Vol. 2 Chapter 183

Rose and Romilie

Translated by Raizu

Inside the carriage heading for Nambonan City, I opened the window and looked outside.

Reisleaf Castle, which had been visible until just a moment ago, was now blocked by the mountains and could no longer be seen.

Slurp~ Slurp~

[Will grandfather be alright by himself?]

Although the possibility of the Spierzeig family attacking head-on is low, it is not zero.

It is deplorable that the Quordenze family has no choice but to overwork an old man who is over 80 years old.

Slurp~ Slurp~

[It’ll be fine if it’s the Grand Master.]

A maid sitting in a small space diagonally behind me answered my voice.

[I humbly state that the temporary ceasefire brought about by the joint retaliation pact would be more desirable for Spierzeig than for Quordenze. If the Quordenze side concentrates exclusively on defense in such a situation, the enemy side will be able to reorganize the army and seize control of their subordinate Noble families who were about to rebel.]

[I know that, but…]

As expected of a maid who came from a knight family, she is able to judge the battle situation well. I was going to have a little chat, but I was a little surprised when I got a serious answer.

Certainly, as the maid said, it was the Spierzeig family who would benefit more from the ceasefire.

Without the Royal Capital’s social gathering, the Quordenze army would have been constantly jabbing at them, giving them no chance to recover, and they would have taken a strategy to maintain their superiority at all times.

The basis of the joint retaliation pact is strictly defense. During this period, the Royal Nobles are not allowed to carry out new acts of aggression. Knowing that the Quordenze army will be withdrawn, it will be easier for the Spierzeig family to prepare for the next step.

Slurp~ Slurp~

[Right, and since grandfather is here, Reisleaf Castle will never fall….. He did tell me to stop worrying unnecessarily or leave it to him.]

When he took over the castle, my grandfather saw me off with a bright face.

For many years, he may have been so excited that he was able to sit down in Reisleaf Castle, which he had been trying to get rid of.

At that time, I was handed a large amount of souvenirs, but because of that, the inside of the carriage was a little narrow. Since the carriage for transporting food is a simple roof-less type, it was thrown in by a military officer who was worried that it would be stolen by the soldiers.

Those various gifts were supposed to be for my grandfather, such as the tributes from when he visited a nearby village for subjugation, and the congratulations on the fall of Reisleaf Castle from the Noble family with whom he had a close relationship. It was a selection of delicacies from the mountains and seas that were delicious to eat.

Slurp~ Slurp~

I took a quick look inside the bag before leaving, but the contents were mainly dry goods. It’s from a mountainous area after all. There were many mushrooms that looked like dried shiitake mushrooms, which must have been the tribute from nearby villages.

On the Eruo continent, where there is no fungal bed cultivation technology, the only way to collect mushrooms is from nature. Because of that, the civilian said that the popular delicious mushrooms are quite expensive. It would be uneasy to leave it exposed to the eyes of the common militia.

Slurp~ Slurp~

I stroked Rose’s head as she was tasting fresh mushrooms between my legs.

[Hey, Rose. What do you think? About my grandfather guarding Reisleaf Castle.]

[Jubo……damn, nn……juryuu……nbu…………]

Slurp~ Slurp~ Slurp~

Rose refused to answer my question and continued to give me a head instead.

It couldn’t be helped that I had a lot of free time during this journey. Because a good number of troops, including the Nambonan militias, will temporarily return to Nambonan City this time, the march was quite a mess.

I thought it would be nice if I could use physical strengthening magic to move at high speed, but unfortunately many of my Lord-class soldiers were left behind in Reisleif Castle. The number of Serf soldiers was too many this time.

As a result, the entire unit cannot be strengthened. So, we had no choice but to move forward with their natural mobility.

Despite having too much free time, I’d be limited in what I can do. That’s the reason why Rose was allowed to ride in the carriage.

It’s a matter of course, but there’s no option to leave Rose in Reisleaf Castle. This is because there is a possibility that she might escape back to Spierzeig territory. However, if anything, it seems most likely that Rose will be killed by military officers as a result of trying to escape halfway.

Beautiful women are precious and limited resources, and they must be protected as much as possible.

