You and me under the world tree

And for this, Forsyte was indeed full of confidence.

But what I didn't expect was that he was beaten violently because of a negligence.

It wasn't until that time that he realized that there was a huge gap in combat experience between the two sides.

This is an extremely fatal mistake.

"The injury at that time was nothing more than the result of that choice for me."

"Alright, alright."

Just when the whole atmosphere became weird, Walter finally couldn't help but speak.

He cut them off shortly.

"Say these nonsense things one by two."

Walter glanced helplessly at his friend Ilmin, and then at Walter again.

Finally sighed.

Of these two guys, one is usually taciturn and not proficient in conversing.

As for the other, it is even more a problem child.

Perhaps because he was raised by a wizard since he was a child, his various cognitions are incompatible with those around him.

Although he seemed sensible, every word he said revealed an aura of inappropriateness.

It was simply an enhanced version of Ilmin.

For this reason, Walter felt that he was going to die of embarrassment.

I can't listen to it anyway.

"So, why do you bother with this kind of shit, isn't it very simple?"

He then set his sights on Forsyte for that.

"Why did you take out your healing potion to heal other fighters?"

"They said they didn't want to die, and they seemed to need it more than I did."

"Then it's over."

Walter said.

"Now you are seriously injured, and you need these potions more than us. Don't you think your life is lighter? There is no such reason in this world, right?"

In theory, that's true.

However, I am afraid that no one knows that Forsyte really has this idea in his heart.

His logic is actually very simple.

He had seen with his own eyes the howling of nearly dying warriors.

Some of them have enough courage to confess their last words, but their eyes are full of unwillingness.

He also saw those soldiers howling with his own eyes.

Not as brave as the bards described him, but he just vented his fear of death loudly.

And it was precisely because none of them wanted to die that he distributed the potion.

But he himself is not afraid of death, nor does he have the fear of death that ordinary people have.

But before he could think about anything, those words came to his ears again.

"And, aren't we friends?"

Then he looked up and looked at Walter.

"Because we are friends, neither I nor Irmin thought of asking you to pay back anything. It is a good thing that you survived."

Then Forsyte pursed his lips.

He suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Even, an unspeakable feeling began to spread deep in my heart.

"Friend...is it?"

He whispered.

Then Forsyte nodded slowly.

"Well, we're friends."

he opened his mouth to speak.

"Okay, take care of your wounds."

Walter reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Irmin and I just came to see you. Let's have a good rest. His Majesty's enthronement ceremony will be soon. This is a rare sight for us. I'll take you to see it."

"Ah this..."

Without waiting for Forsyte's response, Walter took Ilmin out of the room.

"I don't want to go."

he said in a low voice.

However, he was the only one left in the room.

And it seems that the wizard's son Forsyte's life is not over yet.

Chapter 11: Understaffed? Conspiracy?

In the end, Walter and Ilmin just left.

One of them is the lord of the Grimes region, and the other is his staff.

And recently, they have been very busy.

On the one hand, it is because their territory has expanded.

Her Royal Highness ordered that a piece of land in the southern area of ​​the Elmrich camp that had been attacked before was revoked from its original title and assigned to Grimes.

And this made it hard for a grass-roots team to be set up, and as a result, the suddenly expanded territory was filled with a mess of mess.

In this case, even the so-called left and right hands like Irmin who were planning to fish were pulled out.

Anyway, it's just a grassroots team now.

Before implementing strategies and selecting talents in his territory, no one would accuse him of the lord's employment problems.

After all, he really doesn't have enough people now.

And before wearing the old clothes and running outside, it might not be a distraction.

On the other hand, it is a matter of great importance within the Gothic kingdom:

Her Royal Highness the Great Princess is about to ascend the throne as King!

As the lord who just took office, Walter must take this opportunity to strengthen his presence.

This sense of presence does not mean highlighting one's so-called achievements.

Walter is sober, he knows that he is not worth mentioning compared with other warriors.

Princess Dietrich has her own team. From the moment she officially stationed in the God-given city of Be'an, the former king Dietmar acquiesced in her starting to build her own power.

It also means she doesn't need to be busy at all.

The so-called coronation ceremony is nothing more than a grand but indispensable cutscene.

After this cutscene is dealt with, it's almost time for those people under him to be promoted to official positions.

Simple promotion and salary increase.

Even those lords with back covers will only give higher honors.

After all, she has many warriors under her command.

And compared to the warriors she promoted at the beginning, Walter, a 'rising star', may not be much younger in terms of age.

But it is indeed a complete newcomer.

What does this mean?

This means that he has no background at all, and even less friends.

If it weren't for everyone working together for Gothic, he could be regarded as isolated and helpless.

However, the lord is an extremely special existence after all.

It is completely different from the courtiers and staff who serve and advise the kingdom in Dietrich's court.

The lordship system has been full of risks from the moment it was fully established.

Not only is the king as the lord of a country at risk, but the lords themselves are also at risk.

The king must guard against the ambitions of his lords.

Even if the source of ambition cannot be cut off, it must be suppressed from the source.

The domineering king directly rules the kingdom, while the royal family that is not strong and only has the title of king needs to learn to check and balance.

It's quite normal to pull a faction to fight a faction or something.

As for the lord, the situation is even more difficult.

Regardless of the lofty status of the lord, it can even be said to be second only to His Majesty the King.

They have their own court and army, and they can make their own laws.

It can be said that they are the only kings in their fief.

However, there will also be conflicts between lords and lords.

This is inevitable.

Then the problem came, as the new lord of the Grimes area, he joined Dietrich only later.

So what should a man like Walter, without any support, do?

he does not know.

He didn't even know what kind of situation Her Highness the Princess was in.

However, he must show his sense of existence and let other colleagues know his existence. It is best to have more friends or something.

So, he first started communicating with the warriors under the princess.

And his reason is also very good, that is, to ask people like Altwin and Studus in the tone of former comrades-in-arms, and ask them how to be a good lord.

By the way, I would like to complain that as a new lord, what I take over is a mess, and my own manpower is not enough.

In the beginning, Walter did communicate with them with the idea of ​​getting closer.

And if you put on an attitude of being a late learner, you should get a good response no matter what.

Both Walter and Ilmin thought so.

But soon, the reply they received made them a little puzzled.

Because whether it is Studus or Altwin, their replies are all similar to one sentence:

"You can ask Her Royal Highness about this matter, and she will give you a satisfactory answer."

Is that Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Are you talking about Dietrich Dietermadottir?

Thinking of the figure he had met once, Irmin couldn't help but feel terrified.

Yes, even now he knows that he is working for that princess, and they should be loyal to Goth.

However, that panic still lingered deep in his heart.

As for Walter, he has not actually met that Her Royal Highness the Princess, but her every move revealed to the outside world reveals an extremely tough state.

Just hearing the rumors was enough to make him feel awed.
