Chapter 192: Vol. 2

Separation

Translated by Raizu

[A Noble of the Zinkaen Empire, the Duke of Quordenze…right?]

My father put the dried scallops he was holding on his small plate and smiled.

[It sounds nostalgic. It’s already been 20 years ago… Everything seems like it was yesterday.]

I think that changing from an Imperial Noble to a Royal Noble must have been more difficult than I imagined.

With the goblet still on his desk, my father took a deep breath and seemed to be thinking back on the hardships he had faced up until this point.

[Thanks to your hard work. …..We were able to corner the Spierzeig family so far, and I’m sure grandmother is proud of father’s determination and work.]

When I called out to him, my father only turned his eyes to me.

[There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding. Leaving the Empire was my mother’s secret plan, and I just inherited it.]

[…..Grandmother intended to defect from the Empire?]

My uncle, Gardacle Quordenze, was murdered, and my grandmother died subjugating the mature demonic beasts. …..The story around here is somewhat like a sensitive gum, so I haven’t been able to hear a very deep story so far.

I thought about asking Tesh and other servants, but they were likely to say, [Isn’t it better to ask Master directly?].

When I was thinking about how to approach this topic, my father looked at me and smiled, seemingly finding my reaction interesting.

[You’d be surprised. My mother, who devoted herself to help build the Empire, actually intended to abandon it.]

[Yes, naturally.]

[However, Mother was really bold in that regard. she was the kind of person who would mercilessly discard anything that she had earned through hardships, if she knew it would be a loss.]

Then, my father let out a sigh as if he was about to let out something heavy.

[…To my mother, the Empire back then was no more than a harmful and useless thing.]

Zinkaen Empire.

The country that rules the western part of the continent nowadays was born on the Eruo continent about 55 years ago.

The political conflict between the priests that began in the Holy City of Maguaose, the center of St. Navenpos in the Bermana region, can be said to be a turning point in history that turned the entire continent into chaos.

What is the history of the Eruo continent? It boils down to the history of the Bermana region.

Called the most fertile land on the continent, it was both the cradle of culture and a graveyard.

In ancient times, the people of manipulators reigned as rulers there, and then, in the Age of Priests, the Zeth Church Holy High Society built the Holy City of Maguaose there.

It is an undeniable historical fact that the Bermana region has been the most advanced land on the Eruo continent from recorded history to the Age of Priests.

In recent years, it can be said that the Royal Capital Levios or the Imperial Capital Zinkaen is the most advanced on the continent, but this is an irregular state when considering the history of the Eruo continent. Perhaps that is the trend of the times.

The current provinces of the Kingdom of Levios and the Empire of Zinkaen have always been “regions”, in the bad sense of history, where the sun never shines.

Far from the glamorous culture, it is an unattractive land fragmented into small territories ruled by a native lord with no wisdom or knowledge.

In the eastern and western parts of the continent, the native lords were constantly competing for lands and foods, but about 700 years ago, a major historical event broke out that completely changed the situation.

From the large-scale field in the western part of the continent, a mature demonic beast that was ranked first in the threat-class…and later described by historians as a “catastrophe” and a [Great Demonic Beast] had arisen.

When this great demonic beast appeared in the western part of the continent, it began to advance towards the Bermana region while devastating the surrounding areas one after another.

Knowing the direction of the great demonic beast’s march, the Zeth Church Holy High Society dispatched an army three times to subdue it, but all of them ended in failure. There were more than 100 high-class priests, including the third expeditionary force, and a considerable number of people with magic powers, including low-class priests. Everyone must have thought that there was nothing on earth that could not be defeated by that army. Yet they were defeated and forced to retreat.

However, it still managed to buy a temporary stop, the great demonic beast died of natural causes before the decisive battle at Saint Navenpos was imminent.

According to the book, a colorless, transparent, marble-sized orb is still being kept in the Holy City of Maguaose.

This series of events triggered a change in the crisis awareness of the Zeth Church Holy High Society.

The reality was that there was a catastrophe that far surpassed the Charybdis-class mature demonic beast of the Quordenze territory, which had been considered the greatest threat until then.

Even though the orb actually existed, 1,600 years ago…then 900 years ago…..the fairy-tale-like legend of the great demonic beast that appeared was a true event.

The western continent, which was devastated by the great demonic beast, could not be left alone. After all, the priests thought that it was necessary to prepare for the future, as they had just tasted the threat and terror of the great demonic beast.

