Chapter 352: 352
"You're lucky I followed you sooner than Gordon . "
That's what William told Henrik, who was dripping .
Gordon, who had suppressed General Harnish's army, was on his way home to Vismar following Henrik's retreat .
Because Leo and Harnish could pinch me like that .
That was all Henrik's retreat was an event that affected the whole thing .
Gordon will be arriving in Vismar soon .
Henrik, brought to Vismar like a sinner, was waiting for Gordon to return like that . But the moment Gordon comes, it's also Henrik's end moment .
Translat e d by jp m tl . coｍ However, Henrik looked at William as if to say .
Seeing Henrik like that, William sighed .
William was working on the issue of the transportation of troops in the clan .
There are two bandits who break out in the clan .
A bowman called the Knight of the Zhu Moon (Vermillion) . I have been a prostitute for a long time against the villainous nobility of the clan . Because of this bandit, the nobles of the clan were unable to make the same moves as they thought .
But there is no way that that alone delays the transport of troops .
One more . There was a thief sniping at the food .
The trouble is, this thief doesn't even show up . Tr ansla t ed b y ｊpｍtl . ｃ om
What I know is that he's an awesome bowman, and he's wiping out all his transport units without even showing up .
The activity of this unnamed bowman has made the nobility of the clan reluctant to be involved in the food . Because of this, the United Kingdom was struggling to transport food through the clan .
William made an understandable threat to the clan's nobles to make their response to the thieves and the transport of their food smoother .
That's what William had to do sooner or later . But if you leave the front line, Leo will move freely . That's why I couldn't .
And that wasn't a mistake .
Hearing Henrik's retreat, William hurried back to Vismar .
That return was just a little quicker than Gordon's . And William was able to talk to Henrik before Gordon met Henrik .
" . . . don't you have something to say to me? Prince Henrik . "
"… repeated disrespect . Sorry . . . there was no . . . "
"I don't care about disrespect or anything . All I want to hear is your reflection . "
" . . . I . . . didn't want you to handle it . . . it was a big mistake . . . "
"That's not a mistake . I am a man of another country . As royalty to Gordon, trying to get rid of me is no fault . There would be options like that . But there was something decisively missing from you . You know what that is?
" . . . is it an experience . . . "
Henrik shrugs in the way he said he was afraid .
In contrast, William shook his head quietly beside him . T r an s late d by Ｊpm t l . ｃ o ｍ
"An eye that looks calmly at itself . If you can see yourself calmly, others can see you calmly too . If you can see others calmly, you can see the situation calmly as well . The option of getting rid of me is not a mistake, but if you get rid of me in that situation, it was visible that Leonardo would attack you . Still, you ruled me out . Because I was overestimating myself . You're not as good as you think you are . "
"Oh no . . . !
"It is proof of this that defeat is unacceptable . Excellence learns from failure and defeat . "
I can't honestly take the word because I haven't admitted it in my heart .
Henrik eliminated William because he was complacent that Leo couldn't beat him . I wasn't even cautious because I was proud to be better than Leo, more so .
William was discerning that Henrik's high level of self-esteem was a fundamental problem .
"I . . . I am!
"The withdrawal of the main force only is tantamount to abandoning the soldiers . The escape of the General is also punished, more than the escape of soldiers is punished . You'll be slashed by Gordon . "
"Oh no . . . please help me!
"Why don't you offer me the benefit of helping?
"I . . . am royal! It should be easy to handle from the point of view of the United Kingdom!
"He's a big defeat, isn't he? I'm not willing to take it out to be easy to handle . "
"Oh no . . . I . . . I . . . "
"You have no track record . I don't have the strength . Experience, technology . The only thing I can be proud of is my blood muscles . That's the only negotiating material we have when we're cornered, which means only blood muscles are worth it . "
William poked his reality at him and Henrik dropped his shoulder wide . T ra n s l at e d b y Jp ｍtl . c o ｍ
I desperately consider objections to William, but I can't think of any .
And I finally realized .
William was right .
"I . . . am a failure of the royal family . . . "
"Ardler's clan is excellent . Even you have blood . [M] But you weren't ready to learn . Those who fail to grasp their power accurately cannot be strong . "
Henrik is not incompetent so much as he can't .
I just had too many bad opponents to compare .
Stretching your back beyond what you need is harmful .
A man has a vessel of man .
I can salvage as much as I can if I find out that .
"Let's save lives . Learn by my side . If you think of the soldiers who lost their lives, don't waste this lapse . "
"Help me . . . what will it be . . . ?
"My best friend won't have to put my brother in my hands . Besides . . . can you trust a general who even kills his brother?
Tell him to leave it all to me . William left the room .

