Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraitakedo, Nazeka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken (WN)-Chapter 68: Masatsugu faction formation.

Translator: Mr.Nobody

The nobles of Warm’s Kingdom raised angry voices at Miyamoto and my classmates who were whining.

“Stop fooling around and listen to Masatsugu’s orders! If you are Warm’s soldiers then you should understand!”

“Wha!?”

Miyamoto had his eyes wide open in surprise. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

That’s what to be expected. I can’t even laugh at this worthless conversation.

“Enough of this, Miyamoto. A subordinate naturally listens to the orders of the King. Anyone who refuses protection and won’t listen to orders wouldn’t be able to make good use of being under the King. Even kindergartens understand this. Can you understand?”

I explained out of kindness to my classmates.

There’s a reason why I did so much.

“Shut up, shut up already Masatsugu! There wasn’t a single day where I forgot my hatred of you stealing my holy sword! I’ve trained so much until I vomit blood so that I can defeat you! So why do I need to follow your orders!?’

He yelled in anger.

I shook my head and I looked at him with pity.

“Then, your neck will be gone.”

I calmly informed him.

“Ha? What foolish…”

With a surprised expression he let out a idiotic voice.

But he looked at the surroundings and noticed it.

The nobles were throwing harsh looks to Miyamoto.

“Why? Why are you all supporters of Masatsugu? This guy suddenly appeared and took the throne! He should be thrown out!”

“Be silent!”

One noble yelled out to Miyamoto enough to drown out Miyamoto’s voice. This noble if I remember is called Meja and he is a frontier count.

“Our territories are going to be trampled down by the army of the dead! Even if you say so the previous king wasn’t able to get support! Compared to him Masatsugu is a lot more better.”

“Haa!? That’s your affairs! That’s why you forgave him usurping like this…”

“What can a green horn like you understand! We have no use for a king who won’t send even one soldier when the soldiers are marching to our country even now!”

That’s right.

Nobles are such beings. They’re like kings in their own territory.

“Adding to the King’s orders I also inform you as Meja the descendant of the holy lineage Cail and count of Lovesconte frontier territory. Now immediately swear loyalty to Masatsugu the King and dispatch according to the decree! Talking back is not allowed! If you can’t listen then as the King ordered you’ll leave your head in this castle.”

“Wha!?”

Miyamoto’s mouth was opening and closing.

Truly a meaningless conversation. It seems Miyamoto didn’t expect this. This is why I explained to Miyamoto as much as possible.

The only one who can save the country from national crisis is a king with power and the ones who won’t listen to orders and let evil happen are incarnation of demons.

Protesting is natural.

As a king I need to respect the will of the nobles to some extent. This is even more true if we want to save ourselves from the crisis.

“I’ll give you one more chance, Miyamoto. Swear complete loyalty to me. And then never go against my orders and dispatch immediately!”

“It’s great that the King is merciful, Sir Miyamoto!”

Count Meja also interjected.

They may think I’m naive.

I may have taken him lightly.

But, I can’t help it. I am not a demon. I want to fix this hack-job person. This is what you would call friendliness to classmates.

“Master is too kind! If you don’t move immediately then I’ll bring you out by myself!”

“That’s right! People who can’t fit in the war council should leave the throne room as fast as possible!”

Lucia and Elin also got angry.

Well, I was too naive.

“Gigigi. I understand.”

“Is that how you talk to the KIng? Put an end to fooling around or your head will truly be gone.”

I got fed up too and mixed anger in my words.

“Yes. I understand.” (TN: He is being polite here.)

Miyamoto calmed himself and with a bowed head replied back.

Why do I have to suffer to make you understand.

Things that are obvious should obviously be done.

This is why I hate talking to people who were raised in a comfortable environment.

They have no common sense.

Now, the thing with Miyamoto is good.

Still, this doesn’t mean that everyone supports my coronation.

Especially the nobles.

Count Meja represents the nobles who under the impact of the national crisis have accepted and support me as King with ability.

The other side…

“Wait a bit! I still don’t recognize the coronation!”

“That’s right! The next appropriate king would be the First Imperial Prince Barbarossa-sama!”

“No, it’s rather the third Prince Keilig.”

“No,no…”

No, no like birds chirping.

There are bizarre and good-for nothing on the top.

“Don’t you all understand this crisis!? Right now all of us nobles should we be in unison on the side of the new King!”

“That’s right! Why can’t you understand that there will be no succession if the country is ruined! This is why we call you bumpkins from the coast.”

“What! You honorless lot speak of war!? Like wild boars return to the battlefield!”

“That’s right! Besides the route of the marching dead doesn’t go through our land! In the time the Kingdom is ruined we’ll just declare independence!”

“Do you think your finance will hold if you go independent!? Even as a joke in peaceful times you shouldn’t say it.”

“Do you not understand that this Kingdom can stand even without your marine products!”

“We came to defend the Kingdom! How convenient is to be blessed like you lot!”

“Nobody requested that.”

As matter of nature a 2nd faction was born.

The other side is supporting me.

Noble union beneath me called “Masatsugu-faction.”.

There are many territories along the frontier and a lot of in-land territories on the march of the dead.

The other noble union is called “King-faction.”

These nobles and king’s kin are from the safe territories from the back of the imperial and coastal areas and they are not in the route of the march.

These two factions were crashing in the middle of the throne room.

In the middle of national crisis the conflicts of interests is the most apparent.

Both factions took two different sides of the big table and an endless dispute a so called debate had opened up.

“He’s holding the Lunar Medal! It’s a sacred item sung in legends that says ‘Possessing power equal of a star’! It’s only natural that we should have Masatsugu as king for being a holder of such an item!”

“Holding power equal to a star is just a legend! What power of star! Are you going to say that it will summon the moon in the sky too? Wahahaha!”

That wasn’t the only clash of interest.

“I’ll support Masatsugu as king! To overcome this crisis we definitely need the absolute power of a King!”

Amidst my classmates one voice came out.
