“Are you serious?”

King XIV of Anjou looked at the Duke of Orléans with wide eyes.

“However, there is one condition.”

King Anjou XIV shook his head at his words.

“Then it will be a bit difficult.”

“I will have a separate command system for only my soldiers.”

At those words, the hall became noisy again.

“Ivosius, Duke of Orléans, isn’t that a promise to have an independent military organization?!”

Count Lajuran shouted, pounding on the desk.

Meanwhile, the Duke of Orléans steadfastly began to express his opinion.

“In addition, the size will be 15,000, of which 3,000 will be cavalry.”

“Woooo!!!”

The royalist nobles booed him.

“Say something that makes sense!”

“Is that what someone who becomes His Majesty’s uncle would say?!”

“I can’t believe I would lead a private army of that size! Are you plotting a treason?!”

bang! bang! bang!

Count Lachefort pounded the table with his fist.

Ujikkeun!

As he pounded on it with his fist, the table broke.

“Oh… oh my.”

Soon the intestines became cold.

Count Lachefort laughed and shook the wood chips off his hands.

“What I want to say is, please don’t say nonsense like treason without any evidence.”

He calmly expressed his opinion.

“In that case, isn’t there a need for independent command authority in the first place?”

“Are you saying that the Duke of Orléans should take command from someone else?”

“If you don’t like it, why don’t you go to war?”

While the nobles were arguing among themselves, the Duke of Orléans looked at Armand.

“Then why not ask Cardinal Rohan?”

“Umm…”

Count Lajuran drooled at his words.

Armand let out a small sigh and opened his mouth.

“There is a sharp divide between the positions that Österburg should be supported and those that should not. The reason is because we stand at two crossroads.”

The Duke of Orleans nodded at his words.

“Let’s think about it this way. Which country would it be better for us to be closer to, Österburg or Turkey?”

“In terms of trade, Turkiye is…!”

“Wouldn’t it be Österburg rather than pagans?”

Once again, people split into two and started fighting.

“Isn’t it the basics of diplomacy to strike up nearby places and establish friendships with distant places?”

“Are you trying to be friendly with people who are, at best, pagans? Are you really a pagan?”

“You keep saying things like that, so are you an espionage from Österburg?”

“What, spy?! Have you finished speaking now?!”

“First of all, do you have the right to be angry when you say you are a pagan?!”

“Hey!”

A man from the noble faction jumped over the table.

“Uh…?!”

“That… is that person?!”

Wow!

He grabbed a nobleman by the collar and punched him in the face.

“Huh?!”

The nobleman who got hit in the face was embarrassed and tried to hit the nobleman who grabbed him by the collar, but was hit again.

“No, this one!”

The noble sitting next to him pushed the noble from the noble faction and got on top of him.

“Hit someone without any culture?!”

Wow! puck!

He practiced his own inconsistency in words and actions and began punching mercilessly.

“Go and help!”

“Wow!!!”

The nobles from the noble faction all rushed towards the nobles from the royal faction.

“Let’s show them the hot taste!”

At the shout of Count Lajuran, the royalist nobles rushed out.

Wow! Sigh! Kwajangchang!

The conference room quickly turned into a brawl.

“Puhup! Is this a conference hall or a colosseum…”

When I laughed, Armand turned his head and looked at me.

“Don’t laugh.”

At his warning, I nodded and stepped back.

I faced the wall and desperately suppressed the laughter that threatened to burst out.

“Quiet!”

As the atmosphere became more heated again, King Anjou XIV shouted.

“Everyone please take your seats!”

The nobles huffed and sat down again.

“Cardinal, please continue speaking.”

“Thank you.”

Armand bowed his head to King Anjou XIV and expressed his gratitude.

“What everyone said is not wrong. But didn’t you already make an appointment with Turkiye while receiving coffee?”

“Are you saying you will keep your promise to the heretics?!”

A nobleman shouted at Armand.

“Even though we have established colonies in the New World or the East, isn’t it true that the land route through Turkye is cheaper when it comes to importing spices?”

“That’s true, but…”

His words were met with murmurs from those opposing him.

