Ah, to have a boss that is willing, and capable, to cover your ass. Now that's a dream.

Thanks for translating!

 

[OWMWO]

That is a very clever use of giving hidden message.
Also, damn.. if EVIL why HAWT??!!

 

[CrimsonWarden]

Glad to see an update after so long.
Just a little bit of fluff to build up towards the next arc.

I used to have a boss like that, then she retired. New boss says the right words, but doesn't follow them up with the right actions.

It's so hard to take this seriously when the casualty number is 4.

He's standing in front of the emperor to talk about a battle where thirty thousand of his people were killed, and later he goes on to make a grand speech and say... Even four of my own soldiers died. Truly, it was a tragedy.

Like, hello? 4 is a rounding error at this level of scale. You should've expected four casualties on a successful mission, and instead you're bemoaning it as a serious loss on a suicide one. The duke should be laughing him out of the room, regardless of his accomplishments.

 

[alacaelum]

Hmmm... that is actually a smart trick, a message hidden in the smallest details... but pray tell... WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT IT OUT LOUD?

The best tactical way to outmaneuver Ritreille... surprisingly... is to wait and see.

Her actions are actually incredibly detrimental to the country, as it was said... she may have sights on the throne itself, but the fact doesn't change... she is weakening the very structure she wants to take.

But the thing is... if she keeps doing this, ultimately she will have only enemies. If she mismanages a single step, the ones she "hustled" will band together, bide their time, and reconvene, trying to recover some strength, however small; the ones that ally themselves to her will constantly keep an eye, because with her methods... none of them can trust her, so they will take any opportunity to get one over her, which she certainly knows.

She is de facto intelligent; the problem isn't her smarts... it is her method... but even then... it is exactly a guarantee that her defeat will be "gracious".

If certain things aren't dealt with, her defeat could actually trigger a catastrophic chain reaction.

I feel that worse than having to deal with a bad or incompetent boss... is having had a good one, then having to deal with a bad one right after in the same job.

Because of the expectations and image created, the disappointment can feel almost like betrayal.

I like when nobles in manga do cool things. Writing down the names of the four that died, so that future generations will continue to honour them? How about say fuck it and make it a national holiday? Happy Sixth Brigade day?

4 might be a rounding error, but it only is if we are talking about statistics. That is, stripping away our humanity and consider personnels as mere "human resources".

In this situation, however, he was talking to the new Duke on a personal level. They were talking about honour and tragedy. 4 girls who died are 4 too many, especially if the main responsibility lied on the Duke's father. So I don't think him mentioning that would be inappropriate. The brigade could have been wiped out and the MC could not have stood there to protect the fallen Duke's honour.

This is actually one of the major cause of Ritrielle's defeat.
Because she usurped her position of Duchess, she had never been taught this secret method and dismissed the letters.

 

[WonderingSFaiz]

Wow they really need to make sure they don't do sloppy stamp job then

 

[Pyras]

Binge Rereading this years later is gonna be GLORIOUS !!

EAT SHIT BITCH!!!

Ahem, glad he stood up denying the slander. Conspiring for the house downfall is one thing, but she just need to be extra staining the late house head name.....

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thanks for the chapter!!!

 

[74HC595]

Woo, thanks for the chapter. Gotta enjoy the dynamic between our lead characters.

 

[BanzaiYuri]

Love how Alzer is constantly dropping hints of how valuable he is to her and bro is none the wiser lmaooo

Also, damn.. if EVIL why HAWT??!!

Nah, she a hag in the truest sense of the word.

I'm not sure if he did talk out lout about the message or only said to his subordinate that he understood the secret code.
The directions he gave after werespoken yes, but because he had to do so.
He didn't accept the letter because the meeting was in "enemy territory" and is possible someone was observing them, by refusing the letter it sends the signal that he is not plaaning together with another noble, the wax secret code could be a thing the 2 families have between them and each family have another code, leaving the doubt in the spy and its master.

You are perfectly right about fox eyes lady, her methods are creating enemies with her trying to force her position above the other houses, effective on the moment by negative on the long as she is not making allies, add to that to make the other nobles lose their position she is damaging the nation military strenght, safety and honor.

She is desperate to not becme a marriage pawn...too desperate.
