237 Lesson 88: The Weakest and Oldest Last Duke

Until sundown, Ludwig strolled through the king's capital of Ganudos.

After hearing all sorts of rumors and going around at markets, town shops, etc., he decided to go back to the inn and have a late dinner at the attached tavern.

Earlier on about his seat, Banos asked for a drink for both of us, mostly with his hands up.

And then, as I recall something,

"... well, are the princesses having fun?"

"Hmm? Something to worry about?

"No, a few of the men I accompanied... Oh, don't get me wrong, do you? It's a first-class product when it comes to armpit. Captain Dion trained me. I have no doubt it involves combat work. The guard at the Duke of Greenmoon is good enough for both of us, so we can protect the princess if the thief shows up."

Ludwig remembered those of the enhanced Empress Dedicated Kingsguard.

All the desolates, but certainly, on the battlefield, they were likely to depend.

"I'm a little suspicious when it comes to loyalty to the Empire, because His Royal Highness owes it to you. I have no doubt that when it comes to fighting, I will risk my life..."

Banos laughed bitterly.

"I don't care, Gala's not nice. There's something a little suspicious about your loyalty to the princess and your liquor."

… it is a guess.

"Well, there's no point in worrying about that here. Meer, your alumni, His Royal Highness the Prince, you two stand on your arms, and you have your squire, Lord Keithwood. Now let's do what we can."

Ludwig shrugged his shoulders small, then tightened his expression just a little.

"Let's keep the information organized. I'm under the impression that I've only been listening around for a short time... but the Duke of Greenmoon doesn't seem to have a very good reputation"

"Right. He didn't seem desperate or foolish, and this would be more humane for His Royal Highness."

Arm up, yeah yeah, and nodding banos.

"Nevertheless, the negotiations are all such as to pass through the Greenmoon family,. Those above the country could be getting some benefit, but it's unnatural nonetheless..."

It's hard to even think the Duke of Greenmoon family is fat enough to acquire all the upper levels. This situation nonetheless. What the hell does this mean......

"A lot of you, you come from a country beyond the Gallerian Sea?

All the while, the owner of the store called. He was a slightly crooked old man, but his skill in cooking was brilliant enough to tell from a distance that he was skilled.

"No, we're from the continent..., we're from the Empire"

"Oh, of the Empire...... So, what's going on at the Duke of Yellow Moon's house now?

To the old man's inquiry, Ludwig tilted his neck small.

"Hmm? Oh, you mean the Duke of Greenmoon house? Then..."

"No, no. Otherwise, Lord Yellowmoon. I heard a long time ago that the harbour country was left to take care of you, right? I've been worried about that ever since I stopped hearing it."

"The House of the Duke of Yellow Moon, is it... Yes, the Duke is magnificent. Your daughter attended St. Noel's School..."

While talking to others, Ludwig was showing confusion.

Because I have never even heard of it before, such as the connection between the Duke of Yellow Moon and the port state of Ganudos.

After finishing his story with the old man, Banos shrugged his shoulders to show Ludwig, who would think about it.

"... that's been a strange story. I'm not sure you're going to hear the name of Yellow Moon, the oldest and weakest star duke here."

Banos put his mouth on the liquor that came along, saying, etc. He raised his voice to the effect that it was hard to drink alcohol, and then reached for the knob dish.

Fresh raw fish from Ganudos specialties were famous enough to make a name for themselves in the neighborhood.

Banos accidentally flaunted his cheeks on the sweet fat that melted the moment he put it on his tongue.

"Tasty... hehe, this guy is useful"

And so Banos stopped his hand. Because Ludwig sinks into deep thought and never tries to get his hands on a meal.

"Was it something that bothered you?

"Something to worry about, huh? Right... has Lord Banos ever heard of the roots of our empire?

"Hey, unfortunately, I'm not familiar with history."

"A vigorous hunting people attacked the fertile Three-Month Zone, the farming people who were growing crops there. That's how we secured many serfs and territories. They say that's the interest of the Empire."

Since the beginning of the empire, the commonsense widely known in the world, Ludwig has a slight nagging.

"But... Actually, there is a theory that our ancestors came across the ocean. It is a powerful theory that some, if not all, of the people are from across the sea, the other side of the Gallerian Sea."

"Ha, well, I see that one. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Doesn't matter now, does it?

Ludwig shook his head at Banos with a look of doubt.

"If you came across the ocean... where would those people go? From the Gallerian Sea to the fertile Three Moon Zone, to where the Empire is today, what route of progression do we take?

"Oh, I see. I mean, the ancestors of the Empire should have gone through this Ganudos port country, because Ludwig's husband wants to say so?

"Oh. Of course, by then, I wouldn't have taken the form of a country yet. It is said that the time of the founding of the Empire and the Port State is almost the same... But......, maybe we should consider that the Empire and the Ganudos Port State have been dating since their founding. And that negotiator was entrusted with the oldest and weakest of the four Dukes..., suppose it was the Duke of Yellowmoon..."

"That's when the Dukes of Greenmoon are going to take the negotiations at their disposal, and within that, that's what's natural, hey. I see you're starting to smell kind of bad, Ludwig's husband."

"You'll need information. I'm sorry, Lord Banos, but I'm going to have to ask you to hang out with me a little bit tomorrow after your meeting with the senator."

"Because I came up with something?

"I still can't say anything..."

Arm up, Ludwig continues with a thought face.

"To the best of my knowledge, it's not those who stand out and have a name, but those who hide behind them."

"That's an odd encounter. That's what's happening, even with my common sense."

Niyali, Ludwig shrugged his shoulder at Banos laughing.

"Somehow it feels like the Duke of Yellowmoon family is a secret in this country. So I'd like to focus on that..."

"Go talk to him and tell him yes, it doesn't look like he's going to tell you, but what are you going to do?

"There are usually two places where you are taking records of this hand. The country and the church. If the country is less trustworthy, it's not until you try to hit someone else."

It took, and the next day, the two of them were to head to the church of the Central Orthodox Church...
