544 Episode 527: Should be Allowed

The state of war fell into a state of stalemate.

This is a thousand cordons at the fort, and two thousand outside.

There were about 3,000 of them, including the wounded.

We and the Duke's Army have been at war ever since we were stuck together.

In the meantime, Marcel will lead another expedition to the capital.

Probably entered the fort to protect the city, and was ready for the castle battle.And bargaining with the prince.

Criticism is unavoidable, but we can get you to a negotiating table.

The longer the defectors go on, the more the Duke's army will collapse, and the more they will reconcile.

Probably a guarantee of the nobility's identity.

Marcel will return to his kingdom while he does that.

You can win victory in the Duchy.

However, the Duke must be on his side in order to win the battle against the Kingdom.

And Marcel is an important figure in the kingdom.Don't let them get away with it, it's worth the effort.

"Well, it doesn't give me time to impose..."

Marcel's movements were impressive.

Half moved in the middle of the night.

It was too late when I noticed it.

If we go after them, we'll get pinched in any way.

And we're going to leave the base.

But if we let them escape, we can fortify our defenses.And the bargaining trump card is on the other side.

When Marcel retreated. That was the last thing I could do.

I don't think we have a chance against Marcel anymore.

After all, we couldn't hunt them down.

With a sigh, Julio rushed towards me.

Your Highness! Eva is leading the border army!

"You were surprisingly quick." But where did you get that information? "

"Eva and I have innate magic that uses sound.Even if we're distanced by a sound that only we can hear, we can still contact you. ”

"Convenient, don't you think, Captain Lars?"

I don't know. I know twins who communicate without using innate magic.

Finn nodded to Lars' words.

They're not funny.

If you had told me it was amazing, the story would have spread.

Well, I couldn't deny that it was plain enough for innate magic.

It was something that could be reproduced even with current magic.

Of course, it is better to have one than not to have one.

"Let's tim the siege!"With this, the opponent doesn't even have the technique to make it! "

"Hmm... Young Master Julio. Do you see them?"

I point to the Duke's army.

Giulio nodded in confusion.

"Yeah, yeah..."

Which one is your enemy?

"Wait, are you the enemy? Isn't that all of them?"

"No, your only enemy is the Duke of Pastore."Other than that, I'm not your enemy. "

"What do you mean...?"

“It's a simple story. They just made a mistake.Some of them didn't even have a choice.They should be given a chance. "

"Do you mean to forgive them and make them subordinates...?"

“That's right. We'll need to get rid of it, but if we get rid of all the aristocrats on Duke Pastoré's side, the country will be lost.”

"That's true... but they're the ones who cursed my father and me."You could have betrayed me. "

Julio's words were very emotional and understandable.

What do you think, Captain Lars?

"I have the same idea as my son."The aristocrats chose the duke, regardless of the terminal soldier.I should have sworn allegiance to the king, but I broke it and became a duke.They had a two-mindedness.I was told to use it as a subordinate, but I couldn't do it myself.Besides, it is unpleasant to ignore such a reasoning, but it is unpleasant to be a human who did not take sides with himself or who did not recognize himself.I don't feel good apologizing or accepting it later. ”

Lars shrugged his shoulders and said so.

I don't know if it's true or not.

I'm just saying what I want you to say.

Lars is no monarch at all.

That being said, I am in a position not to have any problems.

But not me or Julio.

"When you stand on top of people, it's hard to forgive.Even if you don't want to forgive emotionally, sometimes you have to.They did make a mistake.I had a chance to put it right.But in the end, it didn't move much.They may seem worthless, or they may seem incompetent enough to recognize the situation.But still, forgiveness shows the vessel.You are the heir to the prince.Don't let the momentum overwhelm them.They're not enemies. You should put your knees to the ground, my lord. "

Julio seems to understand my words and nods several times.

However, I wasn't convinced on the emotional side.

Well, that's fine now.

Giulio is a sensible boy.

If you understand it, you'll understand it sooner or later.

The important thing is, don't overattack here.

As long as it is protected, the Lord's royal victory will be confirmed.

■■■

The advent of the border troops was not dramatic.

The number is eight thousand.

It appeared behind the Duke's army and completely surrounded the Duke's army.

There is no chance of winning in this situation.Unlike us, we don't have a stronghold.

It seems that the Duke of Pastoré insisted on a total stand-off, but his men seized him and instead the Count of Adornat offered to surrender to us.

And.

"Remember what we were talking about before the war, Oskar?"

"Yes... I remember"

In front of me and Julio were the rope-bound Count Adornat and Oskar.

The Duke of Pastoré has already been imprisoned.An important hostage to negotiate with my son in the capital.I don't know if it's worth it.

"You betrayed Prince Giulio and followed the Duke."I saw it as an advantage for the Duke.How do you feel now that I've been reminded that I can't see? "

……

"Count Adornat, if my son is my son, then my father is my father too, right?At the very least, if you stayed neutral, you would have been safe. "

"... Your Highness is right." It's just that my son was tipped off by my opinion.Let us be guilty, but please forgive us. "

"Yes, that's right. Do you have anything to say, Oskar?"

"... I didn't have the eyes to see it.Now I'm ashamed of my incompetence... "

"Well, you must be embarrassed." If I win, I'll beg for your life, so I'll tell you I want you to thank me, and now I'm on the rope.Why can't a fool say anything more than that?It's strange, I can't help it. "

Just say it, and I'll raise my right hand.

Nelve Ritter and the rest pulled out their swords.

So, Your Highness!? Will you help my son alone?!

"The duke uses it as a hostage." But we need to get down to business.Count Adornat, second only to the Duke, and his son Oskar.It is only natural that the two of them should be beheaded.Is there something weird about that? "

"Please, please..."

"I'm sorry to hear that." I'm telling the truth.I have to save my life. "

That said, I waved my hand down.

On that signal, Nelve Ritter and the others swung down their swords.

But the sword was stopped by Julio's voice.

"Wait! Your Highness, Arnold!"

"What's the matter, Julio?"

"This is the Principality of Albatro. I'll take care of the nobility."

"Do you think you're going to do it?"

"No, I won't kill anyone."

"...... how are you going to put on the finishing touches?"

"I'll think of a way other than spinning my neck.Untie the rope. Transfer the two of you. "

"Young Master... thank you!" I will not forget this gratitude! "

"Stop it, Oskar." I know you owe me a debt. [M]Your words are not convincing. "

"I will definitely try to regain my trust...!"Thank you! Thank you! "

Oskar repeatedly rubbed his head against the ground and said thanks.

After the two were transferred, Julio exhaled deeply.

"I'd like to ask... what would have happened if I hadn't stopped?"

"The two of you fell on your necks."

"I see..."

Only a few people have told Julio he should be forgiven.

So if it hadn't been stopped, the two would have been slaughtered by now.

The fears inflicted were great.

"While saying that it should be forgiven, I take the initiative to slash it."Your Highness is a terrible man. "

"In the world, candles and whips are important."You have no choice but to offer candy. [M]Then I'll just whip it. "

That's why I stand up.

The defeat of the Duke is decisive.

The Duke's nobility will be here as well.

With the addition of the border troops, the battle force was completely reversed.

Anyway, a lot of people made up their minds.

How do we win?

And how do they lose?

That's the kind of fight.
