Chapter 170: 173

Chapter 173 - Switching Blame

"I suspected you were an idiot, but I didn't realize you were this big of a fool. As usual, you do things that are far beyond my expectations, Ars."

"I'm sorry, Carlos-sama. But I've cleared my name well and yours as well. I've made sure that the young knight who spoke ill of Carlos-sama's bloodline was punished, with my anger being a side achievement."

"..... How dare you say such a thing. If you're getting carried away, I'll personally hand you over to the authorities."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"What the hell. 'I'm sorry.' How dare you use me as a justification for invading someone else's territory? You've got a lot of nerve, you know that?"

"No, it's not that I wanted the territory. It's just that the situation made it necessary to fight. It's all Ruffin-dono's fault for saying such a thing as wife-robbing."

"That's one of the reasons, yes. I'm sure that's part of the reason, but that doesn't mean anyone would go that far. You should have ended it with a duel with no aftermath."

"Oh, I see. A duel? So that was one way to do it... I'll do that next time!"

"Next time, tell me BEFORE you make a move, and you will refrain from doing a "next time", might I add."

"All right, Carlos-sama, your grace."

　The series of events began with the building of the dam.

　The situation that was progressing at a speed that even I hadn't anticipated eventually spread to the entire Fontana territory.

Or rather, I did the spreading in the middle of the situation.

　After attacking the Garnes family who is adjacent to the Barca knight territory, and even defeating the knight families who had moved to support them, I decided that I could not handle the situation by myself.

　So I decided to complicate the situation further by distributing the documents that Carlos had given me throughout the Fontana territory, stating that this was a fight solely against Ruffin.

　There is justice for me.

　My actions are the will of the Lord of Fontana.

　That's how I spread the word.

　However, some of the other knights who suddenly received such a letter were confused and angered by it.

　The knights of the old Raymond faction were particularly so.

　They were the ones I had attacked and taken territory from, after all.

　They seemed to have remembered their old unity and began to move to help their friends rather than the cause of Carlos' words.

　Seeing this, I decided to complicate the situation further.

　I sent more documents to some of the knights of the old Raymond faction.

　These were the knights who attended the New Year's celebration, spoke with me during the banquet, and bought the magic of the Reed family.

　That is to say, the knights that were introduced to me by Peter, who had fought directly with me as a former subordinate of Raymond, and had fought with me against enemies at Einrad Hill.

　I sent them a document with this message.

　Lord Peter is associated with Barca and has already placed Barca's army in Fort Einrad.

　Those of you who are connected to our Barca through the introduction of Lord Peter is also in the same camp as us.

　Let's stand together against those who disagree with Carlos-sama's decision.

　In short, we have tried to create a camp among the old Raymondites.

　Coincidentally, we also have circumstantial evidence that my brother and others with the Barca surname are actually in Fort Einrad right now.

　Of course, the receipt of the documents does not mean that they have become our trusted allies or friend.

　However, I did not care about their intentions.

　All we had to do was make the old Raymondites think that the knights who accepted the magic of the Reed family were in our camp.

　So, while sending the documents, I also sent them to the old Raymond faction, saying, "That man (Peter), whom you know, has joined our camp, so why don't you join us?"

　In this way, the situation in the Fontana territory became chaotic.

　It was hard to tell who was on the other side, and both sides became suspicious of each other.

　However, there were still people who took a firm stand.

　The powerful knightly families of the former Raymond faction took the lead and began to show unity.

　Guess what would other territories think if they saw this situation?

　They would think that this is an opportunity.

　If that happens, who will be most troubled?

　Carlos, the head of the Fontana territory, of course.

　Carlos needed to put a stop to this rapidly developing situation.

　And he needed to do it quickly.

　In other words, Carlos needed to take charge of the situation.

　It was up to Carlos to take the blame, not me, who was the cause of the problem and who had been adding fuel to the fire.

　Carlos had two choices to make.

　He had two choices: to help me or the old Raymondites.

　It was possible that Carlos would be angry with me for using him and attack Barca.

　In that case, the situation would be infinitely worse for me.

　But in the end, Carlos chose to follow me so that we could attack the old Raymond faction.

　I guess he took into consideration the documents I had scattered and the time it would take to solve the problem.

　In this way, the civil war that had suddenly broken out in Fontana's territory was brought to a close by Carlos' swift decision-making and military operations, which wiped out the rebellious forces of the former Raymond faction against Carlos.

CadmarLegend Ahhhhh! Ars! I, too, am angry at you! You made some confusing sentences, trickery, and hard times for me as a translator! This part is sooo confusing!

 

So, if I want to summarize, Ars and the Garnes family had a meeting where they were discussing the change in currents of the river which the Barca and Garnes territories shared. The cause was the dam. The Garnes family was worried about a water shortage. Then, their Ruffin Garnes, young and dumb, made a statement that he would take Lilina as his wife, basically cucking Ars. Ars got angry and killed him. Then, he killed everyone else in the meeting because he was worried about what would happen if word got out. After that, Ars needed an excuse, so he sent a letter asking Carlos if he could humiliate Ruffin (not telling him that the dude was dead) as payback for the statement which Ruffin had said (the one about wife-robbing). Carlos agreed, thinking that it was going to be a duel between men or something. Ars went and spread a false rumor that Ruffin had escaped and went to the Garnes territory and that he had accidentally killed him then in the midst of battle. He had been planning on retreating soon after but didn't realize that the Garnes family's defenses were weak and suddenly took over. The surrounding Knight Families thought that Barca was turning its back on them and attacked. Soon, Barca defeated everyone. Then, Ars started to think of an excuse... and realized that he could use his connection with Carlos (through Lilina being Carlos' half-sister and Ars being married to Lilina) and say that the entire fiasco happened because he wanted to avenge Carlos since a foolish knight had said he'd break apart the marriage that Carlos himself had organized. Now, this all caused a stir in the sad and angry Raymond faction who had been bashed. They started to unite and almost cause a civil war. However, Ars leaked some papers which said that everything was the order of Carlos, and to finish it up, said that Peter, one of the Raymondites, had accepted Barca and thus, Barca and the Raymondites were allies, which by connection, meant that Fontana and the Raymondites were all allies. This caused a rift in the Raymondites Faction and Carlos took advantage of that to destroy them... I think.
