27.5 Lugwin Story: Finding Solutions
After a few days Lugwin, Matiu, and Nicko visit Lucia in the village of Dyms for help. But they seem to have found a way out to solve this war.
This makes Lugwin excited again, the girl again has a purpose in life.
"What do you think the idea of Mr Nata is uncle?" Lugwin asked Matiu as he had returned from Lucia's place to his inn in the center of the village.
"The idea is incredible but it still makes sense. But more than all that, who exactly was that young man? At such a young age he could see and deduce conditions very well, making ideas and plans as if he already had a lot of experience in things like this. And also why is he so familiar with the crown princess Elbrasta?"
"That's it, but I think she's a trustworthy person, because Lucia really likes her. He also saved me yesterday in Herld"
"All the actions are clearly detailed in each plan" said Matiu who stared at the papyrus scroll containing the strategy steps given by Nata before they came home earlier. "Is he a new Elbrasta royal strategist?" This time the question was more about himself.
"But what do you think, spreading rumors and lying to those people is a good thing for us to do uncle?" Tanya Lugwin then who looks a little hesitant with Nata's plan which seems to be praised by Matiu.
"Indeed that's not true princess, but it's the cheapest thing we can do to gather strength"
Lugwin thought silently. Matiu knew that now the girl was having this conflict of mind.
"Have not thought too much about the princess, we better start to gather strength and start looking for allies for our alliance, as planned" Looks Matiu shifted the topic of Lugwin's mind.
"Right uncle, so now what should we do?"
"First of all we can contact and ask the branch families of the royal family to participate in our alliance. After that we will determine which noble families we will attract into the alliance" Matiu explained at length.
"Alright, I will start visiting them tomorrow, while for the other noble families have uncle thought about it?"
"Basically the Dux Laurant is in the west, and the Dux Vincent is in the south, so it is most likely to seek the support of the nobles in the east and north" matiu said before replying, "But the Ellworths are the first greatest opportunity we have. Besides they are a Dux family who have a personal knight garrison, there is also a plan before this that they will betroth their second son to you"
"Why princess?"
"No, it's okay. Next is uncle? Who else is it?" Said Lugwin who seemed to have just regained consciousness from daydreams.
"Dux Owen, their family, the Barnum family are close to your royal family and your family. Until now their families are still in an unbiased position on both sides. So most likely he will listen to your request." Said Matiu whom he briefly searched, "Because Dux Owen has a considerable influence in this northern region. So if he joins our alliance, we can be sure some Jarl and Baron will join by themselves" he concluded later.
"yes too. Well then I'll meet Uncle Owen for help." replied Lugwin, nodding in understanding.
"Then after that, Jarl Hector in Rebenes. Their family territories were the main supporters of this royal winter pagan material. So it would be nice if Jarl Hector could join our alliance army"
"But Mr. Hector is a very thorough and rational person. I don't think he's going to interfere in a war like this" Lugwin voiced his opinion.
"But we should keep trying, princess. Because if we have the Rene family in our alliance, then the food supply for our troops will be assured" Matiu explained.
"Well, I'll head for Rebenes after it's all over" Lugwin replied, asking again, "too for the spread of the rumor?"
"You don't have to worry about the princess, let me take care of all that. You are simply trying your best to persuade those nobles to enter our alliance"
"Well, I'm trusting all of that to my uncle"
"But what you have to remember is that you are an Oracle messenger. Follow the things we've arranged. That you had a dream from the Oracle on the day of his death. And the Oracle is giving you the task to finish this war" Matiu reminded.
Lugwin was silent for a moment. Actually her inner self refuses to do this. Use the name of the Oracle for his own personal gain. But on the other hand he wanted to finish this war immediately. So he has to do it. Then Lugwin looked at Matiu and nodded, "good uncle, I understand" he said later.
