Chapter 16 (2/2)

The feudal lord won’t stay silent either Akseli is even able to ier and roup than the forces he owns the military authority over, exists within his territory… of course he won’t be able to sto it since there’s also the aspect of hiated the foundation himself, but the matter this ti your selfish desires? Akseli smiles bitterly Akseli himself still has to lead a life in secrecy because of him As far as the feudal lord’s command of 「Iainst the public order and ht be possible to have a trained pack of stray dogs as soroup

It won’t ithout reducing the scale of the Hakkinen guard corps

At that late night all of the leaders felt the end of a dream, but Marko said,

“Seeing the objective the , they will rally their forces before long, and besides, it has been decided that ill deal with the increase in personnel Although there’s also the unproductiveat professions without experience, the corps will probably soon loose the support of the populace Without working out a solution, soanization alive is not possible It’s also because such conduct is even falling behind the negligences of the territory’s government” (Marko)

It was a severe judgeeous,

“Please leave 100 of the prisoners to ether with thee their objective itself” (Marko)

Everyone didn’t get theentered his ears, he overfloith violent eht have been the first experience for Akseli to raise his voice without having intended to But he couldn’t suppress it I’ainst it Absolutely no

So like prisoners are trivial, it’s about Marko

What kind of hold of an ene about that child being our core All of the leaders have been aware of it without needing to word it out All of the in Marko

(I’m in a position, where I can’t say it as frankly as Bertrand, but… that still doesn’t change anything) (Akseli)

Re the htforwardly than anyone else, Akseli snorted Bertrand is looking at the boy as incarnation of his own faith’s God He ht not even hesitate to do a suicide, if he were to be ordered to do so… Akseli feels it to be like that He doesn’t feel inclined to htest fun off it either After all he himself is someone alike too

For Akseli Marko is a king

A king definitely has generals and being a general is certainly Akseli Anel’s long cherished wish The hi Marko, would rather discard his name than turn back The him after he met Marko is an Akseli, who deh spirits

The sky hasn’t dawned yet The , illu awithout his lips for a smile So… this is my own face This is

“Do it… I wonder, how ht for us, if ho-kno-long?” (Akseli)

Arranging his words to show respect, he asks Marko He also realized fro worn-out faces, were startled It’s Akseli’s belief to talk, if there was so as general

The reduction of the Hakkinen guard corps won’t change even if Marko heads towards the village Sooner or later Akseli will also return to being a handyman of the territorial army I will return to the scenery of past boredom Therefore, if Marko takes an oath here, it won’t do, if he doesn’t accept to abide to it It won’t do, if I don’t receive approval as a ‘subordinate’ by my own chosen ‘master’

If that happened, Akseli would wait No uess

That’s because a general doesn’t doubt his king for life

He directly confronts the blue eyes staring at hiaze as path to an oath, he advances straight ahead Akseli, ent down on his knees at the feet of Marko, who’s sitting in a chair… displays the elegant as well as respectful bow of a retainer

“Allow ly call you now an Emperor Master, Marko” (Akseli)

The blue eyes have been nothing but calain a mirror In their depth dwells the darkness of avidya

“Command your retainer I will '” (Akseli)

Silence drifted, but for Akseli that was a happy tiazes crossed Before long this king will probably control many retainers and people, but in this moment now, no one butAkseli enjoyed that

Marko laughed with a giggle Akseli had once again a fresh smile as well

“Then I will deliberately use honorific language as well”, Marko opened with an introduction

“It will take 2 to 3 years In the meanwhile, please climb the ranks, Akseli At least that you have the 1000 elite cavalrymen of the territorial capital below you as commander” (Marko)

He didn’t expect the unreasonable Rather, it was a point he wished for

“You don’t mind what method I use?” (Akseli)

“I leave it to you If it’s you, you will probably e one way or the other The territorial capital is full of injustice” (Marko)

“It’s a bother”, as Marko added one thing to another with a completely, unbothered face (T/N: the “It’s a nuisance” is “Koative forame so to say which means that Marko doesn’t reallyinto laughter By grasping the distribution of goods within the territory, Marko has been discovering oods He is telling Akseli to use it to obtain evidence Because of that Akseli couldn’t resist laughing Every single thing about this king is superb

“I have received your command” (Akseli)

It beca the enjoyable dream for much more time to come yet

“Now then… if there’s nothing else, ill dissolve for the ti, I think?” (Marko)

Once Akseli surveyed his surroundings, Lauri quickly, Daniel in a hurry, Oiva enjoying it and Jarkko with a displeased face and blushi+ng cheeks… even while throwing shoulders and elbows at each other, they were trying to get before Marko as if co with each other to be first However, all of theaze

“In general there’s so called first come, first served in this world” (Akseli)

As he said this, Akseli shrugged his shoulders