Therefore, the Pope at the time proposed colonization of the western part of the continent. He thought of destroying the native lords and letting the priests rule the land. Of course, those who were elected were the children of the Founder who are not in a position to succeed the family.

This also includes reflection on the fact that the native lords were too powerless against the great demonic beast. In short, the next time a similar demonic beast appears, these elected priests will become a shield for Saint Navenpos and buy enough time. It was quite a merciless policy.

For that reason, unwanted children were collected from the various priest families and thrown into various parts of the western continent.

Because it became a precedent, it became customary for the priest’s house to throw an unwanted child into the western part of the continent. Although it was half-hearted to throw him into the West, where there are many priests, they expected the child would still have affection toward their parents’ houses.

Due to this historical background, there were more priestly nobles in the western part of the continent than in the eastern part.

It can be said that this soil, which is highly susceptible to the influence of the Zeth Church Holy High Society, was prepared 700 years ago.

Thanks to this, they will continue to be forced into proxy wars under the guidance of the priest during the turbulent times.

Until the emergence of Emperor Zinkaen, the western continent was a hell of a world where blood was washed away with blood.

[Since our status as an Imperial Noble has become useless, it’s still a great decision. Even though it should have been a position that she got through the turbulent times with Emperor Zinkaen…]

[According to my mother, when the Voistra Kingdom was dismantled and the Quordenze territory was reunified, the benefits were more than the effort put into it. She had no attachments to the Empire nor any regrets.]

Once upon a time, my grandmother Cassia was angry at the Quordenze family being tossed around by the Voistra Kingdom, and fled outside the territory in search of a way out.

The quagmire of war that had become normal in the western part of the continent was a source of trouble for the Quordenze family at the time.

The reason why the Kingdom of Voistra was always superior to the Quordenze family was not only because there was a difference in ground power in the first place, but the major factor was that there were no large forces to watch out for in the western, northern, and southern parts of Voistra… Or rather, the Quordenze territory in the eastern part of Voistra, which had unified the Amelia River and the Ovieto River, was the only major force and an enemy to be wary of.

The Voistra family would not have any problems even if they used all of their resources in the eastern part of the country in order to crush their only opposition.

What the Quordenze family needed was a Great Noble in the western continent. It is also a large Noble who has a bad relationship with the Voistra Kingdom as much as possible.

If a gigantic power were to emerge in the western part of the continent, the Voistra Kingdom would fall into a state of titty cock sandwiched between east and west, and the resources for the Quordenze family could be cut in half or even less.

The worst possible development would be the birth of a Great Noble in the western part of the continent who has a friendly relationship with the Kingdom of Voistra. It would be a game over for the Quordenze family.

Before the Voistra Kingdom did such political maneuvering on the side of Quordenze’s bullying, it was necessary to somehow get the West to come together. …..Well, I understand it in theory, but when it comes to suddenly leaving the house, Cassia’s decision-making speed was amazing.

On top of that, since she ran away from home when she was younger than Fanny, I wondered if she was a little too impatient.

After leaving the territory, Cassia set out on a journey to the current imperial territory.

This was in order to select promising Nobles who were worthy of reigning as Great Nobles, and to build a friendly relationship with the Quordenze family.

After that, after many twists and turns, Cassia met the young Emperor Zinkaen, who was burning with ambition to unify the western continent, and threw herself into the battle.

[It must’ve been difficult for father to follow through, yes?]

When my father was born, the Quordenze family was already an Imperial Noble. I wondered if I hadn’t thought of anything when I left.

[Both my brother and I remember being treated kindly by Emperor Zinkaen. My brother even called Emperor Arginis his brother. Rather, it’s probably because of that, I didn’t really want to see an Empire ruled by the third Emperor.]

In other words, no one in the Quordenze family had any lingering feelings for the Empire.

[Besides, speed was important if we were to cut ties with the Empire. As the reign of the Three Emperors lasted, the Spierzeig family would regain their strength. The mighty arms of Emperor Zinkaen and Emperor Arginis had forcibly reduced their power, and if we didn’t bite while the influence was still there, all that awaited Quordenze would be a descent fall. Considering that my young mother risked her life to unify the current mainland, cutting off the Empire isn’t such a big decision.]

If you are looking for romance in history, the founding of the Zinkaen Empire is the heroic tale of a passionate man who put an end to the turbulent times in the west that lasted for over 100 years. However, if you look at this from Quordenze’s point of view, it is nothing but the creation of power to keep the Voistra Kingdom in check.

