　Back in Maust, I visited Crown Prince Hasse.

　He has built a villa in the castle for the Crown Prince. This is where Hasse's family lives.

　Incidentally, Hasse had married the daughter of a chief vassal as a concubine. Incidentally, Hasse married a daughter of his chief vassal as a concubine, though it is said that she is not his legal wife. It is said that he will not have a wife until he becomes king.

"Thanks to Kerala, a knight of the Crown Prince's Kingsguard, we had a good battle. Thank you very much.

"Kerala. She's just a woman with a big head. They say dwarves are hard workers, but she's too hardworking for me.

　Apparently, Hasse does not take Kerala very seriously.

"It's not so much that she's stifling, but that she has the body of a knight of the Kingsguard, and her face is so beautiful that it takes my breath away."

"The Count is very flattering. If you're so keen, I'll make you a formal offer of vassalage."

"Thank you for your happiness. I will give you an estate immediately and treat you as a viscount."

　You are a man without discernment, to say the least. But thanks to you we have a good general.

　Since Kerala is a woman, she has access to the wives' quarters of the castle. This has allowed us to organize a lot of annual events for the women. The castle is as good as a royal castle in terms of appearance alone.

　Also, Kerala's expression is so dignified that the maidens and others are shouting yellow. It's true that she has the air of a young knight. She was in the service of the Crown Prince and has a clean look.

　I called Kerala and talked with her about the next war.

"Next we will attack the province of Shala. The Antoinians are not so afraid, but there are powerful princes in the region who want to tame them.

"The Nistonians hold the port of Nistonia."

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

　Immediately Kerala replied. You know this much.

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

"Yes, I do. The Nistonians have a strong navy. Together with its neighbors, it can maneuver as many as 200 ships. They control the sea traffic. I come from a province without a sea, so I lack a navy.

　The Nistonians would love to have it.

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

"We could attack them from the land and destroy them. But if the Nistonians are destroyed, the navy will be scattered. Forcing a land commander on the sea will not win over the sea men. I want to pull the Nistonians out of this situation."

　The Antoine family is not without influence, but the Nistonians are an independent force. So far they have chosen to ignore it, but it is not impossible to bring them in.

　Silently, Kerala listened. Her expressionless face must have made Hasse think she was bitter. However, as someone with a special vocation, I felt a kinship with her.

"This Nistonia family must be reasonably well off, since they own the port. They must have different values from the country aristocrats because of the goods coming in from the sea. I want you to take this into account in your entertainment."

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

"Entertainment, sir?"

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

Yes. There is no one in the land as cultured as you. Perhaps you are the best in all of King's Landing thanks to your profession as Aketomi Mitsuhide. If you show the highest cultural standards to the Nistonians, I am sure they will be no match for you.

"Yes, sir. I will prepare the best for you, as if you were entertaining a king. If only you come with me, I will make sure that you will be satisfied.

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

　Yes, Kerala nodded.

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

"Yeah, I don't expect you to fail. And there's something else I need to talk to you about. I need you to come over here for a minute."

　I kissed Kerala quickly on the mouth as she came to me silently.

"You are very fond of her, aren't you, Count?"

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

"No, I don't. The Crown Prince wasn't interested in you, but that's a shame. You've got me down.

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

"The Crown Prince does not like his Dwarven origins. The royal guard in its heyday did not include elves, dwarves, or other beastmen.

　Kerala did not change her expression after the kiss,

"Have you ever been made fun of for your strange profession?"

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

　Kerala's face twitched slightly as she said this.

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

"Yes. ....... I got a lot of white eyes ....... I was also told many times that I should not become a knight because the benefits of the profession were not suitable for the battlefield. ....... It is true that I am not strong enough to play with sword and bow like a great man, so I am not wrong. ......"

　Kerala is not a cold-hearted person, but was probably brought up that way by the environment around her.

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

　No matter how good she was at her craft, she could not be proud of herself because she was also aware that she was a knight.

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

"I, too, am what is called a variant of the profession. Immediately after I received my profession, my brother and his cronies made fun of me. I was frustrated, but I couldn't say anything back then. I had to show them my power, because that's the only way to get them to look back."

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

　So I showed them back. I became a great lord of three prefectures, including Icto.

"Serve me. Serve me. I will make sure that your name will remain in the history books for a thousand years to come."

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

"Thank you."

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

　Kerala gave a slight smile and said, "I'm sorry.

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

　Then he hugged Kerala.

"I've learned ...... a little bit about how to amuse a partner. ......"

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

　Kerala, blushing like this, served me quite well.

　That one night, I had become a captive of the brown Dwarf woman.

"I told Raviara that I had nothing to do with Kerala, but now I'm lying. ......"

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

"Since it was true at the time you told us your story, you could not have deceived us."

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

　Kerala, who is sleeping with me, told me.
