(EP.41) Too many. # 2
041 – Too many secrets. # 2
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now Angmar is a centralized type of kingdom.
However, there was a time when even such Angmar was divided into small countries and waged war a long time ago.
That is, there was a time when the rulers of each city-state called each ‘king’, just like in ancient Greece.
Lioness, the lion king who ruled the western desert and vast lands including the western desert, was an example of that.
The continent’s greatest warrior, Lioness, once swung his arm, mountains were broken and rivers were filled.
A descendant of that brave Lioness sits at the table.
“huh.”
Elgar was pounding nervously on the table with her fingers, as if she didn’t like this wide table.
Elgar’s blue eyes stare coldly at him in the seat in front of him, the son of another king sitting to the right of the table.
The dragon king Draco, who ruled the numerous cliffs and valleys of the eastern continent, as well as the rugged mountain peaks and fortresses.
Did the dragon king Draco wield the corpse of an ancient dragon to reign supremely with fear on the battlefield?
“Hold still, little Lioness. Aren’t you crazy?”
The descendant of Draco is sitting at the table, elegantly drinking the milk tea in front of him.
Whoops.
Among them is Tarantera, a clan of the Witch Kings who wisely governed the northern forest.
Said Aira, the descendant of the Witch King.
“It seems that Bellhawk’s young girl doesn’t want to come. Even after the promised time has passed, you are not seated. This is disregarding my authority. This is unacceptable.”
Ira looked to the south of the empty table and frowned as if she didn’t like it.
Draco’s daughter Mirna put down the teacup and said a word to him.
“Isn’t the spider’s web too short to bind the free-spirited Belhawk family? It’s a spider, it’s a beast that can’t fly and just hangs on a rope. Oh, and do lions also crawl on the ground?”
“… … .”
Ira just raised one eyebrow as if she didn’t understand.
Standing near the table and listening to the story, I could see that Mirna was ignoring Aira and mocking her.
Shouldn’t it be called a metaphorical twist on Aira’s lack of authority to bind the behaving Belhawk family?
In addition, the Lioness also criticized it.
Before Aira said anything to it.
bang-.
Elgar hit the table.
Thanks to him, the map of the Angmar Kingdom was drawn on the table. A small scratch appears in the western city of Borgia.
“Mirna Draco. I like that you didn’t say anything today. Just looking at your face makes my teeth split!”
As Elgar looked at her nemesis, Mirna, it seemed that she could not suppress her fighting spirit.
Their last meeting was the end of a dull duel. The sediment probably hasn’t gone away yet.
Jerry, Jerry.
As they stared at each other, I had to feel my skin tingling and cold sweat running down my back.
Should I say that this wide round table with the city and map of Angmar feels like a real battlefield?
In fact, the history of Angmar will be like this.
Lioness and Draco confront each other.
I don’t know what the Tarantera House in the north is thinking.
The southern warchief Belhawk is not present at all.
Yes, this table and the people sitting at it are really microcosm of the kingdom itself.
I looked out at the entrance to the large conference room in Daeshinjeon.
The Belhawks didn’t think it would come no matter how long they waited, so they thought it would be a good idea to hold this dinner and meeting before anything goes wrong.
“I, then. I, Tae Oh Gospel, will conduct the 1st Gracia General Assembly. First of all, the order of the meeting is-.”
“for a moment.”
As I was recalling the lines I had memorized in my head, someone interrupted me.
She was Mirna Draco.
Mirna Draco pointed at me at the tip of a neatly folded fan and said coolly.
“Tao Gospel. Do you have the right to hold a meeting of the four families who are the beginnings of the kingdom on a trivial topic of commoners?”
“yes?”
“For what purpose are you here? It makes me feel very insulting and humiliating for a commoner to be here.”
That’s right.
Mirna Draco didn’t seem to like me. Maybe it’s because Aira doesn’t like me.
Aira, who had been listening to the uproar so far, frowned.
“Do not insult the court secretary I have appointed.”
“Are you a secretary? Are you not a gardener?”
Mirna Draco raised her eyebrows as if she couldn’t understand. But what I couldn’t understand was the same.
When did I become a secretary?
Then Aira showed a proud expression and opened her chest proudly.
“I recently promoted you.”
“Did you have the title of court secretary in the first place? What right do you have to destroy the old laws of Angmar?”
“I am the queen. If I make it, it will exist.”
That seems to be the case.
Suddenly I was promoted from the court gardener to the secretary. It doesn’t change what I do, but it feels good to get a higher position.
Ira said.
“An insult to Tae-oh would be considered an insult to me, Mirna Draco. It’s good that I, the queen, judge well so that I don’t lose respect for your father and grandfather.”
“… … .”
As if Mirna Draco had nothing more to say at the flat tone of threat, she simply opened her black fan and shut her mouth.
After all, Ira is the queen.
