Your Highness, is now a good ti?
Please enter, Duke Reinfeld.
It was Duke Reinfeld who visited my office.
Unplanned visits like this are rare.
However, there is no rit in turning away a person who always gives valuable opinions like him.
Actually, I have so suggestions.
About what?
The Army of the Allied Eastern Nobles are erecting a periter around the city and inspecting those who co and go in this territory but I want to expand the scope of that and conduct a full-scale reconnaissance network instead.
You an to make the inspection stricter?
We will loosen the inspections near the city. However, in exchange, Id like to allocate a significant amount of personnel to reconnaissance duty.
The inspections are causing traffic jams near the city, you want to tackle that problem?
Although that is also one of the reasons, increasing the number of reconnaissance units will help us better deal with ergencies. Moreover, with the knights conducting the inspections near the city, they will not have any opportunity to ride their horses. This is also to give them the chance to train.
What did Lize-aneue say?
Her Highness has entrusted this matter to .
Then theres no problem. Please do it.
If we have reconnaissance units conducting inspections away from the city then we can have 2 layers of inspection.
Of course, there may be so oversights but right now theres always a line forming at the checkpoint.
It would be great if this can help resolve this situation.
A person who can get through the double inspection will just break through our current checkpoint anyway after all.
Understood. Thank you very much.
Duke Reinfeld tries to leave the room with a bow.
Before that, I called out to him.
Duke Reinfeld.
Yes? What is it?
..in what situation would you recognize soone as a person?
Its an ambiguous question.
However, Duke Reinfeld walked back to while pondering on it without making any unpleasant expression.
Then.
May I give Your Highness my personal opinion?
Of course.
I dont know what its like to recognize a person but personally, I would focus on the people who can do what I cant. People who are skilled in martial arts, people who can do things without considering their benefits first.people who can stand up to those stronger than themselves. The standard is different for each person.
Is that sothank you. It was helpful.
Please dont tell such a joke. I am not helpful at all. Lizelotte-sama is special after all.
I didnt say that it was about Lize-aneue but as expected of Duke Reinfeld, he understands. Well, if I bring up the subject of being recognized then there are only a few I would want to be recognized by huh.
In a board ga, Lize-aneue would be the strongest piece. However, if such a piece doesnt listen to what you say then it will just trample on the enemy as it likes.
That is an interesting analogy. However, that is exactly the case. The problem here is that the result Your Highness is wishing for is different from what Lizelotte-sama desires. Your Highness wants to take down only the enemys essential pieces but Lizelotte-sama wants to wipe the entire board. The only way for Your Highness to achieve your desired result is to make Lizelotte-sama obey you.
do you think I can do that?
This is not the problem of can or can not. If Your Highness wants your desired result then there is no choice but to do it.
Duke Reinfeld said with a smile.
Surely, this person already knew everything before he ca to the north.
The fury in Lize-aneue wants to burn the Dominion to the ground. He ca to the north while knowing that she has that fla of wrath within her.
To shoulder the load with her. To not let her do it alone.
Thats why this person can smile.
I can not stop Lizelotte-sama. Right now, the only one who can stop her is you, Your Highness.
At a ti like this, I wish Leo was here.
Has His Highness Leonard ever stopped Lizelotte-sama before?
Yes, he just stood in front of her and stopped her head-on. No matter how well he understands her anger, he would be able to say that what she is about to do is wrong. But I cant say it. If I stop her from letting it out here, I dont know where those feelings of hers will go.
You are kind, Your Highness.
I am just indecisive. Thats why soone like is no good as an emperor.
That might be the case. However, this is no ti to say such a thing. if..Your Highness thinks that you can not stop her now, then perhaps Your Highness might want to try imitating soone who can.
Soone to imitate?
Certainly, that is a good idea.
But who do I have to imitate?
If its soone that Aneue recognizes then..
The people who she had recognized are fine as well. At the very least, Your Highness should know two of such people, no?
Two people? I know that Aneue recognized our eldest brother..but who is the other one?
It was His Majesty when he was still fully active. Of course, personally, I think that His Majesty is still quite energetic to this day though.
In response to the Dukes words, I recalled the mory of that day 11 years ago.
Certainly, what I saw that day was the figure of an Emperor.
The figure of the Emperor that even the Crown Prince aid at.
However.
For an emperor is sothing that can only be witnessed though.
Everything can serve as experience. Once you experience sothing Your Highness should be able to put it to use well.
Saying so, Duke Reinfeld bowed and left the room.
It seems that I just acquired so rare advice.
Its not the question of imitating but it would be easier to do sothing if you know what to aim for.
When I thought so, Sebas suddenly appeared.
Arnold-sama.
What is it?
I lost contact with the Pri Ministers Shadows.
Are they not just taking their ti? They are moving in an enemy country after all.
That is certainly possible but.it is unnatural for them to not turn up on ti for the scheduled contact. My assassin intuition is saying that sothing is wrong, sir.
-fine. I will trust in your intuition. You are saying that sothing might have happened to them right?
I cant say for sure but.
It would be too late to wait for confirmation huh.
Saying so, I leave the room.
As the Warden of the North, I have received a lot of attention. Moving as Silver right now would be too dangerous.
Thats why I have no choice but to seek an alternative.
Elna wasnt by my side in the earlier eting.
After all, she wasnt always by my side.
Even Elna needs a break.
However, this is not the ti for that.
Elna! Are you here, Elna!?
Im here! What is it!?
Elna appeared from the second floor of the mansion.
Perhaps because I rarely call for her she looked like she panicked a little.
Go check out the border for .
I am supposed to be Als escort you know!?
You are the fastest. Sothing is happening there. Go check it out for .
After seeing the seriousness in my eyes, Elna imdiately nodded.
Marc! I will leave escorting Al to you!
Understood!
After entrusting my escort to Marc, Elna stepped out a nearby window.
Then.
If there is sothing wrong then I will imdiately co back to let you know!
Im counting on you.
Just like that, Elna went out the window and flew to the border.
The Pri Ministers Shadows should be overseeing the Dominions Princesss escape.
If sothing happened to them then it must have been related to that.
It would be nice if nothing happens
The princess that is supposed to seek asylum with us got murdered before she can reach our border.
If such a thing happened then theres no choice but to say that the north is really cursed.
I would like to avoid that at all costs.
