Episode 1381. Your Excellency, Count Lagoa, please lead the Northern Kingdom army.
Fabian, who belatedly saw Viscount Osburn Carlos, jumped up from his seat.
“Viscount.”
For Fabian, Baron of Escatos Kingdom, Viscount Osburn Carlos, the court wizard, was a very difficult person.
Viscount Osburn Carlos nodded at Fabian and then made eye contact with Count Elio Lagoa again.
Elio also got up from his seat.
It was natural, considering his long relationship with Viscount Osborne Carlos.
“long time no see. I had a good time. Please sit down.”
At Elio’s words, Fabian quietly moved to the side and made room for him.
Eventually, when Viscount Osburn Carlos sat down, Elio asked curiously.
“How is the situation in Hirhera? “I’m in the empire, so I can’t find out all the news from the North.”
“The ice wall has been completely restored. So most of the soldiers at Hirhera Garrison also returned to their territory. Currently, only one company of troops remains to monitor the garrison. “The soldiers are gone, so the merchants in the garrison village are in an uproar, threatening to die.”
“ah… … . “It ended up happening that way.”
Elio shook his head.
I thought the Hirhera garrison would decline at any moment.
A city was suddenly created as a result of a rift, with the territory soldiers gathering, but honestly, it is not a place for someone named Hirhe to live.
As the crack disappeared and the Northern Kingdom’s army returned, the city would soon fall.
It is an incredible reality that a city develops only when a crisis occurs.
Suddenly, Viscount Osburn Carlos turned to Baron Fabian Cloud.
“Oh, and Baron Cloud. Do you remember Lord Serra?”
“yes?”
“Sir Sarah Lore, Commander of the Phantom Knights.”
“Yes, of course I remember.”
Osburn Carlos then continued speaking with a meaningful look on his face.
“When the Baron was discharged from the military, he was sent down to his territory, but he recently returned to the Phantom Knights.”
“… … .”
“Aren’t you curious about the reason?”
“Why did you go back?”
“They say they came back because they couldn’t contact the Baron. It seems like you can’t contact the baron at the estate? It’s not wrong. Because you can come to the palace and deliver the news through me. Receive it. “It’s a letter from her.”
Viscount Osburn Carlos took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fabian.
Fabian received the letter with a embarrassed expression.
Viscount Osborne Carlos, who saw Fabian like that, said with a shocked face.
“I heard that Sir Sarah is in love with the Baron… … . Looking at the Baron’s expression, I guess that wasn’t the case. “If Sir Sarah’s courtship was one-sided, I would have done something funny in the middle.”
Elio glanced at Viscount Osburn Carlos at his overly self-deprecating words.
If you leave a letter to the court wizard, you must have become very close with him.
In that case, it was clear that those words were a rebuke for Fabian’s attitude.
Elio stepped forward to replace Fabian, who was at a loss.
“It’s true that you two dated when you were in Hirhera. “I saw it all from the side.”
“Then that’s a relief. “I was starting to regret that I had done something for nothing.”
Court wizard Viscount Osburn Kalos joked.
As he pushed Elio away, he revealed the truth.
“Baron Fabian is a bit flirtatious. Wherever I went, I would giggle whenever I saw a beautiful woman. “Lord Sarah said she must have forgotten herself, so she’s fine.”
“Oh my. Lord Sarah is not that kind of person… … . “What is this?”
Elio and Viscount Osburn Carlos’ gaze turned to Fabian.
Fabian’s mouth, which had been closed like a clam, finally opened.
“It’s all my fault. I will write a reply to Sir Sarah. If Viscount Carlos would take the trouble one more time… … “I would appreciate it.”
Then Viscount Osburn Carlos nodded willingly.
“I understand. “It’s not that difficult.”
After Fabian’s work was finished, Elio changed the topic.
“But what brings the court wizard of Escatos Kingdom here? “You probably didn’t come to deliver a love letter.”
“Actually, I came to see you because I have something important to tell you… … . There are so many people around… … .”
“Please go up to our room.”
“Wouldn’t the sound leak out?”
The story was so secret that Viscount Osburn Carlos didn’t even think about moving.
Elio said with a grin.
“I can block the sound of speech. “It’s possible here, but I’m afraid other people might think it’s strange, so I asked to go to my room.”
“ah! “If so, please show me to my room.”
Hearing Viscount Osburn Carlos’ words, Elio stood up.
After a while, Elio went up to his quarters on this floor and blocked the sound with spiritual energy.
“You may speak now.”
Viscount Osburn Carlos responded to the Grand Master’s assurance without hesitation.
“First of all, I would like to inform you that His Majesty King Escatos IV has elevated the title of Sir Elio Lagoa to Count. Befitting his title, he additionally bestowed Hir Hera as his fief. Now, I can say that the Count’s estate is bigger than Marquis Bernardo’s in terms of area alone. Of course, there is more useless land.”
Elio just stared blankly at Marquis Osburn Carlos.
Titles and territories didn’t mean much to him anyway.
What would you do if you were too greedy to leave everything behind when you return to your hometown?
“Of course, I know very well that His Excellency Count Lagoa is not greedy for title or territory. In the meantime, there was a lot of talk both inside and outside the royal palace about giving the hero of Escatos a title lower than that of the Empire. I would appreciate your understanding on that level.”
“That’s not all, is it?”
Elio looked at Viscount Osburn Carlos with meaningful eyes.
