　I've sent an official messenger to King's Landing. But it's not to congratulate you on your reign. It's an interrogator.

　I have heard of a plan to attack Regent Arsrod in alliance with the former king in the Gigantic Isles.

　It is not a good idea to go on the offensive at once. It would make us look bad. It is better to have a good cause if you can get it. That's what I say in my profession.

　Don't do anything that goes against the path of heaven--that's what Oda Nobunaga says.

　In this case, the Way of Heaven is like the Supreme Being. In Odanobunaga's world, the Supreme Being is supposed to be ambiguous, but it seems that the concept of "Tendou" was created when such a concept became necessary.

　--The Tendō could not be interpreted as a supreme deity, and there were many who thought so, but it makes no sense if you take it that way. It is a trick.

　Oda Nobunaga has come into the story again. He must be busy in his profession. I think it must be unfortunate that he has no one to talk to but me, if you think about it. It would have been much more interesting if I had even one aider and abettor to listen to my boastful talk.

　--The true identity of the Way of Heaven is nothing sacred. It's a publicity stunt. It's the sum total of the people's feelings. It's not sacred, it's mundane.

　I know what you mean. I know, but it's ironic that a man who wants to be king should care about the world's opinion instead of taking the high road.

　--Don't say that. No one will follow those who have been abandoned by the world. I have tried to be careful, but I was wrong. The world has grown too close to me, and I have lost sight of the little things.

　I can understand what Oda Nobunaga means when he talks so much.

　This is where I'm at the end of my rope.

　That's why I even sent a messenger to King's Landing to question Hasse. It's not a nice role for a messenger. Worst case scenario, they might even kill him.

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

　It's a bad thing, but if the messenger is harmed, then Tendou will smile on my side. Or, I should say, Tendou will turn his face away from Hasse.

No, I should say that Tendou will turn his face away from Hasse.

　And it was the day the messenger would return in the shortest possible time.

　Whatever the answer is, I am nervous too. That's why I drank many cups of tea in my temporary residence in the castle of Yagmouri.

　I don't think they will declare war on us by impeaching us for rebellion, but I still have no idea what Hasse will do.

　Raviara came running into my room.

"Excuse me, Mr. Arsrod!"

"That's not something you should say until after you've entered. So, what's this all about?

"While we're at it, let's bring the mistresses here from Maust Castle!　It's not too late!"

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

　Yeah, I see your point. Bringing my wife to safety before King's Landing cuts me off is a decent move in itself. It could have been proposed.

　At this rate, he's probably not going to sit still and come to me for advice. For Raviara, it is understandable that he is worried because he has a stronger connection with his wife than other military officers.

　However, he cannot just accept the situation as it is.

"Raviara, if I bring my wives to the Yagmouri castle now, they will say that this is a strong proof that I am planning a rebellion.

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

　Bringing wives and children to oneself is a move made by generals before rebellion in all ages. There is no clearer proof than that.

"I understand. But you are all in danger if you do not ......"

　I put my index finger on Laviala's lips.

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

　It's a sign to shut up.

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

　It's a gesture I would do to my wife rather than to my subjects. I quickly remove my finger.

"If my wife leaves the castle of Maust, she could be targeted..."

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

　Raviara's face becomes flushed.

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

"Compared to the outside, the castle of Maust is still better. Of course, it's not as safe as it seems.

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

"Yes. ....... If the king is already planning to attack Mr. Arsrod, then the castle of Maust is also on alert. ......"

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

　I nodded and replied.

"We're still in the waiting phase. This is the worst time of all. It's much easier to understand and to separate the two when you're on the battlefield."

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

　I took a cup of tea for Raviara myself.

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

"Ah!　Raviara will take care of that!"

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

"I don't care. I'm just making my wife some tea. Have a drink and relax. It's still early in the morning. Tea's better than booze.

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

　Raviara drank some hot tea and sighed. Warmth calms me down. Jahnhahn said the same thing. Tea was originally meant to be a medicinal drink.

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

"I'm sorry for my earlier disturbance. Raviara is also worried about you all. ....... Especially Serafina and Fleur ......."

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

"I know. I'll do my best. I'll do my best. I'll do my best as well as I can to build my kingdom.

　A knock sounded impatiently at my location. This must be one of my close associates. I can tell by the sound.

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

"It's okay. Come in."

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

　A close associate rushed in immediately. It is safe to assume that the messenger has returned.

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

　But his reply was unexpected.

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

"I am telling you!　Her Imperial Highness, the Princess Rumi, is here to see you!"

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

"What?　Rumi?"

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

"He wants to see you right away!　May I welcome you to the house?"

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

　I could barely say, "Let me through."
