Roman took a sip of tea.

As he set down the teacup, savoring the bitter taste, Lucas, who was standing opposite him, reported his investigation.

It is as expected, sir. After moving the Black Moon and leaking information, Earl Douglas contacted the Northeast Association and expressed his intention to go to war. In fact, it seems that it is not a matter that will end with a simple emotional response, given that the lords of the north are gathering troops.

The northern beast is an extreme figure. Even if I reacted emotionally, I won t soften the words once spoken.

devising a plan

Roman found the right person.

By absorbing Black Moon into Hao Mun, information about the slush fund was obtained, and the relationship between Earl Douglas and the Northeast Alliance had an attractive element.

From then on, Roman let his imagination run wild in his head.

At a time when it was necessary to organize the sequence in the northeast area, I thought about how to use it in various directions.

The moment I met Dmitry's peasants.

Roman's plan was complete.

The scattered puzzles became one, and Roman thought of a picture that would destroy the Northeast Association.

'There was no word or action that was not included in the plan.'

Provocation at a social party.

I purposely uttered offensive remarks in front of everyone, knowing that Viscount Conrad would be outraged.

Haomun's report revealed his disposition.

He was proud of the fact that he belonged to the "Northeast Federation" in his own way, and he could hardly stand the remarks of the eldest son of a nobleman.

understand people's tendencies.

Viscount Konrad is a key figure in the Northeast Association, and his tendencies inevitably influence the decisions of the Association.

From start to finish.

The development was as expected.

As Viscount Konrad responded to the provocation, a feud between the Northeast Association and Dmitry arose, and the moment Roman declared the convention, the Northeast Association naturally entered the trap.

The same was the case with Earl Douglas.

If the Northeast Federation had bowed its head low from the start, Earl Douglas would have had a cause to quell his anger, but he made the situation worse by trying to make a profit.

do they know

The fact that the inclination of just one person is sinking the Northeast Association into the depths of despair as time goes by.

said Roman.

So far, things have gone as planned. However, Viscount Conrad is not the type of person who, unlike Count Douglas, runs into a corner when he is in trouble. That's why he apologized to me at the social party and didn't raise his voice even after the contest was over. It will be the same this time. If Earl Douglas comes out strong, he's more likely to give up his pride and raise the white flag first."

it was obvious

strong weak yak gang (強弱弱強).

He was a typical type of nobleman.

His opponent was a wild beast from the north, but he didn't have the courage to fight with his face blushing until the end.

so that.

From now on, spread the rumors as planned. So that the spilled water cannot be picked up again. Create a situation so that Earl Douglas' wrath does not subside, no matter what the Northeast Alliance uses to ameliorate the situation. When they are in a predicament from which they can no longer retreat, they will be able to let go of their low self-esteem.

"Okay."

suddenly.

Lucas felt sorry for his opponent.

Like a snake that gradually tightens its leash.

Roman's plan did not allow any chance for the opponent to escape.

* * *

Rumors started with little things.

Douglas Youngji.

The merchant who was doing business there spoke with a sighing voice as he handed the goods to the customer.

Probably we won t be able to do business properly for a while.

What do you mean?

What do you mean? I'm receiving supplies from the northeast area, and this time, the atmosphere between Count Douglas and the Northeast Association is very bad. At first, I thought it was just a feud, but the Northeast Alliance is preparing to attack Douglas Manor while sweeping away war supplies. So, for the time being, I have to close the business. You can't get delivery, can't you do business in the middle of a war?"

Is that really?

The guests were astonished.

war news.

It wasn't something to shed, and as soon as he returned home, he told his family everything he had heard.

The wife, who heard her husband's words, relayed the news to the nearby wives, who also told their families that Douglas was in danger with a serious expression on their faces.

It was said that a horse without feet travels a thousand li.

Rumors, which started from very small things, quickly spread throughout Douglas.

It wasn't just that.

The servants working at Douglas Castle spread rumors in a subtle voice while they were working.

I heard from a servant at Conrad, and when Viscount Conrad contacted Count Douglas, he expressed great anger. They just smashed all the furniture and there was a riot. This is not certain, but it seems that he is plotting some kind of revenge on Earl Douglas.

Viscount Conrad is a very snake-like man. On the surface, he will try to solve the problem with a smile, but he will surely seek revenge on Earl Douglas. If not, then the rumor that the Northeast Alliance will call up troops will not be possible. From what I've heard, they're trying to crush Count Douglas. Aren't we here to get involved in a war for nothing?"

servants' words.

It's usually nothing.

However, as the rumor spread throughout Douglas, the servants' chatter could not be overlooked.

Rumors quickly swelled.

If at first it was simply a rumor foretelling war.

At some point, rumors circulated that the Northeast Association had a ill will toward Earl Douglas.

The merchant who was the beginning of the rumor.

Servants who ignited rumors.

They all belonged to Haomun.

Hao Gate.

People living at the bottom of life.

