Vol 9 Chapter 150 (2/2)
『Her appearance is nice; just right for a decoration Well, the problem is how she’s blind to love, perhaps?』
Right, perhaps she had fallen for Selva’s prince, but she was at his every whim
The horrible part of it was how she took Dario’s words over her own vassals Various internal problems had broken out, ad Lorphys’ domestic affairs were a mess
(She’ll ie her stance on her fiancé’s input, so we can’t really trust her)
The reason the ancestors proclaimed Princess Annerinne as terrible, was because we had found such information Her words held no credibility That’s e couldn’t trust them
There were too many insecure factors to be had with her as our ally So we took some distance
Alette-san offered her opinion to princess Annerinne
“Your highness, it wouldn’t be strange if Zayinit is already i of you, for the sake of both causes, use thisto…
And once again, an opinion was cut off
Dario pointed at me
“You were permitted to stand in this hall because you were to be the next vice-captain of the knights, but it seeotiations are to be had until we can attain the greatest possible outcome for the people And do you have knotholes for eyes? A mere adventurer… what’s ht captain? Do you seriously believe one who has never co down a fortress? Then let us say it as we stand… you are incompetent”
Hearing those words, the Third shook with laughter
『T-truly Lyle… hasn’t experienced a real war yet That one isn’t a mistake』
I was of the same opinion
And I saw the knights and nobles in the audience hall holding back their anger Even so, Dario continued to speak
“Froathered no more than a hundred adventurers Will you even reach that fortress of yours?”
Alette-san followed through tor me
“… Even in Beiuarantee it I believe he has outstanding future prospects”
Dario snorted
“How far off the ood Knights pretending to be adventurers, and laboring themselves over…”
To Dario’s side, Princess Annerinne spoke
“I deeply apologize, Dario-sama But Aletteon her mind Please permit it”
The Fourth
『Well, she’s young Around the saement It’s a fatal flaw at this point in time, mind you』
Within the hall, the surrounding nobles and knights began to realize where they stood with Dario We were being completely left behind
I held back on giving a bitter sht permission for my next statement
“Beg pardon Is it alright if I have a say?”
When it quieted down, Lonbolt-san looked at me, and permitted it
“… We are the ones who should be apologizing Please go ahead”
Not to Dario, I spoke whilst looking at Princess Annerinne
“Well then, as long as we’re able to get a fortress in our hands, would the problem will cease to be?”
Perhaps irritated at being ignored, Dario stuck his mouth in from the side
“You’ll take one down? One ignorant of war sure knowns how to flap his mouth”
Dario was in his mid-twenties But as far as I’d researched, there were no records of hi onto a battlefield I looked at Princess Annerinne, and tried again
“Well then, about the fortress… If we get out hands on Fort Noinyl, will all problems between us be resolved?”
Well it really wouldn’t resolve anything
But still irritated, thinking we couldn’t do it, Dario spoke
“Just try it Lose and coet that Holy Maiden of yours stolen while you’re at it!”
The Fifth let out his voice
『It’s because it’s more convenient for him if we’re out of the picture More so, maybe it’s best for hiether』
And the princess as well
“Yes If you can acco the Holy Maiden in your hands”
Internally
(Already treating her as the Holy Maiden What’s her position? It’s not like we’re relying on them… but it’s convenient to say the least)
When I bowed, I felt a reaction from my Skills
There was a presence hurriedly approaching the audience chamber
The Third called over to me I felt some mischief in his voice
『Lyle, how about you…』
Hearing hi it’s be if I failed, as I esture
“Very well Then I, Lyle Walt, shall take control of a fortress What, it’s a simple matter Let’s see… yes, and that’s the end of it”
When I snappedeyes fell onat me, Dario
“Have you lost it?”
Said that, with an indecent smile on his face Novem beside me opened her mouth
“Lyle-sa too much”
And Miranda as well
“It would be better if he was always like that”
They were both mildly amazed But neither of them looked down on me
And the hall’s door burst open with some momentum
The one who opened it was a knight who looked to be a er Perhaps he had rushed here, as he was out of breath After taking a single deep breath, he spoke
“M-e in! Fort Noinyl has been…”
The surrounding reactions were quite interesting Eyes opened wide, quite a feere looking between er’s
Inside my head, I…
(Thank God I was right… I was saved the embarrassment)
I was overcome with relief
“… Fort Noinyl has been taken by a group calling thehts!”
Within the ensuing uproar, I spoke to the princess
“Glad to have resolved ourto the fortress Don’t worry, we’ll draw the enemy away for you It should prove at least e Ah, and we don’t need any reinforceh as it is This chance we’ve created for you… please put it to good use”
When I gathered up all our members to leave the chamber, a voice called out to me from behind It was Dario
“W-wait! Do you understand what it is you’ve just done!? With this, Lorphys and Zayin have lost all chances of avoiding this war! This is all your responsibility!”
Fro himself
『Lyle’s fault? Ahahaha! No, no… this is your problem with Zayin, and you just happened to ave you prior notice, so doesn’t that ht one? How cruel Even with prior notice』
(Prior notice, is it? Well, I did tell hiot here, but how ill-natured)
The Third see it would come to this He really was a schemer
I knew I had prepared enough forces to take it down But I never thought the er would come in at that very moment
I turned, and gave my response
“Oh, you’re putting the blaation to Lorphys I question whether there’s a need forbusy fro my leave”
As I left the hall, I saw Alette-san stick up her thumb in a position that Dario couldn’t see
She was considerably delighted
But it really would be getting busy
“Now then, on to the next move”
I hurriedly moved onto the next move
