Chapter 377 – 37. One Maxim (7)
… One month later, the end of the month of Goyo.
While the three siblings in the capital were filming a skit, the situation on the continent changed drastically. This is nothing new, but time flows equally for everyone. Thanks to this, those who were fighting over the throne these days were having a hard time holding meetings every time they heard new news.
In a sense, Eugene and Jeanne Dieudonne were fighting more times than they had ever been alive.
‘Jim is also human, please let’s get some sleep…’ …’
‘Even if there are ten bodies left, there won’t be any left…’ …’
‘My lost eye is throbbing…’
In the bright palace garden, three bleary-eyed royals were sitting and groaning. In turn, they were Alphonse, who had only had a nap for nearly 15 days, Marian, who was troubled by the fluctuating trade prices due to the current situation, and Jacques, who was devastated by a problem that had no answer just as much as the other two people’s hardships.
“Let’s organize it in order of north, south, east and west. Even before Dalpo, we were clearly discussing the current issue of recommending new talent. And it seems like they have reached a certain level of agreement and are about to announce it, but why… ?”
“That’s right, but why did the Duke of Leblanc, who was thought to have been crushed by the duel trial, suddenly declare neutrality and invalidate the Ouestveda share treaty?”
“Looking at the expressions on the two people’s faces, they seem to suspect that I am behind it. I am not doing this in the name of my great mother. Even if you get it wrong, you get it wrong.”
If I had to describe the current state of Gaul in one word, it would be like that. I don’t know if it’s ever been that way, but recently it’s been downright damn bad. It was quite surprising that the eastern part, which thought the turmoil had calmed down, announced that it would not transfer its shares in Ouestveda to the northern part.
“Ah, who are you if you’re not a nobleman? According to the information Jim received, Arnaud LeBlanc is currently lying in a hospital bed! “Didn’t you get so angry because you got stabbed in the back there that you cursed the hero?”
“If you’re going to do it, do it properly! Are there any incidents that could have turned into a civil war? It’s been so long since it quieted down! Do you know what the prices are like inside and outside the country right now? “I can’t sleep these past few days because of the news that I’ve gone bankrupt!”
“It’s not me! And Alphonse, if Arno is sick like you said, who on earth could make an announcement like that? I guess Baron Ardennes is carrying out a play of his own through Madame Leblanc, whom he brought to his side!”
“Slander! “You, be careful of your words and actions!”
In the south, Prince Charles was demonstrating an unprecedented military buildup. It was surprising that he was able to restore the devastated Dominion so quickly, and it was not strange that he was attracting attention as he was busy gathering troops like a king who was planning to cause some kind of rebellion.
“The place you really need to focus on in the first place is the tarn! Look at Prince Charles! He’s dreaming of becoming another nobleman! According to common sense, does it make sense for a royalist to have a private army of any nationality?”
“Brother? I’m sorry to say this, but no one here knows that Miss Melanie was in contact with the deposed prince’s faction? “Isn’t the reason why the southern prince, who was busy keeping an eye on the royal family, suddenly getting sick is because of his faction rather than our youngest majesty?”
“Your sister is truly right!”
“Tarn is not an archduke, it is an autonomous territory! Moreover, it is a family that boasts history and tradition! And as the daughter of that family! She is in danger of having her family taken over by her husband, who is busy engaging in dirty tricks with the king! After all, what is the fault of having contact with my faction?”
“Mr. A, there was some kind of deal after all!”
“It was already strange! There’s no way Jim’s cutie Charles could be this ignorant!”
“You need to keep your personal feelings out of it! Why have you been calling me cutie Charles since last time?”
“I don’t want to hear it from my bitch sister!”
The balance of power is exquisitely harmonious only when there are three. The same was true for the three siblings of the Gallic royal family. At first glance, the target of the troubles in the east and the south suddenly changed from a structure in which only the deposed prince was using the spoils to the princess Jang.
“If there was a reason why the prince was sprouting thorns like a hedgehog, it would be in the West! It’s true that Melanie Tarn wants to reclaim her family’s land and property! Everyone here knows that it is not time to rise up yet! And yet she blames the meeting between her and my faction for her lack of conscience?”
“Yes, speaking of which! We must also point out who was the one who opened the way for the Seongguk army to advance to the west last fifteen days! Is the author Jang Gongju sane? How can someone else’s army step on our land? Welcome! And do you provide convenience? “I don’t think anyone would call me a slut, eh!”
“Do you have any proof? Do you have any proof that I opened the way for the Seongwangcheong knights to advance? I heard they were cleverly dispersed between the central and southern regions? “The things that have been distributed in one way or another are all foreign entities!”
“How come you know this so well? “Do you think I gave detailed instructions to the people who make money under me, telling them to wash their clothes like this?”
“And if not? Albert Monet went to the King of Saints and said, please send some troops because I want to take over the West. It would be more likely for my sister, who is a rag, to announce that from today she will clean up her past and live a decent life!”
