“It’s a bit shabby, but would you like to come and talk?”

Louise smiled and gestured.

The nobles stood in an awkward posture and loitered around the entrance.

To describe the king’s noble audience chamber as a shabby place…

Still, the aristocrats looked visibly uncomfortable.

Louise, who had been quietly watching the scene, clicked her tongue.

“…Hurry up and run”

An unbelievable killing intent was emanating from a young girl.

Only then did the nobles rush over and sit in a row in front of her.

“Looking at it this way, everyone is happy”

Louise clapped her hands.

A clear and refreshing sound lingered in the empty audience room.

The audience room was so quiet that the sound of spit being swallowed was particularly loud.

“You can step back for now. Don’t forget to write the story neatly”

“Yes, I will do that”

The photographer bowed his head as if it was almost touching the ground and then stepped back.

After that, Justia’s knight brought some tea.

Knight Gallon put down the tray containing the tea.

“…gasp!”

“Cheep!”

The nobles who received the teacups held their breath and opened their eyes wide.

The cup contained fragrant black tea, and next to it lay the fingers of an unknown person, along with a fork.

“I hope you like the snacks”

The nobles bowed their heads one by one at that eerie smile.

No one could drink tea first.

“…hmm”

Then Louise let out a long sigh.

My body felt heavy as if a huge rock had landed with a thud.

A moment when even moving your eyelids is burdensome.

Ironically, the act of lifting a teacup was as light as lifting a feather.

Oh, hororok-

“…above, William”

“Okay, you…”

The first to drink tea was Earl William.

The other nobles looked at each other and observed each other.

Horok- Horok- Horurup-

But the beginning is difficult.

William started first, and after that, everyone drank tea without exception.

Louise smiled contentedly at the sight of her gulping down the hot tea.

Of course, not everyone drank tea.

One of them held his head up high, even under the pressure of Louise’s momentum.

“You don’t drink?”

Louise asked, “What was your name?”

Gran… I think it was something like that, but I can’t remember the name very well because it wasn’t anything special.

Anyway, the insignificant nobleman in Louise’s memories answered her question.

He snorted and spat into his teacup.

“…”

The expression disappeared from Louise’s face.

The Grand Merciful nobleman met her eyes with a grin.

He seemed to enjoy Louise’s delicious reaction.

“Is this behavior…am I understanding it correctly?”

“Yes. You whore. How dare you mock the royal family with such a wicked mouth”

◦ Haha … I want to die?

Kugu palace- Kugu-

The whole castle shook and shook.

Louise’s will to live has become even stronger.

Those led by William trembled and lowered their bodies.

But only that man was smiling, even though blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

“What’s the point of splitting something when you’re dying?”

“Kekeke, what do you know? How could I not be happy, going to the goddess’ side according to my beliefs?”

“What was your name?”

“Are you curious about my name now?”

The man groaned and vomited a handful of blood into the teacup.

And then he smiled, revealing his bloody teeth.

“Granbelt. One of the brave and proud wolves who follows Lord Estia, the master of the East”

“…Count Estia’s Change…”

Louise bit her lip at the sudden familiar name.

Granbelts was a wolf knight from the Eastern Territory who was influenced by Estia and followed her.

By the way, there has been no response from Count Estia yet.

There’s no way that a loving husband would let his beloved wife die.

Louise raised the corners of her mouth as she thought about it that far.

“You’re a dog with an owner? But what should we do? Your owner will soon hand us the leash”

“Kuhaha, is that what you see?”

Granbelts laughed heartily.

Every time he provoked Louise, the air in the castle became unbearably heavy.

Soon, Granbelt’s half body collapsed and fell to the floor.

He was standing with only his upper body upright, his body completely crushed below his knees.

Are you crazy, really?

Louise felt madness at Granbelt’s determined attitude.

“You filthy whore. You can’t take anything from us. No matter what you do with your tongue,

The glory of the splendid light will never fade. Our glory and the brave wolf, the waves like the north wind will judge you”

“Sorry, I can’t listen to this anymore because it’s so annoying”

Was it because those words strangely grated on my nerves?

Louise pointed her hand and drew a horizontal line.

Crunch-

Something round flew into the sky with an eerie sound.

William, who was right next to Granbelt, rolled his head to figure out the situation.

Then suddenly, something flying into the sky landed in front of William.

“…Ugh, euaaaah!”

The head of Granbelts was smiling brightly. Then, a refreshing fountain of blood spurted out, wetting William and the other counts.

