After the war (part II)
Its surprisingly tiring
I am now at one of the room at the lords mansion. I was sighing while looking down at the street. After taking control, so residents rebelled but it was soon put out by the guards. However it was still tiring so I just pray that nothing else will happened.
At that ti, soone is knocking on the door.
Excuse .
the one who co in is the count Airia. I didnt take her off her position because she is talented and trusted by the people. The only question for now, is whether she is willing to completely cooperate with us.
If she wanted, it wasnt hard to raise another rebellion and even the guards will followed her order. So, if she did that, the werewolves control of the Ryun city will definitely gone.
When I was lost in my thought, Airia was puzzled.
Is there sothing wrong Raito-dono?
Ah, its nothing Airia-dono.
Airia then told the story.
The guard corps is not the private army of the Airia household. It actually belong to the allied force of Mirarudia kingdom which Ryun city belongs to.
Because of that, even Airia as the count couldnt give an order to them. Even to give a mission, she need to ask the permission from the Mirarudia senate.
I roughly understand the situation.
In other words, even if theyre not going to acts against the demon lord army but we cant cooperate with them either.
Thats right since I cant ordered them, Im your only ally.
when looking at Airia expression, she isnt lying. She doesnt have the sll of lying. Actually, when a person is lying, we werewolves can pick up a faint sll of sweat which is signaling their hidden intention.
The guards corps total is around two hundred people, with their main duty is to maintain security. Since they dont want to cooperate with us then I need to assign so werewolves to guard too. However if that is happening, when the werewolves are guarding the city it will reduce our overall strength and we couldnt rely on the Inu tribes strength. If one day the Mirarudia kingdom troops co to free the city, I am not confident that we could win.
Hmm
there is always an option to threaten the guard or I can kill half of them to teach them a lesson but that will makes my domination is based on fear and it is hard to maintain the fear level. If I did it wrong, it could in fact lead to another rebellion.
When I was thinking about the trouble, Airia opens her mouth timidly.
Then, why dont you threaten the guards?
Do you want to?
with a wry smile, Airia shook her head.
But if you didnt want to then surely you will have a hard ti.
Well, after all just getting along with a demon lord army causing many people to have a hard ti.
Airia understand well the aning of my words. If they Mirarudia kingdom found out that she agree to make a pact with the demon lord army, she will face hardships.
Afterall, I gave up to controll the guards.
For now, just take their equipnt and disband the guard corps. If they make a move please inform .
Understood.
Airia tried to leave the room but after a while she turned her body.
This
What is it?
while I asked, she takes out a cross ornant.
What if the security will be done by the chamber of comrce instead of the guard corps.
Chamber of comrce?
Ryun city has maintain security, disaster prevention and others by working together with the chamber of comrce. Of course if so problem happened, the chamber of comrce will also receive the impact.
ah, I see. Although I lived in the city in my previous life, I am now living in Kakurezato, the werewolves village and didnt think about it. Airia then continue.
The chamber of comrce is under my direct control. Even if we didnt have the guard corps, I can still ask them to patrol and it might be sufficient.
to this offer, I am thinking. This proposal, I wont lose anything but Airia didnt get anything either. It only makes owe a favor to the chamber of comrce. So, why did she tell this?
Why are you doing this?
Its to thanks Raito-dono.
Thanks?
since the ti we raid the city, this is the most shocked condition Ive ever been. Airia then look at with a serene face.
You are really thinking of working together, when your group is raiding the city, you tried your best to reduce the number of victim. Because if you go all out, it even possible to leave no citizens alive.
Well, I can do that.
However, I dont think that is sothing that she should be thanked for. But Airia lowers her head deeply.
This is to repay your generous treatnt to the citizens. Also, in the future I will cooperate with you.
To the count, if Ryun city isnt protected anymore by the Mirarudia kingdom, they will have to rely on the devil lord army. This is where we are asked to be responsible for our alliance. Again, I didnt feel facing the Mirarudia kingdom is such a big deal. There is no other reason to reject the proposal.
Thank you for your help in this matter. Now I must trouble you to contact the chamber of comrce.
Dont worry.
after that, Airia smiled as if she is relieved.
Her expression is quite lovely
