　Of course, this does not mean that Rumi's worries are gone. He would have to suffer from every problem. Still, Rumi chose his path.

　Serafina seems to have similar feelings, judging from her expression. I guess that's because my approach was more like a frontal assault.

"No problem. In that case, I would have had to explain myself to the king. Well, even if I had imprisoned Rumi, the information would have gotten out anyway, and the result would have been the same. Then it would be better to let him go back to King's Landing without imprisoning him.

"I'm sure the regent would have done something like making a pincer attack on the capital by forming an alliance with the former king if he was accused of rebellion. In that case, the capital would have fallen easily. From there, it would be complicated, but I think they could at least overthrow the former king.

　Fleur came to my defense.

　It seems that I left everything to Rumi, but the truth is that the odds were stacked against me once I returned to Maust Castle.

　And above all, in the end, I respected Rumi's wishes.

　All that remains is for me to do everything in my power to make Rumi as happy as my other wives.

"Now that I think about it again, Arsrod-sama has made it a habit to be reckless even on the battlefield. I can understand if you think that it was only demonstrated outside of the battlefield.

"Thank you for your understanding, Raviara. I knew it... only a nanny could do that."

"It's not a compliment. I'm just a bit disappointed."

　But maybe I'm a bit of a risk taker rather than a too-solid plan.

　However, there is no such thing as a completely safe way in these war-torn times. There was always the danger of death in battle even if we did nothing and stayed in the countryside.

　We need to take a chance somewhere, and the only thing we can do is to increase the probability of winning the battle. We cannot fight a battle after the victory has been determined in advance.

"I hope you wives get along well with each other."

"I know. I know, but it's hard to know if the Master will love me or his other wives too much, or if his wife will change her mind again.

　Now Serafina can say whatever she wants.

"Last night, after you came to my place, you went to Raviara's place and finally to Fleur's room. I know you like the color of heroes, but isn't this too extravagant?"

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

　Laviala and Fleur blushed at these words. That's right. It's not something to talk about in front of people.

"So you went to Fleur's place after Laviala. ....... Mr. Arsrod, you're too cheerful ......."

"I thought it would be best to appoint a man who had served the Kartis family for a long time. I don't know how far the subordinates will go if we put someone in charge who had no connection with the Kartis family.

"Right. I'm sure the people here still carry the Cartesian era with them. I think it's best to treat the survivors politely.

Well, I think we're done here.
