Chapter 68 (2/2)

With a totalin the reinforceed their weapons fro to those used in actual cohts tried to derave Breithilde’s uards

If they were successful, the nurave Breithilde’s arits

“Anyway, it’s an annoying situation” (Breithilde)

After we cast Area Stun and fainted, Margrave Breithilde struggled hard with the post-treat at all

Even though reinforceic airshi+ps and such, it’s still troublesoe the situation of the prisoners since there are this inally it’s not allowed to cross the border in such disputes, but such stuff can’t be said in this situation either

There were 100 soldiers at the troop headquarters and around 20~30 soldiers per ee Because they had ed as well

As it’s indispensable to scout, Moritz, Tho in the investigation of the surroundings since the army’s short of hands

“Fortunately Special Envoy, Viscount Knappstein, is here, I guess?”

He will verify that this 『war』 had been started by the Browig household’s side

I couldn’t deny the possibility of hih

“I guess you are harbouring some concerns since I’m a person from the royal palace, but it’s a fact that this 『war』 had been caused by the Browig household” (Knappstein)

Even though he presented an arbitration draft according to the usual price and conform to the customs, Viscount Knappstein stated that this would be now out-of-the-question as they started a 『war』 to break down their current disadvantageous circu the consequences

Since he lodged over here last night, he otten killed in the worst scenario

“However, there’s one big problem”

A problem, that made it unclear how to settle the state of affairs which became even more tenacious, appeared

Even if we claimed the expenses afterwards, there would be no doubt that it will be a lot of work

It see to carry the food to the troop headquarters and to the es, had been co the personnel

“Since the nue, it is indispensable to frequently transport food” (Breithilde)

However, if the supply unit doesn’t return, the Browig household’s side should find it strange

The news should reach Browig’s household in a few days

“For the meantime ill live off the food we confiscated Since we have already entered a state of 『war』, we are recruiting to supplement the army” (Breithilde)

“What’s the problem then?”

“I wonder ould be good if we negotiate in the future?” (Breithilde)

Due to the question of a young noble as present, Margrave Breithilde answered while floating a dry smile

“They can the arbitration’s agreement by Viscount Knappstein” (Breithilde)

Since it’s currently unknoho’s steering the Browig household, it’s troublesome

Normally the heir should carry out the administration of the territory as feudal lord proxy

However, as that household has been sed by an inheritance dispute, the top brass of the feudal ar the eldest son, Philip, the heir and were defeated in the end

“The leader group, who commanded those military forces, were completely arrested The ih they should be at the front-line in full gear” (Breithilde)

It looks like none of the off their horse due to Area Stun

If there was at least one victi at the front, I would be able to sympathize with them, but once I heard that they becausted at their irresponsibility

“What happened to that princess-sama?” (Wendelin)

“She was at the troop headquarters It seems like she surrendered to Erwin-san” (Breithilde)

I wondered whether they had resisted or not, but it looks like they capitulated right away

“We have received her properly and politely It’s a bother to bring a woman to the battlefield” (Breithilde)

If they did sorave Breithilde

Therefore she is courteously kept in isolation

“That princess-saurehead, I think The problem is…” (Breithilde)

“Even if we resume the arbitration after this, ill be the one to coht?” (Wendelin)

I don’t knohether it will be the eldest or second son, but seeing that they aren’t nareement even if we reduce the conditions

“How about Margrave Browig himself?” (Wendelin)

“If he could have coin with” (Breithilde)

Certainly, if there are any leadershi+p qualities re in hihter the Supreme Commander Representative

“Margrave Browig is dead and his surroundings are concealing that Or, he is already in a state where he can’t give instructions anymore As they don’t knohen he will die as he isn’t conscious any support from the army, ordered the military’s top brass to raise soed that he should probably place his daughter as someone from the family at the top, even if only as decoration” (Wendelin)

“I wonder whether it’s as you iine, Earl Baumeister?” (Breithilde)

If Margrave Browig ended up dying while he ay from his father’s sickbed due to a dispute, it would be quite likely for the second son to selfishly naer to the royal family

That’s why neither party can leave the uess

“Even though it’s fine for the it to a trusted retainer” (Wendelin)

“I guess that’s because it’s unkno the seal official will react” (Breithilde)

A noble household’s fa documents

At the time they seal a letter ax, they press that seal on the wax and thus it becoenuine

That means that the person who possesses this is the fa nobles there was an official retainer position called seal official who es this

“It’s an extre nobles treat the seal official favourably” (Breithilde)

The person is chosen for being loyal to their lord and sincere before ability matters

Once the lord tells them about the successor, that person will risk their live to hand over the seal after the lord’s death

There were many seal officials ere killed by other succession candidates in the past as well

“If Margrave Browig hasn’t yet died, the seal official won’t hand over the seal either way at any price However…” (Breithilde)

What will they do if Margrave Browig hasn’t decided on a successor before he died?

