335 – Memories of a Traitor (3)

#100-1-20.

The fact that I became romantically involved with Astasia was not the most important concern to my father.

-My son has been openly shamed by the princess, and this is an insult to all of Gibraltar. It’s a perfect situation.

My father decided to take advantage of the situation in which I was dumped by Naria.

Justification.

I don’t know what it would have been like in my own generation, but I hoped that our children’s generation would still be close, but Naria Geo Nostrum cut off that relationship.

Even if that wasn’t the case, there was already enough justification for Gibraltar.

If a problem that had not been made public was spread to the world, it would destroy someone’s character and at the same time make all the nobles clap their hands at Gibraltar and acknowledge treason.

The incompetent king stole the countess.

On the contrary, there may be some who ask why he endured it for 10 years, and there may be others who say how much he sharpened his sword by continuing to send the countess to the incompetent king for 10 years.

-At this rate, there shouldn’t be any major problems with Gibraltar rebelling.

In the case of Gibraltar’s rebellion, more than half of the reasons were sufficiently understandable.

But even my father could not cross the final line.

Is it because the mother just had to be ‘stolen’?

Or maybe it was because she was worried that people would point fingers at her for leaving the house unattended for 10 years.

Perhaps his father was trying to protect his mother’s her honor her her her.

Gibraltar simply committed treason to stand on the side of the empire, hiding the most perfect justification for the evil deeds of an incompetent king.

And the connection between me and Astasia became another way to hide the cause from my father.

My father invited Habsburg von Tersian to the graduation ceremony.

Since my father no longer cared where my mother was, he invited Habsburg von Tersian to meet me and Astasia at our graduation ceremony.

The only official meeting was a brief meeting at that time.

The conversation was so short that I thought everyone was just saying hello, but everything was already happening while I was at the academy.

“Hey, nice to meet you.”

At that time.

“Are you Gray Gibraltar?”

I met the Habsburg Emperor for the first time.

“Yes. He is in love with my daughter.”

The first impression was that he was just a potential sword master from Gibraltar who eventually fell for Astasia’s world of beauties.

“That’s how it is.”

“Huh, it’s done?”

At that time, I also talked briefly.

“Now that Gray Gibraltar has become romantically involved with Astasia von Tersian, it can be said that Gibraltar can now go side by side with Tersian.”

“Don’t talk in circles, just get to the point and be brief.”

At the time, I didn’t know much about the Habsburg emperor, but I spoke rhetorically, like the average nobleman of Nostrum.

“War.”

At that time, I was in a very difficult situation and felt annoyed and annoyed by everything.

“As far as Gibraltar, less blood will have to be shed.”

“…Ho?”

Those words were probably what drew the emperor’s attention.

“War. What do you mean?”

“Isn’t that what you two decided on, the ‘opening date’?”

“…”

The emperor’s expression at that time was unforgettable.

An expression as if gold had been found in a trash dump, or worse.

“…I made a mistake.”

“No, that’s not a lie. Hehe, that’s interesting. Asta Sia, I guess that’s because she’s someone’s daughter, so she asked something quite interesting.”

“…”

“I will give Astasia to you. Then, you will meet her on that day.”

After.

I found out too late.

I really said it before.

When my father talked to the emperor, everything was told only through letters between the two of them, and everything about the war after graduating from the academy was a secret between the two of them.

The emperor must have been embarrassed.

Perhaps the father was sharing information with his eldest son.

The story doesn’t fit that.

Ah, I see.

Gray Gibraltar knew.

It’s good.

The day when the gates of the canyon opened and the imperial army, wearing only pure human bodies and magic rifles and military uniforms developed with pure human technology, entered Gibraltar.

“We meet again, Gray Gibraltar.”

Like that.

“Pick up your gun. Be the vanguard to take over Nostrum.”

I came to stand side by side with the emperor.

“I’m bored, let’s talk while we go.”

The other person was the emperor of the empire, but I decided to spend time talking about various things just to please him.

At that time.

Maybe I shouldn’t have told the story.

From then on, I had to stay close to the Emperor for almost 24 hours until the end of the war.

#100-02-18.

About a week from the day the gates of the canyon opened and the imperial army occupied Gibraltar.

Gibraltar suffered great chaos, but thanks to my father’s personal control of the people, the people of the County of Gibraltar were embarrassed but did not cause any major problems.

“Did you say that the knight who knelt down and shouted at you and the earl was Sir Robert?”

“Was it that kind of name?”

“Yes. Nostrum has lost someone precious.”

Although there was no opposition at all, the emperor did not touch Gibraltar as much as possible, as he promised.

“You must have been born in the empire.”

