We are staying in a noble monastery right next to the imperial palace. Beautiful gardens and an old-fashioned mansion structure were impressive, as the interior was covered with all kinds of firestorm wallpapers and precious and diverse ornaments that had been airborne around the world.

Armida's sister said as though she had regretted entering the door of the mansion.

“But the Grand Duchess is here, and the emperor doesn't come to meet her? ”

“I have a face to face with the Emperor, how do I get out? And you can't come out even if you don't face down. There's a political issue at work here. ”

Armida's sister tilted her head in my words.

“What?"

“The Yosrahim Empire is the lord of the forces of light, but there's not a lot of yin in it, is there? ”

“That's right."

“If a political signal is sent wrong here, the other Light Nations are concerned. Isn't the Yosrahim Empire turning into a Yin Yang doctrine? Then the bond between the forces of light will be shaken. ”

Armida sighs briefly.

“Hmm. Humans live complicated lives. ”

“The Valkyries are no match for us. ”

“We what? ”

I looked at Armida with a gentle gaze. After living in Kronos for a long time, she still doesn't know what's going on.

But not bad. If Armida had been in that line, my stomach would have burst.

“Yes, we have to live like sisters. ”

“I'm what? ”

“Life itself is peaceful. ”

“Are you kidding me?”

“It's a compliment that will never happen again. ”

And I grabbed a room and went inside.

The room I chose was a large room that overlooked the lawn behind the first floor of the building. Although it was narrow compared to other rooms, I liked sneaking out. It's right outside the fence.

After a while, I ate dinner and started preparing for the evening excursion.

* * *

“It hasn't changed. ”

I am too familiar with the way of the Imperial Paths. Flanked restaurants and taverns. When I was in school, I remember sneaking out of school with my friends and drinking shakes like yesterday.

Soon I entered a nearby high-end tavern.

“He can't come in! ”

I was waterlogged by the waiters in front of the entrance. This is a high-class bar frequented by nobles, so I was not allowed in, dressed as a swallow on an African wig.

After a long time like this, I heard a man's voice from the inside.

“Come in. He's my guest. ”

Baron Ruto. He says the conquered ruler is in trouble.

“Baron, if you'll excuse me to another nobleman. ”

“No, it's an honor. ”

“Yes?”

“That's the White Face. ”

Many of the guests looked at me. Armed nobles and faithful nobles. I had two saint girls in love, and I was the only hero to defeat Master Bastein.

“Oh, yes · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Immediately, I followed the baron Luto on his way into the quiet room. It seemed like a good place to talk because it was confined everywhere. Soon after I sat down, a drink and a drink came in.

“I don't know if you like it. ”

Seeing the plentiful dining table, I stumped my head.

“I don't care about Jill. We need lots of them."

“Well, that's a relief. ”

I leaned comfortably against the backrest and looked at Baron Ruto.

“Let's get down to business then. What's the deadline? ”

“Three days before the Grand Duchess came to visit Car territory. ”

Then it will be exactly ten days later.

“This won't cancel the visit of the saint girl? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Who the fuck do you think he is? There will be a big talk within the territory, but Shura's visit could not have gone well.

“Fine. Then tell me who they're going to help me with. I don't know his face. I need someone to guide me. ”

“Sir Roland. ”

I had my eyes crossed. Roland was in charge of escorting me to my noble school. He was silent and loyal, but he seemed a little strange to be involved in this.

“Roland?”

“A knight brought near the Grand Duke of Jan, who was killed in the war in place of Divinum. ”

“But?”

“I understand that after the death of Grand Duke Jan, he has been excluded from the territory and has had a lot of complaints. ”

“Is it? Is it reliable? ”

“Yes, I am very enthusiastic about this. ”

I bumped into the baron for a drink.

“Okay, okay. By the way, what's the real purpose of this? What do you gain by defeating Birch Brian? ”

“Do you really want to know? ”

“I wish I could tell you. I'm on a quest, but my back is so lame. Are you sure you don't want someone else to die or something? ”

“I don't know. Probably not on that day. Of course, no one will ever be famous for you. ”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I'll bet my life on it. ”

I chewed the meat well seasoned and cut it off in front of my mouth.

