A formal peace treaty was signed promptly after the war ended.

　First, King Domorgal's country.
　King Domorgar's country surrendered early, so the reparations were minimal, and he only had to cede a small amount of northern territory to the Kingdom of Roselle.
　The land did not become a battlefield, and the country's power did not decline.

　However, there were some changes to the peace treaty signed with Almus.

　Of the 500 tarangs of compensation, 200 tarangs were to be paid immediately and the remaining 300 tarangs were to be paid in ten-year installments.

　In the formal treaty with the Roselle Kingdom, instead of increasing the reparations to eight hundred tarrant, it was to be paid in twenty-year installments.

　It was Carlo who proposed this.

　Instead of paying a large sum of money in a lump sum, even if the total amount increased, the burden would be reduced by paying in installments.
　Besides, if the installment payment period was extended, the Kingdom of Romalia would not be able to touch King Domorgal's country because of the increase in the total amount.

　This was the idea.

　I'm not good at winning, but I'm good at handling a loss.
　Almus said with a wry smile, describing Carlo as such.

　Next was King Gilbed's country.
　The Dauphin and King of King Gilbed's country were captured and deported to Rosais, which transferred the throne to the second prince.
　However, it was the Kingdom of Roselle that objected here.

　Roselle wanted to establish a puppet state as a buffer between the Kingdom of Roselle and the Kingdom of Romalia, with the fourth prince as the next Gilbed king.

　As a result of consultations between the Kingdom of Romalia and the Kingdom of Roselle, the crown of King Gilbed's kingdom was divided into two parts.

　The North Gilbed King's country was established as a puppet state for the Kingdom of Roselle.
　The fourth prince ascended the throne as king.

　On the other hand, the second prince........
　The capital of King Gilbed's country was not returned to him.

　This was because he did not formally declare his surrender until the victory of the Kingdom of Romalia was confirmed.
　Nevertheless, it was significant that the second prince did not move his troops and remained quiet.

　Almus had the second prince's estate and the surrounding great families create the country of the King of South Gilbed, which was then admitted into the Commonwealth of Romalia.

　It was not a puppet state, but autonomous.
　But it was forbidden to own an army.

　But with no reparations, no need to spend money on military affairs, and the surprisingly good domestic skills of the second prince, South Gilbet's country remained a major force in the federation until the dissolution of the federation.

　Finally, the Kingdom of King Fardham.
　The Kingdom of Roselle occupied the northern territories of King Fardam's country, but the Kingdom of Romalia, in accordance with the agreement it had made with King Fardam, had it returned to the Kingdom of Roselle.
　However, it was not able to return all of it, and its important strategic strongholds remained unclaimed.

　In return for this, King Fardame's kingdom was founded in North Gilbed.

　It was decided that King Fardam's country would pay the Kingdom of Romalia 1,000 Tarrant in 20-year installments.

　This was also at the request of King Fardam himself, as well as Carlo.
　The security of King Fardam's kingdom was promised for at least twenty years.


　Thus, the southern half of the Adelian peninsula was politically united by the Kingdom of Romalia.
　This meant that the Adelian peninsula was divided into two kingdoms: the Kingdom of Roselle in the north and the Kingdom of Romalia in the south.

　And this meant the birth of a new international order in the world around the Teutonic Sea.

　In the last few decades, the international situation around the Teutonic Sea has changed rapidly.

　Pofenia was once the hegemon of the Western Teutis Sea.
　And the Cilician cities as the champions of the Eastern Teutis Sea.
　On the northern continent, the Kingdom of Roselle, an army power.
　And from the far east, the Empire of Persis watches over it.

　This was destroyed by the Persians' conquest of Cilicia.
　As the hegemony of the entire Teutonic Sea, Pofenia rapidly increased its power, and as if caught in the crossfire, the kingdom of Rozelle moved southward from the north.

　In a ball-busting fashion, the Adelian countries of the southern Adelian peninsula moved south, stimulated by........
　A hero was born.
　And in no time at all, he conquered the southern half of the Adelian peninsula and built a great power in the Tethys Sea.

　Well......
　The flow of history is unstoppable.

　The previously stable order has collapsed.
　It will take a long, long time for a new order to be built.

　It will take hundreds of years.
　A babyish nation founded by a single hero.....

　After overcoming several civil wars, and with the help of its armed forces, the entire Teutonic Sea was brought under its control until peace (Pax) was achieved.
　The Teutonic Sea will have a long, long period of warfare.

　However, no one understands that now....
　Even the heroes in the middle of the war didn't understand, though.





　''It's over........''
　It's over....　

