Chapter 233 – Meetings – Part 2
“This land is too big to be considered as a mere territory.”
In addition, we will not stand still to take this land as the property of the kingdom of Baheun and hand it over to the kingdom’s retainers.
That’s why you wage a war of aggression on this land?
“There’s no way King Bastien can sit still.”
The reason the kingdom of Baheun stays still is because they are nice? Is it because you are friendly with me? No, no.
There are no good or bad international situations. Unless they’ve been friends for a long time… No, even if it’s an enemy, if there is a benefit to it, the story changes.
Even more so in this world. Because they don’t care that much about public opinion.
Countries close to Brahms include the Kingdom of Baheun and the Kingdom of Serot.
And both of them are very interested in this war.
“The Barheun Kingdom and the Serot Church are the same.”
They are just looking for an opening.
The southern region of the Kingdom of Brahms, famous for its leading food storage on the continent.
There is no country that does not want that land.
Still, the reason why it is quiet is because of only one existence, although there is also a geographical reason.
“The rumors of King Bastian have already spread enough.”
A king who makes war by wreaking havoc on his own country.
If a foreign force invades this opportunity, he is the king who will start a war of conquest with the neighboring country.
“There is a possibility of reuniting a country that would otherwise be divided on its own. Not to mention, if a king is crazy about war, considering the possibility that he will attack using that as a pretext, he cannot easily touch it.”
So it’s hard to touch on it.
So, I’m waiting for an opportunity.
The war is intensifying, and we are waiting for a timing that cannot be regarded as the same country, but there is a country with a different situation from the Kyokuguk.
Barne kingdom.
“I can’t go out strong because there is a situation that caused a nuisance due to the work of rescuing the kidnapped princess. So that…”
As a legitimate cause, I have a network that I can get along with and keep in touch with.
The second son of the family of Count Franz, who can be evaluated as the strongest of the forces in the south.
Leoric Franz.
A person who was later awakened by the magic of the sun and received the title of count.
One of the three powers that now rule the South.
And there was a means to legally strengthen that connection in Barheun Kingdom.
“It is me.”
As the second princess of the Bahnia clan, and herself also happy with the engagement, there was no reason for opposition from within.
Conceding a little of the waterway of Lake Rania and considering the royal lineage, it can be said that it is not a big gain, but on the contrary, the opponent is also a count-class mana possessor with the mana of the sun.
Considering the possibility even into the future, it is also an opportunity to use that lineage as a barheun.
“There.”
Princess Amelia took a picture of a section of the map on her desk.
The place is Brahms Kingdom.
“King Bastian might come out if he intervenes excessively, but we can make an ‘excuse’.’
Covert support is also possible.
However, it is a sweet poison. I don’t want my older brother or Count Harry.
Barheun Kingdom knows that, so I won’t use the expression active.
The Thoth family may also have a similar deal with the Celestial Kingdom, which they usually trade with.
However, unlike the place where they can be eaten if they show each other’s gains and gaps, the princess, a royal family, is in a state of self-reliance, and mutual trust is high.
“I think it’s a good deal.”
I closed my eyes at Princess Amelia’s words.
Is it a principality or a principality?
* * *
“The king of the principality. If not royalty level, wouldn’t you need at least duke level magic?”
It’s about being the representative of a faction.
Even though it’s exceptional among count-level magical powers, it’s still count-level.
That gap isn’t there.
At my words, Princess Amelia thought for a moment, then she looked at the Marquis and said,
“As the Marquis of Agrylppa would know, the difference in magical power between each rank, starting with the count level, is actually a difference of one wall.”
“Hmm…”
The Marquis of Agrylppa thought for a moment and then nodded.
“Anyone from Count Franz or Count Borin would understand, but it wouldn’t hurt to tell them… Isn’t this the kind of thing you realize simply because you know? … As Princess Amelia said, the difference between each class is one wall.”
“A wall?”
At that, I looked at Aidan and Count Harry, but they both nodded in agreement.
“It was also written in the vision of the Boring family. I used the expression altitude instead of wall. As a result, it’s a similar story, but it’s speculation about it or the result of research by each family head. Or there are research materials that transcend that limit.”
