Later, the Rossais army sieged Gehenna and unilaterally declared:
"Elections must be made within a week and a representative must be decided. Only with that representative, King Almus will negotiate. '
There seems to be some confusion, but Gehenna has properly chosen a representative and sent it here.
The chosen man seems to be a politician distant from Abraham.
If we assume that Abraham's side is right and anti-Abraham's left, then the middle left is probably appropriate.
It seemed that both Abraams and anti-Abraams had good support.
"I can't apologize this time. His Majesty King Almus"
First, the representative sent from Gehenna bowed to me.
My anger has subsided, as the neck of the mastermind bounced off.
So you don't have to apologize ... but I greeted the apology with a grumpy attitude.
For now, it would be better to pretend to be angry.
"I thought Gehenna was an important friend, but I'm sorry."
"……I am truly sorry"
Lower your head again.
… Hmm, the ability as a diplomat is not inferior to Iar.
I just look down at the representative who bows down.
I'm so scared, my hands are shaking.
Well, Gehenna was because Abraham was in charge of everything.
The politicians are probably not growing.
"Honestly, the belly bugs haven't healed, but fortunately Julia hasn't died, and the mastermind has killed him with his hand. It would be reasonable for a civilized person to rule his sword around here. ...... I hope they show sincerity. "
I stared at Gehenna's representative.
The representative answered with a trembling voice.
"Yes, yes ... we're going to do our best to apologize."
Gehenna's representative presented the conditions with a frightened expression.
-Gehenna is annexed to the kingdom of Rosais with alliance treatment.
-Transfer all interests in Gehenna's Kanayama to King Rossais.
Gehenna will no longer form an army.
Take the sons of Gehenna's leading politicians to study in the kingdom of Rossais.
Establish an embassy between the two countries.
... not bad.
Or rather, it's more than you think.
Diplomatic negotiations usually present conditions that are initially unacceptable.
In other words, this representative feels that I do not accept this condition.
Do you think all Gehenna citizens will be killed?
That's rude.
"I don't mind the autonomous city treatment. Instead, pay 500 Tarants immediately and pay 1,000 Taranto for 10 years."
"Thank you for your generous treatment!"
You're not thanking the invaders.
"And your Majesty. What happens to me?"
"It depends on Tetra."
I answer Abraham's question.
Julia probably doesn't care so much. In fact, there was no damage.
So the question is whether Tetra allows.
As a matter of fact, the primary victim in this case is Tetra.
The runaways of the Ass clan militants have made Tetra's position much worse than before.
Tetra is very concerned about this.
"At least, I'm not going to kill you, but I'm not willing to help you. So if I ask Tetra for my life, I'll help her if I don't care. Let me beep. "
"Hah ... yes, so let's look forward to the granddaughter's passion"
"What do you do? Tetra"
I called Tetra and asked.
Since Julia is also a party, she is present.
"... What do you do?"
"You have the option of killing in the sense of taking responsibility. You have the option of preserving it as a card to Gehenna. Well, neither has much effect. So Tetra wants to help that man or ask her will. "
Tetra opens her mouth after thinking a bit.
"The victim is Julia. Yulia must decide."
"I don't care which way I've been killed, I'm not actually killed, I don't have any grudges, but I don't think I'm going to save my life aggressively because I was killed if I was bad , Isn't this because of the poor management of that person? ... I respect that opinion if Tetra wants to help. If Tetra doesn't allow it, I'd better execute him. "
Yulia is just a victim and not a victim.
Yulia's position has not wavered.
Meanwhile, Tetra's political position has deteriorated in this case.
I'm not going to do this with Tetra ...
Unless I am divorced, it's not a problem.
It would be a good nuisance for Tetra.
"... I want to talk to that person.
"...... Hello. Your grandfather."
"Is it Princess Princess Tetra?"
Tetra faces Abraam in a room under the palace.
Abraham's gaze naturally goes to Tetra's large stomach.
"Do you want to touch?"
"... Is it OK, Princess Tetra?"
"Tetra is fine"
Abraham fearfully touches Tetra's stomach.
"... It moved. When was it born?"
"Schedule for November"
"Is it a little more than two months?"
Abraham looks somewhere far away.
"I met you ... about four years ago? It was when you and Gemini were to visit Gehenna ... I doubted my eyes. Helen ... A daughter who had survived over time I thought he did. ''
"I couldn't understand without telling me ... Mother and grandfather are not similar."
Abraham smiles with a honest impression of Tetra.
"I'm often told. She was a girl who didn't look like me at all.
