Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend

Chapter 188.2

I am grateful that the other side is openly showing us who is in charge of this diplomatic and intriguing affairs from the other side.

The Viscount Zeavert (Welner) himself does not want money or treasures.

The entire group laughed at the comment made by Crown Prince Hubert. The lack of greed might make one suspicious, but this was not the case with Welner. Rather, the overall impression was that he was just somewhat lacking in some aspects.

Is it because he was the second son?

Perhaps.

In fact, aside from the eldest son, who was the heir to a noble family, in most cases, if nothing was done, the second and lower sons become very greedy and lazy thinking that they could spend their time playing parasites on the family. As a countermeasure to this situation, noble houses nowadays mostly assign them to be knights, which when successful might garner enough points for them to be adopted into another noble family and creating a connection.

They concluded that Welners selflessness was probably due to the fact that he had been brought up with a sense of self-worth.

Im sure hell get over it in the future.

Im sure.

To the outside world, Welner was still just a student. It was only natural that he would not feel the need to think beyond that point at the present time. However, he had achieved so much at his age, that it would be considered extraordinary.

Seyfart once told me. He is not an ambitious man, but a man of purpose. (King)

I see.

Several of them nodded in agreement with the Kings statement. At the same time, there was no one here who did not understand the hidden intent behind that statement.

The purpose that should not be given to Welner, who did not have ambitions or excessive desires, was a reason to antagonize the Bain Kingdom.

Seyfarts assessment was spot on. If the Bain Kingdom intended to harm Welners own safety or that of Mazell or Lily or his family, Welner would no doubt move with the intention of overthrowing the Bain Kingdom and work towards that end.

It was unlikely that the country would lose, but even then the damage would inevitably be great considering Welners talent. Conversely, if they continued to give Welner the objective problems to solve within the country, they could continue to employ his talents without making him their enemy.

He was both easy and difficult to deal with from the point of view of those in power, but one could not be named King or Minister without being able to deal with subjects of that caliber.

Speaking of which, what happened to Viscount Vogel, and what has happened after that?

We need not concern ourselves with that. Count Ingo will make his move even if we dont do anything.

If one were to put a value between the two, Cortolezis would have no value and Ingo was a great minister. Ingo was recognized for his talent and ability, and would not have reached his current position without it, even as a Count. There was no doubt that Count Ingo would make good use of this situation as well.

Now that I recall, the Viscount Zeavert (Welner) mentioned a problem with the water supply system.

The underground water supply is running dry, but we have an aqueduct, so we are not experiencing any problems for now.

Then it is good for the time being. The water supply should be surveyed as soon as possible. Next, in regard to the Cortolezis

Yes, about that

The relaxed air tensed up. Everyone understood that the situation had entered the next stage because the aristocrats, who were quick to see the opportunity, made a move. There were also problems on the church side, and there was no choice but to pay attention on how to deal with this issue.

First, about the matter of some of them escaping.

Mm.

Information was shared and suggestions and objections were made. After this, there was an agenda item on tax revenues, followed by the issue of preparedness for the demon armys attack on the royal capital. The meeting also lasted until midnight.
