"This is again..., you caught an unexpected big man"
Leaving the assassins to those of the Empress's exclusive Kingsguard, the three moved their rooms: Ludwig, Dion and Banos. To discuss the future.
"I didn't think the Royal Family of Ganudos had anything to do with it."
Banos shakes his head in a sigh mix.
"This is exactly where the enemy lands are, though. Now, what lies ahead..."
"Hmm, isn't there anything? If you stand up and hostile to the Empire, you'll just be crushed. Well, you wouldn't admit to being involved so easily."
Dion cut the words and turned to Ludwig.
"I guess the question is, what do we do better? What do we do, Lord Ludwig?
"Right...... Whether they're enemies or allies, just be clear, it'll be a lot easier to do"
said Ludwig as he put his arms together.
"It would be a sort of restraint if we let them know that this one is aware of the identity of the assassin's hire, or at least suspicion. Or if Mia returns, she might be used as some sort of bargaining ingredient. but..."
On top of that......,
"Again, don't worry a little... I think you should meet King Ganudos soon."
Relationship between the Duke of Yellowmoon family and the port State...... reasoning that emerges from it......
I really just wanted to hear from the king to make sure it was true.
"Do you want me to punch you in? Well, if it's just me and Lord Ludwig, it's possible to sneak in..."
"No, let's apply for a dignified look. We can't ignore the assassin any more than he has in our hands."
For Tiermoon and Ganudos, it is not desirable for the relationship to be twisted. Therefore, if possible, I want to settle for a lot in the form of just talks, and the other person should.
Such Ludwig readings hit me.
Two days later, permission to see was granted, and Ludwig and Dion were to visit the corner of the castle, between the sights.
Though a small country, this can be described as an unusual event in the midst of the unusual, given that the other party is the country's long-lasting king.
"This is the wisdom of the empire, the right arm of Her Royal Highness Princess Meer and the famous Lord Ludwig Hewitt, and the empire's most powerful knight, Lord Dion Alaia. I've heard rumors about both names."
King Ganudos was a man of roughly no match for royalty.
From the grin and tone that made him feel somewhere mesmerizing and despicable, he even felt an atmosphere that was still like an old civilian.
"Thank you for responding to this sudden meeting."
"What, you can't keep the loyal minister of the Empire's wisdom. There seems to be some serious misunderstanding if you ask. We will not gain each other if we cause useless strife between the Empire and our port nation."
Ludwig observed the king speaking in a gentle tone.
At first glance he was King Ganudos under the impression of trinkets, cowardice and humility..., but in his eyes he could see a sharp glimmer of wisdom.
Wise man and schemer. Ludwig decides that he is by no means an alarming opponent.
Therefore... it's not someone I can't see for myself, either.
Because if you were true intellectuals... you would, for example, play out a respected master or a complete fool if you were the Lord dedicated to loyalty.
of the glittering of intelligence, because even a piece of it would cover up and induce the opponent to be alert.
At a time when it had not been possible, the opponent was capable of defeating enough and Ludwig watched.
"Now let's hear more about this."
Along with the king's words, Ludwig breathes small and switches his thoughts.
"Actually, the other day, I was targeted for my life..."
"Well, is that within this port?
"In the corner of the king's capital, in the alley by the church"
"That was very rude. It's certainly not a very secure area around here. Because of the land pattern in this harbour country, there's a lot of pirate mischief going on."
- I see, what the outlaw did on his own, are you going to insist?
Ludwig pushed up his glasses small enough to
"We have captured and questioned them, and they claim that they have come to your death"
"Oh, my God! Do something stupid. Did you really come here after what you said, my lord?
King showing exaggerated surprise. Ludwig was silently observing it.
"But I thought it was just an outrage of outlaws, or a plot to get our country and our empire to get along... Hmm. Apparently, your lord believes in the words of those rogues."
"Right. We have enough certainty to believe what they say."
No matter, it's just a bluff......, I dare step in here.
I was hoping to elicit the only reaction from the king...
"Ha ha, then I have no choice. I tried to train ex-pirates, but apparently they weren't working out enough. Anyway, my country is a small country that can't keep its army in place, so we don't have a lot of room to use."
"... I mean, admit it,"?
