chapter 77
“Your Excellency, the preparations are complete.”
” …Good work. “
Under the rising moon and the starry sky, in a huge boat reflected on the water surface, two strong men were talking to each other facing each other.
In the hands of Prime Minister Levante, who let out a deep sigh with an expression that looked much older than before, the sword he had spent half of his life with was with him.
A modest but old sword, but the sharpness did not disappear at all.
This sword, which had the power to easily cut through one strong adult male even with a small amount of force, was the famous sword that Prime Minister Levante used throughout his life.
“Is this what it feels like to destroy the castle you built yourself?”
Levante, touching her beard and clenching her sword.
Seeing that, the lieutenant gave a worried expression, but it was clear that no words of consolation would work for him.
The lieutenant just moved his mouth.
“You have no face to see your Majesty the King. I thought there would be no obstacles on the way.”
“I did not know that such a scheme would be extracted from the Espera estate.”
“That’s the most questionable thing, the helpless bastards suddenly counterattack.”
quiet anger.
Prime Minister Levante is cold and cold.
That is why his anger burns from the depths of his heart and reaches full bloom through his brain.
And that anger is the best fuel to keep your brain running.
Such a personality and temper may have made him the Iron-Blood Minister.
“Someone came out of the Empire, or the sultan’s henchman, the goddamn supremacist, devised a scheming, or…”
In an instant, the assumption of what-if came to the mind of Prime Minister Levante.
Now, Montegro Academy is running towards vacation, that is, it is similar to the story that the final exams are ahead.
And it was said that Montegro Academy has a unique test, if a student at the academy devised a ploy that made him move this far…?
creepy.
In an instant, a chilling chill rises up through the body of Prime Minister Levante.
If such a monster advances into the center of the empire, it was clear that it would become a major obstacle to the Kingdom of Spesia in the future.
“The lieutenant.”
” Yes. “
“Right now, send someone to Espera’s estate to check who’s attached to the lord.”
” …Are you sure you mean?”
“The head of the lord of Espera is attached to it, and if I leave it as it is, it must be a big boon to the plan. Find out who it is, and if you can kill it, kill it.”
“I will do as you command.”
A lieutenant who bows his head to carry out the Prime Minister’s orders.
The Prime Minister carefully watched the lieutenant’s back and sat down.
Although his legs were numb due to the weight of the armor, the prime minister had no energy to roll his taut head.
‘ …if the prediction is correct…? ‘
Would it be the right choice to remove such dangerous molecules as soon as possible?
The Kingdom of Spesha, which will rule the continent brilliantly in the future, is a cornerstone for laying the red carpet.
Even for the sake of His Majesty the King, the Empire must be overcome.
The night deepens
Jaesang shook his head and began to think all day long.
*******
“It’s pretty good.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean Rommel.”
Hergé and Rosé are chatting in the room the lord Espera has prepared for them.
He was in a relaxed state while drinking Espera’s special wine in the room.
The topic of their conversation was, of course, Rommel.
As soon as he came to Espera’s estate, the Count not only roasted it, but also gained his trust.
“It’s great.”
“Is that right? Because I’m good at seeing people.”
Hersé pointed at her twinkling eyes with her fingers and made a squeaky sound.
She had the image of a cold and cold-hearted princess, but when she was with Rosé, she looked like an ordinary girl.
I had no one to share my heart with, so I just closed the door of my heart.
Hergé was also a girl of that age.
“He is an essential talent for the princess’s cause.”
“Okay then. I haven’t seen a person who can roll their heads as well as this in a long time.”
” ..It’s been a long time?”
“Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of people like Rommel. For example, the Prime Minister of Levante of the Spesia Kingdom.”
When she was young, the princess faced the Prime Minister of Levante head-on.
When I was a child, when the Kingdom of Spezia visited the Empire.
In order to receive foreign greetings, the young princess wore a dress that was carefully crafted and went to greet the delegation.
And what came into Herje’s field of vision was the cold and cold eyes of Prime Minister Levante.
The eyes were clear on the shore of the lake, but the deep sea was different.
Bubbling anger and despair.
His sense of inferiority towards the empire was reflected in the eyes of the princess.
What is anger for? That’s what Hergé thought, but now that I think about it, it was the rage itself against the Empire.
Only when the empire disappears will the kingdom of Spesia rise, a simple dichotomous theory.
The prime minister was crazy about the theory.
” ..what happened.”
