Chapter 196: Is He Not Understanding the Situation? (1)
‘That’s it?’
King Nicholas didn’t seelance He was alust On top of that, Milton had never seen a trait called Toadyisdom was a country that held friendly diplomatic relations with the Andrews E of a country would have this kind of trait
‘He’s not a difficult opponent’
Milton, having reached a conclusion, decided to keep his opponent on edge for now
“Having come as reinforcement, I’m quite tired I’m sure you have a lot to say, but can we rest first?”
Milton’s intention was to take a bit of a break whilehis opponent nervous Whether he realized that or not, King Nicholas nodded as he spoke
“Sure, let’s do that I’ve made preparations so that you ”
Having entered the palace, Milton and his iven an entire wing of the palace where the royal fadom lived and were attended by servants
When , Milton smirked and refused
‘What an obvious scheme…’
There werea beauty was one of the ways While the Valence Kingdom tried to push the most beautiful and well-born royal court ladies to Milton, he refused all of them His reason was simple
‘My wife is much prettier’
Since Milton was like this, the plan to use beautiful ladies failed Once Milton had washed away the dust from his body, a royal servant caed a banquet to welco, sir?”
Milton smirked
“I’ a war I find it odd that your country is even having a banquet right nohen the current situation is like this”
“Ah… I see”
When the servant suddenly found hiled to co you, but I want you to go back to your King Nicholas and tell him exactly as I said”
“Yes, sir”
And so, Milton’s words were delivered exactly as he said to King Nicholas Nicholas’s mouth quirked up when he heard it It was a facial expression that always came up when he was in a badto be”
King Nicholas was deeply ill at ease He had tried to create a pleasant at a banquet, that way, Milton would be won over and he would continue to fight for the Valence Kingdo like this, he felt eoodwill towards him
“Your Majesty, you must bear with it for now”
“Yes, Your Majesty Now that the Imperial Army failed and has stepped down, it would be best not to offend Grand Duke Forrest”
“You’re telling me to curry favor with that brat of a duke?”
“Your Majesty, as a monarch of a country, sometimes you must s both the bitter and the shether you like it or not Please ht decision, Your Majesty”
“H Nicholas was clearly unhappy Froht the I like the current situation would happen
“Your Majesty, if the Lester Army retreats now, the country’s survival is at risk Please keep that in dodoue against therasped how precarious our situation is’
‘Grand Duke Forrest is half the age of King Nicholas and yet, he’s a Nicholas has Why is our king like this…’
The seniors of the Valence Kingdo that their ht decision even when the country was going through a national crisis Naturally, they couldn’t help but coh in response
Truthfully, what Milton said wasn’t wrong Despite being defeated once and even being pushed back, the Republic still occupied dom’s territory They desperately needed the help of the Lester Kingdo a banquet? If the people knew, they would curse out the royal family and the nobility
As he returned to the Empire with the Imperial Army, Duke Sebastian had said the Empire would send a second batch of reinforcement troops, the nobles couldn’t trust hi that could easily be gathered and dispatched right away Moreover, it was honestly debatable whether the Empire would even send a second bath of reinforcement troops when the first batch had suffered such a hu defeat that it would be written into the history of the E that could protect the Valence Kingdodom’s army led by Milton The ones who had spoken were those who accepted reality and tried to ht decisions
However, the political arena is truly a fascinating place Just as there could be a traitor if there was a loyalist, in the political arena, if there was a talented person, then there was also a fool There were people ere obsessed with the ridiculous idea that it would be e to be helped by a sdom
“Hm… Your Majesty I think differently”
This person was the representative of the fools - Marquis Vulcan Canier He was the representative of the Royalist aristocrat faction and privately, King Nicholas’s father-in-law
His fadohter was the queen of the country with his only grandson as the Crown Prince of the country In other words, he was THE noble out of all the nobility
“It seems to me that Grand Duke Forrest’s attitude is rather rude If we are too soft and gentle here, it would leave a serious reat person like hi so stupid, it was clear that there was little correlation between bloodlines and ability
“Ohh… Is that what the Marquis thinks?”
The proble to it By nature, King Nicholas was incoant When it came to the Empire, he was very obsequious and always paid attention to Imperial issues, but he was not interested in his own country’s proble Nicholas had properly paid attention and done sodofried would not have been able to stir up the nation
An inco noble flattering and hu public sentied by heavy taxes and exploitation
The threat posed by the Republicantheir swords
Frankly, it would be difficult to find aa country to collapse
But, thenonsense
“Think about it, Your Majesty How did Grand Duke Forrest intervene in our war?”
“I heard that the Eht They entered this war on the order of the Empire That means, Your Majesty, whether they like it or not, they have to fight the Republicans in our country”
