Chapter 196: Is He Not Understanding the Situation? (1) (2/2)

“That’s true”

King Nicholas nodded as he understood what Marquis Vulcan Canier was saying

“It’s obvious why Grand Duke Forrest is tetchy, Your Majesty He’s planning toreinforcements It’s a battle of wills now, Sire”

“So you’re saying it’s not a good idea to shoeakness now”

“Yes, Sire It may even be that Grand Duke Forrest wants Princess Alina”

“What? My daughter?”

“Yes, Your Majesty After all, isn’t Princess Alina beautiful enough to be recognized by everyone as the most beautiful lady in the world?”

So looked dumbfounded

‘Isn’t Princess Alina only 12 years old?’

‘Is he being serious right now?’

It didn’tNicholas and Marquis Vulcan were slowly beco delusional

“Since Princess Alina has such a wonderful heart and looks so beautiful that she ht even join the Imperial Court in the future, it’s only natural that Grand Duke Forrest who’s known for his lasciviousness would want her”

It was such a ridiculous claim that if the Imperial Court heard it, they’d be baffled

But that wasn’t i Nicholas

“He’s ruitiiven the title of Grand Duke because of his wife And even with that, he still has three wives”

“What? Then he wantsNicholas flying into a rage, the nobles now felt as if their souls were about to leave their bodies

‘Do you really think that’s gonna happen?’

‘More than that, who’s calling who a lecher?’

King Nicholas officially had seven concubines, and it was unknown just how many other lovers he had on the side He wasn’t in a position to speak ill of Milton Of course, King Nicholas didn’t think there even was a comparison between hiitimate royal family, was different from Milton, who had just risen to prominence

On top of that, Marquis Vulcan Canier continued to spout ridiculous clai Grand Duke Forrest will not be able to take back his reinforcements No matter what he asks, we have no reason to be weak and discouraged in front of hiht”

Just as he certainly right about?

After that, several people tried to persuade King Nicholas by edom’s army, but he refused to listen He had codo on the orders of the Edodom wouldn’t be able to withdraw their army recklessly That do rested the whole day at the residence of the Royal fa Nicholas the next day It was tiet to work

“Did you have a nice rest?”

“Yes, thanks to you, I’ve rested very well”

Even as Milton greeted King Nicholas, he could feel the king treating hi?’

Milton had said so a banquet without thinking things through, but he didn’t think the king would be out of sorts over it It didn’t h What otiating the war treaty in earnest”

“Yes, let’s do that”

The twoeach other with the table between the Nicholas spoke first

“First of all, theuntil the Empire sends a second batch of reinforceood idea for your troops to preemptively attack and put pressure on the Republicans”

Milton frowned at that To his ears, it sounded like King Nicholas was saying

[Shut up and fight]

It was outrageously rude and caused Milton to beco for now’

But he ed to keep his facial expression placid, after all, he did learn so from his vixen of a wife Queen Leila’s vieas that a sotiation table Of course, when Milton had heard that, he had said, ‘that only works if it’s you s,’ but a smile was a basic poker face He was furious, but he continued to smile as he responded

“Before we talk about n a for Nicholas who frowned To his ears, it sounded like Milton was saying…

[If we fight, what’re you gonna do in return?]

Of course, King Nicholas wasn’t happy to hear that, but Marquis Vulcan Canier had already told hido in the war That’s why he had a rough idea as to how to respond to it

“Of course I’ll do ht this war as s the rear to us And if you want, I can even call for a draft and aid you that way”

‘What an iht now, King Nicolas was telling Milton that he’ll be in charge of the supply line, so Milton and his , “I called you in as reinforcements, but don’t worry, I’ll feed you”

‘This bastard’s treating me like Hassan[1]’

It was like the comic phrase “Work, Hanssan” he heard in his previous life was changed to ‘Fight, Milton’

The difference was, this wasn’t a gag The other person was being sincere
