”Everything has advanced as Your Majesty had expected Aht?”
Grisson sighed while he wiped his glasses with his handkerchief
Anxiety floated on his face It was a question whether he had such an expression because of the person in front of him or because his prediction was correct
”Oh h too much, happiness will escape from you, you know?”
Grindiena teased Grisson while she lays down on the sofa, inside a roootiations
Even though her dress would become wrinkled because of her action, Grindiena didn't seem to care about it
Looking at her childish h
Despite looking like that, she was a lord worthy of respect who showed extraordinary talents in both political intrigues and warfare
(If only her childish uess no human is perfect, huh?)
Grindiena's slovenly behavior was painful to see, but there was certainly a part that makes it feels lovely as well
It humanizes her <tln: i=”” can't=”” word=”” this=”” properly,=”” basically=”” it=”” felt=”” like=”” when=”” you=”” saw=”” so=”” so=”” which=”” makes=”” you=”” feel=”” closer=”” as=”” fellow=”” humans=””>
”Please don't joke Being able to serve your reater than this”
”Hnn, I wonder, somehow your answer is a bit weird, don't you think so?”
Hearing Grisson's answer, Grindiena looked puzzled
She felt his response was the exact opposite of what she had expected
”Is that so ? I don't knohat yourbut, I swear that I have told your majesty the truth”
it was a reht come out because he was a vassal, but Grindiena only showed a bitter smile and didn't have any plan to tease Grisson further
Within the ErnestGora Kingdom, there were four Generals
A them, Grisson was one of Grindiena's aides who had served her since before the time she usurped the throne from her father
Although they never show it in public, there was a certain bond between theoes beyond lord and vassal
”Well, let's leave it at that So, has the army finished its preparations to move?”
”Of course I've ordered arrison in Manviz and ordered the rest of the army to move”
The preparations for war had already finished
The eighth chivalric order under Arnold Grisson's co for the war to start
After that, they only needed to decide where to attack
”The proble to attack If possible I don't want to wage a war inside the Zalda territory”
For Grisson, although he didn't want the Zalda Kingdoht inside the Zalda Kingdom’s territory either
Since it was difficult to e army in a mountainous area
The Zalda territory was mostly filled with thick forest and ht
It was extree ar, even just once, the et disturbed
If nations have the intention of waging a battle with more than 100,000 men, it was better to perfors that could hinder the visibility, like an open plain area
”Although we have informations from our spies, it does not mean we have detailed informations like a person who is familiar with the land Well, first let us hear Mikoshi+ba-dono opinion during the war council tomorrow, then after that, we can decide our next move Probably, he already has a plan”
”Indeed, probably that is right Since looking at these letters, he seeht of”
Grisson eyes stared at Grindiena
”The problem is whether or not he would become our enemy How does your majesty see him?”
However, looking at Grindiena’s sh
It was good for us to be an ally, but if we become enemy, it will become troublesome
Although Grindiena understands that, there was not even a single particle of anxiety appearing on her face
”You don't have to worry Arnold Mikoshi+ba Ryou as the Alliance is standing, he knows very well the iain from it”
While laughing off Grisson's concerns away, Grindiena took a candy ball and threw it into her mouth
Rozeria, Mist and the concerned country, Zalda Three letters fro that cannot be handled carelessly, yet it was being left on the table just like that
(Geez No wonder her majesty has the nickname of the northern female fox)
Grisson sed the words of admonition that were about to come out, then he opened the letters present on the table
”But still, he's quite a ree to form an alliance Like this, all four countries would be able to earn profits”
”For Zalda, since formally we have become the leader of the alliance, they can expect us to send a reinforcement For them, to save their lives and their beloved country this was a small price to pay”
Grisson nodded his head toward Grindiena's words
”Rozeria which has exhausted their national strength due to the civil war should be the most reluctant about the current conflict They would be pleased if the war end faster than predicted because my country joined the war And because of the alliance, the Rozeria who seek a way to restore their national strength could get our backing, the war turned into a Godsend for them”
”Right, and frothen their econoreement A splendid plan where nobody loses That is if we looked only at the appearance”
She was right, no one will lose froreement
In fact, it was a splendid plan that ensures everyone gains profits from it
However, these two are fully aware of Ryouma's intentions behind the scenes
”He is really a clever one Because he is the owner of the Wortenia peninsula, he would be the one who gains the maximum profits from this”
Grindiena's eyes shone mysteriously while she looked at the map where Wortenia Peninsula was located
The biggest problem of the northern route was the existence of the Wortenia Peninsula, also called the unexplored area filled with des
A horrible land where monsters wander around and pirates make their bases
However, with this agreeold mine
A the letters sent, other than defense matters, clauses on trade were also included
Especially the standardization of tariff rates should greatly improve import and export
This creates great advantages for ErnestGora and Mist whichwith other continents, but it didn't mean the other two countries lost in term of profits either
With the activation of a trade agreement, tax revenue should see some improvements
Since all four countries will have to put more efforts into their commerce
In line with that, the nuoods transported will increase at an accelerated rate
If the land transportation couldn't meet their demands, the merchants will consider alternative ways via the sea
