127 A misplaced parent's mind.

I used the time to prepare Charles for his growth plan. It is absurd that I care about such trivial matters that bear the fate of the world, but I am forced to do so by the same recession of women around me.

I first decided on Charles's six-month footing. I asked Woedin briefly and advised her that she should be over a year old, but I cut her in half and forced her into six months. It's because I believed that my son could do enough, and there was no case at all.

And I caught it at the age of writing for a year. Although there were many opinions that this was also absurd, Joseph, my brother, had recited all 40,000 characters of the ancient runes when he was five years old, and he believed that my son would be able to do it well.

I may not make it, of course, but it's not entirely my fault. The people of my car are really smart. If you can't, it's purely a maternal issue. It was a big deal to look like Padilla, but I was worried.

I also set the time to complete basic sword acquisition and enlighten Mana from 1 year to 2 years of age.

Even though it was a fairly quick time for a year, I believed that neither sword nor magical genius had ever done so, and that my son would certainly be able to do it.

I was about to rapidly increase Mana in Charles' body through the elixir that had been airborne on the East Continent. I believed that if I took one daily as a supplement, I could be on top of Expert for half a year.

Then it was time for me to become a master, but I thought a year would be enough. Of course, it took me four years to get to the master after I got to the top level of Expert, but I believed Charles would be able to do it well, since it didn't take less than three years to stagnate.

The problem was the environment. Me and Charles are growing from very different backgrounds. I have lived in an age of destruction, and sword grew rapidly, but my son did not have such an environmental element.

But I did not doubt that if I, my father, created that environment and rolled it up tightly, Charles would be able to get to the Master as early as me.

I, as a father, have to do that much for my son. ’

Now that you're three years old and six months old, it's expected to take you about two years to make the best master test. I've been on top of my master's exam for two years.

The problem was the time to rise to the Mind Master.

The mind master explores the realm of the complete mind and the realm of the fundamental soul. It was never easy to get up to this stubborn ground.

But I've captured this period for a year. This was before the age of destruction. I thought my son would have to be a Mind Master in order for Charles to live this period wisely.

Then it was time to seriously consider the growth of the Mind-Master Charles in the midst of the Age of Doom. Charles was six and a half at the time. According to my history, the extinction of humanity was a little more than a year away.

But I was going to postpone this for a few more years.

That's why we're heating up the development and fortification of Jores Island. I was about to crown Charles the Soul Master. If you don't want to survive, you won't be able to.

After that, I was about to leave Charles with the great mission of saving humanity and retire from the field to enjoy the rest of my life in comfort.

“How's Alita? Is that okay?"

Inside the Oval Office, after reviewing my schedule, Alita notices me and says a few words.

“If you show Padilla this chart, she won't be able to survive. ”

“No, why? ”

“It doesn't make any sense, does it? ”

“Well, isn't this a little realistic? Everyone else has done it. You don't have a baby who hasn't stepped out in six months, and projecting the life of a genius on a per-spectrum basis, I think that's enough time. ”

Alieta decides decides decides firmly as if she doesn't need to worry about it.

“Absolutely not. How does a 7-year-old get into the Mind Master? ”

“No. You can look at it all the time. Honestly, so is my cousin Prince Simon. When my brother was 10, he made 100,000 arrows out of sand. This is completely creative. Beyond the Soul Master, you must ascend to the realm of God. But my cousin finally did it. ”

Alista narrows her eyes.

“Have you seen it? ”

I rolled my eyes.

“I didn't see it with my own eyes, but that's what everyone says. Teach them that way at school. ”

“I don't know. However, if you want to be safe, extend the timeline loosely on your schedule. Your plan is very tight right now. ”

“Really?"

“Yes, you need to increase it by at least 20 years. It's a little dangerous, actually. ”

I gazed at Alieta with shrewd eyes. He doesn't know the age of destruction. In order for Charles to survive that difficult period, he needs to show this level of growth.

Then Padilla enters the Oval Office. She came up with a bright face and gave me glad tidings.

“Grand Duke, I've sent a delegation from Grolmog. ”

I had a big smile in my mouth. Grolmog sent a squad of ambassadors who couldn't resist. This made it very likely that the Yosrahim Empire would also send a death squad leading a high-ranking diplomat. You can't help but come when you hear the news of our arrangement with Gromlog.