Then a little while later, Gordon returned to Vismar .
The aim is in a room with Henrik .
There was a sword in his hand .
"Henrik!! Is there anything left to say?!
Gordon, who came in trying to kick through the room, intimidated Henrik so .
In contrast, Henrik rubbed his head on the floor and mouthed an apology .

"I'm sorry . . . it's all my fault"
"Exactly! Give me that neck! I'll do it as a show to the whole army!
Gordon waves up his sword .
But William grabbed that arm .
"Stop it, Gordon"
"Why stop!?
"If we slay now, the generals will become afraid of Solemn Qing . Don't slay me . "
"Only the main unit withdrew without issuing a warrant!? If I hadn't punished the general who left the soldiers on the front line, I wouldn't have any indication!
"Prince Henrik is a famous general! There were generals consolidating their sides! Originally I was the General! It was the generals who stiffened their sides who kicked me out of it in a handicap! If you kill Prince Henrik, they will kill you too!?
"You can slash it! I can't even read the situation . I don't want incompetence!
"Is that a situation where you can say that!? We're about to have a showdown with Leonardo!? Now we should forgive and give him a chance to salvage it!
"How can you shelter Henrik so much? Directions from home country!?
I don't doubt Gordon and his friendship with William .
But I did not place full confidence in William's home country, the United Kingdom .
Try to take Henrik out on your own behalf . I assumed that degree .
But .
"If I'm going to take charge of anything but you, I'll kill my father! I'm here because I have you! Don't get me wrong! It's for you and your army to shelter Prince Henrik!
William and Gordon's eyes meet with disappointment, and the confusion continues .
The strained air dominated the room so much that the soldiers beside it felt breathless .
Henrik just keeps his head down in what seems like an eternity .
If Gordon waves his sword down, his own neck flies . But I no longer had to leave it to Henrik to William .
And .
" . . . you don't regret it?
"Is my remorse worth more than your victory?
" . . . fine . I'll do what you say . Henrik won't kill you!
That's what Gordon put his arm down .
Get your hands off Gordon's arm like that .
But the problem hasn't been solved .
"It's nice to give you a chance to salvage it, but you're going to leave this whole thing questionless?
"We need punishment . I'm going to have the Duke of Holzvat take that . . . okay? Duke . "
William asks Rolf, who was outside the room .
Rolf bowed his head respectfully to it .

"Go ahead, Your Highness, as you wish . "
"He says it was your eldest son, Geed, who advanced the retreat to Prince Henrik . You have no objection to how we treat it? Of course you can't be in your current position either . "
"My son's faulty . Of course I accept it spoiled . "
William sees Rolf say that and puts his face to shame .
William didn't like Rolf, who couldn't read the bottom of his belly .
Not to mention that my own son is in crisis, but he doesn't even show how he's enjoying himself .
I didn't really like that .
"Everybody, take your seats off . Gordon and I want to talk . "
That's what William says and pays people, including Henrik and Rolf .
And I told Gordon .
"Did you see how he was?
"You didn't even show up . "
"If you're going to execute my son, go ahead . It's just your face . Worst of all, there's also the possibility of betraying it as an excuse"
"So what do we do? If you don't kill Henrik, it's best to kill Geed . "
"Not really . It's not just the neck that can be used to boost morale and tighten things up . "
That's what he said . William quietly put his hands on the sword .

