Episode 50

Illion, of course, made a surprised expression.
At the same time, I couldn’t hide my excitement.
“What?! Didn’t you say something like that before? … .”
You may have wondered.
Then, of course, wouldn’t it have been better to give it to yourself instead of giving it to the second guy?
“I can’t help it. Because the new Marquess of Airy Island is more important than love.”
Right now, there is only one count on Airy Island.
In other words, to become a marquis means to be like a king.
“The key is the merger of our Atronae family, which has a strong geographical advantage and strength, and the Der (Dublin) family, which serves as the entrance to Eili Island.”
It can be established only when the chieftains marry each other.
“Instead, if you just let Lady Julia know that you are the successor!!”
“okay. yes! If Grandpa is away, I’ll take this opportunity to educate my little brother! Who is the true successor of this land?”
Ryan nodded.
I was drinking kimchi soup properly.
However, that is weak.
You have to develop the fight as much as possible.
“By the way, my clever little brother might have similar thoughts.”
“hmm?!”
“Little brother will surely attract his maternal family, the Countess of Thomond.”
The county of Thomond is a county that faces the border to the lower left of Atrone.
“I wish I could go that far… … !”
After thinking for a while, the first Illion frowned.
After thinking about the character of Gom Gom, I changed my mind.
“but. He is the one who will remain. He’s been a nasty guy since childhood. Same with this potato case.”
“that’s right. The second older brother is a person who does not choose any means or methods for a purpose.”
“Then how do you talk?”
To the frustrated Illion, Lian presented a very good solution.
“Can’t you do the same for your older brother?”
“huh?!”
“Ask your eldest brother’s maternal family, Count Oslager, for help.”
The Counts of Oslager are counts facing the border on the lower right, as opposed to the Counts of Thomond.
The maternal families of the two heirs of the Countess of Artrone coincidentally run into each other under the border.
So, traditionally, we didn’t get along well.
… … … [Count Artrone]
[Count Thomond] [Count Oslager]
The three countries shared borders like Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.
“If foreign powers are brought in, a civil war might break out… … .”
What Lian wants is a civil war, not a civil war.
“There is a way. Albezal Fortress! Hand it over to Count Oslager.”
“what?!”
“If you hand it over, the Oslager family will keep you in check so that the Thomond family doesn’t come over. Then the older brother can beat the younger brother without the influence of outside forces.”
The first Illion is taken aback by Lian’s words.
“What did that mean!! It is a military hub.”
Of course.
A heavenly fortress located where the three territories meet.
A long time ago, even before the High King unified Airi Island, the families in this area fought and shed countless blood to occupy the fortress.
“Eh. big brother Have a big distribution!”
“What does distribution have to do with passing such a strategic point?”
“Anyway, if my eldest brother becomes a marquis, the county of Oslager will naturally be incorporated as a vassal. It’s not like the owner of the fort is changing.”
I heard it and it was true.
Entrusting the fortress to a subordinate family.
Anyway, even now, a baron was in charge of the fortress.
“good! I need to send a letter right now.”
“You are also upset. Big Brother!”
“hahahahaha. okay. Liana. It has grown so much that you have helped me so much.”
First, Illion laughed out loud and left Lian’s room.
It looks very cheery.
smart!!
And not long after, the second came.
He must have been upset when he saw that the eldest came to see Lian.
Of course, I wouldn’t have been intimidated.
Putting aside the vice-captain, he saw Charlotte’s monstrous power.
“Rian! Could it be that you didn’t pass the handkerchief to your older brother?”
“Of course not. It’s really bigger than that.”
“no. what?!”
The second Gais tilted his head at Lian’s words.
“I think the older brother will bring in his mother’s family.”
“what?! I hope so… … .”
It is said that Illion has an impatient temper, but he was serious about the management of the territory.
He decided that there was no way he would attract foreign powers.
“Ah-oh. stuffy. It seems that he intends to attack his older brother while his maternal grandfather is away.”
“what?!”
“I think I noticed. The fact that the person that Lady Julia really has in her heart is her little brother… And Lady Julia isn’t someone she longs for… Confirmed as successor… … .”
Of course, Lian uses the method of hitting the first as an ancient way for the second.
“Really?! It can’t be like this. Seriously, big brother is trying to solve everything with violence.”
According to Rian, it would be a big deal if the Count were to leave.
Quite competent knights followed the first.
Not only that, but the first one tended to invest heavily in armaments.
It’s a situation that is already behind, but if the mother’s family is mobilized… … .
“yes. So, we must hand over Fort Albezal to Count Thomond before big brother gets involved!”
If both foreign powers intervene, the picture Lian wants will be completed.
A fortress like that didn’t matter to Lian anyway.
Because what Lian was aiming for was Airy Island itself.
“When Grandpa comes back, he will play a bell… … .”
“Eh. older brother! The title of marquis is at stake. It’s okay if you pay a moderate price and come back later. Would you disobey the only Marquess of Isle of Airy?”
“yes. That’s right. It doesn’t matter if you become a marquis anyway.”
The second, of course, fell for Lian’s words.
The title of marquis was a magical word that could solve everything.
“older brother! You have to hurry. Please deliver the letter to Count Thomond as soon as possible. And send a letter to Fort Albezal… … .”
“Anyway, do you think I can win against you?”
Anyway, if the mother’s family is kept in check from the bottom, only you and your older brother remain.
So I just have to worry.
“Fill it out with money. After all, war is money. There are a lot of little brothers who have extra money. Buy mercenaries too. Persuade the neutral vassals as well.”
“yes!! That’s right. thanks!! If you come back, I will definitely repay you!! ”
The second also hurriedly left Lian’s room.
From now on, the two will be very busy.
“Kuh. kuh. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!”
