Volume 3 Chapter 30 Granddaughter


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 ”I will be blunt: I want you to incorporate my Principality into your country.”


 What?


 ”No, no, no, you have a perfectly capable heir, don’t you?”


 Duke Igor Bryachislavichi sat right in front of me as a subordinate, yet his request came so far outside anything I expected that it left me completely caught off guard. We could not remain under the protection of the Empire of Rus forever, Igor stated.


 ”You mean… The Boltechino?”


 Even Kenze, the Amazoness warrior, appeared terrified by the name. After all, those forces were already invading Rus.


 ”That is part of it, yes. Furthermore, the Proton Order declared war on us, yet we received no aid from the Empire of Rus. In truth, it was you who saved us,” Igor continued.


 That was true, but still.


 ”Duke Igor, your father is the Frontier Count Pugachev, a key supporter of the Empire, is he not?”


 A Frontier Count held higher status than a Duke who was a blood relative of the Emperor. They could independently muster armies and start wars, functioning almost like monarchs of their own states. The man before me, Duke Igor of Bryachislavichi, was the second son of such a figure. He had married into this family as an adopted son and heir to the Polotsk Principality. In terms of standing, he clearly sided with the Empire of Rus.


 ”I don’t know what will happen, but Thomas and I are from Schweilitz. They are only trying to install us because they expect Schweilitz to support the Valfin Tribe members and the Sami tribe,” I replied, keeping my tone neutral and measured.


 ”If we were to join you, we could expect at least some support from Rus. Wouldn’t that also make setting up the borders easier?” Igor countered.


 That might be true, but if we drew too close to Rus while the war against The Boltechino dragged on, we could easily find our food and soldiers requisitioned. I could not make that judgment alone. I glanced to my side, where Ellie sat smiling at me. I had never imagined things would come to this.


 As I remained silent, Duke Igor spoke again.


 ”According to the latest reports, the twenty-thousand-strong army of The Boltechino has defeated the forty-thousand-strong allied forces of the Empire of Rus and is currently marching toward the second Imperial Capital, Moscow.”


 ”Moscow? Then what about the Imperial Capital?”


 ”It seems the enemy commander, Subutai, moved the battlefield several hundred kilometers to the west and broke the overextended allied noble army piece by piece. The Imperial Capital is apparently safe.”


 ”The Boltechino are strong, aren’t they?”


 ”That is exactly why Rus had a lapse in security, and why the Proton Order declared war on our country once we were outside of their protection.”


 He spoke as if it were someone else’s problem.


 ”So, what will happen with the settlement with the knight order? Are we going to squeeze them for reparations or demand land?”


 ”I expect the messengers from Emperor Rus will go to the Proton Order with a mediation plan. But…”


 ”But what?”


 ”Your country will likely put a stop to it.”


 I see. That made sense. There was the matter of Haritz, and it was Thomas and I who had actually secured the victory. Even if we had no such intention, others would surely claim it was thanks to Schweilitz’s actions. Then there was the Proton Order. We called them a knight order, but in reality they formed a monastic order of the Universal Church with their own manors. Within Schweilitz, monastic orders and church-owned manors were prohibited. If we intervened, the affair would undoubtedly grow complicated.


 ”Shall we return to the subject?” Duke Igor turned to me with a faint, practiced smile. “The suggestion that you incorporate the Polotsk Principality into your own is my father’s idea.”


 Hm? Duke Igor’s father would be Frontier Count Pugachev. Would a pillar of the Empire of Rus really suggest something like that? According to Igor, their peoples were ethnically close, and it would be better to form as large a power as possible. Moreover, he claimed the Empire of Rus might cease to exist in another dozen years or so.


 ”Seriously? The Frontier Count?”


 ”My father is not the type to joke.”


 Ugh. If that was the case, he could have spoken to me properly instead of having his daughter handle everything. It felt a bit strange. I glanced to my side again. Ellie was smiling, her eyes sparkling with an elegant, aristocratic glow. Afterward, we discussed the realistic details of the Bryachislavichi family after annexation, as well as mediation with the Empire of Rus, before she left. Several questions still remained unanswered.


 When I returned to the inn, Thomas had already gone back to the newly occupied city of Trabius with the woman from last night. Our escorts, Panu and Samuri, along with the glowing-faced old man, had arrived.


