Chapter 397 – 39. Dedication (7)
A dazzling sun rises over the ridges and hollow valleys.
The dawn of the frozen land is like that. The contradictory charm of this cruel remote land is that it has remained hopeful ever since the days when it tormented the people who had rooted for me with the harsh cold, as if driving them away. Although another hard day will begin for her, she still gives herself the energy to live.
“Not long ago, a messenger from the Lion King approached me. He said he would like to add a little help to our revolution through Cape Hermitage. I checked, and it turned out to be an important factor for the Britannia royal family. “You can say it’s not a trap or a ploy to catch us.”
“If it’s a trap, the literal trap is more problematic. The Rose of the Moors contested the advance through the Northwestern Moors. In the process of hiding the army in the old site of Savoy, they feared that they might be in danger if the magical mines installed in the past in their father’s unit were activated…”
“In this diocese, we thought that this revolution could be recognized by the central church, but the situation has become quite precarious since the abbot of the Dior family moved to the north. “I am sorry for not being able to live up to the expectations of the brothers, but I think it will be difficult to participate with all my might in the small churches in the villages, the Monastery of Saint-Buch or the Diocese of Anseny.”
Those sitting at the round table were men and women with different personalities. If there was anything they had in common, it was that the oldest among them was less than 30 years old. Also, each person inherited something from their father through their blood.
“Starting from the Etoile Mountains, there are only two gateways to the northeast and northwest of Le Mohan. The secret to the city of Havre and the Gate of Saint-Bouches becoming a two-horse carriage supporting the Margrave’s citadel was not only because of the purged vassals.”
“I completely agree. Rather, the geographical requirements will be greater. The vassal faction is simply a faction that arose naturally. In that sense, Baron Ardennes is clearly mistaken. It is true that his power should never be underestimated…”
“If my father returns, it will be in the Middle Ages. Moreover, there is no way he would have made no preparations when dealing with a strong person like Lumière’s invincible knight.”
“If you take control of Havre at the top and Saint-Buch at the bottom, the only resources that can be accessed from the city of Le Mohan are the Bernese mining town and the Seine and Cité countryside. According to what he said, the Duchy of Le Blanc would not be able to provide any help to the Baron.”
“It couldn’t be the right time. In war, the number of soldiers is as important as one’s military power. 60% to 70% of the Marquis will be in the hands of our council. Moreover, in the northern part of the country, there is little farming even for those engaged in subsistence work, so conscription would not be difficult.”
In a secret room, those who shared opinions with detailed maps spread out on the table soon showed cooperation. There were many people in the kingdom of Gaul who did not like Rom, saying that protruding awls were always annoying.
To my surprise, these were not the people gathered here.
Likewise, it was not surprising that he felt hatred towards Oriane, the former Madame Lemoin, whom he now regarded as a lowly widow.
“I know that Romuald Arden’s spirit is noble. Oriane Lemoine also supported us out of self-satisfaction, even if it was hypocritical. But the current era is by no means that kind of era. This is war. And it’s a struggle.”
“Well, it should be seen as a limitation of the barbarians of the far north rather than the Baron of Ardennes. You will pay a heavy price for sparing the lives of the four people, including Vice Count Cauvin, rather than executing them. His father has already announced his intention to head there as a convert.”
“Have you figured out where they are being held?”
“This is the territory of the three Keshikten brothers.”
“Those ignorant people.”
If you do, please let me know. The person who seemed to be in charge of the meeting in the dark space raised his hand and gave an order. There is no fool who thinks that just because this is a council, decisions are made in a truly equal structure.
Of course, this place was just a symbol.
“Currently, both Vincent Lenoir and Richard Calais are in the North. Paradoxically, this means that the center becomes an empty house. As long as the three siblings are at odds, Oliver Somerset, who showed his skills worthy of the Baron’s mentor in the East, will not move…”
The military officer with a solemn expression nodded.
“I understand that Esmeralda Zafiro, the rose of the wilderness, has already lost the fight with Princess Marian. Even if she moves the ruler of the upper world, she is completely defenseless. Bishop Monet and Etruria behind him are variables, though.”
The young lady who was holding a fan said.
“The Bishop will not move. However, you won’t give any strength to our diocese. As you know, Inquisitor Olivaa and the Battle Sisters of Le Verrier are by the Baron’s side. Even so, there is talk of blatant favoritism toward Abbess Marguerite, so it would be difficult for even Ammangra to provide any more help than this.”
A priest also added, holding his hands together as if praying.
“The preparation couldn’t be more perfect. No matter how Baron Ardennes was, he wouldn’t have the talent to not crumble under this challenge. Of course, with that monster, it wouldn’t be difficult to save one’s life. But I will not be able to protect Oriane le Moin and her daughter.”
