Episode 1093. Do you know where my sword will point?
Fabian said with an ambiguous face to Elio who was stunned.
“But that’s a bit odd.”
“what?”
“The Kingdom of Tallinn has never been involved in a dispute between Escatos and Raminof Kingdom. Escatos and Raminof Kingdom were buying grain from Tallinn Kingdom, so it was ambiguous to take either side.”
“Then aren’t you doing something else? Rumors could be wrong.”
“It is certain that Tallinn and Raminov Kingdom joined hands. These days, the knights of Tallinn and Raminof Kingdom often have meetings. There are also stories about Jade Lake coming out of it.”
“I mean, I can’t do anything. So what’s wrong?”
Elio looked at Fabian with a sullen face.
“Isn’t it ironic?”
“what?”
“All of a sudden, the Kingdom of Tallinn joins hands with Raminof, and there is talk of Jade Lake coming out.”
“why? then no?”
Elio stared at Fabian.
I don’t know what kind of big deal they are making a fuss about.
Fabian, who had been staring at Elio blankly for a moment, said with a face that realized something.
“ah! In the eyes of Vice-captain, things in the world seem insignificant, right? As a lowly person, I thought of the vice-captain as an ordinary human for a while. Please forgive me.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Tell me the point.”
Despite hearing the bruises, Fabian didn’t feel bad in the slightest.
Viscount Elio Lagoa is a tiger.
It was perhaps natural that the tiger did not understand the rabbits’ work.
“Didn’t the vice-captain beat the commander of the Tallinn Kingdom knights not too long ago? In retaliation, it seems that the kingdom of Tallinn is playing tricks.”
“If you have any complaints about me, you can come to me. Why did you touch the Jade Lake?”
“Iknow, right. I don’t know why it suddenly touches the kingdom of Escatos. If it was because he was afraid of the vice-captain, he would have rather quietly covered it up… What on earth is he aiming for?”
“Isn’t the Kingdom of Tallinn also greedy for Jade Lake? Like sharing it with Raminof Kingdom…”
“Raminof? If that was the case, I would have proposed dividing the Kingdom of Escatos first.”
“It is like that again. How are you? It’s free to be black. tell me not to work It’s annoying to run around.”
“By the way, isn’t there much talk from above? If it’s because of the vice-captain, it’s time to start talking…”
“You’re not going to send me to Jade Lake, are you?”
“It can’t be. Vice-captain, you must protect Hirhera. Even great nobles wouldn’t do that if they had heads.”
“Doesn’t it make you feel a bit bad to think that your position may change because of the Tallinn Kingdom?”
“Because it doesn’t change. Even the great nobles will want to have the vice-captain by their side. You never know when the demons will attack again.”
Still, Elio’s expression did not ease.
“Since people are still, they look like bales. Why do you touch someone who is doing well?”
“Vice-captain.”
“why?”
“Didn’t I tell you before? Vice-captain said that he could not be shaken by a typhoon, but he was shaken violently by a gentle breeze. Just let it go.”
“Would you like to watch?”
“Yes, the nobles will take care of it. Compared to the rift, the Jade Lake is nothing.”
“Why are you tying me to something that is nothing? Do I look that easy?”
Elio started to get excited about what he said.
Surprised by his appearance, Fabian hurriedly calmed him down.
“Vice-captain. It’s just a rumor. Seeing that the great nobles don’t say anything, it seems like a rumor. Please do not take it unpleasantly.”
“If you do it for Count Cairne, I will destroy everything.”
“Who is that?”
“Who is who? It is the Kingdom of Tallinn.”
“Vice-captain, you must not touch Tallinn Kingdom. It’s a real big deal.”
“why?”
“About 30 percent of the grain distributed in the north came from the Kingdom of Tallinn. If the Kingdom of Tallinn doesn’t sell grain… people in the Kingdom of Escatos could starve to death one after another.”
“Looking at you, you’re pretty stupid too.”
“yes? why?”
“Look Carefully. They don’t sell grain. So what am I just watching?”
“What are you going to do?”
“What? You have to change the king to someone who wants to sell it.”
“omg! Vice-captain is changing the king of Tallinn Kingdom?”
“uh. That’s faster and easier than killing all the great nobles.”
“That’s why the sword masters of the Kingdom of Tallinn will just watch?”
“I’ve fought a sword master before. There was nothing wrong. weaker than Moloch. I am the one who killed Moloch too.”
“I understand how you feel, Vice-captain, but be patient. The king is not touching.”
“Foot! you are funny too What do you think is different about being a king? If you take it off, that guy is that guy. All people are alike.”
“If you touch the king… the great nobles will rise up like a swarm of bees. So, if you happen to take the king prisoner, he will release you for money.”
Just then, the clerks brought food into the room.
Elio looked at the food being served on the table and said.
“Fabian. Which do you think is heavier, ‘the weight of one life’ or ‘the weight of a hundred lives’?”
“Yes, of course there are one hundred.”
“If that is the life of your mother and a hundred enemy soldiers. Still, is a hundred heavier?”
“no. Of course, my mother’s life…”
Fabian slurred.
It was because he remembered that he had said a hundred people, of course.
Suddenly, Fabian realized that there was no difference between one and a hundred.
“Do you know where my sword will point?”
“But the king and the great nobles are a bit…”
“I kill all those who play with food. That is my creed.”
The faces of the clerks preparing the food hardened.
I’ve heard that it ‘kills the king and the great nobles’, so it’s understandable.
Since he said ‘I will kill anyone who plays with food’, I don’t think it’s a plot to rebel, and I don’t know what kind of situation this is.
