　Having destroyed the House of Santhira, I returned to King's Landing. It was not so much a triumphal return, but a somewhat welcome one.

　Upon my return, I was the first to go to His Majesty King Hasse I to congratulate him on his victory. I did not want to give even the slightest impression that I had underestimated him.

　Although Hasse I is a foolish man, his reign is getting longer and his hawkish attitude is becoming kingly in its own way.

　In the first place, in the long history of the Kingdom of Sirwil, not all kings have been competent. The bureaucratic structure is designed so that even if a king is not competent, he can still serve to some extent.

"The kingdom is close to unity again. Thanks to the regent. Let us continue to work together as brothers.

　The reason Hasse called me a brother is because I am the legitimate wife of the sister of King Hasse I. That makes me the king's brother-in-law.

"You are still in your twenties. If we rebuild the country together in the next ten or twenty years, we will be able to unify the country one day.

"Yes, that's right. This is just my own wishful thinking, but I hope to unify the whole country in about five years.

　Originally, when I settled down after entering the capital, I had hoped that unification would be achieved in about ten years. In other words, we have reached the turning point.

"Five years. That's really exciting. If that happens, I will be able to make a name for myself as a middle-ranking monarch, which is not a bad thing.

　Hasse said sincerely. It's a fine line between being the founder of the Middle Kingdom and being the last monarch of the Kingdom of Thirlwil.

　However, the king does not seem to have that much doubt. If he can continue to deceive, so much the better.

　I have spent the last five years trying to gain his trust.

　If we have to go to war all the time, power will gradually be concentrated in the hands of those who lead the army. What it will cause is the fear that I will be left out in the open. In fact, in the past, there have been many who have won wars in the course of winning them and have gained enough power to secede from the king or to oust him.

　But even if they do that early on, they will only be a regional power around the capital. No matter how much cause they gather, they are just usurpers of power in the eyes of the distant lords. They will never be strong enough to rule the whole country.

　And one of the patterns is that they will eventually be defeated by other enemies, fall away from the center of the country to the provinces, and be killed somewhere.

　Therefore, it is right to unify the country first with the king.

　So says Oda Nobunaga.

　--Do you understand?　Use the authority above you while you can. The High King was also annoyed with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but he did not kill him until the end. In fact, he didn't want to do so much because it would have been troublesome just to exile him. ....... I offered to make his son the next Shogun, but he refused. .......

　I know. I'm not going to make the same mistake you did.

　--I don't like the way you talk. I didn't mean it that way. The High King never did anything to crush him completely until he became superior to Yoshiaki.

　Even if he did, he would've set up a siege. There was still something wrong. We don't want to make enemies for the sake of making enemies.

　Oda Nobunaga laughed. It echoes in my head and is quite annoying.

　--Lie to me! You are essentially a man who loves war. Isn't that why you're sending troops north to fight your own kin?　You want to cross swords with anyone who can fight.

　That's a fine line. Maybe not entirely.

　Ailes Cartesian, chief of Mineria, is, so to speak, the first warlord I ever admired and the first wall I ever stood against. It was only when the House of Navre was on the verge of destruction that I was awakened to its power.

　Ailes Kartis must be in his mid-forties. If left unchecked, he will eventually decline both physically and mentally. Maybe now is the time to fight.

　--Do as you please. His wife may hate him with all her heart, or she may not say anything, so it's a fine line.

　Oda Nobunaga once felled his father-in-law's castle, so he seems to have some sentimentality about it. However, since he would have banished the son of the man who killed his father-in-law, there should have been no problem from a nominal point of view.

　The report of the victory was still going on.

"So, my Lord Regent, I have a question..."

　The king said, a little reservedly.

"Yes, what is it?"

"How are you and Rumi getting along?　As a brother, I am concerned about my sister. She is also naive, and since she was 13 years old when she was brought into the family, I wonder if there are many things she doesn't know ......."

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

　I see. So that's the story. In a way, it may mean that the king can afford to be concerned about his sister. When they first met, he was a dropout and all he cared about was becoming king. You mean that you have enough food and clothing and know how to be civilized.

　I am relieved to be able to reply in such a colorful way.

"Then I will speak frankly with Your Majesty.

　I get a serious look on my face.

"Ummm... ......"

"I had some childishness left in me when I became your wife, but more than five years have passed since then, and to tell the truth, I did not expect you to become so beautiful. Is this what royal blood is all about?"

　Hasse looked relieved.

　Someone quickly came out from the curtains. There was no fear, because there was no killing. I knew there was someone there.

"Oh, thank God! I was so excited...".

　Rumi appeared quickly. He looks relieved and smoothes his chest. She has a very large breast, but it is so large that "patting down" is an apt description of her breasts. I didn't expect them to grow so much. .......

　A court poet or someone said that the current Rumi is the most beautiful in the city, and he is not wrong. Her beauty has grown naturally with age, mixed with the light of her intelligence and her innate gentleness. She is indeed the ideal princess.

　But the way she makes her brother listen to her opinions seems to have not changed since the old days.

Rumi, I hope I'm not causing too much trouble for Your Majesty.

　When she laughs like that, I can smell a little of the girl she was when we first met.

　It was supposed to be a political marriage, but I'm getting more into it than she is. Serafina will laugh at me.