“Then raise your hand if there is anyone here who doesn’t eat pepper or coffee.”

Everyone looked at each other blankly at his words.

“Now, raise your hand.”

Even when Armand urged, no one raised their hand.

“The Elens captured by pirates in Turkiye have not yet been properly repatriated, and the economic benefits from Turkiye are still great.”

“Umm…”

At his words, the opposing nobles kept their mouths shut and looked dissatisfied.

“But that doesn’t mean we can just keep our eyes open and watch the crisis of our fellow church members.”

“What on earth are we going to do?”

“Let’s send the military too.”

“Are you trying to break the agreement with Turkiye?”

“However, they hide their official identity and join the army by making themselves volunteer soldiers.”

“Is it hidden just because you hide it?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to say that nominally, we gathered from outside of Elance? Since it is a gathering of Elance people and not the Elance army, Turkiye will not be able to say anything.”

People nodded at his suggestion.

“What will you do if you send in the volunteer army and Vienna flies the moon star like Constantine did 200 years ago?”

“Even if Vienna is occupied like Konstanitiye, won’t our Elance become the leader here then?”

“If you do that, how will you respond to criticism from other countries?”

“If Vienna accepts refugees from the occupied city and even pretends to send troops to fight the Ottoman army, no one will be able to say anything.”

Armand took a sip of water and continued speaking.

“Anyway, it is not a big problem for us Elance whether Vienna is occupied or not.”

At those words, the nobles all fell silent.

“So what should the scale be?”

“I don’t know much about the military, so I think it can be decided by those who know better.”

After those words, Armand said nothing.

“Then who would be better to lead the volunteer army?”

“What do you think about Marquis Ancian?”

Everyone in the royal faction nodded at the words of one king faction noble.

“The Marquis of Ancian! Aren’t you royalists too shameless?”

The nobles of the aristocratic faction protested all at once.

“We recommend Viscount Mondeman.”

“Where did you get such an unprecedented diploma!”

“Are you calling this man a diplomat after winning consecutive victories in the 30-year war?!”

Once again, the conference hall became a mess.

“Be quiet!”

The conference hall became quiet again as King Anjou XIV shouted.

“How is it that there is never a quiet day? I wonder if you guys came here to fight.”

“I am very sorry.”

The nobles bowed their heads to King XIV of Anjou.

“Then I will select someone from the neutral faction.”

King Anjou XIV looked closely at the neutral nobles in the middle.

“What do you think, Viscount Ajaccio?”

Everyone’s eyes focused on Viscount Ajaccio at his words.

“Hmm…? What is that face?”

When I looked at Viscount Ajaccio’s face, I felt like I couldn’t remember anything.

‘Where… I’ve seen this face somewhere…’

I suddenly remembered the watch I had placed between my cleavages.

‘Ah, that person who played darts back then…!’

“Do you know Viscount Ajaccio?”

I nodded to Armand’s question.

“I once made a face when I caught Andre.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Armand waved his hand and pushed me back.

“If it were Viscount Ajaccio… wouldn’t it be okay?”

“Because we are neither the royal faction nor the noble faction…”

“My wife is also the daughter of a neutral nobleman, so she is not biased.”

People began to be inclined to favor sending Viscount Ajaccio.

At that time, the Duke of Orleans raised his hand.

“Then why not send one person each from the noble faction and the king faction?”

“Let’s do as the Duke said.”

King XIV of Anjou readily accepted the Duke of Orléans’ proposal.

“Then when would it be a good idea to send the military?”

In response to King Anjou XIV’s question, a nobleman raised his hand.

“Tell me.”

The nobleman stood up, bowed, and bowed.

“Currently, 150,000 Turkic troops are said to be heading to Vienna, so it would be a good idea to prepare for about a month before dispatching troops.”

“Okay, then prepare a budget accordingly.”

“Okay.”

The noble bowed, bowed, and then sat down.

“Then does anyone have any more opinions?”

King Anjou XIV looked around the audience and asked.

When no one raised their hand, he stood up.

“Then, the meeting will be canceled for today. Over!”
