This sparks an argument between the two factions. They are rebuked by the Royalty Faction calling out then they should sacrifice their lands to preserve peace. Understanding the king's point, the Warrior Captain apologizes for his remark.Ī few nobles from the Nobility Faction though consider Gazef's suggestion as forfeiting one city could allow them to avoid a war and that it was the king's duty to make sacrifices for the people. Sadly he cannot do as Gazef asks as no ruler would give up territory without a fight especially for the sake of the people living in that area. The king ceases the shouting firmly stating that he the Warrior Captain is his loyal retainer who had put himself in danger on his behalf countless times. But this act is seen as cowardly by the assembled nobles who mock him. He tries to suggest perhaps if they can hand over the outskirts to the Empire to avoid the war. Since Gazef is the only one to have faced Gazef, the king asks his vassal to elaborate but the Warrior Captain has no answer as it is more of an instinct telling him that the upcoming war would be extremely dangerous. The answer Gazef gives it is because of Ainz Ooal Gown. Ramposa asks Gazef to explain his reason. Gazef looking on with disdain at the behavior warns them not to expect this war to be the same as the others. Marquis Pespea takes a turn to speak, stating that the only recourse for their nation is for war, which sparks some fervor among the nobles eager to fight the Empire in battle and crush them. The king agrees with the marquis's and opens the floor for any remarks. Marquis Boullope openly declares that the Empire's new alliance with the magic caster is irrelevant and that they should instead focus on deciding a response against the emperor. Furthermore the culprits used angels to attack him, so there is no doubt that they were from the Theocracy. Gazef though stand firm on his report as his experience tells him that the knights that burned the frontier villages were not of the Empire. Count Lytton finds that Ainz's timely appearance and the lack of evidence of members of the Theocracy makes it clear that the magic caster was already an agent of the Empire and a spy from the beginning. His past actions of saving a village of the Kingdom being called into question by the count who also scorn the Warrior Captain previous theory that razing of several villages were the work the Slane Theocracy and not the Baharuth Empire. He recounts to all of how the Warrior Captain hailed the magic caster Ainz Ooal Gown as his savior, letting the irony sink in of how the roles have changed. The count leads the discussion of where the name Ainz Ooal Gown was heard, which he directs his attention to Gazef Stronoff.
Other such as Count Lytton muse that it is just another start to the Annual Wars, albeit a late one. Marquis Boullope finds the demand to be nothing more that ravings of a madman. Thus the king feels there is no actual justification to heed this request from the Empire. However Ramposa tells his vassals that there is nothing in the history of the Kingdom ever mentioning that the territory of the fortress city ever belonged to someone named Ainz Ooal Gown. The message is heard by the king and nobles present at court. If the request is not met, the Kingdom is warned that the Empire and the Sorcerer King will join together and invade to retake E-Rantel. That the land rightfully belongs to Ainz Ooal Gown and so the Empire requests the land be return to their ally. Additionally the proclamation calls out that the land compromising the city of E-Rantel to be unjustly occupied by the Re-Estize Kingdom. In that the Empire has now formed an alliance with the magic caster Ainz Ooal Gown, recognizing his organization of Nazarick as a nation. King Ramposa III assembles his vassals and retainers to discuss the latest proclamation from the Baharuth Empire.
