"But the question is, how will the Reinzatz family react?

"Is this a move by the powerful noble house of Rheinsatz, Mr. Joseph? What do they have to say about the reconciliation between the royal house of Doren and the kingdom of Fontana?

"I think it would be most appropriate to say that he is showing some reluctance. The Reinisatz family will not tolerate the situation here and will not stand by and do nothing.

"It's not just a question of face, is it?"

"Of course. First of all, there is security. The mere fact that an enclave of the powerful Kingdom of Fontana has been established near their territory is a problem. From their point of view, the Reed family's lands are part of their own lands, and they are claiming that they are occupying them unfairly."

"I see. Well, I suppose you would say that. But the Reed Estate was carved out at the request of the Church. In fact, this is how they ended up flying the former site of the Holy City into the sky to create the Cemetery in the sky. The Reed domain, including the city of Richard, which is also its gateway, no longer belongs to the Reinsatz family.

"Mm-hmm. If that were enough, there would be no such thing as war. Besides, it is not only a question of lands. There seems to be a perception that the settlement itself is a threat to the existence of the house of Reinsatz.

"Hegemonic aristocratic status, is it?"

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

That's right. By forming an alliance with the House of Doren, the Reinsatz have gained an advantage over the other noble families. That is why we call it the Hegemonic Nobility. However, if the Kingdom of Fontana were to make peace with the House of Dorren, this alliance might be threatened. In other words, there is a possibility that they may fall from the position of the Hegemonic Nobility.

"I see. If they take even a part of our lands and our alliance with them becomes doubtful, it would be very difficult for us to agree to a settlement.

　Joseph swore as he looked at the body of his predecessor laid to rest in the sky cemetery.

　However, it seems that the old man's words are not enough to make the matter of reconciliation go away so easily.

　The situation is so difficult that Josef's hair has lost its blackness.

　That was the way the Reinsatz family, the high aristocracy, was treated.

　The royal house of Döhren could not easily separate the Reinsatz family from the Döhren family.

　After all, they were not sure how much they could trust the Kingdom of Fontana, which had been their adversary until then.

　In fact, the Reinisatz family did a great job in rescuing the Memento family from the violence of the Fontana family.

　And it is also the Reinisatz family that has rescued the devastated royal city area.

　I think this may have something to do with the fact that the debt of gratitude is too great for them to act on their own convenience without considering the other party's face.

　But even so, the succession of the royal house of Doren must be regained.

　In the worst case scenario, they may be willing to do so even if it means cutting off the Reinsatz family.

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

　But in such a case, what is expected is a conflict between the allied forces of the Reinisatz and Fontana Doren royal families.

　However, only the newly established Reed family's territory is located near this royal capital area, and it is unlikely that they will be able to compete with the Reinisatz family.

　This is why it is difficult for them to make a decision to leave the Reinsatz so easily.

"Hmmm. Then there is no way, Mr. Joseph.

"What?　Do you have any bright ideas?"

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

"It's not a great idea, but I think you'll find it rather easy to convince them.

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

"...... easily," you say?　What do you propose to do?"

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

"We are offering the Reinsatz family a profit. If you agree to a reconciliation between the royal house of Doren and the kingdom of Fontana, you will benefit. Then they will cooperate with us.

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

Profit, you say? That may be true, but to be honest, I don't think that the Doren royal family can offer the Reinsatz family a satisfactory profit in addition to the favor they have received from the Reinsatz family.

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

No, I don't think so. No, I don't think so. Rather, there are things that the royal house of Doren can do.

What the hell is that?

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

We will give you the kingdom. A bargaining chip that will convince the Reinsatz family, the high nobility. It's more than just a position as a highborn nobleman. And what is that? The right to be a royalty, Joseph. The House of Reinsatz is to be recognized as a royal house.

"What?　Make the Reinsatz family a royal family?　That's absurd, that's not possible. ......"

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

"It's not impossible. Or rather, as long as the royal house of Doren approves. And the Reinsatz family will probably accept the offer. After all, they once claimed to be a royal family themselves.

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

　We knew that the Reinsatz family would be the last obstacle to this settlement.

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

　If Joseph and the rest of the Doren royal family could convince the Reinsatzs, all the better.

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

　I had thought so, but it seemed that it would be difficult.

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

　So, I offer a helping hand.

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

　The idea was to create a new royal family.

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

　Once upon a time, the Fontana family had been at enmity with the House of Dorren and called themselves a new royal family.

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

　A king 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

　In a world where such a notion is common, I made a maneuver when I made Garoad of the House of Fontana the king.

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

　It was a maneuver that could be called "the forest that hides the trees.

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

　Or, if we all crossed the red light together, we wouldn't be afraid.

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

　At that time, I had moved the church to make the Fontanas kings, and I had asked the Risortes and the Reinsatz to become kings as well.

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

　As a result, the Rizzolte family is now a royal family and has created the Kingdom of Rizzolte.

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

　And at that time, the Reinisatz family was also named as a royal family.

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

　However, as the situation moved on, the Reinisatz family decided to follow the path of a hegemonic aristocrat without claiming to be a king.

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

　However, it is doubtful that this has removed the ambition to become a royal family.

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

　Rather, the Fontana family is still alive and well even though they call themselves kings, and there is a possibility of reconciliation with the Doren royal family.

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

　Then, don't you think that you might want to do the same?

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

　If we can negotiate with them, the Reinsatz family may accept the reconciliation with the Doren royal family.

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

　After all, they are suffering from the relief of the royal city area, which has become a burden to them.

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

　Apparently, this idea never occurred to Joseph and the rest of the Doren royal family.

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

　Well, that may be so.

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

　To them, there has always been only one king, King Doren.

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

　Even if Fontana or Risolte called himself king, they did not recognize him at all.

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

　That is why the idea of giving the throne to the Reinsatz family never even occurred to them.

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

　But they would not have had much of a choice.

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

　For a while Joseph growled in rejection of this idea, but as time went by and he gathered his thoughts, he gradually came to understand the idea.

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

　Thus, the possibility of a reconciliation between the royal families of Doren and Fontana suddenly emerged, leading to the birth of a new royal family.
