Episode 1377. Please stop interfering in our internal affairs.
Elio glanced at Fabian.
I thought Baron Sophia’s appointment was strange, but I also thought I knew why I didn’t suspect it.
In the end, I didn’t worry about it because it was a good thing for me.
But why did the Adriatic Kingdom remove Baron Sophia?
They went to great lengths to pair Baron Sofia with Fabian.
And finally, Baroness Sophia became pregnant.
Things turned out as the Adriatic Kingdom had hoped, but they suddenly abandoned Baron Sophia.
‘I also predicted that Fabian would not dig deep.’
I was curious but not impatient.
Anyway, I would find out when I went to Crasion Castle and met the Prime Minister.
***
The royal city of Krazion.
central hall.
Raoul Brosnan, King of the Adriatic Kingdom, looked around at the King and his representatives who had responded to the emergency invitation.
The Kingdom of Shade and Urum had their kings attend in person, while the Kingdoms of Tamim and Astania sent ‘the king’s plenipotentiary representative.’
The King of the Shade Kingdom was staying in Krazion, so it was natural, but the King of the Urum Kingdom was a bit surprising.
King Raoul Brosnan had thought that the Kingdom of Urum would send a representative like Tamim or Astania.
In any case, it is a good result considering that it was an urgent request due to the circumstances of the Adriatic Kingdom.
King Raoul Brosnan sent a glance to Prime Minister, Marquis Carloman Blas.
As if he had been waiting, Marquis Carloman Blas stepped forward.
After bowing to the kings and the ‘king’s plenipotentiary representatives’, he explained the secret deal with the magic tower involved in Baron Sophia’s warriors and the catastrophic situation it had led to.
“… … So, Count Lagoa is coming up to Krasion Castle. I understand that you are upset that Baroness Sophia, who was pregnant with Baron Cloud’s child, was disposed of. But isn’t it too much to interfere with the internal affairs of the warring Adriatic kingdom? There were many casualties not only from the Adria royal family but also from our blood relatives. The same would apply to the royal families and noble families of the various southern kingdoms. However, we accept it as a natural duty of nobles.”
The Prime Minister paused for a moment and looked at the atmosphere.
The kings and the ‘king’s plenipotentiary representatives’ were nodding.
After confirming the positive response, the Prime Minister slowly got to the point.
“The Grand Master, Count Lagoa, seems to think that his vassals are more valuable than the royal families and great nobles of the Southern Kingdom. So, he may be saying that he will take issue with the fact that his vassal’s woman died in battle. Even though Count Lagoa has nothing to do with the Adriatic Kingdom army… … He summarily executed the Chief of Staff of the Skull Legion and removed the Legion commander from office. His next target is me, the Prime Minister, and the King of the Adriatic Kingdom.”
“… … .”
A heavy silence settled over the central hall.
“I offer my earnest request to His Majesty the King and his plenipotentiary representatives. Please stand on the side of our Adriatic Kingdom. If you do so, I will share Adria’s steel golem with your kingdom.”
The Prime Minister’s initial plan was to distribute the steel golems.
However, it was pointed out that if the steel golems were spread out too much, their power would weaken, so they were changed to shared.
The eyes of the kings and their plenipotentiary representatives sparkled at the words, ‘We will share the steel golem.’
“After Exitium was distributed, the Empire no longer pays attention to Count Lagoa. However, our southern kingdom does not yet have the means to check the tyranny of the Grand Master. Count Lagoa probably knows that too and comes out like that. But sooner or later we, like the Imperial Army, will acquire strategic weapons. At that time, you no longer have to worry about Count Lagoa. Until then, the southern kingdoms must stand together as a united force against Count Lagoa’s tyranny. Now that relations with the Empire have soured, the only place that is friendly to Count Lagoa is our southern kingdom. If we speak with one voice, Count Lagoa will no longer be able to run wild. Judging by Count Lagoa’s actions so far, interference in internal affairs will not occur only in the Adriatic Kingdom. We, the Southern Kingdoms, must take this opportunity to show Count Lagoa our resolve. Do not interfere in the internal affairs of the Southern Kingdom! “Don’t get involved in the affairs of the Adriwa Kingdom!”
The kings and the ‘king’s plenipotentiary representatives’ applauded in unison.
A satisfied smile appeared on King Raoul Brosnan’s lips.
In fact, this was a somewhat predictable ending.
Count Elio Lagoa is a Grand Master, the pinnacle of knighthood.
However, as Exitium is released, knights and wizards are in decline.
The day is not far when strategic weapons similar to Exitium will be supplied to the Southern Kingdom.
From then on, the Southern Kingdoms would no longer have to pay attention to the Grand Master.
In the coming world, not strong knights, but those with strong armies would stand at the peak of power.
***
Noon the next day.
Elio and his party, who left Servo, finally arrived at Crasion Castle.
Elio and his party went straight to the royal castle without any time to rest.
Elio entered the central hall and took a quick look around the interior.
I thought King Raoul Brosnan and the Prime Minister would be there, but surprisingly there were a lot of people.
The chancellor, Marquis Carloman Blas, introduced the two kings and two ‘king’s plenipotentiary representatives’ to Elio and his party.
After greeting each other, Marquis Carloman Blas spoke.
“Even so, I tried to serve Count Lagoa in the name of the Southern Kingdom Union. “You came to me at the right time.”
“For what reason?”
Then King Raoul Brosnan of the Adriatic Kingdom came forward.
“It’s because of what the Count did in Cervo. I heard that the Count removed the commander of the Skull Legion from his position and summarily judged his chief of staff. “Is it all true?”
“So?”