　Me and Raimondo looked at the beautiful garden of the palace with a dumbfounded look on our faces.
　The season was already May.
　Three months have already passed since that war.

　As a tradition of the end of the war, it is still a rebellion in the occupied territories, or a defeated soldier turned into a wildebeest, and the chaos continues, but Bartolo and Alexios are crushing it from one side to the other, so it will go away soon.

　In the garden, my oldest son Anx (Tetrachos) and oldest daughter Fiona (Juliako), who is seven years old by my count, are playing with my second son Marcus (Juliako), my second daughter Sophia (Juliako) and my third daughter Flora (Tetrachos), who is three years old.

　Ankus and Fiona are smiling as they feel like big brothers and big sister.

　'Father!　Look at that!
　What's going on?

　Fiona smiles at me and runs over to me, smiling at me.
　She holds a ring made of flowers in her hand.

　'Here's a present for your father!'
　Okay, well, why don't you hang it over my head?

　I held out my head, and Fiona stood on tiptoe and placed a loop on my head.
　Lately, I've started wearing this thing called the Great King's Crown, but honestly, this one is lighter and easier.

　I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to get this one again.

　No, it's too cute, indeed.

　"Thanks, Fiona.

　I stroke Fiona's head and then adjust my gaze to Fiona's height.

　'But you know what, Fiona? The gardeners work very hard to take care of the flowers here in the garden. From now on, you don't pick them without permission, do you understand?
　'Yes!　I understand!

　Fiona smiled, looking like she didn't understand much.
　Hmmm ... well, okay.

　It's my garden, even though it's being maintained by a gardener.
　After thinking about such things, I suddenly think.

　Who taught this circle?

　Julia?　
　It's impossible.

　There's no way Julia, who loves drugs and herbs, could do something as maidenly as making a circle with flowers.
　No, she might be able to do it, but I wouldn't teach her.
　If I had the time to teach her that, I would be teaching her how to make drugs.

　Tetra?
　It couldn't be more.

　Flowers?　Can you eat that?
　Not to say that, well, Tetra has no taste for making rings with flowers.
　She's more of a maiden than Julia, though, so she has more potential than a drug woman.

　But if Tetra had time to teach you how to make flowers, she would talk about the beauty of numbers.
　Recently, he and Nikolaos seemed to have had another fight with each other over whether they were celestial or geocentric.

　They say that they can't confirm the annual parallax or something like that.

　Tetra's Ptolemaic school of thought is far superior to Nikolaos's. I wish Nikolaos the best of luck.
　I hope Nikolaos will do his best.

　I'm not surprised that the earth is the center of the world, since there are some things I don't really understand, such as magic.

　It's a good thing that Nikolaos has the guts to argue with a queen, even if she is a member of the family.
　That's my girl!

　I digress.

　The last possibility is Alice.
　Probably, if it's mental girl power, there's more than ten deviations compared to Yuria and Tetra, so it's possible that she could make a flower circle.

　However, it's a mystery whether Alice, who's always sticking around in the heavens to protect me, really has the time to teach me how to make a flower.
　Unless she's mastered the multi-layered shadow alter ego, though.

　If you go that far, you are not a ninja, but a NINJA.

　Yeah, I don't know.
　Okay, let's hear it.

　"Where did you learn that?　
　'Ummm...'

　To sum up what the faltering Fiona is saying....
　What a surprise, he learned it from a girl who had come from various cities in Cilicia as a hostage.

　After listening carefully, it seems that they have friendships with the children of King Belvedere's country, King Evil's country, children of other great families and nobles, children of influential merchants, and other children who have come to Los Angeles for various reasons such as their parents' business or as hostages.

　Well, I certainly don't constrain Fiona's actions.
　

　It's a good kid, much more mature and good than Yuria, who comes to the forest without permission, since she goes out with proper permission.

　So she seems to have a lot of friends.
　It's not like some purple-haired drug-mixing enthusiast, he seems to have a lot of friends.

　That's quite something.

　'Anx!　
　'Yes, sir?　Father.

　I call for Anx and he runs right over to me.
　I ask, patting Anx's head.

　'Do you have friends like Fiona does?'
　Yes, I'm here!

　They say he's there.
　He is quite a commie, even though he is my child.

　I want to make the mother who is arguing about the celestial motion theory and the geocentric theory debate drink the nail polish from a roast.

　''Uh ... no, sir?''
　Well they're all good people...

　Fiona and Anx look at me with worried faces.
　Don't play with those hostage kids!

　Don't worry, I won't tell you. Just make sure you have a bodyguard. And, if you're lucky, you're my son who wins, and she's my loser's son. So watch what you say and what you do.

　I patted them both on the head.
