35 – Do you know why I am strong? It’s because they just ran away!(5)

Dwarven Principality.

As I remember, the Dwarven Principality is almost an enemy of the Forest Elves and the 12 Tribes, the Beast Alliance. Other than that, I didn’t get along so well with other races.

Although there are many reasons. The biggest reason must be the dwarves’ unique craftsmanship and their eccentricity. The extremes of even selling off one’s children for the sake of technological development.

It is full of mad artisans who sacrifice even their own flesh and blood without hesitation. Even more so, the dwarves are more merciless towards other races.

But how was it that I was able to hold on until now? Simple. They’re eccentric, not stupid. Dwarves were the only race that maintained a relationship.

The first is a dragon called the race of lovingkindness. And the second is the most powerful human being. I chose to voluntarily obey the dragon.

On the contrary, human beings maintained good relationships through technology exchanges and various transactions. Thanks to that, he was able to grow his forces even with so many races and chucks.

But those dwarves came directly to the Royal Knights. Not for any other reason, but because of the territorial dispute between the Dwarven Principality and the 12 tribes. No wonder.

I was annoyed for a moment. I did my best to manage my expression. I don’t know if I’m a hero who can chew everything. Sadly I am not a hero.

Despite possessing the fraudulent power of stopping time, it could only be used to this extent. It was just an uninvited guest taking up space.

“Captain, I’m telling you just in case…”

“Don’t worry, Cluna.”

“yes?”

“What you think will never happen.”

The Dwarven Principality tried to gain a political advantage by taking advantage of Bayard’s desertion. After all, I, the leader, am a person who gets along well with each other.

But, why should I cooperate on such a thing?

In the first place, the Dwarven Principality was completely destroyed in the original work and did not even appear. At least a few dwarves came out. Most of them were refugees.

That’s why the dwarven heroine in the original story set the goal of reviving her homeland again. I wonder if a young person set such a goal.

In any case, there is a goal I set for sure when I took office as the general manager of the Royal Knights. That’s what makes the Royal Knights a completely politically neutral organization.

In the first place, the Royal Knights were screwed because of the f*cking politics. Isn’t it more legendary that you still can’t learn and do politics there? I went into the drawing room.

Although the drawing room of the Royal Knights originally had chandeliers and various golden decorations. There is no one now, only a shabby table and chairs instead.

Because I took it all and sold it. in a situation where money is scarce. Decorations are a luxury. Even if I could afford it, I wouldn’t bother doing that.

“I expected it because it was the famous Royal Knights. It’s not as great as I thought.”

And in the drawing room, there were little kids sitting on chairs and sipping tea. On the outside, there are two boys and one girl who look nothing but children.

The blue-haired girl and the green-haired boy held their weapons behind them and were silent. On the other hand, the guy sitting on a chair and sipping a cup of tea was full of composure.

He was said to be of high rank and wore luxurious clothes. He was wearing a magnifying glass in one eye. He laid down the book he was holding and smiled.

“No ill intent. Nice to meet you, Sir Hans, Captain of the Royal Knights.”

“Nice to meet you. So what’s your name?”

“I am Bilal Emerald, Ambassador of the Dwarven Principality.”

So is Ruby. Dwarves seem to like putting the name of a mineral in their name. Well, the name of the original dwarf heroine was Belly Sapphire.

“It looks like each other is busy. Let’s get right to the point.”

“Sir Hans seems to be quite impatient, isn’t he?”

“Ambassador Bilal, wouldn’t it be better to keep each other’s lines?”

“There’s an elf with no manners. Is it a pet?”

Apparently, the relationship between elves and dwarves is not good. But here he was wrong. I sighed and laughed and spoke softly to Ambassador Bilal.

“Cluna is my lieutenant. What can I do without the aide attending such an important occasion?”

“I knew the Royal Knights were having a tough time, but I never thought there would be such a lack of talent.”

“Ambassador Bilal, shouldn’t we return to our home country with even a little better results here?”

“…”

I don’t know what the posture of being intimidating is. So I imitated the gang boss I saw in a noir movie. I deliberately sat down with my legs crossed and answered while interlacing my two fingers.

“I’ll tell you clearly. If you talk more than that, you know there won’t be any soup.”

“Everything, Captain…!!”

Not to mention the biral ambassador. Even Cluna, who was listening silently by the side, was startled. Clearly, this is the field of diplomacy. And the important thing in diplomacy is words.

