Chapter 33 (2/2)

By the way, the son of shi+vik――or as I call him, little shi+vik――is already in his thirties, and he’s under my command like his father, but he seems to be fed up with his father’s formal attitude

「Then Noen will have full authority of these three counties Rule with the stick and carrot Since surely soon ill be wearing arain」

「I will strive to respond to the trust of the Count…」

Noen nodded deeply

It’s a big responsibility but I have no doubt that he will give everything of himself

Moreover, it’s true that shi+vik is old, and thinking about the future, I would like to have a large nuenerals to use

「Good, then, since we are here now, let’s call the Viscount Meisel Ujie」

After a while, Meisel Ujie was brought in front of us

He’s younger than I thought He must be in the middle of his twenties From the moment he entered, he had a serious expression on his face

「I have already taken the resolution to die for having challenged the Count」

「Letof our battle, you never had a chance to win So hy didn’t you give up? Or like other feudal lords, you could have escaped to Naguri prefecture fro」

Including the retainers of the feudal lords, there are a large nuuri prefecture

「My faenerations I couldn’t do soht before It is our responsibility as feudal lords to bet our lives to protect our territory, that’s e are the feudal lords and not then of danger」

I understand now It’s true that this man has a backbone

「I like you You ork as general under this man, Noen Raud Your identity as Viscount will be deprived, but if you ell you can get more land than you’ve ever dreamed of」

The man named Meisel made an unexpected expression

「I was sure that all those who rebelled would be killed… That’s e fought with that conviction」

「It depends of the person If it’s so it to my side, if it’s somebody useless I’ll kill it That’s how it is」

――That’s right, that’s right It’s better to use those who are useful as warlords The Monarch pardoned Matsunaga Hisahide although this one betrayed hiain…

Again, this Oda nobunaga started talking about so

――I also intended to forgive Araki Murashi+ge but this ended refusing stubbornly… Why did everyone end up betraying me so much…?

Hey, I have no interest in hearing about your cos

――In short, use whoever is useful Otherwise you will be unable to govern your territory once this grows too much

I agree with that

「This Meisel Ujie, ith all his spirit to pay your kindness」

「It’s not kindness」

I said it laughing I’m not so naive

「I will use you because you are useful That’s why now it’s your turn to show me your value Create your raison d’etre and hold it firmly」
