142 重鎮たちとの会議 １ (1/2)

On that day, in the Great Council Hall of the Kingdom of Greitas, all the heavyweights of the Kingdom of Greitas were present. Viziers, ministers, generals, guild leaders, and the heads of the great noble families. And of course, there was Masaru and Adelina... behind them, Zarg stood, trying to make his presence as invisible as possible.

So, let's get this meeting started... The chairman is Veedog, the head of the Kingdom of Greytas Guild. Veedog.

Some people tilted their heads at King Axiom's introduction. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm here. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

I know you're curious about these two, but let me explain the agenda first: .... I'm sorry.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find a way to make it work, but I'm sure you can. After that, we will discuss the issue of the empty land that was brought up the other day... where the beastmen said they would build a city. These are the two main topics of discussion for today. The two main topics are

”Well, let's start with a report on the royal city of Bazelarka from Zarg, the dispatch team that actually went there. Zarg.

”My name is Zarg, and I was in charge of the dispatch team. I'm not sure what to say... but in a nutshell, everything was over by the time we arrived. .

The conference hall shook softly.

The conference hall shook roughly. ”Does that mean that Bazelarka's troops had already subdued it?

The minister in charge of military affairs.

”No, not only were there no Bazelarka troops, but, uh, the royal capital of Bazelarka had been cleared. .

The conference hall became noisy, as if it had exploded. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to do.

”Quiet! Quiet! Quiet is not the way to proceed. Please be quiet!

Viedog's voice echoed through the hubbub, and everyone stopped talking.

”So, let's take a moment to clear up a few questions... Zarg, is it true what you said earlier?

”Yes, there is no doubt. Yes, I'm sure.

Can you be more specific? I don't think he meant that the royal city of Bazelarka was destroyed by demons. .... ”You want to know more?

If you want to know more about it, there is someone here who does. It's a good idea to ask him about the time. I'm sorry.

He glanced at Masaru and turned to the king.

”So, shall we ask this party?

Aksyon grinned and stood up from his seat.

”Axiom... why don't you introduce us first?

Axiom... you'll introduce us first? The air in the meeting room froze, and then a man stood up and quietly walked over to Masaru, reaching for the sword at his waist.

”You! You have spoken rudely to our king. .... ”General!

”General! You can't!

Zarg rushes in and stops the general.

”General Yaza. Take your seats! This time it's my fault. This time it was my fault.

The general reluctantly returned to his seat at King Axiom's words. Then Adelina tugged at the hem of my dress and whispered something to me.

(What are you trying to provoke me with from the start? Do you understand? I'll be negotiating with you later on, so you'd better make me look good.

(...It's the other way around. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

(What is that? I'm sure you're not the only one. )

(It's hard to move the relations of a country once its position is decided, so it's fine to be equal. )

”(I see, ........., but that's not the same as picking a fight, so choose your words!

(I know, I know.)

Aksyon coughs and stands up. Adelina also hurriedly stood up and waited for the introduction.

This is Adelina and Masaru, the representatives of the beastmen's town that will be the subject of the second half. This is Adelina, the representative of the city of beastmen, and Masaru, the hero who defeated the unicorn beast and the black bear. I'm not a hero.

”I'm not a hero I'm neither a good man nor a saint. Well, aside from me, I should add that she is also the lovely, lovely niece of Lancelot, commander of the coastal city of Portalime. Don't be stupid or your scary uncle will kill you.
