"I've done it. How did this happen? ......"

"What are you talking about, general? What are you talking about, general?

"I know that, Vargas. But I really don't know what to do. Will we ever get this thing under control?"

　I built a dam in the territory of the knights of Barca.

　My agricultural magic could cause the land to run out of water, so I built a dam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was claimed.

　The House of Garneth, which governs the territory of the Knights of Garneth, located downstream from the river, complained.

　It is true that water supply problems are often the cause of disputes between fiefdoms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think I didn't take this into consideration enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the Garneses did not pay enough attention to it either.

　They sent a young knight Ruffin, of all people, as an emissary to participate in a meeting to discuss inter-jurisdictional issues.

　Ruffin was apparently also a rival to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had participated in the last battle for Aynrad's Hill and had seen me in action.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe he was frustrated that his performance in that battle was inferior to mine, who was younger than he was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or perhaps he was proud that he came from a family of knights who had been in charge of their lands for generations, unlike me, a peasant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps that is why he was somewhat overbearing from the very beginning of the meeting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, even so, I think I was relatively patient and calm in my response.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that may not have been a good thing, now that I think about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although he was not as good as me in the war, he thought he was in a better position at the meeting and said something he shouldn't have said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is, he said that he would make Lilina his own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could not let this statement go in a low profile as I had done before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the same in terms of my feelings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is impossible for a man to marry a beautiful woman like Lilina and then have another man take her from the side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that is not the point of this statement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My position was that I could not allow that statement to be made.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I did not enter into a simple love marriage with Lilina.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carlos, the head of Fontana, gave his daughter Lilina, a former daughter of the Graham family, in marriage to a former daughter of the Graham family, who is related to me by blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I laughingly forgive the person who asks me to give Lilina to him, it will be regarded as the same as betraying Carlos' expectations of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It could be said that I am neglecting my relationship with Carlos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it would not reflect well on the ex-Grahams.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they think that I do not care about protecting Lilina, I will not be able to help them manage the territory as I have done so far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, it could have a negative impact on the people who live in the territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how many times I have served on the battlefield and have been entrusted with a fief based on my successes, I am still a child.

　Even if I build a fine castle, it will be difficult for them to accept me as their lord with all their hearts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilina is the solution to this problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is only because I am married to Lilina, a noblewoman who is different from the common people, that she allows me to rule her lands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I were to break off relations with Lilina, it would mean that I would lose the spiritual roots that hold the territory together.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I had to take a strict approach to Raffin's statement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I regret that I went too far in the meeting when I put Raffin out of business with the nine-tailed sword right after he made that comment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If he had been half killed at least, he might have been taken to Bishop Paul and his life might have been spared. .......

"No, that's not the only problem, General. You were radical enough after that, weren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because ......, I didn't know what to do if I took down a knight who came as a messenger."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, what's the point of destroying evidence?　Not only the Garnes family, but other knight families are involved."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It can't be helped. They're on the side of the Garnes family."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was in a hurry when I lost Raffin right after he said the problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I decided to at least try to arm myself with a theory of what I was doing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I sent a message to Carlos to ask for his permission to solve the problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once I received the permission, I led the army I had prepared to the territory of the Knights of Garnes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He invaded the territory, making up a story that he had chased Raffin, who was still alive, when he ran away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was going to leave, pretending that he had killed Ruffin at the right place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I advanced my army into the territory of the Knights of Garnes, but I had no idea what to do with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I did not know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had no idea that the stronghold of the knights in charge of the territory could be so easily conquered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had become numb to the fact that not all of the knightly families with fiefdoms have fortified cities and large castles in their fiefdoms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The same was the case with the Garnes family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They did not have a large town, but several villages and a house in the center of each village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They ruled their lands from these palaces, which were their strongholds in case of emergencies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the cavalry led by Barka quickly took down the fortresses with only a few guarded buildings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By the time I realized it, the house of Garnes had been taken over by Barca's army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And when the knights around me saw what I was doing, they too moved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They mistakenly believed that Barka had finally shown his true colors and attacked them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Barka did not even have a proper window to negotiate with the army of the knightly families neighboring the territory of Garnes, which was on its way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, although they had no choice, they decided to respond with force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we hesitate, we will be the ones to suffer the pain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, Barka's army quickly defeated the Garnes and three other knight families, and took 18 villages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How did this happen?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's all Ruffin's fault.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not my fault!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My cries for help were not echoed in anyone's mind, and the situation continued to progress.
