Chapter 1.3 Survival Strategy. If it’s a dream for the second time, it’s a dream
[TL:By Mr Max]◇[PR:By ACE]
This is the month of April, the kingdom has been established for 500 years … this is about three years ago before the nightmare took place ?”
I once died and my territory was destroyed.
if I think about that as a reality.
Then looking at the newspaper.
Today’s front-page article states that the cleanup of a major event in the royal capital has ended.
“Well, by the way, now・ ・ ・It was around the time when the purge was over. “
Klein’s territory is not in the countryside, but it is not so urban.
Due to the halfway position, the central information is transmitted with a slight delay.
Even newspapers are not up to date.
So there is a slight time lag with the actual date.
But even if he didn’t know the exact date, he remembered the turmoil itself.
About a month ago from today, the second prince and the first princess.
In addition, several relatives of the king were poisoned.
“Oh, I know. The purge was over successfully-I think there’s another upheaval? I don’t know what happened.”
The territory of Asgard was peaceful, even if there was a fuss up and down in the royal capital.
Like Klein today, as he is spending the same peaceful days.
Anyway, I learned about this incident at that time・ ・ ・All Klein did was order a tightening of security in his territory.
“In the distance, the people above the clouds are fighting.”*
[TL- Far from his reach or in the future people way stronger and higher than him are fighting]
With that feeling, for Crane in the past, this was an incident that he didn’t even notice.
So he won’t know the details.
But now he knows that this has to do with the destruction of Asgard territory.
this・ ・If that is the reality, the first thing to do is to sort out the current situation.
With that in mind, Klein writes.
“Some noble houses have absorbed the land and interests of the purged noble houses. The problem should reignite after a year or so.”
At the royal palace around this time, there was a muddy battle over who would be the next king.
It seems that it was a daily occurrence such as an assassination plan.
While saying such a fact, Klein organizes the information.
“I thought it was an attack from the first prince to the second prince, but it seems that the first prince was also poisoned and was in critical condition for a while.
The situation is that the princes are annihilated.
With the recovery of the First Prince, the battle for the throne had come to an end.
However, problems still occur after this.
Because the power struggle over the next king has been settled.
In addition to confiscating property from those who seemed to be the main culprit in the royal assassination case.
–Originally, he stole the property of the house that belonged to the Second Prince faction.
With the blame. Although not large in scale, it has developed into a civil war.
That is the story that Klein saw and heard in the future.
“So, the plan of the rebellion came to an end, and the second purge happened. When some houses gained more strength finally it will lead to that day.”
The incident one month ago.
And the next purge.
both cases made Marquis Laguna grow significantly.
Their enemies were declining.
Marquis swallowed the entire aristocratic territory and the interests of the merchants.
“Well, I wouldn’t dare to touch such a conspiracy.”
In addition to the Laguna family, there are several other noble houses that have clearly benefited from the purge and civil war.
It smelled like an outright conspiracy, as even Crane, who is not familiar with politics, could tell.
He didn’t feel like sticking his head in it.
All that matters is Klein’s territory.
“I’m not interested in the royal capital. The basic policy is …”
Taking the pen, Klein writes down his thoughts.
After a few minutes, the policy is decided.
“1. I will not die.
2. I will prevent the annihilation of my territory. 3. I will not destroy the territory.”
Four, the Marquis of Laguna is bogged down. I tried to add.
At present, there is tens of times difference in total troop strength, and it will be even wider in three years.
I concluded that revenge is practically difficult because of the difference in the productivity of the territories.
So roughly.
Grab a happy future where no one will die.
I made this policy.
“No, but this. Isn’t it clogged up anymore …?”
There is too much difference in soil strength between the Viscounts and the Marquis.
Where Klein did his best in domestic affairs.
he couldn’t even see a future that could beat the Marquis of Laguna, let alone a future where Marquis could be stalled.
Whether in commerce or agriculture.
Whether it’s troops or status.
I can’t think of anything where I can win.
“If you don’t do anything, you’re in a situation where I have to wait for the destruction …. Hmm, what to do?”
Klein was worried because he couldn’t see a solution.
Even if he groaned in front of my desk for tens of minutes, he couldn’t come up with a good idea.
It’s about noon, and I’m clogged up with my thoughts and look out the window.
On the table, Marie and several other maids were doing the laundry in the garden.
“Hey, Tom-san! Please stop!”
“Haha, Marie so nostalgic.”
“Wow, you are laughing at me… oh! Stop it!”
When Tom, a merchant, is having a small talk with one of the maids.
It seems that his horse was playing with Marie’s head poking his nose at her.
Petite Marie was in trouble because she shook her body every time she was pushed by the tip of the horse’s nose.
“… It’s peaceful.”
If you are a nobleman of the royal capital, you might be able to get rid of your servant if you see this scene.
Surrounded by unexplored forests on the south side of the territory, it is a normal sight in the countryside atmosphere of Asgard territory.
It seems that there were many leisurely shops from successive lords.
It was a land pattern governed by a nobleman who was friendly to his people and friendly to his servants.
“No, Marie. I was angry at you slacking again.”
“What do you mean? I didn’t slack .”
Apart from Klein, No one could blame her for slacking.
he doesn’t care if she is chatting while washing.
The only strict member of the Viscount family is Klaus, the head butler.[TL: The Buttler]
“Hmm … I’ll get fat moderately.”
“Rude! That much・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・Then you won’t get fat! “
The conversation heard from the front and the flowing air are peace itself.
He was caught by it and laughed unintentionally.
“Marie is getting a scolding for slacking “.
The territory will be destroyed three years later.
No one would have even dreamed about that.
Only Klein can do something.
After reaffirming it, he stretched his hands and went to the desk again.
“I have to do something …. Well, what should I do?”
Klein, who was involved in a sudden war and saw a shocking sight that made her memories jump.
While relaxing in the exchange in the garden.
It seems that it has finally settled down in the true sense of the word.
“If this is a dream, it can be a dream.That・ ・If that is the reality, you can be as happy as you are in your dreams. “
Maybe it’s because I got rid of my thoughts and my head was refreshed.
I was getting more ideas than before.
And a few minutes later.
Klein takes action as soon as he comes up with a good idea.
“Yes, let’s get married.”
