32 – Episode 32. Monthly regular meeting / Brans Army (3)
“Are you saying… To invade the North?”
For the first time, Farfalle was unable to hide her embarrassed expression.
It was as if he had heard something unexpected.
“Yes.”
The subjects who were listening to the discussion with bated breath began to mutter.
Iren was also looking at me in surprise.
It seemed like he didn’t expect to talk like this.
It has to be that way. Because I never thought I would say something like this.
“No… Mr. Swen. Do you know what you are talking about right now?”
Cold sweat was seen flowing from Farfalle’s forehead.
I couldn’t read anything about her as she is now, like she was overwhelming me with her force.
I was just flustered by the ridiculous topic I had brought up.
At that time.
‘Oh, maybe I can use this?’
I asked vaguely, choosing words that were as natural as possible and would not be strange.
“What are you talking about… What exactly are you talking about?”
“Do you think the best way is to send troops to the north and attack Serpina’s territory?”
How can you give such a good model answer?
I quickly typed in the question Farfalle asked.
‘Is sending troops to the north to attack Serpina’s territory the most efficient method at this point?’
Question has been entered.
In that case, the conclusion is only printed.
[Yes.]
‘As expected.’
I thought it would be the case since it was inferred by cutting out, cutting out, cutting out things that weren’t there in the first place, but since it was just a guess based on my personal experience without using predictions, my confidence was a bit low.
Now that you have a brain with 100 points of intelligence, there is no need to hesitate anymore.
The best move the Brans army could make this month was to attack Serpina’s territory in the north.
Of course I don’t know the reason.
Perhaps she knew I was thinking this or not, Farfalle spoke with a slightly faster voice than before.
“With our current national power, we cannot invade any castle in the north. In proportion to the vast territory of the Serpina army, we are significantly outnumbered in the total number of soldiers, and even those soldiers are rapidly conquering the north and also in the north. They are skilled soldiers of Serpina’s army who have gained experience by suppressing sporadic rebellions. It is said that the soldiers of our army have also gained experience through many battles… But since she has repeatedly conducted conquest activities in a much more belligerent manner, the soldiers’ skill level is low. “It would be correct to say that they are one step above.”
Furthermore, there was a high probability that they would have captured all of the mercenary groups based in the northern continent.
It seemed like he didn’t know that yet.
“Furthermore, let’s say that you somehow made a sortie from Kelstein Castle. The closest place that can be attacked would be Cherien Castle in the northeast. There are currently about 40,000 troops stationed there, so a siege is necessary. Considering this, we need to prepare at least 70,000 to 80,000 men, right? If we gather more troops and then add all the troops from small castles close to the northern front, it wouldn’t be an impossible number. If we do that, Kel will inevitably end up with an empty house. “There is no way we can just sit back and watch from Chorel Castle and its lintel forts to the northwest of Stein Castle.”
After saying that, she took a deep breath.
It looks like you were quite embarrassed by my opinion.
“To prevent that, well, we can just withdraw soldiers from other borders. There are still armistice agreements remaining with other countries on the border, but that will all come to an end soon. And invading the northern castle is just a matter of distance away. “Whether you look at it in terms of personnel or troops, it can never be organized in such a short period of time. Serpina County is not a weak country.”
After saying that, she looked straight into my eyes and said.
“So, I don’t understand at all why Swen made that opinion. If you have any basis for it, I’d like to hear it. Why did you make that judgment?”
The basis.
There is no basis.
Just because my prediction said so.
But- Luna is not here.
Lyn Brans would not trust me so blindly.
No, if you think about it calmly – it would be correct to say that, except for Luna, there is no one who would blindly believe my absurd story.
Then we need to say something.
I don’t know if I had time to think slowly about the confirmed prediction and come up with a plausible story – but right now, there was too little information about why that was the case.
Then what should I say?
The moment when I looked at her eyes without avoiding them while thinking like that.
“That’s all.”
Lin’s voice came from behind.
When I came to her senses, she was already walking closer to us.
It seemed like neither I nor Farfalle noticed because we were concentrating on talking to each other.
“The story is getting too long, so I’ll end it here for now. Are you both okay?”
Ending the discussion here?
I read Rin’s thoughts without difficulty.
‘It looks like you don’t want to be persuaded by my story.’
Because the new topic was so unconventional, there was a high possibility that future discussions would revolve around me.
Since she didn’t have any sense of overestimating me, she probably thought she would come up with some persuasive plan.
Then the subjects would have had no choice but to be persuaded.
So, are you trying to prevent my story – that is, Irene’s story – from becoming a monthly policy?
It was a truly unscrupulous act for a monarch, but considering Rin’s attitude toward Irene so far, it was quite likely.
But.
First of all, the very idea that I was going to talk about a persuasive plan was a huge misunderstanding on her part.
I’ve only just gained confidence, and I haven’t even thought about why it happens.
But, that illusion – I have no choice but to take advantage of it.
“I am…”
“If it’s what my lord says, I’m fine.”
I responded by hitting the player first.
Farfalle looked at me with hesitation, but then nodded his head and said.
“…I’m fine too.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Lin was a monarch who was not without arrogance.
A monarch who would not tolerate anything that goes against his will.
It was not difficult to see this from the way she treated Irene just because she did not like her.
Farfalle, who assists her closely, probably knows better than me.
“Okay, then I’ll ask you all. I think Farfalle’s opinion would be better, behemoth.”
At her words, the crowd all raised their hands.
There wasn’t much difference from before.
“Next. I think it would be a good idea to change it according to Iren’s opinion, behemoth.”
And this time, no one raised their hand.
This was a fully expected result since the discussion ended at this point.
Well, it didn’t matter. Wouldn’t my life change just because Brands doesn’t make the best choice?
