Episode 1093. Do you know where my sword will point?
Fabian said with an ambiguous face to Elio who was stunned.
“But that’s a bit odd.”
“what?”
“The Kingdom of Tallinn has never been involved in a dispute between Escatos and Raminof Kingdom. Escatos and Raminof Kingdom were buying grain from Tallinn Kingdom, so it was ambiguous to take either side.”
“Then aren’t you doing something else? Rumors could be wrong.”
“It is certain that Tallinn and Raminov Kingdom joined hands. These days, the knights of Tallinn and Raminof Kingdom often have meetings. There are also stories about Jade Lake coming out of it.”
“I mean, I can’t do anything. So what’s wrong?”
Elio looked at Fabian with a sullen face.
“Isn’t it ironic?”
“what?”
“All of a sudden, the Kingdom of Tallinn joins hands with Raminof, and there is talk of Jade Lake coming out.”
“why? then no?”
Elio stared at Fabian.
I don’t know what kind of big deal they are making a fuss about.
Fabian, who had been staring at Elio blankly for a moment, said with a face that realized something.
“ah! In the eyes of Vice-captain, things in the world seem insignificant, right? As a lowly person, I thought of the vice-captain as an ordinary human for a while. Please forgive me.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Tell me the point.”
Despite hearing the bruises, Fabian didn’t feel bad in the slightest.
Viscount Elio Lagoa is a tiger.
It was perhaps natural that the tiger did not understand the rabbits’ work.
“Didn’t the vice-captain beat the commander of the Tallinn Kingdom knights not too long ago? In retaliation, it seems that the kingdom of Tallinn is playing tricks.”
“If you have any complaints about me, you can come to me. Why did you touch the Jade Lake?”
“Iknow, right. I don’t know why it suddenly touches the kingdom of Escatos. If it was because he was afraid of the vice-captain, he would have rather quietly covered it up... What on earth is he aiming for?”
“Isn’t the Kingdom of Tallinn also greedy for Jade Lake? Like sharing it with Raminof Kingdom...”
“Raminof? If that was the case, I would have proposed dividing the Kingdom of Escatos first.”
“It is like that again. How are you? It’s free to be black. tell me not to work It’s annoying to run around.”
“By the way, isn’t there much talk from above? If it’s because of the vice-captain, it’s time to start talking...”
“You’re not going to send me to Jade Lake, are you?”
“It can’t be. Vice-captain, you must protect Hirhera. Even great nobles wouldn’t do that if they had heads.”
“Doesn’t it make you feel a bit bad to think that your position may change because of the Tallinn Kingdom?”
“Because it doesn’t change. Even the great nobles will want to have the vice-captain by their side. You never know when the demons will attack again.”
Still, Elio’s expression did not ease.
“Since people are still, they look like bales. Why do you touch someone who is doing well?”
“Vice-captain.”
“why?”
“Didn’t I tell you before? Vice-captain said that he could not be shaken by a typhoon, but he was shaken violently by a gentle breeze. Just let it go.”
“Would you like to watch?”
“Yes, the nobles will take care of it. Compared to the rift, the Jade Lake is nothing.”
“Why are you tying me to something that is nothing? Do I look that easy?”
Elio started to get excited about what he said.
Surprised by his appearance, Fabian hurriedly calmed him down.
“Vice-captain. It’s just a rumor. Seeing that the great nobles don’t say anything, it seems like a rumor. Please do not take it unpleasantly.”
“If you do it for Count Cairne, I will destroy everything.”
“Who is that?”
“Who is who? It is the Kingdom of Tallinn.”
“Vice-captain, you must not touch Tallinn Kingdom. It’s a real big deal.”
“why?”
“About 30 percent of the grain distributed in the north came from the Kingdom of Tallinn. If the Kingdom of Tallinn doesn’t sell grain... people in the Kingdom of Escatos could starve to death one after another.”
“Looking at you, you’re pretty stupid too.”
“yes? why?”
“Look Carefully. They don’t sell grain. So what am I just watching?”
