Chapter 171 – Istrea’s move

[Honestly, I didn’t think he would take action so quickly . ]

Ares laughed and muttered at Zekka next to him .

There is a letter in his hand . This is the report of the last few days given by Zecca .

And there was a clear description of how Alfredo and his friends “purged” the Istrea aristocrats .

[Well, this makes it easier for me to move and they can’t hold onto my weaknesses… let’s just say that both are good . ]

That said, Ares gently put the report on his desk .

Istrea’s power struggles were already known before he entered his land .
The Chancellor faction to which bureaucrats involved in political affairs belong, including Alfredo .
And the aristocratic faction to which the prestigious aristocrats of Istrea belong, led by Rajj Gomes .

They are in conflict with each other, their powers are in opposition… and they are in a very unstable situation despite the crisis that involved the survival of the nation .

Alfredo and the Chancellor are struggling to protect the country, but the aristocrats are trying to pull their feet to retain more power .

Ares was also informed that the aristocratic leader, Rajj Gomez, was trying to establish contact with Byzeld even before he entered Istrea .

Don’t be fooled by the behavior of a small person and there are times when such a person makes unexpected movements .
Therefore, he predicted the possibility that he would be dragged in the fight against Byzeld in the future and even devised countermeasures in advance .

[And if that happened, I was thinking of using it further… but that’s no longer necessary . ]

Ares laughed .

Fake information will be sent to them to disturb their movement or launchiing a surprise attack from behind when they joined the Byzeld… There was no limit to what they could do .

And that’s not all . Ares wanted to take advantage of them only after they were wiped out .

Eliminating the rebels will bring great benefits to the Chancellor faction, such as Alfredo . By doing so, it will be possible to have more influence in Istrea, and it will be easier to govern the eastern continent in the future .

Istrea is now completely in his hands . He doesn’t think there will be any betrayal .

But in this turbulent world, Ares doesn’t know when an ally will jump out of his palm .

With that in mind, it must be advantageous to have a lot of cards against your opponent .

[Well, it would be hard for them to benefit too much . Also, even here, if they pull your leg every time, it may be affected to some extent . I think this was good . ]

And he thinks Eldan, the head of the faction, is also capable, but it’s likely not only his plan . Perhaps that Alfredo must have taken immediate action, thinking about what happened after the war .

After all, the man named Alfredo is excellent . That’s why… . .

[It’s the same with getting the eastern continent… but that guy has to drag me along into joining with whatever he wants…]

It was Ares who said that and laughed happily .

 

It’s been about 5 days since he entered Istrea . It seemed that there was some confusion as the aristocrats were wiped out, but it was already expected by Alfredo . He was prepared for such a situation in advance and there was not much confusion .

During the quiet process, Ares had various discussions with Irene, Eldan, and Alfredo about future developments .

The main content is also about the war against both Dormadia and Byzeld .

[After General Sigurd and General Darius have returned, replenished and rested, I’m planning for them to advance their troops to Horus and Toronto . Istrea will provide them with logistical support… Please arrange for supplies . ] 

Ares explains to them, pointing at the map .

[I know your Excellency’s strategy, and it’s a force that makes it possible . But… Even if you think about it, isn’t the number too small when dealing with these two countries? Although I’m sure they will win, I don’t think there will be any damage…?]

Ares nods to Alfredo’s words .

[Yeah . For that…]

Ares said that, pointing to Horus, then Toronto… and the city beyond which was the capitals of several ruined nations .

[All the people of these lands are suffering from invasion . Let them riot and hunt the enemies down from within the country . ]

That said, I looked at the faces of the three .

[…But wouldn’t that damage the innocent people?]

It was Irene who showed a sad expression in Ares’ words . Upon hearing the words, Ares smiled reassuringly and opened her mouth .

[The freedom you get without doing anything will break soon . ]

He takes a breath and continues his words .

[If you settle for the freedom that you have been given, they will only wait for help in the face of the next disaster… but can you call it true freedom?]

