about my father?"

Nothing yet. I've come up with something here, so you can talk to me from Lord Wilk.

I dared to speak here for the purpose of showing the Nongites the relationship between the Quoldenze and the Gallianas. He showed his skill at the signing ceremony.

And then there's the part where I thought maybe I'd understand it faster. Because it's a bit tricky from a noble point of view to take advantage of merchants or use civilians for cause.

However, the actual content is to use the free city and county as bait to ensure the safety of the Qoldenze family. If I explain it properly, my father will understand it immediately.

“Okay, I'll let you know.”

I thought Viscount Galiana's proposal merited consideration. I feel only a little sympathy for the free cities that will suffer for our interests.

Nevertheless, the suffering lasts because the little nobility is at war forever and ever. Such an aristocrat would be happier for his people to perish, and his life would be less lost in the long run. The humanitarian spectacle is unavoidable.

Or perhaps the nobility of the South will accuse you of the embargo, but that is a misconception. Bad thing is, I can't even protect my own people.

In Japan, the word was to send salt to the enemy, but the Free City group was neither an ally nor an enemy to the Quoldenze family. In other words, there is no need to send salt.

Okay, there's nothing wrong with that.