People didn't think of them as important, but every word they spoke eventually shaped public opinion.

And the rumors that have swelled up like that.

Quang!

How dare you do me?! Issue a conscription order now! If I had admitted my mistake and showed a flirtatious side, I would have tried to look after him, but if he was talking like that, he would need a proper punishment. Named after the Douglas family. I will never forgive those bastards.

northern beast.

he exploded

Shortly after first contact with Earl Douglas.

After a long debate, the Northeast Association came to a conclusion.

The war with Earl Douglas has nothing to do with it. In a situation where Dmitry and the power of the northeast area are quarreling right now, if we lose our troops in the war for nothing, we cannot bear the aftermath. Isn't Roman Dmitry a very warlike character? Even if you bow your head to Earl Douglas and incur a financial loss, you need to save your strength to prepare for the dangers that lie ahead.

Then wait a few days and contact us. Still, don't you have a minimum of self-esteem?"

If your opponent curls his tail right away because he's angry.

The Northeast Alliance would look ridiculous.

So I waited.

The Northeast Association could not even dare to imagine that malicious rumors would spread during those days.

Count Douglas! That's a carrier! It's war! The Northeast Alliance has no intention of going to war, and is thinking about monetary compensation to ask for forgiveness for this incident. So please calm your anger. Rumors that spread around are absolutely different from our sincerity.

Count Douglas' face appeared.

Viscount Conrad tried to explain in an urgent voice, but Count Douglas had already covered his ears.

[Is it different from the truth? Viscount Conrad. Do you think I am blind? Everyone in the world is saying that the Northeast Association is working on a fix. When it's not, there's no smoke coming out of the chimney, and because you're doing something, people are afraid of it and are preparing for war.]

The drug went up.

The way his opponent made excuses as if it was nothing, on the contrary, turned Count Douglas' mind upside down.

[I didn't like you guys from the beginning. If they were like bats who swear around for profit, I thought they might show their teeth to me at any time. The reason I'm contacting you is not to compromise with you. So, get rid of the pretentious face. The day you and I meet in person, I will trample your face and make you laugh no more.]

widely-

communication was cut off.

It was a declaration of war.

A fire fell on the foot of the Northeast Alliance.

He wanted to avoid the war somehow, but if Earl Douglas had said this, war was inevitable.

said a nobleman.

It s a big deal. Earl Douglas is not a man of lies, and rumor has it that he is trying to attract the lords of the North. We can never win on our own. If war is unavoidable, we must somehow find a way to overwhelm them.

Central government! Let's contact them!

There was no way.

It would be great if he could get help from the nobles around him like Earl Douglas, but there was no way he could give him any help except for the Northeast Association due to a feud with Dmitry.

In that case, the only solution was to attract external forces.

The last contact wasn't a very good memory, but I contacted Count Fabius with the feeling of grabbing straw.

[Yes. I understand the difficult circumstances, but the central government cannot even get involved in such matters. And wasn't the Northeast Association wrong? If you made a mistake first, don't pass the course on to others.]

since last contact.

Count Fabius' reaction was a cold wind.

Viscount Konrad, who cut off communication at the clearly drawn line, looked back at the nobles with a speechless expression.

it's over. We can no longer avoid war.

It was cumbersome.

In the situation where the escape route was completely blocked, I felt like I was on my stomach.

War with Earl Douglas.

I do not think that the Northeast Alliance will be defeated unconditionally, but there were too many things that were lost in that war.

Everyone said nothing.

They ran around trying to somehow solve the problem, but reality did not give them any hope.

That was then.

Lord! Roman Dmitry has contacted you!

the communicator's words.

In an instant, the eyes of the nobles were focused.

* * *

Reason for contact?

it was obvious

It must have been intended to ridicule the Northeast Association.

Although he did not want to be contacted by heart, Viscount Conrad did, out of desperation.

[I heard you have a problem with Earl Douglas. Could you please explain the situation?]

Roman's question.

It was surprising.

In a calm voice, Viscount Konrad unknowingly expressed his frustration.

I have nothing to say to the Dmitry family, but the people of the Northeast Association, including myself, owed Barco a debt. However, Earl Douglas arbitrarily made a move to steal the Barco family's slush funds, and we found it and took our share. That's it. Earl Douglas, who later learned the truth, declared war on our responsibility, even though he had made a mistake first. We are sad. If they had released their slush funds fairly and distributed them appropriately, there would never have been any slushies.

It's not about seeking sympathy.

The opponent is Roman Dmitry.

Knowing that they wouldn't understand, they just spoke of their resentment out of frustration.

By the way.

[So what are you going to do? We can't stand by the forces of the north from passing over to the northeast area.]

Moment.

I saw Roman.

Roman's words.

What does that mean?

Are you sure you want to help us?

[It depends on the attitude of the Northeast Association. I can assure you, no matter what our relationship, Dmitry has no intention of ignoring what's going on in the northeast.]

That means.

It was a development completely different from what the Northeast Association had expected.
