Anhalt, who is ardently arguing that the nobles should appoint Friedrich as their commander-in-chief.

Seeing him like this, Count Thurne once again began to feel admiration and joy for his son’s abilities.

‘I would have predicted this situation. He said that while he was away from home, he had seen the flow of the world, so those words were not just empty words.’

To be honest, when I first heard this from Santana, he was dubious.

At any rate, he thought it would be impossible to appoint Friedrich as commander-in-chief here in Bohemia, aside from himself.

However, as he listened to his son’s words… that is, a summary of what Anhalt was excitedly talking about, Count Turnen could only automatically nod his head,

Now it was actually happening right in front of his eyes.

‘But… no matter how much I thought I could read the current trend this far… Is this really my son? I wasn’t very trustworthy when I was young, but now I’ve grown up to be frighteningly good.’

Feeling reassured as a father once again,

Watching Anhalt, who was slowly finishing the process of persuading the nobles, Count Thurn calmly opened his mouth.

“Certainly… from many points of view, it seems right for His Highness Friedrich to be the commander-in-chief of this war.”

“Bae.. Count?”

Surprisingly, Count Turnen’s words obediently responded without resistance.

The nobles who supported him began to show embarrassment, but…

In response, Count Turnen said with a calm smile on his lips.

“What are you so surprised about, we are at war now. Wouldn’t there be no reason to refuse when you can reap great benefits by giving up your little ego?”

“But it…”

“Moreover, just looking at his rank, His Highness Frederick holds a higher position as the Elector Count than not only me but everyone here. Even in principle, it is right that he be the commander-in-chief.”

“Uh…

“If the Count said so…”

The rest of the nobles who could no longer resist due to Turnen’s ‘concession’.

However, although he did not show it on the outside, many people here at this moment were feeling considerable surprise at the appearance of Thurn who obediently gave up the position of commander-in-chief.

‘I never thought Count Turnen would give up his seat with a smile…’

‘If it was like before, I would have fought a war of nerves while being angry like fire..’

‘It could have been a knife fight instead of a war of nerves? Still, such a reaction…’

‘This is all because my son came back. Ever since Sir Santana came back, you’ve been living with your mouth on your ears, haven’t you?’

‘As expected, even Count Turnen, like that lion, can’t help it in front of his son..’

Once again, the nobles accepted this situation while reminding themselves once again that Count Thurne had been harmed a lot in recent years.

at that time..

“However, in exchange for handing over the position of commander-in-chief, I also want to make one request to Your Highness.”

“A request… what is that?”

In their ears, unlike before, they began to hear Turnn’s voice, which was tinged with his usual stubbornness.

A question was asked on behalf of Friedrich, who seemed lost in thought.

“As I said, I will give up the title of Commander-in-Chief to Your Highness. However, this is only to fulfill the cause Lord Anhalt said, and the right to lead the Bohemian army in this war cannot be handed over.”

“?!

In other words, Turnun’s declaration that we will hand over the signboard of the commander-in-chief, but we will not actually follow your command.

In response to this, Anhalt began to show embarrassment, but to this, Thurn answered with a firm voice.

“It is a pity, Lord Anhalt, that we cannot follow your… No, Highness Friedrich’s command. A decision that could lower the odds even a little is unacceptable to me as the lord, who has to take real responsibility in this war.”

“Ha.. but.. if that happens, it will be a hindrance to the overall strategy..’

In fact, Anhalt as a politician can be seen as having his own abilities, but everyone could not help but tilt their heads at Anhalt’s skills as a general.

Turnon’s words that hit the facts like that

Regarding this, Anhalt began to struggle to refute in any way.

That moment..

“Well… that’s good, let’s do that.”

“!. Me… Your Highness?”

Friedrich’s words suddenly began to be heard.

Anhalt’s face hardened at his sudden action.

Then, Frederick looked at Count Thurn’s face and said, ignoring his servant’s attitude.