Now, if we can harness this opportunity to mediate the two forces well, we can stop the war.

“Really? Where are they now? ”

“I'm meeting with Zenbee in Badru. ”

Badru was the northwesternmost castle in Kara, bordering the Orc plains. Although it was quite a long way to Braam, the trade in the stream through the Office River has developed, so if you travel by ship, you should be able to reach Braam in as little as a week.

If you use the Portal Tower, you can't miss Kara.

“Then get ready to be bought quickly. I care about the hospitality. ”

“If not, I told the Foreign Minister first when I came. ”

“Well done.”

Padilla glanced at the document in my hand with a subtle glance.

“But, Grand Duke, What's the document? ”

I hid the document backwards. I have some advice from Alieta, so I was going to show it to Padilla after the crystal.

“Oh, I've been thinking a little bit about how to raise Charles, but I can't show you the skeleton just yet. ”

“Really? Let me have a look. ”

“I told you I can't show you anything. Very sloppy.”

“Okay, I'll take that under advisement. ”

In Padilla's Bochamp, I finally showed him the plan. Padilla tilts her head, looking carefully at the rest of the story.

“Is this plan really feasible? ”

“Not at all. If you project the lives of geniuses in different parts, you get a rough calculation. Especially when it comes to the great master of swordsmanship. This country has an existing specimen. ”

Padilla nods.

“I'm sure you and my child will do just that. But there's a fatal problem with this chart. ”

“What?"

“Charles is going to be king of Kara. We need to add education to grow as a great monarch. ”

“Oh, I see. Should we increase the timeline a little bit? ”

Padilla waves.

“No. I can make a gap, so I don't think it matters. ”

Alita screams, eavesdropping on our conversation next to us.

“Padilla! You're going to kill your child! If we stick to this plan, Charles will die. ”

Padilla waves her hand, saying she's fine.

“Every child who inherits the royal blood is special. In my case, too. I memorized all the ancient runes when I was three. At the age of five, I was proficient in all of Kara's laws and etiquette, and at the age of six, I was amazed at the world by the miracle of opening the waterway of Lake Kara. ”

“So can you do it now? ”

“I forgot all about it. People don't remember much from their childhood, do they? But that's what everyone says. I had a miracle like that when I was a kid. And Kara's people know that. ”

Alieta's eyes flutter.

“I can't. If I leave it to you, Charles will be skinny-dipping. I'll take care of Charles from now on, so you stay out of it. ”

Padilla looks ridiculous.

“Why did you raise Charles? Charles is my son. ”

“But I'm Charles' godmother. I have a duty as godmother to protect Charles. What if you, as a mother, can't distinguish between false propaganda and reality to strengthen the throne? ”

“What's the matter? This is how mothers raise their children these days. ”

“Who the hell is that? ”

“My friend's mom. ”

I nodded next to him and put in a chorus.

“Well, so did my mother. ”

A frightened Alieta runs out of the Oval Office screaming.

“Anyway, get my permission for Charles' education! I will not stand for this! ”

Padilla looked at me with a subtle glance.

“Alita. What's wrong with her? ”

“Well, maybe you don't know your parents' minds. You've never had a baby before, have you? ”

“I don't think so. ”

But it was a good thing. Alieta said she would help raise Charles as a godmother, so I was relieved of the burden of parenting.

* * *

Ten days later, Grolmog's diplomatic mission arrives at Kara. But a pretty big man came as ambassador. He was a Tulay, not better than Zenbe, but a high-ranking master Berserker highly regarded by the Orc community as well as within the continent.

I left the Tulay in front of the diplomatic table and continued the serious conversation.

“Chief Grolmog has expressed great concern about Kara's recent movements. ”

“Yes. So? ”

“I don't know what you Kara's intentions are, but if you don't relax immediately and return to a friendly posture, you will be rewarded accordingly. ”

Tulay was consistent in a very high-pressure posture.

Orcs are usually like this. Orcs are a society that worships power, so they try to solve anything by force.

That's why we shouldn't solve diplomacy as a conversation with them. They only know power, so you have to push it as a force.

“What's the price? ”

“A cruel and ruthless bloodbath. ”

I grinned.

“Really? But there's an army to turn to Kara? ”

“Bring the whole army and hit them first. ”

“What about Yosrahim's border? ”

“The Orc Meadow is vast. It's not too late to go after you hit Kara. ”

I quietly tucked my chin onto the table.