"... Is it round?"
Tetra tilted her head.
Abraham in Tetra's memory was a more ambitious person.
Grandchildren and great-grandchildren-using Tetras and Anks to try to engage in internal affairs in the kingdom of Rosais.
He must have been such a man.
In fact, until a few years ago, Tetra felt the ambition of Abraham.
But now I can't feel the ambition I had before.
"Yes, I thought I was going to use you and Prince Anks to turn the land of King Rossais upside down, in order to secure Gehenna's interests. It was changing from securing interests to survival of Gehenna, and I noticed that my desire to interfere with domestic politics had diminished. "
Abraham sighed.
And look somewhere far away.
"I was a lieutenant ... about thirty-five. Was it exactly when Helena was fifteen? I was full of ambition at that time. The next time I took control of Gehenna was Lezad and Nemes He later wanted to conquer the Greek cities of the southern part of Greece, and then ruled over the entire island of Trisiceria, taking control of Pofenia, and of the mainland cities, and ruled the Tethys Sea. I was seriously thinking about doing it. ''
Abraham speaks with nostalgia, but sadly.
Abraham's dream was that he had failed until he ruled Gehenna.
"When I saw Majesty Tetra, I thought I would use it when I saw Herms. After all, I guess she was still a young man with little experience. Indeed, Her Majesty was a young man with little experience. He was a young lion. ''
Almus quickly gained control and increased its international status.
Foreign powers, mainly Abraam, repeatedly interfered with domestic affairs, and at one point developed into one important thing: refusal of military service by the commoners.
Later, Lezad and Nemes were merged, and even Pofenia shattered.
Almus did what Abraham couldn't do very easily.
"Of course, the groundwork will be different. It's a big deal. Before His Majesty the King of Almus, King Rosais had a solid foundation of national power. The land of Rosaith is rare in the Adernia and the land is fertile. And the centralization was progressing little by little, and there were some good generals like General Bartolo. "
But that's good.
Even Gehenna couldn't lose ... no, there was more ground.
"My fault was that I had executed and expelled the rebels, so I was depleted of talent. At that time, those who disagreed with me a little bit, and those who rebelled looked like enemies And if he's a better guy than me, he'll think about what to do if he's betrayed. "
"There is a difference between Almus and vessels"
Tetra is proudly proud.
Abraham smiled with a bitter smile.
However, Almus is also purging.
"When I saw the progress of Herms, I realized the age and my limitations. I thought I couldn't beat this young man. I guess he's old. ''
Did you start aging when you thought you could not beat Almus?
Did you believe that you could not beat Almus because you were old?
I don't know which one goes first.
What is certain, however, is that Abraham was unable to beat Almus forever since then.
"Huh ... I don't want to get old"
"Yeah"
Tetra and Abraam smiled.
"Can you ask me about Tetra, Helen? And a man like Radow who took Helen .... I don't have to say if it's hot ..."
"It's okay. It's old days. I've avenged me. And my grandfather has the right to listen."
Tetra said so and talked with her parents.
More than a decade ago, Tetra doesn't even remember his personality. However, he recalls hard and talks to Abraam about Helena in his lifetime.
Afterwards, the discussion shifted to meeting Almus.
Seventy percent are talking about love with Almus, but Abraham listens to it with pleasure.
"It seems good that Her Majesty has made Tetra happy."
"Natural. I like Almus the most."
Abraham laughs vaguely.
He corrected his posture and lowered his head deeply.
"I can't do it. It was about to destroy Tetra's happiness. It's my fault."
"... I'm okay. Because it's an attempt. Don't worry .... More I want you to raise my head. "
When Tetra says so, Abraham slowly raised his head.
With a very sunny look, Abraham told Tetra.
"Thank you, Tetra"
The two hugged each other.
After Tetra leaves, Abraam sighs.
"I'm human waste. Tetra can't kill me. I knew that before I apologized ..."
It cannot be forgiven.
Your mistake is not a good thing to be forgiven.
"Gehenna was conquered by my mismanagement. My granddaughter also worsened my political position. Should I live on it? By making a precedent that was forgiven and forgiven to my relatives, my grandson and her husband's feet And continue to trouble Gehenna's people as hostages against Gehenna? "
Such a thing cannot be overwhelmed.
Above all, Abraham himself does not allow.
"Be clean and quiet when you die. Don't cling to life in vain."
Abraham removes the ring jewel from his finger.
I took out a small pill hidden under the jewel.
"I was prepared and the answer was correct."
Abraham swallowed the pill.
