Episode 14 The Hidden Strategy

Also known as the Inner Sleeve Strategy, like how rogues hide weapons in their sleeves

The capital of Cres Centluna Federation, Fabula, is located roughly on the center of Centluna nation It functioned as the center of the federation’s politics and culture

The reason Fabula is located on the Centluna Nation is that this one pair of fragdoinally nomadic people Basically, thea permanent town (here and there are toith only up to hundreds of people) and no interest in politics and diplomacy

Codom which declared equality for huard theovern domestic and diplomatic ties

For that sake, in spite the fact that Centluna doesn’t even have a th, an enorovern as the capital of The Federation Cres Centluna

In the capital Fabula, exists the head of the federation’s residence

Officially, it’s the residence of federation representative But in reality, the palace is the real center of federation

The current president of the federation, Balden of Centluna and Youth Grand Duchy, which is closely related to Centluna Although you can’t say he’s handsoe Far fro hiood natured to anyone who met him – that was the kind of human he is

In the lounge where the discussion over an hour between the Cress Kingdoree tea that’s been stippledhis throat

With that done, he mustered his will and called for the secretary in the other roouests, tidy up the tea which was left by the guests and prepare fresh high quality tea

Without a eous blonde ( armour with a mantle lined in red that did not show any country’s affiliations appeared

He already expected this person, but as for the s next to the blond man, entirely covered by robes, Baldem was secretly flustered

-A child? Judging froure it could be an elf… no, could it be?

Thinking of the identity of the armoured man, due to the impossibility of it, he (mentally) shook his head in denial

While the Balde allowances for his doubt, that armoured dom representative had vacated earlier

With a natural expression, the hooded figure followed suit and sat beside hiht

-A woman?

“Hoas the result of the discussion? – see from your expression After all, they are beasts Just a bunch of brutes that can’t dothe spoils in front of their eyes and swooping down to claieneral situation of this country”

The ar the beast tribes that were here a o

“…That may be true No matter what you said to the] It’s impossible to talk with them” Baldem spits out hatefully

There has

been a trend to backbite him, for example, ‘he votes for himself’, ‘he’s an aotten the ideals of the federation’ However, fros like Gods and divine beasts will only cripple their brains, and those that did nothing but give excuses are both despicable weaklings

For the hi a realist, no matter how small the decision is, it would be his choice, and he will execute it

As a matter of course, there was always hesitation and pain, but he would defeat his indecision and bear the pain He wasn’t eret it That’s his way of living

If he were to compare it with hi the Beast King repeatedly, are really naive

To begin with, these guys don’t understand the requireth, skill, and heart is the [king]? What foolishness In reality, such unselfish(pure) people are powerless The leader only has to look good, whether or not he is, does not actually e to show results

Speaking of which, the influence and the strength of the Beast Tribe in the Federation is nothing but a h the federation see hand in hands for now, Baldeies – if he forced the recovery of the territory, the country would literally divide into two

To fail to evaluate the i he would like to avoid at all costs

Thinking of that, the man in front of him could possibly held the key to the situation

“Really? Eon isn’t butting into this case?”

Baldem’s attempt at confirmation was answered aloofly by the do a secret ned and stamped by pope

“Naturally, our country is usually neutral We would never support one side Should the war be prolonged and exhausting… ah, right, when the territory is liberated, ill act as donize the settlement of beastman and demihumans are the minimum requirement (for our help)” (armored man)

“Fn That sort of condition is easy enough Are there any other conditions?”

So like that sure has a backstory to it For Baldem who does not have a shred to trust in hulow in his eyes

“That would have made this short I would’ve liked the problems in the federation to be solved as soon as possible”

There exist a hidden side to these cheerful words- in short, suppression through rimaced

“What would you do if before I could take over the federation anda swift result so that the federation does not break, the federal had already been drowned in internal conflict That would be putting the cart before horse”

He looked at the Baldem opposite him

“To start with, is it because there’s two heads that it’s a problem? If there’s only one body, surely it wouldn’t have been as difficult to choose where to go In actuality, the rights to rule this federation is already in your hands, fundamentally, to split the body equally in half was your own choice isn’t it?” (Armored Man)

“That’s true, however…” (Baldem)

“Then isn’t it better to strike while the iron is still hot?”

For the Balde out like the whispers of the devil

“No, as I thought, it’s impossible Overlook these bunch and join up with Iht of Iht end up suffering froed to keep himself in check with his ideal as a realist

“I see, that’s certainly true”

The dom of Eon leaned forward, while the other one sofa surrendered her weight to the sofa while grinning broadly with a childlike smile as if she’s ready to play a prank on someone

“If that problem was taken care of… ould you say?”

“What?” Baldem answered with a voice filled with doubt, to hear froan The hood covering her was lifted

“It- it can’t be!?”

Underneath the hood was as he predicted, a woirl in brilliant red and jet black

Around the age of 12 to 13 years old, with long flowy black hair held together by so that seems like silk Her pupils are like brilliant red jewels, her nose and eyes arranged in a perfect balance, she was a beautiful to the point of raising goosebumps on your skin

Not only were her features gorgeous, she unance of a Goddess and mystery, a peerless beauty
