63 Episode 63: Craft

"Well, what do you mean!"

Regal Diber was angry.

The first was the notification of the resignation of three vassals and a request to emigrate to Ast.

It is possible to relocate to another territory if you submit a notification under the law of King Rossais and pay a migration tax.

The rest is the consent of both lords.

Regal has no choice but to admit it.

There is no reason to prevent it.

There is no cause to prevent the migration of humans who have not committed a crime.

In addition, if the emigration of about three people is stingy, a bad reputation as a narrow lord will be obtained.

If you get bad reputation for such a silly thing, you can't stand it.

However, it is tempting to accept Regal as it is.

So he made a formal protest against Almus As.

I want you to stop withdrawing the vassals.

But Almus Asus replied:

"Are you removing your vassals? No, I didn't ... but maybe some of the newly hired people were from Diber territory."

Almus Ass apologized to Regal for inferiority.

Regal was happy with that and contradicted.

But the tragedy is not over.

This time, as many as ten people went to the territory of Asus.

There are rumors that Raymond Rosais has brought Almus Ass to his side to become king.

Instead of supporting Almond Assay's throne, Almus Ass defeated the Regal Dybelle and crushed the Dybers, signing a confidential agreement with Almus Ass to claim his territory.

And the immigrants of the Diber family-the belmets-are colluding with Almus As and Raymond Rosais to put the Diber on.

When this happens, Regal has no choice but to suspect unrelated relatives.

Until now, they are all unrelated relatives.

Rigalu ordered his vassals (of course relatives) to monitor those veterans and relatives who were relatively high relatives.

However, I stopped monitoring only.

For they have not confirmed that the rumors are true. And Regal couldn't believe that the betrayal, Bellmet, would betray him.

"Successfully, Iar-san."

Iar's subordinate ... A pupil of the peddler Ial now says happily.

"I had a hard time sending the rumors, and it cost me a lot of work."

It was thirty-two that Ial brought to Arumus's men. Thirteen of them, especially three, were fairly talented, so they took the form of direct withdrawals.

The remaining nineteen remain in the Diber territory.

They are not good at compliments, but they do.

In fact, she sent a lot of information to Iar and made rumors.

In exchange for a lot of money.

They are worthy of their status, but not satisfied.

I don't need such a person.

They are not as talented as they are, but they are bewildering if they are not treated.

A person who betrays once has a betrayal habit.

After the end of the civil war, he intends to get rid of it.

Of course I don't want to tell Almus.

Almus is anxious about killing innocent humans, and is reluctant to make wrong promises.

Iar has been delegated all authority to Almus.

One of the rights is not to report. Ial interpreted forcefully.

It is better not to know that you do not need to know.

"By the way, I'm glad that the rumors that Almus succeeded the throne were good.

"Well, that's not bad, but Almus is not generally a candidate for the throne. It's also because the territory is also adjacent, so it's hard to be attacked by any chance. If you say that Rymond will be king, it will only give an excuse to defeat Alms. ”

Rigal cannot destroy Lymond because Lymond's territory is not adjacent to Diber's territory.

On the other hand, it is adjacent to the territory of Almus, so it can be destroyed if you care.

Rumors that Almus will be king could raise anything.

If there is a war at this stage, it will be muddy. It must be avoided.

For this reason, Almus also seems to have no willingness to hostile from the front, inferior to Rigal.

Rigal should think that Alums has partnered with Raymond because he is not confident.

Come here, the apologies from the previous dispute have taken effect.

If you think that Rigal is a trivial person to take Armus, you're in hell.

Either way, you will be on the alert for inside enemies that do not exist more than Armus.

"Now, the last fort Belmet ... without this man, our operations will not succeed."

Information that Belmet was a fairly capable person was heard disgustingly every time the information was collected.

If the rumor is correct, the old man will have noticed already.

King Rossais doesn't want to transfer his country to Regal Diber.

At present, there are rumors that Lymond Rosais will be king, but that is a rumor after all, and it is not necessarily understood that it was the intention of King Rosaith.

Just a couple of years ago, Regal Diebel was the king's lead candidate.

When Regal Diber becomes king, the power of the king will increase because the Diber territory will be under the direct control of the royal family.

The royal territory is larger than the sum of the royal territories. In other words, centralization is established.

That's a big reason that Regal Diebel was the lead candidate for the throne. I don't care about my ability.

Lymond's territory is so small that his relationship with the royal family remains the same even if he becomes king.

Rigalu needs to be king in order to fulfill the wish of the Rosais royal family of centralization.

So the Divels and their pro-Divels do not doubt that Rigalu will be king.

Humans don't want to believe what they don't want to believe, and don't think the situation will change so easily.

But if Bellmet notices the intention of King Rossais ...

He would recommend that he tie up with King Domorgar and take over Princess Yulia and the throne.