Asked Ares .

True freedom is what you win by your own hand .
And if one wants to protect the freedom he has won, he must use his wisdom and muster the courage to protect it at the risk of his life .

And that’s… what it means to get true freedom .

Three people lost their words to Ares’ words .
And Irene bowed deeply and apologized .

[His Highness’ deep-laid plans and thoughts… I am deeply impressed . It was not my place to interfere . I apologize for that . ]

[No, I understand your Majesty Irene’s feelings . Actually… I want to help them more honestly… . ]

With that said, Ares laughed at Irene .

[In any case, in order to end this war… we need the cooperation of everyone in the eastern continent . Let’s work closely together . ]

Starting from a meeting, various consultations and then further discussions…

After entering Istrea, Ares’s day ended in no time .

[There are so many things to do… Should Zion bring George too…?]

With that said, Ares thought of the two faces .

[No, why don’t those two come instead?]

Zion is innately troublesome and George is obsessed with developing the territory .

[I went to the north last time, but this time only the Lord is enough! Please give me time to read a book once in a while . ]

Recalling Zion’s face, which refused to conquer the eastern region, Ares laughed .

 

And then, when the night was late…

Suddenly, Ares was invited to Irene’s room because she wanted to speak with him .

While sitting on the sofa in the center of the room, Ares looked around .

(Umm… uncomfortable…)

A women’s private room; The interior is neatly arranged and it was not understated that white lily seems to symbolize her grace .

And… I could see a luxurious bed like a royal family in my sight, and I couldn’t help myself .

Ares is a well-known hero all over the continent and has many wives, but… he is still nervous in a woman’s room .

(What on earth is this call at this time…)

Maybe it’s a trick… when he thought about that .

Gachari

The sound of the door opening reached Ares’s ears and Irene came in slowly .

[Sorry to keep you waiting…]

[Ah, no, that’s… . . yes!?]

Ares responded immediately, looking in the direction of his voice… and then involuntarily turning away .

The reason why Ares turned away… because there was a figure of Irene wearing a pale pink sleeping garment which her naked body could be seen through .

You can clearly see her full breasts because of the thin underwear that she wore .

Ares couldn’t hide his nervousness .

[Y-Your Majesty! Isn’t this a bit bad for you?]

Said Ares in a hurry .
Yes… he is so calm and amazing in military and politics, but… He was still inexperienced to this, so much that Gilbert calls him a [little kid]…

On the other hand, Irene was looking at him with a different feeling than when she came in .

(I heard that he has many wives…but it seems he is more naive than I expected… . )

Irene was also in tension until she entered this room .

Over the past few days, they had been somewhat in awe of his politics and military tactics through his sheer calmness .

So what does it look like in a situation like this?

She heard that he has many wives beforehand .

He may be very sexually active .
Maybe he is just looking at a woman as a tool .
She might be treated roughly…

Even though she was prepared, she was also a woman . Going with an unfamiliar man… was very courageous .

However…

Now, looking unexpectedly at Ares’s appearance… Irene smiled . And it eased Irene, who was just as tense, and gave her an upper advantage .

[For the time being, the leader of a country is not good to be looked at like this! It’s too bad! First of all, please change your sleeping clothes first…]

[Ares-dono… I always wear this outfit when I go to bed… is there something wrong? ]

[No! I said it’s alright except you can do it when you’re alone!]

Irene smiled gently at Ares’ words . When she saw Ares in a hurry, the person that she thought [terrifying] was changed became [cute] .

[I don’t think those are the words that should come from Ares-dono who’s a hero that has many wives these days . I’ve heard that heroes prefer… a [variety] of things, you know?]

With that said, Irene approached Ares and took his hand .

[Ares-dono… I have a request . ]

[W-what is it?]

Ares sweat profusely .

And then Ares lost his words to the words spun from her mouth .

[Please go to bed with me… can you hold me?]
