Every Country's Thoughts
"We're surrounded by quite a large army..."
"We've received word that we're surrounded by enemy Crusaders on other fronts as well!"
Shiro reported to me.
I'm currently looking at the enemy's large army from the top of the rampart expressway that borders the Duchy of Normandy and the Duchy of Burgundy.
Apparently, our opponents are Crusaders belonging to the Frankish Kingdom.
A familiar flag from the previous war is flying.
"Looks like the winner is the Normandy front where William I and Sera are!"
"What do you mean by winning?"
I ask Shiro.
"Of course, to the Holy Roman Empire Army!"
"No matter how you think about it, it’s not true!
Their opponent, Charlemagne, is the hero of heroes!
After all, he is the Trump King!
Without a doubt, he is a most famous king on Earth!"
I exclaim with excitement.
"I don't know about that. Everyone knows about the Trump King, but I don’t think they know that it’s the Holy Roman Empire’s Great Emperor Charlemagne.
It might be common knowledge for a history maniac like Master, but people don't know much about history!"
"Huh… Isn’t it common knowledge that the Trump King is Charlemagne?"
"Normally, I don’t think they know."
I was speechless at the startling fact.
And after 5 minutes.
"Um... are you okay now?"
I was frozen for about 5 minutes, but Shiro took the time to talk to me.
As expected of Shiro. It seems like she knows exactly when I will recover.
I replied as if nothing had happened.
"Yeah. I'm okay. Today, I learned that my common sense and other people's common sense are different."
"That's right. That difference in common sense creates misunderstandings and starts wars."
"That's a bit of a philosophical statement."
I twisted my head a little and tried to reply with some silly words.
"Really? I think it's normal.
Well, for now, the winners are William I and Sera, and it looks like the Royal Hispanian army is coming to the Burgundy front, which is protected by Guesclin!"
"Let me confirm once again, the United Kingdom of Aragon will definitely not participate in this war, right?"
I checked with Shiro just one more time.
I'm worried about whether Guesclin, who isn't a vampire or anything, can protect the Burgundy front by himself.
"They would never do that! They just gave permission to the Kingdom of Hispania to cross the country!"
"After all, they're on the side of the Crusaders!"
"The United Kingdom of Aragon also has its reasons!
After all, the territory of the United Kingdom of Aragon on the Italian Peninsula side is adjacent to the border of Vatican City!
They can't have a big fight with the Vatican directly!"
If you say so, then yes...
"Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Indeed, if one goes against the Vatican, the United Kingdom of Aragon will be destroyed in an instant.
However, if that happens, won't the United Kingdom of Aragon attack?
"There is an Ancestor faction in the Vatican as well, so it seems like they negotiated with them and somehow managed to avoid participating in the battle!"
Apparently, there are various speculations swirling around this war in each country, even though I don't know about it.

And then there are the intentions of the Holy Roman Empire.
Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire, like Queen Petronilla of the United Kingdom of Aragon, was also one of the people who felt a great debt to the Ancestor Artoria Pendragon.
Just like Drake, during a battle against a foreign race during the Crusades, he was cursed by an enemy foreign race that made him want to drink human blood.
The curse was troublesome, and in the end, the troops led by Charlemagne were almost wiped out as allies drank each other's blood, got excited, turned to sodomy, and killed each other.
Just then, Artoria Pendragon, the Queen of Britain and Hero, appeared dashingly, shared her blood, and saved all the surviving soldiers, including Charlemagne.
Because of this great debt of gratitude, Charlemagne and other important figures in the Holy Roman Empire were extremely reluctant to participate in the Crusade to subjugate the Kingdom of Sussex.
Until now, the Ancestor, Artoria Pendragon, was not in this world, and so he took the initiative in following the crusade to the Kingdom of Britain, saying, [You foxes who borrow power from the Ancestor!], but if the Ancestor had returned to the Kingdom of Britain, it would be a different story.
Personally, Charlemagne wanted to immediately go to the Kingdom of Britain and return the favor along with his subordinates, who were now important figures in the Holy Roman Empire.
"No way! Your Majesty! We must never ignore the wishes of the Kingdom of Britain, to which the Ancestor-sama has returned!"
The important figures of the Holy Roman Empire, who were helped by the Ancestor, are approaching Charlemagne with spit flying in the air.
"That's right! If Ancestor-sama hadn't come to our rescue then, we wouldn't be where we are today!"
"Until now, I have been bitter towards the foxes that borrows the power of the Ancestor-sama and the Kingdom of Britain, but if the Ancestor-sama returns, it makes sense to follow the Kingdom of Britain!"
"Your Majesty! If the Kingdom of Britain declares neutrality, it is the human way for us, who have received great favor from the Ancestor-sama, to follow it!"
The important figures of the Holy Roman Empire, who were helped by the Ancestor, made recommendations to Charlemagne one after another.
These people are all vampires, so the human way is strange.
"I know. I know….
However, the Holy Roman Empire cannot go against the wishes of the Vatican!
The Vatican's Pope appoints the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire!
The current Pope Leo III appointed me Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
We were also indebted to the extraordinary favor we received for the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire.
If Pope Leo III asked me to send a crusade, there would be no way I could refuse!"
"But! Then!"
An important figure who owes a great debt to the Ancestor objects.
"Yes! Shut up! It’s not like we’re going to directly confront Ancestor-sama!
Even if, as rumored, the king of the Duchy of Sussex is the elder brother of the Ancestor-sama, to us he is completely unrelated and unknown to us!"
It seems that Charlemagne decided to push through, whether he knew it or not.
"That's sophistry!"
"Even if it's just sophistry, it's impossible to do both!"
Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire, without hiding his frustration, scoffed at the leaders and decided to join the Crusade.