Because he married Princess Yulia and cut off the "royal road" to get all the kingdom of Rossais, only the "evil road" that would gain the throne even if he fell down to the territory of King Domorgar.

Regal Diber is a timid man who looks brave.

You can understand this by considering the battle with Ferm.

You cannot make choices that betray your country.

And at the same time pride is high.

You won't be able to endure being content with the kingdom of Domorgar.

But if no one pushes their backs, they will not be able to change their policies or choose the wrong way.

And Belmet is the coordinator of unrelated vassals. If Bellmet is punished for relegation, frustration should explode at once.

In any case, elimination of Belmet is indispensable for Almus to gain the throne.

for that purpose……

"Well, do you want to run the strategy?"

"Regal. In fact, one thing I want to report ..."

"What?"

"Bermette may lead to Almus ass. Recently, a suspicious figure has been seen late at night near the house of Belmet."

Rigal frowned.

To be honest, I'm not sure if Belmet is betrayed.

Is Tadaomi who has served me so far betrayed? Rigal still believed in Belmet.

Recently, however, many people say that it is better to monitor Belmet.

This is a form, but it should be monitored.

"Okay. Let's put on the surveillance. A couple of people. We're on the vermet. Belmet is white if there's nothing for a week."

The three guards arrived at the Bellmet mansion.

"It went well."

Iaal and her subordinates laugh.

Witnesses (Iar and his subordinates).

Of course, they did not go directly to tell the Diber vassal.

Some have made it possible for them to pass on from multiple merchants to the vassal from diber purveyors.

Your feet will not stick unless you look them carefully.

It was a bit dangerous, but it seemed successful.

Indeed, Regal suspected Belmet and added surveillance.

But not enough.

Another push.

"Well, do you use this?"

Ial's hand was holding a dead hawk. This hawk was asked to be killed by using a hawk.

A tube is tied to its feet.

A fake letter to Belmet is in the tube.

In other words, he sent a letter from the Ass family to Belmet, but on the way he was attacked by a wild hawk and fell on the road.

It seemed to be like that.

If you can show this to Regal later, Regal will completely doubt Bellmet.

The question is how to show.

If you send this directly to Regal or soldiers, you can naturally check the identity of Ial.

The period during which he worked as a merchant and the period when there were many departures in the Rigal camp overlapped, albeit slightly.

You'll also find out that all the defectors have met with Iar.

Then all the trouble is water bubbles.

The method is ...

In the Diber territory, markets are opened once a month.

Merchants gather and do business.

There are paths that merchants must take to get to the market.

"Now, if you leave it here, the merchant who passes by will deliver it."

In the morning, at a time when the sun has not risen yet, Iar and his men come to the road and place a dead hawk.

All merchants will be able to read the bare minimum, and will know just what the tube attached to the foot by a hawk means.

They should immediately notice and deliver something important.

Cats are taken away by midnight.

After the sun is over, there are too many merchants to put dead bodies.

It's almost time.

"Now, let's look at the progress.

"Yes, let's pray that cats do not take me away."

The two left.

A few minutes later, a merchant passed by and picked up the dead hawk.

I usually ignore it, because it had a weird tube.

And the tube seems to be expensive.

The hawk seems to have been attacked by another large hawk.

Perhaps he was attacked by a large hawk in an attempt to deliver a letter by hawk.

The merchant decides to deliver the tube.

Do not look inside.

These cylinders have a mechanism that you can see if you look inside, and because they use hawk service, they must be important confidential.

Those who know the secret have no choice but to kill them.

Well, the tube was immediately delivered to Regal.

Regal reads the letter in the tube.

The letter was firmly written to "Bermette."

The contents are about what status to give Belmet after betraying Regal.

Unfortunately, the name of the sentence did not have a family crest, but given the situation, it is undoubtedly the one given by the As family or Raymond.

Regal says quietly.

"Reward those who bring this letter, and increase the number of surveillances to Belmet to twenty."

Belmet was angry and visited Rigaru.

If you look over 20 people, you know you're suspicious.

If you do this, you will be killed.

But I won't listen to you. Regal is a man who does not bend his mind once he has thought.

Belmet's heart was full of anger at Almus Ass, who took such a sloppy plan, angry at Rigaru, who believed it simply, and regrets of his defeat.

"What's wrong, Belmet?"

"No, Mr. Regal. Actually, I am also a year. The path for Regal to become king is now standing. I will retire here."

Belmet dismissed it and left the mansion without listening to Rigal.

And he withdrew into his house.

Losing loyalty to Regal has lost the benefits of Blessing of the Great King.

Bellmet died in a flash as the originally controlled illness evolved rapidly.

He is 82 years old.

But Belmet might have been happy.

His clan is not involved in rebellion, and he is saved.
