"Nothing would please me more than to see King Doren return to his position as head of the royal family. If it comes to pass, I will work my old bones as hard as I can. I look forward to your kind attention.

　Josef bows his head to me.

　He must be very determined.

　He is from a noble family that has served the royal family of Doren for many years.

　To him, I must seem like an upstart from a peasant family.

　Moreover, I once cut off an envoy from the royal family to the Fontana family, and I have since been at loggerheads with the Dorien royal family.

　In other words, I am no better than Naja in the eyes of the royal house of Doren.

　Even if I were not, the city people of the royal sphere would see me as no more than a weed from the countryside.

　But to bow down to them, I feel an extraordinary feeling.

"Please raise your head, Joseph. It is possible to restore the lost succession of the House of Dorren. And I for one will not refuse it. For the magical inheritance must return to its rightful owner."

But I have a condition.

"What is ......?"

"Reconciliation with the House of Dorren. That is the only condition for restoring the succession.

"Reconciliation?"

That's right, Joseph. I was once acting head of the House of Fontana when I united the knights against the House of Dorren. We won the battle and the Fontana family became independent and established our country. But even though we had no choice under the circumstances, we never had any desire to put our swords to the sword against the royal house of Dorren.

"Yes, yes, I know. It was the wrong person who sent the messenger at that time. His remarks aggravated the relationship between the two sides and brought about the current situation. I am well aware that there was never a feud between the royal families of Doren and Fontana. At any rate, Carlos, the founder of the Kingdom of Fontana, treated the previous King of Doren well.

"I am glad to hear you say so. That's exactly right, an unfortunate event has led to a conflict between the two sides. And even now, the relationship has not yet been completely restored. However, such a situation cannot continue forever, can it?"

"Yes, that's right. I see. So, when the succession is restored to King Doren, the Fontana royal family, and you and the Doren royal family will once again reconcile and try to repair the relationship between the Fontana royal family and the Doren royal family?

That's exactly right, Mr. Joseph. That's right, Mr. Joseph. The Holy City is currently under reconstruction. So, when the Holy City can function to some extent, how about having Cardinal Miglia, the Superintendent of the Holy City, act as an intermediary and carry out the plan?

"Yes, of course. If that is all, I will return to King's Landing immediately and persuade those around me.

　Kaiser Valkyrie's title as the head of the Doren royal family.

　In returning it, I offered a deal.

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

　To regain the succession would be a non-negotiable for the Doren royal family.

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

　So, I thought in my mind that I might be able to make as many offers as I wanted to.

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

　However, I decided not to push too hard.

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

　Of course, I could do that, but there is not much that I really want to squeeze out of the current royal family of Doren.

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

　Therefore, we have decided to choose to repair and mend our once hostile relationship.

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

　At first glance, this may seem to make sense.

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

　Certainly, the tangible value is not clear.

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

　However, I believe that there will probably be various ripple effects.

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

　First of all, the most important one would be that it would buy time.

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

　Joseph will have to convince others to make a deal with the Doren royal family in order to regain the succession.

　If it is King Dorren who is currently calling himself king, people around him, and nobles and knights who are related to the Dorren royal family, it would be rather easy to persuade them to say something.

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

　However, there are some whom it is difficult to persuade.

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

　That is the Reinsatz family, the high nobility.

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

　It is the Reinsatz family that actually supports the royal family of Doren, which has lost its power but still has a strong presence.

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

　They have expelled and liberated the Memento family that occupied the royal capital, and they are rescuing the devastated royal city area.

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

　For the Reinsatz family, the sudden appearance of the Reeds at the site of the Holy City must be an eyesore.

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

　Perhaps they will attack us as soon as the snow melts.

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

　However, if the Reinsatz family and the Reed family, and by extension the Kingdom of Fontana, enter into a state of war, the royal family of Doren will be in trouble.

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

　They want to regain the succession as quickly and surely as possible, but they will not be able to do so if their business partners attack them.

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

　Therefore, Joseph must convince the Reinsatz family.

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

　He has to tell them that the Kingdom of Fontana and the royal house of Doren are reconciled and are no longer enemies, so they should not attack him.

　In name alone, the Church has issued a ban on warfare.

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

　And apart from that, the royal house of Dorren wants a reconciliation and truce with the Kingdom of Fontana.

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

　The Reinsatz will not be able to move without it.

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

　The deal was just right, since the Reeds would be too outnumbered if they had to fight the allied forces of the other noble families before the spring.

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

　And a settlement with the royal house of Dorren could be a bargaining chip with the other nobles.

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

　The royal house of Dorren, which once ruled over all the nobles.

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

　The other nobles could not easily accept the existence of the Fontana family, who established an independent kingdom in opposition to the Dorien royal family.

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

　But what would happen if the Dorians made peace with the Fontanas and recognized their independence and that the Fontanas were also kings?

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

　The two authorities, the Church and the House of Dorren, would officially recognize Fontana as a king.

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

　Moreover, the Fontana family has a good relationship with the royal house of Dorren, and is not an enemy of the church.

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

　If this is the case, it would be easier for the nobles who had not been under Fontana's authority due to various ties to join the Kingdom of Fontana.

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

　In other words, this reconciliation may make it easier for the nobles to make plots against other nobles.

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

　Therefore, the true purpose of this deal is not just a reconciliation.

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

　It is possible that the opponents who would normally be the enemies of the entire Reed family may come to our side.

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

　Perhaps the situation could be turned upside down like Othello.

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

　And it was not me who would do it, but an old man named Josef, who looked happy to have reached an agreement in front of me.

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

　Good luck convincing him, Mr. Joseph.

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

　We are no longer interested in the magic of the royal house of Doren.

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

　We had been using the Horned Ants to secure the western jungle, but that has been settled to a certain extent.

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

　I smiled and shook hands with Joseph, knowing that we had made a deal that would have various effects with the cards we had in our hands that we could not afford to lose.