Even with only a few surprises, Ludwig asks.
"No matter how much I deny it, your lord will not be convinced. If so, it is also a pleasure to talk aboard that premise. What, I don't care what you say here anyway, there's nothing to it. That's how you know it."
- I see, I didn't tell you. Are you going to make it a watering theory... I guess that's why I used the pirates.
No matter how Ludwig or Dion insists on King Ganudos' confession, it makes no sense if the king himself denies it.
The Duke of Greenmoon, who has a deep relationship with this country, would place more faith in the King's words than in Ludwig, a civilian. He would argue that pirate testimony is irresponsible, and try to take it for granted.
If there were Meer on this occasion, the king would never have acknowledged it.
Instantly thinking that far, Ludwig nodded. That's fine, then.
Such matters are end-of-life. I'd rather hear it, because it's the part ahead of me.
"So I ask you to get straight to the point that this is a limited-time thing..., but the reason you aimed at me is still because they don't know about the relationship between the Duke of Yellowmoon family and Ganudos?
"Well... I don't know what you're talking about. I did have a relationship with the Duke of Yellowmoon back in the day, but that's what it is..."
"The Duke of Greenmoon family is an easy lifeline to cut. Isn't that what this is about?
Ludwig guessed.
Purpose of the Port State of Ganudos…, is that not to make the Tiermoon Empire dependent and starve to death when the time comes?
Food self-sufficiency in the empire is extremely low today. If we change the way we say it, that means we rely on imports from foreign countries for a significant proportion.
Nor do the aristocrats exactly think of decreasing their own agricultural land, even though, of course, there is no formula attached to the availability of food. No matter how obsessed with the ridiculous idea of anti-farming ideas was.
And one of its importers was Ganudos.
The sea-facing port of Ganudos is a country rich in seafood resources. The abundance of sea delights is sure to colour some of the food of the Empire and is becoming something that must now be done.
Therefore…, if imports from Ganudos are interrupted when food is scarce due to famine, etc., the impact on the Empire will be immeasurable.
If it was the purpose of the port State of Ganudos to create that state….
"In that case, what we want to avoid is early imperial military intervention. If the Empire moves troops before they are exhausted, they cannot be resisted by the power of the Port State. Therefore, the port State must consistently pretend to be a friend of the Empire. Restricting imports must also only be blamed for deficiencies in the negotiations. So my ally, the Duke of Yellowmoon, shouldn't have been the negotiator"
Escape the Duke of Greenmoon out of the country. That's how it goes, and on the table, it sticks that we only negotiate with the Green Moon family.
Furthermore, in the unlikely event that the army is about to be moved, the Duke of Yellow Moon, the corner of the House of the Four Grand Dukes, will be asked to work to obstruct it. It would be convenient if there were collaborators of great nobility within the Empire.
Regardless, I don't know if the Duke of Greenmoon will work as calculated, but if it doesn't work, you just have to assassinate him and hide the body and go missing.
You can also buy time while you're at it, such as the inheritance of the housekeeper of the Greenmoon family.
Ludwig's thoughts were in that form.
"Were you going to win, hostile to the Empire?
"Well... hostile?
The king said, smiling calmly at his mouth.
"That our empire is hostile to the Empire and other thoughts are unexpected. Isn't it? There are policing forces in port countries to control pirates, but that is insignificant compared to the mighty Imperial Army. It's a bad joke that we're hostile to a mighty empire without all the force."
Ludwig was flabbergasted by the story.
No way, I never thought of using the weakness of the military as a veil to cover up or hide the conspiracy, etc.
"Do you think you can imitate stopping food exports to the Empire when famine strikes, assuming you have such a plan… to open the battlefield on that basis?
If that was military action...... If you mean you grabbed a plan to invade the Empire by the army, I guess that would be a good reason to start a war. Because that is a clear attack.
But in the future, if there is a "famine," "stop selling food" is not an attack.
It's too euphemistic to realize the crisis.
That plan wouldn't be activated unless there was famine in the first place......
In other words, the conspiracy of the port State of Ganudos lacks both aggressiveness and aggressiveness.
It's extremely vague and can't even be called a conspiracy in the first place, which makes it difficult to confirm existence and contest.