That’s why, even though Rose had come all the way to Reisleaf Castle, she had to go back to Nambonan City in less than two weeks.

[Fuu~… Ah, there it is, okay, it’s good…]

[Nn… Npuu… Nn, Nn…]

My sex life has been pretty rough lately.

In the morning, I would pour my first cum of the day into Rose. During the day, I’d fool around with the nearby maid. Then, in the evening, I’d embrace Rose again.

Even Rose, who used to be naive, continued to hone her skills through the many times we had sex every day. Since I often had her to give me fellatio every time, she was getting better at using her tongue.

It was very pleasant to see Rose’s tongue desperately searching for a pleasure spot to make me ejaculate quickly.

[Oooh… Haa… Good…]

And more than anything else, there was something about the situation where I was given a blowjob inside a vehicle like this that really touched me.

I wonder what it is. Perhaps because it felt like I was a big bad villain, and it makes the experience feel even better.

Sitting in the backseat of a black luxury car, an old man with considerable power in the underworld is issuing cruel orders to his subordinates on his mobile phone… When you imagine such a situation, most of the time the villain would be with a girl. Am I the only one who feels like the girl would be depicted giving the old man a blowjob?

The girl would usually be an idol belonging to an entertainment agency that sells flattery in search of a debut, a model on the market, or a debtor of one of the finance companies that the old man owned. She can also be a beautiful woman, a hostess who is addicted to drugs provided by an old man’s underling, etc. All kinds of situations where you can get an erection.

I think every man could appreciate the car sex scene that appears quite often in manga.

Inside the luxury carriage of the Quordenze family, a female knight who serves the hostile Spierzeig family, is giving me a head… Hmmm, wonderful. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is art.

That’s why I’m asking Rose to do her best mainly with fellatio this time.

[…Whew, whew……..still, huh? ………..Mmm, chu…..hurry up, chu, mu…..get it out…..]

With my mind occupied with another thing, the fire will also cool down and I could hold off my ejaculation. Meanwhile Rose seemed to be getting tired and irritated.

Her tongue play became rougher, and she started caressing my weak points intensively.

It’s interesting that, despite complaining, she understands where and how I should be stimulated.

[What? Do you want it so much? Rose is a woman who wants something.]

I teased her a little, but Rose frowned and continued to move her head and tongue.

I observed her as she devoured my cock with all her might.

The dress that she’s wearing today is more like underwear than everyday wear. The maid must have prepared it, and even if she escapes, it should be easy to find because she’s dressed like a slut.

Her slender legs that look like they belong to a model are beautiful enough to make me want to run my tongue all over them.

Her shiny silver blonde hair was tied at the back of her head like a ponytail. Last night I grabbed and pulled this ponytail as I penetrated her from behind in doggy style. It was very exciting.

As I rewound last night’s play in my head, I finally felt the climax is coming.

[Ugh…! Rose, let’s go. Turn your butt.]

[Kuh……!]

After uttering small words of anguish, Rose turned around and turned her back to me.

On the verge of ejaculating, I quickly flipped up her dress and pushed my cock into her vagina.

[…t… Rose…! Phew…! Ugh…ah… Whew! ]

[Uuuu, guu…..!]

Byuku, byuku, byuku, semen was ejected toward the back of Rose’s vagina.

The first shot of the day, the freshly made sperms were delivered directly from the production area and absorbed by her body.

I planted the seeds with pleasure, and Rose glared at the floor in a crawling pose.

It’s a mating that has been repeated many times.

For my own enjoyment and to make Rose submit, I imposed my own rule of ejaculating inside her vagina even when she’s giving me a blowjob or a handjob.

I don’t want Rose to be annoyed when the insertion is only for the last ejaculation like this time. The sight of her silently enduring without being able to refuse me was something that touched my heart.

[Do you understand? I’m planting my seed in Rose now.]

[…I understand, what is it…!]

Since I had sex every day, I didn’t have a lot of accumulated semen.

All the semen produced during the night was released into Rose.

[Phew…that’s good. If it’s like this, it looks like she’ll give birth to my child soon.]

I pulled Rose to the seat, then hugged and kissed her.

Having chosen to become my mistress, she never refused my advances. However, her heart still continues to show an attitude of never giving up.