“Good. Now tell me what to do when you're done. ”

“You can go to Earl Aubrey's mansion. ”

I stopped raising my drinking hand. Earl Aubrey is one of my little fathers. I was third in the Grand Duke's succession, but I was second in my death the other day. That is, if Joseph dies, the next Grand Duke will be him.

It is a drawing that is too bright. If I defeat Birch Brian, someone will kill Josef, and his younger father will succeed the House of Car someday. Pretending is a clean story.

“How am I supposed to get home to the Earl? ”

“Lord Roland will guide you well. ”

“Really? And then what? ”

“The erl will finish well. ”

“Hmm. Not bad. ”

“Yes. I trust you, then. ”

I reached out my hand as I drank.

“First, I have to pay for the quest, right? Our excitement shop always pays upfront for a bad quest. ”

“Yes, I have prepared otherwise. ”

Baron Ruto pulls out his sub-space pocket and spills out the gold coins. The commission was for 6,000 leaf gold. I counted each and every one of them, and I took good care of them.

“Oh, I have one more question. ”

“Yes, go ahead. ”

“I heard there was another master in Karl's territory by the wind. Who was it? I heard it was the Duke's swordsmanship teacher. ”

“Oh, you mean Earl Meier. ”

“Yes, Earl Meier. He's not gonna be a variable on this one, is he? ”

Baron Ruto waves his hand.

“Don't worry about him. Immediately after that last year, he dedicates the sachet to His Holiness King Karl and lives on a chip. ”

“Why? Did you fall? ”

“No, Grand Duke Carr is eager for the Earl to return. Earl Meier is the force of Karl's territory. ”

I smiled, Pic.

Well, he couldn't have kicked Earl Meier out. Not many people are as loyal as the Earl after leaving his wisdom. He was an intermediate master here, a general commander in command of all troops in the Ka 'Ka territory, and the only one in the Josrahim Empire who trusted Ka as a nobleman of the territory.

With Earl Meier by his side, he was able to gain the trust of the Yosrahim Empire at the same time, with a powerful force.

Earl Meier is a nobleman of the original Yosrahim bloodline.

“Got it.”

The conversation with Earl Ruto is over soon. I didn't meet her to drink anyway, and I didn't have a hobby of drinking with men all night.

Besides, I had to meet my uncle yesterday. I couldn't tolerate any mistakes, so I'd better go to bed early today.

* * *

But will it work as planned? ’

I thought, walking through the streets of the Imperial City again. This job is so clean and easy to understand. Uncle who seeks the Grand Duke and the existing Central Forces excluded from my death hold hands and turn the tide? It's very simple and conforming.

The problem is his father, Duke Carr.

I'm sure my father doesn't know about this kind of neat development, but I don't know what he's doing.

My father used to know every detail of my day just like he did. I took over the territory, but I couldn't manage it on my own. In other words, a machine that signs like a puppet. Anyway, if there was anything dangerous about power, my father kept it in his hands.

But his uncle, Joseph's biggest threat, was involved. I'm sure we have a situation. My uncle, the emperor, is working, so I won't take the lead, but I'm sure he's working on something.

“Phew. This plan will fail 100%. ”

“Maybe so. Duke Carr is not so greedy. ”

I close my eyes with the old man's voice, rebutting to myself. Oh, it's the old man. Old Cloud. I walked by pretending I didn't hear it.

Soon, Cloud, a plain looking old man, walks out from the distance in front of you with his backpack. I dodged the grandfather as I diverted to the natural course of action.

Grandpa Cloud has been chasing me.

“You're interfering in something interesting. ”

Apparently, he overheard a conversation with Earl Ruto. He was the one who hated this old man's stalker, and today he was doing it himself.

I turned around with an annoying face.

“Hey, old man. Let's pretend we don't know each other. ”

“I'm worried about you. Duke Carr is a very dangerous man. ”

“I know.”