 ”Duke Fee, let’s do our best tonight!” Samuri said, beaming with his usual energetic politeness.


 ”What’s wrong? You don’t have any energy. Did something happen?” Panu added.


 ”Don’t tell me, did you sleep with a woman last night?”


 ”How could that possibly happen? Hahaha,” I replied with a forced laugh.


 ”Suspicious.”


 I ignored the suspicions of the two bachelors and started walking.


 ”Where are you going?”


 ”Schweilitz Trading Company.”


 ”Listen, in what world is there such a thing as a virgin prostitute? Huh?” Georg Major barked, his military tone sharp and impatient.


 ”I’m still fifteen, fifteen! How would I know?” I retorted.


 ”In what world is there a fifteen-year-old so sloppy with women? Huh?”


 ”Huh, huh.” He was being annoying.


 ”I’m here, aren’t I? But what’s done is done. It’s not like I can ask for it to be undone now.”


 ”Hey, don’t tell me that Duke of Bryachislavichi’s youngest daughter can handle Mana, can she?”


 He seemed worried about pregnancy. In this world, women who could handle Mana could freely control conception and contraception.


 ”It’s fine. There was no Mana involved, and I didn’t e**culate inside.”


 ”If that’s the case, then good. But don’t think it’s over. Listen, know your position and stop putting your hands on woman after woman. That is an absolute order. Now, what did the Duke of Bryachislavichi say his objective was?”


 ”He wants us to include the Polotsk Principality in the nation-building of the Valfin Tribe members and the Sami tribe.”


 Major Georg knitted his brows. I suppose he thought they would tell us to oppose it, just as I had expected.


 ”Why?”


 ”It is the intention of Frontier Count Pugachev.”


 ”Frontier Count Pugachev, you say?”


 ”He is Duke of Bryachislavichi’s father.”


 He stood up and slammed his hand on the large executive desk as if to say he already knew that. Then he sat back down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and signaled for me to sit as well.


 ”And what is the specific reason?”


 ”Because the Valfin Tribe members, the Sami tribe, and the Polotsk Principality are close ethnically and historically, and it wouldn’t be strange for them to be together. So they should band together and become as large a power as possible. That is what he said.”


 I could not exactly tell him the part about the Empire of Rus potentially vanishing.


 ”And then?”


 ”If we accept the conditions, he said he would cooperate with the border arrangements with Rus.”


 ”And what are those conditions?”


 ”The same as the daughters of the Valfin Tribe members and the Sami tribe: my marriage to his youngest daughter, Ellie Bryachislavichi. And he also said he wanted the Bryachislavichi clan to be recognized as nobles and to possess this port city, which is currently the capital.”


 ”And your response?”


 ”I avoided an immediate answer, saying I couldn’t decide by myself.”


 ”Hmm.”


 It was not good that I had touched the youngest daughter, but other than that, my response seemed fine. Still, I wanted to tell them that they should take some action themselves too.


 ”Also, it seems Rus is beginning to move toward mediation with the Proton Order.”


 Just before I left the president’s office, I mentioned it as if I had just remembered.


 ”Why didn’t you tell me sooner? Call the vice-president!”


 How would I know? I left the trading company, ignoring the frantic middle-aged man. That night, since they told me to stay one more night, I was sleeping in my room instead of going to a brothel when Ellie came to visit.


 ”Duke Fee, you like oral, don’t you?” Ellie whispered, her tone dripping with refined, aristocratic elegance.


 Honestly, I enjoy watching her serve me with her mouth—the act of being served gets me. But the real thing, actually putting it in? That is where the true pleasure lies. I kept that thought to myself, of course, and simply let Ellie take care of me.


 Not finishing inside does not guarantee contraception, but the odds were probably not bad. In any case, I had only gone one round that night, and that was the end of it.


 ”Um… Lord Fee, what will you do from here on?” Ellie asked in her usual calm, refined manner.


 ”From here?”


 Even though this marriage existed only because our parents had arranged it, Ellie looked at me with the eyes of a woman gazing at the man she loved.


 ”Well, I will leave tomorrow morning, head to Yoghess, and wait there for a while.”


 ”Yoghess?”


