Volu 5 Chapter 29
Translator: HASUTSUKI, Editor:Ryan
Mike who was doing docunt work in his own tent felt a faint disturbance.
With how the situation was , it was normal for him to be wary of assassination, but the place he was currently presiding was the base camp where many allied soldiers also located.
Furthermore, as a senior officer, he was being protected by the Iga-clan shadows hidden in the darkness.
Assassins who could break through this kind of defensive line could be counted on one hand.
And it would be very unlikely for people to hire assassins aiming at Mikes life who was just an aide. If they could hire those kinds of people, they shouldve aid at Mikoshiba Ryouma life instead.
Which left him with one answer.
Is there sothing you need?
Without moving his line of sight from the docunt he was working on, he asked a question. -
Following his question, one man kneeled in front of Mike.
Pardon for disturbing you this late. Young Master is calling
Young master? I see, did he received contact from EPiroz?
Mike responded to the ssenger calmly.
At first, he was always panicked when the ssengers ca, but over ti, he got used to it.
Yes. After master received the news from the chief, he requested for to call Mike-dono.
I see, which an, the news from Jinouchi-dono is good.
The shadow responded to Mikes remark with silence.
It was extrely rare for these kinds of people to talk more than necessary.
Of course, they didnt abandon human feelings such emotions and desires, it was just they rarely showed them during a mission.
Did young master said anything else?
No. I was only told to call Mike-dono.
I see Alright. Good work.
After responding to Mikes word with a small nod, the shadow figure once again lted into the darkness.
Fuh I guess everything has gone according to young masters expectation eh? The problem is after this
After quickly putting away the docunts on his desk, he sat down deeply in his chair and gazed toward the ceiling.
Mike was deep in thought while gazing into nothing.
Usually, since he was being called by his lord, he shouldve gone as soon as possible.
But, compared to other lords, the one Mike was currently serving had unique characteristics.
Have anything in mind? Is there any problem? How does it work? Is there any risk?
What is the rit?
Ryoumas way of seeking opinions from others after considering various factors would never allow Mike to think that he was just being called for nothing.
(How should we move now? Epiroz movent was just like young master had expected. If we keep on the offensive with Jinnouchis cooperation, we could win But, the damage on our side would be bigger)
It was true that getting a victory in this war was Ryoumas ultimate goal, but the way to win the war was also important.
At the very least, Ryouma didnt want to waste troops by forcing into Epiroz if he could win another way.
(Furthermore, we had to prepare for the next war)
If Ryouma won the war, he would control the northern part of the Rozeria Kingdom.
In other words, he will dismantle the northern nobles household and take away their territory.
What beca of that was Baron Mikoshiba would be occupying nearly a quarter of the Rozeria Kingdom.
With such territory, he could create a principality.
But, the Rozeria Kingdoms Queen, Lupiz Rozerianuz, would never allow such a thing to happen.
(At that ti, I never thought the situation would beco like this)
The mory caused a bitter feeling inside Mikes chest.
At first the two people, Mikoshiba Ryouma, and Lupiz were close associates, helping each other during the civil war.
The rcenary group that was led by Ryouma and Lione needed a powerful backer after they ended up being pursued by Fulzads guild leader.
At the sa ti, Lupis needed soone who was capable of breaking the disadvantaged situation she was in.
Soone capable but have no power, and soone with power but didnt have the ability.

It was without a doubt heaven providence had destined those two people to t.
And if their relationship remained good, the story wouldve turned into an epic hero [saga].
However, the honeymoon didnt last long.
Their relationship ended right after the civil war was over.
(Well, its not like I dont understand Queen Lupiz feeling)
From the mont he was born, Mike had lived in this harsh world, thus he could understand the fear Lupiz had felt.
It was not certain whether Lupiz had thought about it herself or she was being advised by soone else but, Lupiz had tried to seal Mikoshiba Ryouma by placing him in the Wortenia peninsula and try to let him died there.
For rulers, there was nothing more horrible than a capable people with low social status.
More so when the world was in chaotic tis.
In such situations, even parents, and brothers could not trust each other unconditionally.
That was why only two choices remained for rulers when they had capable people but were unable to trust them.
One option was to kill the capable person or confine the person to a place where he/she could never raise in power.
Following that thought, Lupiz decision was not wrong.
Since she thought that Ryouma would not cause her trouble in the future, she didnt think of assassinating him.
However, such a decision was proven wrong.
And after she missed the window to kill him, the crack between their relationship widen.
And the snake she let go in the field had sharpened its poison.
After Mike arranged his mind together, he slowly raised his body and left the tent.
The moon looks beautiful
Mike smiled while looking at the full moon after it breaks through the clouds.
It was as if the moon told him about the future war that was going to happen
