Episode 25: Where to go * 4

The next day, Mr. Crowe came home.It seems that the "Aftertreatment" is over.

I painted Laocles and Laocles on me, and Fay and the Demon King who was coming to play were followed and stretched by Fay.Mr. Crowe was there and I decided to talk to him at my house. [M]

"Well, I knew it, but reporting it to the royal family didn't seem like anything."

Claire, who drinks iced tea while walking around the table at my house, says, "I've done my job!"Thank you.

"Rather, as a royal family, I have a bad impression of Golda because of the poison.The royal family will cut off the gold.I wonder if Golda has finally lost her way. "

"Is this coming to us?"

"Well, it's the most likely place.Membership of the Union of Nobles.If you give up harmony with the royal family, there is only Argent or us... but Argent and Golda seem to have a bad relationship in the first place, and I think Golda can only become the fourth force or rub against the Alliance of Nobles... "

Jesus Christ, Claire shows her shoulders up.This is a similar technique, Mr. Crowe.

"... well, you're showing me the thickness of the skin of the fake family, so I wouldn't be surprised if I did something even thicker now."

"Yeah, I'm not surprised either."

Faye is sucking a straw and smoking iced tea.In the glass, where most of the ice remained, there was a noise, not a sound, not a sound.It's a little bad manners, but that's how Faye feels now.

... ah, but that's not good because the demon king remembers and imitates it.The Demon King doesn't do it quickly, he does it.The Demon King seems to have enjoyed making such a sound and is in a good mood.Hmm, how do I tell you that you behave badly...?

"... so I think you and Laocles are worried, so why don't we give Golda a report?"

If I was worried about seeing the Demon King, that's what Claire told me, so I'll correct my posture.Next to me, Laocles is always in good shape. [M]

"To confirm, Lord Golda was obsessed with Laocles for some reason.At first, the royal family simply created a name to crush the Red Gard, but for the second time... the day before yesterday's visit, it really seemed like Laocles and maybe Mersen were going to get caught. "

Yeah, that's okay.

Perhaps the first request was to create a pretext for the Royals to poison Red Gard territory.

But... I don't think there was a second request like that.I don't know if it's enough to do it on purpose... or if I can't read the purpose.

"But that's not too much, is it?If you want to sharpen the power of a forest town, it's too bad.I mean, it's just the two of us. That's what you do to keep only two knights out of combat?In that case, it would still be better to assault them for indiscriminate murder. "

Yeah... no, well, indiscriminate murder is troublesome, but I know that.I know what Claire's theory is.

Laocles nodded and looked difficult, and Faye slightly stepped forward and listened to Mr. Crowe.The Demon King is doing the same, the same, the same, the same, the same. Peace!

"... that's where I thought.I wonder if this has nothing to do with the forest town anymore. "

... hmm?

"Laocles is really the problem."

"... am I?"

"Yes, you are."

"... why"

"Oh, that's easy."

Looking at Laocles, who seemed to be confused, Mr. Crowe pointed his finger at Laocles... and said.

"You've gathered more hearts and minds from Golda than your current lord.You must be blind! "

"... am I...?"

That's right.

Laocles blinked and firmly solidified for about 5 seconds.And then you look at me, and then you look at me, and then you look at Fay, and you look at Mr. Crowe... and you say...

Aren't you?

... Laocles looks like he's halfway there.Draw. The various human expressions can be very useful to study.

"Unfortunately, that's possible.Uh... did you guys go to the square in the town of Golda?The one with the tiles made of marble and gold. "

"Gone. It was beautiful."

"Oh, thank goodness... uh, did you see the fountain in the corner?"

"Of course!"

Remember, that little fountain with the golden Knight statue.Not in the middle, but in the small corner of the corner, so it was less conspicuous... than the golden tile square, more than the delicately crafted exterior lights, and above all, the golden statue of the plaster statue, such as the superior metal sculpture filled with shaping beauty, was the best!

"... as far as Corgo's face is concerned, you've seen a knight statue in the fountain."

"Well, I saw it....."

"It looked like Laocles. It was a little younger."

"That's right. It's a statue of Laocles."

... ah, Laocles has hardened again.

"The Golden Land is about to enter its second Dark Age. Do you understand that?"

"I don't know."

"I know. I know that from the incompetence of the current lord.... you know what I'm looking at from the outside?You're making inhuman poison and trying to get into the royal family, and you're failing to rub against the royal family?Everywhere.In a country devoured by upheaval, this is too bad at steering boulders. "

Mr. Claire's words are quite thorny.I know what you think, but... okay.That's how I feel.

"The point is, Golda is over.The people do not want the current lord.The people are about to revolutionize.... just like you did once.But this time, we'll do it better. "

With a smile, Mr Crowe said.

"The symbol of that revolution is you."

