The Eternal Debauchery's

general plot

Five minutes later, Aunt Dayana and I arrived at the general's tent.

When we entered the tent, we found the general sitting at the table looking at the map.

"You're here." General Liko looked at us and nodded. "Please sit."

After we sat across from the general, Aunt Dayana looked at him with a serious expression.

"General, I want to know what you want to talk to us about."

“Obviously it's about repeated conflicts between soldiers and your men.” The general said coldly. "This situation can't go on like this."

I chuckled slowly shaking my head. “If not mistaken General. It is your people who have been looking for trouble with my people since a while ago. From what I see, everything will be fine if you take better control of your men.

The general glared at me unhappily, but he didn't turn angry.

“Of course, I can see it. However, I think the root cause behind this conflict is you.”

"Oh? Will you explain it to me? ” I asked.

“That's because of your people's treatment. Different from soldiers, the people in your caravan receive much better treatment, with hot meals served at every meal, rather than military rations and better sleeping arrangements. It was normal if the soldiers felt unfairly treated after seeing that.”

I looked at the general and nodded.

Actually, the general was right.

Aunt Dayana, Aunt Sera, Katherine, Lina, Andrea, Ysnay, and the people from the Fangs of Eternity are my people. So, their accommodation for this trip was paid for by me, and I don't mind wasting a lot of money just to make them feel comfortable.

The soldiers, on the other hand, were recruited by the empire, and there were a total of ten thousand of them. There was no way the empire would waste money to give them delicious food every day. The cost will be huge

However

"Are you saying that it's our fault?" I asked without hiding any disgust in my accusatory gaze.

Do you think I'm an idiot?

It has been three days since we left the capital. Even if some soldiers are dissatisfied, it is not enough for them to attack my men.

In other words, there is another reason.

Someone incited them to seek trouble with us.

After all, this regiment was under the control of a general from the enemy faction. If he wants to make some soldiers look for trouble with my men, it's too easy.

The general frowned, but he did not care about the gaze accusing me and continued unabashedly.

“I think it's your fault, Your Honor. So, I hope you pay attention to this matter. Thinking about it, they were traveling with the regiment, so they had to follow the orders of this regiment, right?”

Oh? So that was your goal from the beginning, yeah.

"In your dreams." Aunt Dayana answered. With a sneer, he stopped the general from speaking again. “Do you think we're idiots, General Liko? These people were the personal person of His Majesty Claus, who was in charge of his protection. Do you think we'll just give it to you?”

The general shrugged, obviously already expecting this answer.

Although the purpose of this caravan was to complete the exchange with the Carmell family, in the papers, they were the men who came to support me.

Even Rose, Katherine, and Ysnay. They are here as my followers.

And there's nothing the general can do about it.

“I see your point.” The general nodded and said. “But the situation can't continue like this. I hope His Majesty Claus can find a way to resolve the tension with the soldiers, otherwise, we should follow my advice. ”

I stared at the general for a few seconds before laughing.

"Why should I?" I said.

“Mm?”

“Soldiers are your people, generals, not mine. I don't have to care what they think. Moreover–” I then grinned and my eyes glowed with an icy light. "If I find another incident like this, I will kill the soldiers that caused the problem."

"Prince Klaus!"

"What's? you don't like that? However, I think they deserve to die if they dare to fight one of the imperial princes.”

The general's expression darkened.

"Your Majesty, I hope you remember I am the general in charge of this regiment."

"Yes. And I will follow your orders when it comes to war." I nodded without hesitation, but my voice was still cold. “However, you must remember I am a prince. And there are some things you can't force me to do.”

The general was silent. He then took a deep breath and nodded.

“I will remember your words, Your Majesty. You can go."

I nodded with a smile, stood up, and left the tent. Aunt Dayana followed behind me coldly, showing absolutely no respect for the general.

As we left the tent, Aunt Dayana looked at me anxiously.

“... Claus, is it okay?”

I shrugged my shoulders indifferently. “Do not worry, aunt. He would not dare to do anything excessive. More importantly, when are we going to meet people from the Carmell family?”

“According to plan, the regiment will be camping near a small town tonight. People from the Carmell family will be waiting for us in the suburbs and giving us military supplies in exchange for money. And yet"

"What?"

“i'm afraid they'll try to play us. So, we have to prepare for the worst possible. You must take your teacher with us, Claus.”

“You mean Ysnay?” manywould be surprised.

"Yes he. I know he is so strong that he will be of great help. Speaking of that, I haven't seen that woman lately. Where's she?"

I shrugged my shoulders indifferently. "She must be planning something weird out there."

Dayana nodded and looked at me strangely.

“... Claus, why do I feel like your relationship with her is weird?”

“Mm?”

“Yah... She seems to like you, but you always keep a certain distance from her. It's not like you. After all you always seduce every beautiful woman you meet.”

… Auntie, what kind of pervert do you think I am?

Thas right.

What can I do? It's not my fault I'm so charming.
