650 – Patriotism (3)

Stavirk is a very important strategic point for the Minerva Empire. The characteristic itself of a peninsula eats and goes into a big way.

Furthermore, recently it was said that the naval power would be strengthened, so the value would rise many times more.

Therefore, the Empire will never give up on Starbirk. This is the sea that is expected to some extent.

Perhaps in the distant future, we will use a powerful navy to apply pressure or cause internal rifts.

The geographical feature of a peninsula has various merits, but on the contrary, there is no answer if it cannot protect the sea.

Chosun would have easily been occupied if Seong-woong and Yi Sun-sin had not existed during the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592.

Especially, at the time, Japan had just finished the Warring States period and was evaluated as having the strongest military power in East Asia.

If it had not been for Yi Sun-sin, Joseon and even the Ming Dynasty would have been on the brink of collapse, so it can be said to be a turning point in history.

“However, Starbirk is in fact almost united as a community. It may be divided by ideology, but not by ethnicity.”

Lina, who will head to Stabirk together in a few days, sipped her tea and brought up her explanation. She had already agreed with the imperial family and decided that I would follow her.

However, it is not an official participation. After all, if diplomatic issues were involved, there could have been some noise.

In the case of Terras Kingdom, it’s okay because we attacked from that side first. However, Starbirk has a rather complicated aspect.

It takes a long time since the Minerva Empire treated Starbirk as cold food. They treated the Starbirks as second-class citizens or something.

If you announce that I will follow you here, the image will not be good. This was dried on Lina’s side first.

“The reason my brother and I are going together is for independence and independence, but for some kind of negotiation.”

“Negotiation?”

“It means not to receive direct support from Terse Kingdom for at least a few decades. If a proper government is established, it will wander for the next few years.”

This is a very sharp negotiation. Currently, a provisional government has been established in Starbirk.

However, as is the case with the provisional government, it is difficult to exert absolute influence over the country.

If armed protests are added here, it is a rebel without need to explain. Even if a government is established, it will wander like Lina said.

Until now, we only worked hard for independence movement, but we did not actually manage state affairs. The immediate withdrawal of the garrison and lord caused great confusion.

“Looking at what you said only in the Kingdom of Terce, is there movement over there as well?”

“I can’t say that there is none at all. Queen Maria and Frederick Kukse aren’t easygoing people. There’s a high possibility that they’ve been in contact behind the scenes.”

It is said that the garrison troops were withdrawn, but it did not mean that the surveillance network was also withdrawn. There must have been several reports posted to the imperial family.

I raised a teacup in a more complex situation than I thought. The reason why the imperial family sent Leort and Lina at the same time was because it was a turning point.

Variables are also variables, and there are too many result values. If you don’t do it, infighting may break out in Starbirk, or it may flow peacefully.

‘Looking at how Mora told me to go unconditionally…’

But the goddess of peace, Mora, asked me this way. No matter what happens, go to Starbirque with Lina.

I don’t know why, but at the same time she accepted her request, she asked a question. What’s going on in Starbirk?

She replied that she couldn’t properly inform her because the future was too big and fluctuating. Instead, the world might be engulfed in a massive fiery fire, she said.

‘If you consider that…’

I stared at Lina as I drank her tea. Judging from Mora’s reaction, it must mean that Leort and Lina are in great danger in Starbirk.

Sometimes the Minerva Empire treated Starbirk coldly, and there was also a case where Starbirk itself became more nationalistic.

Considering this, it is unlikely that there are people who have distorted patriotism. That makes sense.

“Lina.”

“Huh?”

“You know it’s dangerous, right?”

So I asked. Did Lina know all this and go herself?

She gave me a subtle smile at my question and quietly put the teacup down.

She then rested her chin with her hands and opened her mouth with an unmistakably charming smile.

“You thought you wouldn’t know?”

As expected. She nodded her head in response as expected.

