Utility Value
King Olasha is in a good mood.
"Why are you in a good mood with this result? King Olasha…"
"You can see why, right? Augberts."
Dozens of Empire people are busy running around in front of us.
"Hurry, hurry, we're leaving today. Hey, you over there! Quickly move that equipment away!"
"Yes!"
"Hey, boss! You're not taking this equipment with you?"
"There’s no way I can load something that big! Bring me a model 6 instead of a model 4!"
"Yes sir!"
A group of people watching at another location.
There were 120 of them.
Fifty bachelors, selected by Seltense.
And 70 guards.
"Are you considering only 70 people as a fighting force?"
"Yes, but?"
That's the reason why King Olasha is in such a good mood.
It makes me want to insult him by calling him a [foolish king]
"Augberts. Let's keep this between us."
"…What is it?"
"We don't know the Emperor's intentions, but this is proof that they are cooperating with us. That's why they are accompanying us."
If that's the case, wouldn't they be willing to lend us 10 airships and 1000 soldiers?
"I don't think you'd be able to believe it unless we actually go into battle. These 70 people are without a doubt the most elite of the Empire."
"Only 70 people?"
"That's right, they are not called imperial soldiers but rather temple knights."
A knight, not a soldier
But still, there are only 70 people...
"Three people at the front have unique swords, right?"
"...There are. And what of it?"
"With just three of them, we can deal with 4,000 people."
"That sounds delusional, doesn't it?"
"Of course, if you think about it as a defense or to buy time."
How reliable would it be if that were true?
"I'm starting to want to go back to Boldoi..."
"Will they let you go home?"
"I don't think it's possible. That's also my late father's fault."
Former Baron Augberts, who no longer exists
My father
If it ends with cursing him, I'll curse him as much as I want.
"It's strange. He's been treated so poorly after he went from being a baron to a viscount."
"I just wanted to get rid of the main family thoroughly. After all, I am a concubine born to the daughter of a rural noble."
And none of the subordinates in the main family listen to what I say.
Because of their disrespect, King Boldoi punishes everyone who disobeys me.
As a result, all that was left for me was myself and a decorative title.
"It would help me, but it's because of your father's family that my brother died."
"When are you going to cut off my head too?"
"I won't do that. Wouldn't you rather switch from Boldoi to Marguerite? You're always welcome."
"That's a good idea. I'll think about it once the situation calms down."
"That's right. Until then, please take care of me."
"Yes, I will let you go back and forth between Boldoi and Marguerite in a sneaky way."
King Boldoi and King Marguerite have similar ways of thinking.
Most royalty and aristocrats monopolize their profits for their own country or themselves.
But can you say that the two of them are mutually beneficial?
They're willing to strengthen their trust in each other by profiting themselves and their allies at the same time.
[I use you to make money, so you use me to make money.]
These two say to their Eastern counterparts.