‘Wasn’t I the only one who didn’t know?’
At Count Harry’s words, Aidan said the same thing.
Seeing my expression like that, Aidan-hyung shook his head.
“I hope you don’t get upset. It’s not like I was deliberately cheating. My father was just worried.”
“Yes?”
Are you worried about your father?
“You became strong too quickly.”
“That…”
I have nothing to say about him.
I also know that my growth rate is unusual. But I know why.
He had the bloodline and talent of the Franz family, but above all, he had knowledge from his previous life.
“The fact that magical powers have characteristics is generally not something that can change instantly. It changes slowly over a long period of time, over generations.”
However, in an unprecedented moment, I awakened the magical power of the sun.
“My father’s early retirement was partly due to an arm injury, but also to see if you were safe from time to time by watching you.”
“That…”
“Leoric. Don’t forget Speaking in front of Princess Amelia is the same, but the appearance of a Duke of Charinaire.”
A Duke of Charinaire.
A duke-class mana holder in the form of a shark.
“It’s not that it’s bad. However, I don’t know what will happen to those who have been devoured by magical properties. The appearance may change, and the personality itself may change. In your case… It seemed that the Duke of Earthlane set the standard once in the middle.”
At those words, the Duke of Earthlane came forward and remembered the advice he had given me while performing the Earth Blessing Ceremony.
“Okay…”
“An objection. Being devoured by magic does not cause problems.”
Princess Amelia pouted.
Aidan hyung-nim lowered his head while smiling wryly at that appearance.
“Sorry. I was too concerned about my family.”
“No, I understand your concerns. We also have a lot of data about side effects related to this side. However, I would like to express that concern as a prejudice. Leoric.”
I met eyes with Princess Amelia.
There are emotions even in the black eyes that seem to contain the dark abyss of the sea.
“I was consumed by magic. It’s not wrong, but let’s say it confidently. Can never be right Our clan becomes one with nature through its expression. Or, it is expressed as a fairy tale with the world.”
Become one… Is it.
“The feeling of becoming one with the sea and its magic is what guides us.”
It is, after all, blood and lineage.
Not your enemy Evidence of life passed down from ancestors.
In response to Princess Amelia’s objection, Count Harry also stepped forward.
“By the way, the Boring family is assimilated into magic. It’s not that either one is bad.”
“Thank you for telling me.”
I understood the words of the two to some extent.
It’s a bit out of the way, but I can understand my father’s consideration for me.
“Hmm. The story changes, but the magical wall is a difference in perspective and can be described as enlightenment. To be honest, just as he was hostile to me in our first meeting, Leoric would have thought that he could deal with me even though he was a count-level magician at the time.”
“What is that…”
The odds of winning were slim, but not nonexistent.
Most of all, it was because the place was Franz and there was no sea nearby.
“It is consumed by magic power. Or that bloodline is bloodline and cut it off. There is only a difference in the way it is. In fact, from counts to royalty. The wall between them is never too big. If there is a difference, it is only a difference in the way the magic is expressed.”
Although the phenomenon of Princess Amelia eroding her surroundings into the sea can be said to be extraordinary.
If you ask me if I have such an advantage in battle, it is not so.
Rather, saying that you can use 100% or 120% of your strength only when you are attached to the sea is not much different from fighting other magical power holders for a magical power holder who can freely fly in the sky like Count Harry and is competent in long-distance combat.
“Although it can be objectively evaluated as lacking. After all, that’s for the future. Leoric.”
“Princess Amelia?”
Princess Amelia smiled at me and said,
“There are many walls to overcome. You don’t have to think about it right now.”
“That’s right.”
Either way, clearing the south and dealing with King Bastian doesn’t change.
“On top of that, the fact that you dominate this southern region is of great help in raising your rank. There are many reasons why you can’t cross the wall of magical power. There is a not small possibility that one of them is a difference in faith that looks up to oneself very simply.”
“All right.”
Just like that.
You don’t have to think right away.
So let’s start with what needs to be done first.
Even if it’s a long road, it’s the same as taking the first step first.
Change the atmosphere of the meeting.
“First, let’s get rid of the things in front of us.”
I point to the map.
That place.
