Episode 14: Match Pump

Original occupation - soldiers belonging to the Kingdom of Metis

A human name at the top - Pesh Meticalia

The original vocation of man at the top - Lord Kalüke.

Why I'm a bandit - part of a territorial expansion

A place in Azit - a abandoned fortress in the northeast

Information obtained from the soldiers who sent them to the labyrinth.

Consolidating that information brings up certain facts.

- A third prince, lord of Kalyuke territory, is causing towns and villages to be attacked by ordering soldiers who can move on their orders with a view to expanding their territory to dress as bandits.

"But what's the point of doing that?

Sylvia's questions are good too.

Just because a soldier dressed as a bandit looted it doesn't mean that all the looted items will belong to the third prince. If you imitate a looted item to redeem it, you will surely reach the third prince.

On the contrary, we have a lot of problems using it ourselves.

"Their purpose is not plunder,"

But Melissa already had the answer.

"I finally got an answer to years of questions when I found out about this one"

"What's the question for years?

"When my town was attacked, the next day we heard soldiers were rushing and the bandits were driven from the city."

Melissa is leaving her parents and her young sister behind to escape town as soon as there is a raid, so it has become hearsay about the aftermath.

"But it's too soon to think normally. The raid took place after dinner because it was dispersed in the dark night. And the soldiers rushed early the next morning."

Anything is too soon.

Whether or not I have half a day.

"The soldiers told me that they were training at night nearby, and that they ambushed early in the morning because they were distant but could confirm that the town was being raided."

"And the commander then, by the way?

"... this is Pesh Meticalia, the third prince"

Oh, this is already black.

Me and Sylvia have figured out this time around.

Ira doesn't seem to be the only one who understands, so I decided to explain it to you.

"I mean, the third prince is letting his own soldiers attack the town and vice versa, crusading bandits with his own soldiers."

"So what do you gain from doing that?

Probably...

"It's a town liberated from banditry, but the absence of a lord temporarily governs the third prince who helped from banditry. After that it seems to be governed by another official, but according to the information I have, it is the puppet of the third prince."

In essence, the town of Ragway was in such a state that it was ruled by a third prince.

"I was going to sue you if that governance was terrible, but it wasn't terrible."

"Then I'm glad."

"No, unlike bandits, better governance is normal in this case. What he wanted was a vast expanse of land."

I don't know what you're up to, but it's like the third prince's plan won't be met with the kind of profits he'll get in the short run. So I'm increasing my territory under my control one after the other.

"There have been a number of territories in the last few years that were just as bandit victimized as my hometown and alternating lords. Bandits deprived me of the documents I needed to run my territory, pedestrians coming to my village just got attacked one after the other, villagers kidnapped, all solved by the hands of a third prince who was to be adjacent as I expanded my territory"

Lords then take turns in the form of being taken responsibility.

The new lord will have a third prince's breath.

"It's a terrible match pump..."

Everything you're attacking and solving is at the hands of the third prince.

"But you can be tough for a long time. If you keep taking this method, won't they suspect you in any case?

"Still, the third prince had a reason to hurry."

Reasons to hurry?

"This kingdom of Metis now has a king and three princes about to be fifty years old. It had been rumored for several years, but it seemed like they were thinking of ceding the throne to the first prince. The first prince will accept it, and the second prince will firmly support the country."

It's no easier to translate than you've taken an oath.

"But it was the third prince who disputed it."

"What?"

"He said, 'There are three princes, so the throne should be judged by strength'"

That's a trick.

So I can understand if you're saying that the first prince is unworthy of a king like all fools, but that wasn't the rumor I've heard. He is a warm man and remains a little anxious about what happens when there is a war with his neighbour, but there has not been a war in the last few decades.

As a people, it would still be better for a king to guarantee a stable life.

But meritocracy as the third prince chanted like a child's eclampsia.

There was no way to ignore it, and the king also received a one-off acknowledgement.

Still, only a few years before the King's departure did the third prince get. Regular territorial management is not enough to achieve overwhelming results in a few years. By that time the third prince had only been entrusted with one city in view of the future. Of course, a good aide is attached because of lack of experience.

Still not enough time in the normal way.

So it was the expansion of the territory that the third prince eyed.

But if he, the royal family, committed an act of aggression against the territory where peaceful rule was taking place, that alone could have been an act of problem and also a deprivation of the right to inherit the throne.

That's how it was conceived was to save the territory being attacked by bandits to increase the amount of territory you could use as you wish.

His purpose did not have to be immediately fruitless. It would have been nice to have achieved just enough to be recognized as king a few years later.

"So why was Melissa's town attacked by bandits?

"The territory closest to Kalyuke, the third prince's place of call, was Ragway, my home town. That's just why."

"That's..."

There's no such thing as falling for Melissa's father, who was a lord.

In a soldier dressed as a bandit, he couldn't have been the enemy in a small soldier on a territorial scale.

"So, what are we gonna do?"

"What do you want me to do?

"Do you keep your mouth shut?"

"No, you don't."

Sometimes about Melissa, but this is our fault.

"We got attacked by bandits this time, so we paid back. This is not a problem. But a man with as much power as the third prince should be able to find out who his men were using the streets in the time they were paying back. That way, Mr. Tech, who was using the streets, what do you see?

He's the kind of guy who can bandit himself to succeed to the throne.

Even if there were more than one of them, it would be enough to bury them all from darkness to darkness. That way, we won't be able to get Mr. Tech's safety back. That is unforgivable as the person who received the request for escort.

"The solution is simple. Crush enemies before they are completely skinless."

You don't have to worry about getting attacked without someone to attack you.

"Well, you can do that"

"The problem is where they stand."

You can't hurt a third prince just because he's bandit. No, if we use the royal position, we can bury even the reason.

I know who the enemy is, but I can't help it.

That's how it was.

"I usually take down bandits already. That's all right!

Because that's not how it works...... no, that solves everything.

"Yikes Ira"

"To?"

Ira didn't seem to understand her accomplishments, but now she can make a grand move.
