Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend

Chapter 191.2

Chapter 191.2

I understand Sir Welners disposition to extend a helping hand to sinners (Clara). Oh, dont get me wrong. I have no intention to touch the sister of the hero. Sir is a nobleman, and it is only natural that he should have a concubine or two. I think its a rather good move.

He seemed to think that I was only using Lily. Also, he even knew about Clara, so he must have done an investigation.

No matter what, Ive already decided to recognize this guy as an enemy, but I couldnt lash out here. I was glad my father taught me how to control emotions and make better use of them.

I intend to be involved in territorial administration for a while after the Demon King dies, so I wont be able to meet your expectations. (Welner)

Are you going to throw away the opportunity to establish your military achievements?

He asked me in deep wonder. This was a brainless military mindset. The bad news was that there were a certain number of people like him.

Zeavert is not rich enough to repeat deployments. Excuse me.

I was proud of my self-control for not saying, Get out of my way, you son of a rat.

Later, in his office, the Grand Duke laughed rather amused when he heard what I had to say.

I guess Count Yerring was a disappointment, too.

What do you mean?

I realized that my tone was getting a bit harsh, so I cooled down for a moment. The Grand Duke was still smiling at me with his eyes.

He sees you as his rival. It was also kind of a show to people around him that if the two of you end up in a quarrel, the nobles who are politically distant from him but have a grudge with you may form a connection with him.

Oh.

Some of the nobles still think that you are the leading candidate to become the groom of His Highness Laura. Many of them go around looking for faults in you.

The Grand Duke further added that new Count Yerring may have also been sincere in his desire to make a connection with me to be able to approach the heroes.

In short, it seemed that Count Yerring intended to be friendly to me if I agreed to join his faction, and if not, he intended to gather people who were overtly hostile and against me.

The most unbearable thing for people like him is to be ignored. It is the right attitude not to be provoked.

Thank you for the passing grade. So you think it was all an act?

I think he may have meant it when he said he wanted to take Mazell into battle.

I was surprised to hear that the countrys top brass had also been preoccupied with this issue for the past few days. He responded with a cool look when I told him that I had no idea.

Its not right to make you hear so much about whats going on in the center of the country, right?

You are right, sir.

Yeah, I was only the age of a student, you see. Even in terms of position, in my previous life in a company, I was at best a section chief or department head. In terms of age, I was too young to be in a position to directly ask for information at a management meeting.

But still, there were some very fishy rumors out there.

Many of the nobles have come to think like Count Yerring because of the countrys hold on Mazell-kun. They feel that we will use him to invade other nations after the Demon Kings defeat.

Wouldnt that only make other countries afraid and wary of us?

That is true. His Majesty and His Highness are aware that if these rumors continue spreading, all the other nations will be wary of us. But it is only natural that some people would be blinded by immediate gains.

The Grand Duke shrugged his shoulders in disappointment, saying that he had been so busy trying to persuade other nobles to take care of those nasty groups of nobles. He also said that another problem had arisen.

Some nobles in Delitzdam have sent a secret messenger to our country.

Delitzdam?

They want to make Her Highness Laura Queen of Delitzdam.

What?

I almost said, What are you talking about? but after listening to his explanation, the situation was more serious than I had thought.

In short, the royalty of Delitzdam are all idiots.

Sir Welner, you seem to be in a very bad mood today.

Sorry, I just accidentally spoke out what I was really thinking. However, the Grand Duke did not deny it, either, did he?

Whoever becomes the next king will not be enough to bring unity to the country, so they want to bring in a new ruler from the outside?

And by the way, it seems that there are some nobles who fell in love with Her Highness, who was accompanying the heroes group.

Stop being so jaded. It hurt my head. But then again, Laura did get a lot of publicity, didnt she? I was careless, but I see, Mazell wasnt the only one being targeted.

I tend to think that it would be only those who wished to get rid of her, but it was also expected that there would be those who wanted to take her in and use her for their own purposes. And then, a coup attempt using the power of the Bain kingdom

Some of the nobles in Delitzdam, alarmed that our country was watching them, have been selling out whatever they could and flattering the Bain kingdom. If Her Highness ascends to Delitzdams throne, it will give them the status of a brother kingdom to the Bain kingdom.

And that will stabilize Delitzdam and make them our allies?

At least, no one in our country thinks it will bring us any benefits. It would look to other countries as if the Bain kingdom had absorbed Delitzdam. That would only aggravate our diplomatic problems.

I didnt find such a description in the game, so I wasnt familiar with it, but it seemed that the Royal family was weaker in Delitzdam than in the Bain kingdom, and the nobility was stronger. So the political situation in Delitzdam was becoming more and more unpredictable.

On the other hand, we dont want our neighbors to be too united, but we also dont want them to be too chaotic.

I can relate to that.

If a neighboring country were to become unstable, the demon army may take advantage of that and cause another outbreak of refugees to flow into our country, no matter how big a country the Bain kingdom may be, the financial burden would be ridiculous.

It seemed that the upper echelons of the government, led by His Majesty, were in a great hurry to confirm the domestic situation of the other countries, decide how to respond to the situation and make the necessary arrangements.

Well, for now, it didnt have anything to do with me.

Let us hope that the matter would be settled as soon as possible.

Yeah. Next, regarding the issue you were dealing with

Yes.

I wouldnt be able to handle diplomatic issues and such, but please give me information that directly relates to me that I didnt know about.
