76 Episode 14 Eastern Diplomacy (1/2)

”How's it going, Loukanos? How's Nia?

”Well, I can say that ...... she's remarkably good.

The next day after Nia's physical check, Hercule called Lucanos and asked him about the progress of Nia's education.

The next day, Hercule called Lucanos and asked him about Nia's progress in her education.

He said, ”You know, ......, I've always had the impression that you scolded Nia a lot.

I've always thought of you as a scold. She's a good girl who can honestly correct her mistakes.

By the way, Loukanos was in charge of Hercule's education. ......

At that time, he raised her by praising her a lot.

He knew that scolding would hurt Hercule's self-esteem and make her sulk and stop taking things seriously.

Lucanos believed that the way of teaching should be adapted to each person.

Lukanos took a sip of coffee and continued.

I've made a lot of progress in correcting my Cyrillic. You are now able to read and write in Cyrillic reasonably well. You can also speak some simple Lemurian.

That's pretty good for just a few months. Apart from your studies?

Yes. ...... You're a surprisingly good dancer. Your reflexes and dynamic vision are remarkable. But more than that, your ...... movements are precise and accurate. My martial arts instructor told me that your ability to keep hitting the same spot is ...... amazing.

”Hmm ......, I see. You might want to show this to Karolina next time.

Anyway, it is necessary to dance to live as a nobleman and ......

It seems that you have a talent for dancing, which is necessary to live as a nobleman, and for martial arts, which is necessary to live as a warrior.

But we don't teach her history, politics, military, or oratory, so we don't know how good she'll grow up to be. For now, she's just a good kid .......

I know that.

For Hercule, as long as he knows that Nia is not incompetent, he is happy.

It's not that I'm going to throw him away just because he's incompetent, but I'm not going to ...... lose my temper.

If possible, you want to be glad you picked it up.

Are there any signs of a nightmare?

Not really. She looks like just a girl to me. ...... I don't know what's going to happen now.

I'm not saying that nightmares are dangerous in the dark.

But they are certainly unknown and not entirely without danger.

Even chimpanzees, which are cute and docile when they are young, become violent as if they have changed into adults.

There is no denying the possibility that Nia is one of those .......

In any case, we should check the progress.

By the way, Lucanos, you seem to be suffering from something lately,......, are you okay?

Yeah, ...... well, do you know ......?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. How long do you think we've known each other?

Lucanos had been by Hercule's side ever since he could remember.

To Hercule, he was like a parent.

Of course, if Lucanos had any problems, he would have known about it ...... immediately.

...... Wasn't there a battle with the Foulds recently?

Yes, there was.

And those who were taken by the ...... Phallus were returned or temporarily returned, right?　At that time, I checked to see if there were any ...... acquaintances, but there weren't any, so I decided to ...... a little... ...

I'm sure you've heard of it.” ”Oh, by the way, ...... you served in a battle thirty years ago, didn't you?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

The first time was eighty years ago. ......

The first time was eighty years ago when he attacked the Kingdom of Phars, taking advantage of the civil war that broke out there.

At first, this surprise attack was a great success and they gained a lot of territory. ......

He was defeated by the newly enthroned King Sasan VIII, who was 20 years old at the time, ending the civil war in the Kingdom of Fars.

He was deprived of all the territories he had acquired and had to pay reparations.

Fifty years later, or thirty years ago.

The Kingdom of Bulgaron and the Kingdom of Phars jointly invaded the Lemurian Empire.

At that time, Hadrian III was also defeated and ......

Thereafter, he had to pay a large amount of tribute to the Kingdom of Phars every year.

In these two battles, many elves were taken to the Kingdom of Phallus.

Two thirds of them were released after paying ransom. ......

One-third were not released. One-third of them were not released and were detained in the Kingdom of Foulth.

Incidentally, Loukanos was captured by the Pharisees at this time.

He was tortured and asked to tell all about the Messianic Church's intelligence activities. ......

He was tortured and had his crotch broken.

Who's this ...... guy you know?

”My name is Helena, the second daughter of Uarelius Cog. She was my ...... fiancée.

In the Messianic religion, priests are allowed to have wives.

In the Messianic religion, priests are allowed to marry, because the highest authority in the Messianic religion, the medium, is the bloodline successor.

The idea is that if it's okay for the mediums, it's okay for the other clergy .......

s*xual intercourse is considered evil, but marriage and procreation is encouraged by Messianism.

The House of Cog, a branch of the House of Uarius, one of the seventy-seven houses of the Holy Ghost, is pureblood ...... and female. So pureblood ...... and female.

Both Lemuria and Fahls have a small population of elves.

Especially if they're purebloods.

And ...... both have a particular desire for women.

If you think of s*x as the production of children, ......

Men and women do not have to be one-on-one.

A man can impregnate any number of women at the same time. ......

As a rule, a woman can have only one womb per baby. (Twins and triplets are exceptions. ......)

In short, the government wants fewer testicles, but more wombs.

If you have taken a female elf, a pureblood, as a prisoner of war, ......

If you've got a pureblood captive, don't give her back, take her home.

However, it is impossible for a pureblood to be turned into a s*x slave. ......

If you are a pureblood, whether you are a Lemurian or a Foulds, you will be treated appropriately because you are a nobleman.

In Lemuria and Phallus, if you are a pureblood, you are a nobleman and you will be treated as such. You will be assigned to a pureblood, single, long-eared male elf.

By the way, ......

In the Lemurian Empire, women are allowed to fight only in the Long Ears (Elves).

The elves have high physical abilities, and there is no gender difference in the techniques of necromancy, so both men and women can fight well.

Warbeasts are also very physically strong, so warbeast women can also be active on the battlefield. ......

In the Lemurian Empire, warbeast women are not allowed to fight because fighting on the battlefield is an honor and a job for the ruling class.

In the western warbeast nations, there are some female knights.

But still, the battlefield is a man's world.

I'm sure you've heard of them. ...... But in the last war, we made a treaty with the Elves to allow them to temporarily return to Lemuria if they had already started a family and could not return. ......

It's only recently that Lemurian elves, who were captured by the Foulth and forced to marry Foulth nobles, have come to greet their parents and siblings in Lemuria with their husbands and children.

There's a good chance they're ...... dead.

Yes,......, well,...... I've given up,...... I'm depressed, but not so much that I'm sad. It's not so much sadness as it is ...... disappointment. If you're still alive, you can expect to receive a letter or two.

The correspondence between the families of the Long-Eared Elves trapped in Foulds and the Long-Eared Elves in Lemuria is not that unusual.

If you don't receive a letter, there is a good chance that they have already left for the Kingdom of God.

Well, ......, I'll have to do some searching on my end. You want to know for sure if she's alive or dead, right?　What kind of woman are you and her family ...... talking about?
