Chapter 21. You Are Not Going to Say You Did Not Recognize Him, Are You?
May, 1276.
Kyle Kingdom.
BANG!
Duke Agenka slammed his desk.
“You are saying we will not participate in the war? What kind of nonsense is that?”
Ė n ǔ m а̂
The nobles exchanged wary glances.
One noble raised his hand.

Duke Agenka looked at the noble who had raised it.
‘…Marquis Ernesto.’
Marquis Ernesto Alteri.
The lord of Ernesto, a vast western territory of the Kyle Kingdom.
Ẃе b̈ n o̊.v̀ е̂ l Еn üm̈а̌
“…Speak, Marquis Ernesto.”
“Is this war a war against the Demon Tribe?”
He had struck a sore point.
Duke Agenka shook his head.

“It is not.”
“Then by the terms of our contract, there should be no issue even if we do not provide troops to the central authority… Am I wrong?”
Еn u m̄а̌ . і̂d
Duke Agenka was left speechless.
As Marquis Ernesto said, contractually, they had no obligation to send troops to the center.
Duke Agenka searched for a way out.
“However, if the allied forces are defeated in this war, they will invade our territory.”
Marquis Ernesto replied indifferently.
“That is something we can consider when the time comes, is it not?”

“You intend to deal with it only after the fire reaches your feet? That is foolish!”
Duke Agenka scolded him, pretending to be enraged.
“Foolish? Well… from where I stand, the foolish one seems to be Your Grace, not I….”
“What did you say?”
Duke Agenka’s face reddened.
Marquis Ernesto frowned and asked,

“Your Grace, why do you trust others so easily?”
“Trust others easily?”

“Yes.”
The marquis glanced around the room.
As this was a war council, nearly all prominent nobles were in attendance.
Great lords, their retainers, generals capable of routing armies alone.

Everyone of note in the Kyle Kingdom was gathered in one place.
Marquis Ernesto looked at Duke Agenka and spoke.
“Since we have come this far, I will speak frankly. I do not trust the other lords.”
“……”

The council chamber fell silent in an instant.
The nobles exchanged uneasy glances.

Duke Agenka frowned.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean exactly what I said. I fear that if we help the center and invade another country, we will be stabbed in the back afterward.”
The nobles’ gazes turned toward the Marquis of Moreno.
The territories of Marquis Ernesto and Marquis Moreno bordered each other.
Duke Agenka asked,

“…Have the two of you quarreled recently?”
Marquis Moreno snorted.
“A quarrel? We hardly speak to each other in the first place.”
There had never been any real connection.
Duke Agenka looked at Marquis Moreno.
“Marquis Ernesto. Marquis Moreno says there has been no connection between you. What is the meaning of this?”
Е n̈ u m а .i d̈
“How can there be no connection? Our territories share a border.”
“Then you are saying there was a connection?”

“Sharing a border is a connection, is it not?”
Duke Agenka pressed his forehead.
“That is no different from usual. You have lived like that all this time. Why is it suddenly a problem now?”
“No different from usual? A civil war has broken out in the Southern Continent. When humans are at war with one another, how can you say things are the same as before?”

“Marquis Ernesto….”
Duke Agenka let out a sigh.
He was irritated with himself for being unable to declare the man outright wrong.
Marquis Moreno, who had been listening quietly, stood up.

“I apologize to Duke Agenka, but I, too, will sit this war out.”
“Marquis Moreno!”
W̄eb n̊о v e l̈ Еnuṁ а̃
“I did not realize such a vicious hyena was living right beside my territory…. I will take my leave.”
Despite Duke Agenka’s attempts to stop him, Marquis Moreno turned his back.
Following him, his retainers filed out one after another.
Marquis Ernesto snorted.
Then he, too, withdrew with his faction.
Nearly half the attendees left all at once.

“…It does not seem possible to continue this meeting any further, so I will also take my leave.”
Starting with Count Mark Lester, the lords of the smaller territories not aligned with the great domains departed.
In the end, only Marquis Godino Javier of the southern great domain and his faction remained.
Marquis Godino Javier shrugged.
“The council chamber feels much more spacious now. It does not look like anyone else will be leaving or entering. What do you think, Your Grace?”
Duke Agenka clutched his throbbing head.
Е̂ n̊u̇m̀а. îd_
“…Let us adjourn for today and begin a proper military council tomorrow.”
“Hm, very well. Then….”

Marquis Godino Javier left.
Left alone, Duke Agenka slammed the table.
BANG!
The table split cleanly in two.

Sergio–Calacrati Harbor.
“…What in the world is going on?”

“…I do not know either.”
Duke Torbjhern stood dazed in the middle of the street.
Е n.ùm а̄
Two days.
That was how long Duke Torbjhern had stayed at Calacrati Lord’s Castle.
And yet…
“There is not even a trace of the 42nd Combat Air Wing members?”
They could not find so much as the first letter of the word “unit.”
Thinking they might have changed uniforms, they even asked about “groups that looked like soldiers.”

The residents all gave the same answer.
“I do not know.”
Duke Torbjhern sighed.
“So it is not Calacrati?”
Daniel shook his head.
“That is unlikely. Ships traveling from Sergio to the Southern Continent can only be boarded at Calacrati.”

“That is true, is it not?”
“Yes.”

“Then where did they go?”
“Hmm….”