“Hmm. I don't think that's a bad idea, but the question is, can you beat Kara?" ”

“We have 300,000 troops. ”

“But if you raise an army between us and the Kingdom of Bastein, it's half a million. Besides, we're defensive, so it's a lot better. ”

Tulay frowns. Orcs respect their power, but they're quite basic.

“I see. We Orcs are ahead of each other in individual combat. ”

“That was before the magical grenade launchers and mace became popular. Now that these weapons are out, the one who pulled the trigger, not the strong, wins. And the country with the most of these new weapons is our kingdom of Kara. ”

“But we have Grolmog, the Mind Master Berserker. ”

“Actually, we have a mind master. Have you ever heard of Sister Armida? ”

“I see. Human females are no match for the great chieftain Grolmog. ”

“Have you tried it? ”

“Of course I will. ”

I looked at Tulay, who said it was petty. Armida is a holy servant of all forces of darkness, and Grolmog has the ability to recognize her.

So even if they tried to fight, they couldn't fight. Grolmog, who has a dark faith, is a serious cross to fight against his sister Armida, so of course Grolmog should concede the battle.

“Then you'll see. Just remember one thing when you come. The fact that we Kara don't tolerate enemy challenges like you Orcs. ”

The Thule rises.

“Are you trying? ”

“You've got a live one. You're the ones trying to attack, aren't you? If 300,000 troops are gathering across the border, we can't help ourselves, can we? ”

“But we said we weren't going to invade your kingdom of Kara! ”

“How can we believe that? ”

“I am honest. Trust me."

I shrugged.

“But I hate honest people the most. I hit the back of my head one big time. I know I was right, but it hurt. ”

“Back off! Are you insulting me?! ”

“I'm not talking about insults, I'm talking about my way of life. ”

Thule sweeps his face and sighs deeply.

“Enough gossip. Let's get down to business. Are you sure Kara doesn't want to bite down the army? ”

“You see, if you disband the warriors you've gathered, we'll take the army ourselves if you don't want us to." Placing an army on the front costs a lot of money. ”

“But we cannot because of the Yosrahim Empire. They are now gathering an army of a million. ”

“So are we. I can't help you. You're rounding up 300,000 warriors, right? ”

Tulay glances at me with shrugged eyes.

“You are secretly holding hands with the Yosrahim Empire, aren't you? ”

“You're welcome. We only want peace. We don't want war. ”

Thule twitches his lips.

“Do you really want us to believe that? ”

“Yes, you can. My kingdom of Kara has a history of being invaded and hates war. ”

“Then prove it yourself. If we can prove convincing, I'll trust you. ”

That's what I've been waiting for. I just stretched three fingers.

“Very well. Then I offer you a conditional alliance of three nations here. ”

“Conditional what? What's that supposed to mean? ”

“It's simple. If there is a war between the Yosrahim Empire and your Grolmog army, we and the Kingdom of Bastein will unite with the invaded and join forces with the one who started it. ”

Thule opens his eyes.

“What is wrong with you people? ”

“Because I love peace. ”

“Does that mean you want to share the world domination? ”

“Of course I do. We're not some charitable businessmen. How can we help them for free? Isn't that right?”

Tulay sits still.

If Grolmog didn't want war, my proposition would have to be very glamorous.

The Kingdom of Kara was a trade and state-of-the-art industrial empire, and the Kingdom of Bastein was still a mighty kingdom, albeit a brief decline. Together, the Grolmovs were able to easily repel the Yosrahim invasion.

“Anyway, that's not a bad story. ”

“Good deal for everyone. Except the country that started the war first. But you'd better not try anything. If you actively provoke your opponent to start a war, or if you allow them to start a war by working underwater, we will consider the plot to be an invasion. ”

“I see. I'll keep that in mind. ”

“Then call Grolmore. You're not the only one making decisions, are you? ”

“Of course. I'll see you later then. ”

“Yes."

The first meeting with Grolmog ended well. It was only a short conversation, but it was a very useful time. I announced my three conditional alliances to the world.

If this treaty works properly, the history of Grolmog invading Karl's territory will be lost, and the history of the Yosrahim Empire invading Orc Meadow will be lost entirely.
