The Southern Region situation worsens, is an unexpected crisis.
Was not Second Dynasty has neglected Southern Region Cecil Family-- in fact, since 100 years ago Mist Month Civil War, has right of inheritance hidden danger new royal family throughout not to relax to the vigilance of Southern Region, in four big protected in country Duke, Cecil was only one because of Mist Month Civil War the family of decline, at the beginning of it declined, the influence of its surviving still sufficiently shook the foundation of entire kingdom, Second Dynasty in another three protected under the support of country Duke, has used the entire 100 years the Southern Region separation and suppression until now this aspect, its attaching great importance to Southern Region can be inferred.
In Gawain? Cecil uncovers the coffin, but, this type attached great importance to really in the past.
Francis II ordering made the Southern Region aristocrat increase the surveillance effort to the Cecil influence, only obtained „the Cecil person to make the potion business to purchase slave” the information \; royal family dispatches in the Southern Region aid team also to mix the scout informer, but these informers then no longer transmit any information quickly \; The garrison troops of rock fort increased 30% in the past 6 months actually, 30% soldiers who just increases have not had any use \; In addition, royal family adviser ministers also through investigating Cecil Family hire the situation of artisan to estimate the construction progress of Cecil territory in King's city, the conclusion that draws was Cecil territory was still at stage that the house insufficiently lived in-- they have not thought that these artisans later were trained the demon to lead the technician and mechanical bachelor to the south......
Silver Castle can say that has made all correct dealing, has not received any correct feedback, biggest mistake that they make, with the mentality of traditional aristocrat, guesses from other world, no matter experience knowledge or thinking mode with average man different „satelite essence” motion pattern.
Have they miscalculated Gawain? Behind Cecil true intention of each action, miscalculates the way that Cecil Family rose, finally, misjudgment the falling to the enemy speed of rock fort.
The direction has made a mistake, any diligently in waste energy.
The situation worsened hence.
„Two Duke, Crown prince, I must tell the facts,” Cromwell? The snow-capped mountain said with the serious serious tone, „, only if the Eastern Region rebel army retreats today, otherwise we impossible to take carry back the rock fort.”
Another knight got the master station, was saying the most awful possibility „, if Cecil Family same sent out troops to attack King's city with Loren Family, we were impossible to win-- only from situation of rock fort downcast, the Cecil army was a powerful enemy.”
An aristocrat cannot bear say that „the knight feudal lord also will fear continually the enemy?”
Cromwell? The snow-capped mountain is staring aristocrat of that speech „we in the statement fact, if they attack King's city, Knight Corps will fight at the last minute, this point work you were not worried.”
„Gentlemen, are calmer,” Victoria? Wilde has interrupted these arguments, her sound is chilly, in both eyes seems containing frost, „Gawain? Duke Cecil has seized rock fort-- he has not gone north.”
„We must determine that Founding Hero goal first,” Beldwin? Franklin Duke nods, followed the Victoria words, „I suggested that sends out the envoy and Southern Region contacts.”
The aristocrats discussed in a low voice, but as a whole, nobody opposed the opinion of Franklin Duke.
„The Eastern Region rebellion is approaching, we cannot suffer a blade in the south again,” Franklin Duke continues saying that „so long as, therefore Gawain? Duke Cecil is willing to discuss, we should discuss. We should be ready, prepares to acknowledge that legitimate rule of Cecil Family to Southern Region, acknowledged the restoration of Cecil Family all honored title, the honor title, the historical manor and aristocrat privilege......”
The discussion sound of aristocrats has increased, on some faces shows the obvious stunned look, but more people are only the look gloomy nods, Wales? Moren looks at these people's responses, sighed slightly.
„Your highness,” Victoria Duchess heard the sigh of Wales, she has turned the head, such as the ice crystal clear eye is staring at this nominal kingdom successor, „did you have the words to say?”
„I thought, we did acknowledge what significance these do not have to that Founding Hero,” Wales? Moren does not want to speak, but slowly has opened the mouth under the gaze of Duchess, „these things already in his hand-- how, no matter we said here, the reconstruction of Cecil duchy is established facts, Franklin Grand Duke, you do want on Grand Duke Cecil to treat as the gift to give him the thing again one time?”
Beldwin? On the face of Franklin does not have any expression change, is only the slight nod, said lightly „the consideration of your highness is right.”
„We should think again, thinks we have any chip to be used to compromise.”
Spoke these words, Wales? Moren then dangling eyelid, no longer said a word.
The Francis II sound as if reverberates in this middle-aged Crown Prince mind
„King rule kingdom...... Then is the art of compromise......”
The conference ended.
Do the aristocrats leave the field according to the order, Wales? Moren also left the hall in the company of royal family aide officer, in the big military hall, only remaining two regent government Duke calmly sit on the spot.
After silent long time, Victoria does Duchess look to Beldwin? Franklin „you think that our Founding Hero do want to do?”
