All the plans so far were based on the premise that Nicole would take Jason.
We couldn't have prepared a substitute right away than that big premise had collapsed.
In the meantime, we can only act now to "keep an eye on things, while taking appropriate action".
(Why are you doing this... If it were true, I would have figured out a way to hit some kind of fabric stone into the future by now using the information I got at the ten-year-old...)
Just one.
Yes, the plan broke down because of just one person.
That was all a dangerous plan, but it's a big difference from not having a plan that seems "likely to succeed".
Mainly in terms of mental stability.
A little farther away, but I decided that would be all right.
I can't think of all the conspiracies anyway.
Even if Nicole were to be used in the future, Isaac was now thinking of cleaning up what was in front of him.
----------
About ten days have passed since the end of the ten-year-old ceremony.
If you finish, you'll also miss clothes that are slightly heavier on the front with flashy decorations such as golden innocent buttons.
(You have to do it yourself than you can expect from Nicole)
That's what Isaac thought. The action he took was gathering information.
It wasn't about how much power the Royal Army had, it was mainly looking into relationships.
Priority begins to be given to examining issues between houses.
With the hateful house on both sides, he said, "If he's around, I won't cooperate. Instead, I'll let the royal family know and we'll end this together" and other things must be avoided.
This is what I learned about Nicole.
The element of uncertainty must be eliminated.
Of these, relationships were the most important.
Isaac himself can't underestimate people's emotions because they sometimes move with emotions.
It is good for those who hate each other to dispute with each other.
In the meantime, I just wanted to avoid getting my feet pulled.
That's why I was first looking into the causes of house-to-house as a matter of priority.
(Considering the causes between houses, I created a new one...)
Isaac killed Melinda and Nathan.
As far as Fred's reaction is concerned, it will be certain that the Wilmente Marquis will be the enemy of the Wellrod Marquis.
Besides, that's not all.
Fred was blowing into Jason somehow.
Even though there was a breakdown, Melinda also gave me the royal end for once.
You should think the royal impression has gone bad too.
(In the first place, it's tough from the start point. Even though Nathan and Melinda are in the way, the Royal Family and the Marquis will hate us if we get rid of them.)
This was Isaac's clue.
I relied too much on the sweet idea that "noble society would have no problem with people dying from home disturbances".
In my previous life I used to watch stories like assassinations in books.
And above all, assassinations were a common occurrence in the history of the kingdom.
Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Reed had two Dukes.
But not now.
The reason for this is clear and concise.
Because he planned a rebellion four hundred years ago.
Among the younger brothers of the first King Steve, two younger brothers who contributed to the founding of the nation were awarded the Duke.
And both families were expected not only as royal aides, but also as a preparation in the event that no succession was born to the royal family.
But this wasn't a good idea.
Since its founding, for about a hundred years it has been able to unite unanimously to quell outings and domestic chaos.
But it also ends with the advent of peaceful times.
Because the Lord of the Duke's house at the time had ambitions.
"We also draw the blood of the royal family. It's not weird to be on the throne '
Those who thought so actually went into action.
Assassination of the then king.
He persuaded his surroundings to take the throne because Roy, the prince, was still young "because he would give up his throne when he grew up".
But the other duchess were dissatisfied with this.
'Why would he be chosen? Even I draw royal blood!'.
Thus another assassination took place, and now the head of a different Duke's house became king.
In doing so, the clan of the first Duke family to become kings retaliates.
Retaliation has called for retribution, and in just a decade there has been an anomaly in which as many as eight kings are replaced.
It is literally a black history that I want to smear in black, even in the history of the Reid kingdom.
It was Roy who grew up worrying about this situation.
It is good for the king to take his place.
But because I didn't think it was a good idea to replace it for a short period of time.
At the time, the Reid kingdom was in a state of killing each other over the throne of kings, even from other countries.
If left unattended, there is a high risk of being attacked from abroad.
Roy decided to sweep the Duke's house with the wisdom of the Four Marquis, especially the fourth generation Marquis Welrod owner Austin, who is still present, even though he is old.
The plot succeeded, and the two Dukes were executed whole clans.
Roy becomes the thirteenth king and brings stability to the kingdom of Reed.
The Duke's house was completely overthrown, and the only house to be brought to the royal family was the one awarded the countenance.
Since then, there has been no "Duke's House" in the Reid Kingdom.
He became merely a one-generation duke in honor to those who made a great contribution to the kingdom.
Even the royal family has this many blood-smelling incidents.
As a "sickness and death" if seen by the entire aristocratic community, it should be quite a few given the matter being handled sneakingly.
Isaac, in particular, didn't think it would be an issue because he was making it look like self-defense.
I was too focused on eliminating it to even take into account the human mood involved with Melinda and the others.
