He said that when he made the refuge seeker with the prisoners met, it was as if he was a stranger.
The asylum seeker called himself Mandrocradas.
He claimed to be an unrecognized third son, so he was not generally known to the public.
Charles smiled bitterly, and I smiled back.
“This… there doesn’t seem to be merit in accepting his request, does it?”
“It’s not a self-proclaimed thing. Apparently, he was expecting to be treated well, and he complained a lot.”
“I think he was expecting to live a life of luxury. This is not a resort, by the way, but how did he feel about the beastmen?”
Charles’ smile deepened.
“He was wondering if why we’re letting get close to a nobleman… It’s almost as if he’s here for sightseeing.”
I looked disgusted, but opened my mouth in a crisp tone.
“I hope that whoever is associated with this person will leave before they become stressed out.”
“Are you sure?”
The questioning look on his face was one of complete agreement.
I nodded, unable to hide my disgusted expression.
“I promise I’ll accept refuge. There’s no such rule… and there’s no merit in accepting him. If he can at least treat the beastmen as an equal, I can consider accepting him as a citizen. Bringing Dorius’ theory into this… It would defeat the purpose of fighting.”
Charles shrugged his shoulders, then nodded and left.
Mil looked at me puzzled.
“I guess it’s also a problem to become famous.”
Honestly, give me a break.
The tiredness in her voice came out naturally.
“Is it a tax on fame?”
Kiara was indignant.
“I’m too busy to be bothered by people seeking refuge just for fun.”
“I don’t know if it’s courage or just plain stupidity, but …… let’s just forget it. We’ll have to set some rules for accepting refuge.”
As we were talking, Charles came back again.
It was the first time I had ever seen such a look of resignation.
“What’s the matter? Did you forget something?”
Charles cleared his throat.
“My Lord …… A man claiming to be the third son of Dorius has come to seek refuge.”
I couldn’t help but blurt out.
What a bad gag.
I managed to calm down and looked at Charles.
“Of course… it’s not the same person as the first one, is it?”
Charles nodded silently.
He seemed to have a blank expression on his face because it was so ridiculous.
“Is that person alone?”
AD
“No, he’s got a couple of people with him.”
“I wonder if he has anything to prove his identity…”
“Yes, but he said that you can’t judge if it’s true even if I show you.”
I kept a straight face.
“That’s better than the first one. Let’s let him meet the prisoners first. Oh, and let him meet the first third son. I don’t know how it will turn out, though…”
Charles seemed to be thinking of doing the same.
He nodded instantly.
Then he smiled sarcastically.
“I’ll try it that way, then. I just hope one of them is real…”
“Any other possibility… honestly, I’d rather not. In any case, there is no doubt that the territory of Dorius is swaying. If that happens, they may launch an attack to stabilize the interior. The next possible battlefield would probably be… there.”
Charles also returned to a straight face.
“I suppose… the season is looking good. But… how can you come up with new methods?”
""
“The other side is ideologically absolute… If we fight with the concept of normal warfare, our damage will only increase. But… I’m not sure they’ll move what I want them to do.”
Charles gave a small chuckle.
“Surely… it’s either they will kill us all, or be killed by us. If it doesn’t work the way you want it to, you’ll probably move it anyway… You’re such a bad person. However, I wonder if my lady who is a part of this method is okay with it?”
Mil chuckled with a sigh as Charles looked at him.
“If I could live without having to deal with those people, I would have objected. When we’re fighting against people who deny our very existence as equals… well, I can’t disagree. I was surprised when I first heard of that method… but I don’t think anyone, not even an elf, would have thought of using it that way.”
Mil is in this together…
If I take this step and say it’s irrelevant, it’ll hurt Mil.
“This is a one-time only. You can’t use it again even if you wanted to.”
Charles gave a faraway look.
“I’m pretty sure I’ll fall for it the first time… You have to be an idiot to fall for it the second time. I don’t think there will be a second time, though.”
“I’m not dreaming so much as thinking that we can coexist through discussion alone. But I never thought I’d encounter such an ideology in this remote region. I don’t mean to sound like a teacher, but I’m having trouble grasping the reality of this region.”
“Well, you’ll have to wait until you win to worry about that. If the son of Dorius becomes the new leader, the situation will change in many ways. Maybe in a more radical way…”
“That’s true. When the third child fiasco settles down, we may be able to see the situation to some extent.”
Charles looked as if he had just remembered something unpleasant.
“Well, then, I’ll go clean up that mess, however…”
“What is it?”
Charles’ face became amused.
“How many more third sons will there be?”
Mil and Kiara couldn’t help but blurt out.
Stop it…
“I hope it’s a stopgap… And it could be an illegitimate child or even a fourth child…”
I’m getting sick of saying it myself.
