Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

After the meeting in Trisiceria ...

Rosward was walking alone.

The area is already dim.

"Hmm, I didn't really help ..."

Rosward smiled with a bitter smile.

Well, Rosward has gained experience as a soldier, but none as a diplomat.

Probably, Almus also brought them to gain experience.

Interpreted Rosward.

"But ... it was long. Most wars were over within a year so far ..."

The war was out of standard.

Usually, a country with less national power than your own country is an opponent ...

In addition, it was a land battle.

But this time, the national power is higher than his own country ...

In addition, the main battlefield was at sea.

It's strange that we have won.

"But ... Prince Marx becomes hostage, and what should I do now?"

Take the next heir to the throne as a hostage.

That's not unusual.

It is rather common.

In the first place, Romalia has come so far.

It's just that you've been done and returned.

Not a causal retribution, but ...

At least Romania, Almus and Yulia are not in a position to mourn.

Of course, it's true that taking a child hostage is hard for parents.

"But there's no way my brother can send her son alone, because every country will always have an accompanying person ..."

When the royal prince goes hostage to another country ...

Be sure to accompany the son and daughter of the vassals.

The son and daughter later become close friends when the prince returns and becomes king.

As a companion who had a hard time together.

Of course, Almus is not the type that compels them.

But ... It's natural to ask for a long trip.

At that time, Rosword answered or not answered ...

"Well, it's natural for the ministry to answer. It's not bad for me or my son ..."

The Persian Empire is a developed nation.

It is a country where all kinds of wealth and knowledge come from all over the world.

You can study abroad there.

It ’s nothing but rewards…

In the first place, Rosward, who came out of the market with the help of Alums, naturally wants to gain the confidence of the next Prince.

Ron, Gram, and the Roswords have a flaw in their family.

It is advisable to bring a child to keep the house from falling.

"But what the rear guys are ... you have to consult only for this."

Rosward sighed.

Rosward cannot be defeated if his wife opposes him.

Somehow Rosward has a cute son.

I don't want to let go.

Well, there is a desire to study abroad just because it's cute.

"... but the Prince's room is the Persian Empire's princess, and then the next king is a mixed race of Adernians and Persians? I don't care. "

What's just behind Rosward's mind now is what happens to Romalia after Almus's death?

That is a simple question.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Kingdom of Romania is preserved by the wisdom of Almus.

This can be understood by considering the split of national affairs before the Pofenia War.

In fact, there is not one Romania kingdom.

It's all about Alums's wisdom that he adjusts his interests and puts it in good shape.

Therefore, after the death of Almus, it will be severe.

"Well, it's the same for every nation. After all, there's a big wall between the first and second generations, and the second and third generations ... unless you live long!"

In short, everyone should live longer.

Almus will soon be in his thirties, but he should be able to live up to his fifties in terms of life expectancy.

We need to prepare a national system by then.

"I'm gonna go home soon ....

Rosward thinks so and tries to return on the way he came ...

Quit, something pulled the clothes.

Looking down, there was a little girl, about five years old.

Her hair is beautiful blonde and her eyes are jade.

And ... I have a face that I've seen somewhere.

"Um, you?"

"I was lost when I was walking. Could you take me?"

It was like a lost child.

Rosward strokes the girl's head and asks again.

"Name is?"

"Hanna Barka, daughter of Belshazzar Barka"

So that's it……

Rosward was convinced.

It is similar to Alexios.

It seems to be very clever.

The Barca family's blood may be alive.

"Sir Rosward Fabius, right?"

"Oh, yes. I remember my name well."

"Because it's a future enemy, it's natural."

This gave Rosward a bitter smile.

Rosward is not a child enough to be thrilled by a five-year-old girl.

Rather, it feels humorous.

"Do you hate me?"

"No, I don't. I don't have any remorse for Romania. Rather, I'm stunned by Azul Hanno, my grandfather, and my father."

Rosward and Hanna begin to walk side by side.

Hannah, with a sigh, tells Rosward to complain.

"They regard this war as a mere scramble for colonies, just as much as Trisqueria's contender for rights. Nothing at all ...

"Essence? What the hell is it?"

After all, what a 5-year-old girl says.

Nevertheless, Rosward was a little curious and asked Hannah.