“But why the fuck have you been calling me a slut? How many times do I tell you I’m a virgin? Besides, don’t you know that all those knights were harpooned? “I’m in a lot of trouble because the bitch I thought was the funniest suddenly attacked me!”
“Shit! It’s true that he paved the way!”
Certainly, the West was a battleground in many ways. A group that was previously thought to be crouching due to lack of power was about to completely fill the void left by Bishop Ravel and stand tall as the best in Gaul.
He was a major player who easily defeated over a thousand members of the Montaigne Swordsmanship Guild and mercenaries arranged by the prince, as well as all knights dispatched from the Holy Kingdom.
In the beautiful sea of stars, a female warrior named Sansar made her name known throughout the world.
“Then why are you touching the nose hair of a sleeping lion!”
“How do I know that the rose in the wilderness is a lion!”
“Common sense! Common sense says that roses have thorns!”
It was quite the same shock as when the hero of Limousin first appeared. Although the enemy was secretly acting, the world was a little more indifferent than before, but those who were sensitive to power were astonished every day at the appearance of an absurd monster.
‘Did you know that Esmeralda had such a secret… !’
Especially Princess Jang and Marian.
“Stop talking about the West, why are you leaving out the North?”
“I’m trying to slander Lord Arden again!”
“No, Marian got it right. “It is clear that the Uestveda share treaty has been destroyed.”
“Are you staying silent during this? Is Baron Ardennes a hot guy? Could it be that there was some kind of secret agreement?”
“A secret drug! Are you saying that I used Romuald to pull a trick?”
“Look at how he’s slowly calling me by his name. If I leave him alone, he’ll eat both of my brothers. “Really, how can men’s tastes be so consistent?”
“The Baron is not to my taste! Jim likes to admire a slender and smooth male like Charles! And now those words are a distortion of Lord Arden’s loyalty!”
“Then tell me! All three sides are in an uproar, so what has the North been doing all this time? What achievements did a loyalist achieve in his country where war is in the air? Even the Royal Court and the Knights of Calais provided support!”
Lastly, the one who was put on the defensive was the current king. Alphonse, who had suddenly hit the nail on the head, blurted out, avoiding Jacques and Marianne’s gaze. I hope that this half-truth will work.
“Oh, I heard they are developing hot spring tourism…” …”
“Does that make sense?”
“Be honest when you lie!”
The actual battle never ends. Throughout the month of Goyo, whenever something happened, the three siblings summoned each other and continued to bicker and bicker.
You may not believe it, but it wasn’t because they were stupid and lacking and looking for someone to blame.
Rather, the three of them were the driving force that allowed Gallia to endure. Of course, there was also the power of each force or person.
“You dirty slut! “She is a bitch who opens up the roads of the country she says she wants to eat to the army of another country!”
“One-eyed lack of affection! “Maybe it’s because he sucked his mother’s milk less often, but he couldn’t live up to his age and his brain stopped in infancy!”
“Go and do your dirty work! After biting and sucking with the prince for the rest of my life, I got sick and passed out!”
Why did the East suddenly cancel the Ouestveda share treaty? Why did he suddenly declare neutrality and choose to wait and see the situation?
‘Phew, I really almost got caught this time…’
This is because the current king requested it closely through the north. If I heard the news that Arnaud Leblanc was sick and used it politically, I could obtain a political justification to oust the deposed prince without actually damaging the baronies and duchies under my sphere of influence.
Of course, since my intention was discovered, it was like a failure.
So why did the South suddenly increase its military? Why did he attract attention by creating an uproar everywhere rather than quietly increasing his power?
‘You quick-witted children, how did you find out that I decided to support Melanie Tarn?’ …’
This is because her crown prince contacted her prince’s wife and promised to support her. In return for supporting my faction in the future, I will prevent Charles Dior, who is a royalist and biased towards the wise king, from taking over the Dominion. Just as it did not exist as an independent country for no reason, Tarn in the south was perfect for raising troops if it could be used as a base.
Of course, but what about the West?
‘Esmeralda suddenly became dangerous. Just opening the road was a gamble, but who would have guessed that it would turn out this way. For the time being, let’s take care of our money and not even dream about moving the military…’
It was the same. Princess Jang was behind them, who were in the most precarious position before the Lion King’s support arrived, but suddenly rose to the same status as the Barony of Ardennes.
This was done with the calculation that even if it could not completely eliminate them, it could make them pay some price, but things went wrong.
‘As expected, I guess I’ll just have to trust Lord Arden…’
‘In the end, I have no choice but to seduce Baron Ardennes…’
‘I really hate Romuald of Ardennes…’
Alphonse, Marianne, and Jacques repeated to themselves.
In order, he was a king who could survive thanks to the baron, Princess Jang who could not live without the baron, and a discarded prince who went crazy because of the baron.
