Rebellion (1)

While the 1st army led by his older brother Prinz was engaged in a desperate struggle in Streve, Juno’s 2nd army advanced at incredible speed and destroyed the minor lords of the County of Rdelmo.

Juno, who occupied one barony and one viscounty from the day of the invasion to the third day, attacked the Barony of Kreis on the fourth day, creating a siege around Streve.

However, unlike before, Baron Krais’ resistance was quite strong, and he even conscripted farmers around his castle and showed thorough resistance.

However, they could not hold out for long against Juno’s 10,000-strong army, and when the castle walls fell and the gates were broken by battering rams, Baron Crais raised a white flag.

“Your Majesty! Baron Kreis has arrived”

“I understand. Don’t go out”

About an hour after Yuno accepted the surrender, a messenger arrived with the news that the enemy lord had reached the front of the camp.

As Yuno left the barracks and went forward while being inspected by the soldiers, he saw Baron Kreis kneeling in front of the castle gate, three women and a child who appeared to be his family.

“Baron Kreis? You are surrendering. But… what exactly is it like to reject the initial surrender offer and then surrender after the gates are breached?”

“Kuhuh… Your Majesty doesn’t know either. We, the lords of Tesseito, have a duty to resist for at least a week when our country is attacked by the enemy!”

Because what he said was true, Yuno nodded. However, as several of the legionnaires were killed while suppressing the castle, the soldiers were hoping for revenge, and some legionnaires were waiting for permission to loot after the siege.

Since Juno was not unaware of the feelings of such legionnaires, he pondered what to do with the enemy lord.

The two previously occupied fiefdoms surrendered immediately after seeing the difference in troops, thus preserving their property and lives, but in such cases, it was common to execute the lords and allow the soldiers to plunder and rape.

“Hehehe Your Majesty~ The young bitch on the left looks quite edgy. What do you think? Instead, if you hand over the two old bitches on the right to us, we will eat them among ourselves…hahaha”

Jake, the second son of the Earl of Hazelmere, whom Yuno holds as his deputy, has also openly revealed his lustful desires, offering a woman who appears to be the lord’s daughter to Yuno and offering to take over for himself the woman who appears to be the lord’s wife and the woman who appears to be his concubine. .

As Yuno pondered for a moment, the sight of Lady Chrys trembling in fear caught her eye. With that, Yuno made a decision and called Jake.

“Jake! First, let’s go to the manor’s mansion. Bring only the five most trustworthy members of my bodyguard. Baron Kreis! Take the lead with your family”

“Hahaha As expected, Your Majesty is wise. We have to take care of the important things before the soldiers touch them first. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be obvious that lowly soldiers would pick their back pockets”

Although he didn’t really intend to do so, Jake followed Yuno to Baron Kreis’ mansion while playing drums and janggu alone.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Baron Krais looked at Yuno with an expression of curiosity as to what on earth Yuno was thinking of bringing him here.

“Phew~ Baron! Honestly, I don’t want to kill the Baron. Your sense of duty to your country deserves respect… but rules are rules! I must execute you and your servants, and permit the soldiers to plunder”

“…I know…but…my family…”

“So! Let me make a suggestion. 2 hours later. Please show me how you commit suicide in front of our legionnaires. And of course there will be hidden property… If you hand it over, we will appease the soldiers by distributing it to them and prevent looting. And we guarantee the safety of your family”

“…. Really?”

“It would be easiest to just execute the baron and allow the plunder, but why would I do this? It’s not good to loose military discipline in exchange for plunder… and… no. What would you do anyway?”

“Phew… I will accept His Royal Highness’s offer. The method of suicide…?”

“Poisoning has no effect, so please proceed with committing suicide by stabbing the person in the neck with a dagger”

“Thank you. I ask for the safety of my family members”

“Don’t worry. I will guarantee it with my honor”

Thanks to Juno’s consideration, Baron Kreis was able to take a moment to share his thoughts with his family. In the process, his wife fainted and his children cried, but Juno thought it was the best choice, and Baron Kreis also comforted his family, saying that Juno’s offer was the most generous one.

An hour later. With all the legionnaires except the guards gathered, Baron Kreis climbed up on the platform and arrogantly shouted about his foolishness in opposing the Balkans and committed suicide by stabbing himself in the neck with a dagger. The gold and silver treasures he had hidden were distributed equally to the soldiers. And it made them somewhat satisfied.

