Rusworth
The Rusworth Kingdom
It was crowned by the na was absent If there as to be a difference, it had no proxy, nor was the seat left vacant The queen was given full rule
Up to now, there had been a king, but in this generation alone, a queen had been enthroned
We returned from Galleria to Lorphys, and from there, ere held up by the process to enter Rusworth
But after paying the initial passage toll, there weren’t any divided territories beyond, so there wasn’t a tax
They just took a large sum when you entered and left
Jue we’d stopped by, and caht
The roads were mostly standardized and uniform, and I couldn’t feel the individual colors of lords as I had in Galleria In the first place, Rusworth only had a king, and the ie of its nobility, it seems
There were governors dispatched across the lands, and that must be why it felt so uniform
But the ate we arrived at was questionable
The first village was passed through was terrible They had been living terribly poor lifestyles
But as we closed in on the countries center, it looked as if the villages and toere gaining energy in accordance
The village was stayed the night at was one with a dubious air
The overnor who perood spirits
Around the governor, the villagers gathered
“Oh governor, can’t you do anything about it? Many of our youths ounded in the last war We’re not in a state we can dispatch the requested ten”
When the chief-looking overnor looked uninterested
“And what of it? Rules are rules If you’re unable, then you’ll have to pay the exemption fee”
The land he e
Ignoring the complaints of the people, he returned to his estate
Parking the large-scale Porter at its designated point, Clara came over to me
“Lyle-san, please move Porter as well”
“Eh? Yeah, got it”
“What happened?”
She was tilting her head, so I spoke of the exchange of the governor and chief Upon hearing it, Clara…
“Rusworth is a country ed but its royalty Spin it positively, and it’s h”
Dispatching governors to various regions and having the royalty e it all was the way of the land Because of that, you could say they had unification
But seeing that unification firsthand, it looked problematic
From the Jewel, the Seventh
『… That governor is none too enthusiastic about his job If that’s the norm, there are sure to be problems』
The Fourth looked at Rusworth’s state of affairs
『More than that, is it justmore plentiful as we close in on the center? The air is quite dicey』
With different ways of rule, the problems that came out would be different But it was an atmosphere different from Bahnseim
“Different countries have different circuuess No, I knew that, but…”
Clara agreed with s had grown dark, she used ht them up
“Well, understanding fro it are different It seems the entire area’s been standardizrd, so we should be able to h”
It’s true that if you wanted to move around, Rusworth had exceptionally better conditions
Looking around, I found the villagers of dubious air looking at Porter onder
There, the Third offered me a proposal
『Lyle, try gathering infors a bit? It seeovernor is still quite close, after all』
I also thought it was a good idea, so I called Eva over

“… High minister?”
Night Within the tent, I verified the inforht in
Nove to her words But Aria looked quite sleepy
Eva recited the info she drew out of the villagers with pride
“Right! The position of high s Up to then, the king was the one handing down all the political decisions, though”
Hearing that, the Fifth spoke from the Jewel
『No, isn’t that normal? Even if there’s a minister, in the end, the decisions coranted a level of authority then?』
Novem listened to Eva’s story
“The inforot in Beim before was mainly about the two maidens of war We didn’t look into their personal relations too much”
I found it a little regrettable
“If I knew there were convoys guard requests earlier, I would have left it to Rauno-san But right now, he’s looking into what’s beyond Fortress Redant”
Perhaps not wanting the conversation to derail, Aria requested a continuation fro hard to keep fro off
“More ih minister?”
Watching a sleepy Aria, Eva let out a sigh
“And I’ up the political side, while Rusworth’s queen is the pillar of theit all, but in Rusworth, it’s being held up by two”
High minister
That sort of title must have quite a reason behind it But the Fourth displayed a conflicted response
『… High minister, huh?』
Milleia-san questioned his question
『So about it strike you as off?』
The Fourth didn’t give a clear response, but he seemed to think the situation of both countries was far from favorable
『That Gracia girl was the sahts, Eliza, was it? Rusworth’s queenat the country’s internal affairs, I can’t seem to calm down』
Theirwas bothering the Fourth
(But I do think both political and ether)
I couldn’t help but be suspicious there was so on in Rusworth as well

After that, we ed to travel to Rusworth’s center relatively smoothly
The facts a fortress city was at its heart was the sa to scale, while I couldn’t say Rusworth’s ice as large, it was considerably big
But I hat realized the problem point Rusworth carried No, perhaps it’s best to say I was made to realize it
On the way to the capital, the wealth had entered my eyes
And the closer you got to the central citadel city, the rew
Meaning…
“You’re in time With this, we’ll be able to make it in time for the next war”
The , white, drill-rolled hair said that as he watched us arrive The h ot to the city, the higher his reputation was
This pointed to the fact that rule was centered around the minister himself
Next to the e-scale Porter
