Night, 14th Day, 11th Month, the Year 2813

”Well then? Why did you want those kind of terms?”

It was about the ter this noon

Lupis had accepted all of them

It was natural for Lupis to do that because of how she was cornered and also of the urgency

It can be seen fro to go through awith the ministries

Well, it was also true that Ryouma had kept the terms and conditions at a minimum so that it could be decided promptly, but the other side did not know that

”Are you suspicious of me, Elena-san ?”

Toward Elena's question, Ryouma answered with a smile on his face

Looking at his face, one can easily say that he had ulterior motives

However, Elena had her own convictions

”Suspicion? There's no such a thing You're thinking too much”

Towards Elena who spoke with such assertions, Ryouma could not hide his surprise

”You said you don't have any suspicion, but still you are asking me that kind of question?”

It was a natural objection on his part

It would have been natural if she asked because she was suspicious of so suspicious, it was expected for Ryouma to doubt her

However, Elena's facial expression did not change

”Ryou?”

Her eyes were serious, there were no fluctuations that could be seen from it -

He was convinced that Elena wouldn’t pull back if he didn't give her a satisfying answer

(Geez Well, I guess it can't be helped for Elena to be like this, huh?)

A bitter smile appeared unintentionally on Ryouma's face

It was not like he had an ulteriorlike that

He had done so to increase the chance of winning even if it was just a little

Since in a battlefield, he would be dead if he did not do his best

And with the current army Ryouma had, he won't be able to influence the battlefield very much

How can hundreds of troops influence a battlefield where countries collide

What it can do was only to deal a death blow if there were so

The protagonists in this ould be the knight order led by Elena and the reinforcedom

It was also true that he did so he could lessen the burden Elena had carried

However, he could only provide a little advantage for them

It was a cheap price despite the advantages they get

(I guess I have no choice It would be tasteless of me if I make Elena feel suspicious here)

”Is this about the matter of war funds?”

He had asked the perrate ho territory, as well as onein the reinforcement

The eineers seemed to be a little of a bottleneck, but even that much won't cause too much noise

The departure of engineers do to be too concerned about, and even the time needed for Ryouma to prepare for the reinforceood news

Which only left one problem that concerned Elena, it was about the 50 ive him as war funds

”Didn't you say that you're going to prepare the war supplies by yourself?”

Elena directed her investigative eyes toward Ryouma

The amount of war funds was unnaturally too small

Elena understood that Ryouma needed funds for the developood if he had said so honestly

Everyone knew that the order for reinforcement was unreasonable

And nobody would have complained if Ryoue for his participation

There was no need for him to name it war funds in this kind of situation

”Well sure I wanted to do that, but after I saw the condition of the royal capital, I'm not sure if I should've asked that”

”What do you mean by that?”

”It means just like what I said Her Majesty does not seeuess she is already on her knees? That is why, I don't think she would be able to e the supply when the country is under such conditions, no?”

Towards Ryourew stiff
