Chapter 232 – Meetings
In the first place, they are not close friends, much less one side is not a place where one force has the initiative.
Of course, I don’t think the relationship between the two is that close.
If we intervene, they break each other?
“If you can, try it.”
That’s what we mean
* * *
A key member of the three-earl family alliance.
“It must be spectacular when we gather like this.”
Earl Harry Bohrin laughs cheerfully.
“Three counts, one marquis, and the royal family…”
Count Aidan Franz holding up a teacup with a soft smile.
Haha. It’s the first time I’ve felt like I wish I was a little younger than I am today.”
The Marquis of Agrylppa smiles bitterly.
“Then let’s start the meeting now.”
And as the center of the current three-earl family union, it is I, Earl Leoric Hyperion, who has them under my command.
“I would like to greet today’s guest first. The princess of the Bahnian royal family of the Baheun Kingdom. This is Amelia Bahnia.”
At the same time as I said, everyone’s eyes turned to one side.
A princess who has grown into a full-fledged woman now. Amelia Bahnia is somber-eyed and she makes eye contact with them.
“Bahnia of the sea. As the second princess, she is a princess who has been fiercely defeated in the battle for succession. She wishes you well.”
Perhaps Count Harry was the only one who stroked his chin at the words of Princess Amelia, who knew how to smile faintly, as if she had gotten better at expressing emotions now.
“It’s a succession fight. Should we call it a succession fight?”
“Hmm. Does Count Bohrin know something? I’m sorry for Princess Bahnia, but as her old body, she’s deaf when it comes to things outside the capital.”
Count Harry smiled at Marquis Agrylppa’s words.
“It is a problem that the young blood is overflowing, and the old blood is also a problem. Not to mention, even the rotten blood is stuck everywhere, so it means that bloodletting is effective once. Marquis.”
“Huh. In other words?”
The eyes of the Marquis of Agrylppa shone.
He looks at the princess as if he is having fun. As everyone’s attention focused, Princess Amelia also opened her mouth.
“It is a gift.”
“Cool!”
Coke! Coke!
I almost spit out the tea I was drinking.
Despite such a reaction, everyone is looking at the princess without looking away.
The princess was staring at me.
‘Do you think I’m cute?’
Oh god
“The ruling power of the Bahnia royal family is strong. She is living her peaceful years under the reign of her mother, her current queen.”
“Hmm. Is the kingdom of Baheun strong?”
The Marquis of Agrylppa bit her tongue in pity.
“But there is rotten blood in a place like that. The red-blooded collaborator was like that.”
After that, there was King Bastian, but there is a local person who fell for the trick anyway. Did you clean it this time?
“It’s not that my faction didn’t exist, but the power of my older brother, the first prince and current successor, was very strong. Had he been stupid he would have had a chance, but he is needlessly smart.”
Chit.
Princess Amelia clicked her tongue as she remembered her own brother.
“Of course, if there is a gap, I intend to take it as it is, but in the end, I didn’t show that gap. As the result of the agreement with her mother, we started a water change under the guise of her succession fight.”
While wiping away the red blood of the kingdom of Baheun, the dissatisfied forces in the current system are also cleaned up.
“And the remaining talent. They brought in aristocrats on the brink of retirement who were handing over their positions to their successors, or young talents who wanted a new position in a new land. Of course, it’s not a lot, but listening to your story, isn’t there a shortage of people?”
Princess Amelia nodded at her words.
Talent is always in short supply.
Princess Amelia looks at me with a smile satisfied with my reaction.
“So it is a gift. I wish you well in the future.”
Hot eyes looking at me. If you don’t know this, you are not a man.
“That’s great.”
Count Harry sighed.
“Are you really from Count Franz’s bloodline?”
“Looking at the outside, isn’t it Franz?”
Aidan hyung-nim received it generously.
“We gave up on being so passionate about sex. Aren’t you respectful?”
“Excellent! He is truly fulfilling his responsibilities and duties as a male aristocrat! How cool!”
“Um… Am I weird?”
Count Harry held his forehead at the sight of Aidan and the Marquis of Agrylpa, who were impressed.
“Haha. They are truly the children of father and mother. Well, this story has ended here, so we have two paths.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on my words.
Spread your fingers.
“First.”