"It may have been one of the few chances to stop the runaway of the Romanian kingdom. The defeat has greatly reduced the likelihood of surviving Pofenia for the next hundred years."

Rosward leans on Hannah's words.

Runaway ... I didn't know well.

In the first place, the cause of the war was Pofenia.

"I don't think we have runaway ... but what?"

"It's easy. The Kingdom of Romaria is a peninsula country. By its very nature, we need to be prepared for both land-based and sea-based enemies. But in reality this is not possible. It wouldn't be possible in any great power, such as balancing the army and navy. There is only one way for Romania to survive ... "

Hanna stood with one finger.

"Conquering all the coasts of the Tethys Sea and leaving the Tethys Sea inland, so you only have to prepare for enemies from land."

"It's an interesting idea ... but no one in Japan thinks that. I can't beat the Persian Empire in the first place."

"What are you talking about, the Persian Empire is forever and everlasting? Such a bloated empire cannot be long-lived. I won't have it after that. ''

Rosward gasped.

In the words of a five-year-old girl ... it was strangely persuasive.

"Persis will surely collapse over the next hundred years, and there will be a gap in military strength in the East Tethys Sea, where Romania will invade. And to protect his interests ... Yes, as Sir Rosward Fabius says, no one will try to conquer the Romanians to the world, but there are many nationalists trying to protect the country. , We have to invade other nations, and there is no end to it. Romania will continue to expand indefinitely, and Romania cannot stop it. Stopping is the time of Romania's destruction. "

Hannah sighed.

"That's why we needed to stop here right now, not just a colonial war, but a battle between Romaria and Pofenia, for the next few hundred years, across the Tethys Sea. And yet, I'm pulling my legs ... I'm too short of a sense of danger.

Indeed, interesting.

Rosward was inadvertently impressed.

Even if there is no reason for delusion ( ), it would be promising in the future if he could speak with such a convincing power.

But ... as Rosward, I was worried.

Why did Hanna tell such a story to himself?

"... Why are you talking to me?"

"Well, it's easy. Insurance. Romalia doesn't make any sense because I'm destroying ... Yeah, insurance. For me, the biggest concern is not Romania conquering the Tethys Sea. That's fine if people can live happily there, even if they are conquered.

However……

Continues Hannah.

"Romalia is now young. It is a nation with a strong body and will not attract any foreign enemies. However, no superpower has ever been secure forever. And as Pofenia defeated Romaria ... any nation will eventually age and begin to rot from its internal organs, no matter how robust its body is, if its internal organs start to rot ... no matter how foreign enemies They will perish even if you don't keep them. ''

Hannah ...

She continues with a voice that is so heavy that she cannot be considered a five-year-old girl.

"If Romania dies alone, that's okay. But if he kept drinking a lot of nations on his stomach? If he became a superpower across the Tethys Sea? Romari's corruption is synonymous with world corruption No problem if the rat struggles, but if the giant elephant struggles, there will be a lot of damage, and I'm concerned about it, so if I lose to you ... I want you to do your best not to do that, but I don't know if you're alive until then. "

Hanna smiles with a grin ...

I stopped.

He noticed that he had already arrived at an inn addressed to Hannah and Belshazzar Barka.

"Then, Sir Rosward Fabius, goodbye, and ... I'll see you again someday. I'm looking forward to the day you take your head in Rosais, the capital of the Romanian kingdom."

"... I'm looking forward to it."

Rosward smiled with a bitter smile.

And after seeing Hannah ...

"At all ... what kind of education does Belshazzar Barka teach, but ... she was a weird kid, and ... it was an interesting story. Will I ask my brother when I return?"

At this time, no one knew yet.

The First Pofenian War is just an outpost.

The Second War of Pofenia, which occurs later, is a true national affair for the country of Romaria.

But ...

Only one person ...

The devil who later became the greatest master in world history and was called the worst, strongest, and most evil enemy of Romania ...

Except for Hanna Barka.

And ...

With many people dying of life after the reunification of the Adernia Peninsula, the only surviving man to continue supporting Romania mourns and regrets later.

"Well, no way ... at that time, the child at that time! ! Poko, if you kill, if you kill at that time, this is what you want! ! !
