Not much later than when Ain had come out of Winterfell, a man in a black robe entered the palace on the western outskirts of Thelsen, King of Ressel, through a side door.

A maid had already waited in the side door as if she had received an order.

Is this really human?

The moment she saw the black-robed man, the maid felt that fear and chill rise in her heart, not to mention the courage to look at this person.

"Let's go." A deep voice woke up the frightened maid, who trembled and made a gesture of please.

……

"Your Majesty, that's all the Speaker has set for you, and the final decision is still in your hands. But I think that the situation in the northwest, I don't need to say that Your Majesty is also very clear. ”

Sitting on the top seat, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, is a middle-aged man. But unlike the spirit of ordinary people who have reached middle age, this majesty seems to be a little sluggish.

"I also hope that Your Majesty will seriously consider it. Retire first. The black-robed man politely saluted the lord of the kingdom of Reesel, although in his heart, he had the pride of being a Drew - in the face of this ancient kingdom that had gradually decayed, Drew, who had only recently acquired the national structure, already had an overwhelming advantage.

The king seemed to be still looking at the copy of the terms given by Ambassador Drew, and was a little absent-minded, and the queen, who was standing aside, asked a maid to escort the ambassador out of the palace.

"Your Majesty......" The queen looked at her husband's expression, a little worried, she didn't know how to speak, she could only call her husband affectionately.

"Judy, my queen." When the king of Rysel heard his wife's call, he seemed to come to his senses, "This damned armistice—a treaty that I can't take as an armistice treaty—if I agree to it, I'll be a sinner for Rysel." ”

The middle-aged king, who was already a little old, couldn't help but become a little more decadent.

"Convene an impromptu pilgrimage." After a long time, with a sigh, the middle-aged king got up from his seat and straightened his clothes.

……

……

"With such a treaty, you ministers and nobles still want to agree to end this war as soon as possible?" The king, having heard the opinions of those ministers and nobles, could not help but rise from his throne and roar.

"Spring ploughing? The country will not be a country, this so-called spring ploughing, that is, you can get the last bit of oil and water from your own fiefdom, right? Don't think I don't know what you've done all these years. ”

The ministers and nobles in the lower row looked at the king who had entered a state of rage, and then looked at each other, and suddenly did not dare to squeak.

"Your Majesty Philip, perhaps you can use the agreed treaty as a delay to wait for the recruitment of veterans from all over the country to be completed before counterattacking." After the silence, the first to speak was the prime minister of the kingdom, although this prime minister did not have a prominent title, but he had a hidden background that everyone in the court knew - the birth of this prime minister came from a court scandal.

Eventually, when the boy grew up, he was appointed prime minister by his older half-brother, inheriting his own father's previous position by order of his brother's father.

However, the minister, who has a little white sideburns next to the prime minister but looks bold, expressed a different opinion.

"The affairs of our military department, the prime minister doesn't know when it became so clear? I have only presented that excerpt to His Majesty, and how did you know about it? ”

"Your Majesty has discussed this method with me, but I don't know? Generalissimo Nelson, if you still find my words unbelievable, Your Majesty will give you a satisfactory answer. ”

The marshal of the kingdom named Nelson just glanced at the prime minister standing beside him, and then directly bypassed the prime minister's riposte and said: "The prime minister of Bahrain knows about this plan, but he doesn't know the result of its implementation. The ministers sent clerks from the military department to check the files of the discharge, but unfortunately most of the veterans chose to live on the land they won in the victorious war, but ......"

His Majesty Philip, seated on the throne, no longer seemed to want to listen to the generalissimo of the kingdom to continue his narration, and he only waved his hand and opened his mouth to interrupt the generalissimo's prepared tirade.

"Generalissimo Nelson. All I'm interested in now is your attitude towards this treaty. ”

Looking at the impatient attitude of the king sitting on the throne, although Generalissimo Nelson wanted to continue his speech, he could only stalk his neck at this time, and then after a while, he held back a sentence: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if a few too strict articles are removed, there is still room for the whole treaty to be reversed." ”

His Majesty Philip, who was sitting on the throne, looked at his half-brother, then at the generalissimo of the kingdom, and then at the ministers behind him, but did not speak.

A little, when the atmosphere was solemn and a little terrifying, His Majesty Philip said a little gloomily: "Since you all mean to go to the negotiations first, then, Balin Nelson, from now on, you two are under the full authority of my Carl XVIII to negotiate an armistice treaty with Drew. ”

As soon as His Majesty Philip's words fell, before waiting for the reaction of the ministers below, he left his seat directly and disappeared from the field of vision of the ministers and nobles.

……

As night slowly fell, the horses that Ain had summoned disappeared because of the arrival of time, and the lights of a small town in the distance flickered in Ain's vision, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of dinner.

"I'm a little hungry." Aine stroked his stomach a little, and took out another horse's mane—all scavenged from the skinny horse at home, and there were not a few of them—and the poor skinny horse would not be pulled out again anyway for a short time, so it was better to use it like this.

Although the town that happened to be encountered was not large, fortunately, there happened to be a tavern in this small town - often taverns and other places, where accommodation is provided upstairs, some open places, and maybe someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night and asks if you need some "service" - in the previous game, there were also players who took up this profession and earned their first pot of gold in the game.

Standing at the door of the tavern, canceling the call of the mount, Aine couldn't help but smile a little weirdly.

It seems that the previous prediction was really accurate.

It was also a notice board covered in various scribbles, but Ain could clearly see the one that belonged to the tavern's name

Spelled in a scribbled human lingua franca - the House of Pleasure.