„I hope that he wants to bring back oneself family property, this also conforms to the logic, as well as conforms to the history book to the situation of its description,” Western Region Duke said at a moderate pace, „, but I do not rule out a worse possibility-- do not forget the name list on Ainz foundation laying stele, as well as in the royal library most ancient these confer the signature on copy clerk, from some angle, his declaration power to the throne is not inferior to our that ‚Your Highness Crown Prince’.”
„Wales? Moren......” Victoria said in a soft voice, she recalled only that speech of that Crown Prince in the conference, „he most looked like Francis II actually......”
Franklin Duke shakes the head slightly „, but is because has looked like, Francis II has finally chosen Edmund, our King have made a wrong decision in this aspect-- this country, does not need strong King.”
Victoria lifts the eyelid, deeply looked at this Western Region Duke one, afterward will stand up „I to return to north one time in the near future.”
Did Franklin raise eyebrow „you to transfer your mountainous region regiment?”
„Sacred Dragon Duchy is preparing to celebrate their ‚dragon near day’, Violet Kingdom also was very recently tranquil, I can reassign some mountainous region regiments to deal with the Holy Spirit Plain war,” whole body is lingering snow and ice aura Duchess was saying, while looks to Western Region Duke, „your Western Region army corps?”
„Was too far to the east frontline from Western Region, army's consumption on road makes people unable to withstand, moreover since this summer, the All Things Finally Die Society believer and death in believer western area does not have peacefully,” Beldwin? Franklin was saying, while the holding down forehead, „I could reassign Knight Corps to surround and protect King's city worriedly, but impossible to dispatch troops toward the east side.”
Several clear snowflakes appear in the air, Victoria Duchess has put on her white shawl, leaves the seat to move toward entrance „...... King's city need many Knight Corps, Cromwell Earl does not guard here sufficiently, if you have the unnecessary strength, pays attention south.”
Duchess left, how many icy cold snowflakes only leaves behind from the sky to dance in the air, Beldwin? Franklin puts out a hand to catch a piece, feels that icy coldly to melt in the palm gradually, he sighed slightly „...... Eternal truth these lunatics talked nonsense...... Darkest time......”
Four days later, Ainz Northern Region capital, Coldwinter Castle.
A Griffon knight squad has flown sky over the fortress, is Griffon of head lands in the castle top layer platform adeptly, Victoria? Wilde jumps down Griffon, the cold wind from north hills has blown her silver-white long hair, making her narrow the eye slightly.
Even if in this midsummer season, the summit of continent northern mountain still has such cold wind.
Sacred Dragon Duchy „dragon blood aristocrat” said that this cold wind is the aura that in the hills Great Dragon of deep sleep exhales, Violet Kingdom mage scholars thinks this cold air from continent north, from that piece by floating ice and storm blockade vast opposite, from that say/way ancient not loose cyclone.
But Victoria and does not care about this cold wind from where, she very much likes this type of ice-cold aura, in the hills these clean cold air, fills all sorts of unusual smells foul air to be much more comfortable than King's city that.
Black hair maidservant Maggie arrived in platform, Victoria maid that is deep to trust nods to this „calls my knight retainers, the mountainous region regiment had the matter to do.”
„Yes.”
Duchess has the absolute authority on this lands, gives loyalty to mountainous region regiment any question of Wilde Family had not accepted their „snow and ice queen” the order, after a short military conference, the mountainous region regiment approximately one-third armies was reassigned, includes to support east Holy Spirit Plain the frontline list.
After the conference ended, Victoria has not actually returned to own bedroom rest, although she has carried on the back to experience a long flight journey in Griffon, but also had just held a conference, but she spunks up, is glancing through the present document.
„Vicky, you need to rest.”
Black hair maid said after side--, when does not have other people, this black hair maid then called own mistress with the kind nickname.
„I will rest,” Victoria spoke thoughtlessly saying that „what unusual action Sacred Dragon Duchy recently did have?”
„Information that the northern gate house transmits all normal.”
Victoria shouted the tone slightly, in heart has stabilized slightly.
That Sacred Dragon Duchy in northern hills...... Since has been a destabilizing factor.
In the Gondor time, said that the human of dragon blood descendant has then established this state in continent extremely north, they declared that oneself are the Great Dragon dependency, therefore the imperator in country is not King, but is so-called „dragon blood Grand Duke”, they seal up, antiforeign, is narcissistic in the hills, moreover always does not like for 700 years ago suddenly presents the Ainz person on this lands.
700 years passed by fully, this seal mysterious state in using „unexpected visitor” described that has founded a nation of seven century Ainz.
But was good because of undergoing these many years wearing, between Sacred Dragon Duchy and Ainz reached the compromise and balanced eventually, as the northern total protection, Victoria? One of Wilde responsibility is the time was vigilant that that sensitive, close and antiforeign state, and avoids between both sides erupting into the war with every effort.
When processes the present document after finally, Victoria? Wilde stretched oneself, she deeply inspired, puts out again slowly, relaxes exhausted that within the body is accumulating little, the black hair maidservant walks up, is pinching the shoulder of mistress gently, while inquired in a low voice „can rest?”
„No, a matter,” Duchess closes the eye, stopped for a long time, continued saying that „prepared, I must go to Ancestral Tomb.”
