Feudal Lord: He was defeated, huh
I confirmed the conclusion of the battle from the manors balcony.
Feudal Lord: Dont you skip over me, you idiot son
People have an important order of things, the ones that are born first has to die firstits simple but important. I couldnt return almost anything that I got from my father but I still kept the order and in the end I didnt die first.
No matter how loyal the child is, if he didnt follow the order and die before his parents, it could not be said that its a likeable thing even if the child was a knight captain who was being diobedient to ones parent just for striving good conducts
Feudal Lord: Ive told you
Rena: What is?
Feudal Lord: No, nothing. Its just my own monologue.
I looked back while answering the womans voice from behind.
Feudal Lord: In any case, did my son leave some words to you?
Even if hes a big fool and unfilial son, he might still have a last request, doesnt he? Hence, I asked her so.
Rena: Eeh, he said please live.
Feudal Lord: I seeI see.
It was the last word from my son that I deeply engraved as if it was chewed thoroughly This must be done with maximum effort.
Feudal Lord: So? What do the winner wants from the loser?
With a terribly complex expression, I asked the obvious question to her.
Rena: Lets see, first, you have to adopt Eren, the Moonlight Family leader, as your adopted child or a hidden child.
I frowned when I heard the demand from her who became expressionless in an instant. Because I have understood how it will develop after this.
Rena: After completing the various procedures, you will nominate Eren as the successor and retire from your lord position.
Feudal Lord: How can I explain this to the central government?
Rena: Please tell them that Eren has won as a result of the successors scramble.
Feudal Lord: What if I refuse?
At that moment, I stopped breathing due to the pressure.
Rena: are you going to ignore your sons last will?
Feudal Lord: I dont mean it like that, its just a hypothetical story.
This is not good, my son have entrusted his will to her. If you look at her eyes, you will know that you wont just die.
Rena: Well, lets see. If you refuse, can I have your remaining daughter do her best? If Im correct, shes 14 years old this year, so Im sure she can make a child now, and I can put a goblin who is not related by blood with the feudal lord as a successor. yes?
Just listening to this person who speaks a repulsive thing casually makes me horrified Can someone say something like this while being conscious? Rather, would anyone think something like this in the first place?
Feudal Lord: I will ensure all the demands, so dont put your hands to my daughter and wife.
Rena: Is that so? If so, then theres no problem.
In the first place, there is no choice for me since my son lost, so all I can do is to save as many lives as possible.
Feudal Lord: and one more thing.
Rena: Theres still more?
Feudal Lord: This is the last promise me to never leave the fief and the people out of hand.
Rena: ? Would that be it?
Feudal Lord: yeah.
I had thought a lot for a moment, but lets stop. I dont feel like it would be a decent result.
Rena: Thats fine. Rather, it will still be the same as before except for some policies, and after you have succeeded Eren-san as the lord, please go talk to the Moonlight Family boss together with me. I only wanted a puppet.
Feudal Lord: I see, well then, lets act immediately.
Rena: Yes, please.
Today marks the day where the fief of Margrave Vallence came to an end
Boss: Fumu, I didnt think you could accomplish this kind of feat.
I alongside the feudal lords envoy went to meet the Moonlight Family boss on the next day and that was the first line that he said.
Rena: You didnt believe it?
Boss: Well, even if youre not a human, you are still a single person. I had thought that it wasnt enough to defeat the knight captain, Alexei. Did I go senile as well?
Half in doubt, I see?
Well, you wouldnt think that a coup would be successful with merely one little girl, yes?
Boss: One question, what if we dont manage the territory like what you wanted to?
Rena: ? I will just change the head again, though?
Boss: I see, we dont want to be as hostile as we could towards you as we wont do anything from here.
Rena: Thats splendid.
Even though I have succeeded with great pains, its troublesome to start over again, yes?
Though, it would be easy to do as there wont be the knight leader next time.
Rena: Well then, I will leave the rest to you, yes?
Boss: Yeah, leave it to me.
Rena: Now then, that will be it from me today.
I said so and left the place, went back to the hotel, and logged out. Today was a passionate day. What a nice feeling of exhaustion.
What should I do next? Should I aim for the next city soon?
