"Sorry, Kyle. We were in the middle of attacking Fort Costambre and I had to call you back."

"No problem, brother Ars. Besides, I've been thinking that I'd like to talk to Leon face-to-face too. I think it's important to meet face-to-face.

 We have connected a transfer magic circle between the cities of Fontana and Richard so that people can go back and forth between them.

 So far, the transfer magic circle has been set up so that people can go back and forth between the cities of Fontana and Vulcania, and Vulcania and Richard, but now it is possible to travel without going through Vulcania.

 Of course, not just anyone can move around without permission, but a person in charge of the transfer magic circle is assigned in each town and must be contacted by [telepathic communication] before using the circle.

 Therefore, since it was not possible to set up a transfer magic circle without permission in the absence of Kyle, the chief executive of the city of Richard, I had him temporarily return from Fort Costanbul.

 Since the siege of the Costanble Fortress is still ongoing, Kyle will return to the battlefield as soon as his business here is finished.

"Yes, actually I wanted to ask something directly to Leon and his brother Ars. King Doren, or in this case, Sigma Doren, the interim king. I wanted to ask them what they are going to do with the interim king.

"I am aware of that. I'm just wondering what happens after that. If the interim King Sigma Dorren becomes the official King of Dorren, how do you intend to deal with the royal city area and other northern nobles? Right now, the Reed family has won a victory over the King's Landing Coalition Army that was started by the Provisional King, which the Bismarck family has retained, and they have made a deal with each house in exchange for the prisoners of war, but it is subtly difficult to move until the treatment of King Dorren is decided."

"That's no good, brother Ars. I've actually heard stories from those who were taken prisoner by the Royal Allied Forces, and King Dorren is a big figure among the nobles. If we treat him too roughly, I think we'll be inundated with accusations from all sides."

"That may be so, but it's also not a good idea to do anything that would leave him with too much power. So, what if we leave them as a great family with no real power, but take away their territory?"

Yes. Actually, I got this idea from Leon's idea. You are thinking of taking the Kingdom of Risorthe into Fontana by replacing your wife's family with the royal family while keeping the kingdom as it is, aren't you?

"When I heard that, I thought, why not do the same for the royal family of Doren? I thought it would be better to incorporate the royal sphere into Fontana, giving it autonomy as the Kingdom of Doren. If we did that, we would incorporate the royal family without denying their existence value, and it would be a persuasive factor in our subterfuge against the Kingdom of Resolute, wouldn't it?"

 If they thoroughly beat the combined forces of King's Landing and Reinsatz and gain all of their territories, the Reed family's territory could overtake the current Kingdom of Fontana in terms of size.

 In order to quickly incorporate the royal families of Doren and Risorte, they decided to absorb them into the Kingdom of Fontana while retaining a certain amount of royal authority.