Blood dripped down onto the teacup and filled the red tea.

“Ugh, sorry, I need to calm down a bit, okay?”

Louise wiped the blood off with a handkerchief, crumpled it, and handed it to Hagen.

Hagen timidly took Louise’s handkerchief, folded it carefully, and put it in his bosom.

“…Prince”

The nobles groaned in pity, but they did not have the courage to confront Louise.

“There was a little commotion. But I think it was a good example”

And then the knight Gallon came in again and handed over some document.

“…What is this?”

“You promised, right? If we need help, you’ll help us”

I don’t remember making any such promise. I just remember coming and killing them all, and being threatened.

At the very top of the paper, the sentence [Statement] caught my eye.

The nobles shut their eyes tightly with a look of desperation on their faces as if to say, “It was bound to happen.”

“The Asrian Kingdom boasts a long history. The Asrians boast of glory and bravery, but

Suddenly, the king and prince suffer the misfortune of being killed by an evil demon tribe, an invader who arrives at the castle.

The country that lost its pillars is staggering, but fortunately, the righteous knight Justia drives out the demons.

The wise and thoughtful prince Hagen inherits the kingdom.

The kingdom of Grihaya will once again unite around its rightful successor. ”

Louise, who had finished speaking at length, looked at the audience.

“What do you think? Is the scenario okay?”

In fact, the script Louise hastily put together was, strictly speaking, based on facts.

The glorious Knights of Gloria failed to fulfill their role, and Belcreed became half-demon.

It is true that the king and the prince died at the hands of the demons.

Louise of Justia made Belcred retreat by plotting with her.

Anyway, isn’t it true that we drove out the demons?

Of course, none of the nobles truly believed that.

In the first place, is there any truth to those words?

Louise hit the table twice and held out the [statement].

“Please, in front of the rightful successor, I hope you make a wise choice”

Just like before, while others were hesitating,

William was the first to sign.

“Up, William Jane…”

“Are you really going to do this?”

The sighs of his fellow nobles were heard, but William turned a blind eye to their voices.

“There’s nothing I can do. What can I do? Who, who can stand against me?”

Yes, they are not knights or wizards. They are not people who can fight. They are not people who fight.

They were just born to good parents and were nobles. They were cared for and raised in their own estates all their lives.

I didn’t have the confidence to stand up to Louise.

Eventually, the nobles present signed their names on the statement one by one.

A satisfied smile appeared on Louise’s lips.

Hagen also had a rare smile on his face.

Whatever the reason, he felt very good that the nobles supported him.

“All received. Captain”

Gallon checked the signature and handed it to Louise.

There were still a lot of blank spaces, but it was still a pretty good harvest.

“Well, let’s stop here for today. There will be visitors tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, probably from the west and north too”

“…Hmm, is there any news from the east?”

“…Yes, even if you send a messenger, they will immediately reject you, so contact itself is being rejected”

“…Without a care. Are you really going to leave your wife to die?”

As someone who was nicknamed the Battlefield Singer, Louise was well aware of the power that an individual could possess.

In these chaotic times, there is no benefit to sticking together like this.

The important thing was the charisma to lead the group from the front. A leader with both courage and wisdom was needed.

And Louise thought that the leader who would support her was Count Estia.

“How do I get it to fall over…”

As Louise licked her lips in regret, Galen opened his mouth.

“Oh right, sir. We received a request for a special interview”

“Special visitation? Is that the person coming tomorrow?”

“No. This is a personal interview request”

“…Really? Who are you”

This meant that if he was not a nobleman who had decided to visit, he would meet Louise on his own.

Louise’s eyes narrowed.

“I don’t recommend it”

“Why? Is there a reason?”

“…A person as dangerous as Count Estia”

Who the hell are you to compare me to that monster kid?

Louise listened with interest.

Gallon trailed off, sounding a little uneasy.

“That, that… Count Carlos Azurna”

“…Ajurna? Where have I heard of it”

“Yes, he is the man called the Blue Devil”

Carlos Ajurana. His real name is Blue Demon.

One of the core members of the Blue Tower, and known as the pinnacle of blue magic.

A pillar supporting the East along with the Estia Change Count.

A prestigious magical family that produces talented magicians and contributes greatly to the kingdom.

Another special feature is

He was the father of the warrior Circe Azurna.

“When did you say you would come see me?”

“…Tomorrow night”

“Oh, I can see inside. Okay, I’ll wear some pretty underwear”

Gallon’s eyes flickered uneasily.
