　During the reign of Rumi I, I completely eliminated the insurgents in the country in about two years.

　It was a slow process, but what I did was nothing less than work. There is no one in the country who has the power to defeat me anyway.

　But it was not that I was not busy. There were many decisions to be made.

"We should not move it carelessly," he said.

　Yes, Kerala insists clearly.

　Raviara immediately stands up and replies.

"No!　It should be moved to Maust!　Because Mr. Arsrod's castle is in Maust, not in the current royal capital!　Maust should be the capital and this should be the sub-capital!"

　At the meeting, there was an ongoing debate about which of the two should be the new capital.

"Mr. Raviara, if we move the capital, there will be chaos. It is dangerous to take measures that will increase hostility.

"The lords of the land have already submitted to Lords Arsrod and Rumi. It won't make much difference where they take King's Landing now. The merchants have already moved to Maust!

　Both have a point. Rumi and I were sitting next to each other, watching the discussion and laughing.

"What do you think, Your Majesty? I ask.

"Well, what do you think, Serafina?"

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

"I don't care either way. I think that the Regent should be made king as soon as possible, with the Regent as co-ruler.

　Serafina said in a mischievous tone.

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

"Serafina, we will discuss this another time.

　What can I say, he's not a distortion .......

"So, then, Fleur, what do you think should happen to King's Landing?"

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

　Rumi, as the rightful wife, asked the opinion of each of the side wives in turn.

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

　Fleur bowed and then took her seat. Her expression is softer than before, when she had been in constant strife, but she still maintains an imposing attitude in the political arena. She does not look like the wife of a regent.

"The current size of the capital cannot withstand future city planning. We need more land. We should move to Maust.

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

　Raviara looks at me like I've seen it all.

"And now, Mr. Jahnhahn, as a merchant, what are your thoughts on this?"

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

Merchants naturally move in the direction of profit. On top of that, there are many who are looking for Maust as a new place to do business, and there are also those who are ready to put down roots if they think they can make it in the current capital. Please feel free to do so.

　When Jahnhahn finished his hearing, he took the liberty of drinking the tea that had been prepared for him. It was a loose space for the king's presence.

"Thank you very much. What do you think of Tarsha Machar, Count of the Frontier?

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

Maust is closer to my land. All the people of the North welcome the transfer of the capital.

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

　It is a very rude thing to say in front of Rumi, the king, but he knows that and has invited us here.

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

　The momentum is now leaning in favor of the transfer of the capital.

What do you think, Yucca?

　Yucca looked around and then replied emphatically, "I support the Maust faction, which is outnumbered ......."

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

　In a way, it was the right thing to do.

"Thank you all for your opinions. I think the final decision should be made by His Majesty the Emperor.

　I glance at Rumi's profile.

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

　My inner profession said something else I don't understand.

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

　--Nanto. Like Nara in Kyoto.

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

　If there's a precedent for it in Oda Nobunaga's world, we can do it.

　And when the move to the new capital of Maust began to settle down...

　I was chosen by Rumi to be his co-ruler in the midst of a crowd of vassals.

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

　That means I am king at last. King of Thirlwil, to be exact.

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

"From now on, you will help me not only as my husband, but also as a king in the same position."

　I kissed the back of Rumi's hand in pledge.

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

　A year later, Rumi was about to give birth to his second child, so he abdicated, leaving me alone as king.

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

　Later historians will debate whether to regard that as the founding of a new dynasty or the beginning of a new dynasty when I became Rumi's co-ruler.

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

　Well, it doesn't matter.

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

　I am definitely the king now.

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

　A few days after I became king, I visited Serafina's room at night.

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

　Laviala and Altia were already there.

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

Althea greeted me in a joking tone: "Your Majesty, you're so loud".

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

Please don't do that. You don't know what you've come here for.

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

But what's the use of being king if you don't act like one?

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

　Serafina, as hostess of the room, prepares tea while making light remarks.

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

"Mr. Arsrod, you have finally done it. Raviara is very happy too!

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

　Laviala hugged me in public, and I patted her head. But I thought that she was hugging me as a big sister.

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

"But isn't there still something important to do?"

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

"If Rumi's next child is a boy and continues on the throne, it might be treated as a continuation of the same dynasty."

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

　Oh, you mean the next king.

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

　Yes, the name of the dynasty may change if the next king is my firstborn, Serafina's child, or Rumi's child. That would be a big problem if there was a war for the throne.

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

　I couldn't help laughing.

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

"What's wrong with you?"

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

"No, I just thought it would be nice to still have a job and not get bored."

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

　I prefer a peaceful country, but I also don't want it to be uninspired. People like me probably don't belong in an age of peace.

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

I'd rather build a new temple.

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

"Brother, you are too optimistic."

　Altia warned me that you are much younger because of the guy you are going to worship in that temple.

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

"I will prepare a temple for the god Odanobunaga, which is my profession. It's going to look rather odd, but I have the blueprints."

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

　I've got it in my head that it should be something like Azuchi Castle.

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

　As the construction of the Oda Nobunaga Temple was about to begin, Rumi gave birth to their second child. This child was a boy.

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

　This is a problem for the next king, but so be it. I'll do my best to address that issue.
