"International law. I did hear that Charlotte and her friends have something like that, but what's the point?　I don't think anyone is going to protect them."

"Well, maybe you're right, Kyle. In fact, I think it might be a bit of a nobrainer, too."

"Then why did you propose to create such a thing?"

It's just another way to convince the Reinsatz family. But, come on, it's hard to fight each other forever. I really want to make a rule for each country to reduce conflicts."

　After seeing him off, I explained what I had just said to Kyle in the town of Richard.

　As expected, he gave me the expected answer.

　What's the point of international law?

　I think it is worth a try, but I also think it may not make much sense in the end.

　It is a matter of course that war is opened by breaking the international law, or there may be a surprise attack by circumventing the law.

　However, it is still better to have rules.

　This may be useful, for example, in the postwar process.

　If there is a battle and the winner can do whatever he/she wants, it could be quite radical.

　In fact, the Memento family caused many problems when they occupied the capital.

　In order to prevent such problems, it would be better to define the treatment of occupied lands, post-war compensation, and the treatment of prisoners of war.

　In this sense, the aristocrats in the metropolitan area, who have experienced the fear of outlaws firsthand, may agree to the enactment of this international law.

　And I think that the Reinsatz family will at least appear at the meeting to discuss the enactment of the international law.

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

　This is a good prospect, since they have had a lot of hardships so far.

　If the Reinsatz family is recognized as a royal family and its status is at least equal to that of the Doren and Fontana families, I believe that they will be on board even if they are not willing to abide by the international law.

　It is enough for the Reinsatz to show that they are willing to join the discussion in this way.

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

　This would at least lead to their support for the settlement.

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

　But if we really want to make international law, we should invite others to join us.

　For example, the Risorte family is still calling itself a royal family and has created the Kingdom of Risorte, although the royal house of Doren does not recognize it even today.

　And the Memento family is still alive and well, although they have declined, but they still maintain their power in their own lands.

　We will have to consider how to deal with them.

"I mean, would the Kingdom of Fontana agree to that?　Isn't it a bit of a toss-up as to whether it's in Fontana's best interest as well?"

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

"Well, I don't know. I'll talk to Leon about it. I guess the council will have to consider it.

　Recognize the Reinsatz family as a royal family and create a common law that can be used in all countries.

　I think Kyle is trying to say how much this action means to Fontana.

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

　It certainly does.

　If Fontana wants to expand its power outside of the country, anything that will act as a brake on that momentum will only be a hindrance.

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

　But it is still a time for Fontana to build up its power.

　For example, if we can make an international law and buy some time, even a few years, Rion may agree with us.

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

　With this in mind, I decided to return to the city of Fontana and consult with him.

"International law?　Good. Shall I make a proposal to the council?"

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

"Huh?　You agree with me that easily?　I thought you'd be a little more opposed to this, Leon."

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

"I don't see any need to object. Besides, it probably won't be in compliance with international law."

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

"Hmm?　What do you mean?　I'm not sure why you would be willing to help make a law that is unlikely to be followed."

"We will use the international laws made in the East as a base to make laws that apply here. It will probably take some time before it is enacted. We will compare our opinions with each other's, find items that are in agreement, and put them together as a law. However, no matter how much effort you put into making a good international law, some countries will easily break it. However, it can be a good reason to do so.

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

"I see. So we have a reason to attack a country because it breaks international law.

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

That's right. It is fine once international law is established and peace is achieved. If it buys time, even temporarily, so be it. It will be a good period for the Kingdom of Fontana to increase its power. And after that, if a country breaks the law, we can use that as a reason to move. We believe that there are more advantages than the fact that international law will make it more difficult to move. It depends on the content of the law.

"Well, could you see if you can find someone from Rion to attend the meeting on international lawmaking?　Perhaps the flow of events would be for the Reinsatz family to recognize the reconciliation between the royal house of Doren and the kingdom of Fontana, followed by the funeral of the previous king of Doren. After that, I think it will be a meeting with the heads of state of the various countries."

"Okay. Then, I will talk to the council about that as well. I will also talk to Pope Paul. If international law is to be made, the Church should be included in that law.

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

"Yes, that's true. There is a war ban and a declaration that the church will withdraw from the land if the ban is broken, and it was said that certain standards are necessary for this.

　He returns to the city of Fontana and talks to Leon.

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

　He agreed more easily than I had expected.

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

　It seems that Rion has decided that it would be beneficial to Fontana no matter which way the conversation goes.

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

　That is true.

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

　For now, there is no reason for the Fontana side to break the established law.

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

　Rather, the more time they can buy, the more they can enhance their national power.

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

　It is likely that they decided that it would be better to act after that.

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

　Through Rion, we are going to talk about the creation of this international law to the Kingdom of Resolute and others, in addition to the Church.

　Can we at least have an international law-making conference this year?

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

　As I was thinking about this and making preparations for such an event, I received urgent news.