“Oops! I’m sorry, should I go out and see this? Vice-captain, are you leaving?”
Fabian moved his hips as if he wanted to leave quickly.
Since Elio was bored anyway, he got up from his seat.
In time, the two of them took their seats in the vacant seats the owner said they had prepared—quite close to the stage.
It was when the two of them were staring at the empty stage.
The clerks diligently brought new beers and snacks to the table.
Fabian asked the clerk who brought the liquor.
“What is this? Didn’t we do more?”
“Ah, this is what our master treats to his regular customers.”
“Oh yeah? I am so grateful.”
Elio said to Fabian, who was smiling happily.
“It’s a regular. How long have you been in and out of here?”
“I brought the riders and platoon commanders. Drinks are expensive, so we take turns with one or two people. That’s what a lieutenant commander does. Vice-captain was a bit harsh in that regard. Even now, the second lieutenants refer to the vice-captain as salt.”
“Thank you for being alive thanks to that salt.”
“Yes, of course. That’s what it says.”
Meanwhile, Erica came on stage and prepared to play.
Soon after, the soft sound of the harp and Erica’s song resonated throughout the room.
Erica looked at Viscount Lagoa, Elio, between songs, but Elio never noticed.
Fabian, who couldn’t see it, said a word as if passing by.
“Miss Erica keeps looking at me, would you wave at least once?”
“If you talk like that one more time, I’ll hang up here.”
“Ah yes.”
Fabian’s mouth itched, but he held it in.
If nothing else, it was because he kept what Viscount Elio Lagoa said.
Looking back and forth between Erica and Viscount Helio Lagoa, Fabian shook his head excitedly.
I don’t know why women swarm around the wooden Viscount Elio Lagoa.
“The world is so unfair.”
Hearing Fabian’s careless words, Elio turned his head.
“Did you know that now?”
Fabian tried to explain why he did it, but kept his mouth shut.
It was because he thought that if he said something wrong, he would immediately ask about Sera’s well-being.

Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.
Central command and control barracks.
Four people sat across from each other at the end of a huge rectangular table.
They are the Duke of Escatos, the Marshal of the Kingdom, the Marquis of Bernardo, the Grand General, Count Colin Strong, and the Chief of Staff, Viscount Meto Robert.
The chief of staff continued the report.
“...I met Count Blood Mir, the deputy general of Raminov Kingdom. Count Mir said that the rumors circulating around Hirhera are not true. The Chief of Staff of the Kingdom of Tallinn has made such a proposal, but he has not specifically promised what to do.”
Marquis Bernardo asked as if to confirm.
“So you’re saying that Raminov and the Kingdom of Tallinn didn’t unite?”
“Yes, even Count Mir said that no one in Raminov had even mentioned the Jade Lake. The Count didn’t seem to have any intention of going against our Escatos kingdom.”
At the words of the chief of staff, Duke Escatos frowned.
“The story of Raminof and the Kingdom of Tallinn uniting to reclaim the Jade Lake is spreading in Hierhera... Didn’t Raminof even mention the Jade Lake?”
“From Count Mir’s attitude, it seems clear that Raminof gave up Jade Lake.”
Vice Admiral, Earl Colin Strong, spoke cautiously.
“It could be that the Kingdom of Tallinn is trying to create unrest. In terms of timing, these things happened after he refused Viscount Elio Lagoa’s request for punishment...”
The Chief of Staff nodded.
“Our staff members are of the same opinion. The kingdom of Tallinn would not know that the kingdom of Raminov was so aggressive in its explanation. The origin of the rumors seems to be the Kingdom of Tallinn.”
At that time, Count Ellen Parres, the leader of the Phoenix Knights of the Marquis Bernardo family, entered the barracks.
After bowing to the duke, he approached Marquis Bernardo, whispered something into his ear, and went back.
Marquis Bernardo said to Duke Escatos, who looked at him with a puzzled face.
“A little while ago, Count Victor Kern, leader of the Rage Knights of the Tallinn Kingdom, challenged Viscount Elio Lagoa to a duel.
