"It's been a long time, my Lord Regent.

　With a mature smile, Jahnhahn bails.

"How are things in King's Landing?　No, it would be tactless to talk about such things out of the blue. I have something to show you. I'll show you."

　I took him to a room dedicated to the tea ceremony, small as a toy.

　The entrance was so low that one had to bend down to get in.

　Inside, there was a table, with the host and guest facing each other.

"I made them make it for me to spread the tea ceremony. I'd like to hear what you think of it.

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

"It's really wonderful."

　Immediately Jahnhahn bent down and entered the tea room.

"I see, I see. The inside is also very well done. The only thing is that it is a little too luxurious. It would be better if the materials were more simple.

"It's because the craftsmen were afraid to make it poorly. He was afraid I would punish him. I told him beforehand not to make it too fancy.

"But we can still have a tea ceremony. Shall we have a tea ceremony? I've brought tea.

　That was my plan, too. That's what I was going to do.

　Jahnhahn quietly prepared the tea. A dignified air pervaded the small tea ceremony.

"Has the taste of tea changed?"

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

Tea is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It tastes different from one place to another.

　There is nothing merchant-like about Jahnhahn at the tea ceremony. It is like meeting a nun.

　The fact that he is able to change the atmosphere of the room in such a way can be attributed to his own ability, but also to the effect of this small tea room. Entering this room, one can naturally reset one's mind.

"How is the taste?"

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

　Jahnhahn looks as serene as the mother in the painting.

"It's bitter. "It's bitter, but not unpleasantly so. It's a comforting taste."

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

"I'm glad to hear it."

　Silently, like a statue, Jahnhahn smiled.

　The room is filled with a little soundless time. It was not an uncomfortable silence either.

　It was a silence that seemed to scrub away the grime from our hearts.

"Now, may I tell you something about King's Landing?"

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

"Yes, by all means, tell me more."

　Finally, we get down to business. In the tea ceremony room, the main topic may be the tea ceremony.

"At last, the plan to conquer the West has materialized. His Majesty will be the commander-in-chief, and three of the king's relatives, dukes and marquises, will be his deputy generals.

　From then on, Jahnhahn continued to reveal more and more information. The military information was so revealing that it was almost creepy.

　If this much was in Jahnhahn's ears, it was clear that the king was not good with secrets. What will he do if the enemy finds out about the more serious operations?

"I knew the lords didn't like it, but in the end, they had to formalize it somehow with the royal family. This way, if it fails, the blame can be placed on the vice general's class."

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

"Yes, it seems that they decided to mobilize by telling the lords that even if they lost, they would cover up for them in the royal family."

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

　I guess that was the only way to get rid of the problem. Royalty cannot continue to resist if the king begs them, and in a sense, they are motivated to fight against the former king because they share a common destiny with the king.

"It's still a better arrangement than having lords who are unwilling to fight. But only better."

"So, am I right in assuming that we can't win this battle?"

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

"It is possible that the enemy is even more cowardly, but the commanders of the royal army are a bunch of amateurs. If they lose the first battle, they will lose the will to fight."

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

　Winning the first time is not a problem, and perhaps the adversary knows it. And that much is not impossible.

"We will attack the enemy head-on with our best men, and make them lose their head. If possible, take a general's head or two. If we can achieve that much, most of the lords who have been forced to follow us will think it's over.

"By the way, the king's army has managed to reach 22,000, and the enemy is a combined force of 10,000, with Viscount Kark at the core. The enemy is 10,000 with Viscount Kark's army as the core.

　I chuckled.

"Try losing by more than twice the numbers. Hasse's army will fall apart at once."

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

　Well, we'd better start thinking about our marching route.

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

"When the Kings' army returns from defeat, it should still be left in Maust. But as soon as Hasse is dead, we will advance the army to King's Landing.

"After all, Your Excellency, you do want His Majesty to die, don't you?"

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

I didn't say that. I'm afraid the former king's faction will become too powerful. I don't know which is better. We just have to consider all possibilities.

　The timing of the conquest was also confirmed by Jahnhahn.

　There are still months to go. Apparently, it was just after Rumi gave birth.

"It's going to be a big battle, isn't it?

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

　Jahnhahn looked me in the eye.

"Three years from now, you will either be king or in your grave."

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

"I hope you will be king. But praying won't help."

　We were in a tea ceremony room, but before I knew it, my hands were sweating.

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

　I am getting a little worked up, too.

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

　Your majesty, I'm fighting from afar in a sense, so please go all out against the enemy. If you don't, they will.

　Please remember the basic of the Art of War.
