356 A glimpse with the messenger

"… the above is the royal life issued by the royal family. The Fontana family only hopes that they will soon form an alliance with the royal family and act as hegemonic nobles. How about a reply, Lord Ars von Barca, Principal Agent of the Fontana Family"

"It's a great honor to tell you that the Fontana family is currently concentrating on dealing with the immortals who had sightings in the North Forest. I know it will be difficult for the Fontana Army to keep sending troops lightly far away unless you clear them up."

"What? I remember like there was no such information. Did the immortals or something really come out?

"I'm checking right now. But we cannot act in total disregard, beyond the fact that a few years ago we have clearly confirmed with our eyes the existence of the immortal. Forgive me."

"Then let me also wish from me to the Church to request an Archbishop who can carry out the rite of purification promptly. If we do, we should be able to deal with the immortals as soon as possible, even if they come out. If so, there is no problem with the Fontana family acting as hegemonic nobles"

"No, not at all. There is already an archbishop on Fontana territory. For this reason, it is possible to perform the ritual of purification at any time. But that's why Fontana's power is not mighty to empty the land and go as far as the Wang Metropolitan Area. It's an impudent story."

"... then you mean that as a Fontana family you cannot obey the royal fate?

"There is no annihilation. I don't mean to be hairy. but as it stands, it doesn't matter. I just told you exactly what's going on with the Fontana family today."

"You don't seem to understand, there's something that might also be the principal proxy of the Fontana family. Since ancient times, this country has been governed by royalty and nobility. Now the royal family is asking for the prestigious Fontana family, who have sworn allegiance to the first king. Now is the time to restore the land to its normal state. Although Lord Barca most likely comes from a peasant who doesn't exactly have that noble blood flowing, it doesn't seem that the seriousness of the matter has been accurately inferred."

"… As I may say, the Apostle also naturally knows the existential significance of the thing called the aristocracy. Ever since the First King once had an interest in this country, he has let every aristocrat rule everywhere. Why is that? That is to respond immediately to the immortals appearing on vast national soil. That our Fontana family is focused on fulfilling the original role given to them by the First King. I don't think so. The king said to give up the role of nobility over the first king."

"But the presence of the immortal and so on has not emerged for a long time. We can't let that kind of fairy tale spoil the stability of the country."

"You say this is strange. It is new to my memory that the presence of the immortal was confirmed a few years ago. If the Apostle was in a safe place called the Wang Metropolitan Area, do you think such a story is a euphemism? If so, doesn't that mean you also don't believe at all in the Church, which recognized the existence of the Immortal at the time?

"That's not true. I'm not saying that. Lord Barca, please don't distort the story too much. All I'm saying is that the Fontana family will not despise their lives."

"Excuse me for this. I ask you to forgive my haste. And as the Apostle said, the Fontana family can't possibly be scorning the royal family or anything like that. You can tell by the actions of our predecessors, who fought to protect the previous king."

"So you mean you'll receive the royal decree?

"So, as I told you earlier, the current Fontana family cannot leave the land. As a nobleman who has protected this land for generations, he wants to focus first and foremost on dealing with the immortal, in order to preserve the peace of the people."

You're persistent. This guy is.

A messenger from the King's capital, carrying the royal life and the doings, came to the city of Fontana.

Earlier than I thought, I arrived before it was still hot.

Apparently, they've been traveling in a hurry using fast moving dragon riders, etc.

I met the messenger quickly and officially heard the royal life and the doings.

And that was exactly what Lion had heard beforehand.

It is an alliance between the royal family and the Fontana family, which requires the Fontana family to act as hegemonic nobles.

Of course, I can't do that.

We have discussed it with other Fontana knights beforehand and have decided that this royal life is in any case a policy of going through.

but it sticks more than I thought.

Immortal sighting information should be a pretty serious matter, but still a gun-pushing messenger.

Over there, maybe he's here because he told me to wrap up the story at all costs.

I know it's hard with orders from above, but you can't pull this one off either.

I had managed to say no peacefully with an arm push operation on the warm curtain.

"I see. So why don't we do this? How about the Fontana family placing only part of the army in the king's capital? This would help us cope with what happened in Fontana territory, and keep the Wang Metropolitan Area safe. How about that?"

"... what? No, that's hard. The Fontana army is not as large as the other great nobles, the stronger they are. You know what you can do with a divided army."

"No way, I'm not being modest. The strength of the Fontana army is now where all things can be known. More importantly, we hear that Barca has a Warcraft unit. He played a big part in the Percival family crusade. Yeah, that's good. Place the Warcraft unit in the King's Capital. Then the king will rejoice."

"… the Apostle. Is that what you're saying about the Valkyrie troops in my Barca?

"Ruri. With its Valkyrie Warcraft-type servant beast, the Wang Metropolitan Area would be safe. This is a royal life. As soon as the Fontana family sends all the warcraft to the king's capital. If you're going against this, it's not strange to see it as a disobedience to the king."

This guy, are you serious?

No way, you came to the city of Fontana for this from the beginning?

Put all the Valkyries in the king's capital?

... Maybe it has something to do with the fast legged dragon rider who came here.

Ordinary servant beasts change their appearance by the magic of the person, so that when the person dies, they will not be able to obtain the same servant beast.

but exceptions exist in everything.

Maybe I have the art of using the Valkyrie I got to breed in the King's Capital.

Or do you know that Valkyrie can easily be mass-produced with just servant beast eggs?

But when I was talking to this messenger, I knew.

This guy, no, the royal family sees Fontana pretty much down there about me as its principal agent.

The atmosphere is pumped to do it without saying a mess because the king is ordering it.

I guess this just means I'm being licked.

I don't know, I still wondered why I had to listen to the royal orders.

I have sworn allegiance to the dead Carlos, but I have not sworn allegiance to the royal family.

Besides, I don't care about protecting the king from the work of Carlos, who died, and I don't care about conveniently taking it from here.

The last thing I care about is telling you to give me the Valkyrie.

The moment I heard that, blood climbed on my head.

I remember the old days.

Speaking of which, I thought it was the beginning of what I had become all this fighting about, once a soldier who came to the village of Vulca had told me to give him the Valkyrie.

And one of the things I've learned in my life so far is that "we need to be on the same table to make the discussion happen".

Right now, I'm talking to the messenger in front of me, but the person behind it is the royal family.

The royal family doesn't even recognize the shards with whom I should negotiate at a table of equivalence.

I took it to the royal family and they think I'm just a grown peasant, someone who should unconditionally obey the king's orders.

I mean, it probably doesn't make much sense no matter how many words you exchange with this messenger.

So, what do we do?

When I thought about it, I thought about it.

I thought I could cut my hand off with the royal family.

Isn't that the best thing you can do if you're going to give me an irrational order with your gaze from above?

Yeah, let's do that.

"Bite brother, do it"

"Ooh."

The next moment I came up with a good idea, I moved on to action.

I give a shout out to my part-time brother, who was between us.

After hearing that short word of mine, my part-time brother moved quickly.

Understand what I'm trying to say.

At the next moment, the royal messenger who visited the city of Fontana was to be summoned to heaven without ever treading on the earth of the king's capital again.

The messenger's job is tough, too.

I thought of it that way like other HR.

Thus, the Fontana family, without any foretaste, abruptly launched an attitude of separation from the royal family.
