Chapter 231 – Three Waves
The Marquis of Agrillpa left.
The story…
“Leo. Shall we guide the next guest?”
“Oh, tell them to come in.”
At my words, Isabelle immediately started guiding.
This is the appearance of the last guest of the day, Thoth Maya.
Rattle!
“Excuse me!”
Is it ignorance or is it rude?
Maya Thoth, who opened the door without knocking on the door where I was the Count, belatedly took a pose pretending to be prudent.
“Oh, excuse me. Are you okay though? If it’s not okay, please tell me in advance. Fix your posture.”
Haha.”
It seems that he realized it belatedly when he stood in front of me after entering confidently. Now, she appears to be a lady wearing a dress that exposes the top of her breasts.
Well, I’m not the type to pay attention to details either.
“It’s okay. No, then I can talk comfortably.”
“Thank god.”
Relax the tense atmosphere and talk comfortably with each other.
I brought out the wine I prepared next to it.
“Would you like some wine?”
“I’m weak with alcohol.”
That’s surprising
Seeing that I definitely don’t smell like alcohol, I don’t think I drank today.
Maya Thoth pouted at my expression.
“I’m fine, but my father ordered me not to drink here because people around me drink too much and I’m sure I’ll get into an accident.”
Haha!”
What a fun family.
As if watching his daughter stressed out by her father’s nagging, she put the wine back down on Maya’s tote and raised the teacup next to her.
“Then how about this?”
“Oh?”
Squeeze!
As the tea flowed from the cup, the sweet scent tickled my nose.
“Is it sweet?”
“This is my favorite car.”
“I am surprised. I thought you would like this…”
The way you drink tea with your eyes wide open.
Are you that surprised?
‘The thing I want to drink the most is Coke, but…’
Can’t do anything like this
The atmosphere was relaxed, and after taking a sip of tea, we looked at each other in a mature space.
“Then shall we begin the conversation, Princess Thoth?”
“Great. Then let’s start with me.”
Cool and simple.
Looking at her direct appearance from the start, I can’t imagine seducing her opponent with words.
In fact, Maya Thoth immediately stated the purpose of coming here.
“We will launch an all-out offensive against the Confederacy of Southern Nobles. It’s practically all-out war.”
“Hoo.”
Their fight was a series of one-sided attacks and tenacious defenses.
The Confederation of Southern Nobles defending only major cities and the Count Thoth Army attacking those cities.
In the beginning, the Confederacy of Southern Nobles, who had a large land, lost the land and retreated, but now, after organizing the system and launching a counterattack in earnest, losing one land and gaining another was repeating itself.
“And if that continues, only someone has a very good advantage.”
“Heh.”
And that someone is us.
“So you want to launch an all-out war?”
“They think they can beat their number and we figured we had a good chance on our own. So wouldn’t it be better to try to finish it before someone intervenes?”
“Certainly so. No matter who wins, as long as they win, they will become the greatest force in the South.”
Then the story will be different.
We had to choose Either fight with them with low odds, or hang your head. Or not…
“Well, I’m not interested in the story after that.”
“It seemed so.”
“… You don’t think I’m ignorant, do you?”
“You’re welcome. There are cases in which a long Django is rather poisonous. Like now, for example.”
If their war is prolonged, the advantage is us.
“But surprisingly. If you had done it while we were fighting, you wouldn’t have had to worry about the back of your head.”
At my words, Maya Thoth sighed.
“We also had troublesome things. That drug. You know?”
“Hmm. Did it leak Well, I thought so.”
At Maya’s words, I also sighed.
If the purpose of the circle is the development of science, there is no need to entrust it to me alone. I couldn’t believe it, but it seems that the data was leaked outside.
“There weren’t that many materials and there were just a lot of recipes. Well, maybe it’s just something we couldn’t find, but we were busy sorting it out.”
Considering the tendency of the Thoth family, there would have been no appeasement or persuasion from them. I would have just subdued And they too would have rebelled.
“I knew a little bit about the situation. That means everything is ready now, right?”
Confederation of Confederate Nobles and the House of Count Thoth.
Even if we growl at each other, this kind of story is said to have been decided without our knowledge.
“Yes! We’re going to wipe out the Confederacy of Southern Nobles!”
Looking at her twinkling eyes, she is a dreaming lady, but she feels wildness in her eyes.
