Episode 95
##095
The king’s plump cheeks trembled as he looked out the window.
I ordered to delay it as much as possible, but what is this? Suddenly, they entered the garden inside the palace.
– King Gong. I’d rather postpone the audience for a few days… … .
– You can’t do that in a small way from the first meeting.
I said so, but I was afraid.
When rumors are only a few percentage points more accurate than thought, the relationship becomes ambiguous.
He is the one who is receiving the halo of the Synsenrom Empire, and he is the one who came here with the escort of the Ibel Kingdom fleet.
-Shouldn’t you have thought about the face of the Ybel Kingdom?
-but. The kingdom of Ybel is a bit scary.
To get to the kingdom of Ybel, you have to pass through the waters of the Serang Empire, but… If they were determined, it was possible to harass the Duchy of Brittany.

Just come back to want it and that’s it. It’s enough to push in and sweep it all at once before the Thrang Empire can react.
“Lord~~! Where are you?!!”
Outside, Lian continued to bark loudly.
No matter how young he was, the faces of the men he brought with him were hideous.
“That crazy kid… … .”
I said, but it’s scary.
The King Kong’s royal guard stationed in the capital numbered about a thousand men.
barely? It can be said, but in reality, mercenaries are used when there is a war, so there are not many regular troops with high maintenance costs.
In addition, the mercenaries fought better than the conscripts.
“Prince Gong. Dangerous. Calling in troops… … .”
“after… Call only the knights.”
Calling out soldiers only hurts face as a superior.
The horses were in a mess of training on the Royal Guard.
Actually, there was a reason for this.
It was to avoid dedicating soldiers to the Thrang Empire.
Every time there was work, they sent low-quality troops to the Thrang Empire several times, and now they refused vehemently even if they sent them.
Of course it’s in the beginning.
-Are you kidding me?! Did you send these guys with the screws out as troops?!
, but the Thrang Empire was not an idiot either.
It was only when he saw that half of the sent troops were guardsmen that he admitted that the power of the Duchy of Brittany was messed up.
It was the same even though I had enough intelligence and double-checked it.
-hmm. It will be easy to manage.
The second reason to be weak.
Maybe it was to avoid offending the displeasure of the Serang Empire.
Of course, some may say so.
Wouldn’t it be dangerous if the Duchy of Brittany, which serves as a bridgehead for entry into the Serang Empire, was in poor condition?
half right and half wrong
To say that it is easy to land is to say that it is difficult to defend. It costs a lot of money to be determined and defended.
It was much better to leave it alone and set a trap.
Of course, it is the Duchy of Brittany that has to deal with it while struggling in that trap.
“yes. Even if I gather only knights, I will dare to bow my head to the King’s authority.”
“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have come out so confidently.”
It seemed that the opponent had already made up his mind.
It must be that you are looking at it with some degree of complacency.
What kind of vassal would come to see the lord’s garden messing up?
* * *
Lian eagerly called out to the king with a loud voice that hadn’t passed the voice changer.
It is to the point of misunderstanding who is the owner of this place and who is the guest.
“Is it okay for the little boy to do this?”
The vice-captain was bewildered.
That would be the case, even just a short time ago, the King Gong was a being that could not be seen even if he dared to look up.
No, even the baron, let alone the count, had to bow his head.
But, to think that the Prince’s front yard would turn the palace garden into such a mess.
“You can’t cheat like that. Whoops!”
Rudeness rarely stands as evidence.
In an aristocratic society where scheming prevails, it would be foolish to judge by looking at a fragmentary incident.
-He must have ordered something and put it on the vassal.
– The fact that the vassal went wild in the first place is proof that the lord is incompetent.
It’s very likely that you’ll see one of those two.
It’s not that the lord just wants the power of his vassals to weaken.
When the difference in power decreased, it was difficult to manage the vassal, whose head became stiff.
“Are you Count Lian Leon?!”
It wasn’t long after the game was played that the King of Gong came out into the garden.
Even in winter, the garden, which was full of flowers, became a mess as if 100 elk were running.
