　Word then spread throughout the land that Viscount Geisel of Navre had, at the last moment, given up his position to his younger brother, Baron Arsrod of Harth.

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

　Those who had been pro-Geisel could not say that his illness had been a lie, and now the matter was settled. If they are still unwilling to comply, then let's just crush them one by one.

　I have succeeded to the title of Viscount Nayville.

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

　Some were taken aback by his words, while others chuckled.

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

"There's nothing funny about that. I think I have all the makings of a great king. I have risen from a fief half a village to this. Even when my brother was alive, I was the second most powerful man in the land after him."

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

　Those who had laughed at my words, thinking I was joking, looked ashamed.

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

　Well, I understand why they were laughing, so I don't get angry.

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