20 – Episode 20. Brief Peace (2)

*

At the place we visited, the residents of the territory were gathered in groups of twos and threes sharing food.

It seemed like some kind of harvest celebration festival.

A few young people recognized Luna’s face when she came here and bowed to greet her.

“Aren’t you Lunarien?”

Hearing the voice of the man in front, the excited atmosphere quickly turned solemn.

Of course, rather than the atmosphere suddenly becoming cold, it was closer to being slightly nervous about the unexpected appearance of a high-ranking person.

Still, I didn’t read any rejection.

Which one is – Luna was being welcomed by the people of the territory.

“Lunarien, welcome.”

“Meet the monarch!”

“If you don’t mind, try some of this!”

In no time, the people of the territory gathered around us.

Luna skillfully raised her hand and nodded her head.

“Everyone, it’s okay to stay comfortably.”

‘… ….’

I told my subordinates not to use polite language as much as possible, but it is not easy to change the habit.

If this world had a political system similar to the world I was in, it would be natural to treat ordinary people who have the right to vote that way –

Unless there was such a thing, it was better for a superior to show dignity.

I thought about hinting one more time.

‘What…… Even in this era, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have at least one type of leadership like that.’

It was not in front of the subjects he treated like his hands and feet, but in front of the people of his territory.

In terms of public opinion, her approach could have been better.

Of course, what’s great about her is that every single action she makes isn’t the result of tapping this and that on a calculator like I do.

“Thanks to Lunarien, peace has once again come to our Zeeland Castle. It is a place that no other feudal lords even looked at… Thank you so much for caring so much.”

A middle-aged woman nodded her head repeatedly, half in tears.

Luna walked up to the woman and held her hand tightly with both of her hands before speaking.

“It’s not thanks to me. It’s because you guys didn’t give up and kept trying. I hope you don’t forget that.”

“Lunarien…!”

“Lunarien! Please unify this continent engulfed in war!”

“How can we entrust the country to a tyrant like Serpina?! Isn’t that right, everyone?”

That’s right, that’s right!

One or two testimonies about Runarien were coming out here and there.

Well. She spent as much as 6,000 gold to rescue the people of the territory, and she patrolled the territory very frequently, so she seemed to have clearly captured the public sentiment.

Maybe that’s why the number of soldiers who voluntarily gathered was quite large when conscription occurred.

Now, our troops, excluding the mercenaries, boasted a figure of about 10,000.

Seeland Castle is a small castle, but if it were a castle with a much larger population, it would have been possible to collect more.

She was talking to Young Jimin. After Luna Lien finished her story and packed it up so she could continue enjoying her festival, she approached me.

“Swen.”

“Please speak.”

“Over there…”

Luna pointed somewhere with her finger.

When she looked there, she saw that a large bonfire had been lit and several couples of men and women were dancing around it.

The sight of several bards playing lutes gave the impression that it looked like an illustration that would appear on the loading screen of a game set in the Middle Ages.

“It’s peaceful. It’s all thanks to my lord.”

“No. That’s not it…”

“?”

I looked at Luna’s face.

She blushed slightly and hesitated, but then she let out a soft sigh as if she had made up her mind for something.

“…No.”

Was said.

What is it?

Why do you stop talking?

What did you want to say?

‘…… No way.’

I guessed something about her and asked her.

“Do you want to dance?”

“Oh? Oh, yes, I, so…”

Seeing as I couldn’t answer clearly, it seemed like the answer was correct.

So, is it roughly like this?

I want to dance and hang out together, but I’ve always said, ‘Having the dignity of a monarch is a virtue for a unified monarch,’ so I guess I can’t say that?

A monarch dancing together at a festival for the people of his territory may have been good for gaining public support, but it was far from the dignified appearance of a unified monarch.

But what about it?

As he was now the ruler of a weak country, there was no need to worry about such things.

You must also know how to react flexibly depending on the original situation.

“It’s okay. Let’s go.”

“Yes?”

“You can forget what I said for a moment. You can hang out with the people of the territory as much as you want.”

Luna was a monarch who had a particularly great care for her people.

As someone who often played this game, I thought that only Karelia had such a concept – caring for its citizens and loving peace – but that wasn’t necessarily the case.

So, it would be better to let them go so they can hang out here to their heart’s content.

But.

I thought she would take action immediately after hearing what I said – but she didn’t.

Instead, he spoke to me hesitantly again.

“Well, that…”

“?”

“S-Sweet, if it’s okay with you… Wouldn’t you like to go dancing together?”

When I heard her say that and didn’t reply, her face turned red and her eyes widened, and she desperately began to explain.

“Well, I mean! Everyone is paired up as a man and a woman, but it’s a bit difficult to go alone, and since I’m a monarch… I can be a burden to the people of the territory in many ways, so-“

“Are you asking me to dance with you?”

“Ah…”

She then lowered her head and spoke.

Her face was even redder than before, now almost reminiscent of blush.

“…Yes…”

“…….”

This game actually had more events than I thought.

If something like this can be called an event, it is.

After living in this world for a few months, I developed a bond with the members of the Lunarien army, and a little pride began to bloom in this territory – I was always wary of this.