 ”Yeah. If I go all the way to Cain, it will be harder to move quickly if something happens in Trabius.”


 That was the official reason, at least. The truth was that if I returned to Cain too soon, all the talk about founding a nation would grow louder than I could control. Somewhere along the way, I had become disturbingly good at lying to the girl who trusted me completely.


 ”Yoghess is close, so… could I come with you?” Ellie asked quietly.


 ”Hm. Ellie, you are a princess of the Polotsk Principality. I am sure you would need permission from both your father and the Lord of Yoghess. Besides, even if it is nearby, the trip still takes two nights by carriage.”


 ”I see…” Her gaze fell. “Then, Lord Fee, when will you come again?”


 Ah.


 We had not talked about that at all.


 ”I do not know.”


 I could have softened the answer with some comforting promise, but the truth slipped out before I could stop it. The moment I saw her eyes begin to glisten, regret arrived a little too late.


 ”But you will call for me in Cain soon, will you not?”


 Hm? What was she talking about?


 ”There will be a ceremony for the new nation soon, and you will be crowned its sovereign, right, Lord Fee?”


 ”It is not as if a country can be built overnight.”


 ”How long will it take? June? August?”


 ”No. I imagine it will take at least a year.”


 The number was completely arbitrary, but by the time that year passed, she might already have been forced back to Schweilitz.


 ”A whole year…”


 The anxiety in her eyes made me pull her into an embrace almost without thinking.


 Honestly, what am I doing?


 At this rate, someone was going to stab me in the back one day.


 If it were Monica, Nico, or Marie, I would probably have to accept my fate, though Louise and Pamela did not seem like the type. Yutia and Lili were likely safe as well. Rena and Emmy should be fine since things had never gone that far between us, but Sandra and Kenze had tempers that made me a little less confident. As for Eida, the assistant professor, I could absolutely imagine her killing me over a work dispute rather than a romantic one.


 Then there were the people I had met after coming here. Iri was complicated enough that I could not even predict how she felt anymore. Katri was devoted as a maid, while Manuela did not seem to hate me, though I could not say the same for her friend Marie. Pia was far too much of a degenerate to bother with murder.


 And Ellie…


 Of everyone on the list, she honestly felt like the most dangerous.


 Ugh.


 What happened to the serious, upright person I used to be?


 At this point, I was nothing but human garbage.


 …No, wait.


 The fact that I could still feel guilty about it had to mean there was some shred of decency left.


 That was it.


 I just needed to stop adding names to the list.


 The next morning, Pam and Samuri arrived with my old man looking refreshed, while I was still in the room with Igor’s daughter, Ellie.


 ”Guess Lord Fee really was keeping a side chick,” Samuri remarked casually.


 I immediately slapped a hand over his mouth.


 ”Do not say weird things in front of Ellie.”


 ”You idiot. This is Duke Igor’s daughter.”


 Pam and Samuri’s eyes widened.


 ”Lord Fee,” my old man said as he approached and lowered his voice. “You have some real courage.”


 ”What?”


 ”If she is Duke Igor’s daughter, then she is also the granddaughter of Frontier Count Pugachev. That man commands one hundred thousand soldiers. If something went wrong, being torn to shreds would be the best possible outcome.”


 The moment he said it, a chill ran down my spine.


 Right.


 She was the granddaughter of the Frontier Count.


 Memories of nearly being killed by Nico’s grandfather came rushing back. When I finally left, Ellie clung to me in tears and told everyone within earshot—including a crowd of soldiers—that she wanted to see me again as soon as possible.


 After that, the soldiers looked at me differently.


 So did Pam and Samuri.


 The rumors reached Cain almost instantly. By the time we arrived in Yoghess, a major figure from Cain’s fishing industry was already waiting.


 ”Can you negotiate the terms with the Polotsk Principality?” the fishery magnate demanded.


 Before long, I found myself cornered by the Lord of Yoghess, the House Steward, and the magnate himself. Since there was no point hiding anything, I repeated exactly what I had told Georg Major at the Schweilitz Trading Company.


 ”To fall for such an obvious honey trap…” Rolandas muttered.


 The House Steward had been trying to marry one of his own daughters to me, so his irritation was understandable.


 Fine by me.