The clerks who displayed the food without breathing sound ran away.
Fabian was bothered by them, but quickly brushed them off.
Isn’t it wrong to answer Elio’s question?
Fabian, who picked up his beer glass, asked softly.
“There may be strange rumors. Are you okay?”
“Do you think I am stupid? I was told to spread rumors.”
“Listen to Tallinn Kingdom?”
“If you have ears, you will hear. Or not. I just hate doing my hair. It was really nice when I was with my sister.”
“I guess your wife was smart?”
“My sister is not dead yet.”
“Oh sorry. I didn’t mean that.”
“She is the smartest woman in the universe. As wise as the gods.”
“This god was too much. Haven’t you ever met God?”
“Have you ever met a being called God?”
“really?”
Fabian looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with dubious eyes.
I know he is great, but it was amazing to meet a divine being.
“I exaggerate or understate a little, but I don’t lie.”
“I am envious that I met a divine being.”
“There is nothing to be ashamed of. Some of them got a harpoon in my hand.”
“Ah yes. I’m sure you’ll be fine.”
Fabian dismissed Viscount Elio Lagoa as bragging.
They say they exaggerate or reduce it, but I never thought I would use it right away.
Had the beer been half empty?
A familiar female clerk cautiously opened the door and entered.
“Miss Erica’s performance is starting soon. I have a seat outside, would you like to come out and listen?”
Fabian narrowed his eyes and asked again.
“I came to the room because there were no vacancies, but you made a seat?”
“The master told me to set up a table for the guests in the VIP room because they have a special relationship with Miss Erica. One table was left empty.”
“Oops! I’m sorry, should I go out and see this? Vice-captain, are you leaving?”
Fabian moved his hips as if he wanted to leave quickly.
Since Elio was bored anyway, he got up from his seat.
In time, the two of them took their seats in the vacant seats the owner said they had prepared—quite close to the stage.
It was when the two of them were staring at the empty stage.
The clerks diligently brought new beers and snacks to the table.
Fabian asked the clerk who brought the liquor.
“What is this? Didn’t we do more?”
“Ah, this is what our master treats to his regular customers.”
“Oh yeah? I am so grateful.”
Elio said to Fabian, who was smiling happily.
“It’s a regular. How long have you been in and out of here?”
“I brought the riders and platoon commanders. Drinks are expensive, so we take turns with one or two people. That’s what a lieutenant commander does. Vice-captain was a bit harsh in that regard. Even now, the second lieutenants refer to the vice-captain as salt.”
“Thank you for being alive thanks to that salt.”
“Yes, of course. That’s what it says.”
Meanwhile, Erica came on stage and prepared to play.
Soon after, the soft sound of the harp and Erica’s song resonated throughout the room.
Erica looked at Viscount Lagoa, Elio, between songs, but Elio never noticed.
Fabian, who couldn’t see it, said a word as if passing by.
“Miss Erica keeps looking at me, would you wave at least once?”
“If you talk like that one more time, I’ll hang up here.”
“Ah yes.”
Fabian’s mouth itched, but he held it in.
If nothing else, it was because he kept what Viscount Elio Lagoa said.
Looking back and forth between Erica and Viscount Helio Lagoa, Fabian shook his head excitedly.
I don’t know why women swarm around the wooden Viscount Elio Lagoa.
“The world is so unfair.”
Hearing Fabian’s careless words, Elio turned his head.
“Did you know that now?”
Fabian tried to explain why he did it, but kept his mouth shut.
It was because he thought that if he said something wrong, he would immediately ask about Sera’s well-being.
***
Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.
Central command and control barracks.
Four people sat across from each other at the end of a huge rectangular table.
They are the Duke of Escatos, the Marshal of the Kingdom, the Marquis of Bernardo, the Grand General, Count Colin Strong, and the Chief of Staff, Viscount Meto Robert.
The chief of staff continued the report.
“…I met Count Blood Mir, the deputy general of Raminov Kingdom. Count Mir said that the rumors circulating around Hirhera are not true. The Chief of Staff of the Kingdom of Tallinn has made such a proposal, but he has not specifically promised what to do.”
Marquis Bernardo asked as if to confirm.
“So you’re saying that Raminov and the Kingdom of Tallinn didn’t unite?”
“Yes, even Count Mir said that no one in Raminov had even mentioned the Jade Lake. The Count didn’t seem to have any intention of going against our Escatos kingdom.”
At the words of the chief of staff, Duke Escatos frowned.
“The story of Raminof and the Kingdom of Tallinn uniting to reclaim the Jade Lake is spreading in Hierhera… Didn’t Raminof even mention the Jade Lake?”
“From Count Mir’s attitude, it seems clear that Raminof gave up Jade Lake.”
Vice Admiral, Earl Colin Strong, spoke cautiously.
“It could be that the Kingdom of Tallinn is trying to create unrest. In terms of timing, these things happened after he refused Viscount Elio Lagoa’s request for punishment…”
The Chief of Staff nodded.
“Our staff members are of the same opinion. The kingdom of Tallinn would not know that the kingdom of Raminov was so aggressive in its explanation. The origin of the rumors seems to be the Kingdom of Tallinn.”
At that time, Count Ellen Parres, the leader of the Phoenix Knights of the Marquis Bernardo family, entered the barracks.
After bowing to the duke, he approached Marquis Bernardo, whispered something into his ear, and went back.
Marquis Bernardo said to Duke Escatos, who looked at him with a puzzled face.
“A little while ago, Count Victor Kern, leader of the Rage Knights of the Tallinn Kingdom, challenged Viscount Elio Lagoa to a duel.
