Neville Castle siege

Compared to before, now I’m more aware of the state of the Neville Castle where my brother Geisel lives

Neville Castle was built in a flatland and is surrounded by tater ditches The land near the castle is somewhat rich

As a result, I got the inforht

Once again, the spy disguised as a merchant came to report

「This is the report I have been infor how to assassinate Alsrod-saht a disease and then to call Asrold-saive him the seat of Viscount」

「I see So everything goes well」

「What have you said?」

The spy looked at me confused

「I have received the sah the other retainers who have already been at Neville Castle It seems that within the followers of Geisel, there are so very ierous That's why the information was leaked to me」

It is impossible for those followers to rely on a feudal lord who could disappear tomorrow That much means that Geisel has been completely abandoned

Moreover, ae of my father, there are quite a feho have doubts about Geisel's ability There are certain people in that group who have come to report But truly, what power or ability, he possesses nothing

「Alsrod-sah the Neville Castle」

Raviara felt relieved

「Yeah, since uards would have been creepy」

I felt suspicious of him even before the assassination plan Co, now ainst me

The spy retired From this moment, the war council starts But even if I say war council, it's just Raviara and

Despite being the wet nurse's daughter, she being one of the people ho all my confidants she is the one I trust theabout the important issue It was in a dark roo dimly

「Lying about his illness, could it be that his goal is to assassinate you inside the castle? But indeed, a convenient development for us」

Raviara laughed fearlessly

We are in a world at war And Raviara is not just a kind woman

「To be honest, I thought so too With that, he will actually end up dead from an illness」

If you kill the present lord, you would never be able to escape from the usurper's slander On the other hand, if one voluntarily divulges that one is sick, then you just need to make sure the disease is fatal

「But Although we are talking about that person, surely it is difficult for Alsrod-sama to kill his real brother」

It is true that we are related by blood, but if at this in to hesitate it will be I who finish dead

――That's right It doesn't matter if it's your brother, an enemy must be defeated Otherwise you won't be able to become a Monarch

Again that voice

Did Oda nobunaga also killed his relative?

――I killed h I say this, he was the one who started it

Then this situation looks siive me the feudal lord's seat obediently, and surely one day ould have faced each other anyway

「I'er sister Altia」

「I understand, Raviara will also do everything in her power to help Alsrod-sama」

Raviara shows her determination

Then our eyes met

Without thinking, I extended my hand to Raviara's face
