What are you talking about? This all happened because of what Master Ars did.

"Well, I don't know what to say to you when you say that. I didn't think it would get this bad.

　It was some time after the battle with the allied forces to defeat Fontana was over.

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

　I was working back in the city of Fontana.

　Khamas is now in the hands of Elans of the Burmese family, who has become Count of the Eastern Frontier.

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

　Elans had always been the type of man who wanted to get ahead, but surprisingly his fighting style was solid and defensive.

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

　Well, he was originally a knight in charge of the city of Burma that Carlos had taken from the rival Uruk family.

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

　He was leading the defense of the fort rather stably in this defense battle as well, so I guess we can rest assured.

　Having been entrusted with the defense of the border line like that, I was working to make the Kingdom of Fontana even more solid.

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

　I didn't do anything too unusual, though.

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

　I was using the knights of Barca to improve the land and build roads and railroads to increase the so-called strength of the country.

　In the meantime, he had Rion, Payne, and others gather information about developments outside the kingdom of Fontana.

　The 250,000 allied troops that had marched to defeat Fontana clashed with Fontana's army at the defensive wall of Carmas on the border line, lost food, and retreated.

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

　During their retreat, they were pursued by Fontana's cavalry and a friendly fire broke out.

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

　From that point on, the Allied forces were in a terrible state.

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

　One of the affected noble families, whose lands were on the retreat route, was furious and deserted from the Allied Forces.

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

　They also refused to allow the Allied troops to pass through their lands and refused to provide them with food.

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

　The food shortage within the Allied Forces had originally led to further confusion within the army.

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

　However, it was Memento's army, which should have been in overall command, that added to the confusion.

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

　Memento's army had the largest amount of food among the allied forces.

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

　This is simply due to the fact that Memento was a powerful nobleman with an abundance of food, but it was also due to the fact that he was prepared for the air attacks by airships from Fontana.

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

　It was the only one of the allied forces that suffered little damage from the burning of so much food.

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

　The food of Memento's army was distributed among the Allied forces, but it is said that this was not very fair.

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

　It seems that they were not very fair in distributing the food among the Memento forces, because they were not very good at taking responsibility for the previous friendly fire.

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

　And then there were the noblemen who were angry.

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

　They quarreled with Memento's army and a big rift began to form between the noble armies in the coalition.

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

　And noble armies have never been well-disciplined.

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

　Originally, it was the traditional way for a nobleman with magic and his retinue to gather peasants and others to go to war, and almost all the armies were so gathered.

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

　Therefore, the peasants could be expected to take advantage if the battle was won, or to flee from the army if not.

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

　Among these peasants, there was one who had leadership skills.

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

　When he got hungry and couldn't stand it any longer, he gathered them together and fled from the army.

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

　But there was only one way to get food in the place they fled.

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

　They became bandits.

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

　The bandits continued their escape, attacking several villages.

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

　The trouble was the nobles in the places they fled to.

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

　They defeated the bandits.

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

　But what went wrong was that they even defeated the soldiers of the nobles' army who were chasing the fugitives.

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

　The soldiers who chased the fugitives were soldiers of the noble families who were friends with the Memento family, and they naturally consulted the Memento family about it and protested against them.

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

　However, it is a natural action for the nobles who rule their lands to deal with the bandits who appear in their territories.

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

　They countered, "What are you complaining about?" In fact, this noble family did not participate in the coalition.

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

　The noble families in the north had no choice but to take action as soon as they heard that Fontana had become independent.

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

　One of the difficult decisions was whether or not they should join the coalition forces, even though they had been ordered by the king, once they gathered in the capital with their armies.

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

　The noble families that were involved in the dispute were the ones that decided to cooperate with the allied forces but not to move their armies.

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

　The Memento family took this point to heart and denounced it as an outrageous act to disobey the king's order and not participate in the coalition army.

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

　Of course, this is a false accusation.

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

　In fact, they were cooperating with the allied forces by providing safe passage through their territories and as much food as they could serve.

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

　However, the fact that they could not achieve any results despite leading a large army to Fontana, and the fact that they killed their own soldiers, made them take a hard line against the army of a friendly noble family.

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

　As a result, they attacked the northern noble houses that had defeated the bandits in conjunction with the noble army that was sympathetic to the accusations of the Memento family.

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

　And what happens in the attacked and fallen cities?

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

　Yes, there were tragic incidents such as looting and humiliation.

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

　As one might expect, the entire Allied forces did not react in the same way.

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

　No wonder, since the innocent nobles were attacked by the Mementos and their cronies.

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

　The allied forces were split in two, with the nobles who left first at the center.

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

　But the Memento family was strong.

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

　Once the two halves of the allied forces met head-on in what turned out to be more than a skirmish, but the Memento camp was victorious in the battle.

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

　But that did not justify bowing to the Memento family.

