A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

195 – Extreme Experience Lemberi (4)

From noble mtl dot come

As Naria often does to me, I also asked the Habsburg Emperor to ‘do it’.

‘This is my first time saying this directly.’

When it comes to requests, requests, etc., Politics is about making demands in a roundabout way.

If you say it directly, it has the potential to quickly turn into a favor, and anything must be done indirectly to escape from a direct stakeholder relationship.

‘But if the benefit is greater, I should do it.’

Noir’s mental care.

If, as a result, Beast Noir disappears and only human Noir remains, that alone is a sufficient benefit to me.

“Wednesday. Please take care of Noir.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

Mainly for my mental health.

“Brother… “

“It is not the time to be so happy. Responsibility carries a certain weight, and I do not know what the emperor’s intentions are.”

Noir looks at me like he owns the whole world, but I’m not sure what choice the Emperor will make.

“A second princess may be born, or she may have a subtle nuance. Maybe she will reject my request.”

“It’s my brother’s request?”

“If everything I asked for was done, Saint Geo Nostrum wouldn’t be acting like he is now.”

“Ah.”

There is only one case where a request will work.

Mother’s request.

And that person must be the father.

“Noir. Remember, nothing is free in this world. Especially in politics, it all becomes debt and comes back as karma.”

“Uhm…”

“If the emperor grants this request, I must grant the emperor’s request in the future. Especially if it is a request that I can accept.”

“Brother… “

“I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

Noir flinched for a moment.

Just like a dog that is happy when it hears the word ‘walk’, it is a bit unfortunate that it reflexively gets scared as soon as it hears the word ‘disappointment’ –

‘I’m telling you this because I really don’t want to disappoint you.’

If I am greatly disappointed by this incident, it is also true that I will lower my expectations for Noir in many ways in the future.

‘I wish the emperor would just refuse it because it would be difficult because of the political burden.’

It is better than having strange variables.

If you don’t want the situation to get complicated, if you don’t want variables to appear, it’s right not to pursue any changes.

If you don’t do anything and just let things go by.

What if Noir and Wednesday just endure it, ignore what others say and push away the women who keep clinging to them?

‘Maybe I can look forward to it.’

It will largely depend on the emperor’s choice, but Noir has shown a lot so far.

Maybe we can look forward to it a little.

“Rest comfortably. When Astasia comes in a little while, the four of us can have a quiet meal.”

“From here?”

“Four of us?”

“It’s refreshing to see the completely different reactions from people in the kingdom and people in the empire.”

Nostrum people who have no concept of eating on a train look for a table, and people with that concept are interested in the composition of the people eating.

“Yes, the four of us. But the place is not here.”

“So you’re eating next to the students, so you’re eating together?” Uh… “

Noir perked up his ears and pointed outside.

“The students seem to be having a hard time right now, and more than anything, if they are following the knights’ training…”

“I didn’t have time to eat lunch properly.”

I lightly sipped the well-brewed somnus tea.

“Among the students, how many of them have lived on the streets? How many of them have ever set up military barracks in the first place?”

I tried noir.

His father not only taught him the sword, but also taught him the various skills of a knight.

‘It’s not me, but knights like Sir Carlos.’

The person who trained Noir is currently in this camp.

By now, they’re probably pecking hard at the students, similar to other knights.

Correct the expression.

The expression ‘pecking’ is a dirty word that only applies to people from Saint Geo and the Knights of the Golden Dawn.

“In terms of time, each team would have created a temporary camp by now using the materials provided. We also ate.”

The norm would be to ‘act in accordance with principles and order.’

“Noir. “What did you eat when you were training at camp with the trainee knights?”

“Uh, um… “

Just thinking about Noir distorted his expression as if he was disgusted.

“…Beef jerky and dried fruit?”

“That’s right.”

This is Lembury.

“No matter how extreme the experience, not feeding children properly at the age when they are growing up is a serious problem.”

A hotbed of corruption, a place where all the worst situations imaginable can occur.

“There is a restaurant, but I don’t know if the menu will be properly prepared.”

“…Brother?”

“It’s nothing special.”

It’s really not that big of a deal.

“There was record-breaking rain near Lembury yesterday.”

“…”

“Well, since they received a huge budget, they must have prepared for everything on their own.”

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay.”

Even if incompetence and corruption are rampant, countermeasures are in place for all situations.

“I have to feed them.”

Lembury Camp Day 1, 11:57 a.M.

Shouting is heard among those gathered in a large wooden building a little away from the camp site.

“What do you mean!”

“Well, that’s…! At least 30 minutes to prepare a meal…!”

“30 minutes, why!!”

“Well, that’s…!”

Viscount Balzac, a tall old man with narrow eyes, shouted at the servants in charge of preparing the meal.

While the chef in charge of meal-related work was being harshly reprimanded, the other employees behind him were contemplating the food and looking around at the ingredients as they cooked.

No.

It was safe to say that it was not cooking, but a ‘work’.

I was busy filtering out the wilted vegetables, trimming the parts that could be saved, and smelling the meat and checking its color one more time before cutting it.

“Well, that is…! Viscount! We are doing our best right now!”

“Do your best! Students will soon start arriving one by one!”

