Indeed, the goddess granted the wish of a humble servant.

The next day, a diplomatic statement was issued in the Habsburg Republic.

The diplomatic document lists words that are not dry. It was a typical, dull sentence crawling around. If we eliminated the useless oil and chose only one voice and one content, we could simply summarize, "The Habsburg Empire is an architect of the world.”

It was surprisingly concise.

Why do people cut the core with all kinds of languages and decorations? Maybe he's deliberately trying to make it unidentifiable. My enthusiasm is rotten.

Although I felt lightly gratified and sad in the world where cosmetics were treated more than natural beauty, it seemed like I was the only one who felt deeply sorry for this situation. The statement of the Republic of Habsburg was accepted in a foreign country without much blame.

Laura looks at the situation and doubts.

“Surprisingly. I thought the Republics were isolated from the surrounding countries. ”

“It's because we have overcome. They will never want us to win. ”

I put my head on Laura's thigh.

We were lying on our beds naked. We slept together almost every day. Laura and I are already rumored to be lovers. Nothing stands in the way.

“I don't intend to stop the war from happening. However, it is not possible for one side to win unilaterally. Well, it's obvious what the surrounding countries think. ”

“I see. The Republics use tumblers. ”

Laura strokes my hair slowly like a comb. I was relieved.

“If you say it nicely, you're reading the atmosphere, and if you say it badly, you're committing yourself to clowning. The republics tell me something I can't tell them in public. The rest of the country's silence suggests a moderate willingness to cooperate…… hmm. ”

Laura put a strawberry in my mouth. It was a raspberry gathered to put into the head of Earl Fabia, the Knight Leader, and the deputy commander. There were so many pickings that there were so many of them left.

“Well, sort of. ”

“A diplomatic agreement was made implicitly to stop the empire. Is the Lord okay? ”

“It doesn't matter.”

I smiled faintly.

“There's nothing good about stopping a war in this situation for the Republic. We will ask Royal Sardinia to cease assistance with the Republic immediately, and Sardinia is not in a good position to refuse this……. ”

“Hoho. The Republics will be left to fend for themselves. ”

I rubbed Laura's ribs in a positive way. Laura grins. By the way, Laura was terribly weak to tickle. I heard it has something to do with tickling your vocal cords, but maybe it's true.

“I can think of a way out of the Republics, Laura. ”

“Hmmm. Probably trying to get a little more lucrative in the negotiations. ”

“To benefit from the negotiations during the war? ”

Laura lowers her chin and thinks.

“Victory... The Republic will want to win at least once in a battle. ”

I nodded.

“I've planted spies in the Republic. President Elizabeth is secretly summoning mercenaries with the help of Venice. three months ago. ”

“Three months ago...? We didn't even move the troops then! ”

Laura sounds surprised.

“It was when diplomacy did not begin because it was impossible. How did the Republics expect this move? ”

“The Federation of Helvetica has asked us to retaliate. Truce with Polytunia, negotiate with Tuton, take care of Frank, not Batavia. Sardinia is the only option left. It's simple logic."

Suddenly, a smile came to my mouth because it was funny.

“President Elizabeth is intelligent enough to see simple logic. Huh, you really don't betray expectations. It always cheers me up. ”

“ ……. ”

Laura glanced down at my face with blurred eyes.

“Hey... Joo. ”

“Hmm? What is it? ”

“So... ”

Laura narrows it down. Something seemed to be bothering me.

“…… hmm. It's nothing. The Republicans won't be able to join us anyways. If President Elizabeth goes to war, the Demon Lord of the Kingdom will invade the Republic immediately. It will be a bilateral war.”

“I can't do that. ”

Once again, the Demon Lord should never be used.

The sea of hope for President Elizabeth is the only way to mobilize the Horses. This war will turn into an all-out war between the Horsemen and Humans. Even the surrounding countries who have been watching silently will be standing up right now.

“The Second Flame War should be a political war by human nobles everywhere. This is what Elizabeth is saying. If you're going to invade, invade. We will perish, but the Empire will suffer in return... ”

I grew small.

“You're not exactly the woman whose liver bulged out of her belly. The republic is a country created by the president sweating blood and sweat from beginning to end. We treat that country, that precious country, like an organ horse on a chessboard. Excellent.”

“ ……. ”

Laura stares at me again, blurry eyes.

It seemed to worry me for some reason. No, I'm not worried. Concerns or confusion? …… Either way, human emotions were cut off like this and couldn't be expressed in a single word. Instead of telling her not to worry, she buries her nose in Laura's flesh.

I am confident. I have it ready. The Habsburg Republics will surely fall within the year, if not next year…….

* * *

It was only a full day after Habsburg was joined.

It wasn't a coup d 'état, to be exact. Venice and several other cities have asked the Republic, "Please protect our city." The Republic only accepted the request and took pearls to Venice.

That's 15,000 people. It consisted of mercenaries from Anatolia and Polytunia. There were far too many mercenaries needed to defend several cities. An aphorism invented to be used when blindfolded.

