144 Sometimes, My Grandfather Talks Too.

"... and you can't possibly tolerate our deal with Heim."

Sighing loudly, Warren told Ralph this.

"A deal can't be done without someone you can trust. The bigger it gets, the more influence it will have."

"You...! Licking people is rough, too!

Tiggle gets up and raises his voice before Ralph complains.

Then he pops out in front of the desk, pointing his finger at Warren.

"What is your attitude in intercountry exchanges! Are you unwilling to take this seriously against us Heim!

Tiggle tells us in a strong tone what Heim was thinking.

If this happens, Elena, who was going to stop, can't even open her mouth.

"You went all the way out here and you're willing to reconcile with us!?

Warren looks surprised when she hears it.

"... this is, I'm surprised"

In a heartfelt surprise, Warren answered Tiggle.

On the other hand, I'm used to seeing Warren, from the Istarians, and that just seemed like an act.

"We Ishtarika have not come to make a settlement...?

"What... what did you say?

Tiggle, distracted, wonders if he mishears, asks Warren again.

"So we Ishtalika are not willing to settle with Heim"

"I'm not willing to reconcile...?

"Yep. 'Cause you do, don't you? I can't even keep a serious bond. To give you, stand in the way of us and Euro's friendship.... Why, do we need to reconcile?

Tiggle, who has lost momentum just now, talks to Warren with a weakened voice.

"But! I guess Ishtarika wants sea crystals!? If we think about the future, we need reconciliation... --"

"You sure want it. But that problem is on the way to a solution. The sea crystals obtained in Euro have yielded sufficient results and do not have to rely on other countries."

Had a national relationship with Heim was so necessary that Ishtalika could get her hands out of her throat, sea crystals being a major factor.

Now that it doesn't matter, you don't have to bother to have an edge with Heim.

So far, the national dealings with Euro had borne fruit.

Besides, we don't have to rely on sea crystals to develop good technology.

We have been moving on since Ein came to Ishtarika, but if we add that too, we will have no need to rely on Heim.

"Do you understand?

One thing, Ishtarika has no merit.

That's why I don't care what happens with Heim.

If we were to change the way we say it, Ishtarika could even say that she had come to liquidate her previous grievances.

... I guess it was a demonstration that brought the fleet here.

"The hang-up is a word from His Royal Highness Prince Wang. When we heard it, we and His Majesty shared our feelings."

"Oh, hey! That would be weird......? The words you say are like a relationship with us…"

The moment Tiggle started predicting.

One man stops Warren.

And the man, staring at Tiggle from the front, opened his mouth for the first time in this meeting.

"Third prince. I would have noticed..."

His name is Silvard.

It is the absolute being of Ishtarika and the modern king of Ishtarika.

As Silvard's gaze shot through the tiggle, that tiggle also took an unconscious step back.

"This is the last meeting. We're here to end your relationship with Heim completely."

A line of Heim with such illusions, as if the air were gushing.

Is this the king of the great kingdom, Ishtarika... and every word goes heavy on my body?

"Heh, Your Majesty... the other person is me --"

"Good. Warren, let me talk to you later."

Keeping Warren down with his hands, Silvard continued.

"Third prince. Answer the rest of the questions."

"Huh..."

Tiggle nodded and replied, even though Silvered gave him barometric pressure.

"In what position did you point your finger at my Prince Wang and say something like that?

"Or something like that...?

"You'll see. If the Lord asks other nations to be thankful, then do not have the Lord's attitude. Because Ein is the King Prince. I'm not in the same position as the Third Prince."

It was true.

Tiggle is still not in a position like Prince Wang. In other words, they are in a lower position than Ein.

"Are there any mistakes in the rest of the words?

"… no"

"I'm not asking you to apologize for being rude. However, your Lord's words are a little deaf. If you're a futile child who doesn't understand the logic of things, it's the same thing when you judge yourself."

"... Huh!

He clenched his fists in both hands and applied his strength to the point where his nails ate into his skin.

Tiggle would have been impatient if he hadn't.

"If you understand, go back to your seats. If we go any further, my knight will wave his sword."

Hearing that, Lloyd approached Silvard.

