Chapter 209 - Intrigue.

"Oh, I feel alive again. After all, a hot spring is the best way to heal a tired body."

"It sure feels good, doesn't it? It is comforting to be able to soak in warm water to warm up my body in this beginning cold season."

"Oh, Leon has a good point. How about you, Carlos-sama? Isn't it nice to be in a hot spring?"

"Hmm, not bad, but it's more revolutionary to be able to drink alcohol while soaking in the hot water. The warmth to your body goes well with the sake, Ars."

　After finishing my work in Paramea, for some reason I found myself soaking in the hot springs in the Barca Knights' Domain with Carlos and Leon.

　I'm not sure why, but I invited Carlos to join me.

　Clarisse had told me this when I came to the hot spring with Lilina before.

　It was about the problem that the inn was too low-grade to invite guests of high standing from outside.

　So, I had them build a reasonable building based on her and others' opinions since then.

　The architects introduced by the Grahams built a new hot spring inn, starting from the bath.

　The building was completed and the furnishings were arranged.

　For the time being, the main targets were the merchants of certain levels, and the building was complete enough to invite my wife, Lilina.

　When the report came in, I thought of actually going inside.

　And, as per usual, as a means of adding value, I invited Carlos to the hot spring in an attempt to brand the inn as one approved by Carlos, the Lord of Fontana.

　But I thought it was likely that he wouldn't come because he seems to be working even harder than I am.

　However, when I asked him to come, he agreed with a simple one-word answer, and here we are, soaking in the hot water together in the Barca Knights' Domain.

　However, Carlos himself didn't seem to find that much meaning in the act of bathing in the hot spring.

　I wonder if he was just going along to socialize.

"But this inn has gotten better, Ars-sama. I think it's nice that you don't have to get naked outside like you used to."

"Yeah, the previous inn where the hot springs were completely outside was just a bit too unsecure. It seems that Clarisse and Lilina didn't come here until the time I first invited them.

"But wasn't my sister happy when she heard that this new type of inn had been established?"

"I think so. I've heard that the merchants who came to Barcania also took a bath in the hot springs because they were curious about them. Well, the fact that herbal baths are so popular is a bit subtle."

"That's good. It seems that this village is becoming famous for its medicinal herbs and hot springs, thanks to your various efforts, Ars-sama."

"That's right. If you can make this place famous, it's good, I guess, Ars."

　Personally, I think it would be better to take a bath without mixing anything strange into the water, but I heard that the most popular hot spring is the medicinal hot spring.

　It seems that they are using some of the medicinal herbs that are grown stably all year round in the glass greenhouse in Linda Village to add them to the hot springs and make it a medicinal bath.

　Mimu even did a clinical trial of this to see how it worked, and it was indeed effective.

　If that's the case, I can't forbid the use of medicinal hot springs just because of my personal preference.

　Thus, it seems that herbal hot springs are becoming a secret craze among merchants.

"I'll tell the others about the hot springs. But let's get back to the topic at hand. Are you sure you're comfortable with the westward movement, Ars?"

"Yes, Carlos-sama. The inhabitants have been integrated and Paramea has been restored as a fortress. I think it's unlikely that that place will be breached and retaken any time soon."

"Good. Gana has had a lot of experience with dealing with the Arbalest forces. I'm sure he'll be able to handle it without a hitch if left to his own devices. Then, the next problem will be the Uruk family in the east."

"Next? Winter is coming, Carlos-sama. If we move our troops in the snow, they will freeze to death before they can fight."

"I'm aware of that. It will be difficult to actually take action immediately. But the power of the House of Uruk is weaker than ever. It is not in our best interest to overlook that."

"It is true that the House of Uruk has lost a great deal of power in the past two years. The Uruks have lost two of their own sons, and their forces have been greatly reduced."

"That's right, Leon. That's why we want to drive a jab in them while we can. Do you have any ideas?"

"Oh, that's..."

"What is it, Ars? You're not going to go out and kill everyone in the Uruk family, are you?"

"No, no, don't be absurd, Carlos-sama. I just thought it would be a good idea if we did some normal strategizing."

"Strategy, huh? What exactly do you have in mind?

"H~n, I'm not sure if you're asking for a specific plan, but... How about this? In the last battle, there was a traitor from Fontana, right? We'll use the Uruk people who were in league with him."

"Use the Uruk people?"

"We're going to make him up to look like a so-called double agent. Knight X of Uruk (pseudonym) had been in contact with the traitor of Fontana, coordinating with the Arbalest family in the west, and planning to launch a pincer attack. But in fact, this was a lie, and behind the scenes, he was connected to Carlos-sama himself. That battle seemed to be the biggest crisis of the Fontana family, but in fact, Carlos-sama was in contact with X and arranged it so that it was a strategy to take out the Heads of both noble families."

"The Uruk knight who was in contact with the traitor was actually in a cooperative relationship with me. You mean you're going to spread false information that that Uruk knight was cooperating with me, making him look like a traitor to the Uruk family?"

"Yes, Carlos-sama. It's not about whether it's true or not. If they start to suspect that it was because someone was leaking information in advance, there will be no end to the frantic movements in Uruk. I'm sure you'll be able to find out which Uruk knight or knights were in contact with the insider who betrayed us, right?"

"Yeah, I'm getting all the information I can squeeze out of the prisoner. That's right. We can't move the army in the winter anyway, so we can't do anything using our military. So we can spread fake information to cause turmoil in Uruk in the meantime."

"If that's the case, it might be better to do the same for the Arbalest family. As I recall, the Fontana traitor(s) had been collaborating with them as well."

"You are right, Leon. The story will be that the traitor told both the Arbalest and Uruk armies false data and that he and I had made an agreement to give him territory in Fontana after we won. But to do that, he had to give us information regarding the weaknesses of the two family Heads."

"Oh, that's a good idea. I wish I would be able to see their faces when they all gather for their New Year's celebration after having heard all this. Haha."

"Okay, I will go through with this idea. I'll use my own means to distribute the information."

　Hmmm... I bet the other party has no idea that such a ploy was decided while we were soaking in a hot spring.

　Well, I guess we won't be moving the army again this year now.

　Thus, after discussing how to deal with the West and the East, the winter season arrived.

CadmarLegend If I remember correctly, the hot springs were open-air before, huh... and that strategy... evil. It is sure to split apart the Uruk House into 2 or more factions... and this will make it easier to attack after the winter has passed.