Starting from up and down the Etoile Mountains, the opposition in Havre and Saint-Buch were stirred up. They immediately started a revolution, took over, and divided the frozen land into west and east. In that case, the council that is making the so-called revolution will have all the large lands such as the Grand Nord field and the Mörth forestry area in its hands.
The taxes and population that come with it too.
The Baron of Lotringen, the Count of Poitiers, and the Baron of Brienne will welcome you. There have already been several behind-the-scenes negotiations with Esmeralda in the west. The Duke of Le Blanc in the East is bedridden, and the person in power who will take his place has also been a puppet for a long time, Father said.
“In other words, the East is a passive wait-and-see approach. The West is military cooperation. The Lion King also wants full support. As soon as my father returns with his vassals, the opposing factions in Havre and Saint-Buch will rise up in unison.”
“Lucienne Le Mohan, who has become her princess, will not be able to leave the castle without permission due to her role. Additionally, if our intelligence is correct, Baron Ardennes is so obsessed with women that he rarely leaves his house.”
“On the other hand, Sister Marguerite is a different story. He is a man who travels around many places and works for poor people. Although, as things stand, Inquisitor Olivia and the Sisters of Battle of Le Verrier will serve as escorts.”
“How are Anseny Parish’s preparations for the event? “If only I could lead Marguerite Dior and capture her in the name of preparing her for a peace service, her baron would not be able to do anything to her out of fear for my sister’s life.”
“Of course we are preparing successfully, brother. Above all, the sister is not the only factor that can bring out the Baron. He is a representative royalist. The reason why a single knight, a knight-errant, was able to grow like this by eating the northern part of His Excellency the Margrave was also because Alphonse de Gallia was behind it. But that too will end soon.”
As expected, the person who seemed to be in charge of the meeting nodded and stood up first.
“Everyone, don’t neglect to check in. This is a definite revolution. It’s the only move that will blow away the foolish Wise King and his loyal dog, Baron Ardennes. Moreover, unlike his father, Joseph de Gallia is not yet completely ready for resurrection.”
“I know, brother.”
“Don’t worry, brother.”
“No, I have no choice but to worry! Even the Sun King is ultimately his father’s enemy. They are our enemies. The key to this plan is, above all else, the king’s advisors. “It’s a secret that the loyal wizard is more loyal to the previous king.”
Loyalists and traitors are a difference of perspective. The same goes for the fact that the wizard, who at first glance seemed to follow the king well, is actually loyal to his predecessor and is making a secret plan for his resurrection.
“Alain Leclerc kills Alphonse de Gallia. Unless this premise is present, Baron Ardennes will not move to the center. “For us, the best course of action is for both of us to perish together.”
If the current king is assassinated, the Lumière political world will be greatly shaken. In a situation where neither Jacques de Gallia nor Marian de Gallia can make any moves, Romuald Ardennes will definitely be called upon.
I ask you to go to the center and become the leader of the royalists who will put an end to this tribulation.
“So prepare, brothers and sisters of great Lemohan.”
It’s good if you do it. Immediately, the council will rebel against their father.
“It is not Millennial Ball and the Sun King who will win in the end.”
It’s okay even if you don’t do it. The next best solution has already been prepared by detaining the Grand Abbess in the distant Diocese of Anseny and using it as bait to bring out the Baron.
“Father Gerard and us, his true bloodline… !”
Everything is perfect There is literally nothing better.
The war of northern unification is truly imminent.

He made the exhausted dancers kneel down and worship him together. The fun of having several girls clinging to three sides of his cock, which was as big as a snake and still stiff, was not bad at all.
‘Romuald, please go hiking with this.’
‘… What do you mean, you suddenly appear and go hiking?’
‘There is a reason for everything that Professor Lucienne, the greatest mystic scholar in history, says. They won’t answer even if you ask questions, so quickly take this package to the top and bring it to mom. ‘I’ll be waiting.’
As the sun rose, she was put out of her place thanks to a female worker who suddenly kicked in the door.
One way or another, the Baron was a man who faithfully did whatever his wives asked him to do.
“Oh, was it something like this?”
“Hehe, welcome back.”
“So what’s in this package?”
“Wouldn’t the scenery we see now contain the same feelings? A gift from a wife who loves her husband so much.”
It took only an hour for Rom, who roughly dressed and left the mansion, to climb to the top of the tall mountain. Following the footprints and footsteps, there was a small hut and wooden building built by the Marriott family that went back several generations.
“Lucienne said you seemed somewhat depressed, so I asked you to call me.”
And the scene where my wife, whom I truly love, stays with me.
“Welcome, honey. “You certainly didn’t think we would leave our beloved West sad, did you?”
“… “I really love you, Oriane.”