That means, no one will know

“The seal official is a type of civil official as well If Margrave Browig dies after Philip-dono departs to the front, Christoph-dono will press the seal official to give him the seal Even if Philip-dono leaves behind a trusted retainer, that won’t serve any use” (Breithilde)

That’s why both can’t leave fro’s sickbed at any cost

“Such thing is…” (Wendelin)

I try to take it out fro quickly

If it’s a seal, I received it as well, but usually I kept it in

“Earl Bau noble, therefore you likely won’t appoint a seal official for several tens of years” (Breithilde)

I won’t find a reliable, sincere retainer easily On the other hand, since it’s si after the seal, no one but high-ranking nobles is able to employ a full-time seal official

Normal nobles keep the seal with them or they have other retainers hold the post additionally to their regular duties

“You have changed it into so very luxurious” (Breithilde)

“That’s because Roderich told me that it would be better to make it flashy” (Wendelin)

The seal is soreat difference in its appearance to a cheap seal sold at a stationery shop

And, although it wasn’t allowed for the seal part, nobles were allowed to freely change the handle part

It’s not like they will show it to someone, but nobles are after all creatures who put on airs

“Is it an i with each other?” (Breithilde)

“It’s pretty ation That’s the reason” (Wendelin)

The dragons are a golden craftsmanshi+p and their eyes have emeralds in them

The work had been requested by Roderich, who knew a famous artisan in the capital

『Even as artisan he is my acquaintance』 (Roderich)

『That’s because I happened to carry a bit of rest of an unique raw material I picked up at my work as adventurer』

As usual Roderich ell-connected

Handing over the request to the artisan right away, a flashy seal of the Baumeister household was completed

“However, it seems difficult to hold it” (Breithilde)

“When we noticed that the artisan had already finished it” (Wendelin)

Neither Roderich nor me anticipated it this far

Since a strange atan to spread between the two of us, we decided to return to the actual talks

“But, now it has become troublesome”

“The troubleso from them”

“I wonder whether it’s a bit vulgar to call it stealing, but since they bet on an unnecessary night raid, ill largely increase the sum for the reconciliation money and the ransom” (Knappstein)

Viscount Knappstein began to earnestly revise the arbitration draft, which has beco his expression

“How about occupying soe in the arbitration draft?”

“No, it’s bothersome to occupy a city” (Breithilde)

Since it’s the territory of another noble, there’s a possibility for idiots to appear who do stuff like pillaging

Margrave Breithilde rejected the suggestion fro noble

We ended up occupying and gaining control of the enees while ere at it

“Seeing that the dispute has gone this far, it eous in the arbitration if there were occupied territories”

In the end we closed that day’sthe prisoners and securing the occupied territory until Browig’s caer

“Which reminds me, I have a request, Earl Baumeister” (Breithilde)

“A request?” (Wendelin)

“Yes” (Breithilde)

He wants hter which is called Karla or such and has become a prisoner

“Given that there are women at your place, Earl Baumeister, could you have them take care of her as felloomen?” (Breithilde)

Although he has cautioned therave Breithilde’s place She likely feels depressed being surrounded by nothing but men over there

If sorave Breithilde’s reputation to fall

“Even though it’s fine to not bring wo since it’s troublesome”

He ended up saying unintentionally to the elderly chief retainer orked as representative in the negotiations and who became a prisoner

Of course that retainer didn’t change his disappointed expression without saying anything

“I don’t mind, but if I like her, I will propose for her to become my wife” (Wendelin)

“Heroes have a great fondness of sensual pleasures, huh? I’d like you to pardon me from that (Breithilde)

It looks like Margrave Breithilde considered my statement to be a joke

In fact it’s a joke It’s very improbably since it won’t happen due to the opposition by the surroundings

“(However, she…)” (Wendelin)

With black hair and black eyes, she has a face close to that of a japanese in this world full of western people Moreover, her atirlfriend from my student days in my previous life quite a bit

To the bitter end it’s just the ath Karla-jou’s appearance was that of an overwhel beauty

“Ina, are you alright with that?” (Wendelin)

“About thefelloomen? Got it” (Ina)

Although we raised even ht attack of the Browig ared into an excessively troublesome situation
