Varius
… Varius sat hunched in the seat of his office in the castle
By the rues headed to Centralle weren’t unhar by his own intel network, he knew nothing good would come of it So Varius felt cornered
Within the rooht stood
“Varius-sama, We are unable to deny any in on hold, the capital will send the iuards If it comes to that…”
On the knight’s words, Varius lowered his fist onto the table A little while later, he opened his mouth
“I know But thinking ofthe two of the thee Anymore is…”
The knight understood his sentiment So he put to mouth the second and third son, who’d married to other houses
“Shall we call back the boys you sent off for e?”
Varius shook his head
“As if I could do that If I did it, I’d have to go through due process, and take in their second or third son as heir If I act too strongly afterthem off, various problems will come out”
His sons had been married into houses of lower status, but even so, if he used his power to call them back, it would come out with problerandson Officially, there wasn’t a reason to call them back
The knight spoke with a resolved expression
“Will you protect them even if it means war?”
Varius couldn’t randson His son was already Celes’ slave At the very least, he wanted to protect his grandson
However…
“For the sake of randson alone, I cannot sacrifice the territory But, just a little longer… I beg of you”
Hearing Varius’ conclusion, the knight nodded
“Let us wait until the iuard arrives With how tense our situation re like that”
On the knight’s words, Varius powerlessly nodded…

Within the Jewel
Surrounding the round table, we heard out the Seventh’s opinion
『I know Varius-kun I rerave of Resno Never talked with hih』
Investigating around Margave Varius and leaking rumors, we spent a few days At that ti, but it doesn’t seem he knew the man himself
The Third sounded bored
『You know any eraave of Resno his territory back, didn’t you?』
The Seventh shook his head
『I did regain it, or rather, it was scattered landholdings, so the Walt House wasn’t able to ot the demarcation of the other disputed to proceed favorably』
In the Seventh’s Era, the Walt House’s standing was that of counsel to the throne It was proof at just how large the House’s power had grown But because of that, they had some trouble shoved onto them
The Fifth sighed
『You sure work hard when there’s so little to be gained If it were et involved』
The Seventh see on for the Walt House of the time
『Even I generally hated it The one charged with it all was the Walt House But it’s true I wanted a new leaf at the time I took over quite a few bad ru was a dubious one』
Milleia-san touched a hand to her face, and tilted her head a bit
『About the Margrave of Resno The previous generation was quite incompetent… or even if that wasn’t the case, he wasn’t overly skilled, to say the least His son’s means, from what I can see of the territory, aren’t bad』
The city, and surrounding villages… from what I saw, he could be called a benevolent lord to the people To protect the border with Faunbeux, it was clear he was putting his effort
I put together the ruathered today
“By the rurandson is proficient as well Giving the reason that he was too busy preparing the border, he said he couldn’t spare es, it seems But he hasn’t explicitly stated he won’t send them”
The Fifth lightly tapped his finger on the table with a fixed tempo
『… Meaning he does have plans to send therave alone won’t pick a fight with Bahnseies sides to Faunbeux, this area used to be an iin with They’ll just take it from him, and call it quits, or perhaps they’ll use him and have him crushed in the ith Bahnseim』
The Third looked interested He folded his hands on his lap, and grinned
『Nice One son in Centralle The other two married off, and he can’t easily lay hands on therandson, is what I’』
The Seventh, delightedly
“I’ve gained a bit of a favorable iotiations”
I hid ht of as to come
“We’ll be expending a bit of time before Faunbeux It’s true they’re on the border, so we’ll be able to hear rumor of Faunbeux as well, but… should ait until the irave could prepare his own guards to send them to Centralle”
The Third closed his eyes
『If that’s what it comes to, than pitiable as they may be, you’ll have to injure a few Take care not to kill the to be lost in refraining fro him』
We were attacking them after all
A ive as few casualties as possible

… On another front
Adele’s unit took the Baronet along to break up the east
This ti a conflicted expression
In his estate, they were surrounded by his soldiers throughout negotiations
Adele was troubled by his demands
“A rise in rank just froies, but with the scale of your territory, it isthat extent if responsibility isn’t quite…”
On Adele’s words, he pinched his prided beard with his fingertips to get it together
“If I am to cooperate with your cause, I can put out three hundred soldiers Is that insufficient? And if that’s the probleh to fulfill ht Class Houses around If you’ll prepare a level of reward for them”
Adele glared at the good Baronet sitting beside her The Baronet made a not-my-problem face But he couldn’t remain silent
“Aren’t you biting too much with no achievement to back it? If you want a territory of Baron Scale, you’ll need to hold at least twice your current land/”
The other party gave an undaunted laugh
“Then I’ll accept a territory change Right… I’d like a territory close to Centralle I’ve grown tired of these sticks of the far east”
Adele felt a bit like sht Houses around hie, there were various Knight Houses in Bahnseim
They all had different demands, and there were many unsatisfied with just the peace of their territories As Lyle had said, without soet theun to believe
Adele looked at her opponent
“If we give preferential treatment to one, the others will seek out the same level of returns I cannot approve of it”
He made a leisurely expression
“Then I’ll leak your info to Centralle That Lyle Walt’s party is secretlyaround”