“Then why are you getting involved in this fight? ”

I tapped the subspace pocket in my pocket.

“You got paid. Six thousand reefs. And all I have to do is subdue Birch Brian. It's very simple. ”

The Duke of Cloud's jaw twists.

“That's even weirder. It's better to kill as Emperor or as an evil tycoon, so why do you want to make life difficult for him? ”

“What about him? ”

“Bird Brian is sitting next to the Duke of Karl and his mistress Helen, injecting a strange thought. Like rebellion against the Empire. ”

I grabbed her by the hand. I knew you'd get into trouble one day, Birkhoff. No matter how hard you try, you have to be careful. It looks like Josef and Helen are having fun on their backs.

Fortunately, when Earl Meier and I were together, it was under control, but now that they're both gone, it's like we've met all over the world.

“There's nothing for you to do. I'm interested in the world's most trivial affairs. ”

“Karl's territory is a great threat to the empire. It's a pain in the ass when I get up. ”

That's right. Cars are weak, but they pose a great threat to the Empire. If Karl's territory joins hands with the Orcs and declares independence, the empire will be in an awkward position.

The Great Wall of Materia is impervious to Orcs all at once.

Besides, Cars' territory is adjacent to Orc Meadows, so it's very good to work with Orcs and support them.

“So what are you going to do? ”

“Birch Brian must be making excuses, and sweeping them off the road shouldn't be too bad anyway. If my back head tickles, there will be many difficulties in war. ”

Around next year, the Yosrahim Empire and the Orcs will have a big clash. So in his past life, Karl's territory was destroyed by an Orc army led by Grolmog, and in his present life, Grandpa Cloud would have destroyed him.

However, it is a very troublesome territory. If you don't hit it here, you hit it there.

“Don't. You can rest assured of the car's territory. There's Duke Carr. ”

“That's why I'm more anxious. He's a complete stranger. ”

“But he's not a traitor to the Empire. ”

“How can you be sure of that? ”

“It's a hunch. ”

The answer was I took an urgent step.

Now I know why my father just stood by and watched this happen. The Empire and Old Cloud are after Car's territory. As a father, I couldn't help but remove the Independents next to Joseph and Helen.

Old Cloud still followed me.

“Anyway, that's done, let's talk about something else. ”

“What?"

“How old are you this year? ”

“Thirty-one. ”

“Yes? But how did you become a master of the upper class? ”

I gripped my teeth. I must have looked at Manawa in this old man's body. I was currently perceived to be an intermediate master in the division.

“I ate a lot, so I grew up fast. ”

“Hmm. You don't want to answer, to be honest. ”

“I wish I knew. Well done.”

I hung up on him, but he chased me to the end.

“By the way, how did you wake up my mental attack before? It's because I'm surprised that this has never happened before. ”

“I'm used to it. I wish I'd had another mental attack." ”

“Hoho. Are you familiar with death and fear enough to overcome my mental attacks? I guess it wasn't a very happy life. ”

“Don't tell me. Grandpa doesn't understand. ”

“No, you might understand. Maybe we're on the same side. ”

I stared at old man Ziggy Cloud.

“I'll never understand. Do you think the only guy who can do that is getting ready to play war like a bunch of kids? You must have played with your pretty new grandmother. When Grolmog had to put up a good fight, I didn't know what to do. Tsk, tsk, tsk. ”

“That's because you don't know the situation. Because I want to start a war? I can't help it. ”

“Grandpa, don't be a pussy. Bad things can be good things, good things can be bad things. Grandpa says it's for the Empire, but it could end up destroying it. ”

“Do I look like I'm going to lose to Grolmogh? ”

I rolled my feet annoyed.

“What have you heard so far? You can't win. Winning is losing. Oh, my gosh."

“Huh?"

“Oh, I don't know. You should go. I have to go inside now. ”

When I arrived in front of my residence, I swooped over the wall. I thought that guy was an exceptional doggody, but I don't know where he learns stalker hobbies and bothers people.

Perhaps it was time to die that people changed.