Heir or whatever, he’s thinking of rampaging on the frontlines. This lady.
“Then how are we going to stop it?”
The three forces are held in a precarious balance.
There are differences in power from each other, but some are minor or covered by water.
However, if the two forces start a war like now, I will stand out, and it will be the same for Aidan and Count Harry. There is no reason not to step out.
Maya Thoth said to my question.
“I won’t stop.”
“Hoo? Do you mean come? Are you prepared for a three-way battle?”
So it’s going to be a total mess?
“We also put our heads together. Even if we don’t get along, we don’t care if we die, but they don’t want to die.”
Promised
“First of all, the war is fought after the sun goes down.”
Haha. That is my obvious weakness.”
Of course, just because I’m weak doesn’t mean that other people get stronger.
“Anyway, if it’s a surprise attack, we’ll stop the war and form a temporary alliance with an outside force to fight.”
“Hmm.”
It’s easy to say.
But will it be easy?
“We hate the protracted situation and the Confederate Nobles prioritize winning safely. Objectively speaking, we are aware that their actual win rate is slightly higher.”
“Indeed… If there is no outside intervention, I am confident that I will win. So, if we intervene, we will temporarily stop the fighting.”
“You don’t even have to believe it completely in the first place. We just have to divide our forces and fight.”
It’s possible because it’s not a real war.
Noble class. Even if the number increases, the knights are everything. Rather than fighting together, it is better to fight individually on your own. It doesn’t matter if they die or die in the meantime.
“And the Confederate Noble Union seems to care more about the Three Earls Union than we do.”
It can be said that the number is the least, but the quality is good.
Because Franz and Borin are a family that has existed in the south for a long time. More so.
As for the Confederation of Southern Nobles with the largest land, it’s enough to destroy them all this time, right?
This is true
I laughed it off, but aristocrats are aristocrats after all.
“I know the story. Reply later.”
“Whoops! Great!”
Looking at Maya Thoth who smiled at my words and left, I smiled too.
“This is true.”
Although a troubling situation has come.
I have a number I have hidden.
* * *
“I ate one.”
Maya Thoth gave a wry smile.
Not only the people of the Thoth family, but even members of the Southern Noble Union stared at the city with hardened faces.
Although they spoke confidently in front of Count Hyperion, they naturally did not fully believe in the promises made between the hostile forces.
It is said that they agreed to break only the words individually, but if it is at a disadvantage, there is a possibility that they will jump first. Especially in the case of Count Thoth’s family, they are famous for fighting without retreating once their eyes are turned. It’s not like that in the first place.
What he did to Count Hyperion could be said to be half bluff.
“But if this happens…”
Things are different. Rather, you can join hands with the Confederacy of Southern Nobles.
That’s not to say I don’t like it.
Maya Thoth whispered to his knight as he clicked his tongue.
Tell the family about this right away.
The knight nodded and left the castle today. Hyperion wouldn’t bother to stop that.
A colorfully decorated city. There was a series of groups welcoming them with petals flying in the sky.
Slam-!
A salty taste is felt on the tip of the nose.
Slam-!
A robe decorated with pure white clothes and blue jewels that seemed to be used in religion. A girl with empty black eyes and slightly dark skin is approaching in the lead.
Slam-!
The sound you hear in your ears is not an illusion.
A girl who appears as the sound of waves echoes through Müller City.
She appeared as a full-fledged woman now.
Maya Thoth muttered softly, licking her dry lips with her tongue, tasting her salty air.
“It’s royal…”
The Bahnia clan of the Barheun Kingdom.
The absolute ruler of the sea with the magical power of the sea.
A queen’s offspring who transcends the human species, comparable to the large-scale monsters of the sea.
“Amelia Bahnia.”
The sea princess appeared.
* * *
“The warm sun. I can feel it from here. Leoric Franz. No. The one who was given the name Hyperion, which means sun in the ancient language.”
We met after a long time.
But maybe it’s because of the pretty intense first meeting, the memory of the first time we met runs through my mind.
“Congratulations on being the embodiment of the sun. Leoric Hyperion.”
I see a small smile on his expressionless face.
This lady is still there.
“Welcome. Princess Amelia Bahnia of Barheun Kingdom.”
The sun welcomes the sea.