Well, as a first step, I’m already satisfied with her agreeing to have sex with me.

[If it’s Rose’s child, I’m sure it will be a cute child. I’m looking forward to it. Chu.]

[Nn… Mm.]

Rose, despite accepting my kisses without resistance, was somewhat unresponsive and had a devious look in her eyes.

Just being able to enjoy her body is enough, but if possible, I would like her to be a little more motivated.

[Hey, show me the letter.]

Therefore, I decided to use an item that would probably win her heart.

Since we had a secret meeting before leaving, the maid moved quickly and prepared it after hearing my instructions.

[Here it is.]

[Thanks.]

After receiving the letter from the maid, I flicked it around and appealed to Rose.

[I don’t think there is anything wrong with this.]

Saying that, I brought the letter closer so that she could see it.

At first, Rose was staring blankly at the letter rather than reading it, but the next moment, her eyes widened.

[Th-this is…Master’s letters!?]

Since she’s a Knight, she seems to be able to easily recognize her master’s handwriting.

This letter was an excerpt from the handwritten letter received from Duke Spierzeig, which the military officers have asked to show to Rose.

When I tried to hand the letter to Rose, she stiffened her body and took it.

She must be worried about crumpling the letter in a hurry, so she puts too much strain on her shoulders, making her look like an office worker with shoulder pads working during the economic bubble.

After reading the letter that I gave her, she looked at me as if she could not believe it. No, seeing it wouldn’t be enough, she was staring at me.

[What’s wrong?]

[Ah…………]

As if she didn’t know what to say, she kept her expression stiff and moved her mouth like a goldfish.

[Don’t tell me that sucking my cock once isn’t enough?]

[No!]

With an angry face, Rose pointed the letter at me.

[It’s a letter from Duke Spierzeig.]

[I can understand that just by looking at it! But… What is this? Wh, why is the Young Master’s body…?]

What I showed her was an excerpt from the letter “Thank you for returning the body” from Duke Spierzeig.

Returning the corpse of the next family Head of the enemy seems to be quite out of common sense. She should have been happy honestly, but Rose was looking at me as if she’s looking at a monster.

[I got a beautiful mistress from Spierzeig. It’s just my way of thanking them.]

[Mistress? ……How stupid!? For a small person like me!? This is unbelievable!]

The letter that I gave to Rose didn’t say anything about why I wanted to return the body, or how I would only return the body if they paid me with a lot of money.

Since those parts were omitted, it would appear as if I returned the body free of charge.

[I can’t believe it…that letter? I see, you’ve already fallen in love with me more than your former Master…]

[No! That’s not what I mean! This is unmistakably a letter written by Master! But, is it possible for something like this to happen!?]

It was quite fun teasing a rigid girl like this.

It’s a man’s nature to want to mess with a girl he’s interested in.

[There is another one. ……Hey.]

[Here it is.]

With my signal, the maid handed out another letter. This is from Princess Romilie, the eldest daughter of the Spierzeig family.

To be honest, there isn’t much written on this, so I handed over the envelope.

It seemed that Rose recognized the sender just by looking at the envelope.

[That’s the envelope Princess uses…!]

Romilie is the only legitimate Princess remaining in the Spierzeig family. It was clear that the [Princess] that Rose was referring to was Romilie.

[Can you tell just by looking at it?]

With a loving and gentle hand, Rose opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

She took a deep breath and slowly began to read the letter. It seemed that her heart had calmed down, and the more she read, the more the tension was relieved from her shoulders.

After reading the letter to the end, Rose politely returned it to the envelope and took a simple gesture of thanks. She must have shown her gratitude to Romilie, who was not here.

Then, as they silently moved inside the carriage, they fell to one knee in front of me.

[…As one of the Knights of Spierzeig, I am deeply…deeply grateful for the return of the Young Master’s body to the land of Voistra.]

When someone mentions the body of the Young Master, it sounds like I’m dead, so I felt a bit troubled by that.

But more than that, I was fascinated by Rose’s fixed knight pose.

It’s stylish and looks great. It was also very sexy because she was dressed in what is basically an underwear.

[Oho.]

I put my hand on her trembling shoulder and made her sit back down.

