I went to Hasse and told him that I wanted to return to Maust.

Not only Hasse, but also his closest advisors were in turmoil. Even though he is a regent, a general who supports the nation wants to be away from the capital. And this at a time when the talk of conquering the West was about to get into full swing.

Hasse, too, seemed unable to hide his uneasiness. From the looks of things, I guessed that Rumi had not told Hasse anything.

The reason is simple. My wife is pregnant. And Maust is much warmer in climate than King's Landing with the river winds."

Hasse is naive as a king to ask for a reason himself at a time like this. He can make up any number of excuses. In the end, he can get nothing more than his own peace of mind.

"Besides, the current King's Landing is inevitably a bit bleak in the face of the conquest of the West. If I leave my wife in such a place, my heart will not be at ease and it will not be good for mother and child. I want to take her back to Maust, where it is quiet, and watch over her by my side.

There is not the slightest hint of fiction in these words. For Rumi's sake, I must leave King's Landing. It would be best for Rumi if he could stay in a place where the war was not on his mind.

The expressions on the faces of some of the close advisors turned pale. They were probably thinking of what they would do if Hasse blamed them for this. Apparently, they had not read that I would withdraw from the battlefield, much less blockade Maust.

"That's no question. However, the position of regent is too powerful and may have been seen as tyrannical by others. In order to reflect on this, I have decided that it would not be a bad idea to return to Maust for a while. Fortunately, the bureaucracy is much better than it was under the previous king. The absence of a single regent will not cause any delay in government affairs.

I'll never give up on my side. No one will say that it would be treason if I returned to Maust. The former king will not be able to stop laughing if he sends his army out of King's Landing against me.

If that happens, the worst that can happen is that I might even join with the former king. No matter how much I dislike him, I can't choose him to divide us before I conquer the West.

From the looks of things, Hasse will probably send his close advisors who advised him to keep me away. My going back to Maust would be a setback for our military power. Hasse will make him take responsibility for that.

I have defeated rebels like Ailes Kartis and Brand Nahum, and I have more territory under my control. I would like to get the management of it in full swing. Also, it would be good to make friends with other lords in remote areas. Such a policy, which is difficult to implement in the capital, can be done easily from Maust.