Ludwig has some confidence in his reasoning, but it does not go beyond reasoning.
If they told me it was a dream story, it was something I couldn't say back, and I didn't think I could wage war on port states for it.
If it is the country where the barbarians live, it has to be known, because opening the warring end without any great name between those who believe in God of the same Central Orthodox Church will give other nations a gap to contend with.
- Ganudos' actions will not be an attack as long as the empire firmly establishes a system of food self-sufficiency in the first place.
Bad anti-farming ideology…, without it, things like Ganudos' plan can't happen.
It was rather there that Ludwig felt uncomfortable.
- Even though it has been obstinately planned over so many years that it has become distracting, the elements that rely on the failure of the other country and the weather are too great. When it comes to hunger, it can be something that happens once every few decades, but there will also be things that will be lightly overshadowed when you do poorly about the empire's demise.
I can't even think of anti-farming ideas themselves as spreading by Ganudos' ally, the Duke of Yellowmoon, but I feel something catching on somewhere.
How, though the corner of the House of the Four Grand Dukes, can you exercise that much influence by fulfilling it? The nobles also belong to the factions of the other four Dukes.
That's all I thought about, Ludwig shook his head small.
"Either way..., we will reform the Empire under you, Meer. Once the food self-sufficiency system is in place, the Ganudos Port State's strategy will no longer take shape."
Even so told, King Ganudos was not particularly disturbed.
"Right. It is also a pleasure for my country to see the problems of friendly countries improve. It's only a little shame that the food deal with our country may be reduced, but, well, there's nothing to talk about within the Empire. Because our country is a small, weak country."
When he heard the words, Ludwig learned unsatisfactory anxiety.
After dropping off Ludwig and the others, the king smiled calmly.
"Will the oldest loyal Duke of Yellowmoon family rival the Emperor's beloved and princess? I see, I was born in an interesting time..."
A curse covenant tying the empire, which was now about to be revealed.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Because that is a clear attack.But in the future, if there is a "famine," "stop selling food" is not an attack.It's too euphemistic to realize the crisis.That plan wouldn't be activated unless there was famine in the first place......In other words, the conspiracy of the port State of Ganudos lacks both aggressiveness and aggressiveness.It's extremely vague and can't even be called a conspiracy in the first place, which makes it difficult to confirm existence and contest.Ludwig has some confidence in his reasoning, but it does not go beyond reasoning.If they told me it was a dream story, it was something I couldn't say back, and I didn't think I could wage war on port states for it.If it is the country where the barbarians live, it has to be known, because opening the warring end without any great name between those who believe in God of the same Central Orthodox Church will give other nations a gap to contend with.- Ganudos' actions will not be an attack as long as the empire firmly establishes a system of food self-sufficiency in the first place.Bad anti-farming ideology, without it, things like Ganudos' plan can't happen.It was rather there that Ludwig felt uncomfortable.- Even though it has been obstinately planned over so many years that it has become distracting, the elements that rely on the failure of the other country and the weather are too great. When it comes to hunger, it can be something that happens once every few decades, but there will also be things that will be lightly overshadowed when you do poorly about the empire's demise.I can't even think of anti-farming ideas themselves as spreading by Ganudos' ally, the Duke of Yellowmoon, but I feel something catching on somewhere.How, though the corner of the House of the Four Grand Dukes, can you exercise that much influence by fulfilling it? The nobles also belong to the factions of the other four Dukes.That's all I thought about, Ludwig shook his head small."Either way..., we will reform the Empire under you, Meer. Once the food self-sufficiency system is in place, the Ganudos Port State's strategy will no longer take shape."Even so told, King Ganudos was not particularly disturbed."Right. It is also a pleasure for my country to see the problems of friendly countries improve. It's only a little shame that the food deal with our country may be reduced, but, well, there's nothing to talk about within the Empire. Because our country is a small, weak country."When he heard the words, Ludwig learned unsatisfactory anxiety.After dropping off Ludwig and the others, the king smiled calmly."Will the oldest loyal Duke of Yellowmoon family rival the Emperor's beloved and princess? I see, I was born in an interesting time..."A curse covenant tying the empire, which was now about to be revealed.