I didn't stare, but I stare at Tiggle with a sharp eye.

Thanks to the loose clothes, his feet were hidden, but Tiggle's feet were shaking quietly.

For the first time, the awesomeness of a man named Marshal of Ishtarika pierces Tiggle straight through.

"... (a) Ishtalika did not commit acts of war"

Tiggle sues like this, hiding his trembling legs.

But still, I took great care not to let my legs move forward.

"There's nothing to set up from us. But if the Lord goes any further and comes this way, we must be vigilant."

"I don't know what that means......! How could you be so vigilant about me?

"This is ridiculous. We are not even allies, unless we are friends. If you describe the relationship, the enemy country is the closest relationship, right?

Warren talks to Tiggle in a hurry.

"Those in that enemy country are approaching. I was wondering if you couldn't be more alert."

"Gu...... that's just a convenient interpretation!

Speak out an excuse for misery, but that doesn't work.

"Even if it was, you wouldn't mind anything else. Our thoughts are ours. There are no muscles directed to other countries."

—— Not if you care about the situation anymore.

Elena thinks so, stands up to stop Tiggle, and raises her voice.

If I let you do more than that, it could really be just in case.

"Your Highness! Please come back once, please......!

"Elena!?...... come on!

Tiggle faces bitterly and returns to his seat.

The footsteps were heavy, and he had such an unpleasant look on his face that he wondered if he had even had a single drink instead of chewing down the bitter bug.

In other words, Tiggle returned to his seat, dyeing his face bright red, in a completely defeated form.

"But was the out-of-the-box Ishtarika also narrow?"

Make sure my son gets to his seat, and now Ralph speaks.

I didn't mean to take his revenge, but I was disgusted by the circumstances in which he was licked.

"If you want to completely cut off the edge with us, you can keep quiet and cut off the national traffic. I mean, what was the word we used to say when we got people together in this place all the time?"

Ralph spoke to Silvard in a voice as if laughing with his nose.

Depending on the recipient, you will be convinced that the current words are correct as well.

But the Ishtarika side doesn't go through with it at all, it just sits on the spot with a calm face.

When Ralph finishes his talk, after a few seconds, Warren opens his mouth.

"... for just one woman, running all over the continent. What a beautiful story."

To this word, Ralph as well as Tiggle reacted.

"To make a request and give to an adventurer as well, force a certain country to sneak a letter. No, what a hassle some people had..."

"... you said Warren. You, shut your mouth --"

Ralph exposed his dissatisfaction to words that were clearly referring to Heim.

"From what I've heard, tax increases were overlaid for that as well. Anyway, the fee for an adventurer is very high. I was desperate to find it because it's an understandable story."

Ralph tries to open his mouth, but Warren says the words without stopping.

"I'm sure the people have been poor. Because the prince is in love, and the prince is coming to us."

I meant to be sarcastic, but I was replied to in twice that amount of words.

To that fact Ralph dyes his face red, just like his son Tiggle.

"... and well, there are countries like this. No matter how mean we are, it's not a big deal."

At the end of the day, I laughed and didn't say a word that would curse me.

Ralph, who wanted to answer something, can't think of a word, just leaks his voice as he roars.

"... nothing, words aren't the only strength, are they? It's Warren."

Then, you calm down a little, Tiggle mixes in with the conversation.

"It's not just words, what?

Earlier, Tiggle talks confidently, as if to hide Ralph's deception.

"Don't you want to see it? Our general, the strength of Logus."

When I say it like this, I point to Logus with my hand.

"No, thank you."

"You will, you will...... That's fine!?

"Yeah, I said fine. I'm not even interested..."

I don't care, just don't say that, I'll return the word the way Warren cooled down.

But behind Silvard, Lloyd was staring at Warren with sad eyes.

For a moment, Lloyd thought it was his turn to fill his heart with joy.

Even so, I'm lightly denied, and I show my eyes like that.

"Assuming we competed for the sword, does it make sense?

"Yes, what's the point... we'll be able to show each other strength!

"Was it Master Left? If so, I'm not more interested. Even if Lord Logus is strong, we don't need much information."

"Become...!?

This is what it would be like to be silent.

