Hey, you idiot.

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

"...... what?"

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

I'm talking about you, you big idiot. I'll call you that from now on.

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

"I'm sorry, Mr. Carlos. I'm sorry, Mr. Carlos. I'm sorry.

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

"You should be thanking me for being so generous as to forgive you for this, you idiot. You've reduced the number of knights in our Fontana territory.

But it is good that there are no more rebels against Carlos, the head of the family."

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

"...... but the most dangerous one is right in front of me. I'm thinking of killing him while I still can, what do you think?"

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

"Oh, no, Carlos, don't bother. Just tell me and I'll tell him to behave himself.

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

"I really wish you'd be quiet. Well, okay. Let's talk about the future.

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

"Ha."

"The lands you have taken from the Garnes and other knightly families, you will return them to us. You were not lying when you said you did not fight for these lands, were you?

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

"Of course, Master Carlos."

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

"Good. Then I will establish a new knightly house to rule over this returned territory. Leon, step forward.

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

"Yes, sir."

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

"Leon. You are my knight and I will establish a new house of knighthood. From now on you will take the name Leon von Graham and rule the new Graham lands.

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

"Ha! I, Leon von Graham, do solemnly swear to be faithful to Carlos de Fontana and to administer properly the knightly estate which he has given me."

"Best regards. There's a crazy idiot next to your estate, but you'd better be careful.

I understand. I will tell my sister to calm down as well, since it seems that she is married to him through my sister.

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

"Hey, you hear me, you big idiot? From now on, your domain adjoins that of the Grahams... and you will cause no trouble. Is that clear?"

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

"Of course, Mr. Carlos. Ars von Valka, I swear to you that I will never fight with my kinsman, Leon."

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

"Now let's hope it turns out to be true. And I need you to do one more thing. Do you know what it is?

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

"...... No, I don't know. What is it?"

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

"I have prepared a plot of land in the city of Fontana, where my castle is located. Build Barca's mansion there. And let your brother live there.

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

"...... brother Kyle has made magic and built a lead house, but he is still a child who does not know how to understand things. He will never be able to manage the house. No, I don't think so. I will allow my brother Hector to take up residence in the house. Hector holds the same position as my other brother, Bite, who is also an important man for our Barca.

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

"...... good. Your brother Hector is to be transferred immediately to his new position as master of this newly created house. Tell him to visit me in my castle. You'll have some work to do.

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

　Sorry, brother Hector.

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

　It seems Carlos wants some sort of hostage situation with me.

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

　But I can't have Kyle leaving me for that reason.

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

　Maybe I won't be able to work in the fields anymore, but I'll let brother Hector go to Fontana.

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

　I'll have to check with Eira to see what she plans to do.

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

　If we are going to move to Fontana together, we also have to find a replacement for Eira.

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

　Is there anyone good?

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

　There are many other things to consider.

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

　In some unexplained way, Leon has succeeded in rebuilding the Graham family on his own.

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

　It is true that a good number of knights died in the upheaval, and a political vacuum has been created in the land.

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

　The lands I took and the lands where I crushed the rebellious forces against Carlos became the new territory of the Fontana family.

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

　The Fontana territory was thus completely transformed into a land where the power of Carlos, the head of the family, was strong, unlike in the past when it was under the strong influence of Raymond.

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

　However, there is a problem.

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

　As it stands now, I am in the mainstream of Carlos' faction.

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

　I am the one who defeated Raymond, who fought against the old Raymond faction, and who claims to have brought some of the old Raymond faction into the faction.

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

　To put it bluntly, I have reached a point where I can make a pretty big face in the Fontana territory now.

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

　But I guess Carlos is not happy about it either.

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

　He would not like the idea that someone like me, who has no political judgment at all, has power.

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

　So he used Rion.

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

　The territories of Carlos and Rion, who are related by blood, kept a tight lid on the territory of the knights of Barca.

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

　To prevent them from getting out of control.

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

　Rion himself is also a talented man, and with the return of the Grahams, he may have decided that it would be better to give him the territory and make him a new pawn in Carlos's plot.

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

　Thus, Rion was quickly restored as the head of the knight's domain with more villages than mine.

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

　However, Rion's independence as House Graham means that the people who have been helping me with the work of my domain will be gone just as they were.

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

　I may need to bring up a few more people who can do the work of the estate.

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

　And I will have to prepare a good number of people to go to Fontana to work for Brother Hector.

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

　This is where the lack of human resources comes into play.

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

　That's when I was thinking about all this.

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

"Excuse me. Mr. Carlos, I have something to tell you.

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

What's wrong? What's wrong?

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

"Yes. A report came in just now. It seems the enemy is moving to attack us.

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

"Enemy?　Were there still rebels left somewhere?"

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

No, it is not so. Other nobles have begun to move in on the Fontana territory.

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

I knew you wouldn't let a situation like this go unnoticed, would you? It is the House of Uruk that is moving, is it not?

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

"Yes. But it is not only the House of Uruk. It seems that the House of Arbalest in the west, in coordination with the House of Uruk, has also begun marching into Fontana territory.

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

"What the hell?　Are you saying that Arbalest attacked with Uruk?　Then Fontana would be caught between a pincer attack."

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

Yes, that's right.

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

"...... Hey, big fool. You know that you caused this, right?　Naturally, you need to take responsibility for this."

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

"...... Responsibility?"

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

Yes. I will now head east to meet the Uruks. You go west. And stop the invasion of House Arbalest.

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

"The Arbalests. A noble family that uses lightning magic. Yes, sir. The army of Barca will now move west.

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

　It seems that the time for civil servants has come.

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

　The other nobles saw the chaos in the Fontana territory and moved quickly.

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

　They attacked from the east and west as if to pincer the territory.

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

　One of them, the Arbalests, attacked from the west.

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

　I was forced to move my forces together again to hold off the attack of the Arbalests.