Cassia supported Emperor Zinkaen’s western unification project and devoted herself to its hegemony. When she left the Quordenze territory, she probably never imagined that the reward would be more than a restraint.

Emperor Zinkaen, who had beaten all the Nobles in the west of the continent, raised an army to clarify the conflict with the Kingdom of Voistra. This is the beginning of the attack on Reisleaf.

Today, that battle is generally talked about as a feat of the Voistra Kingdom that repelled Emperor Zinkaen’s invasion, but in reality it was nothing much of a feat.

The true purpose of this battle was to reunify the Quordenze territory.

The point is, while Emperor Zinkaen was attracting attention at Reisleaf Castle, Cassia went to kill all of Quordenze’s collateral.

In fact, at this time, the soldiers who could be called the main force of Zinkaen’s army were in Quordenze instead of Reisleaf.

Cassia who became the leader, Galfis who was Emperor Zinkaen’s right-hand man, the young Nobles who joined because of their desire to unify the West, and the Imperial soldiers under direct control…all of these were used to unify Quordenze.

Only Emperor Zinkaen and his second army were attacking Raisleaf Castle.

Cassia, who returned to Newnelly with a large army, forcibly inherited the family estate and used that momentum to invade the territories of collateral relatives.

The Voistra Kingdom was too busy fighting Emperor Zinkaen to help their puppets on Quordenze.

Thus, Cassia reunified the Quordenze territory in an instant. It was fortunate for the people of the Quordenze territory that they were able to limit the battle to a very short-term decisive battle with an overwhelming military force. There is nothing more wasteful than being exhausted by internal conflicts after all.

The commoners were happy that the internal strife in Quordenze was over in such a short period of time, and they praised Cassia for accomplishing this as the Princess of Five Domains.

After that, Cassia continued to support the policy of Spierzeig’s repression, and the Quordenze family was able to enjoy a brief period of peace.

It can be said that Cassia Quordenze was the worst enemy of all Quordenze family Heads in the history of the Spierzeig family.

[Depending on the observer, Quordenze would appear to be moving only for profit. The fact that we belong to the Levios Kingdom is also for profit. What would happen if that profit were to disappear…there’s no way the Levios family wouldn’t think of that.]

[I think it’s only natural for Nobles to move for their own gain… but I still don’t think my mental image is good.]

The fact that the Quordenze family switched to the Levios Kingdom wasn’t because they had the same ideals, nor because they sympathized with the Levios family, or because participation was essential for security reasons, but simply because they sought the benefit of overthrowing the Spierzeig.

On the day when the Spierzeig family is destroyed, it is impossible to predict what will happen next. It must be assumed that we will ruthlessly choose the most profitable course of action at the time.

From the outside, it may look like the Quordenze is a profit-seeking Noble family. If I was the Levios family’s Prince, I would never put my full trust in them.

[…..20 years isn’t short, but it’s definitely not long.]

[It’s been about 80 years since the Kingdom of Levios was founded, so we’ve been a part of it for a quarter of its lifetime.]

My father poured liquor into my goblet and responded with a self-deprecating look.

[A quarter of lifetime won’t change much. Quordenze and Zeldomitra weren’t part of the initial members. Our position won’t change much.]

Of the five major nobles of the Levios Kingdom, three were the initial members.

The Levios family, which is a Royal family. Milendorva family, naturally, as it was founded by the younger brother of the First King Levios. And then the Adellahan family.

Crowne Adellahan gives the family the strong image of a warrior, but they rarely made diplomatic missteps as well.

When she was desperate for the unification of the Adellahan region, she sent her own daughter to the Levios family in the form of a half-hostage, and forcibly built a relationship. Thanks to that, she enjoys the position of a contributor to the founding of the Kingdom.

Well, rather than being good at diplomacy, it might be more accurate to say that she has an eye for distinguishing strong and talented people.

On the other hand, the Quordenze and Zeldomitra families were not involved in the founding of the Kingdom at all, and were Nobles who joined much later on.

The relatively good relationship between Quordenze and Zeldomitra is partly due to the fact that our positions as outsiders are similar, so to speak. Although it depends on the definition, the Zeldomitra family is recognized as a priestly Noble family, so our positions were similar in that respect as well.

[However, the Levios family often accepted those who contributed to the founding of the Empire …..It may be a natural decision.]

[It was none other than the Levios family who felt the threat of the Empire the most. If Quordenze, the tip of the sword aimed at the Kingdom, fell, it would be a joy to all of them. Back then, there was still a long-running family feud with the Milendorva family.]