 If he hated it that much, he could stop supporting me.


 ”But this is the granddaughter of Frontier Count Pugachev we are talking about,” the fishery magnate said in a measured tone.


 That single point silenced the room.


 As we reviewed the situation in detail, the atmosphere gradually shifted. No one said it outright, but they seemed far more willing to consider the Polotsk Principality’s proposal than before.


 ”Lord Fee is a hero of the Battle of Mustopae,” the Lord of Yoghess said. “We cannot place all the blame on him.”


 Thanks to that generous interpretation, I escaped responsibility for my own actions.


 ”Lord Fee, remain in Yoghess for a while,” the Lord continued. “We will speak with the Valfin Tribe again.”


 Then he turned to Rolandas.


 ”Inform the others. We will hold a meeting of the Sami tribe lords in three days.”


 The mood in the room grew noticeably heavier.


 By the time I was finally released, the sun was already sinking toward the horizon.


 When I returned to the lord’s annex, Katri was waiting outside despite the cold.


 ”Welcome home,” she said with perfect courtesy.


 The sight of her standing there made me pull her into a hug before I could stop myself.


 And yes, I immediately began having dangerous thoughts.


 Unfortunately, I also had an audience.


 ”Who are these kids?”


 ”I believe they are the orphans you found, my lord.”


 Right.


 The children from the ruined village between Mustopae and the Polotsk Principality.


 ”Did they eat?”


 ”Yes. I also requested fresh clothes from the lord.”


 ”I see.”


 Even after eating, they were still filthy.


 Katri eventually slipped out of my arms, insisting that such behavior was not appropriate in front of children. With nothing else to do while we waited for the clothes to arrive, I heated a bath and rounded them all up at once.


 The water turned muddy almost immediately.


 In the end, Katri and I rolled up our sleeves and washed them ourselves. As I scrubbed dirt from their hair, memories of my previous life surfaced, reminding me of the times Larry had washed his younger siblings in much the same way.


 After draining the dirty water, I filled the tub again and used Fireball to heat it.


 The children loved it.


 Once they were clean, I realized there were three boys and four girls among them. When I had first found them, they had stared blankly ahead like3 Noh masks, their homes burned and their families slaughtered. Now, only days later, they laughed whenever I tickled their sides while washing them.


 Seeing that change felt strangely reassuring.


 That said, there was still one problem.


 I was sharing a bath with the beautiful Katri, and thanks to the presence of seven children, I could not even think about acting on the thoughts running through my head.


 Then—


 ”Hey! You over there!”


 I pointed at one of the boys.


 ”Keep your hands to yourself.”

 Summary:

 Duke Igor formally proposes incorporating his Principality into the protagonist’s sphere of influence under the guise of an ethnic and historical alliance, while revealing that his father, Frontier Count Pugachev, orchestrated the plan. Major Georg reacts with calculated skepticism to the proposal, emphasizing the gravity of the potential geopolitical shifts involving Rus and the Proton Order. The protagonist concludes his day by returning to his room, only to be confronted by the advances of Ellie, leaving his immediate future and diplomatic standing in a state of precarious ambiguity.


 Fee departs for Yoghess after a brief, tense encounter with the princess Ellie, continuing to play the role of the reluctant political player. He manages to sidestep blame for his controversial diplomatic ties to the Polotsk Principality by leveraging his reputation as a war hero. The day ends with a moment of domestic humanity as he and his maid, Katri, wash a group of orphans, though the scene is undercut by his frustrated attraction to her.

 Trivia:

 Duke Igor is the second son of Frontier Count Pugachev, a high-ranking noble in the Empire of Rus.

 Eating fish is considered a high-status dietary practice in the Polotsk Principality, contrary to the Empire of Charle.

 The Boltechino army has successfully defeated a large noble coalition from the Empire of Rus, threatening Moscow.

 The protagonist and Thomas are credited with the victory against the Proton Order, despite their lack of intent.

 Fee is subconsciously retaining memories of his past life as Larry.

 The orphans were picked up during his journey from Mustopae to the Polotsk Principality.

 The political threat of Frontier Count Pugachev is so severe that it silenced the protagonist’s rivals.

 Fee is aware he is being manipulative, which causes him significant internal cognitive dissonance.
