"If Viscount Middendaksi is willing to join hands with me, then we will naturally be comrades fighting side by side.
But if he thinks he can take advantage of the opportunity, he plans to cause trouble for me secretly.
Your Excellency, Legion Commander, this should be enough reason for me to execute him. " Bank had also heard that Lorne liked to execute nobles.
In fact, he had received requests for help from many lords.
But his mission is only to protect the grassland border, and Lorne's crimes should be judged by the new Grand Duke of the North.
For example, after Anna kills Lorne, Miss Hubbs can be considered the real Grand Duke of the North.
This is a very simple truth, and Bank doesn't think Lorne doesn't understand it.
"It turns out that the Baron has already prepared, so I don't need to talk nonsense.
As I get older, talking in circles is a laborious task for me.
Many times, I actually like to use the simplest way to deal with troubles.
For example, regarding the issue of Middendaxi, I still don't understand why you abandoned the simple way and went to the grassland. " Although Lorne just said that there was a possibility of peaceful coexistence with Miden, Bank really didn't think Miden would let go of this opportunity by deliberately exposing his weakness to Miden.
In this case, wouldn't it be better to call Anna over and lend him his hand to deal with Miden?
Or, Lorne is worried that something will happen to Anna that he cannot accept after she is out of his control.
After all, being a member of the Hubbs family, if Lorne imprisoned Anna.
Bank will definitely not let him go.
If he doesn't answer well, even if Lorn returns victorious in the end, what awaits Lorn will be the butcher's knife of the legion commander.
But on his face, Bank really looked like an old man who needed answers.
Without Sophia explaining it to him in advance, Lorne might have thought that Commander Bank was a harmless old soldier who only knew how to protect the border.
As for Bank's problem, the bishop has already given Lorne advice in advance.
Having pretended so far, Sophia simply let Lorne continue his image of a fearless straight man.
"Your Excellency, the Legion Commander, likes simple methods, and I also hope to use the simplest method to solve the problem.
We northerners also like to use the simplest method to solve the troubles at hand, but if it will hurt the woman I care about, then Things are different.
I will not let Anna come to the stage until the orc attack is over.
In other words, I won't let her stand up to others' attacks until the troubles that may harm Anna are resolved. " It sounds a bit like she is thinking about Anna.
Girls under the age of twenty do need some proper protection.
But this does not prove that Lorne is harmless.
He has learned a little bit about Lorne's character from Edgar.
Bank is certain that if Lorne is left behind, he will definitely use Anna's identity to take the North into his own hands in the future.
However, there are not no solutions.
According to Lorne's situation, Bank has already discussed with his team a way to deal with it.
If Lorne is too strong and doesn't take the Habs family seriously, then it must be Bank's unshirkable obligation to get rid of Baron Fast.
But if Baron Fast's soldiers are not as cruel as the outside world reports, it may be more useful to keep Lorne temporarily.
And the most important thing is that Bank has confirmed that Anna is pregnant with Lorne's child.
If the operation goes smoothly, he can use that child to return the Fast family's land to the Habsburg family in the future.
But the fact is that Bank and the others are too complicated in their thinking, and there is no need to rely on Anna and Lorne's illegitimate child.
Lorne, who wanted to marry into the Habsburg family and had no sense of family at all, didn't care whether the Fast family would disappear because of his decision.
"After the orc invasion is resolved, I plan to propose to Anna.
Then I will also ask the legion commander to be a witness.
I will use the orc's head as a proposal gift."
Lorne's last words finally made Bank put away his relaxed expression.
In order to find out whether Lorne understood the current situation, he asked: "Baron, are you kidding?
If nothing else, Anna, as my brother's daughter, She will most likely inherit the responsibility of the Grand Duke of the North.
Master of the North, you should know very well what it means for you to propose to her. " The huge gap in status makes this marriage extremely unequal.
As the weaker party, Lorne would be more accurate to use the word "marriage" instead of marrying Anna.
If Lorne was just a member of the Fast family, then things would be relatively simple.

With the current situation in the North and the Empire, Anna marrying a member of a small family would help stabilize the chaos in the North.
After Anna gave birth to Lorne's illegitimate son, Bank was indeed planning to find a second son from a small family to marry Anna to eliminate the unwanted thoughts of those big nobles.
But Lorne, as the patriarch of the Fast family, it was impossible for the Fast family to find another baron.
If he marries the Habs family, wouldn't it mean that the entire Fast family is directly merged into the Habs family?
I can't imagine that Lorne has any intention of swallowing the elephant.
It's no wonder that Bank, who judged normally, misunderstood that Lorne was ready to give up the Fast family in exchange for the pinnacle of personal power.
After getting a positive answer from Lorne and even taking the initiative to promise to reorganize the army in the future, even Bank was already moved.
The Habsburg family suffered heavy losses in this turmoil in the empire.
Although it would not damage the foundation of their rule in the north, the losses could not be replenished at once.
If the famous Fast family is injected as new blood, even if more soldiers are lost during the orc invasion this time, it will not have any impact on the combat effectiveness of the Habs family.
It is not impossible to even move south again.
Lorne just said that he would reorganize the army because of the chaos in the empire.
Bank is also a member of the Habs family, and he is also eager to go south to avenge his shame.
Sophia caught the legion commander's mind and gave him the right medicine, which finally made Bank relax.
"When His Excellency the Baron comes back with victory and we successfully repel the orcs, I am willing to help you bear witness.
But the final result depends on Anna's wishes."
This is actually a disguised consent.
If Bank doesn't stop it, how can Anna, who is already about to give birth to Lorne's child, allow her child to become a despised illegitimate child.
Even if Lorne doesn't mention this matter, Anna will put it on her schedule after the child is born.
Proposal is just a process that everyone is well aware of, and the victory over the orcs is also a fact that no one will doubt.
However, the scale of the orc attack this time completely exceeded Lorne's expectations.
Even though Bank's scouts had made a quite bold estimate, the situation was still very serious
