Chapter 10
Editor: Chaz
Today, a heavy air dodom Queen’s office
The reason was obvious
It was because of the result of those ere tasked to deliver Baron Mikoshi+ba Ryou
“I see… He easily responded just like that huh?”
Lupis as just finished doing her day to day work leaned back in her chair and sighed, while Meltina kept looking at her
In Meltina’s eyes, confusion and fear could be seen
She knew that she didn’t want to cause more anxiety for her beloved Queen but Meltina, as one of her trusted aides, cannot afford to misreport the result
“Yes… I believed that he would give us soht it would be this quickly…”
Mikoshi+ba Ryoued to solidify his rule over the northern Rozeria, there was no time left
Normally it would be hard to rule over the new territory
Most of the time, a politician would try to taxasover it
Nonetheless, Mikoshi+ba Ryouma responded to the call, easily outside of Lupis’ prediction
Of course, nor rejoice
In any case, it was a subpoena issued by the Rozeria Kingdom House of Lords
One could say it had tremendous influence
It can be said that the letter was comparable to one of those issued by the Royalty
Of course, this ti summoned as a witness
It was different situation compared to one where he needs to come as a defendant
That hy it was natural that Mikoshi+ba Ryouma answered the summons almost immediately
However, Lupis and Meltina could not feel happy, despite such good news
After all, up until now, Mikoshi+ba Ryouma had been betrayed many times over
“But then… What do you think he’s thinking?”
Toward Queen Lupis’ question, Meltina could only tilt her head in wonder as well
It was a question from her beloved Queen
If it was Meltina froo, she would force some answer even if it was forced
The current Meltina could not do it however
She realized that answering so that she didn’t understand will only cause confusion
“To be honest, if it was htforwardly, receive the sentence written in the letter at face value and come as a witness…”
“Do you think, that Mikoshi+ba would naively ment?”
“Do you think, that Mikoshi+ba would naively ment?”
“No… Such a possibility is very low”
Saying that Meltina sighed
It was because they wanted to kill the iven him the Wortenia territory and the rank of a BaronIt was nearly iin and not a citizen of the Rozeria Kingdoiven a reward that was unthinkable if one were to see it froh the aas such remote area
In her defense, for the sake of national security, she could not tolerate such aggressive talent serving another country
Although Elena advised to e Mikoshi+ba Ryouma
It can be said that the words of ‘when the enemy is defeated, the victorious soldiers can be killed off’ was true…
The greatest enemy of a powerful person was a too competent subordinate, no matter which part of the world one came from
Lupis had decided not to kill Mikoshi+ba Ryouma
No, rather, she could not choose to kill hi that Mikoshi+ba Ryouma could survive
As the result of that decision, Baron Mikoshi+ba Ryoued to expand his territory to the whole northern Rozeria Kingdom
She knew that he was an able and sharp person, but looking at how fast he grew, Lupis could not help but sigh
“As expected, we cannot let him have the northern territory no matter what…”
In response to those words, Meltina nodded her head
“Of courseRegardless of the facts of the conflict, having the entire northern region under his rules aside, but having thedestroyed, it would be the sa to consolidate his rule”
That was the problem of this war
That was the problem of this war
In the Rozeria Kingdo and Baron Mikoshi+ba Ryouest problem
Many skire wells, sohts of forests where their citizen picked firewood
Of course, those issues then would be solved by using national law
However, in this world, where the technology of coh tie each individual
That hy the rule of laas very fragile
Therefore, most of the time, the battle between local lords would be solved between themselves and be done with
In other words, the winner preference takes precedence
But…
“Still… I can not allow this, as a ruler… Absolutely couldn’t…”
The problerey zone in the Rozeria Law
Speaking of the northern Rozeria, it encompasses a vast land tract that was nearly a fifth of the whole kingdom
Combined with Wortenia peninsula, Baron Mikoshi+ba Ryoudom combined
That was a size Lupis could not just ignore
There was also the question of whether or not Baron Mikoshi+ba Ryoudom with such a vast territory and population
“If we consider the whole territory he has now, Baron Mikoshi+ba has one-third of the Rozeria Kingdom territory under himIt is unthinkable for a retainer to have such vast territory…”
“If we consider the whole territory he has now, Baron Mikoshi+ba has one-third of the Rozeria Kingdom territory under himIt is unthinkable for a retainer to have such vast territory…”
Having said thatas it felt like she had said too much
However, it seeless for Lupis
“I guess you’re right… Thatfor independence… If he is the Mikoshi+ba Ryouma I know, he would definitely aim for that”
Agony appeared in Lupis’ expression
It was so that she didn’t want to admit
However, there’s no other possibility other than that
Having a retainer ai for independence
Thata ruler
“Your Majesty…”
Meltina knew
From the day Lupis sat on her throne as a Queen, she had sacrificed s