The Zinkaen Empire was a country with such momentum that it was hard to believe that it was exhausted by the turbulent times.

This was because compared to the Kingdom of Levios, which was only an alliance of Noble families, the top and bottom controls were well organized with the Emperor at the top. Since most of the Imperial Nobles who belonged to them were defeated by Emperor Zinkaen at least once, it can be said that such a relationship is inevitable in a sense.

And the fact that it was a late-starting country is also a big factor.

A nation of Nobles was something that had never been possible before in history. This is because the Zeth Church Holy HIgh Society did not allow it. For that reason, Voistra and Levios repeated trial and error, and while making many mistakes, they arranged their political systems.

The Zinkaen Empire, which started later, did well in that regard.

They were able to build a nation by picking the best of each from the Voistra Kingdom for the hierarchical relationship with a specific Noble family at the top, and Levios Kingdom for the technique of bundling many noble families.

Once the Zinkaen Empire was founded, it grew and developed rapidly, and its momentum surpassed that of the Levios Kingdom.

The second Emperor, Emperor Arginis, was an excellent next generation who ran around the battlefield with Emperor Zinkaen, and was deeply trusted by the Imperial nobility, and had many achievements in the battlefield.

In that state, the Quordenze family, who had a close relationship with the Emperor and increased their power by unifying the mainland, and their sworn friends, the Sylopea family, the Evenafis family, and the former Voistra Royal family, the Spierzeig family, are glaring at the eastern part of the continent. I guess that made the Nobles of the Kingdom to lose their balls.

Once Emperor Arginis gave the command to conquer the eastern part, the Nobles of the Levios Kingdom would have been defeated one by one and the Kingdom would perish.

However, history didn’t go that way.

[…..As long as the Quordenze and Spierzeig are fighting, the Levios Kingdom will be safe. The Quordenze family agitated the western Imperial Nobles, who had a friendly relationship with them, to intensify their conflict with the Imperial Eastern Nobles, shaking the internal situation of the Empire, exposing the lack of centripetal force of the third Emperor, and increasing the possibility of a split. Quordenze, Sylopea, Evenafis….. If the influential Noble families in the center of the continent convert to the Kingdom one after another, the Levios family that organizes them will have a foil. It will also put pressure on the Milendorva family, which the Levios continue to have internal conflicts with. …..They had nothing to lose. In the worst case, even if the three families lose to the Spierzeig family, the former Imperial Nobles will just perish. It won’t affect Levios much.]

As my father said, for the Levios family, the dispute between the Quordenze family and the Spierzeig family has merit, but there are almost no disadvantages.

[Even for us, it is more advantageous to belong to the Kingdom than to belong to the Empire to defeat the Spierzeig family. Even so, there are few disadvantages. Isn’t it a good deal with mutual benefits?]

Thus, the Quordenze family was welcomed by the Levios Kingdom on a grand scale and became a member of the Kingdom’s nobility.

Because this incident was good news for the Levios family, they reportedly spread the word around. The Levios Kingdom is the most stable nation on the continent, and the Levios family is the just.

It is said that the Milendorva family, who still hold a deep grudge against the Quordenze family by then, were cornered during the internal conflict and were forced into a ceasefire with the Levios family.

In any case, in the distant future, this event will most certainly be written in textbooks on the history of the Eruo continent.

――With the demise of the second Emperor, Arginis, conflict within the Empire intensified. The powerful Nobles of the central continent, including the Quordenze family, the Evenafis family, and the Sylopea family all converted to the Kingdom of Levios. (The Separation of the Three Nobles from the Empire’s Incident)――something like that. I would like the future Eruo continental people to do their best to memorize the era name.

[The Levios family must have thought that the battle would turn into a quagmire and end with a stalemate in the central part of the continent. I don’t think anyone would have imagined that Reisleaf Castle could be taken down with very little casualties on our part.]

My father said with a slightly exasperated tone.

However, that smile naturally disappeared like light snow, and a tense expression appeared from underneath.

[…..Father stubbornly believed that he could go all the way to Othelloria.]

[Grandfather did?]

[Destroy the Spierzeig family. That was my mother’s final wish.]

Right there, my father looked at me.

[Perhaps my father knew the truth. Even if we managed to take Reisleaf, the Levios family would intervene before we could reach Othelloria… But, that terrifying yet sad look on my father’s face. I couldn’t say anything…]

From my father’s point of view, it seems that recently my grandfather was in a fairly extreme state. Ah, you can see it, that grandfather seems to have had a naive side as well.