It was interesting that a large group of Anatolian mercenaries participated.

Now that the Franks are airborne, there are only two countries left with empires on the entire continent. Our Habsburg Empire and Anatolia across the sea…….

Have you decided that Habsburg should not become more powerful than this? Or was Elizabeth pushed from behind? Perhaps the latter. Elizabeth is fun. I always brought one unexpected trick.

“Foreigners interfering in war! Why is this happening, Marquis? ”

Of course, I personally predicted the Republic would join, but apart from that, I postponed my outrage. I summoned the Marquis of Rhodes immediately and went off the rails.

“It's not a war. Just because the Venetian Parliament is concerned about the situation.... ”

“Not a truce? Ha. So even if Piacencha-Parma's parliament requests a garrison in our Imperial Army, you won't be involved in the war? ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

“Where does a five-year-old come from with an excuse to laugh! ”

Lord Rhodes is sweating red.

For this very moment, I have never raised my voice while interviewing the Marquis. I talked calmly when I was insulted, and calmly when the atmosphere was upsetting. For the moment when the Republic will join us, I saved it as a card.

“The return has asked us to wait! Give me the time I need to negotiate! Marquis, you said so yourself. Were you planning this behind your back? Is this how we repay our respect for your return? ”

“... I have nothing to say to you, palace white. ”

The late Roddy couldn't help but feel the anger I had first witnessed. When I yelled at the whale, I couldn't figure out how to respond.

Poor guy, too. Royal Sardinia is insisting on some compromise. Duke Milan blames you for ruining the great nation in vain. Duke Florence doesn't want to go into diplomatic warfare. He wants to get ready for battle....

And I'm being blamed for being called to me and asking me why I live this way. Unfortunately.

Perhaps the Marquis of Rhodes is so unfair now that he would like to bite his tongue and kill himself. Nothing bends back like a diplomatic ambassador. You're responsible for letting the other kids take the fall.

By the way, it's my hobby to make the poor more pitiful.

“It was a duel between House Farnese and the return. Understood? It wasn't a battlefield for a third party to get in and desecrate. ”

“Palace White is right.... ”

“If you've lost the duel, you'll have to surrender properly. Now that you can't, will you involve another country? I can't believe it…… I've forgotten the audacity, shamelessness and basic respect between countries! ”

I pooped, kicked the table with my foot.

As the table falls, the bottle of wine lying on it breaks. The Marquis flinches. It was very expensive wine, but it didn't matter. I put it up to break it on purpose.

“Marquis, take a look at this. Keep your eyes open and let's see! ”

As I raise my right hand, Smurf-like gases rise from my shadow. They formed straight away. Six death knights protrude out of nowhere and surround the Marquis.

“Old, palace white. This……. ”

“Yes. A knight of death. Each one of them has the skills of a second-rate Imperial Blader. As long as I want, I can summon 200 people from this position right now. ”

The Marquis's gaze shifts. Less than a hundred, in fact.

“It's like the Supreme Knights of the 200. You can silently infiltrate the enemy camp without anyone knowing it and take the enemy commander's supply. You can see how powerful that is. ”

“ ……. ”

“With this incredible power, I have never used it against you! ”

I kicked the chair this time. The chair swoops over the barn and throws itself aside.

“Why, because I couldn't even get the power out of my pocket at any time? Because you didn't know how useful they were on the battlefield? No!”

“ ……. ”

“Because these are the Mayans, and I believed that I should fight only for my home and for my gentleman to gentleman! because he respected his country. Marquis, I trusted you humanely! I, the Demon King, did not mobilize the Horsemen! ”

The monarch slows his head down. I feel the tip of my nose touching the ground just a little more.

“You trampled my respect and trust so badly, you returned……! ”

“I really don't have anything to say.... ”

“No more empty apologies! ”

I'm closing in on the Marquis. You look up and stare at the Marquis. If the Academy had seen this, they would have brought the Confederacy of the Year unanimously.

“If the Republic troops make a single move in Venice! ”

“ ……. ”

“Our Imperial troops will no longer see any gentle action! Remember! Your Highness, let's see how miserable the people you sing so highly of can be! ”

The Marquis's face is filled with despair.

“Palace White, please...... I beg of you. Please, as much as the people... ”

“If you don't want to see such sights, hold on to the Republican army! ”

I pushed the corpse of the baron hard with my bare hands. It was a blessing.

“Begone! ”

The prince had to leave in a state of weakness today. It was like the image of my father persecuted in the company.

I checked on the baron and removed the new wine from the drawer.

Secretly, there was cheap wine in the glass jar that rolled off the table. I changed the contents in advance.

Do not treat human beverages lightly. After all, I am a man of basic courtesy.

“Hmm."

I poured the wine into a glass. A beautiful scent permeated the end of my nose.

Elizabeth is going to wake up and suffer. We've come to Sardinia, leaving the Republic behind, and now we have to pay the price. It's hard to leave the house. Isn't that right, Elise?
