Industrial revolution starting with the undead

……

I cannot answer Mr. Andrew's words.

But I can understand reason. Indeed, it is quite difficult to replace a once-in-charge lord. Unless you give yourself up like I do, it's not easy for a lord to take his place.

Such an irreplaceable way of replacing a lord, instantly.

That is the death of the present lord.

Like when my father once died and I became lord.

"Even as circumstantial evidence, it's in order. I haven't been out at all since I took office because that's all I have a serious illness. The high number of maids hired and slaves purchased is due to the fact that everyday life is so irresistible. I leave most things to my deputies because I don't have the strength to just head Mr. Edward himself."

……

"Even if it is true that we are delayed in sharing in the mansion, circumstantial evidence deceives us. With all this material, you won't have a problem getting sick or dead."

……

To Mr. Andrew's fluent flock of words, I don't pinch anything.

Sure, he's right. Where Edward died of illness now, no one would suspect him. Whatever, it was Edward himself who said, "I'm going to take care of myself because I'm sick."

But.

Because.

It tells me to kill my real brother...

"... Phew. Think of something funny, Mr. Mayor."

"It's an honor to compliment you."

"But isn't that a little too much interference? But the mayor is talking about assassinating the current lord. If this conversation gets into someone's ear, that's all your neck flies."

"I understand that. But I'm the mayor of the town. Because the happiness of the townspeople in the town of Fulcus is what I need to do."

"For that matter, can I get my hands dirty, huh?

"Yes."

I guess you're already ready, Mr. Andrew snorts so.

To Mr. Andrew like that, all Eleonora showed was a big sigh.

"Jin, it's up to you to decide"

"Me, I..."

"Where you killed that brother, I don't despise him. It's dope enough to be in the top 50 in my life."

……

I wonder if I know too many dokuz.

Not really.

I have to decide. What should we do now?

Kill my brother and become a lord - should I carry out such outrage?

"I'm sorry, Jin, but I agree with the mayor. Even if a proposal for distrust is accepted following a formal procedure, it cannot be easily replaced with a lord. Even if the mistrust proposal is accepted in the Imperial Council, the procedure that follows is enormous. At least you won't be able to change for a year."

"If this were to last a year, the damage to the countryside would just increase. Though it has the power to defend itself, it is also possible that bandits will appear again. They're sensitive to the smell of gold. If I think it's flourishing at all, I'm going to take it away immediately."

……

Think. Desperately, think.

I'm going back to my lord. The fastest way to do this is to kill Edward. Nothing else.

Where formal procedures have been followed, Edward will never leave office. Unless Edward says he will continue to be a lord and a mistrust proposal passes in the Territorial Assembly, there is no way Edward will be stripped of that status.

But as long as Edward exists as a lord, the Fleetberg tax remains intact. It will starve the inhabitants with such a tax system, like leaving the minimum out of the rural inhabitants to exploit them all. This tax system does not change any more than Edward exists as a lord who only thinks of rural inhabitants like carriages.

I mean, we have to drag Edward down from the lord somehow -.

But.

I shook my head.

"Assassination is a means... I don't want to use it, I don't"

"... are you serious, Master Jin"

"I don't want to remove my hoop."

"Hoops...?

Strangely, look at me, Mr. Andrew.

But I also have an insistence that I can't give away. Even if killing Edward here and now was the fastest way to a solution, I don't want to.

Kill people to gain status.

That's embarrassing. Because I think so.

"By killing my brother, it could certainly fit round. But if I kill someone here... when I have to, I assume 'kill someone'"

"What the hell..."

"If you're a hostile opponent, I'll return this one with animosity. If you are a man who harms innocent people, I will not hesitate to do so. But... killing my brother and taking that position is different."

……

I fought against a patrol of 'Ecclesiastes' who once massacred Bath's village. And made their sins, which they could never forgive, atone with death.

So it doesn't mean you don't want to kill people. If you're a hostile opponent, this one fights as hard as you can, and even if people die as a result, I'll have no choice but to break it. Even if that's the flesh and blood, I choose to fight.

But not this one.

Kill to take the lord's throne from Edward - it's just a selfish killing.

"I see... well, I thought you wouldn't get a colorful reply"

"I don't know why you asked, Mr. Mayor."

"I didn't try it. That's until I suggested it because I thought this was the fastest way. I just didn't think the kind Jin would accept."

"... excuse me"

Indeed, Mr Andrew is right, it is the most round path to fit.

The only thing I can't accept about it is my endurance.

What a body I want to be while I want to put the people first.

But, of course, there are alternatives.

"Alternative?"

"Yes. Do you know about the civil unrest in Mocanate territory?

"Uh... yes, a little"

Answer that with a frown to the unexpected words of Mr. Andrew.

Moccanese territory is a very large territory next to Fleetberg territory. I remember hearing about the civil unrest I had when I was a kid.

"In Mocanate territory, it is alleged that two men, sons of the earlier Earl of Mocanate, fought. Idum Mocanate, who, although his eldest son, was supposedly made to give birth to a traveler. Schnen Mokanate, son of his rightful wife, although he is the second son. Though the lord was ceded to his eldest son Idum by his predecessors, he called it 'The concubine child inherits it or something. It doesn't make sense!' And his second son, Schnen, said he had a rebellion."

"Yeah..."

"As a result, more soldiers followed his second son, Schnen, and Idum was taken from his lord's seat and banished. Count Schnen Mokanate is still in the throne of his lord."

"I know that..."

"Don't you think it's strange? Why couldn't Schnen be punished for taking the Lord's throne?"

……

Indeed, no Imperial Council appears anywhere in this story, nor does the Territorial Council. As of the first lord in office in the first place, he should be a lord allowed by the Imperial Council.

While seizing its status, it is still in the throne of its lord as Earl -.

"No way......"

"Yeah, I don't think so."

Shivering at me, stabbing me in the face.

Mr. Andrew said in a low voice.

"As one of the autonomous rights of the territory, the Empire acknowledges the usurpation caused by civil unrest"

It is.

That I can go to war with my brother - with Edward, and become a lord if I win.