“As Count Thurn said, we are at war now. It is the right thing to focus on the big gains rather than the small egos. In that respect, it would be right for the Count of Thurn to command the Bohemia army rather than me or Lord Anhalt, who have little experience.”

“Thank you for accepting my request, Your Highness.”

“Kuh… ”

The meeting was concluded by Friedrich’s words.

In connection with this, Anhalt’s face began to reveal an unconcealable bewilderment.

On the other hand, Santana’s face, who was watching this, began to show relief and a little surprise.

‘I knew it would happen like this, but… it’s still surprising, isn’t it? I never thought that Friedrich would help me like this…’

Anhalt Christian

Ever since he came to Boheia, he has been feeling perplexed in many ways at the unexpected twists and turns of the situation.

‘Why the hell is this happening… and how is the situation going?’

During his first visit here with Friedrich, Anhalt assumed that everything was going according to plan.

A huge heretical alliance he formed.

If Bohemia, which is in charge of one of the axes, could be fully obtained, Frederick would be the one who owned the largest and most powerful territory among the electors of the Holy Empire.

If the power of the heretical alliance he had formed was added to this, it would be possible to bring down the emperor in the southern part of the empire.

However, his grand plan was going awry little by little due to an unexpected variable named Santana.

As the eldest son with a legitimate right of succession, he is the only one who abandons Anhalt’s first plan.

At least it could be dismissed as simply bad luck up to this point, but the problem was next.

The beginnings began when his masters, Friedrich and Santana, quickly became close to each other.

Considering that they were aristocratic men of the same age, it was perhaps natural for the two of them to build friendships.

In addition, from Anhalt’s point of view, it became impossible to completely take over Bohemia anyway.

Rather, in the sense of continuing a strong alliance, the friendship itself could be viewed positively.

However.. the problem was that his owner’s appearance began to change little by little as he got closer to the person named Santana.

Friedrich, the owner of Anhalt and who showed almost unconditional consent to his words.

But… after coming here, Friedrich began to show signs of refusing his words little by little, or barely giving his consent after digging into a little more detail.

Of course, strictly speaking, about Friedrich’s change in attitude. ‘If you’re the original monarch, you should take this look.’ I couldn’t help but look at it negatively.

The reason why Anhalt took charge of Friedrich’s education in the first place. Because there was a wish of Friedrich’s mother for him to have this appearance.

From that point of view, as a teacher, Anhalt should look at Friedrich’s unexpected ‘growth’ positively, but…

From Anhalt’s point of view, not just as a teacher, but as a chancellor trying to make an emperor. In many ways, this change in Friedrich was a major hindrance to his work.

‘At such an important time, not at any other time. To think that His Highness would show such a change at this time, right before the battle with that emperor. This… is really not good in many ways.’

Due to the immediate change in Friedrich, some issues that had to be dealt with in Anhalt prior to the war could not be achieved, which, naturally, was the benefit they were trying to take by bringing the army.

To be precise, at the same time as winning the war, he made it impossible to obtain the necessary parts to make Friedrich emperor.

Among them, what was particularly fatal was the matter that had occurred at the previous meeting.

Although he succeeded in bringing the position of Commander-in-Chief, he did not bring command.

And this meant that the relatively small Palatinate army had to follow the direction of the Bohemian army commanded by Turn.

Even in the process, they even openly admitted that they lacked military capabilities, so they can no longer even reverse this.

In this case, Anhalt’s plan to increase Frederick’s power by borrowing Bohemia’s army turned into a direction of strengthening Bohemia’s prestige by borrowing Frederick’s name.

‘It’s not good at this rate.. Even if we win, it could end up being a rip-off.. I think we’ll have to do something.. But now that the war is right around the corner, it’s too dangerous to do anything unreasonable..’

At that time, when Anhalt was suffering in a complicated mood in many ways…

“Ah… Prime Minister!”

“?”

The attendant’s voice was heard urgently, and a suspicious expression appeared on Anhalt’s face…

Then, it began to change into a thick shock as it was.

“This… what does this mean?”