"I don't need you.Without you, the people of Golda will rise.Take advantage of your last reflection.... but you certainly support the hearts of the people of Golda.It's like a fountain statue. "

Laocles finally looks like he's about to hold his head.Confusion and confusion are complicated expressions mixed with a little light or something like that.

"That's why Lord Golda is afraid of you.The heroes in the hearts of the people of Golda can't be erased, but if the real thing is still alive... I think we have to do something about it. "

... yeah! Fine! Wow... I'm so convinced now.

That's right. The Lord of Golda wanted to do something about Laocles to manage his territory, not what to do about the town of the woods, or what to do about me.

In that case, I am convinced by that attitude.Somewhat passive, not very aggressive towards me, and somehow a calm atmosphere existed, so harassment of me was a bit uncomfortable.

After all, it is convincing that Laocles and the others are lighting a strong light in the hearts of the people of Golda.That's what the men who testified and so many others looked like, and after all, the golden plaster statue of the fountain in the square!

... Laocles are loved by the people of Golda so much that they can decorate themselves like that.Yeah, I'm glad.

"The point is, the reason you and Marsen want it is the most effective way to break the hearts and minds of the people.What if a hero who once saved Golda while being blamed becomes a slave to the current lord?What if the lord's words could come from your mouth?... well, that's what I'm talking about. Are you satisfied? "

I said, "I did."

"I'm convinced too.No, I see, that's what I mean.... "

Me and Faye were completely convinced by Claire's explanation.But on the other hand...

"... I don't know."

Laocles has an unspeakable face, wandering blindly.I see. This is a bit of an illuminated face.

"Don't pretend you don't know, hero?"

I'm not a hero.

Well, not a hero, but a golden plaster statue.

"I don't know how to do that...."

I see. I can't help it.

"Laocles is much more amazing than Laocles thinks."

I'll say that for now, but it's not long before Laocles can accept it. [M]Well, I think that's fine.Even if he doesn't understand, that's fine because I do.

"That's why we have to do our best not to take Laocles."

"... well, good luck with that."

"Yeah."

Laocles had a mixed expression, but he started stroking my head with a bitter smile."I don't have to work hard either," whispered bluntly.

Then for a while.

Crowe sometimes went out and did a little bit of work in the Golda realm, gathered information, and worked a lot.

But apparently, Goldar territory is calming down now.

... the people of Golda thought, "It doesn't make sense to repeat the same thing."

In other words, killing a lord and forcibly ending his reign would not be a fundamental solution...

Now, it seems that the lord of Golda has made a huge push from the crowd.But I can't trust the royal family, and I don't want to put my hands together because I'm not close to the Argent family... The Golda realm is not what it would have been if the people rebelled against me now, so even if they moved me, it seems that I have to change a little bit.

Moreover, it seems that there is a little spear coming in from the House of Red Gard... The point is, there is no other way for Lord Golda to survive without being attacked by the people except by fundamentally reformed good governance, and finally, there is no other way to survive until the House of Red Gard is brought in and admitted into the Union of Nobles.

Oh, my gosh. No, well... I guess I'll just have to feel a little bit bad about what I did to Laocles and the others.This may not be a good idea.

"Well, that's why Golda's fine now.If you move badly, how will Red Gard and the royal family be destroyed before the people revolutionize it, that territory. "

Mr Crowe's smiling debriefing ended with Mr Crowe's slightly frizzy dialogue.Claire, I knew this smile would suit you.I'm a child of the woods and a child of the night party, Mr. Claire...

"And thanks to Golda's heroes."

"... don't tear it up."

It was Laocles who was relieved to hear the report, but it seems to be weak if Mr Crowe makes fun of it.She is drinking tea with a disgusting face.The point is, the illuminated face.

"Heroes, huh...."

And then I'll murmur, too.Laocles looked like 'please', but the image was already spreading in my head.

Speaking of heroes... after all, like that golden plaster statue, it has a vigorous and courageous image.I see. Laocles is a hero...

... ah.

"I'm starting to want to paint..."

Oh, it's the usual one.

Yeah. Yeah. Always a seizure. I'm starting to want to draw.I tingle. Oh, Laocles, I want to draw.Hero Laocles, I want to draw. That's what I want to draw, Laocles.I wonder if it's like Dracroix's "Statue of Liberty to Lead the People.""Laocles of Freedom to Lead the People", I want to draw!

"I want to draw. I'm starting to want to draw.Hey, can I draw it? "

"... whatever you want. Does my work include drawings?"

So I got permission quickly. [M]Great job! I'm glad I included the model business in my job description!

Yeah! Let's start with the armor!

Then hurry up, goodness is hurry!

"... armor?"

Yeah, let's do something new.

"To draw, or what? What a luxury....."

"I mean, you should have ceremonial armor, right?"

Laocles, who was laughing a little bitterly, smiled.Faye was tilting her neck a little, but Mr. Crowe soon understood and giggled.

"A ceremony, or something..."

"Don't forget. It's important, right?"