Ryan danced and laughed.
The vice-captain, who was watching it, put his hand on his forehead.
“There will be no devil like you. What the hell were you thinking? If we bring in the foreign powers, it will be an unstoppable battle.”
Lian shook her head.
“Of course it is not certain. Anyway, in this land, the two brothers will fight against each other. The other two counts must be busy fighting each other over Albezal Fortress. hehehehe.”
Lian’s words made the vice-captain curious.
“Why are you even doing that? What are you going to use it for by making the two counts fight? Due to the timing, we will not be able to set foot there because we are involved in the Dublin succession fight.”
Unless you have two bodies.
“The Earldom of Ormond!”
“… … ?!!!!”
At Lian’s words, the vice-captain’s eyes widened.
“Shouldn’t we find the estate of the vice-captain?”
“that is… Is it possible?”
“The Earldom of Ormond is under the Earldom of Oslager, my eldest brother’s maternal family.”
The Earldom of Ormond is a completely new faction.
The vice-captain began to get dizzy with how the plate was running.
For reference, Tramol, the land of the vice-captain’s ancestors, existed within the new faction, the Earl of Ormond.
“If the fight escalates, Count Thomond will ask them for help. Hit the back of the head.”
“Is it really that easy to go to war?”
“Heh heh… There are ways.”
It’s about nothing special.
The old Earl of Ormond resisted to the end during the War of Subjugation of the Ingleson Kingdom.
Thanks to that, the Ingleson Kingdom purged the Ormond family with thorough punishment.
The former captain of the Ormond Pirates was the last heir and became a pirate with only a few lives left.
In the Ingleson Kingdom, the nobles of the Ingleson Kingdom are seated in the Earl of Ormond, which has become vacant.
That is the current situation.
“That way… what is… … ?”
“The seal of the Earldom of Ormond. Didn’t you leave that with Count Oslager?”
“How do you do that?”
When I play the game, why is it over there? I thought, but now that I think about it, the previous captain must have borrowed money with the seal as collateral.
With that money, he bought a floating ship and gathered the descendants of his vassals who survived to set up a pirate group.
Lian gobbled up the entire pirate crew.
“Please just drop that rumor at the right time. You have an intel on the Earldom of Ormond.”
It shouldn’t be difficult since most of the pirates’ crews are from the Earl of Ormond.
You can appoint an appropriate person.
“It is not difficult. By the way, did you really mean we could find the land of our ancestors?”
“Timing is a little bit important. After going to Sinsenrom Empire. Clean up Dublin (Country of Der) as quickly as possible. I have to fight. I mean with my maternal grandfather. hehehehe.”
Count Der will also join the war as an ally.
At this point, Airy Island will become a pandemonium where the interests of various territories are mixed.
The board will grow so fast that it will be difficult for Ingleson to intervene easily.
First of all, it is not difficult to find the land of the vice captain.
After entrusting it to Rian’s maternal grandfather. It’s because you can use the cause of non-pressure to claim your title.
Once this is done, even if it is not a master-servant relationship, it is possible to declare war without going against King Ingleson, the higher concept of the territory.
If King Ingleson later intervenes, just claim it was a civil war, not a rebellion.
Even in the worst situation, they simply become the king’s vassals.
Of course, there is a high possibility that it will be entrusted to others.
“It’s so easy!”
Ryan smiled brightly.
Tears flowed from the vice-captain’s eyes.
“It’s like a grown adult procrastinating! Pop!”
“kid!! no. Captain. Loyalty for life… … .”
Lian shook her hand.
“Wow. What are you doing to cringe? Just do it normally. The future Count Ormond.”
“What?!”
A count, not a baron?
What else could this mean? A moment of puzzlement.
“Broken nieee!”
Charlotte opened the door and entered.
She had a happy expression on her face.
“uh. okay. How have you been? Who is that brother?”
“Fortunately, Bishop Seina was not late. If I was a little late, I could have been in big trouble.”
As expected, if Charlotte hadn’t intervened, Vezimir’s younger brother, Betz, would have passed away today.
“Huh?! It seems to be a patient, so could I bring it right away?”
Bishop Seina came in belatedly behind Charlotte.
A child of about the lower grades of elementary school was carried on his back.
“Fortunately, it was a disease that can be easily cured with divine power, so it was okay. I thought it would be better to come here and feed something rather than leave it there… … .”
“good job. sister!”
Meanwhile, the bone-to-bone child opened his eyes and tried to get off Seina’s back.
His eyes looked quite bright.
Swoop.
When Seina put it on the floor, the kid knelt down in front of Rian.
“Thank you. Master Rian. I will never forget that you saved my young life.”
I pronounced it clearly and distinctly, not like a child.
‘Is this guy also a possessor?!’
I was about to be suspicious.
Lian also has a surprisingly clear pronunciation at such a young age, but it was nothing compared to the kid in front of him.
“He is a smart boy. It’s going to be big.”
However, the likelihood of that happening is remarkably low.
If this world is a game or a game-based world, you must possess a count or a person who is about to become a count.
The player’s minimum requirement is an earl.
“do… young master!!”
Then, belatedly, his older brother and sister arrived.
It was Vezimir, the poisonous king, and Beatier, the handmaid.
The guys came with sacks full of something.
“thank you. If you hadn’t helped… … .”
“Help me again. really… thank you.”
The two guys also hurriedly left their luggage and knelt down.
“uh. yes yes Say hello to Charlotte.”
More important matters remain.
Hiring talent is an important virtue for players.
“I’m leaving at dawn tomorrow. Then I can no longer count your circumstances. So I want you to decide.”
At Lian’s words, the guys were confused.
“Wouldn’t you like to be my ally?”
Come on, take my hand The Poison King and his brothers!