But it is only a memory of a time.
The fragile memories of the past were embedded somewhere.
Even if Prime Minister Levante had been watching in front of him, Hergé would not have lost his dignity.
“It’s strange, that a freshman who hasn’t graduated from the academy yet is penetrating the world.”
” ..sometimes such people appear, so-called geniuses.”
There are many talented people in the world.
Even so, geniuses are rare.
If talented people can take responsibility for 100 jobs, a genius can save a country.
That’s why the monarchs of many countries are working behind the scenes to recruit geniuses.
Just by looking at the second prince, I could see how much the world needs geniuses now.
“Expensive jewelry needs to be maintained and maintained to shine even more.”
I will never lose it.
A small, precious, and pretty jewel that came in after a long time.
That jewel will illuminate the world in the future and shine brightly for its master.
How to improve your dignity so as not to be taken into the hands of others.
Don’t listen to the sound of a pig’s neck pearl necklace.
“Now, let’s go back to the academy.”
“Are you already… dying?”
“Yeah, my goddamn second brother will be free soon.”
A power struggle between the 1st and 2nd princes that occurred recently.
The second prince was the victor in a small quarrel within the empire.
To be precise, it was a battle between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Ruth Empire.
The Empire produced artifacts necessary for war in large quantities thanks to its excellent wizards, and requests came in from the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Ruth Empire at the same time.
It was a omen to prepare for the upcoming war.
In the process, the 1st Prince said that he would support the Ruth Empire and the 2nd Prince offered support to the Ottoman Empire, which eventually escalated into a political battle.
It was not very good to see the princes fighting for power within the empire with other countries on their backs.
In the end, the emperor of the empire was also a matter to be seriously considered.
It was close to impossible to meet the quantity prepared for both countries on time, so the emperor fell into deep trouble, and as a result of pondering for several days.
The emperor sided with the Ottoman Empire.
He may have noticed the relationship between the Holy Ruth Empire and the Kingdom of Spesia, but in the end, the Emperor gave the Ottoman Empire’s hand.
Of course, in order to keep the eyes of the Rus Empire out of sight, the route was shifted to artifacts for living and architecture, not war artifacts, but in the end, the winner of this battle was the second prince.
” not good. “
If he had been the stupid first prince, he would have been a little relieved.
But the clever second prince won the political battle.
Of course, the magicians who create artifacts could be put in check of the tower, but the second prince blocked the check in the tower in advance by placing his knights.
As a result, the 1st Prince stepped down for a while, and the 2nd Prince was able to walk around with his shoulders open.
“We must not lose the initiative again, and we have confirmed that Rommel is good, so it is safe to go back.”
” ..ah. “
Rosé had a sad expression on her face.
Of course, because it was in front of the royal princess, she didn’t show any harsh marks, but the change in her expression was inevitable due to the fluctuations in her emotions.
” …. “
And Erje noticed the change in Rosé’s expression at once.
With a smile on her face, Hergé said to Rosé.
“Do you regret breaking up with Rommel early?”
“That’s not it…!”
“What is it, is it written like that on your face?”
“Princess…!”
Hersé had already noticed Rosé’s feelings for Rommel.
Rosé’s unusual breathing and posture, and Rosé’s attitude of being respectful only in front of Rommel, looked like a girl in love.
‘Shall we play a little? ‘
Perhaps Rosé’s lingering appearance was very cute, so Hergé decided to play a small prank on Rommel.
“This time Count Espera said that he would betroth his daughter Louis to Rommel.”
“What… what did you say?”
“Political solidarity, where is our Rommel good?”
“Ah… no… uh…”
Hergé watches with interest Rosé as she rolls her feet.
Herje looked at her with a pathetic expression that could not be helped.
As if asking for a little more time.
” ..I can’t help it.”
Is it because of Rosé’s earnest eyes?
Erje let out a small sigh and spread her fingers toward Rosé.
A girl in love, and besides, that girl is her knight.
Of course, I didn’t want to see Rosé in sorrow.
“Three days, just three days. In three days we will leave Espera.”
“Princess..”
“Good luck during that time!”
Hersé winks at Rosé cutely.
It was enough for Rosé to feel deeply moved by Herje’s consideration.
” Thank you thank you…! “
Rosé felt moved that her master had taken care of her and bowed her head.
“It’s okay with friends! Raise your head!”
Hergé blushed as if embarrassed, and tried to dissuade Rosé.