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

　They contacted King's Landing to condemn the actions of the Memento family and asked for help.

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

　However, although the royal family of Dorren had a reasonable army to defend the capital, it could not possibly have the strength to fight against the aristocratic forces of the Memento family and their cronies.

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

　Even when the King sent a royal decree to the Memento family to stop fighting, they could not even intercede properly because the other side was at fault.

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

　For this reason, the royal house of Dorren sent a further request for help to the Reinsatz, one of the three remaining noble families.

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

　The Reinisatz family said that if they wanted to send out an army, the royal family asked them to officially recognize the Reinisatz family as a new royal family.

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

　Although it was the result of my own initiative, the Reinisatz might have originally thought of becoming king themselves.

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

　However, since they did not want to have a military force to defeat the Reinsatz like Fontana did, they probably decided to get permission from the royal family of Doren first.

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

　The royal family was furious at this, but it would be bad to leave the Memento family running amok.

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

　After thinking about it, they told the royal family as follows.

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

　The Reinsatz family and the Doren royal family formed an alliance, and the Reinsatz family received a royal decree to become the supreme aristocracy.

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

　Originally, it was not necessary to have a royal decree to call oneself a nobleman of supremacy, but it was necessary to form an alliance.

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

　Otherwise, even the great noble families would not have been able to interfere with the royal family regarding the sale of salt.

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

　The Reinsatz family accepted this proposal.

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

　It is difficult to judge this, or perhaps they did not intend to be king at all, but were aiming to become a hegemonic aristocrat, or perhaps they thought that once they became a hegemonic aristocrat, they would have plenty of time to make the royal family recognize their claim to the throne.

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

　We do not know.

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

　We do not know what was in the mind of the Reinsatz family, but in reality, the Reinsatz family allied with the Doren royal family to become the Hereditary Nobility and sent an army against Memento's army that was running amok in the north.

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

　Memento's army won several skirmishes with the rival forces divided within the allied army and started to march against the oncoming Reinisatz army.

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

　A major battle was to ensue, with Memento's allied forces and the Reinisatz forces clashing head-on.

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

　Suddenly, the Reinisatz were attacked.

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

　It was not the Reinisatz forces facing the Memento camp, but the Reinisatz territory that was attacked.

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

　The attack came from the Risorte family, the great nobility in the south.

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

　The Rizzolte family was once ousted from the hegemony of the nobility by the League of the Three Nobles.

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

　No, not anymore.

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

　The Risortes are the new kings and have invaded the territory of Rhine-Satz under the name of the Kingdom of the Risortes.

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

　The Rizzolte family was still powerful enough to be considered a great aristocrat even though they had fallen from the hegemony of the nobility.

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

　Originally, it was so strong that it took an alliance of three great nobles to finally pull it down from its position.

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

　Therefore, the Rhine-Satz family was attacked and was severely chewed up.

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

　If this continued, their lands and their capital would be in danger.

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

　The Reinisatz army was greatly disturbed by this thought.

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

　It seems that Memento's army did not miss the opportunity.

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

　The Memento camp, which was on the verge of battle, launched a surprise attack on the upset and flustered Reinisatz forces.

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

　As a result, the Reinisatz army was defeated.

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

　They immediately gathered their forces and pulled them back into the territory of the Reinisatz.

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

　The Memento camp was expected to pursue the Reinisatz army, but the Memento family took a different course of action.

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

　While chasing after the fleeing Reinisatz army, they changed course and headed for the capital.

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

　To their surprise, Memento's army entered the city and started to protect the royal family.

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

　The Resolute family received the rite from the church without permission and called themselves the royal family.

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

　The Reinisatz family, who had to ask for permission from the royal family and had to be recognized as the supreme aristocrat.

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

　Perhaps they aimed to rise above the other powers by taking a different approach than either of them.

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

　The Memento family wanted to take the king into their own hands and even the economic power of the metropolitan area into their own hands.

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

　...... should remind us of the original state of the house of Memento, or rather of the allied forces.

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

　The nobles who joined Memento's camp in the divided Confederacy were out of control.

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

　They were looting the cities they had captured.

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

　Even if it was in the King's capital area, it would be the same.

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

　Or rather, what would happen if an army that had lost its brakes would flow into the royal city area, which had few forces to defend, but was economically rich and overflowing with goods and money?

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

　Memento's army secured the royal family, but the royal sphere turned into a hell.

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

　The royal city is devastated by looting.

　King Dorren escapes in secret.

　The Memento family continues to sit on the throne in order to protect the throne that is now missing and without a master.

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

　And the result of the allied forces that ravage the city as the followers of the Memento family.

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

　In the very year when Fontana was founded as a kingdom, the situation has become so chaotic that you would think that the situation was actually quite stable until now.

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

　...... It's not my fault, is it?

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

　Surprised at how bad the situation was, I gave the order to tighten the border security even more.