Fred hates me because of that, and he's blown into something that's never happened to Jason.
Because Jason wanted to be a big shot, he's just helping now.
Isaac intended to gather information in order not to repeat the same failures.
(That stinks, though... This)
Naturally, the Marquis has a book about the friendliness and wickedness of each house.
Historical books.
There are still unfamiliar houses due to hundreds of years old causes.
It's not like we should just look into the last few decades.
I have to read enough to be ungrateful just to read a book.
(No, let's just get rid of the deadly issue. some retrieval is unavoidable)
Nothing. Isaac doesn't want perfect knowledge.
With the minimum knowledge you need, that's fine.
(I should leave this kind of thing to the secretary, Norman... Exactly, I still can't do it right now)
It's the secretary's job to assist with relationships.
But I can't ask you to do it yet.
Again, the important thing of "rebellion against the royal family" cannot be easily spoken of without having them cooperate in some kind of plan and become an accomplice once.
Until then, I had to do something on my own.
If this was just the time of rebirth, I would have consulted Norman thoughtfully.
But Nathan and the others were gone, and the "sense of crisis in front of us" prevented them from rushing into action.
Because of this, he had entered a protective attitude, even if he intended to be "cautious".
If I had realized that, I might have unmastered the plan more than I had decided to "live a different way than I did in my previous life".
It was the most troublesome behavior that he was unaware of.
(Time to take a break)
Isaac interrupted the investigation because he was losing focus.
The purpose is not to read the materials, but to remember the contents.
I don't have to read it.
If I can make use of it when I need it, that's fine.
----------
I was wondering if anyone was there and headed to the living room, but no one was there.
I had no choice, so I decided to relax and enjoy the tea by myself.
"Oh, Isaac. Taking a break?"
"I got a little tired when I was reading the book. Lisa, how about your sister join us?
After a while, Lisa came.
Isaac invites her because she also misses drinking tea alone.
But Lisa looks sorry.
"I'm sorry. I'm about to learn how to take care of Kendra."
"Well, then, you have no choice."
Isaac is well aware of Lisa's circumstances.
No, it was rather Isaac who advised her to help protect Kendra.
Kendra has a nanny.
But I also needed someone to support my nanny.
When Isaac was there, the maids were helping Adela, but in Kendra's case, she was going to ask Lisa to help as well.
This is also Lisa's circumstance.
Basically, you will live in the Wang capital while you are a student.
But my parents were also wondering whether to live with me in the Wang capital.
After all, it was because I was hesitant to let one of my daughters of my age live in the Wang capital.
So Isaac suggested one thing.
- I wish Lisa could help me babysit Kendra and let her live in the Marquis Welrod mansion.
Many barons can't afford to hire babysitters, so they often need to raise their own children.
Even for Lisa, the experience of babysitting is a plus.
Above all, I feel safe letting my daughter live alone.
Fortunately, I know Lisa doesn't have to worry about her personality, and sometimes it's Adela's daughter, and Lucia accepted Isaac's suggestion positively.
Sometimes it's a good experience for Lisa, and "I looked after the son and daughter of the Marquis Welrod" is a big plus when looking for a fiancé.
Basically, the main thing is to "come home from school and watch Kendra while doing her homework," so there's less burden.
I'm not even being told to play the role of a nanny in earnest.
They're just expecting Kendra's nanny to be enough to make time for her to rest.
I also get paid properly, so if I think of it as a part-time residence, it's a broken response.
"Are you used to your work?
"Not yet. It's very difficult to deal with a baby. Your mother told me Isaac was quiet, but even your brothers and sisters are completely different."
"Well, because you're another person."
Kendra is more right about what she should look like as a baby.
Those like Isaac were the more exceptions.
"It's tough, but thanks for sharing a good job. If it's the Marquis Welrod mansion, you don't have to worry about thieves, and you can live in peace."
"You don't have to worry about it. Lisa, you're taking care of your sister. Besides, it's because of your sister Lisa's personality that they think it's okay to leave Kendra to you. Even if I did, they would have told me no one could."
"Try not to betray your expectations. See you then."
"See you later."
Lisa left the living room.
She found Isaac when she walked by, so I couldn't help but say one word.
(Lisa is starting to move in preparation for her new life. I just want you to do your best because I took care of you...)
Isaac felt a little lonely to be separated from Lisa, who was always there for me.
But there's no other way.
All I'm saying is that one day the time has come for a visit goodbye.
I have to work hard, too.
The plan went blank.
That was very hard.
But it's not all bad.
On the contrary, it also means that you are free to paint on even more canvases.
That means it's worth the challenge.
Isaac was starting to think positively that it wasn't too bad to walk down a new path with his own feet.
