Arnold is looking at Riesch.

I don't want to let go of the gaze he's pouring on us for a second. Riesch stares straight back and folds it one after the other.

"Lord Arnold knows the beauty of the clock. Would you have wanted to own that item cheaply and in large quantities, which is rare to the world? Or have you ever imagined that you could apply that technology and turn it around?

……

It took only a few days to make this watch.

I don't have to go out of my way to explain it and highlight the short production period. Arnold would be well aware of that fact.

"Zenmai and gear technology are beginning to be studied by scholars everywhere. With their knowledge, a carriage that moves without horses, a ship that moves without wind... that dream may come true."

He deliberately creates a strong expression and Rieschetto smiles on his lips.

"At that time, however, the only countries with the technology to manufacture were Coyol, even if they were looking around the world."

Ha.

Arnold, with his cheek stick on again, smiled softly.

"... you say things like you've seen the future."

It's as if you can read Leachet's mind.

Why are you so sharp when you don't know Leachet's secret?

Nevertheless, what I told Arnold on this occasion about the future is nothing but a prediction to Riesch.

Because Coyol will disappear.

War breaks out, the power of the country, which was originally scarce, is weakened, and Garkhein invades it. You have to change the ending little by little.

(I have to convince His Highness here.....)

Riesch squeezed her hands tightly.

The smile disappeared from Arnold's face.

"- So?"

What resonated in the room was a banging voice.

Arnold looks at a subject who has previously been indifferent.

"Kyle Morgan Clevery, what the hell are you doing?"

With a cold sound, Rieschetto suddenly stood.

There is dark light in Arnold's eyes looking at Kyle.

Arnold is almost faceless and doesn't rough up his voice. However, my skin feels so intimidating and painful that I get nervous even with Riesch who is just next to me.

Arnold continued with a harsh voice.

"I will admit that your country has excellent technology. That power is certainly lacking in our country."

A well-shaped finger slaps the armrest of the chair.

The sound suddenly echoed indoors, causing the tight air to burst into motion. I'm sure Arnold is working on all of them.

"... if that's the case, your sweetness runs with bug spit"

"....."

Riesch took a breath reflectively.

This is the way it is, so Kyle will feel more pressure than that. Regardless of that, Arnold repeated his words indifferently.

"Do you understand that knowledge, technology and humans can be brought to other countries? You don't have to pay your craftsmen and invite them to Garchain. Most people reveal their knowledge if they threaten to obey by force. As soon as our country has mastered the technology, we will have to kill the survival of Coyol."

After saying everything as if nothing had happened, he asked Kyle.

"Did you come here without thinking about anything like that? As my wife told me, as a decorative royal family."

"Your Highness! Prince Kyle...."

"Lichet, you're just like me this time."

With a quiet gaze, Riesch sighs.

"Didn't you imagine what would happen after I got my hands on that 'technology'?

……

The meaning of words was painfully clear.

Riesch knows exactly what the future Arnold will do. But sometimes I understand more than that.

(That's why....)

"- Lord Riesch, trust Lord Arnold."

Kyle was the first to open his mouth.

In a room full of urgency, Kyle straightens his spine and looks up to Arnold.

"The use of metalworking techniques for negotiation. When Leicher suggested this, I was worried that Arnold might not like it. However, Riesch consistently believed in Arnold."

Kyle's pale blue eyes resemble the lake in the snow.

Clear eyes do not stare, and sincere light does not cease.

"Arnold doesn't want the power to make the future even better."

……

Kyle's right.

I know Riesch now.

Even if Emperor Arnold Hein wages a war of aggression in the years to come. A few years ago, Arnold was feared on the battlefield as a cruel crown prince.

I know who Arnold is here.

"Not as good as Lord Riesch. But I came to this country myself, believing in Lord Arnold."

Kyle, who had spoken on behalf of Riesch, continued his words.

"It has been told that you are a good ruler and a kind of respect to even enemy soldiers, even by listening to battlefield records and rumors of policy. Even now, instead of cutting me off silently, it takes the form of a dialogue."

Arnold raised his eyebrows slightly.

Instead of being faceless, she's seeping through her obvious emotions and looking at Kyle. No matter what form it takes.

Arnold asked Kyle to throw up.

"I mean, do you believe? I will not invade Coyol and take the engineer."

"That's right."

"That's a great idea. It only led me to the foolishness of relying on me and this country more than anything else."

"I was stupid because I thought, 'I want you to trust and protect me.' But I don't think I was wrong to make an alliance with you."

Kyle said with an undisputed voice.

"--As a royal family, I have come to this country with deep respect for you."

And he put his hand on his chest.

"The lost gemstones of the country of Coyol are the intellect of scholars and the technology of metalworking. If we can combine the two powers of Garchain and start research together, the future that Mr Riesch has just said may not be empty."

……

"Of course not right away. I will spare no effort to trust you. [M] If you can keep it in mind for just a few moments..."

It was then.

"Excuse me."

The door of the room opens and someone appears. Kyle, who saw him, rounded his eyes in surprise.

"Lord Theodore."

"You're in a good mood, Highness Kyle. I'm sorry to disturb you, brother. We sincerely apologize for the incredible disrespect you've done during this conversation."

Even in an unusual tone, Theodore lowers his head. Afterwards, he looked up at Riesch and gave me a signal with a few blinks.

("Emergency"!

Riesch stood up in a hurry and told Arnold and Kyle.

"I'm sorry. I will be seated once."

"Ri, Lord Riesch?

"Please let me know the results of your conversation later. I'm so sorry, bye!!

Saying so with bitterness, Riesch left the room with Theodore. As they rushed out at the same time, the two knights of the guard rushed after them.

"... you're in a hurry."

In the room left, Arnold muttered.

With his cheek stick on his armrest, he gently said to Kyle.

"Let me apologize too. My wife and brother were rude."

"Surprised, but no problem. More than that...."

Oliver, come in.

On Arnold's instructions, a silver-haired man, his servant, enters the room.

Kyle accidentally rounded her eyes. Because it wasn't just the Servant that came into the conference room.

"Lord Arnold?

A dozen knights appeared.

When they enter silently, they line up behind Arnold.

"What the hell..."

……

Arnold, who followed a crowd of knights, gazed quietly at Kyle.