Whatever the words, it was a basic practice to turn them around and soften them as much as possible. That way you won’t give your opponent a justification. But so what? do you know my

Did the Royal Knights go bankrupt right away? Even if you still can’t come to your senses and try to politicize with territorial disputes? Please, just do verse 1, only verse 1.

“You’re coming out stronger than I thought. Sir Hans, excuse me, but do you know the relationship between the Kingdom and the Dwarven Principality?”

“Stop thinking about connecting one country to another. Now, isn’t this a deal between the Royal Knights and the Principality?”

“…”

“Let’s talk openly like a man. What kind of girl are you talking about?”

Some Tazza said something like that. The scariest thing in a gambling board is not the opponent. I am a beginner who is new to gambling. Because the next number is unpredictable.

But it wasn’t a friendly opponent. Bilal still had a smile on his face. His expression changed only when he was momentarily taken aback by my words.

Well, it’s a serious matter involving territorial disputes. There will be no way to send a newbie. Bilal was still smiling, but certainly more polite than before.

“In that case, let’s get straight to the point and hand over the deserter Lord Bayard’s recruit to us.”

“I refuse.”

“You’re firm. But can you really refuse this offer?”

“What is it?”

“First, the Dwarven Principality will officially sponsor the Royal Knights.”

“Right.”

“As well as the finest equipment prepared by the Dwarven Principality. We will make this fortress even stronger.”

“In return, hand over Bayard’s recruits?”

“That’s right. You only need to hand over one person.”

Certainly, it wasn’t bad conditions. Anyway, officially Bayard is a deserter. Even in modern society, desertion is a serious crime to the extent that it is governed by strict military law.

Even more so, how would deserters be treated in this place set in the Middle Ages? If I’m not careful, I may be harmed too. Ambassador Bilal aimed at that point.

By simply handing over the identity of the deserter. The Royal Knights can get massive support. The Dwarven Principality’s support was so incredibly valuable.

“I can’t help but ask again if Sir Hans’ answer is the same as before.”

“Of course I refuse.”

“A wise choice… yes?”

“Cluna, it looks like the guest is leaving. Please send me off as politely as possible.”

“I understand, Captain.”

It was a tempting proposal, though. For my goal of neutralizing the Royal Knights, I had no choice but to refuse. Whatever happens, the moment politics gets involved, it goes bankrupt.

“Wait a minute! Sir Hans!”

“The captain has nothing more to say.”

“How dare you, an elf. Put your hands on my body?!”

When Cluna stopped Bilal, he finally showed his true colors. The smile disappeared in an instant. And at the same time as Bilal vented his anger, the knights moved.

They tried to subdue Cluna. Before that, Cluna moved first. The two dwarf knights were being trampled by Cluna’s feet in an instant. look at this

To be honest, I was a little surprised. No matter how much the Royal Knights are a toothless tiger. Still, I never thought they would try to use force in front of me, the leader.

“You couldn’t hold back your anger. Did you hate elves that much?”

“Now, wait a minute! This is…!!”

“I will never forget this. Take a look, Ambassador Bilal.”

Although he seemed like a veteran diplomat. Even so, it seemed that he could not hide his hatred for elves. So Ambassador Bilal was driven out with the escort knights.

“I didn’t know you would really refuse.”

“What does that mean?”

“To be honest… I’m a little suspicious.”

“…”

“Because all these years, people who acted like you were plotting something behind their backs.”

“It was on good terms.”

Is it because I turned down the good conditions? Cluna seemed slightly suspicious. It’s dangerous, here I have to give a plausible answer somehow. I opened my mouth.

“But how can I sell my family for money?”

“…That’s right, that’s definitely true.”

Phew, fortunately, the doubt seems to have been resolved.

“If you’re the captain, I don’t think you would have been shaken even if you brought the new sword, the best treasure of the Dwarven kingdom.”

“A new sword?”

“Yes, legend says it cuts everything.”

“……You cut everything?”

“Yes, of course it’s just a legend.”

Cluna smiled lightly and added. I couldn’t hear it in my ears now.

Shall I go and hand it over now? As long as I have that new sword, I don’t need a Royal Knight or anything else.

I thought about that for a while. quit soon after

There is no guarantee that the new sword is real.

Anyway, if I have to go to the Dwarf Duchy later, I’ll just steal it with the time stop.
