Common Sense of a Warrior

In a quiet room, suddenly a knock sounds.

Coming into the room was the alf of the decree that had come with me from the Duke of Almeria's house.

"Thank you.... how was it?

"No problem. We are able to ensure the safety of the accommodation"

Alf's words give me peace of mind.

I howled and exhaled the breath I was packing.

"Right. After all, you're reliable."

"... if it is my mission to create a comfortable environment for my husband"

I look at Alf bowing my head respectfully and laugh out loud.

"Sure, checking for all the food and beverage poisons and lurkers in the inn for my husband is a 'comfortable environment'."

Alf won't deny my words.

It just gives me a gentle grin.

"Thanks to you, this is how I forgive you. Thank you so much, Alf."

"Naturally."

"Naturally, huh? I'm really afraid for your abilities.... Well, I'm sorry I'm tired, but can you make me some tea?

"Yeah, sure."

While Alf brews the tea, I turn my back on the window and take a seat.

"... you kept a very serious view of the scenery, but you seem to remember the country?

"No... I just wanted to make sure I burned what the guys I'm going to meet are carrying into these eyes. I wish I knew a little more about them before I met them..."

"... were you left"

"The country thing...... well, I'm a little worried, but Louis would do something about it. Some of my men are here. Leave the mansion to Aurelia in the first place and you'll have no problems."

Softly, Alf serves warm tea.

I swallowed it without hesitation.

"Yeah, yummy"

Alf was grinning deeply at my words.

"Tomorrow the House of the Duke of Grindle and the House of the Duke of Filling, huh?...... Alf"

Point your gaze at Alf.

That's all, Alf nodded and opened his mouth just to say he understood.

The word that comes out of his mouth is information about the Duke of Grindle's house.

...... Duke of Grindle.

One of the five Grand Dukes of the Principality of Limmel, the Duke family possesses a vast and rich territory in the Northwest.

Asset size is one of the best of the five Dukes' houses, and the land is rich in cold weather and grows climate-friendly crops, thus maintaining food self-sufficiency above a constant level.

Also famous for its distinctive weave, the cloth from the territory of the Duke of Grindle becomes popular both domestically and internationally.

Our Lord is Maurice Grindle.

His wife's name is Lynette Grindle and between the two, the child is one boy.

Maurice is clean, white, rigid, decisive and reputable.

"... the formula that in the Northwest, even if the invasion of the Kingdom of Tasmeria is successful, the human damage suffered by war is greater than profit"

Pinch your mouth so as to block Alf's words.

"In addition, Maurice Grindle is more than willing to think of the people, and if it were him, he would take the avoidance of futile strife. … although this is only a subjective observation of the informant"

Alf gave him an immediate reaction.

"I see.... What is the difference in military power between the five Dukes' houses?

"It is proportional to the difference in asset holdings. Grindle Sligger Filling Crow and Baskal in turn from the top. Simply on the number, if there is a civil war between moderates and impostors, moderates are more advantageous, and our country has about 10% more military power than the Duchy of Limmel, which adds up the whole family."

"Right.... If so, aren't the enforcers pushing for military expansion?

"An agreement between the five Dukes rather than the laws of the Principality of Limmel… does not make it possible to carry out a pronounced military expansion. However, apparently the Duke of Sliger family is going in secret."

"Well... well"

"It doesn't mean we should just collect numbers, though. We need training accordingly, so I was wondering if it would take a little while to be able to fight as an army. Conversely, the Duke of Grindle family has many military and uncounted people who can fight to some extent"

"What does that mean?

"Traditionally, we encourage people to learn martial arts. Not merely as a technique of killing each other, but to strengthen the body and build your own mind. As a result, both boys and girls have been trained since childhood."

To that word, I associate Marquis Anderson.

Even in the Marquis Anderson territory, there were martial arts training grounds everywhere, since the Marquis Anderson family, who ruled the territory from generation to generation, was a martial arts prestige.

And that's why the Marquis Anderson escort is stronger than that in the rest of the house.

"That's not... from the Duke of Sliger."

"Yes, because it is also possible to see the reserve as abundant."

"Maybe that's why the extra Duke of Sliger is in a hurry"

"Yeah... I was wondering if that's likely enough"

"By the way, did mercenaries come and go frequently at the Duke of Sliger's house?

"No... the last time I was seen was four or five years ago"

"Right..."

For a moment I've been thinking about integrating what I've been talking about.
