Amazing Village Building Chapter 175: It seems I’ve failed at educating you

Its been a while, father.

Hmp, Im surprised you ca. Whether you ca because you were frightened of the consequence or not, what matters to is that youre still doing what I tell you to do.

We were in the castle of the Albert territorys capital city. In other words, we were in what I used to call ho.

As for why I travelled to this place that I thought I would never return to, it was because my father sent a ssage telling to et with him after he has arrived from the royal capital.

In addition, the ssenger also told in a very condescending manner, I should addthat they had an army ready to attack the village at a monts notice, but they were willing to stay their hand depending on the answers I would give in the eting.

According to what I heard, your Gift apparently allows you to easily build buildings. Thanks to that, you managed to build a city in a wasteland like that in such a short ti. Aside from its uselessness in combat, it seems I underestimated your Gift.

If you hand over the princess, I have no qualms in you continuing to use your Gift. Even if its to build yourself a good fortress. So, how about it?

I was asked what I thought on the offer, but the way I was asked made it clear I couldnt refuse.

That made my body tense up, but I steeled myself and spoke.

before I give an answer, Id like to ask sothing first.

What is it?

father, once youve gained control of the entire kingdom, what do you plan to do?

My father displeased as though he wanted to ask why he even had to talk about such a thing.

Despite that, he still chose to answer.

Firstly, Ill strengthen this country. To that end, Ill take away the armies of every lord and incorporate them into mine. Once it moves precisely according to my commands, itll beco the strongest kingdom army there is.

and what do you plan to do with this kingdom army?

What else is there to do? Attack another nation, of course. Before long, all the neighboring nations would beco mine, and I would hold the legacy of an unrivaled domain.

yeah, his replys pretty much what I expected.

It was inevitable that my fathers way approaching things was quite different from who has lived a previous and totally different life, but even in terms of this worlds standards, my father would be considered an extrely militaristic and hegemonistic man.

I fail to see what aning such a path can have.

What?

Governing the territory to be better than what it currently is and making the peoples lives be richer and fuller, that is what I believe a lords most important duties are. So, why soone would sacrifice the lives of their people simply for the sake of territory expansion is beyond .

Dont be a fool. Territory expansion is the most important goal a lord should strive for. To stand still is to stagnate. One should always aim to expand.

It seed clear that no matter how much we talk about it, we would never see eye to eye.

But then again, if it was so easy to change my fathers mind, this much of an expansion during a single lifeti could never have happened.

I expected this to be the case, but it really seems I cant offer you any assistance.

Offer assistance? You seem to have the wrong idea here. Im not asking you to do sothing, Im telling you. You have no choice in this whatsoever.

No, I do have a choice. I am my own person, and Ill do whatever I decide to do. Not what you want to.

it seems Ive failed at educating you.

Gh

With imnse intent to kill, my father drew out the sword hanging from his waist.

There is a limit to how stupid you can be. The mont you nonchalantly stepped in here, the only choice left to you is to do what I tell you.

Yeah, even Im not stupid enough to walk here myself.

What are you saying?

Well then, if youre going to attack , go ahead and do it. Ill be waiting in the wasteland.

My father had a questioning look on his face when I made my consciousness return to my real body.

Yes, the one to attend this discussion with my father was a body double. By the way, whenever a double receives a certain amount of damage, it would simply vanish.

When Marquis Albert slashed Lukes chest with his sword, the latter mysteriously turned into sand that then fell to the floor.

Its not his real body? still, for him to declare war on father

This person breathed out a sigh of relief after stealthily watching the exchange before the Marquis and Luke.

For so reason, the words Luke spoke of earlier crossed his mind again and again.

I am my own person, and Ill do whatever I decide to do.