“Well, which ‘team’ are you coming from…?”

The chef’s voice trembled like an aspen, but underneath the trembling was resentment.

“Is it true that they are coming from ‘nobles’…?”

“Ugh…!”

Originally.

The meal order was all set, the list was set, and the appropriate ingredients were prepared.

That changed in an instant.

From the moment President Winchester became Master Winchester, leader of the Drake Knights, and cut the banner, everything became mixed up.

“Well, if the nobles have an upset stomach… !”

“Don’t be unlucky! The preparation was perfect!!”

It was perfect.

It has to be perfect.

Otherwise, responsibility for national projects, even if small-scale, will fall on one person.

The ingredients were prepared according to the quantity.

It’s just that the ingredients were divided to the point where it was close to perfection.

The highest quality beef is now entering the mouths of commoner students, and meat marinated in seasoning that was thought to be of low quality and would soon be put to rest is now entering the mouths of nobles.

“Use as much as you can until the ingredients arrive from your own warehouse!”

“What’s going on?”

“Well, that’s…!”

Near the dining hall, a driver who led a group of students approached and asked.

“Sir Kyton…!”

“Hmm.”

Unfortunately, a dragon knight from the Knights of the Black Rose, who was difficult to deal with from the beginning, appeared.

They are also reasonably similar in age, and are marquises.

“I heard that the team that set up the military barracks was the first to eat.”

“Well, have you already finished the installation?”

“Competent students became leaders and installed it quickly.”

Knight Kyton pointed behind.

Among them, a student who looked like a commoner was smiling humbly, and next to him, an international student who was said to be from an empire was explaining something intently with a slightly tired face.

And after that.

People who appear to be ‘ordinary’ students look up to the two people as if they were heroes.

“Those students…?”

“Ah. They all know. Student Zarman said he learned how to set up a tent while working as a hunter in his hometown, and Mandesar, an imperial student, said he learned it at the imperial boy training camp.”

“S-No way…?”

“It’s a mock military training, so some students may have learned something depending on the environment. They were good at it.”

A skill that a knight of the Black Rose Order would nod and acknowledge.

If it weren’t for that, it would have taken more time to prepare the food-

“Why are you doing this, Viscount? Something doesn’t look right on your face.”

“…It’s not a big deal. There is a slight problem with preparing ingredients, but there will be no disruption to the schedule.”

“Yes. There shouldn’t be any setbacks.”

Knight Kaiton pointed beyond the forest path.

“I don’t know anything else, but the students are working so hard to set up tents, so where can they be if they can’t even eat properly?”

“…”

“It’s lucky if you don’t get sick after eating.”

* * *

‘Is it soon time for the first team to enter?’

The team led by those with experience setting up tents will go to the restaurant one by one to eat.

It must be difficult to go through all the hardships and hardships of setting up a campsite, but there are probably a lot of people who express mental fatigue as it is not the camp they had imagined.

“Brother.”

“Why?”

“Well, the person who should have been on our team originally…”

“Princess Naria.”

Noir, who was just about to eat the sandwich he had prepared in his lunch box, froze.

“So, then Princess Naria is pitching a tent by herself?”

“That’s right.”

“…”

“Astasia and Wednesday are here, but have you lost track of where the other one went?”

“Uh, well, that is…”

“It’s okay. It’s what you wanted.”

While Noir and Wednesday said they would enjoy preferential treatment, Naria chose to give up the preferential treatment and become equal with others.

“By now, you are probably setting up your own team’s tent and helping others.”

“Aren’t the tents separate for men and women?”

“If you know how and follow the procedures, a tent can be erected quickly. There is nothing you can’t do on your own.”

Nari is not one to be confused about how to do things, and she has enough stamina to open two tents.

“Noir. People, if the place to lie down is uncomfortable, everything becomes unpleasant and uncomfortable.”

“Isn’t that the opposite of saying that everything is comfortable only when the bed is comfortable?”

“That’s right. The tent that Princess Lia unfolds will be very soft. Regardless of the quality of the tent, before Naria unfolds the tent, she will first start by leveling the ground.”

Horok.

“Alone.”

“…”

“From the moment you chose Wednesday, you already gave up being a nobleman for a princess.”

“Brother, if you just go and help right now… “

“Sit down. It’s already late.”

The train has already left.

“The princess said she would personally check out those who are loyal to her at the camp, so we should leave them alone.”

“…”

“Shouldn’t you serve the princess you serve, not Princess Naria?”

“Uh, uh, that’s…”

“The choice is made. While you are sitting here eating the sandwich I prepared, Princess Naria is holding a hammer and setting up a tent by herself… “

Hello.

“I guess I’m eating alone.”

Anything.

Alone.

‘It’s where I wanted to be, though.’

Horok.

“Hey, bro. As expected…”

“You’re going to take care of your princess?”

“But, that…! Ho, are you angry…?”

“Angry? Me? That’s not possible. There’s no way I could be angry about something like this.”

If you say you left Astasia alone, I’ll kick you right away.

“Princess Naria will do just fine on her own, so all you have to do is sit there on a comfortable cushion and leisurely watch the students’ military training. While eating the ice cream that Wednesday feeds you.”

“…”

“What’s wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?”

“…”
