The first self-proclaimed third child, Mandrocradas, turned out to be a fake.

It seems that Mandrocradas did not expect the real one to come.
The third child, who came later, called himself Prytanis and agreed to meet Mandrocradas.
The moment Mandrocradas saw Prytanis, he tried to run away and was caught.
Afterwards, he prostrated himself and asked for forgiveness, but no action was taken.
When I took him to meet the prisoners, they all fell down at once, so I’m not sure if this is the third child, but I’m sure he’s a high-ranking person.
When I heard the report, I immediately made the decision to meet him.
This time, I asked to ask Mil to accompany me.
He has taken a non-human as his wife.
I wanted to see how he would react to this.
There was another reason as well.
At the welcome party for the messenger Zenon, I asked him not to attend out of consideration ……
""
That consideration was disgusting to me.
And I only saw him for a moment at that time.
I’ll never forget the look on his face when he looked a little sad.
I wanted to make up for that …… but I wanted to make my position clear.
If we are in a public place and need to be accompanied by a woman, I will take Mil with me.
Mil looks a little worried.
“Al, are you sure about this?”
I smiled at Mil.
“Of course, I’ll make it clear that you’re my wife. If you want, we can go in holding hands?”
Mil’s face flushed with surprise.
“No, you don’t have to do that! But …… thank you.”
""
Mil was flustered, but she looked very happy.
It was worth bringing her here just to see her face.
“You’re welcome.”
◆◇◆◇◆
When I entered the room, I found a boy waiting for me, accompanied by what looked like two guards.
He was about fifteen years old with dark brown hair, dark eyes and a small, tanned face.
He was slender and had an intelligent look on his face.
I urged him to be seat, and the boy, who called himself Prytanis, sat down.
The two attendants remained standing, but Prytanis turned to face them.
“Since you’re here, you should follow the feudal lord’s suggestion.”
The two of them sat down on either side of Prytanis in silence.
This is something we need to take seriously.
The first one was too much for me ……
“I’m Alfredo Della Scala, the feudal lord. This is my wife.”
Mil bowed.
She seemed a little nervous.
“I am Milva Rayala Della Scala.”
Prytanis opened his mouth quietly.
“Dorius’ third child, Prytanis. On my left and right are my childhood protectors, Kunemos and Brasidas.”
The two on either side bowed.
Now, let’s get down to business.
“I have heard that Lord Prytanis wishes to seek refuge in Ravenna. Is it true what I’ve heard?”
The two men on either side of me raised their eyebrows, as if they thought their master was being questioned.
Prytanis nodded silently.
“Yes, it is true.”
“I hope you will forgive my questioning you. It is a very effective way of requesting a meeting with me, and I have confirmed it.”
Prytanis smiled.
“I see, it is indeed a very effective way. My immediate goal is to seek refuge.”
I guess so.
I don’t see him as the type to come here just to save his own skin.
I guess it’s getting a little interesting.
“I see, so can you tell me what your ultimate goal is? You took the trouble to suggest it to me. I’m sure it won’t be a riddle.”
Prytanis seemed to be enjoying himself.
He opened his mouth in a good mood.
“I’m glad you understand it so quickly. My ultimate goal is to avoid the total annihilation of the ex-territory. That’s my only goal.”
That was quick.
And even though it had just begun …… the conversation with Prytanis was pleasant.
Since we’re at it, I’m going to enjoy this game.
“It is not a given that we will win.”
Prytanis leaned forward, too.
Are we actually on the same side?
“The only future that is perfectly clear to me is that everyone born …… will eventually die. The odds are pretty high that you will win this time. I don’t know how you will win, though.”
I’d love to know how it lead him to that ending.
“I don’t intend to lose at all. But I’m sure it’s the same for Sir Dorius. You have decided that there is something that can make the difference between victory and defeat. How did you see it, Sir Prytanis?”
Prytanis straightened his back.
“First, my father does not want to know you. Even though he was beaten so badly. The Prophets are saying it’s because of the beastmen in the mix.”
Prophets? I think he means the five advisors. I’ll check it out later.
""
Prytanis continued with a foolish look on his face.
