"Joseph?　...... You didn't just keel over from heartache, did you?"

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

"You are the head of the Bismarck family in the service of the royal house of Doren. After meeting with Mr. Ars, Joseph returned to the capital area and talked to King Doren and his entourage. It is said that he fell victim to a deadly blade at the meeting.

"Hmmm. I got the feeling when I talked to him that he was going to be able to convince King Dorren and the others."

"The Bismarcks are known to be rather militant in the royal sphere. It seems that they were furious that you turned back in front of the body of the previous king."

　While we were having such a meeting, Rion informed us of an incident that had occurred in the capital.

　It seems that Joseph lost his life while he was trying to persuade the people around him back in King's Landing.

　It seems that the person who did it was the head of a prestigious noble family in the service of the royal family of Doren.

　According to the information Leon got, they had a dispute over the previous king.

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

　Well, of course.

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

　The previous king was presumed dead.

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

　However, even though he is dead, there is no sign that the throne will be transferred to the prince who is the first in line of succession.

　The royal family of Dorren and other noble families were wondering what was going on.

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

　The succession to the throne of King Doren may be restored.

　Surprisingly, information from the hostile Kingdom of Fontana suggested such a possibility.

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

　And in order for this to happen, the Kingdom of Fontana and the Royal House of Doren would have to make peace.

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

　If that was the end of the story, it would have been somehow accepted.

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

　However, when Joseph went to discuss the matter once more, he found out that the other party had kept the body of the previous king.

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

　How is such a coincidence possible?

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

　Perhaps the Fontana side had somehow taken custody of the previous king.

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

　Perhaps this is what they thought.

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

　Then, what about Joseph who brought the information back to King's Landing?

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

　Joseph confirmed the body of the previous king with his own eyes.

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

　Why didn't he bring back the body on the spot?

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

　Or is Joseph himself in communication with the other party?

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

　Don't tell me that you had something to do with the failure to return the Doren heir.

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

　Maybe that's what they thought.

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

　And those who thought so lost their temper.

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

　He might have fallen on his sword, not doubting that the story, which was only one of the possibilities, was true.

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

"Maybe I shouldn't have shown them the body of the previous King Doren...?"

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

"Maybe so. If it were the other way around, we would be angry too. Well, it's still not a good idea to cut them off and choke them out.

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

"...... now that this has happened, there will be no more talk of reconciliation with the Doren royal family. There's no one left to hold the talks together."

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

"And no international law. What are you going to do about ......?"

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

　I don't know.

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

　Maybe I was wrong to be so emotional when Kaiser Valkyrie released the body.

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

　If this is the case, I should have pretended that I had not seen it.

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

　It would have been better to hold the funeral ceremony as a formality without the body, and to bury the body later.

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

　However, I thought it would have been better to let people know about the body as long as it was actually there.

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

　I can only say that I did something completely unnecessary.

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

　But this will probably put an end to the reconciliation between Fontana and the Doren royal family.

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

　At any rate, there is no way to continue the story now that the man who was trying to persuade the Dorians is gone.

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

　...... Well, what's done is done.

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

　I feel bad for Joseph.

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

　I think he was really just doing his duty to the Doren royal family.

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

　If possible, I would like to clear up the misunderstanding, but I may not be able to say so.

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

　It is a question of what the royal family of Doren or the Bismarcks will do.

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

　Perhaps, they may gather their troops and make a move.

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

　If that happens, Reed territory with Kyle will be in danger.

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

　Thus, upon hearing the news of Josef's death, I decided to move again to deal with the situation.