For the first time in his life, Tiggle got stuck in words so far.

"But Prince Tiggle wants to compete for strength?

"Ugh, um! Exactly!

Oh, my God, you're breaking it.

While Tiggle thought of it that way.

"If you're competing for power, I have a better idea. We have fleets with each other, and I was wondering if we could compete there."

"... what?

What did he say now? Use that fleet and compete with it?

On Tiggle's mind, the upset ran.

Reminds me of Ishtarika's fleet, which I've seen since I got to the island.

That's a big shock to Tiggle, even if it just reminds me.

"Bullshit, don't be stupid! You can't possibly do that!

It's also natural for Tiggle to say this.

Heim does not have the means to counter Ishtarika's battleships.

When he arrived on the island, Tiggle, though strong in words, could not agree with this.

"Why is that? They compete for power, don't they?

"I didn't mean to compete, but the damage wasn't too great!

"Even a duel, accidental accidents are tough. In the same thing?

"So! It would be on a different scale!

Tiggle today, he's just shouting out loud.

I'm gonna let you do that. Look at Warren, he's just getting frustrated.

"Assuming, then, that Lord Logus doesn't mind being seriously injured? I don't know what's going to happen."

"Goddamn it... that's... whoa!

Even in duels, accidents are normal.

In the unlikely event that Logus dies, that would also be a huge pain for Heim.

"If that's not possible, isn't fleet still good for each other? Why doesn't the fleet accept each other?

In response to Warren staring strangely, Tiggle lowers his voice and gives his answer.

"So that's a lot of damage..."

"Big damage? Don't worry about us."

"It's not your problem! It's a matter of this damage!

--… a silence.

Elena was listening to this conversation and noticed Tiggle's silence.

With his own mouth, he has admitted that he is inferior.

Words were skilfully guided, and words were drawn out as Warren wanted to do.

It would be a difference in narrative.

The way Warren talks is always spoken of in nature.

I guess that's why I open my mouth to respond, too, quite honestly.

"Oh. I see, I see"

Warren, having heard the words, smiles the most today.

"If there's a" war difference, "there's no choice. Indeed, there is no point in a non-competitive competition… there was not enough consideration"

Tiggle pondered the objection, but this was due to his own rudeness.

Finally, I couldn't open my mouth.

"Hmm......! Our strength is on land. There's no point in fighting at sea."

"Yeah, I know you. King Heim."

Try not to think about the fleet, and Ralph starts claiming strength on land.

Warren smiled thirsty as the storyteller kept changing and not busy.

"Hehe...... you bet, you bet. Because we are the kingdoms that reign on the continent."

"Of course, I know you."

He smiles like he can hold his opponent, and Warren answers.

"Actually, we're confident, too. Anyway, the continent Ishtal is several times the size of the surrounding continent."

Even when it comes to the surrounding continents, that's only one thing.

What Warren suggests is definitely about the continent where Heim exists.

"From the time His Majesty united the continent, we have also been very good at fighting on land."

In addition to that, there have been demon king disturbances in the past.

The knights can't be weak.

"Then even in mock warfare --"

The arrowhead thing Ralph tried to suggest that he was interested in riding, even in a mock fight.

"Your Majesty. I don't know unless it's an actual battle, such as a land battle. But mock warfare won't be enough to show our true strength."

"(b), Logus...... Well, you're right, if you ask me."

"So let's give it another chance."

It was Logus who opened his mouth.

The next moment was when I tried to propose a mock fight.

When Logus said this, he stopped Ralph from proposing a mock fight.

Meanwhile, look at Ralph, who honestly obeyed Logus' words, and you can see well the degree of trust he has on his way to Logus.

"... ho"

It's Warren who sees it with a surprised face.

Warren was going to say no, even if they suggested a mock fight.

But before Ralph could suggest it, Logus went into a stop, and Warren realized one thing.

—— Did you see the movement of the Kingsguard and understand the power?

I think I have eyes to see if I can just serve as a general.

Apparently, you're not becoming a frog in the well at Heim.

... If I could, I would have liked you to be concerned about Ain and not Wu.

This is how Warren evaluated Logus.
