Chapter 444: 444 A few days after Mia came .

Mia has already returned to the north . Take my letter .

Mia needs help from the clan, and it’s better to send Ted under the Duke of Rheinfeld now .

The Duke of Rheinfeld is now ruling the clan in the form of his sister’s aide .

Below the clan king, most of the towns have been captured and sent to Imperial jail . When the time comes, they will be executed .

Therefore, there is no ruler in the clan . It is the army above Lizzie’s sister that reigns .

However, there are times when military might alone cannot help . It is the Duke of Rheinfeld who complements it . Even after Brother Traw and I go, we’re supposed to be able to help you for a while .

There will never be more time to study .

That’s why we sent Mia back north early .

That’s good, though .

“Damn . . . how did this happen?

I murmur as I look at the pictures on my desk .

They are all improvised sketches .

“Looking at Mia’s response, I think she likes the rustic village daughter . You’re sending a woman close to you as a friend . “

“Didn’t you listen to people . . . ?

I didn’t expect you to give up my friendship even though you said that .

It is also persistent .

“I can’t help it . You are Leonardo’s brother . [M]Leonardo will be closer to the Empire than Lord Erik will be if there is more war against the kingdom . Erik hasn’t been on the battlefield lately . In chaotic times, Wu King is more desirable . When that happens, you’re the Emperor . And I proved my strength . As a nobleman, I’m sure you want to get married somehow . “

“It’s a pretty intense palm turn . I thought your wrist was broken .

“You’ve been targeted for a long time . But there was a problem . “

“Obstacles?”

“It’s Fine and Elna . Because you two are close to you, I thought it would be useless to bring a story of friendship . But you said no . That’s why you thought they had a chance . “

“I’d like you to give up your chance if you can’t be in the Barons and Dukes . . . well, if you’re a nobleman who’s lagging behind in the empire struggle . “

The nobles who make friends with me are neutral nobles .

Even though the empire struggle has come to an end, it can be said that there is still no policy .

You should be absolutely neutral when you get here .

Look at our momentum, we’re the only ones who want to get involved .

At the end of the day, we should wait for the Empire candidate who wants to expand even a little, and if that doesn’t happen, we should give up .

It is bad that I could not move quickly .

But they didn’t think so .

I haven’t missed my flight yet because it’s only five fifths . I’m sure that’s what you think .

Now that the forces have grown, the middle class aristocracy is not much to add .

“What should I do?

“It’s easy to say no . . . just fine . Leave me alone . “

“What do you think they’re gonna use it for?

“Not very helpful, but enough excuses . “

I see .

Sebastian, who understood my words, nodded several times .

A few more days later .

Elna came into my room without knocking .

“Al! What are you talking about!?

“About knocking . . . no, that’s enough . So, what do you want?

“What do you want?No, it’s not! Rumor has spread that the nobles are sending in sketches because of their preferences for plain village girls!

I see .

“Quickly say no!Why are you leaving me alone!?

“If you refuse, you’ll have to send it, won’t you?

“If you really refuse, I won’t send you!

Seriously, if you send me any more, I’ll declare you punished .

That’s right, but there won’t be any fierce ones to send .

But . . .

“As for me, I need you to send me some more . “

“Why!? No choice!?Do you like plain kids as they say!?

“It doesn’t matter what you like . All we need is quantity . “

“That sucks . . . only the Emperor can allow polygamy?

“What kind of imagination are you . . . making excuses right now?”

Elna leans her neck against my words .

Not at all .

“Don’t slip your mouth .

“It’s okay . “

“I’m worried . . . well, I think it’s about time . It’s an anomaly, isn’t it?This is still the prince . When middle-class aristocracy come to see the Emperor without going through, it can be said that they are a little humiliated . “

“It’s true that you’re not in the same position as the Barons and Dukes . What kind of excuse would that be?

“What happened in the Empire can happen in the clan . Don’t you think?

“Of course, the aristocracy of the clan would like to connect with the imperial family . “

“Exactly . If that gets in the way of my work, it’ll be a hassle . So let’s go back to the previous state . “

“Previous state?

“I’ll leave Fine by my side . And use it as a pretext to take you to the clan . I can’t leave Fine in the Imperial City . If he succeeds, Leo immediately returns to the border . It could be a great target . “

“You’re not using Fine to avoid women?

“They can use me to avoid men . It looks like Fitney’s getting a lot of friendship . “

Fine hasn’t been around much lately .

Because I go to my sister-in-law Teresa when I’m free .

I’m sorry to bother you, Sister Therese, but I need you to pull me back .

“If my relationship with Fine is good, the number of nobles who can’t do it will be exceptionally low . That’s what I’m going to tell you . I’m going to take Fine . “

“But the one who turned down the relationship once?

“Still, if you’re around, you have influence . The rest will be over if you properly spread the rumor . The aristocrats of the clan will not go out of their way to take Fine with them . “

” . . . I don’t like it when I lose . “

Erna murmured with a dissatisfied face .

I wonder why this guy decides everything wins or loses .

“Then stop the Kintetsu Knight . Then I won’t hesitate to take you to the clan . “

“You can’t do that, right?I have a demon-related problem . . . . . “

“You know what I mean . As usual, if you were around, you wouldn’t make out . But . . . we got each other . As in the past, we can’t be childhood friends anywhere . “

” . . . you mean Fine instead of me?

That’s what it’s gonna be like .

Then I’ll convince you .

That’s how Elna pulls back her dissatisfaction and turns her heel .

That convinces me, so it’s amazing . I don’t know what kind of criteria they’re working on .

For now, you’re gone .

“Then there’s an explanation for the Emperor . “

“I’ll be fine if I go see you with a tired face . You don’t think Fihne can be left in the Imperial Capital without a patron, even as a father . If it were an all-out war against demons, my father would be on the battlefield . “

It’s an exorcism pact . If the Devil’s invasion is confirmed, each country sends the strongest force . A covenant that has not been used for 500 years . “

“If only SS Adventurers have pieces, that’s the best . “

It is better not to make sacrifices .

But it’s not an optimistic situation either .

With that in mind, I looked out the window quietly .