Same as before.
“Conquest of the South.”
In any case, considering the current situation in the South, it cannot be maintained as it is.
Of course, it’s not a 100% story.
“Perhaps. It’s a low probability, but you can keep the peace by concluding an armistice with the Confederacy of Southern Nobles.”
As long as it’s only the Confederacy of Southern Nobles.
“During the banquet, I talked to nobles belonging to the Confederation of Southern Nobles, and to Princess Maya Thoth, but the fact that there are too many nobles belonging to them is not that strong.”
But not ignorant
Even for the sake of life and lineage, there is no way to divide the power itself.
Even if it falls to us or Count Thoth’s army, the one who betrayed once won’t be placed in an important position.
“The problem is the capital.”
At my words, not only brother Aidan and Count Harry, but also the Marquis of Agrylppa and Princess Amelia hardened their faces.
He explained the circumstances to some extent to Princess Amelia.
“Currently quiet, but the mad king… Excuse me. Your Excellency, Marquis of Agrylppa.”
“No, it’s okay… Count Hyperion. Even if he’s truly crazy, it’s not wrong.”
Marquis Agrylpa sighed and closed her eyes, and the conversation resumed.
“King Bastian is currently quiet, but he will definitely move again. He wouldn’t mind if it was simply to increase his own power, but looking at King Bastian’s condition, he wouldn’t be aiming for the north, and the remaining areas would be the east and south.”
East has already closed the bar in a unified state.
Should the greedy Marquis of the East step forward first, or wait for his own safety? It’s hard to predict that.
“To deal with the king, he is not good enough in his current state.”
The Confederacy of Confederate Nobles may bow to the King at any time. In the first place, regardless of the state of the king, the cause is right there.
The question is, does the king want that?
“Anyway, you don’t want us to bow our heads.”
If we do something like that, we will surely be disappointed, and we cannot predict what King Bastian will do after he has no opponent.
“So we must unify the South.”
That is the first way, and disobeying the will of Heaven.
“Treason.”
At my words, all the nobles were lost in their own thoughts.
Treason. If it succeeds, it will be a revolution, but if it fails, it will end not only one’s own life, but also the most important lineage for the nobility of this world.
When a brief silence reigned in the room, I spread another finger.
“Second.”
The arrival of Princess Amelia.
“This is the appearance of the Barheun Kingdom.”
Officially, Princess Amelia was defeated in the battle for succession in Barheun Kingdom, but her formal title itself did not disappear.
Originally, even if they were members of the royal family, as long as they were at full strength, staying in the capital would be permitted as long as they were not on bad terms.
However, even though it was planned, she cannot be allowed to stay in the capital now that she has lost the battle for succession. So, the current state of being the owner of the territory of Lake Rainia, the great lake of Barheun Kingdom. It is only part of the lake.
“But it’s not bad.”
“Ahem.”
At my words, Princess Amelia opened her breasts.
As more than half a year passed, she became a tall and slender beauty, but her breasts…
“There was actually a story about that from the beginning.”
“From the beginning?”
She nodded her head at the words of the Marquis of Agrylppa. It is famous that Princess Amelia appeared at my coming-of-age ceremony, but no one knows the details of her circumstances.
“Of course, I didn’t know that I would grow this far. I probably thought of her as a simple sire at first.”
“Hoo. Indeed…”
And when he came to rule Müller, the direction changed a bit.
“After conquering Aslan, he had a direct connection, so he must have been more coveted.”
“Because it can solve Baheun’s food to some extent.”
At Aidan’s words, she nodded her head.
There is no change in trade, but the reliability of the transaction increases.
“Kuhm.”
The Marquis of Agrylppa put on a disapproving expression, but did not raise a voice against it.
“What then?”
“Princess Amelia will explain.”
“You can call me Ame.”
“… Princess Ame will explain.”
“Good night. Let’s be content with that for now. Then the meaning of our kingdom is simple.”
Princess Amelia opened her mouth proudly.
“Marry me.”
It was embarrassing, but I expected it.
But that’s not all.
Swoop!
Princess Amelia reached out to me and opened her mouth.
“Be the king of this new land.”
King.
“Become the princess as my sire.”
Ruler of this land.
“Let’s become a country where the sun rises.”
Become the king of the principality.