As a woman who reigns as the top of the kingdom, it must have been unavoidable even if she was a daughter of a great family.
Mirna’s face, which was covered with a fan, seemed to have a sense of remorse, “Why the hell did I come here?”
Anyway, before this momentary calm was broken, I decided to proceed with the order quickly.
“Then, let’s eat first. Today’s supper was specially prepared with ingredients handled in Gracia, the city of the denomination.”
match-.
As I applauded, the food that had been promised in advance came out one by one, covered by silver trays and dome-shaped lids.
tumbling-
Only when the food on the stretcher filled the table with the sound of the wheels rolling, I was able to release my breath.
Even though it looks like this, they are all children of the great aristocracy.
Because they maintain dignity and nobility during meals.

“The rebellion was suppressed before it even started. Thanks to this, the huge amount of slush funds that the Minister of Finance was keeping behind was able to be recovered to the Royal Vault.”

Contrary to the unsettling start of the meeting, surprisingly, the meeting went smoothly.
“It is equivalent to the royal budget for ten years. Such a huge amount of money is going into the pockets of the rebel leader, so no matter how much taxes are collected, the money is not enough. Now we can lower the tax rate.”
Elgar, who was calmly listening to Aira’s story, helps out a word.
“Myrna Draco, I came with the infested savages from the south while you and your bones were playing. It was a terrible battlefield. Do humans eat the same humans?”
The meeting is about the state of the kingdom of Angmar and what is going on. We debated hard about what to do to solve it.
Unlike Mirna, who pretended not to be interested and pretended not to cooperate, she listens to their stories and asks questions.
“Then the Dawning Guys have been completely uprooted?”
“okay. It is thanks to the hard work of the secretary, Tae-oh.”
“Heh, well, it seems like it would have been an organization that would have been disbanded on its own even if the common people didn’t put in the effort. I heard that the Dawning Council elects the representative by voting, right?”
I nodded at Mirna’s words.
“Yes. It is an organization with the motto of democratic decision-making.”
“It’s a democratic decision. I don’t know why you believe in such ancient polis-style water-gutism.”
“What do you mean?”
“That’s how a popular clown without any ability or anything else gets chosen as the leader of the crowd, isn’t it?”
My heart was pounding because Mirna criticized democracy. Because I was a person who lived in a free society in the 21st century.
When I did not answer, Mirna, a noble girl, sharply criticized.
“Actually, the ancient city of Artena was destroyed like that. Bulko, the dumb minstrel, became a leader thanks to his popularity, and the nation itself was buried in the sand. Democracy has already been proven to be a failed politics.”
“Well… .”
“Why are the common people trying to revive the old politics in such an incomplete form? The politics of kings and nobles are the most sophisticated. Tae-oh, you’re a commoner too, so let’s talk about it.”
Then Elgar intervened in the story.
“Stop talking like that. Mirna Draco. You said you’ve been in this Gracia for quite some time? While we sacrificed for the kingdom and the people, what have you done?”
“It wasn’t me who was playing, Lioness. I was also busy moving for ‘Angmar’ in this Gracia.”
slurp.
Mirna’s eyes, which were half covered by the black feather fan, opened half-thin. At such Mirna, Elgar just yawned and asked as if bored.
“What did you do? tourism? Doing nothing and arguing with commoners about the topic of being lucky enough to be born a nobleman? If you are a noble, you have to act like a noble to be a noble.”
Elgar’s attitude was quite sharp.
I wonder if he was scolding Mirna instead for me, who was insulted and ignored for being a commoner.
「Calmly judge the situation!
You gain experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.
All job experience + 5”
That’s right.
I think Elgar will be a little impressed.
However, Mirna’s attitude was relaxed.
“Noblesse oblige. Is it funny to say that the person you don’t like the most is talking about? I found out that it was in this gracia.”
“it? what is that?”
“You really don’t know anything, Lioness. I want it to be comfortable.”
“What man?”
As Elgar got up and kicked her chair, Aira raised her palm upwards, probably to stop it.
“Keep talking, Mirna.”
With Aira’s permission, Mirna collapsed the fan. Thanks to this, the expression on his face was much more serious than when he had ridiculed and looked down on his opponent until now.
“That Mirna Draco finally figured it out last week. I found out that it was there in this gracia.”
“So what is it? Don’t be stingy, say it quickly!”
“A taboo heritage.”
taboo heritage.
The moment it came out of Mirna’s lips, the atmosphere of the conference hall changed in an instant. Even Elgar, who had been filled with dissatisfaction with Mirna, sat quietly in her seat.
Ira said.
“From now on, all users should step down. Tae, you too. Let only the young children of the great families remain here.”
“Are you saying I have to go too?”
“Yes, Tae. I’m out. I won’t say it twice.”
Aira let me go
There is no such thing as
However, the information on taboo miscarriage was plausible.
Is it in this city?