However, in the process, there were people whose dissatisfaction had built up and exploded; those were the children of the nobles that Yuno had demoted.

They gathered in the barracks, drank together, and poured out their complaints about Yuno.

“No! Does this make sense? Showing mercy to the lord of an enemy country who tried to resist until the end!!”

“Actually, isn’t His Highness the Third Prince a spy for Tesseito? Weren’t you injured when Tesseito attacked the villa? because? If you kill a spy, it’s Tesseito who loses!”

“Huh~ That seems plausible! Then we, Balkan patriots, cannot remain silent”

“Do you have a clever idea?”

Their comments slowly crossed the line, but as they were drunk and steeped in bad feelings toward Yuno, their comments became increasingly harsh.

“Shouldn’t we lead this 10th Corps instead of His Highness the Prince? His Highness the Third Prince is imprisoned in prison, and later, when his guilt is revealed, he is to be executed on display after informing His Highness the Crown Prince of the crime”

“Of course that’s the way it should be… How can you subdue His Highness, the Master?”

“Hehehe, there is a way. This is a sleeping pill that I give to girls… Just one drop of this will make them fall asleep immediately and they won’t be able to move for a day. There are about five drops left, but if I mix them all in alcohol and give them to you, your Majesty will fall asleep immediately”

“Well…then what?”

“And then the family of Baron Kreis, who tied up and hid His Highness and saved His Highness from the soldiers, betrayed His Highness and murdered His Highness Juno, so we lead the troops, saying that we have punished them”

“Hehehe, of course before that…”

“Yes. Before that, I’ll have to get a taste of those bitches’ underbelly. Hahahaha Yuno. Instead of that guy, I think Jake can take charge as the corps commander.”

The noble sons, who had now stopped treating Yuno as a prince, decided to nominate Jake, the son of the highest-ranking noble among them, as the commander of the corps.

Jake was not happy with Yuno’s way of doing things because he deeply wanted Baron Kreis’s concubine. Moreover, when he imagined himself becoming a corps commander and commanding his troops, his excitement from alcohol did not subside, and he ended up sympathizing with them.

“Good… Yuno I’ll let him drink alcohol mixed with sleeping pills. But just in case, we should keep Yuno alive. Don’t you know that His Highness the Crown Prince cherishes Yuno? Until we create perfect evidence that even His Majesty the Crown Prince can understand…”

“But what if Yuno wakes up in the middle of the night? If the Master goes on a rampage, isn’t there anyone who can stop it?”

A nobleman in charge of prisoner management suggested a solution to the problem.

“You may be wondering if there are mana suppression handcuffs for master-level prisoners in the prisoner carriage. I’ll get it. Well then… Jake, please. Instead, Jake will take the first choice among the three captive girls”

“Good! Then let’s start right now”

It was a really poor plan, but their eyes, drunk with alcohol and lust, had already rolled back. In particular, Jake already felt his genitals burning at the thought of tasting the lower part of Baron Kreis’s concubine. And when I got the mana suppression handcuffs, I mixed the sleeping pills I was given with alcohol and headed to Yuno’s barracks.

“Your Majesty the Prince, please excuse me for a moment”

“Hmm? Jake? Is there a problem? During this night?”

“Haha Your Majesty is so awake, how can I sleep? I brought you a glass of delicious brandy for your Majesty. Have a drink and sleep”

“Hahaha, I am grateful, but… don’t you know that I don’t enjoy drinking? I will only accept your heart”

“Your Majesty… Aren’t you having trouble sleeping these days? In that case, one way is to force yourself to sleep with a glass of strong alcohol. If the corps commander’s judgment is clouded due to lack of sleep, it means that the corps is in danger”

Yuno thought what Jake said was plausible. Yuno was not very happy when he heard that his older brother, Prinz, was having a hard time in Streve, and because of that, he had trouble sleeping and sometimes felt drowsy during the day.

“Hmm… good. Then I will drink it gratefully. Jake”

As Yuno took a sip of the drink Jake gave him, he felt drowsy in an instant. Thinking that it was definitely effective, Yuno forced her body to lie down on the bed and instantly fell asleep.