Since the likability is low to begin with, returning the corpse will only change it from -100 to -50. However, when such vigilance is relaxed, it is a chance to attack. I want to have a chat and shorten the distance even a little.

I want to enjoy lovey-dovey sex with Rose if possible.

I looked at Rose while thinking about what topic to talk about. Then, she looked down again at the letter from Romilie.

Her expression seems to be somewhat relaxed.

[What’s wrong, are you acquainted with Princess Romilie?]

[Acquainted couldn’t even start to depict it.]

I just silently wait for her to continue.

[…I’ve been taking care of the Princess since I was little, that’s all.]

To my surprise, she joined the conversation. She seemed to be a little less vigilant.

No, from reading the letter, she may have guessed that Duke Spierzeig was plotting a marriage truce, and she might just be trying to release information about Romilie. If you’re a Knight who serves the Spierzeig family, it’s quite possible that you’ve heard such stories before.

Well, if we got to talk about something, then let’s continue. The basis of getting close is from talking after all.

[Were you also a servant of Othelloria Castle?]

[That’s right. However, Princess and I are only two years apart. When I was young, I was more like a playmate than a servant. She would call me sister even when there was nobody else around. She is a very kind Princess.]

At that point, the pleasant tone changed and became low and dark.

[…..The siblings are also very close. Just thinking about how painful it must have been for her to have one of them die, I…]

Perhaps out of regret, Rose clenched her fists so hard that the bones might pierce through her skin.

[If the return of the corpse has healed her heart even just a little, that’s fine. Ah… Princess…]

It seems that all the things that had been accumulating since she was arrested suddenly overflowed, and while she was looking down, she brought her fist that had been pressed against her thigh to her chest and began to shed large drops of tears.

Regret for not being able to protect Verret Spierzeig, anger at herself for being the comforter of the enemy without being able to die in the battle, and a faint sense of relief. Her heart seemed to be stirred by various emotions welling up.

If I carelessly hugged her here, I might get caught up in an outburst of emotions, so I decided to wait and see.

I had been in contact with her for the past two weeks, and felt something. That she’s not entirely a Knight-like character.

For some reason, I get the feeling that Rose is by nature a person who puts her family and friends first, and has a deeply compassionate disposition.

Starting with her father and older brother, she also wanted to protect the things that were protected by those who were important to her… Because of this strong feeling, she was so stubborn and desperate to wear the mask of Knight Silknoon. A little too desperate maybe.

Judging from her feelings for Romilie and her behavior up until now, there is no doubt that Rose is the type of person with strong affection.

I wonder what would happen if she got pregnant. Would she have the heart to abandon her child?

I think it’s 50/50.

If she finds out that she is pregnant, she may try to resist desperately, but if she manages to give birth to a child, she might develop feelings for her child.

If I want to make her heart mine, I should be able to get around well at that time. Now all I have to do is pour the seeds.

It took a while for Rose’s excitement to subside.

Seemingly ashamed of letting out her heart, she kept her face facing the floor.

After confirming that her shoulders were not trembling anymore, I spoke out.

[Princess Romilie, huh?]

I tried to continue the conversation while implying that I didn’t mind the sobbing just now.

[From the letter, I got the impression that she is a smart woman. But, what kind of person is she actually?]

If we were talking about Romilie, it would be easier for Rose to talk too.

Giving a good impression about the Princess of Spierzeig here is equal to a chance to help Duke Spierzeig, who is planning a marriage truce. If she still considers herself in the position of Knight Silknoon, it would be a dereliction of duty not to engage in stealth marketing.

[…Princess has always been good at writing, and she especially liked reading. I think it’s only natural to feel the depth of education.]

She sounded proud.

I couldn’t sense any intention to impress the eldest son of the Quordenze family. She was simply insisting that, [Our Princess is amazing].

[So, she likes to read. What kind of book does she like to read? I will use it as a reference when I write a reply to her letter.]

I have already sent a reply, but that is not something that Rose knows about.

She raised her eyebrows as if ruminating on my words. I guess she’s carefully scrutinizing whether it’s good information to present to me.

[I’ve heard before that books written in the old days are more to her liking than recent ones. She said that she often reads the ancient documents in the archives of Othelloria Castle.]