Perhaps he was trying not to let his grandson see him like that. I don’t remember seeing my grandfather in such a precarious state.

[You may have already been praised, but my father was really happy. Knight Gatoren said that after the fall of Reisleaf, father has regained his composure. Lately, perhaps due to his age, he’s been doing a lot of unreasonable things. He must have been impatient thinking about my mother’s last will…]

[What exactly is the content of grandmother’s will?]

Thinking that now would be my chance to ask, I immediately threw a question.

However, my father lightly shook his head. Saying that he doesn’t know.

[Father was the only one who actually heard it. But, if I have to make a guess…]

…..Settle my grudge with the Spierzeig.

[Yes, mother must’ve said so.]

Scary…

I even got the feeling that his line just now contained its own grudge against the family who murdered his own brother.

[So, Grandfather…]

[He has been pushing himself to the limit. I’ve tried my best to assist your grandfather so that he could wield his spear freely. However, we still failed to reach Reisleaf.]

My father stood up straight and stretched out his hand towards me.

[Wilk, I’ve said it many times, but you really did a good job. Mother… your grandmother should be happy too.]

“Pomu, pomu,” he put his hands on my head twice, and finally he placed both hands on my shoulders.

It seemed like that was the end of the compliment, and my father sat down on the sofa and started drinking.

[Based on that, how should the Quordenze family behave in the Royal Capital’s social gathering? …..Wilk, tell me what you think.]

From the flow of the story so far, it can be seen that the Quordenze family is not so trusted by the Levios family. On top of that, my presence with an abnormal amount of mana will be revealed, so it’s inevitable that they’ll be more cautious.

[To side with the Kingdom, and temporarily cease conflict with the Spierzeig?]

I wonder if this is the place for now. Summarizing the voices that I hear around me, these requirements emerge.

[Is that Wilk’s idea?]

However, it seems that it was not a very favorable answer for my father. I could feel his gaze sharpen a little.

[…..is what I often hear nowadays.]

[Then, what does Wilk personally think? Don’t be shy, for your father will not be angry.]

Judging from the way he said it, I guessed that my father was predicting my thoughts to some extent.

In other words, my father too… No, that can be done later. I looked at my father.

[I believe it is best to stay favorable in the Kingdom’s eyes.]

I think it’s fine as long as you don’t leave without dignity.

[I see, you accept interference. What does Wilk have in mind, and why do you believe that it’s the best scenario?]

My father must have already grasped my thoughts. But even knowing that, it was the kind of claim that was hard to put into words.

However, I also understand that this is the answer my father is looking for.

After moistening my tongue with sweet liquor, I answered slowly.

[A truce.]

With a noise, my father placed the goblet on the desk.

The expression that stared at me wasn’t that of a gentle papa, it was just terrifying. It is completely that of the gang leader.

But if I stop here, I won’t be able to say anything anymore. I summoned up my courage and continued to explain.

[Considering the safety of the family, that will be the best path.]

It’s a matter of risk.

If I could destroy the Spierzeig, I would have done so in a heartbeat.

This one Noble family is too dangerous for the Quordenze family. Considering the historical background, I feel like I will be fighting against them again sooner or later.

However, even if I rushed and crushed them, I couldn’t envision a good future after that.

[Do you think so?]

[…..yes.]

I thought he would get mad at me for ignoring my enemy, but unexpectedly, my father’s expression changed to one full of anguish.

[While dodging the Levios family’s interference, we will assault Othelloria City and destroy it…]

With my head down, I silently listened to my father’s words, which began like a monologue.

[The battle in Otheloria will be extremely fierce. Due to the effects of the Yersinia disaster, the Spierzeig family is left with only three Highlords…the current generation Head, the predecessor, and the Princess. In addition, the knights from all over the Voistra Plain will gather up. Othelloria is not suitable for siege. It’s going to be a big field battle…]

Thinking about it, I was really lucky that I was able to kill Verret Spierzeig.

[…..Even if we win this battle, not all the remnants of the Knight House will perish. Centipede’s legs will struggle even after Othelloria is conquered. It is conceivable that the Spierzeig family will be raised back by the relatives of the branch family as the Head and will thoroughly oppose us. Defending the land between Reisleaf and Othelloria would also require a great deal of effort. The conquered city is too big.]

Then, my father put one hand on his stomach.

