"Now that's a good one, Kyle. In other words, Carlos wants to remove economic obstacles with the economic zone centered on the royal territory in order to maintain and develop the Fontana territory and, if possible, make lucrative deals with them. Hopefully, this could be accomplished by simply protecting the king and treating him well. But in reality, that did not happen."

"That's right. The Memento family did not want to develop through indirect connections with the royal domain like Carlos did, but rather they wanted to suppress the king and put the economic sphere of the royal domain itself in their own pocket. Even if it meant outflanking the other three noble alliances that had deposed the hegemonic aristocracy, the House of Rizzolte."

"In other words, the strategic goal of Carlos-sama is not to defeat the Memento family, but to secure the territory of the Fontana and the King's territory while linking them economically. To be frank, he has no desire to fight with the Mementos. The meaning of this battle is to buy time for a meeting to reestablish the relationship between the three noble houses and the royal family, which is necessary to achieve this strategic goal.

"Don't ask me. I don't know, I don't know. The conflict with the Memento family could threaten the transportation network between the Royal City area and Fontana. The merchants must be able to travel safely between Fontana and King's Landing without interference from the Memento family. Therefore, it is preferable for two of the three noble alliances to join hands with the royal family, other than the Memento family, and if we can connect with them, even if it is through mutual interests, the problem will be settled for now."
