After it became known that going near Miri-chan with insolent thoughts will result in getting paralysed, or life-threatening, none of the servants fell victim to it.
However, it seems that the Duke and Friedrich-san canāt help but think about various things and have been caught by the pervertās auto defence several times.
When I say that they had ulterior motives, Iām not talking about kidnapping or anything like that, but about trade, technological exchange, or using the connection with the elves to improve the status of the Duke.
By the way, the first time, they were trying to lure her with sweets to make her want to come back to the Dukeās residence.
Well, to be honest, I thought she should let them get away with that much, but I guess that pervert canāt forgive when it comes to Lolis.
However, Iām sure full with the feelings of āwhat theyāre wonderingā.
Oh yeah. When the maids apologized to me, I found out that I was suspected of kidnapping children or having an illegitimate child.
No, No, I donāt do that!
Well, thinking from the maidās point- a commoner man who was allowed to enter Annaās room suddenly returned with a hooded child, is not hard to understand how I could be mistaken in this situationā¦ā¦
Well, she stayed for two days after that, and as a three-year-old girl, she did whatever she wanted and caused a storm at the dukeās mansion before returning to her home.
By the way, Miri-chan didnāt say āI want to come againā but said āBring Anna to play with meā to me, so the plan of the duke seems to have failed.
Oh yeah, and that pervert didnāt ask for any compensation whatsoever.
When I dropped him off at the elf village, he said to me, āWhen you get married and have children, bring them to me.ā
What can I say, I thought that there are times when she is a pervert, and also times when they call her selfless Wise Sage.
Of course, she was still a pervert, but for a moment I thought that maybe she was just a pervert who liked children.
No, Well, no matter how it turns out, a pervert is a pervert.
Also, itās important to say that I tried holding her hand, kissing her, hugging her, and many other things, but it didnāt work.
I still donāt know what is the key to waking Anna up.

Now that a little time has passed since I returned Miri-chan to the elf village, I think itās time to sort out the situation here.
First, the Kingdom of Xaus, which had attacked with a large army, lost most of its troops and withdrew. Peace has returned to the territory of Ramslett dukedom.
It was quite a blow for the Ramslett dukedom to be deprived of its stockpile of wheat and to have its invaded city plundered.
However, thanks to a solid claim for damages against the Kingdom of Xaus and response of almost full compensation, the balance of income and expenditure seemed to be quite positive.
This may be due to Friedrich-sanās power at the end of war negotiations, but the main reason seems to be that the defeat was too great for the Kingdom of Xaus to ignore.
According to the Duke, the army that attacked us was over 100,000, which is almost all the army that the Kingdom of Xaus can mobilize for an expedition.
It is estimated that only about 20,000 to 30,000 returned home safely after being defeated by the Duke of Ramslettās army of only 10,000.
If this gap is exploited and the Kingdom of Xaus is invaded, it will be the Kingdom of Xaus that will be cut off from its territory.
By the way, the Duke had asked for reinforcements, but the royal family did not send any reinforcements.
Therefore, all negotiations for the end of the war were conducted by the Duke of Ramslett.
I heard that there is no problem with this because this Kingdom is like a feudal system, but itās also strange that they didnāt send reinforcements to defend the Kingdomās territory.
After all, was it because he had refused all cooperation and asked for the disinheritance of the Crown Prince?
On the other hand, I heard that the eastern front against the Est Empire ended up in a stalemate after I left.
It seems that the Centraren Kingdom, which wants to defend the seized Bruseni, and the Est Empire, which wants to reclaim it, are in a state of a slow standoff.
However, since we had captured the fortified city of Cardassia and taken all of the Bruseni regions, I had met the victory conditions that the king had mentioned.
Yes, as far as Iām concerned, this should be no problem.

Honestly, I think they should either quickly make peace with the Est Empire, or increase their forces and push them a little further.
Well, unlike in the game, the war is overwhelmingly in our favour, so the possibility of the destruction of the royal capital has been greatly reduced.
Unless the king makes a very stupid decision, that isā¦..
ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼
Iām currently riding in the Dukeās carriage to the royal capital.
The reason why we are heading to the royal capital is because the duke has been summoned by that king, personally.
Heās willing to negotiate for my reward, but the Dukeās assessment is that heās most likely aiming for assassination or house arrest.
Besides, according to the Dukeās secret agent, the King says that Iām the royal adventurer he discovered.
To be frank, I donāt know what that means.
However, taking into account the various circumstances, he came to the conclusion that the king was thinking of eliminating the Duke of Ramslett.
I totally agree with that idea.
So we discussed the various possibilities and came up with a few plans. Some plans would be to fight, some would be to bow, but if things keep going like this, it would be the plan to fight.
But if the plan is to fight, the country will be divided and the people will be forced to sacrifice a lot.
So, as a final negotiation, the duke dared to go to the royal capital, knowing that it was a trap.
In the course of that discussion, I told him about my blessings and skills. I would no longer have to hide anything from the Duke since we would now be in-laws.
However, to my surprise, the Duke knew that I had a skill or blessing other than the ćWind Magicć skill.
The duke predicted that I would have assassin-related blessings, or a type of skill that hides my appearance, a skill that specializes in the use of some kind of dark weapon, and the skill of ćNo Chantć and that I would have something more.
He was right for the most part.
However, as expected, the blessing of thećWind Godćwas unexpecting and surprised him a lot.
And, well, thatās why the Duke, who knew about my blessings and skills, decided to take me to the capital as his shadow escort.
If we make a mistake here, the country will be divided, so we canāt afford to lose the Duke at this point.
That is why I want to do everything in my power to prevent that from happening, and take a path that will minimize the damage to the people who are just living in peace.
The duke and I share the same feelings, and Iām sure Anna does too.
Thus, we rode to the royal capital with a fragment of hope.