[To kill a serpent, just give it a giant carcass…because once it has swallowed the carcass it will be stuck in place, and you can easily kill it with a spear. The Spierzeig is too big. Compared to its heyday, it’s much stronger. Even though it fell, it is a strong territory that even Emperor Zinkaen once gave up trying to destroy.]

Considering the size of the original Quordenze territory, it will more than double if it swallows the current Spierzeig’s territory entirely. Like a stupid and greedy snake that swallowed a large prey and couldn’t move.

[And that’s not all. Attacking Othelloria will earn us the ire of the Levios family and other Royal Nobles. Besides, if our common enemy, the Spierzeig, disappears, the western part of the Empire will lose cohesion, and the third Emperor will be taken down. I don’t know… In such a situation, if Quordenze, which is located between the Empire and the Kingdom, will be able to survive while we are too swollen to make a move.]

My father seemed to have already assumed what I was worried about.

The Spierzeig family is certainly troublesome, but they can’t be crushed so easily. If you crush it poorly, you’ll only lose out.

[If we continue to stay under the banner of Levios Kingdom, we might be able to digest the Voistra Plains. But that will take a long time. If an incident occurs that affects the entire continent, Quordenze, who can’t move properly, will be left behind by the time.]

Not only power struggles between Nobles, but also demonic beast disasters like the demonic beast Yersinia and the demonic beast Charybdis can occur at any time.

[Besides, there’s no one who doesn’t watch out for Quordenze, who has swallowed up the Voistra Plains. Duke Crowne Adellahan will attend the capital’s social gathering this time. She’s wary of you, Wilk.]

[Me?]

[I don’t know how many decades it will take, but by the time the Spierzieg territory is completely ours, I will have already handed over the family headship to Wilk. Duke Crowne intuitively understands that she must keep an eye on the man who will move the mighty Quordenze family in the near future. However, I was the one who lured her out…]

My father said that he had deliberately spread rumors about me in order to increase the deterrence of the joint retaliation pact. Rather than making a poor judgment based on rumors alone, it is better to have them actually come so that we can see the reaction of the other party.

[She’s one of the Heroes who survived the turbulent times. She has good instincts. If Wilk were to be seen as a danger by Duke Crowne, she would definitely give instructions to the whole family to prepare for the next war. She will build a secret alliance against Quordenze. That old lady has that kind of fame and achievements.]

…..Somehow, I feel like I’m going to be in a terrible predicament in the social gathering. Is it possible for me to be absent due to poor physical condition? I don’t think I can do it, ugh.

[Decades from now, Duke Crowne will no longer be in the Adellahan family. …..However, the current Marquis Adellahan is highly regarded as a warrior. And if peaceful times continue, the Levios family will be more powerful than they are now. It depends on the Nobles who agree, but it is not easy to predict what will happen if they clash with the Quordenze family, which has the Voistra plains. If the relationship with the empire deteriorates, we will be in for a pincer attack. It will be like the former Voistra Kingdom. Diplomacy alone will not be enough. Unless the Quordenze territory itself makes a leap in power, it cannot become a deterrent.]

Just listening to my father’s story makes me feel uncomfortable. I just want to spend my time in love and peace with a cute girl in the position of the current Head of the Quordenze family.

[Knowing that much, why is father…]

I didn’t know why he still intended to pick that course despite knowing the risk.

[My mother and father…and for my brother’s sake. Originally, I was not in a position to inherit the family estate…that’s why I had to tear the Spierzeig family to pieces. That’s what was imposed on me. Call it a responsibility.]

I felt that it was the most delicate part of my father, his true feelings.

I thought he was acting solely out of his hatred of Spierzieg, but judging from the way he spoke, I think that his father had been in anguish for a long time in his position as the Head of the Quordenze family, which suddenly came to him.

Considering the unit of the Quordenze family, I understand that it would be dangerous to forcibly attack the Spierzeig family here. However, my father, who knows his family’s feelings better than anyone else, cannot put a stop to it.

If he had originally been the Head of the family, he might have been able to choose to close his eyes to revenge and put the family first. However, there is a past that my father only became the family Head because his brother perished. The past binds his heart.

It’s a very difficult position.

I was at a loss for words..

[But Wilk did mention a truce, not a ceasefire… Can you tell me why?]

It seemed that my father noticed the subtle differences in nuances. I think that’s because my father came to the same conclusion as me.

I don’t know if my answer will comfort my father, but since he asked me, I should answer.
