And a week later.
Duke Philolence gathered generals from the Milanese Union and the Reich Empire and held a banquet.
Gorgeous lighting, food sprinkled with expensive spices, beautiful music, and dignitaries wearing clothes richly embroidered with luxurious decorations.
Although Duke Philolence, the host, had not yet arrived at this banquet, which was well-equipped with everything necessary for a victory celebration banquet, the atmosphere seemed already ripe.
“Regent Andrea, we, the Milan Alliance, will immediately come to help Philolence if he falls into crisis without charging any compensation.”
“Is that so? As expected, His Majesty the Duke of Milan and others in the alliance are faithful. Although he is lacking, he is truly trustworthy as the person in charge of part of the politics of the Principality of Philorence.”
“If there was no good faith, how could the Milanese Union have continued for 250 years? “Our union is prepared to take on any risk to save our member countries.”
When I heard that story, I laughed at those two.
Because in this war, the Milanese Allied Forces made virtually no contribution to the war, let alone played a proper role. I would not have received anything except a minimal gift in return.
What you say when you say that you failed to achieve even a single achievement due to repeated failures in combat before you know it, is a spiritual victory disguised as good faith.
Besides, our Regent Andrea would be thinking this while applauding and pretending to sympathize, right?
‘I made a secret pact with Captain Peter Jaeger that if you leave here, you will join the Empire. ‘You stupid bastard.’
Damn, just thinking about it is so absurd and funny that I feel like I’m losing all control over my facial expressions.
While I was watching the non-comic conversation between those two, the main door to the banquet room opened and Duke Philolence came in.
“Be polite! “This is from Duke Philolence!”
At those words, everyone, including me, stopped talking for a moment and bowed our heads in respect until the duke sat in the best seat in the banquet room.
“Get up, today is a very pleasant day, so everyone can enjoy it informally. Also, there may have been some who suffered somewhat due to their instincts during the long war.”
At the same time as those words were spoken, slender and pretty women in thin dresses came in and were assigned one by one to those who participated.
“Once you get drunk, these are the people who will comfortably guide the distinguished guests attending this banquet to their beds. Now then...”
the duke shouted, raising his glass high in the sky.
“A toast to our gratitude for the efforts of the Reich Empire and Milan Union who came to save our country from crisis!”
Everyone who participated in the banquet responded by raising their wine glasses so vigorously that the wine in the glasses sloshed around.
“For the prosperity of the Duchy of Philollens and the eternal faith of the Union!”
“For the unwavering and unwavering alliance between the Reich Empire and the Duchy of Philollens.”
“I hope that the Federation and Empire Philolence will become one and fight against any danger!”
Everyone drank the wine in their glasses at once, and the full-fledged banquet began.
The nobles of Philorence, the Allied Imperial Army of Milan, enjoyed endless servings of wine and food and chatted with each other in all sorts of strange ways.
“Do you think the Milan Alliance will just sit by and watch your atrocities!?”
“If you release us now, your rotten neck will be saved!”
So, what can these drunken bastards without a knife and wandering around do?
And the people here are all people who usurped the duke’s position and instead of offering it to Andrea, they tried to get a huge amount of profit in return.
Even though they killed everyone, they still have nothing to say.
“Knights of the Empire, kill all those traitors who tried to destroy the order of the Principality of Philolence.”
The ordered knights drew their swords and pointed them at Captain Giuseppe and the others, cutting them to death one by one.
And, although I don’t think they intended it, when only Captain Giuseppe and Regent Andrea were left alive in this place.
I decided to put them on their knees and kill them with my sword.
On the other hand, Giuseppe showed that he accepted his fate and was prepared to die, so he sent him off by slitting his head with one blow. On the other hand, the regent continued to use evil and make a fuss around him.
“You bastard Peter Yeager! Yes, you bastard Uriel! You bastards of a dirty whore! How dare you think you can protect the country even by killing my uncle and regent! “If you had obediently handed over the title of duke to me, I would have let you live in peace with Chloe in a corner of the countryside!”
When the Duke saw the scene, he made no reply, but his eyes contained only contempt and disdain for his uncle.
“Please send Captain Jaeger in peace. Still, he was my uncle and regent.”
I wanted to kill this guy by cutting off his limbs, but since the duke who was involved said that, I couldn’t help it.
I raised the knife, pointed it at his neck, and said.
“If you die without even being able to go through the final confession, your soul will be thrown into the very bottom of hell. “With your family who will soon die and follow you.”
“Save me! Fuck! “I will give you all my property and everything!”
Anyone who dares to usurp the title of duke will die proudly like Giuseppe.
“Look carefully, Your Majesty the Duke. When ruling a country, a monarch sometimes has to get his hands dirty. And please don’t forget that that target could be your family, just like now.”
At the same time as I said those words, I lifted the regent’s head off my shoulder.
And that night, he advised the mercenaries among the Milanese allied forces remaining in the castle to leave the castle immediately if they did not want to die.
The mercenaries who found out the whole story realized that if they were to be stigmatized for helping their uncle in his crazy attempt to usurp the duke’s title, their ransom would drop significantly, and if they were caught holding on for no reason, they would be exterminated, so they all immediately fled.
Of course, all of the Milanese militia were captured or killed for the crime of being under the wrong man’s command.
With this, I succeeded in completely protecting Philolence.
It was a very long and grueling war, but it was a very rewarding war with more than its own achievements.
