"Listen, Leon. Make sure that buffoon doesn't come in contact with anyone from the royal family. He must never get close to anyone, including the king, his entourage, or his men."

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

"...... By this buffoon, do you mean Mr. Ars, Carlos?"

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

"Of course. Do you think there is a bigger fool than Ars in the whole world?"

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

"Ars-sama sometimes does things we can't imagine, but I don't think he's unthinking. ......"

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

"Yes, it is. He's not unthinking. But he's an idiot. Don't you see why, Leon?"

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

"......I'm sorry, Mr. Ars, but I think I understand what you mean, Mr. Carlos."

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

"Of course. He's an idiot. That doesn't mean he's stupid. It's a lack of common sense. Common sense that everyone has in their lives.

"Yes. I have known Mr. Ars through my sister, and I know his character to some extent. I think I know his personality to some extent, but what I feel is that he is different from others. I think that in ...... Ars-sama, there is a perception that perhaps all people are of equal value."

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

"Equal. He sometimes talks nonsense about equality, but I guess it's the same thing. To him, all people are basically of equal value. That means he denies the existence of nobility altogether.

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

"Indeed. Perhaps Master Ars would not obey unconditionally just because the other party is a noble or royalty. Well, he is not a thoughtless person, so he will take into account their status to some extent in his actions and words, but that's all.

"Oh. Normally, he has no sense that he shouldn't defy the nobility, which has been engraved in his bones from the time he was born. That's why he negotiated a truce with me so normally after defeating Raymond, and he seemed to think that he was just doing what he normally does when he defeats the lords of Arbalest and Uruk.

"So, Carlos-sama, you are worried that the royal family who are currently staying in Fontana might meet with Ars-sama and cause some problems?"

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

"Well, yes. Even I can't predict what that idiot will do. Then the best way to avoid problems is to avoid meeting such a dangerous person.

"Okay, I understand. We will make sure that the royal families do not contact Mr. Ars. You can count on us, Carlos.

　Suddenly, I remembered what I had discussed with Mr. Carlos before.

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

　From Mr. Carlos' point of view, Mr. Ars is an anomaly.

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

　It was that Mr. Ars did not have the heart of respect for the noble that everyone has.

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

　Master Arus seems to recognize that the value of a person or a life is equal.

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

　However, I feel that they are not completely equal.

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

　Perhaps, in his mind, his own life is more valuable than anything else.

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

　Not only the royal family, but even Carlos, to whom he has sworn his allegiance, I sometimes wonder.

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

　He also seems to place a high priority on his younger brothers Kyle and Valkyrie.

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

　But on the contrary, they are of equal value except to himself, Kyle, and Valkyrie.

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

　Even so, he is able to deal with other knights to some extent without being rude to them.

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

　Perhaps this is based on the position of the other knight.

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

　He never respects others because of their birthright.

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

　Such was the case with Mr. Ars.

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

　And Carlos's fears came true.

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

　The messenger who came with the royal decree demanded Valkyrie more than ever from Mr. Ars.

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

　At that moment, the air in the room completely froze.

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

　Ars-sama, who had been responding to the messenger with the same expression as before, released a terrifyingly violent amount of magical power.

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

"Bite brother, do it!"

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

　And then, in that frozen state, Master Ars' voice uttered one word.

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

　I did not immediately understand the meaning of those words.

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

　But there was only one person in the room who understood.

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

　He was there.

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

　Mr. Bite, Master Ars's brother.

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

　The moment he nodded his head and said, "Oh," he had his hard-fang sword [strengthened] and was ready to slash at me.

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

　No one could even stop him.

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

　As a result, the messenger who was supposed to have come on behalf of the king was cut off because of his careless words.

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

　What are they going to do?

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

　Many knights are crowding around Master Ars and asking him questions.

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

　Especially, as Lord Elans says, pointing a sword at the royal family is not a good thing to do.

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

　Normally, it would be unthinkable to point a sword at a royal family.

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

　But it is also an act that should never be done from a practical point of view.

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

　Because the royal family is the only one who sells salt.

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

　The reason why the nobles, no matter how powerful they are, have never completely neglected the royal family is because the royal family is the only one who can sell salt.

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

　Even if they had to fight with the three great noble families, they must not be at enmity with the royal family.

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

　However, Master Ars easily exceeded even such common sense.

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

　Can you make salt?

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

　I had never heard of such magic before.

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

　However, my body understood that the salt I had received from Master Ars was definitely the real thing.

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

　It tasted a little different from the royal salt, but it seemed to be rock salt, though its color was a little lighter red.

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

　I wonder if they have been hiding this kind of salt all this time.

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

　If he could have made it, he would have made a fortune.

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

　Since he always talked about making money, he must have wanted to sell it many times.

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

　But they have never done so.

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

　It would obviously cause trouble with the royal family.

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

　I guess Carlos means that he is a fool, but not an unthinker.

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

　Did this Master Ars decide to defeat the royal messenger and to sell salt?

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

　So, this may be a premeditated action.

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

"Where does Master Ars want this Fontana to go?"

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

　That is why I also asked on behalf of Mr. Elans.

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

　Where is the true intention of Mr. Ars?

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

　What is Master Ars' goal?

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

"...... throne,kingdom. How is that possible, Master Ars? Since ancient times there has been only one royal family. And you're going to name Garud as its king.

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

There's nothing you can't do, Leon. It's not as if there's only one royal family. There are many countries to the east beyond the Great Snow Mountains, and each of them has its own royal family. I'm sure you've heard that story from Gran, too."

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

"Well, isn't that over the other side of the Daisetsuzan Mountains? This is a completely different land from ours. ......

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

"It's not different, Leon. Gran and Thanatos are people just like us. And in the land of those same people, there are many kings. In other words, there is more than one king. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Master Garoad being king.

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

　...... is out of the ordinary.

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

　We have known that Mr. Ars thinks a little differently from the norm.

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

　But he is so different from us.

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

　Perhaps no one in this land has ever considered that someone other than a royal family could be king.

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

　Our ancestors, and even those far beyond them, were subjects of the first king, and there was always one king.

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

　That is the way it is.

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

　It was common sense.

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

　That is why everyone thinks that a king is a special and noble person who can only be a member of a royal family.

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

　This was also true for me when I heard about the countries of the East from Grand-sama.

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

　But is that not so?

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

　Can we be?

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

　Can we be kings, even if we are not royalty?

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

　...... interesting.

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

　After all, Master Ars is interesting.

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

　He has the power to think of things that I have never thought of before and to do them.

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

　Let's do it.

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

　There is no way we can break this trend.

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

　I've known it since the first time I met Master Ars.

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

　I would put the future of the Graham family in his hands.

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

"I understand. Let's do it, Master Ars. I agree with your idea to make the Kingdom of Fontana independent and self-reliant with Leon von Graham and Garoad as king.

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

　With these words, I made it clear that I agreed with Master Ars.

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

　Then I bowed to the throne of the lord, where Master Ars was seated.

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

　And with this day, our Fontana realm became independent from the royal family and began a new chapter in the history of the Kingdom of Fontana.
