Ares nodded his head to that

[I see We certainly have more freedom here than in Schwarzer territory]

[Schwarzer Territory is under Archduke's authority after all, so we do have some amount of freedom… but it's still under the rule of the empire They had no interest in a land like that… which explains their hesitation In that respect, this land is far from the royal capital Pretty much an unexplored land Furthermore, we have the authority as a『Frontier territory』to act more autonomously They couldn't afford to pass this up]

[…that's just like them to act like that…]

[They are a bit of an oddball but I believe Milord wouldn't lance at each of his retainers who could be considered as the 『Ultihed