The imperial family must have fully expected it. There is a very high chance of an accident in Starbirk.

If an accident occurs in Starbirk, the cause can be taken as it is, and even if it is not, just negotiate and it will be over.

“Are you okay?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be accompanied by the guards, and I’ll be prepared for any sniping. I’ll have to match the specially made clothes.”

If that’s the case, I’ll be fine. Assassination in this world is, at best, a surprise attack at night.

As in Sarajevo, the starting point of World War I, it is virtually impossible to assassinate in broad daylight.

First of all, there are almost no weapons other than a dagger that can be hidden in one’s arms. A situation where guns were not even invented, let alone pistols.

It’s difficult to snip from a distance, so I’m going to look for places where I can snip. Therefore, the chances of being assassinated in broad daylight are remarkably low.

“I don’t know why Mora-sama recommended you to go unconditionally, but it’s safe to say there’s almost no element of anxiety. You’re not going to stay there overnight.”

“What about the bombing? It could be bigger than you expect.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. If I see any sign of that, I’m going back right away. I’ll keep the cause as it is.”

I’m glad. I’m not going to force it blindly like the Sarajevo incident.

The Sarajevo Incident was an incident that happened because coincidence coincidence coincidence coincidence overlapped.

With the crown prince’s stubbornness mixed in, it’s safe to say it’s fate. Because the fate of the world was twisted starting from that incident.

That’s why I became more curious. What the hell does Mora mean by the future?

I want to follow you even if I am curious. Of course, the top priority is Lina’s safety.

“But be careful. I’m just nervous.”

“Oh, are you already worried about your future concubine? Are you happy about this?”

Lina laughs mischievously, covering her mouth discreetly. I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight.

Even in the Empire, there won’t be as big an incident as Dandan is preparing. Still, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Because they must be missing something. Even if a surveillance network is installed, it cannot be said that it is perfect.

“Anyway, how should I go? Shall I disguise myself?”

“If you’re going to go with me, you’ll have to dress up. You’ll think it’s you with only one red hair, right?”

The world calls me this way these days. A red-haired saint.

It is a title that expresses a person as it is, so it is both absurd and embarrassing.

“How can I get that energy before then?”

“What energy?”

“Just looking at it makes me want to kneel. You know I’m barely holding it in, right?”

Lina seems to be going through similar feelings as everyone else. Little by little, her face turned red.

At first, I couldn’t do it, but I have my own way. Covering the face and body.

To be precise, you should avoid clothes that reveal your body as much as possible. Then the effect is greatly reduced.

It is a very easy and simple way to say that since you have obtained a healthy body, you just have to cover it.

“Yes. Just cover your face and body. If that doesn’t work, use a perception-disabling magic.”

“I’ll choose the latter. Wearing thick armor for no reason will only attract attention.”

“Aren’t the attendants wearing armor?”

“Why wear armor when you should wear a uniform?”

Through this and that opinion, the day to head to Starbirque arrived. It was decided that I would disguise myself as an attendant.

As it is not an official announcement, very few people will know that I am going. Only the people around you will know.

‘Something is about to happen.’

I could guarantee this.

“There’s no need for you to step out. The other guards will take care of everything. OK?”

“What if I step out?”

“Well…”

When asked in a joking manner, Rina fell into thought for a moment. I’m leaving when the worst of the worst happens.

She stared at my face to see if she knew it, then she replied with her characteristic elegant smile.

“I might really fall for you.”

*****

Around the time when preparations were in full swing on the side of the Minerva Empire.

Stabirk was also busy with the visit of a state guest. As expected, the prince and princess of the empire visit at the same time.

From noble mtl dot com

No matter how strong the anti-imperialist tendencies are, Stavirk is a state guest. She didn’t know what kind of damage she would get if she behaved arrogantly.

Moreover, Starbirk was already aware of the meaning of the two visiting. In other words, independence has reached right in front of our eyes.