I have a place to return to, and since this is a game world, there would be repercussions if I was swayed by emotions and made an unreasonable decision.

But.

I am still convinced.

Lunarien Inian will become a unified monarch.

So, in the end, I have to be by this woman’s side in order to return to the original world.

Then wouldn’t this be okay?

“Let’s go.”

“Oh?!”

“We will deal with you however you wish.”

I held her hand.

She was startled, but she didn’t shake my hand away.

Rather, he gave a little strength to the hand she was holding…… He said in a trembling voice.

“Yes, four! Thank you!”

So I did a light dance with her in front of her campfire.

Her pure white skin reflected in the light of the bonfire.

Cream puff-colored hair that sways slightly every time you make a light movement.

Her ruby eyes looking at me…… It was clearly imprinted in my mind.

This is the royal castle of Anel Castle.

Lyn Brans was sitting on the throne and receiving the messenger’s report.

“I’m back, Mr. Lin. We were able to safely conclude a three-week armistice agreement with the Aishous military.”

“Okay, good job. What about the south?”

Another Shinigami next to the man who spoke spoke.

“The armistice agreement with Roland County, which has an adjacent border, was also successfully concluded… But the period had to be adjusted to one month.”

“1 Month? Wasn’t it 3 months?”

She said, bowing her head as if the Shinigami was not ashamed of Rin’s words.

“I’m sorry. Roland proposed a mediation plan that said 3 months would be difficult… So we had no choice but to mediate for up to 1 month.”

‘Roland guys, it seems like they are trying to do whatever they can if they see an opportunity. I didn’t want to worry about the south for the time being. But well, one month is enough.’

Lin thought so and said with a smile.

“It’s okay. Actually, even if it’s one month, it doesn’t really matter. Didn’t I say in the first place that it’s okay to go down to one month as long as we can reach an armistice agreement?”

“Yeah, but.”

“That’s it. That’s the end of the story. You both worked hard! Take a good rest for now. If I don’t call you after a week, I think you can both work at the market from then on. Understood?”

“”Yes! I will obey your orders!””

After the messengers went out.

One of the soldiers waiting next to him opened his mouth.

“Sir. General Chell’s army has just arrived.”

Rin’s expression brightened after hearing her words.

“Oh, really? As expected, you’re a big brother♡ You came up really quickly!”

“Shall I tell you to come in?”

“Yes. Right now.”

“Old!”

Not long-

A man with short blue hair, who looked very strong at first glance, started walking towards me wearing plate armor.

Overwhelmingly huge physique, sunken eyes, and scars all over the face.

He was a handsome man who boasted quite a handsome appearance even though he had a scar.

Following them, a beautiful woman with short purple hair and violet eyes, giving off a very seductive aura, was walking.

The two soon arrived in front of Lin and knelt down before her and spoke.

First of all, the man’s name is Chelbrans.

He was a man called the best swordsman in the Brans army.

“Chelbrans, as you ordered, I have just arrived from Saintica Castle in the south.”

And the woman’s name is Farfalle.

As Brans County’s strategist, she was a gifted child who caught Brans’s eye from an early age, as she was told that she was ‘the most intelligent woman in the central region’.

He had just returned from a brief absence from her side to lend his strength as a tactician to the Great Southern Front where Chell Brands was the commander-in-chief.

“Farfalle, I have just arrived from Saintica Castle in the south, as my lord ordered.”

“Yes, yes. Welcome, both of you!”

Lynn welcomed Chell and Farfalle with open arms.

Chell asked Lin a question with a puzzled expression on her face.

“Why did you call us to Annel Castle? As far as I know, the northern front has become quiet.”

“That’s right. I don’t plan on sending my brother to the upper town now. My little brother is already guarding that place.”

After somehow succeeding in blocking the advance force of about 55,000 people.

After that, about 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers from the Serpina army continued to invade.

As a result, we had to make quite a few sacrifices, but we were still able to safely defend Kelstein Castle three times –

We were somehow able to quell the Serpina army’s ambition to advance into the central region.

Of course, I don’t know if they retreated or gave up, but right now, the Serpina army was no longer planning an invasion.

In this situation, except for the troops to defend the north, it was necessary to stabilize the remaining front lines in order to quickly gather troops.

The two armistice agreements were for exactly that purpose.

“And, I heard that an armistice agreement was signed with Roland’s army… Is that correct?”

“Yes. So it’s okay not to think about the southern front for a while.”

“Yes…”

Chell asked in a puzzled tone, as if he didn’t understand what she was thinking.

An agreement was signed with the Aethus County in the east, and an agreement was also concluded with the Roland County in the south. I have no intention of sending it to the North.

Then what’s left is the western part, and isn’t that just a collection of several weak countries that aren’t a threat at all?

However, the large unit that was protecting the south, including himself, was summoned to this Arnel Castle.

Lin nodded and said, as if she understood Chell’s intention.

“That’s right, brother. I don’t think we need you to organize the West. But, what we’re going to get is not just a small piece of land from a weak country.”

“That means…?”

Lin’s blue eyes sparkled for a moment as he answered Chell’s question.

He knew that look in her eyes well.

That was her younger sister who had gone on a ‘talent hunt’.

“From now on, we are going to take the pieces necessary to win the world!”
