After the enemy had dispersed, I went to the king and bowed to him.


    "Thanks to your presence, all the bandits have fled. Everything is thanks to you.


    I say this with all my heart. This is a great boost to my appeal.


    Of course, the king''s authority will be increased, but it won''t hurt me. All I need now is to get along with Hasse, the king.


    "Good. The regent is my brother-in-law who married my sister. It is only natural that he should save his brother-in-law in his hour of need. Especially if the high priest, who is trying to bring down the innocent regent, is an enemy.


    Hasse seemed to be in a good mood. It had been a long time since he had been in battle as king. And the result was a great victory. How could he not be satisfied with the result?


    "We have destroyed several rebellious lords in this expedition. We have destroyed some rebellious lords in this expedition.


    "Yes, that''s right. I will think about it.


    "Also, we would like to have some of the control that the cathedral side had over the city. The cathedral must be punished as well.


    "Okay. We''ll think about confiscating it. Well, let''s talk about the details when we get back to King''s Landing.


    I bowed to Hasse once more.


    I had won the power struggle with the cathedral. The city will naturally fall in love with me.


    --How could you have gone to such lengths?


    Odanobunaga doesn''t seem to admire me.


    --If only I''d taken more time, I could have steadily increased my power. But I''m sure he''s not bored.


    Of course, I won''t stop until I''m king. I''ll have the whole country under my control. Being regent is not just a position.


    --But now we''ll have to fight the whole country in earnest. From now on, those who think you can rule will come to you as allies.


    I don''t care. We''ll fight them someday anyway.


    --Well, get ready at best. For now... ...... mass produce guns. Definitely mass-produce them. That''s what will sustain you.


    You said that before. I''ll try to believe you.


    The cathedral won''t be able to fight back soon. Peace will come. Let''s take a little time for domestic affairs.


    I''ll take some time to work on domestic affairs.


    We returned triumphantly to the capital.


    It feels like it''s been so long since I''ve been back in King''s Landing. The war feels like a long time.


    The first thing I did when I got back was to visit my wife''s room.


    Rather, Serafina immediately told me to do so. I don''t know what she will say if I don''t.


    When I entered the room of Rumi, my wife, the wives were already gathered there.


    "You, come here. You must be very tired from fighting for your life.


    Serafina is the hostess. Everyone is beautifully dressed. They were sitting around a round table and enjoying tea.


    "Yeah, I didn''t feel like living, but ...... this is where I feel at home ......."


    Raviara and Kerala, who normally do not dress up, were sitting there today dressed like princesses. It seems that I am not the only one who is uncomfortable, but the one who is made to dress up as a princess as well.


    Kerala was especially fidgety in her dress, which had breasts.


    "Serafina-sama instructed me to look like this ......"


    Kerala said in her defense.


    "It''s not like I''m posing as if I want to stop being a military officer. ......"


    "I know that. I''m sorry I put you up to my wife''s jokes."


    "Oh my, that''s funny."


    Serafina is smiling devilishly.


    "Because, Kerala, you''re one of my wives, too, and you have to welcome your husband!"


    Kerala''s face turned slightly red. In Kerala''s case, she is not officially his wife, but a military officer who fights for him, and for that she is teased by Serafina like this.


    I can understand that Seraphina welcomes her in her own way.


    "You should be in the palace now, Kerala. We are always waiting for you.


    "Then you won''t be able to go into battle. ......"


    This is a difficult area. It is normal for the daughters of local lords to fight armed in the castle when the time comes, but for the regent''s concubine to fight, it would be considered bizarre.


    In that sense, Raviara was similar to the regent.


    "Raviara is also a bit ....... It''s not that I don''t like it, but I would have preferred something a little more chic. ......"


    Laviala was dressed in a pink, drab dress. If such a dress appeared on the battlefield, we might be afraid of it, thinking that it was a soldier of God coming in a roundabout way.


    "Laviala, you look good!


    "Mr. Arsrod, that''s not a compliment, is it?


    Fleur quietly laughed at this exchange over a cup of tea.


    If it were possible, I would like to relax and unwind from the fatigue of the battlefield with a graceful wife like Fleur, but as long as Seraphina is around, I guess that''s not possible.


    "Oh, is it possible that Kerala-san is also the wife of the regent ......?"


    Rumi doesn''t seem to know much about that. Yeah, it''s a little early for Rumi.


    "Don''t worry too much about that."


    Serafina was giggling again.


    It was funny to be standing there all the time, so I took an empty seat.


    "Welcome back."


    Fleur said in a beautiful voice.


    "I''m glad to see you, too. I had heard that the Regent was in danger this time.


    Rumi''s voice was shaking with emotion.


    Oh, I''ve worried you too much.


    The look on my wife''s face made me reflect. It''s not like it''s my only life. I couldn''t leave her out in the cold.


    "I''m really glad to be back with you guys."


    After that, he stopped his political duties for a while and enjoyed a peaceful tea time with his wives.


    This kind of time is good sometimes.