[Ancient documents of the Spierzeig family? ……As I thought, she has a deep knowledge of ancient languages, huh?]

My words put Rose in a good mood.

[Of course. Princess Romillie is the one who will connect the lineage of Spierzeig. Naturally, she must understand our history and ancient language.]

[…Zeth’s bloodline?]

[Fuh, You don’t know?]

The Spierzeig family is a priestly noble, and its origins lie in the Priest Spierzeig, who was a high-ranking priest in the Holy City of Maguaose about 350 years ago.

By the way, Priest Spierzeig is a common name. Spierzeig was neither a family name nor a real name, but something like the name someone received at baptism in the previous world. Basically a name that a priest takes during his duty.

Priest Spierzeig once rose to the position of Supreme Priest of the Zeth High Priest, but was ousted after a factional dispute and to be sent to a rural area.

Monitoring, supervising, and guiding local Nobles as a priest of the Zeth Holy High Society…is expedient. I feel like they were somewhat like bureaucrats who lost the race to get ahead and had to join an independent administrative agency.

At that time, the Holy City of Saint Navempos was the center of the continent’s culture, and the provinces had no charm. No one was willing to go there.

Wherever you go, it will be unbearable for those who have lived in the Holy City.

Luckily for Priest Spierzeig, it just so happened that at that time, an incident had just happened in which the Noble family that ruled the major city of Othelloria rebelled against the Holy High Society and was subjugated.

If we were to define the term “major city,” it would be something like [A city that has been recognized by the Church of Zeth Holy High Society as an important base with particularly remarkable development and influence within that region or region]. Even the Holy High Society cannot afford to leave the government of major cities blank. On the other hand, it is a shame to give it to the local Nobles around Otheloria, since above all, they cannot be trusted. They were just looking for any priests in the Holy City who would be willing to become a Noble.

Priest Spierzeig understood the situation well and chose to become a Noble in exchange for control over the major city of Othelloria.

He must have thought that it would be better to become a Noble in a major city than to be sent to a barbaric remote area where he didn’t know where he was.

However, considering the values of the time, this was a rather shocking and outrageous decision.

If he were to be sent to a province as a high-ranking priest of the Holy High Society, he would remain a priest in the Holy City, so he could throw away his pride and everything else and flee back to the Holy City. If his luck overlaps, he might even be able to make a comeback in the Holy City. However, if he were to become a noble, he would naturally lose his status as a priest in the Holy City.

In an era when priests were at the top, how lonely would that be? However, Priest Spierzeig decided to throw everything away and start over as a Noble, rather than betting on the luck of the level.

In the first place, the Noble transformation from priest is largely an escape route for high-ranking priests who failed to gain a success, as well as the fate of children who were born into a prestigious family but were judged to be hopelessly incompetent and unable to advance as priests. It is not an option that the High Priest would choose.

In that sense, Priest Spierzeig was a stubborn and daring man.

They wanted to entrust the rule of the major city of Othelloria to a priest-turned-Noble, or if possible to a competent person, to turn the political enemy, Priest Spierzeig, into a Noble and completely crush the buds of restoration. Surely, Priest Spierzeig was approved for nobility without any particular delay, and left the Holy City with his wife and children, low-ranking priests under his command, and his subordinates.

This is the beginning of the Spierzeig family, a Noble family based in the major city of Othelloria.

The reason why he used his priestly name for his family name is probably to show that he has no intention of being hostile to the Holy High Society. After all, he must have wanted to claim that he was originally a priest and a nobleman who was loyal to the Holy High Society.

Due to the fact that their docile attitude was highly regarded in the Holy City, and partly because of the Holy High Society’s policy of throwing a diversionary ball at the indigenous Nobles that dot the Voistra Plain, the Spierzeig family is holy in many respects. It is said that he succeeded in obtaining the support of the Holy High Society and was able to establish its ruling system at an early stage.

After that, the Supreme Priest was able to be discharged again from the family of the Spierzeig priest who remained in the Holy City, and the Spierzeig family was treated as a representative of the Noble group based in the Voistra Plain.

The family of Priest Spierzeig is one of the prominent families in the Holy City, whose ancestors are the biological children of Zeth, the founder of Zethism. The Holy High Society probably thought that they could trust the Spierzeig family more than any local Noble who doesn’t know the bones of any horse. Well, they were wrong.