Therefore, there was a prevailing public opinion that people should be treated as guests even if they did not receive a strong welcome. Even so, the perception of the two themselves is on the better side.

“Surely I warned you. Don’t do anything stupid.”

While Stabirk was busy, Asala was confronting a man.

He had the characteristic bronze skin and silver eyes of Star Birk, and his hair was gray.

An ordinary man with a gentle look like a sheep and a messy beard. Instead, the man’s age seemed younger than Assala.

Zach, a young man who has finally escaped his youthful appearance, made a calm expression for a while at Asala’s warning, then answered quietly.

“Asala-sama.”

“Tell me.”

“Asala said. The Empire is ready to take Starbirk at any time. We must unite to stop it.”

“··· ···”

Yes. I said so. Asala hardened his impression.

This is what I shouted during the independence movement. It was quite effective at the time when the discrimination of the empire was at its peak.

However, as time passed, the situation changed drastically. The empire took the growing pains of the Great Depression to rise one step further and its cultural power became stronger.

If things go on like this, becoming the loser of the world is a natural step. Passion is good, but it was also necessary to face reality.

“Why is the one who taught that now denying himself? I don’t understand.”

“The tide has turned. Too soon. We must hurry and tie the knot before the Empire changes its words.”

“Did you say it was a knot? Right now, our nation is on the verge of division? Why did you change your mind, why!”

Zach, who seemed docile, crumpled his expression and shouted out loud. Seeing Asala’s reaction, his heart tightened.

If it had been in the past, I would have been happy to see this reaction. The young man full of passion reminded me of his past self.

But passion always causes accidents. Fortunately, he was able to cool his passion thanks to the wise man, not Jacques.

Radical, extreme, dangerous. He seemed to know why the sage had told him to ‘remove’ rather than persuading.

‘·······That can’t be.’

You can never remove it. A person who devoted himself to independence eliminates his own people who have fallen into extremism. What a deplorable story this is.

In the end, Asala had no choice but to give up both persuasion and elimination. By all means, hoping that the words of the sage would go as far as this time.

“We all know what you’re up to. The Empire knows. So give it up.”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

Boom!

Zach sneered and slammed the door shut. It was quite rude, but Asala said nothing.

Because we’ve already taken all the measures. All of Zach’s weapons have been confiscated.

Therefore, he has no weapons. Even the ‘gun’ whose development was almost completed.

‘I’m sure this will make you feel better.’

Asala sighed inwardly and returned to her seat. Please, I hope nothing happens.

In the meantime, Zach returned to his workshop. As he was the person in charge of gun development, he also had a private workshop.

Of course, all weapons have been confiscated. My teeth trembled at the thought of that.

‘But it doesn’t matter.’

Zach’s silver eyes stood out. Then, after making sure that no one was nearby, he started searching every nook and cranny of the workshop.

A leather pouch hanging on the wall, starting with the drawer. Wood on doorknobs and shelves, etc. On the outside, I brought things that were no different from junk.

After that, I put the junk things neatly on the table in the workshop. Now, there is only one thing left, ‘assembly’.

‘Even one shot is fine. If only I could imitate the power.’

The Stabirks are a people with excellent dexterity. Zach began assembling slowly with his dexterity, which he had steadily trained.

He didn’t forget to look around.

Clap-

It has finally been completed. He was good at keeping spare parts scattered all over the place, just in case.

Zach looked around at the crudely completed ‘pistol’. It’s a gun that’s small enough to hide in your bosom.

There are also lead bullets, and gunpowder can be obtained elsewhere. Since he already knew the principle, it was possible to manufacture a pistol, albeit crudely.

It’s tomorrow. Tomorrow, the prince and the princess siblings will visit Starbirk in person.

And those who are right, including himself, will attack them.

‘With this one foot…’

You will be able to change the fate of the world. Zach swallowed and murmured softly.

“Long live Starbirk.”