Is there anything free in this world?
just as expected?
“I heard there was a conflict with the Imperial Army. Also, you are in conflict with the crown prince. “Is this true?”
“you’re right. “I happened to destroy one of the prince’s favorite legions.”
“The Crown Prince is the person who will succeed Dexter Fraser II as Emperor. Not only is there no one in the royal family who can replace him, but the great nobles support him, so there is no problem with his accession to the throne.”
“They said so.”
“You became enemies with the crown prince… … . “The title you received from the empire will not last long.”
Viscount Osburn Carlos approached cautiously, wondering what he was going to say.
“does not matter. “I said I would return my title to the empire first.”
“Has something like that ever happened?”
Viscount Osburn Carlos’ expression softened.
I thought the Grand Master would be lost to the Empire, but it’s good to see that it’s the opposite.
“If I do anything, they talk about rebellion and all that. So, I told him to take a title because from now on, he will no longer be an imperial count, but only a northern noble.”
“Well done. “Please give up your imperial title now.”
“Did you come to say that?”
“The relationship between the Empire and the Northern Kingdom is getting worse.”
“Really?”
Elio asked back with a surprised look on his face.
Why would an empire that is at war with the southern kingdoms even touch the northern kingdoms?
“Not long ago, the northern kingdoms sent an envoy to the empire to mediate peace. As a result, I was rejected and returned. The Empire had no intention of ending the war with the southern kingdoms. Their goal is the complete occupation of the Southern Kingdom.”
“It’s not the Abyss… … “You mean the Southern Kingdom?”
“That’s right. The Northern Kingdoms also thought the Abyss was their goal at first… … . This time I found out for sure. Their goal is to eliminate the southern royal family and establish a principality. The Southern Kingdom will be followed by the Northern Kingdom. So the northern kingdoms are also gathering their armies.”
“Are you planning on going to war with the Empire?”
Elio frowned.
If the Southern Kingdom and then the Northern Kingdom join the war, war will sweep across the entire continent.
It is nothing compared to the back and forth between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom.
There will truly be chaos.
“If the Southern Kingdom falls, it will be the Northern Kingdom’s turn next. The northern kingdoms concluded, ‘If war cannot be avoided, it must be done now that the imperial army’s strength is dispersed.’”
“You’ve already come to a conclusion?”
“That’s right. Therefore, I have come to ask His Excellency to lead the Northern Kingdom army.”
“no… … I’ve endured it well so far, but why… … .”
Elio’s heart was heavy.
I don’t know the Northern Kingdom’s position, but it’s still war all of a sudden!
“What if you don’t know the purpose of the empire? “You can’t foolishly wait for your turn to come, right?”
Elio could not refute.
Although it was a sudden incident, it was entirely possible for the northern kingdoms.
They say they will eliminate the royal family and allow the empire to rule, but it would be foolish to remain silent.
“For the future of Escatos Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom, please have His Excellency Count Lagoa lead the Northern Kingdom army.”
Court wizard Osburn Carlos looked at Count Elio Lagoa with burning eyes.
The reason he came down to the islands was to spread this message.
Elio said after thinking for a while.
“I know what you mean… … “I cannot participate in this war.”
“May I ask why?”
“You know that I’ve been chasing the mastermind behind the crack all this time, right?”
“yes.”
“I learned something while chasing the mastermind behind the rift. “The rift and the current war happened for one purpose.”
“One purpose?”
“There is someone who wants to throw this world into chaos. “That is why rifts and wars were created.”
“Who is that being? “What do you have to gain by throwing this world into chaos?”
“I am Shaitin, the evil god. “I want to return this world to the state it was in before Manaptras.”
At those words, Viscount Osburn Carlos tilted his head.
Manatras created this world, but what was its previous state?
Elio briefly told the story he heard from the demon god Antar.
“… … I intend to eliminate Ushas Undra, the ‘spearhead of chaos’, and bring peace to this world. “If I participate in the war, the chaos will only increase.”
“I listened carefully to what your Excellency said. But if the person who said those words was a demon god… … . Shouldn’t we consider whether it’s true or false? “I may have confused His Excellency the Count with false information.”
“Unless the demon god lied… … The world will head towards destruction. Moreover, it is my mission to eliminate the ‘spearhead of confusion.’”
Viscount Osburn Carlos looked at Count Lagoa with a somewhat puzzled expression.
Do do do do now it is a mission.
‘Looking at their expressions, I don’t think they’re just saying this… … .’
I tried to take him to the Northern Kingdom, but I guess that was wrong.
“I understand what your Excellency means. It’s unfortunate, but given that’s our mission, we have to make concessions. For my part, I only ask that His Excellency the Count remember our Escatos Kingdom and its people.”
“I, too, am always grateful for my relationship with the Kingdom of Escatos.”
After finishing his story, Viscount Osburn Carlos turned to Baron Fabian Cloud.
“I will leave tomorrow morning. “Please have your reply ready by then.”
“yes.”
Elio asked as Viscount Osburn Carlos stood up.
“Last time, Marquis Bernardo came. Is he well?”
“You are well. This time, the Marquis is busy reorganizing the army… … . Since his face was known throughout the empire, everyone tried to dissuade him. In comparison, wizards have nothing to do, and these days they don’t get much attention, so it’s easy to come and go. haha.”
Elio smiled bitterly without realizing the somewhat empty laughter.
