Chapter 292 – What Is Politics # 1
I sent a letter to come, but what should I do?
“Then, I’ll welcome you. As the saintess said, you’ll have to think about how to respond after hearing the story.”
“Okay. But keep in mind, a messenger from a situation like this can never say anything nice.”
“Of course. Maybe it’s something like a demand for obedience or something. You’ll need to increase your power too.”
“If you think about it that way, I think you’ll be fine.”
Whatever it was, Count Saidin, who was fighting fiercely with the angels in the center, personally sent a messenger here.
I’ll have to get it right
It is an existence that cannot be defeated right now. If I am a small country, it is a large country there. If it’s not a proposal that is very intrusive… I’ll have to hold off on a rough answer and accept it at the last minute, or I’ll try to negotiate as much as possible.
It’s a hard problem.
“Still, don’t we have a saintess card? No matter what proposal we receive, we will have something to say, don’t we?”
“Leave that to the saintess. I’ll try to solve it as best I can.”
A saintess with a confident smile. Certainly very reliable when it comes to diplomacy. Because he’s a monster who knows how to behave.
Hehe, I understand. So what. The meeting ends here. Let’s go see work.”
At my words, the saintess nodded her head.
“It’ll be fine as long as you’re doing what you’re supposed to do.”
“Of course you have to. You have to continue to grow your strength. Only that will ensure your survival.”
That’s right.
Then let’s go to work.
“Hmm.”
A lion of Count Saidin.
What kind of guy will come?
It wouldn’t be strange if Saidin tried to use the power of force as long as he was the one with the highest level. Well, it’s a bit ominous, but they are also anti-angel faction aristocrats. Hopefully something big is going to happen.
A certain amount of abuse is acceptable.
Until I grow stronger.
* * *
Some time after that
I heard the news that Count Saidin’s messenger had arrived. He is said to be staying at an inn near the castle. I hope to come in soon
I thought so.
“Hmm.”
The guy stayed at the inn for three days and didn’t have much contact with me. What’s going on? After discussing this, I was told that he was investigating the barony.
“It looks like you’re trying to gather information before negotiating.”
“Hmm. I can’t stop this. Do I have no choice but to wait?”
“Isn’t it impossible to assassinate him? It can’t be helped.”
It is said that there is no sharp point because there is no contact right now.
Anyway.
Time passed like that, and finally the lion came.
As I had prepared, I hid the soldiers and waited for him in front of the inner gate. They say they’re coming with two attendants… Is that it? While waiting, I observed a pig walking from the other side.
What? Pig?
ㅡRumble.
Rocking more than that?
Wasn’t this the sound of a woman’s chest? Surprisingly, however, this sound came from the belly of a lion.
ㅡKooung.
A gigantic pig, probably weighing 150 kg, walked along wearing luxurious clothes and carrying a female attendant on either side, shaking her axis… Is that kid a messenger sent by the Count?
“…”
I feel the energy as I see him approaching. The power of mana… I can feel it, but it’s not particularly strong. I don’t know why a person with the rank of a count treats a guy like that as a lion.
Anyway, just looking at his age, I think he’s not a normal guy. The most important thing in this world is power. In the end, you have to have strength to stand on top of others. But what a fat body. Not suited for combat
I have a strong feeling that he’s not normal. Anyway. The guy who had approached me stopped and said, tilting his head.
“Hmm? Who are you?”
“Let’s call it Curse, the saintess’s knight.”
“A knight? A male knight, too? The saintess of the Goddess cult is a male knight? Where is Leah, the royal knight going?”
Do you know anything about Leah? But. The saintess’ reputation is high. Of course, she must have information about the knight guarding her side.
“Guard Knight Leah is currently busy with other work. Did you say she’s the Count’s envoy anyway?”
“But who is this guy?”
“What?”
“Shouldn’t I be polite right now! I’m Viscount Kellsron, who came under the orders of Count Saidin! Where is the Unknown Knight stiffening his head in front of me!”
Uh.
I was taken aback at the first situation I encountered.
“What is this?”
No. No matter how noble you are and you are under the command of a count… How can you behave like this in someone else’s country? To the knight too? Are you worried about splitting your head or not?
“…”
My heart grows cold as I question it.
Let’s think soberly.
Maybe this is a pushover. It may be that you are acting to reveal that you are in the position of absolute power and to lead negotiations in your favor.
This guy is also an aristocrat. A nobleman who was also entrusted with a very important mission. He came to negotiate about power in wartime. A guy like that could never do something stupid like that.
This must have been a politically calculated attitude, so to speak, a concocted attitude.
I was quick to judge.
It is clear that he will set the course of action according to my actions here. If I protest, I might try to add some more terms, saying it’s rude.
But what if you keep your head down?
“As a knight, I do not bow my head to anyone but my employer!!!”
“What, what?”
It gives the impression of being a dick…!