“The Prophets foolishly claim that we can win if we play a different hand with just humans. That’s how easy it is to see. My father knows that he kept winning with the beastmen, but …… Even my father is troubled by the fact that his beastmen have become useless. On the other hand, Lord Alfred is trying to get to know us. On the contrary, you’re even reaching out near my father. My father’s surroundings are just as Lord Alfred expected. Of course, you know what’s going on, don’t you?”
Prytanis shook his head in annoyance.
“Just before my father was about to listen to my opinion …… there was a commotion. It’s irredeemably stupid. The leaders are convinced that the fact that they are using beastmen as familiars has not been discovered. They said that if they had known, they would have killed the familiars for sure. The idea doesn’t occur to him until it is used against him. I’m tempted to ask him how long has he been living.”
Prytanis withdrew his ridiculous expression and looked at me seriously.
No, it was more like he respected me.
“As a result, the only move that can improve the situation has been blocked. Of course, he must have known that and used the move to block it. It was nothing short of brilliant. Even if we continue to fight like this, the result will be obvious. It is inconceivable that Lord Alfred will not take any countermeasures. And the only way to end the battle is to eradicate the people on Dorius’ side …… That’s what it looks like.”
That’s dangerous.
So there was a smart person on the Dorius side.
And about 15 years old.
If I hadn’t been reincarnated as a cheat, he would have completely defeated me.
Really, what kind of region is this?
Hiding the cold sweat inside, I opened my mouth this time.
“If our presence threatens their existence …… we have no choice but to do so. Of course, we want to avoid it if possible. Do you have a plan to avoid annihilation, as you said?”
Prytanis chuckled quietly.
“It’s ostensibly human supremacy, but …… It is natural for parents to want their children to live when they are close to death …… There are also a certain number of people who will abandon the sign of human supremacy if they are not to be avenged by the beastmen. In that case, if there is no one who can explain it to Lord Alfredo …… he will never believe it. It’s only natural to do so in order to protect your own people.”
I see.
However, I feel a little overwhelmed.
There really is such a thing as genius.
In any case, it would be very reliable if he could be on our side.
Can I trust them …… That’s the problem.
Perhaps …… as long as I don’t fall into the fools category, I should be fine.
I guess he’s the type of person who doesn’t go out with the other person if he judges them to be fools.
“It’s just like you said, Sir Prytanis. You have excellent insight. I will gladly accept your request to seek refuge, Sir Prytanis. Can I assume that the two of them who are following you will come as well?”
They nodded in silence.
So they and Prytanis are one and the same.
Prytanis was a little relieved.
He was only about 15 years old, so he was somewhat worried.
“Thank you for accepting us. Of course, we are equal to the beastmen. Of course, I know that, and please treat me as such. But please understand that it will be a bit awkward …….”
Of course.
I don’t feel them like suddenly getting used to it or something stupid like that.
“Yes, of course, I understand that. But I was surprised to find someone like Sir Prytanis.”
Prytanis opened his mouth with a wry smile.
“I’m not very good at martial arts …… and I’ve always been preoccupied with my studies. I was a heretic in my father’s court. And I’m sure he’ll kill me when he takes over. I don’t want to die, but there is no one to support me. It’s as good as dead to be a fool and a puppet of the prophets. I had just given up, that’s when Sir Alfred appeared. I feel some kind of destiny.”
If the power base is not so strong in a succession, there is a high possibility that someone who could be a rival for the succession will be eliminated.
But still, fate is too heavy, but ……
Am I attracting all those people?
I’m feeling a little depressed.
I cleared my throat to get rid of it.
“I believe that Sir Prytanis is a man of brains, not brawn. If Sir Dorius had been able to utilize Lord Prytanis, we might have lost.”
Prytanis scratched his head in embarrassment.
This is part of him is a boy’s behavior.
Then he turned his gaze filled with passion on me.
“My idea was just a theory …… and I couldn’t come up with anything like the battle before. So, I think I can learn a lot from Lord Alfred’s side. In fact, that’s the main reason why I’m here. It’s the first time I’ve been able to take such an intellectual interest in another person.”
Isn’t my rumor …… spreading like a wildfire?
The first self-proclaimed third child, Mandrocradas, turned out to be a fake.