“Meet the lord. I heard you were looking for it, so I hurried over.”
Ryan shamelessly exclaimed.
I hurried to see you, so what’s the point of a flower garden? It was a nuance.
“Yes, welcome. However, since you are not yet my vassal, you are not qualified to be called my lord.”
“hmm… sorry. Your Highness the Gong. If so, I will find the right given to me and come quickly.”
Lian’s expression, which had been slightly smiling, slowly began to cool.
An atmosphere that cannot be created by children.
The strange feeling made the King feel a chill run down his spine.
‘for a moment! Are you in a hurry?!’
When I asked to see his face, he made a mess of the garden. Saying he would come looking for rights could mean bringing troops.
In addition, I heard that the ships built in the harbor are amphibious.
‘eww… sh*t!’
A busy picture was drawn in my mind as the floating ship broke here and there.
If you make it an issue, you will excuse yourself that it happened because you were in a hurry.
I am worried that I will be able to show an overwhelming appearance if I use my strength to block it.
There was little to stop the new flotation since it was already in the harbor.
‘If I block it clumsily, it will only damage my reputation.’
The Gongwang completed a rough estimate in a short time.
I don’t know how external forces will intervene if a dispute arises for no reason.
When that happens, it becomes, in effect, a civil war.
He tried to crack down on his vassals, but there were also many vassals who were dissatisfied.
“No. I don’t think it will take long for you to find the right right given to you anyway. In the first place, legitimacy was also with you. Count Leon.”
“Thank you for the recognition. Lord!”
The Gong king realized that Lian was a formidable child or person.
I was beaten twice to say that I made a mistake because I was young and thoughtless.
“after… don’t go inside I ask for your understanding as it is difficult for you to show your dignity as a lord because of your sudden visit.”
That said, there wasn’t much to wear.
If he had been told in advance, he would have been formally prepared accordingly, so he said do not complain.
“He who reigns does not need to take care of his dignity. Lord. just. please order then. I will follow.”
At Lian’s words, the expressions of the knights lined up behind him went cold.
The number of warriors alone was about ten.
There were over 50 regular drivers.
-rude!
– The young guy is cocky.
– Quiet everyone!
The reason why the knights were angry was because Lian’s words were paradoxical.
Aren’t you begging your subordinates because you don’t have the skills?
Have some power. Then, I would be grateful if I only fed him grass, not complaining about side dishes. It meant this.
wheeeing~
The king paused for a moment, probably because he had read the knights’ mood.
“Clear the road!”
At the king’s command, the knights moved left and right so Lian could enter.
‘There’s nothing good to see when there’s a conflict.’
Lian brought about 50 troops.
The Duke only had about 100 knights.
The problem was, judging from the momentum, most of them were mana users.
The number of warriors is also five.
If you fight, you won’t be overwhelmingly suppressed.
‘External forces may intervene.’
That was my biggest worry.
The Thrang Empire was likely to stand by if the mainland was not a threatening enemy.
Broadly speaking, the Serang Empire is the lord and the Duchy of Brittany is the vassal.
They will intervene belatedly and try to reap the benefits.
“I want you to stay except for the two of you.”
The captain of the Guard made a polite request to Lian.
It meant that armed personnel would not be allowed into the palace at once.
The same goes for unarmed.
From mana users onwards, existence itself is a weapon.
“I thought so anyway.”
Ryan smiled and walked forward.
The captain of the Guard hurriedly avoided Lian, who was pushing in.
‘Crazy kid!!’
No matter how he looked at it, he seemed insane.
I don’t know what the hell they believe in and mess around with.
“I’ll pass~”
“There are many hardships.”
However, the moment the two passed by, I realized that Lian was not an ordinary person.
Even if the level of the two people was not good enough, they seemed to be at the middle level with the second awakening.
‘Earl has two middle class?!’
Although the captain of the guards was at an advanced level, the resolution was different from the two.
To be honest, the captain of the guards was a warrior raised in a greenhouse, but the smell of blood lingered in the air through which the two had just passed.
