Episode 125
##125
After all the battles, Count Pujeh’s reason began to come back little by little.
Should I say that I was excited because I had received the protection of the Tangle God and even fought in person?
‘It’s a monster… … .’
At first, I thought that someone might have taken advice from the staff.
By the way, I observed right next to it for quite a long time.
‘It’s real.’
It’s not like gifted or genius.
Not just a smart kid, he judged everything and made his own decisions.
All of the men he brought were sloppy looking, lacking something, but it was different in battle.
Should I say it’s too much for a count-level lord to have?
Moreover, their attitude was even more shocking.
Full acceptance and execution.
This means that I completely trust Ryan.
In other words, it means that the ability shown in this war has already been verified.
no. Judging from their attitude, it was highly likely that they would have done more.
‘Dangerous!!’
Lately, I started to feel fear of Lian.
My back tingles and I am sweating.
That single single smile and ‘I don’t know anything’ expression is even creepier.
“Wouldn’t you like to go play Count Marman?”
“that… It’s not… … .”
“Since he is the son-in-law of Deril, priority for the succession belongs to the family of Count Pougeh.”
“That means… … .”
“My sister will not have a concubine until she is 20 years old. Afterwards, even if the concubine gives birth to an heir first, the right to succeed Countess Marman still belongs to the main wife.”
“ah… … !”
This made me feel a little reassured.
It means to be relieved that the Count Leon family will take a step back, not the state.
“A collateral branch of Count Pougeh was born. Your son-in-law will protect you like a breakwater, so I will be strong. Count Pougeh.”
“that… I guess so.”
Saying that even if you eat Count Marman, you will not be subordinated to Count Leon.
Of course, it is true that the count automatically becomes independent because he cannot establish a master-servant relationship with the count, but the problem was that the family head of the family belonged to Lian.
However, he intends to release it himself.
Of course, they will be dependent in other ways, but… That alone would guarantee the safety of Count Fougeh’s family as a pretext.
“ruler. Shall we go leisurely then? Oh. I’ll have to take my sister too.”
At the moment of occupation, even for a cause, it was good to have Lian’s younger brother, who will be the new owner, with him.
* * *
Ingleson’s palace was in a commotion.
It’s because of what Ryan did.
“therefore… That stupid motherf*cker lost a lot in the war and asked for help?!”
“that… That’s right… … .”
King Ingleson’s voice was choked with anger.
A ploy of conversion to build a justification for fighting on land.
“With all my strength that I didn’t lose even if I fought with my asshole?!”
“that is… … .”
“It is said that Count Leon participated in the war.”
“Leon? I think I heard it somewhere… … .”
The King scratched his head.
When I asked him to explain the cause of his defeat in the war, an odd name came out.
“that. Recommended by the Admiral of the Navy… … .”
“okay. He used the prince of the Sinsenrom Empire to negotiate with the Thrang Empire!!”
“that… That’s right.”
Instead, he affirmed with a puzzled expression.
“no. Why is he out there?! Wasn’t he on our side? My mother’s family is an aristocrat of Airy Island… that… anywhere… … .”
“I am the Countess of Artrone. majesty.”
“okay! for a moment. Come to think of it, I heard that the old man was waiting to meet me… no. Rather, why did that bastard stick over there?”
The king was confused in his head.
“that is… I mentioned earlier that the head family is the county of Leon… … .”
“Is that a territory attached to a village corner again?”
“It’s not our realm, it’s the Duchy of Brittany… … .”
“what?!”
The king held his temple with a shocked expression for a moment.
And I’m lost in thought
“ah! Then, wasn’t our strategy a success?!”
In fact, winning or losing didn’t matter.
The important thing is that you need a geodeokji to expand the battle.
“that is… It is said that he participated as a member of the family. I didn’t take troops, but only accompanied by a few knights… … .”
“no. then. Because of only a few knights, that Count Marman was defeated in the war?”
The king made an absurd expression.
Of course, his kingdom also received help from Lian’s base, but he thought it was luck or limited to the sea.
“It’s not something to be taken lightly. Analysis by the Naval Headquarters suggests that the War Board itself may have been written by Count Leon.”
“Is that possible? No matter how new the ship was to participate in the war, it was only one ship?”
“It is presumed that he has a great staff.”
The king stroked his chin this time.
With that kind of ability, he would be compared to the legendary strategists and generals.
By the way, you’re barely attached to the young count?
“Then I must appease. It just went well. His maternal grandfather is in the capital?”
“yes. I had an audience from a long time ago… … .”
“no! Why didn’t you tell me about something so important?”
The king once again took offense.
“The construction is so busy… … .”
“but. I’ve been a little busy… … .”
I’m not lying, I was really busy. Compared to usual, that is.
It was to finance the war.
‘It’s not even possible in this country because of the parliament.’
It was a long struggle to get Congress to approve war funding.
In fact, both the people and the Congress wanted to end the war.
The country is reeling from the fact that the naval battle has already been waged.
Moreover, the king himself was very extravagant.
“My dignity maintenance cost has been cut in half!”
The King’s will to war was stubborn.
The members of the parliament could not break the will of the king.
“First of all, let the old man called Grandpa go into the palace.”
* * *
It’s been a while since Count Atronne left the estate.
When Leon returns, he must have an audience with the king, and he was working under him.
He brought his own money and made friends with the capital’s aristocrats.
“Rather than that, why is His Highness acting like that?”