A world of nobility! It’s the weak meat! If I knew that my opponent was weaker than me, I would be able to deal with it! Insults must be protested here!
“Viscount Kellsron…! How dare you say such bullshit to me, a knight!”
I don’t know what kind of man Count Saidin is, but if he’s the guy who’s going to send an asshole to this important place, he wouldn’t even rise to the position of count. This is a calculated action. Then you have to break that calculation!
“If you don’t apologize right away, you’ll be in for a bad look! That fatty body will make you experience being slammed into the ground!”
I am a knight by setting. I learned from Vanessa that knights don’t just pass insults. Do you think I, who has won so many battles, will fall for such a ruse? If you want to take the initiative, the number is wrong. Because my speciality in combat is preemption.
“Apologize now!”
“What, what? Whoa, are all these crazy bastards! Do you know who I am…!”
His eyes widened as the bastard feigned embarrassment. I can see all this smoke It’s no use pretending to be an idiot on purpose. We are never easygoing guys. Imprint it
“Last warning! If you don’t apologize for the insult, you’re going to be hung up in the butcher’s over there! You’re going to gain a lot of weight! If you just remove the belly fat, the villagers will be full!”
“Ah, butcher?! That, what kind of bullshit sound…! This unlearned, idiot-like guy goes on a rampage without knowing the subject!”
—-Flash!
In an instant, he lifted his fat forearm! Because of that, the guy’s rich chin fluttered while boasting high calories!
At the same time.
The guy’s gigantic body starts to gain strength. Okay. Is it like that? It’s like this, but nobles are nobles. There is no restraint in the use of violence. If you step back from here, you’ll be caught right away.
“This sin will ask your master!”
ㅡWow!
Kellsron waved his palm at me. However, it seemed to me too slow. I’ve grown up over the years. The movements of these golems are obvious.
ㅡSue.
Step right away and burrow into him, lowering his stance and grabbing his right leg.
“Annit?!”
In that state, I put my magic power and weight on him.
ㅡQuaang!
Dropped backwards!
“Guo Hak!”
This is enough to make the ground shake.
“Ah!”
The Viscount’s two attendants stamped their feet, not knowing what to do. Those non-virgins don’t have to care now. You can’t look down on me here. If we can’t even repay the insult, the count will see us as a hukou and make unreasonable demands.
“All right now-“
So I punched the guy in the face with his fist.
ㅡQuaang!
“Kerhak!”
“Viscount Kellsron! I’ll say it again, if you try to insult me and my employer, you’ll pay dearly! Be polite to the saintess!”
“Now, wait! Before that! Cheek!”
ㅡQuaang!
I swung my fist about five times and hit him in the face. If you hit someone else’s nawabari, you should be right. This was the absolute rule of those in power.
A dog that can’t even bark at its own house can never guard a house. Power is a dog, and power is a dog’s house. A dog who can’t even protect his own house is just a dog soup.
“Turn off…!”
By the time Kellsron was neutralized like that.
“Ah! What the hell is this!”
“Kyaaaaah
The nuns in the castle jumped out and separated us as if to stop the fight. Okay. Let’s stop here Get up from your seat
“Kuh, what the hell is this…! Do you know who I am…!”
Kellsron also stood up with the help of an attendant. Now, it is not enough that his eyelashes have become night sweats, and he is bleeding from his nose. He acted passionately with an expression that seemed to be really unfair. Can I learn that.
“Viscount Kellsron. You are the one who has to be polite. If you don’t want to taste more bitterness, please come in.”
Anyway, the story has to be told.
Let’s bring it in now.
I can’t make unreasonable demands in the beaten yard.
“Sheesh! We’ll see!”
“This bastard?”
“What, what!”
“…”
I glared at Kellsron for a moment, but he confidently entered the inner sanctuary without showing any sign of shrinking.
He’s a tougher guy than you think. After all, aristocrats are aristocrats, right?
“I will guide you.”
I followed right next to him and guided the way. Now, the saintess is waiting in the drawing room. Let’s see what kind of story you’ll come up with.
Now that I think about it, if Count Saiddin really intends to devour us, there will be no need for negotiations… That’s difficult. That is politics. How can a small country sandwiched between great powers survive? That thought is swirling in my head.
“Damn, damn…! For me to be treated like this! I personally came to the periphery, and they treat me like this…!”
Viscount Kellsron grumbled as they walked along.
“You were the first to quarrel, Viscount Kellsron. Don’t grumble ugly.”
What if they complain? The Count is in the midst of a fierce battle with the angels in the center, and he will have to have a big heart to send an army to the periphery. So it’s okay if I go strong here.
“Ha! I’ll talk to your master about this! Let’s see if I can be so cocky then!”
But I am your master.
I am the owner of the saintess.
I don’t know what this guy will ask for, but I have a strong hunch that the negotiations won’t go smoothly.
“…”
Because he was laughing