“Which King of the South gave Count Lagoa the authority to do that? Don’t you know that this is serious interference in internal affairs?”
“aha!”
Elio nodded with a frivolous exclamation.
Now it looks like King Raoul Brosnan and the Prime Minister are planning to frame Baroness Sophia’s case as interference in internal affairs.
If you think about it, it wasn’t wrong.
Because he had no relationship with the Southern Kingdom.
The King of Urum Kingdom, who was watching Count Elio Lagoa’s reaction, spoke cautiously.
“Count, I also feel sorry for Baroness Sophia. But is Baron Sophia the only one killed in this war? I heard that more than ten people were killed in the Brosnan family and the Marquis de Blas. But no one has an issue with the fact that he was killed in action. Unless you think other royal families and great nobles are as bad as Baron Sophia, let’s cover it at this point. “If we have internal divisions over this issue, only the Imperial Army will like it.”
“Your Majesty, Baron Sophia was not killed in action, but murdered. Because her vizier had ordered her to kill Baron Sophia, her legionaries and her chief of staff drove her to her death. “Do they call that kind of thing a warrior in the Southern Kingdom?”
Then this time, King Tamim’s plenipotentiary representative came forward.
“Earl, right now our southern kingdoms are at war with the imperial army. Have you ever thought that there might be an unavoidable reason for the Prime Minister’s decision?”
“Is there any reason to drive out a noble loyal to the kingdom and kill him?”
“Prime Minister, please answer. “Did you tell me to kill Baron Sophia out of personal feelings?”
Then the Prime Minister, Marquis Carloman Blas, shook his head.
“Baron Sophia and I don’t know each other personally, so how could we do that out of personal feelings?”
The plenipotentiary representative of King Tamim turned to Count Lagoa.
“I guess so.”
Elio said, glaring at the Prime Minister.
“good. Even so, I was curious the whole way. Tell me why you ordered Baron Sophia to be killed. “I will decide whether to kill or save after hearing the answer.”
Marquis Carloman Blas moistened his dry lips with his tongue.
He instinctively knew that this was his last chance.
Count Elio Lagoa was a man who could kill himself even in front of kings.
“The imperial army was organized around the musketeers, and Exitium was supplied to the musketeers. Since then, the Southern Kingdom has never won a single battle. “Half of the steel golems have been destroyed or rendered inoperable.”
“That’s a long introduction.”
“The Southern Kingdom Army is also about to complete the development of a new weapon similar to the Exitium. However, the Southern Kingdom absolutely lacks magic guns to use the new weapons. Then, Magic Tower contacted me saying they were selling magic guns. On the condition of dealing with Baron Sophia… … .”
“Which magic tower put up such evil conditions?”
“I can’t tell you about it because it concerns the safety of the kingdom.”
The Prime Minister did not teach him because he was afraid that Count Lagoa would visit the Magic Tower and cause trouble.
When the story was over, the plenipotentiary representative of the King of Astania spoke.
“We, the Southern Kingdoms, respect and support the decision of the Adriatic Kingdom. Count Lagoa, please no longer interfere in the internal affairs of the Southern Kingdom.”
Elio looked back at Count Larva Omar with a bewildered expression.
Then Count Omar shrugged his shoulders with an embarrassed look on his face.
In this situation, there can be no sharp solution.
‘Things got quite messy.’
I guessed that there must be a reason why it couldn’t be avoided, but I never thought it was the Magic Tower’s request!
Elio, who did not get the answer he expected from Count Omar, turned his head to the chancellor again.
When I saw the Prime Minister standing with a shameless face, I was like, ‘I’m crying!’ I got angry.
“So, ‘for the sake of your relationship with the Magic Tower, you broke up your relationship with me’?”
“… … .”
Marquis Carloman Blas had no excuse.
Although his words were extreme, they were ultimately correct.
“In other words, you were more afraid of the Magic Tower than me, so you killed Fabian’s wife?”
“omg! That’s not it. Besides, isn’t it someone else who will marry Baron Cloud?”
“I don’t know about the future, but at the time you were conspiring to kill Baron Sophia, Fabian was planning to marry Baron Sophia. yes? Fabian?”
Fabian reluctantly nodded to Elio’s question.
“I guess so.”
As the conversation took an unexpected turn, the King of Urum Kingdom spoke.
“I repeat, we, the Southern Kingdoms, support the decision made by the Kingdom of Adriatic. “In the name of the southern kingdoms, please stop interfering in the internal affairs of the Adriatic kingdom.”
“What if you can’t do that?”
The King of Urum Kingdom frowned at Elio’s rebuttal.
This is because, no matter how grand master he is, this is an act that crosses the line.
Either way, Elio turned around and faced the Prime Minister.
“Killing my vassal’s wife is the same as insulting me. You said you did it because you needed a magic gun, but in reality, you thought I was easygoing. It’s only natural that this is an era where magic guns are treated more than knights’ swords. But if I stay still at times like this, I’ll become a real asshole.”
Marquis Carloman Blas took a step back at Count Lagoa’s meaningful words.
“Count Lagoa, calm down. If you kill me, the Adriatic Kingdom and the Southern Kingdoms will not remain silent.”
Marquis Carloman Blas glanced at the king repeatedly.
However, King Raoul Brosnan, the conspirator, tried to avoid his gaze.
As the King, his only lifeline, turned away, the Prime Minister turned and ran away.
For now, all I could think about was saving face and other things.
Elio picked up a nearby silver candlestick and threw it.
‘evil!’ With a sound, the Prime Minister collapsed with a silver candlestick stuck in the back of his head.
King Raoul Brosnan, furious, grabbed the handle of the chair with all his might and swore.
‘I will definitely kill you at any time.’