In any case, the ancestor of the Spierzeig family is the Priest Spierzeig, and if you trace it back even further, you will reach Zeth himself.

According to the scriptures of Zethism, Zeth was very proficient in both Eruo and ancient languages.

The land now called Saint Navempos was once ruled by a people called the Manipulators.

Zeth comes from one of the many tribes that came under the control of the Manipulators. According to legend, Zeth was educated by the Manipulators, and it was during this time that he learned a language other than his mother tongue.

Zeth, who traveled across the continent to deepen his knowledge and gain strength, returned to his hometown and ordered his own tribe to raise an armed uprising and declare war on the Manipulators. And in the end, he destroyed that civilization and created the Zeth Holy High Society, a system of government that fused new politics and religion with the native tribe at the top.

However, there was one problem. Zeth’s native tribe had an extremely low cultural level.

When reading Zeth’s memoirs, which is one of the scriptures, there are laughably many descriptions such as [My tribe is too barbaric, which is a problem]. In his autobiography, which was written in his later years, there is a description filled with regret, saying, [Destroying the Manipulators was the biggest mistake of my life].

At first, Zeth was aiming to start a new organization from scratch, like an organization called the High School of Zethism. However, his compatriots were too incompetent to do anything about it. But, he was still able to get it up and running.

Although it was good that Zeth destroyed the Manipulators, he soon came to regret it and missed the people he had destroyed. Then, as if regretting his failure, he collected the books left behind by the Manipulators and taught his subordinates to study them.

Today, it is called the ancient language, the mother tongue of the people once known as the Manipulators. It is the language of the Old Ones.

A book written in an ancient language is noble and should be learned… This concept spread largely because of Zethism. It can’t be helped because the scriptures are written over and over with things like [Barbaric act is no good! Let’s all be polite and wise like the Manipulators!].

In this way, after many years, the ancient language became an essential education for priests, and I think that the recognition that [Ancient language = education of the upper class] was planted among the nobility through the era of priests.

It can be said that the Spierzeig family inherited Zeth’s bloodline, so it is only natural that they should be educated in the ancient language. They won’t be able to face their ancestors if they ignore that area.

[It’s only natural for a Spierzeig Princess then.]

[Exactly. Princess is fulfilling her duties splendidly.]

I wonder what it is, I guess Rose really likes Romilie. I can partially understand why she wants to say that our Princess is the most wonderful.

Her mood quickly improved as I gave her an appropriate back-and-forth.

[Intelligent women are good things. If she is also beautiful, there’s nothing more to say…]

[She IS beautiful.]

Rose interrupted my lines with zeal. Her face is serious.

[Is it true? I don’t think a Knight would speak ill of the Princess of their Master’s house. Isn’t it just flattery?]

[Hmph, believe what you may. Our Princess is truly beautiful.]

I feel sorry for Rose, who has an expression like she has done something regrettable. But I don’t know what’s wrong with her. Is there something wrong with there being so many beautiful women in the world? No, there isn’t.

[The young military officers who visited Othelloria Castle were desperate to catch a glimpse of the Princess. …..Come to think of it, my older brothers used to be like that too. They used to ask me, who was taking care of the princess, to invite them into her courtyard just to see her at least…]

In addition, her older brothers all died in the war with the Quordenze family. Rose lowered her voice a little and looked down just once, but she immediately returned her gaze to me and continued her words.

[It’s really disappointing that I can’t convey the beauty of the Princess because of my poor vocabulary…]

[No, you got it across enough.]

No matter how many words Rose says, I will never trust her. The reason is simple, because I think that women’s evaluation of another woman’s beauty tends to be unreliable.

However, according to Rose, Princess Romilie is so beautiful that male military officers want to see her.

A man’s evaluation of a woman’s beauty can be relied upon. Because I’m a man.

In particular, it is a really good indicator that the older brothers are trying to look at their faces even using their younger sister Rose, who is serving them.

If Romilie was a hysterical Princess, she would be punished immediately for moving around too much, and there was no way the military officers could carelessly treat her like an idol.