It was them who were disappointed, not me.
“…This is the decision, Swen. There was no clear winner of the debate, but I think it’s fair to say that Farfalle had the upper hand. I guess you didn’t convince people.”
I put on my most humble expression, bowed my head, and answered in the most polite voice I could muster.
“How dare I win a debate against Mr. Farfalle? I’m just satisfied with having learned a bit.”
“…….”
The look in Farfalle’s eyes when she looked at me like that was unusual…….
Anyway, I somehow seemed to get over this situation well.
Anyway, it’s enough for me as long as I can gain Irene’s favorability.
The discussion ended like that.
I slowly returned to the seat behind Irene.
She was looking at me with great concern as I returned.
It’s okay if you don’t worry that much.
Rin shouted loudly as if to brighten her mood.
“Our military’s code of conduct for this month is ‘Attack Balharat Castle.’ So that we can do our best in our respective positions.”
“”Yes! All right!””
After the greetings of the subordinates echoed in the palace.
Lin raised her hand and said.
“Then, next is the distribution of each person’s roles. I posted what to do on the castle wall so you can check. This concludes the monthly meeting. Thank you all for your hard work.”
With that said-
For me, the first Brans County monthly meeting has ended.
* * *
The subordinates who participated in the meeting have left, and the royal castle has become a bit deserted except for the guards guarding it.
There, Farfalle was wandering around him with a serious expression.
‘Swen…… ‘How on earth does he know everything?’
Although he tried to be as discreet as possible during the discussion, everything he said at the beginning of the discussion was correct.
Charam-gun’s secret contract proposal.
A long time ago, a messenger who brought gold for the purpose of promoting friendship secretly told me about a grand plan.
He said it would be difficult to talk in front of the monarch, but he hinted that he would only tell me first.
At that time, I also heard that the Aethius Army was planning to invade Alefel County.
And certainly.
After hearing Swen’s words, I felt somewhat persuaded.
Why has the Aishous military left such a weak country unoccupied until now?
I would rather not occupy it…… It’s natural that we couldn’t occupy it.
If so, what is the reason?
Yes.
Up to that point, I was definitely admiring the man named Swen.
Up until then, I felt like I could understand that his master, Rin, didn’t care so much for no reason.
Until Swen said, ‘We must attack Serphina’s territory.’
‘That’s a ridiculous opinion.’
In a debate, isn’t it difficult to see a way to shake the other person’s mind by coming up with absurd opinions?
I don’t know how on earth he realized he had received such an offer, but I could only think that his words bordered on bravado.
At that time.
“Farfalle.”
“Yes?”
Lin, who was sitting on the throne, opened her mouth.
“What do you think? Swen’s opinion.”
“Are you of the opinion that we should attack Serpina’s territory in the north?”
“Yes.”
Farfalle answered straight away without even thinking.
“This is a very unrealistic proposal. Didn’t your lord think so in the first place and cut off the discussion midway?”
“…What…”
The answer was somewhat uncomfortable, but I had no intention of changing my opinion.
“You don’t have to worry about the northern part now. In return for your trust, Farfalle, I will definitely put Balharat Castle in your hands.”
“…….”
Rin was lost in her thoughts without answering.
And then I think.
‘Why did I end the discussion in the middle?’
Lin knew very well that the man named Swen was unusual.
In the first place, he was a man who seemed to know the information that the Northern Serpina Army would attack the Brans Army.
Then, isn’t there a source of information in the North?
I can’t guess for sure, but I was able to find out the situation and situation in the North in some way – wasn’t he speaking based on that?
That’s right, the humiliating armistice agreement at that time would not have come to fruition unless a ‘miracle’ of that magnitude had been performed.
So, even if it is such an absurd opinion…… Maybe, this is a really possible opinion. That’s what I was thinking deep down.
But.
Swen did not come up there with her own opinion.
Swen’s opinion is…… Strictly speaking, it was Irene’s opinion.
If Swen wins the debate and convinces us all, won’t Brans make Irene’s proposal his monthly platform?
I hated that.
Even though she always made cool judgments for the country, her judgment became clouded whenever a woman named Irene Juliet became involved.
Swen’s prediction was correct.
Of course.
Aside from her own dislike of Irene – if Swen’s words were to be believed, she too would change her opinion.
In the first place, wasn’t she just guessing and saying that she could find out the situation or circumstances through some kind of method, a ridiculous nonsense?
No matter how much he recommended Swen, he couldn’t be trusted unconditionally without an accurate basis.
Swen was not the only one of her subjects, and there were quite a few agents, including Farfalle, the representative agent of Brans County.
Even so, she couldn’t completely ignore his opinion, as it was what Swen said, which seemed to Lin to have a strange insight.
‘Considering that something might happen in the north, it would be a good idea to bring some soldiers.’
We won’t send as many troops as Irene suggested, but-
I thought it would be okay to send a small portion of the troops to invade the Aishous army.
Come to think of it, Swen was staying in the same house as Irene.

Seeing as neither of you are saying anything, are you just getting along well?
When Irene came first and said she was sorry or that Swen was uncomfortable staying with her, she thought about making it more convenient, but-
If you don’t come, what can I do?
‘…… It’s okay.’
Lin was a very stubborn woman.
She is the kind of person who, as long as the two of you are satisfied, she doesn’t think about changing it.
Her confrontational personality was a factor that increased her charisma as a leader, but it also had the side effect of making tight decisions in strange places.
And in that respect – her evaluation of Swen, who did not necessarily come to her, was becoming more and more subtle.
‘Swen. Are you the man who can be mine, or are you the man who can’t be mine…… I think I need some time to find out more.’
No matter how capable you are, if it cannot ultimately be mine, then……
She thought so and twisted her hair.
It was her habit to do when she had a lot to think about.