Instead, Nostrum was thoroughly trampled.

“I never thought muskets would be so effective against Nostrum’s Golden Cavalry.”

“It was just an application of what I learned at the academy.”

I simply recited whatever came to mind to the imperial troops who were struggling more than expected, and surprisingly, it had quite a big effect.

“Did they teach you something like this at the academy?”

“It was the result of looking at what the academy was doing and thinking about how I could put these idiots out of their heads.”

Haha!!”

Somehow, I ended up falling in love with the emperor.

There was no particular intention.

I was just randomly venting out the anger that had built up over the three years of the academy.

The antipathy and anger toward Nostrum caused by Naria’s refusal to publicly confess was simply vented in the form of tactical suggestions for the war against the Kingdom of Nostrum.

“The plan to deal with the Drakes is truly perfect. If I had known that the drakes were such a troublesome bunch of idiots, I wouldn’t have made the plan.”

“This is a dragoon corps that is the pride of Nostrum.”

“Is this bragging?”

“It’s a mockery.”

The premise of some plans was wrong.

“Do we need to chase the enemy in case he escapes to the Blue Field? Don’t worry. Just three pieces of biscuits can replace a meal. And they can be supplied quickly.”

“Then there is no need to chase after their inducements, we can just advance to the capital.”

“Attracted?”

“I’m telling you to follow me while wagging your tail. Don’t go to the royal road, but come to my castle and deal with me.”

“I see. Ignore it and continue to the royal road.”

At times, he changed his perception of the differences in perspectives between the kingdom and the empire and used that to lead the battlefield to an advantageous position.

“The Marquis of Claydoll is impatient and cruel, but he is a cool-headed man. Send him to the territory of the Marquis of Roland. If you chop off the Marquis of Roland’s head with an ax, the door will open right away.”

“How about sending Lord Mente to Morgania? She was kicked out of Morgania in the past.”

“Rather than antipathy toward Morgania, he seemed to have antipathy toward knight culture as a whole. Just keep him in the middle army and use him when necessary.”

“I see. Swinging your sword at random at Nostrum does not mean you lack determination.”

“It’s a matter of efficiency rather than determination.”

“Efficiency? … Great, of course. It’s fun, it’s fun.”

Sometimes, he studied the organization of the imperial army and gave advice on invasions of the empire based on the organization.

“… If it’s the Aviles fief, I’ll write a letter. The eldest daughter of the fief there was quite involved with me at the Academy, so hopefully she’ll surrender.”

“What if I can’t do it?”

“He’s probably trying to impress me by secretly putting poison in his father’s drinking cup. As a bonus, he’s leaving the castle gates a little open as well.”

Haha!!”

The emperor turned a blind eye.

“Yes, I will do that. Haha, originally I was going to send a master to wipe them out, but I will accept your offer.”

Knowing that it was a crude plan to save the people of the territory through the death of one lord who said he would fight to the death and tried to bury the people of the territory with the nostrum, he accepted my suggestion as much as possible.

And the moment I arrived at the royal capital after fighting with several lords for a week.

“They say Saint Geo Nostrum has escaped!”

“…”

“It was as expected. No, I ended up doing something even worse than expected.”

The Habsburg emperor was more surprised than ever by the scout’s report, and I just laughed at the incompetent king’s actions his.

And.

When his father came to Gibraltar in person, he said he would come to kill such an incompetent king.

If I had known, would I have stopped it?

Or maybe I said I would go back to Gibraltar.

March 18th, 100th year of the imperial calendar.

Nostrum was destroyed.

And that day was the day his mother died.

Why did her mother die?

The cause of death is known to be suicide, but no one knows whether her mother committed suicide.

The time it took for him to take his own life was too short for the news that the incompetent king had been executed.

I also thought that perhaps the incompetent king had secretly given orders to his subordinates.

By using the person assigned to her mother, even if she disappeared, she tried to kill her mother to prevent her father from using her again.

My father collapsed.

Even though her younger siblings knew that her mother was dead, they did not believe her.

In the end, I was the only one who could clean things up.

“Countess.”

She couldn’t remember the last time she called her mother, and it was too uncomfortable to recall the past 10 years to call her a countess.

“Is this revenge on the Crimson Margrave for not loving you?”

I thought so at the time.

Whether the mother chose to die herself or was murdered by someone else, ultimately, all the actions her mother committed over the past 10 years were due to love.

What can someone who thinks they have been betrayed by love do when they fall into an extreme way of thinking?

I learned that while collecting my mother’s body.

I buried my mother in her chest 10 years ago, and 10 years later I buried her in her own land.

The tears did not flow.