Gordon gathered all the troops stationed in Vismar .
And on the podium, he began his speech for the whole army .
"As you heard, our army failed to seal off Leonardo . I dare you! This is a defeat!
Gordon, who doesn't admit defeat, dared to say defeat .
The soldiers are upset about it, but Gordon doesn't mind continuing the conversation .
"We know what causes defeat! Because Henrik, my brother, the general, was cowardly! So I was going to kill Henrik! Naturally! If you think of the soldiers who died on the front line, it doesn't matter about family sentiment or anything!
But Gordon goes on .
Something wrapped in a cloth was grasped in his hand .
Remove the cloth, Gordon lists .
It was a man's arm .
"When I tried to kill him! Geed von Holzvat, near Henrik's side, cut off one arm himself! He wants you to wait for punishment with this arm! I've been begging Henrik for his next chance! My grand nobleman's son offered me an arm for Henrik! I know this defeat, it's not something to match this arm! But! I decided to give Henrik a chance! Why!? All we care about is the loyalty shown by this geed!! I swear to God! Yours! When you fight shamelessly for Geed's loyalty! We will win!! We can't lose anymore!!
With Gordon's word, the whole army boils .
The cheers rise, and the soldiers speak of the name of Geed .
But it's not actually that beautiful a story .
"I didn't expect you to tailor my brother to a loyalist who offered him arms and morale all the army . . . . . . that's what I should call His Highness William?
Mansion in Vismar .

One room there .
So the liner speaks to William .
Geed was asleep in the bed in the room .
There are doctors and samurai around .
He bled when his arm was cut off until just now and was in a slightly more dangerous condition .
That happened because Geed cried and couldn't treat him right around the rampage .
Geed naturally did not accept William's suggestion . I can't give myself an arm or anything .
But William cut off Geed's arm without a problem .
It doesn't matter to William what Geed wants .
The soldiers, who were already in Henrik's headquarters, have been stopped and incorporated into William's troops . There won't be any extra rumors circulating .
The generals who know the circumstances will also fight desperately if they think they are next . Because this is a warning at the same time as morale .
"You can afford to say my brother was in a dangerous condition, can't you?
"It's my brother who can't do it . You don't mind me dying . I was raised by my father, and my brother was brought up spoiled by my mother . I thought I'd expose you to a breakdown sooner or later . My father seemed to expect a little . "
"I see . So you can read in your belly like your father did, huh?
William stares at the liner as he says so .
I don't think that Rolf would expect an incompetent Geed .
And from the reaction of the two, William came to one conclusion .
"You were reading that Geed was going to make a mistake, weren't you? But the Duke of Holzvat family is important to the Gordon faction . I knew my life would not be taken . That's why we can afford it . "
The Duke of Holzvat family is a compiler of the nobles who come to Gordon .
Many nobles have joined the Gordon faction because they have the Duke of Holzvat family .
You can't kill him more than Henrik .
I can't seem to turn to idleness in the wake of Geed's lapse, nor can I do so by tailoring Geed to a loyalist .
He thinks he's an unreliable opponent, but he can't rule it out either .
And I can afford the Duke Holzvat family because I know that .
"If so . . . what do you do?
"If you betray me, I will kill you"
William was poking at the liner's neck as he pulled out his sword at a speed that was inconspicuous to his eyes .
Exactly . The liner sweats cold and makes his face stick .
Satisfied with that look, William takes the sword and goes by the liner .
"In the showdown with Leonardo, I leave the vanguard to the Duke of Holzvat family . It's about hard work at best . No one will disagree that the loyal Duke Holzvat family will be at the vanguard . "
"… it's an honor"
Until you crush it first if there is any chance of betraying it .
With a good understanding of William's thoughts, the liner stared at William's back as he left .
