Foolish King John II
And then there's the post-war processing.
Apparently, the commander-in-chief that the Half-Moon Knights defeated was the king of the Frankish Kingdom.
Moreover, John II.
He is a goofy king in history who was taken prisoner by the English army.
Well, this other world has a lot of overlap with Earth and history, so it's not a bad thing.
In the end, as Shiro had planned, we succeeded in taking Brittany from the Frankish kingdom and receiving 95 billion euros in compensation.
"Was it okay to return King John II so easily?"
After receiving the compensation, I question Shiro, who simply gave King John II back.
In my opinion, wouldn't it have been better to exhaust the Frankish kingdom by asking for ransom over and over again? That's what I thought.
"Absolutely no! If we keep King John II hostage, his son Charles V will rise to power!"
"Wise King Charles V?"
"Yes! In Earth's history, while King John II was a prisoner of war in England, he became the regent of France while still being the crown prince, and while he was in charge of the difficult state affairs exhausted by reparations and ransoms, he gained strength!"
"Certainly, it would be bad if Charles V rose to power...
He's cornered Britain over and over again"
"Well, we were lucky to be able to bring Charles V’s right-hand man, Guesclin, into the Duchy of Sussex!"
Shiro looks very happy.
Do you like Guesclin that much?
Well, if it's Shiro, she likes Kuroda Kanbei more than everyone's favorite Zhuge Liang, so it is Shiro-ish.
"Well, that being said, I'm curious about the fact that John II, Charles V, and Guesclin have appeared, but Edward the Black Prince, who is the main character, has not appeared.
If I remember correctly, wasn't Edward the Black Prince the one who captured King John II on Earth?"
I curiously asked the question.
"Edward the Black Prince, I have ordered the shitty bastard Thomas-kun to assassinate him during the melee war!"
Shiro blurts out a startling fact.
"No way! Why did you kill him?
Or rather, which side was Edward the Black Prince on?"
Normally, he should be the crown prince of England, but in this world where the Normandy dynasty did not exist, it would not be strange for him to be on the side of the Frankish kingdom.
"He was in the Duchy of Normandy army, so he's on our side!
And Edward the Black Prince was assassinated because he was black."
Shiro answered calmly.
"Black, you mean a spy for the Frank Kingdom or something?
You don't mean he's black in color..."
"It’s definitely the black color!"
Shiro declared without changing her face.
"Maybe you killed him because his other name was [Black Prince]?''
"Yes. I hate black!"
Shiro replies.
"That’s why!"
Is Shiro an idiot...?
She killed him just because he had the nickname [Black Prince]...
I'm sure Edward the Black Prince was capable...
Could it be that if Edward the Black Prince's other name was the White Prince, she wouldn't have assassinated him?
"Of course! Prince Edward will be included in my [Nobunaga's Ambition] lineup!"
Shiro reads my mind and answers on her own.
"Nobunaga's Ambition was a game-like war!"
"No! It's just an example! But I'm a monster, so no matter how many humans die, my heart won't hurt!"
"I see... Because you like human flesh."
In other words, if it's [Romance of the Three Kingdoms], it's at the level of Lu Bu.
In [Nobunaga's Ambition], Shiro missed out on a military commander on the level of Uesugi Kenshin.
ーーーー
Well, that's how it was on the second day after the post-war process with the Frankish Kingdom was finished.
Suddenly, shocking information was brought to me.
"Master! There's trouble! John II of the Frankish Kingdom has been executed!"
Shiro panics and reports to me.
"No way! Even though they paid the ransom to save him, they still executed him..."
I feel a little horrified.
"It appears that his son Charles V executed him to take responsibility for the defeat in the war with the Duchy of Sussex!"
"Even though they're family, it's cruel..."
Unexpected murder of a parent,
Charles V seems like a cold-hearted man.
"It seems that Charles V is a more troublesome enemy than I thought..."
"It seems so..."
A ruthless man who could easily kill even his own parents for the sake of his country.
He must have decided on his own that he should not leave the country to the foolish king as it is.
He does not have the title of [Wise King] for mere appearances.
I'm sure he thought it through wisely, came up with a wise decision, and decided to kill his biological parent.
In other words, the decision was made too quickly.
Maybe King John II expected that he would lose quickly and took action from the beginning?
"So, there are other things going on with Charles V, right?"
Yes, there is no way that someone who made the decision to kill his parent so quickly could have done anything else.
"Yes! Apparently, letters were sent to the Holy Roman Empire, the Vatican, the Kingdom of Britain, the Kingdom of Hispania, and the United Kingdom of Aragon!"
"Contents?"
"Well, as expected, I don't know that much..."
"I don’t think they will form an alliance and draw a siege to the Duchy of Sussex!"
"Well, the royal families of any country are those who descend from the blood of the Ancestor!
If a new lineage of vampires emerges that they don't recognize, there's a possibility that they'll join forces to eliminate us!"
"That’s dangerous!"
"Well, the Kingdom of Britannia, which is currently allied with the Duchy of Sussex, will not respond to the Frankish Kingdom’s request!
They have other plans as well, and it seems like they still want to borrow Master's help!"
"Well, Anne and Mary are both candidates for my harem, so I'll help them as much as I want!"
"What I'm talking about is Anastasia-san!"
"Anastasia? Anastasia is just a guest of the Kingdom of Britain, right?"
"Yes, but the person we need to be most careful about is Anastasia-san!
Master, I've said it before, but please never let your guard down with Anastasia-san!"
I don't know why, but it seems like the battle between Shiro and Anastasia is still going on.
Seriously, you were such good friends.
I wonder what happened.
It's very difficult to have agile relationships between women. Thought Cedric.
