What Sirone knew was this.�At the meeting of nobles in the Kingdom of Iron, Valtes, a noble of the Senate, announced that he would give his prized vase to anyone who proves to be more courageous than himself.
Then House Noble Moose challenged.�The method he practiced was to throw the vase he had hung as a reward against the wall.
On the surface, it looked like an affair between drunken nobles, but a closer look revealed the political conflict that had been festering for a long time.
�Iron�s aristocratic system is bicameral.�The Senate conveys the king�s will and the House represents the common people.�Thanks to that, Iron has become a rich country, but the conflict between nobles is at a serious level.�
Involving commoners in politics weakens the authority of the nobility.�However, as the number of commoners with subjectivity increased, the nation�s wealth was bound to grow.
�The power of the Senate comes from power, and the power of the House comes from taxes.�After all, the fight between the two factions was already predicted.�When Moose, a nobleman of the House, was arrogant, Balthes� stomach boiled.�At that time, it was passed over, but the sediment would still remain.�
�But what does that have to do with the parrot thieves, no, the parrot mercenaries?�
�Three months after the vase incident, a civil war broke out in Moose�s estate.�An unknown army invaded.�From here on, I heard it through intelligence, but the person who caused the civil war was Balthes.�He hired mercenaries, not private soldiers, to hit the moose.�
�Then, no way, the mercenary that belonged there����?�
�that�s right.�They are the parrot mercenaries.�Of course, numerous mercenaries participated in the war, but the parrot mercenaries broke through Moose�s defensive wall with overwhelming force.�However, just as we were about to break through the resistance, Baltes� soldiers suddenly came from the rear and attacked the mercenary group by surprise.�
Sirone could guess the situation at the time.
Hire mercenaries to attack the enemy, then use private soldiers to attack the mercenaries.�In that way, victory and innocence could be obtained at the same time.
�Baltes had no intention of punishing Moose from the beginning.�Because the power of the House of Representatives, which is supported by the common people, is stronger than expected.�I just wanted to give it a hard time.�After all, the mercenaries were discarded from the beginning.�Let them raid the territory and punish them again, a perfect strategy.�
�But if it ends like that, the House nobles won�t be quiet either?�
�Of course, but it can�t be revealed on the surface.�After all, the Senate are nobles who are protected by the king.�Perhaps there was an agreement.�The reason Moose doesn�t bring up the story even now, seven years later, is probably because he was compensated to some extent by Baltes.�
After hearing that, Lian furrowed her brow in displeasure.
�Are the mercenaries the only ones abandoned after all?�I can�t understand the thoughts of politicians at all.�It�s against chivalry.�
�It is natural to think so.�But I�ve come across many more spies in my family than this.�The world doesn�t just go the way we think.�
Everyone was silent at Tess� words.�They must one day advance to a place where the great power of the world operates.�The Hwabyung Incident was not his business, but it was not someone else�s business either.
�Whatever it was, it was abandoned.�The mercenaries who attacked Moose�s territory were all executed under the pretext of treason, and the parrot mercenary group was naturally disbanded.�
said Amy.
�But they survived in the end.�That�s why he must have defected to the kingdom of Tormia.�
�that�s right.�The mercenaries have been disbanded, but a few skilled personnel have escaped the battlefield.�It�s an inference from here on out, but wouldn�t it be difficult for them to maintain the mercenary corps after being accused of traitors?�That�s why they fell into bandits and eventually came to the island when they were accused of being criminals.�
Tess� reasoning was reasonable, but Sirone was somewhat uneasy.
Above all, they needed their own capital, power, and a very outstanding leader to be able to maintain the name of parrots fleeing for treason.
�Couldn�t it just be the same name?�In fact, there are many guilds in the world, and the name parrot is not unfamiliar.�
Tess hesitated to answer.�The situation she feared came to pass.
�Sirone, isn�t there the woman you talked about last time?�
�huh?�Sister Marsha?�
After rescuing Amy from the palace, while having a late-night snack, Sirone briefly talked about Marsha.� JrNovels.com