I think that Princess Romilie is probably really beautiful, and also has a gentle heart that can smile and forgive even the slightest jokes of those below her. Looking at Rose’s endearment, it’s easy to see that she has a mild personality.

I’ve heard that our Fanny is also secretly considered by the young military officers and civilians who visit Newnelly Castle as a cute and rare character that you can meet if you’re lucky.

As I thought, if the position is higher, the appearance is beautiful, and the personality is good, there will be a part of them that will be seen as an idol. This may already be the habit of being a man… No, it’s the same for women, isn’t it? If there is a good-looking and gentle male nobleman, he will surely become an idol. Rumors will be buzzing in the servants’ waiting room.

For that reason, rather than trusting Rose, I decided to trust the men in her story.

As my first impression was good, I feel that my evaluation of Romilie is steadily rising.

[…? I don’t know what are you thinking, but it’s great to have you believe me. I want you to treat the letter from the Princess with care.]

A letter from a beautiful woman shouldn’t be treated carelessly, I strongly nodded at Rose’s words.

After hearing from Rose about Princess Romilie’s appearance for a while, I went out of the carriage.

Because I wanted to take a pee.

The escort who was running alongside the carriage soon approached me and brought me a horse.

[I want to move a little.]

[Understood.]

I don’t want to suddenly stand up, so I show my face to the troops marching.

[Young Master.]

[General!]

[Oh, oh, oh, oh, the Noble have come!]

[Captaaaaaaiiiin!]

It seems that not only the Nambonan soldiers, but also the common militia have a favorable impression of me. Well, there’s no way the supreme commander of the winning battle would be hated.

When I moved my hand lightly as if to thank them, they let out a roar.

While receiving a welcome voice, I approached the military officer entrusted with general command of the Nambonan Returning Corps and called out to them.

[How’s it going?]

[Yes! It’s exactly as planned. Thieves have appeared several times, but there is no particular impact.]

[As usual, there are troublesome people…]

[That’s what centipede legs are like, so there’s nothing we can do about it. Besides, I thought it would be troublesome for them to go out of their way to be run over by the military.]

This area is still close to Reisleaf Castle, and it has not been long since the rule of the Quordenze family.

For this reason, the remnants of the Knight family that once served the former Ruler of this land are active as guerrillas.

After all, the guerrillas have a familiarity with the area, and the residents of the village with whom they have a deep relationship are hiding behind them, making them hard to deal with.

The Quordenze army also organizes subjugation squads to patrol in their spare time, sometimes burning down entire villages, doing something like the Demon King’s army. But it’s not a problem that can be solved so easily.

As this military officer said, the suicidal volunteers who went out of their way to attack the military were rather a blessing.

[Certainly, we have no choice but to spend time crushing them, but their attempts are extremely pointless. The main family that they supported has already perished, so they should’ve cut their belly on their own initiative. But, they decide to become pebbles along the road instead…]

[Belly…?]

A military officer who had no concept of seppuku was puzzled, but I decided to keep the conversation going.

[Considering that I will be fighting against the Spierzeig family in the future, I feel really troubled about that.]

[Well, unlike the small-scale Noble families that ruled this area, the Spierzeig family owns a large number of Knights. Inevitably, the number of legs will also increase.]

However, the military officer added.

[It should be okay if we don’t completely destroy it. In the first place, the legs of a centipede act violently because their heads are crushed. We can’t break the truce that the Master has signed, so even if the Knights lose their land, they can’t go on a rampage. We just need to infiltrate our control before the next war starts.]

[Something like that?]

[Yessir. To kill a giant centipede, first is to crush its legs.]

As the military officer naturally wishes for a war to exterminate the Spierzeig family, I feel deeply that this is a merciless era.

Then, the military officer smiled a little and continued.

[But, I’m worried about one thing.]

[One thing?]

[Young Master broke through Voistra’s Great Shield in a short amount of time. The next time you know, you might’ve crushed Spierzeig’s head already.]

[No, no, I don’t think so.]

I understand that he’s joking, the military officer let out a loud laugh.

Of course, I had no intention of doing such a stupid thing.

[If you crush only the head, the remaining legs will be persistently entwined with Young Master. Please be careful.]

While chatting with the commanders of each unit, I headed back to Nambonan City.
