I was forced to make a choice.

One path is to return to the Knights and stop the reckless Necropolis offensive.

If Notaras is right, persuade him, some Knights executives will take this side.

Because executives will know that the Necropolis offense will cost a fortune, and there should be dissatisfaction about Arte's loss.

For example, Lylene Remilia, an executive engineer, is a woman with a strong sense of justice and would not tolerate the Arte way.

She also said she was in favor of my return.

But on the contrary, rivalry is inevitable with Arte the Wise Woman, the leader of the Necropolis offense, Garrels the Guardian Warrior, who hates me, and Creon, the new deputy commander who kicked me out.

A small number of other executives and members should take the side of the Artes.

I wish I could just end up convincing you behind the peace, but it's not unlikely you'll proceed to a confrontation by exercising your strength.

The definite bills on this side are me, Summoner Notaras, and the three Virgin Sophia, but even if the engineers Lylene Remilia join them as allies to this, whether or not they have a winner when they are in battle with the Artes.

Plus, Sophia said she wanted to get out of the Knights, but she's going to get her into battle again.

Another path is to look and pretend not to see.

The outbreak of casualties from Arte's Necropolis offensive operation is silenced as unavoidable.

And if the Knights try to bring back the Virgin Sophia, they will passively stop it.

At least, speaking of me, I was kicked out of the Knights, and I have no brother-in-law against them.

You're in danger, and you have no obligation to stop Arte.

That way you can continue to master the Empress Philia and keep your promise to Philia.

But is that okay?

Non-executives are also members of the Knights I have solicited and gathered.

It is heartbreaking to leave them alone as they go to the dead.

"I want you to think about it for a second."

In the end, I couldn't decide and asked Notaras to wait for an answer.

Notaras nodded as if it was unavoidable.

"We don't have much time. Make your decision by tomorrow."

The execution of the Necropolis offensive operation is now in place, and many members, including Arte and other executives, say they are already on their way to the Imperial Capital.

However, they don't include Cleon among them.

"Hey, Notaras. Why do you think Cleon wouldn't object to an operation like this?

"Well, my boy doesn't even know. Since Lord Solon was gone, he's changed people."

Previous Cleon would not have allowed such a forceful method of site attack.

However, not to mention that Cleon himself is causing the ruin attack to go ahead with a harsh momentum and is torturing the members.

Cleon should have been a well-informed, kind one.

Why is that creon doing this?

Once, in person with Cleon, it might be a hand to talk.

Sophia's getting out of the Knights is also pretty close to solving the problem, as long as Cleon admits it.

I tried to lead Notaras to the front door.

Tomorrow, again, I hear Notaras will be visiting this mansion.

Then I'll tell him what I'm gonna do.

Notaras told me like he remembered.

"Speaking of which, Lord Solon. This is a famous wine region on the outskirts of Teito."

"Right. Want to take one home?

"I'd love to, please. My boy, good wine has no eyes."

Notaras sparkled his eyes behind his glasses.

This Notaras is a cool liquor lover and is quite familiar with wines in particular.

Because of me, I tried to take him to the mansion's wine vault.

So I looked at a few brands, and he'd be happier to pick one.

And when I opened the hallway door to the vault, something unexpected happened.

There was the Empress Philia.

"That, Solon. I'm sorry."

Philia grinned like trouble and compared me to Notaras' face.
