Thinking he heard enough of the bullshi+t, Milton placed a hand on the sword at his waist But before he could unsheathe his sword, Siegfried began to talk
“If you accept ree to a perdo out his sword frofried in disbelief
“Wasn’t your goal to conquer the entire continent?”
“I don’t think I ever said that?”
“It’s obvious even if you didn’t say it Just look at what you’ve been doing”
Siegfried had started out as an officer in the Hildes Republic, and now, he had risen to the position of an absolute leader as the first Fuhrer of the unified Republic That process consisted of war and conquest and that had bothered the E
“You’re no different, are you?”
Siegfried spoke to Milton as if he thought they were the same In fact, Milton was the same; they were both war heroes
“I’reedy or ambitious as you I would have been satisfied if I could’ve lived peacefully as a lord in the countryside”
“Ha… what a joke”
“”
Siegfried wrote it off as a joke, but Milton just continued to stare at hifried looked at Milton in confusion when he saw the look on Milton’s face
“Are you serious?”
“Of course”
Siegfried looked incredulous
If he thought about it… They had never spoken to each other with no one else around thefried had always considered Milton as his arch-rival He had thought Milton was the same as himself, as someone as ambitious and wanted to leave behind his na; he was saying that he just wanted a peaceful life
And frofried could see, it was the truth
‘A life without big troubles or inconveniences in life, h stress Most people would be satisfied with just that, but…’
“But Milton Forrest, you’re not a regular guy”
“No, I’uy”
“But… you’re… then why?”
It wasn’t just unusual, it was rare for Siegfried to be this confused He couldn’t believe that he had fought against someone like this for victory on the battlefield, over and over, again and again, only to fail each tifried couldn’t understand this at all
But Milton see who he really was
“What? I’ot successful and so now”
“So you’re just being harassed by fate?”
“Sure, if you like to s complicated If you think about it sifried was confused, no, he couldn’t understand it at all He had struggled every day to get where he was today He had thought about every word and action; every day when the day started and right before he fell asleep, he had meditated on his ambition That was how he became the person he was today
But Milton Forrest hadn’t wanted it, and yet, he had risen to his current position by going with the flow and responding appropriately
“How unfair”
“So, what am I supposed to do about it?”
Milton curtly asked
Siegfried decided to stop thinking about Milton After all, Siegfried was Siegfried and others were others
Not to ure Milton out
“Well, first, I won’t deny it My goal was to reign at the top of the world”
“You’re talking in the past tense So it’s not your goal anyfried sighed out his words
“The Eer than I expected”
“I know I’ve been watching you get kicked around by thefried didn’t care and continued hat he had to say
“If it was sie army and that their Masters are powerful, then we can do soht there’d be a ridiculousin the Empire”

“Look at this”
Siegfried took out an envelope from his breast pocket and passed it over to Milton Milton opened it to see it full of personal infore?”
“That’s all we ence networks that we infiltrated the Empire with I don’t know a lot, but I heard that he has Imperial command in this war”
“”
Milton looked through the documents with a serious expression
‘Antras… I think Bianca talked about it before, that there were other countries in the Southern Continent?’
Milton had only heard a bit of the explanation, but it seemed like the countries resembled the Eastern countries and customs that Milton knew
“Truthfully, that man’s cleverness seems to be on par withtoo unilaterally for you to be on par?”
Siegfried laughed bitterly at that “
“It’s because we’re both siet past the strength they held”
In other words, the Imperial Ar
“But, the only reason we’ve been able to hold out against that e is because of me”
“You’re certainly overconfident”
“I’ Objectively, there’s no one else on this continent that is better at tactics and strategy thanat hireat,’ but on the inside, he agreed with Siegfried
