Became a Strategist with a 100 Intelligence and 100% Accuracy

Yuri tilted her head in confusion at my words.

“Swen, you’re saying you’ll go?”

“Yes.”

“Why? I mean, I don’t mind, but… do you have a reason?”

A reason.
I couldn’t exactly say, Because something in my head is screaming for me to intervene, and I’m too curious about what’s going on to ignore it.
Just as I was trying to come up with a suitable response—

An unexpected person came to my aid.

“Let Swen do as he wishes, my lord.”

“Jinor?”

“He is skilled in rhetoric and particularly adept at persuading his opponents to meet his demands. From what I’ve heard, he has successfully concluded several significant negotiations in the past. Considering that the opponent is none other than the sly Serpina, there is little risk in sending him.”

“Really? That’s the first time I’ve heard that.”

I maintained a neutral expression, keeping my head slightly bowed to mask any reaction.
Jinor’s statement, to put it bluntly, was completely made up on the spot.

I had engaged in negotiations a few times before. The results I had achieved while serving in Luna’s army were decent, one could say.@@novelbin@@

But—I had never once told him about what I’d done.

In other words, he was just throwing out a convenient excuse to support me.

Even if it was just a hasty cover, the fact that he held the position of National Strategist and had the Imperial Chancellor title in his past made his words sound extremely convincing.

“Hmm… If Jinor says so, then fine. Lutz, Swen will handle this instead, so just focus on completing your assigned task. That’s fine with you, right?”

“…There’s no need to ask. I’ll follow orders.”

Lutz answered, though he looked slightly disappointed.
Was he upset that he missed an opportunity to make a name for himself?
His gaze wasn’t exactly warm, but I let it slide.