“We have already lost a lot of national power due to naval battles. By the way, land battle!”
“really. Even the lawmakers who approved it are incompetent.”
“The king insists on doing it… what. Is there any way to stop it?”
Even today, Count Atrone is sitting quietly in the corner of a gathering of nobles.
Although he was a count and a mid-ranking grandmaster, he was just a village lord in front of the aristocrats in the capital.
“What do you think of Count Atronae? I heard that your grandson also made a contribution in this war.”
Lian’s performance has not been revealed in detail yet.
They were just nobles, so the knowledge was passed on from their connections in the navy.
“What do I know about the international situation? The nobles and His Highness here will take care of it.”
He swallowed his anger inwardly at the ignoring question and humbled himself.
Only with their help will Lian be able to receive a proper reward.
‘If the war doesn’t end… There would be no non-committal award… … .’
First of all, I hoped that my grandson, Rian, would come back soon.
For reference, they did not know that Lian became the son-in-law of the Sinsenrom Empire.
That would be because it was an island country and was pouring all its communication and information capabilities into the war.
“Count Artrone!! Are you there?!”
At that time, a person from the royal palace came to the meeting of nobles.
Not an official or a secretary, but an intelligence officer himself.
“no. If only he had given me a message that he was coming!!”
The power of the espionage was considerable.
All the nobles present here automatically stood up.
The work of the intelligence department was diverse, but among them, it was also monitoring the treason of nobles.
In addition, there were many nobles who were more afraid of the espionage than the king because they had secrets.
“I have business with Count Artrone.”
All eyes turned to Count Artrone.
Count Artrone’s face stung.
“I will ask you directly. Count Leon has become the son-in-law of the Sinsenrom Empire. Is this true?!”
To be honest, there was no such thing as confidential, so the espionage officer spat out in front of everyone.
I just couldn’t care, so the news of the Synsenrom Empire was not delivered to the Ingleson Kingdom.
“buy… Son-in-law?!”
It was only a few hours ago that the intelligence officer found out about this.
“okay. First of all, Your Highness wants to see Count Artrone.”
“that… Is that so?”
“You will have to prepare your mind.”
At those words, Count Artrone swallowed.
“They say Count Leon is pushing Count Marman.”
The news of Sinsenrom Empire is dark news, but the situation of Count Marman is delivered almost in real time.
It was because he was pouring all his information capacity into it.
“no… what is that?”
Not only Count Atronae, but other nobles all had dumbfounded faces.
A fact that everyone knows about the Marman family.
It is also an open secret that they provided strong support by building justifications to fuel the war.
With that level of power, a tolerable count’s family would be able to chew on it… … .
“You seem to know nothing. Let’s meet Her Highness first.”
So Count Artrone left for the palace following the espionage officer.
“What do you mean?”
“Suddenly, Count Artrone’s grandson… … .”
“ah!! is it so. You said your grandson was Count Leon, right?”
“What about the count? That you are just a claimant.”
“Anyway, something might happen that would interfere with the battle. A nobleman from Brittany.”
Then everyone seems to agree on something.
“Great. Great at such a young age.”
Then someone muttered.
Even if he was compared to his grandson, who only whines every day, the comparison was too much.
“Rather than that, the son-in-law of the Sinsenrom Empire… … .”
At that, everyone shut their mouths.
Because it’s likely just rumors.
If true, that’s really enviable.
Because the Habs family, which controls the Synsenrom Empire, is the best family in the Yul Continent.
“Ah~ It must be a rumor. Since the Sinsenrom Empire took the prince, it’s only natural to hear such speculative rumors.”
“It is. Your hands are precious. Still, he must have been treated well and came back.”
* * *
Not a single battle took place while Lian led his army to the Marman county.
In the first place, there were no forces left to resist.
Of course, there would be some defeated soldiers who escaped, but they did not return in fear.
“Come here! Dear brother~”
During the march, Lian’s brother joined them.
“Did you have a good time?”
“yes… older brother… … .”
Lian’s younger brother looked very intimidated because there were soldiers everywhere.
“ruler. come here.”
Ryan put his younger brother in front of his Auto Horse.
Actually, it was annoying, but it was for show.
From nob le mt l. com
Just in time, there were observers in the distance.
Toottt.
Ryan arrogantly drove the Auto Horse towards them.
I didn’t have any familiar faces, but I could roughly determine their nationality by their clothes.
The red series is Ingleson. The blue line is the Thrang Empire.
“nice to meet you. If you feel like doing it yourself. The sire of the Sinsenrom Empire. She is the sire of the kingdom of Ibel. I am Count Lian Leon, the Count of Copane, the de facto ruler of Count Rudeac, and the head of the Leon family.”
Upon hearing this, the observers felt dizzy.
In fact, it was not only the Ingleson Kingdom that wanted war, but also the Thrang Empire.
This is because the direct jurisdiction of King Ingleson, who has been working on the Thrang Empire, has been a thorn in the eye for a long time.
“that… I guess… But what happened here… … .”
“My younger brother is getting married this time. I’m here to arrange a coma. hehehe.”
At Lian’s words, everyone thought this was ruined.
The Countess of Maman is the entrance to the Duchy of Brittany.
The problem is the countries behind Ryan.
“ruler. then. See you next time.”
Without further discussion, Ryan hurried away with the Auto Horse.
Perhaps both countries will try to mediate.
‘I have to finish it before interfering.’