“Oh clothes. Maybe it’s because he’s a princess, so he has a lot of secretaries.”
One of them was Charlotte, dressed as a maid.
To go to meet the king, he said that at least one lady-in-waiting would stand out, so he changed his clothes.
“Most of them are maids. Few people are competent enough to do the job of a secretary.”
It was just a play with the king’s doll.
Of course, up to 30 people with numbering is at least usable.
Other than that, he could read and write because he was from an aristocratic background, but it was enough to do simple paperwork.
Naturally, the age of the secretaries was too young.
“… … .”
Charlotte looked at the secretaries with a dumb expression.
It seemed that she was stuck in her clothes, but at least she was modest because she was wearing a maid’s uniform.
If it wasn’t for that, I might have drooled and made a fuss about being pretty.
“I’ll ask if I can get one when I go back later.”
“affection… You mean?!”
It is an age of great interest.
no. This child was especially so.
I wondered if that vigorous curiosity led to talent, and furthermore, an SSR+ level almighty character came out.
“If you promise not to learn only s*xual things, I will ask your aunt to teach you accounting.”
“thank you! young master.”
It seems that the artillery room is getting tired of it.
These days, it seems that the need to polish the dedicated mini-mana can has decreased.
apart. apart.
Lian and the others were guided to the reception room by a maid wearing a name tag with the number 27 written on it.
It was polite for the king to re-dress for a while and return later.
“I would appreciate it if you could wait a little bit here. Count.”
The secretary politely completed the guidance.
Charlotte’s eyes lit up.
Certainly, the way she greeted her looked a bit different from that of ordinary ladies-in-waiting.
‘Anyway, I mixed all kinds of things together.’
It wasn’t once or twice that Ryan was confused in the early stages of playing this game.
Of course, the second half didn’t get much better either.
It’s just that people’s thoughts and tastes are different. I saw a reasonable compromise.
Kirik.
I pulled out a chair from a moderately long table and waited for a cart to come in.
It appeared to be used as a herd to transport food.
“I am surprised.”
Given the character of the king, I thought he would get straight to the point, but he would actually eat first.
Plates with covers were placed one after another on the table.
‘I don’t smell food… … .’
It was a little strange, but after shouting a lot, I was about to go hungry.
It felt like I was singing a few songs.
“His Highness the Prince is entering.”
By the time the dishes were finished, the king came in dressed in clean clothes.
drooling.
Lian reflexively got up from her seat, but the King immediately dissuaded her and ordered her to sit down.
With a thoughtful look on his face, he sat across from Lian instead of at the top table.
“okay. Didn’t you just declare that you would have the count?”
“It was a right given to me from the beginning. It’s just that the thieves are running around while I’m away for a while.”
I was going to pack up quickly and head to Airy Island.
“okay. okay. Would you like to look at these?”
match!
When the king clapped his hands, the secretaries removed the covers from the dishes in unison.
Seeing as it was made almost like one movement, it seems that this happens surprisingly often.
“hmm?”
However, Lian tilted his head at the contents of the plate.
It was because there was no food in it.
what. A goat might seem like a delicacy.
Various papers were neatly placed on each plate.
“Looking at this, don’t you feel full even if you don’t eat?”
“Can you tell me what this is? Lord.”
Seeing Lian’s slightly puzzled expression, the King of Gong was elated.
‘I guess I didn’t expect this. It’s like an evil guy. ha ha ha.’
After all, it seems that the time he has reigned as the king for 10 years is not going anywhere.
It seems that he is finally receiving the rewards for his hard work.
“It’s a tax statement that is in arrears. Since I succeeded to the county, I would like you to review it.”
Actually, it’s the lord. I’m sealed Loyalty blah blah blah blah, but the relationship between the two was simply a contract.
However, the problem was that the contract, which was simple at first, became more and more complex as several generations passed on.
‘Stupid child. hehehehe.’
Of course, Lian knew that the Gongwang would come out like this.
