In the Kingdom of Esfort, most of the nobles were gathered to explain the situation this time.
　The royal castle was very busy to receive the nobles. Basically, all the nobles had been summoned, and if they couldn't go to the royal capital due to some problem, a substitute had to ascend the castle.

　In the midst of all this, Cain had visited the church.
　To hear about Corzino, who had become an apostle of an evil god.
　He kneeled before the seven pillars, folded his hands and prayed, and as usual, his vision turned to the world of the white God.

　Xenom then urged Cain to take a seat.
　But today's gods had a different reluctant look on their faces than usual.
　It was probably because Cain was going to face Aaron.

'...... Cain, I've been watching you. First of all, thank you. I didn't expect Aaron to have regained consciousness. ......

　Xenom bowed his head lightly.

'I was close enough to deal with it this time, but is this the other ......?'

　Xenom nodded in response to Cain's question.

'Aaron was sealed in a number of jewel shards when he was sealed, and they are hidden in various places. You saw them in the depths of a dungeon near your city.

　Cain remembered the Ancient Dragon he met once when he was stressed and went to a dungeon in the Drintle Forest.
(Come to think of it, you said it was sealing something: ......)

Yes, they are scattered and sealed throughout the world, just like in the dungeon. However, there are some things that have been unearthed and taken away in some people's hands. That's one of them.

There may be more of the same in the future: ......
It's sealed, but there's still a chance that he'll be seduced by the jewel. What happens when you get that power is up to you. ...... I just don't want it to fall into the wrong hands.
'I understand. If you do, I'll take care of that for you at .......
Come on, Cain.

　After returning to the church, Cain gets into the carriage and heads to the royal castle.
　From now on, the nobles would be briefed on this time. That's how big the Marquis of Corzino's plan was.
　And it also included the meaning of dismantling that faction.

　Since Cain was a senior nobleman, the rank of count, when he entered the hall, the lower nobles, from the viscount on down, were already waiting inside.
　No matter how much Cain was a child who hadn't yet reached adulthood, he couldn't call out to them from the lower nobles.

''Lord Silford, it's been a while, hasn't it?

　Such a voice called out to Cain.
　Turning around, Cain's cheeks loosened at the sight of his face.

''It's been a while,--Sir Santos.

　It was Viscount Geretta, Sarah's father and Cain's grandfather.

''I didn't know all these nobles would be here ....... What's going on? ......

　Cain knows what happened, but he has been tight-lipped about the content of the matter, saying it shouldn't be discussed here.
　Moreover, Cain was not in touch with the negotiations with the Ilstin Republic at all, nor did he know what happened.

'I'm sure there will be an explanation later: ....... As you can imagine, it's a spectacular sight to see so many people together.
Hmm, yes. I'm sorry to stop you. I'll talk to you again when I have time.
Yes. I'd love to be there.

　Cain bowed lightly and moved to where he stood.

　The nobles are all present and the king's signal to leave echoes through the hall.
　They all stood up from their seats and put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads.
　Then the king appeared and slowly sat down on his throne.

"At ease, gentlemen.

　With those words, he raised his head and took a seat.

''This time I had to explain to everyone. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to travel to the royal capital. Magna, please.

　At the king's words, Prime Minister Magna held the documents at hand and began to explain.

　The contents were so shocking that the aristocrats in attendance shouted loudly.
　The Marquis Corzino had planned and caused the attack during the Royal Academy's training of the Istin Republic.
　And the disturbing act by the Marquis Corzino himself.
　In addition, the assault was carried out in collusion with a former member of the Republic of Iilstin and the Dark Guild, as well as by the kingdom's own soldiers from the city of Terenza.
　Those attacked included the third princess, Telestia, as well as many sons of nobles, and Cain's name came up.

　He ends his explanation by saying that all of those incidents were solved due to the activities by Cain.
　After finishing his explanation, Prime Minister Magna dropped and Duke Eric stepped forward in his place.

''Then I will explain the negotiations with the Ilstin Republic. First of all - the transfer of territory has been decided. Part of the territory on the Esfort Kingdom side of the Illustin Republic was to be transferred to the kingdom. And ----.

