　Compared to Laviala and others, Rumi, who was originally raised as a princess, was lying in bed for a while, probably because she was not strong enough. However, her body itself was in good health, and she was expected to get well again sooner or later.

　Rumi said, teasing me a little.

"You know, I really didn't feel that way. I just wanted you and the baby to be safe. I have witnesses. You can ask Laviala and Altia."

　A woman's face changes when she gives birth to a child. Maybe it just looks that way to me.

　In any case, my policy will be fluid from here on out. How I go about it will depend on how Hasse's conquest of the West plays out.

I have been informed of the situation in King's Landing. It's about time they started to mobilize.

"Yes, that's right. The enemy is the Viscount Kark, the lord of the entrance to the former royalist sphere of influence. The former royalists have gathered there, about 10,000 of them. Well, it's just an outpost.

　The main forces of the enemy, the great lords of the Talmud and Samyut, have not sent out many troops because of the distance between them. Rather, they are probably waiting with bated breath for Hasse and his men to invade deeper.

　Both the Talmudic and Samyan provinces, where the former royalist Counts Talmud and Samyan counts are based, have to cross the Sanad Strait. In effect, they are huge islands. If they land there, they would have no choice but to fight at the enemy's base. The risk for the conquering forces would be quite high.

"You may be worried about your own brother, His Majesty, but for now, think about your own recovery. The men who are going to the battle must protect the king. They won't even get hurt.

Yes. Thank you.

"Surely, the army of the conquering West is not so incompetent as to let the king die in such a place. The funny thing is, even if they lost, it would not matter to most of the people as long as the king was alive. It is unlikely that the former king's faction will invade King's Landing anytime soon.

"Also, I need to decide on a name for my daughter."

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

　I had already decided on this one.

I think we should call him Rumi.

"Is it the same name as mine?"

　Rumi was a bit puzzled. I wonder if that hadn't entered into his thinking.

"She's a daughter of royal blood, after all. She should be named after a child of royalty. But I'd be in awe if I used the name of a former princess. Even I would consider it disrespectful. Then what is left for a royal girl's name that no one will say anything about?"

　Rumi laughed merrily.

"That's right. No one will complain when I name my daughter after myself."

"Yes. And, I confess, I'm not very good at naming things. ....... For my daughter, I like to name her the same as my wife's ......."

　When I had a daughter named Raviara, I named her Raviara. It is not the name of a commoner anywhere. It will be a name that will remain in history, so we can't give it to them easily.

"And I know of other cases where people have named their daughters very badly. I don't want to follow in their footsteps."

　Rumi looked like he had no idea what was going on. That's the right response, because there's no way he could have known.

　--Is that a dig at me?

　Oda Nobunaga said in a disgusted voice.

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

　That's right. He would have named his daughter "Dog" or something like that. Maybe it had a magical meaning, but why would he name his daughter "Dog"?

　--In my country, people rarely called their daughters by their real names. In my country, we rarely called our daughters by their real names. Also, boys were given strange names, but they were childhood names. When they reach adulthood, they are given proper names.

　The values of names are quite different from those in Oda Nobunaga's world, but even so, no one would have given a dog a name.

　--Well, that's true.

　Then there's something wrong with his sense. It's not a question of taste. He knows it's wrong.

　Anyway, I wouldn't dare name my daughter Dog. And if I named her after the king's sister, I'd be considered a traitor.

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

　--Yes, you're right. She should be named Rumi.

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

　Oda Nobunaga easily agreed.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I can do it.

　At that time, Hayama came to me every day.

　The reason was obvious. To check the wartime situation in detail.

　However, the really important information came from the Bugle. This is more accurate.

　Mistletoe came to my room that night. Mistletoe's presence in person must mean that there was some movement in the war.

He said, "You can talk. Speak up...rather, speak eloquently."

"The war has come to a head. The royal army and Viscount Kark's former faction have clashed at last. I think the Kings have about twice as many men.

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

"It should be. The enemy has 10,000 men and the royal army has a little over 20,000.

"So, as for the situation of the battle, the enemy's defense is strong and the royal army is unable to attack. They are attacking several forts, but there are few generals who are familiar with siege warfare.

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

　That sounds very plausible. If they clash on the plains, but when it comes to taking down a fortress, it can't be just about numbers. A general's judgment is needed.