　In the negotiations with the Republic of Illustin, it's the transfer of territory and the payment of reparations.
　As for the reparations, they are orders of magnitude different from the reparations Cain received for the attack on the city.

　The reparations are ten thousand white gold coins, or 100 billion yen in Japanese yen.

　However, it is impossible to pay that kind of money all at once. If we paid it all at once, the country would be bankrupt.
　Payments from the Republic of Istin were to be made over ten years.
　Honestly, there is no damage here at all.
　However, the royal family of the kingdom, the aristocratic head Cain, and the sons of the nobles were all attacked, including the sons of the nobles.

''Shall we go to war?''

　It was the same as saying so.
　Duke Eric finished his explanation.

'For the last time. Magna, please explain.

　Again, Prime Minister Magna came out.

'-- Cain von Silford Drintle, Earl of Drintle, before.

　Suddenly, Cain is appalled at being called, but he goes before the king and kneels down and bows his head.

'Cain von Silford Drintle, here.

Give me your face.

　Cain looked up at the king's words.
　The king's face wore a smile, as if he was planning something, and then Cain felt uneasy.

'You have done a splendid job on this occasion. I don't know what I would have done without you - including my daughter. And I'm sorry to deal with Corzino: ....... Magna, explain to me.

Yes, Your Majesty. "Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Silford, for this achievement, I hereby elevate you to the rank of frontier earl. And you shall rule over the city of Terenza and the lands newly granted to you by our country.

(Was this what Her Majesty was after: ......)

---- Cain von Silford Drintle, I will surely serve for the prosperity of the kingdom.

　But there will always be voices of opposition. Even though the Marquis of Corzino is gone, there is still that faction as well.

''Wait a moment. It was explained to me that this attack on the Republic of Illustin and Lord Corzino's turbulence were contemporaneous. And that it was both subdued by Lord Silford: ....... Isn't that strange by any stretch of the imagination: ....... Even considering the distance.

　I'm sure all the nobles in attendance would have thought so.
　The only people who knew were the nobles who knew that Cain could use transference magic.
　However, this had already been discussed.
　Inevitably, there would be a contradiction in the explanation of the incident. So he had received an explanation from Magna beforehand.

　He announced that only once a day, he could use his enormous magical power to make a transition. And .......

　It's also why the kingdom gives so much importance to Cain, who is still a minor.
　It is so important that Telestia, Silk, and Tijuana all marry into the kingdom.
　That's why transference magic is considered a legend.

I'll tell you about it. I'll tell you about it first. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this. Is that right ......?

　The king's words leave everyone in attendance - speechless.
　Legendary transfer magic. It is a magic that is said to have been used by Yuya, the king and brave man of the first Esfort Kingdom.

'---- Lord Silford is ...... maybe ...... a brave man. ......?

　Even the nobleman who objected cleared his throat when he saw the king's face.
　But the king shook his head at his words.

''That's not true. It is said that the first king was summoned from another world. It is said that the first king was summoned from another world, and that Lord Silford there was the son of Lord Garum.

Even so, the Silford family will still be responsible for all the defense of this Esfort Kingdom.

　Cain thought that too. The only person in the Esfort Kingdom who currently calls himself 'Count of the Frontier' is his father, Garum.
　A frontier earl is a frontier earl that has its own army and can fight the enemy country at will.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
　The Kingdom of Esfort is surrounded by the Republic of Illustin to the northeast, the Byssus Empire to the west, and the Marineford Faith to the southeast.
　If you place a frontier count facing the Marineford Church State, that would be a problem.
　And until now, they were primarily trading with the Illustin Republic and hadn't placed them there without a history of fighting.
　But with this case, we have expanded the territory of the kingdom and we need to protect it.

　But that doesn't mean that everything should be left to the Silford family.
　If the Silford family revolts ....... 'Yes, everyone would fear that.

'I have no problem with that. Sir Silford will have my daughter, Telestia, as his bride. And I have been given the eldest daughter of House Silford, Mistress Raine ---- to be the new Second Prince Roland's rightful wife.

Yeah!

　The king's words caused Cain to scream in astonishment.
