“Why would two difficult people join hands? Tsk!”

Commander Thalia, who had been stubborn and did not obey those in power, at some point became attached to Princess Mona.

I don’t understand when it happened

“I think they may have had a relationship for a very long time. “They must have formed a secret friendship with the upper part in the middle.”

“Princess Mona has a somewhat sinister side. I thought he wasn’t Commander Thalia, but thinking about his relationship with the princess gives me the creeps. This is why you can’t know people just by looking at them.”

On the outside, he pretended to hate being connected to those in power, but behind the scenes, wasn’t he lining up with Princess Mona, the closest heir?

It was natural for the nobles to be appalled.

“I thought at least Princess Mona started to move after graduating from the academy. However, I was very impressed by the bold move they made as soon as the final year began.”

Commander Thalia, who achieved the incredible feat of destroying the hatchery, and Princess Mona, who naturally took the lead after Prince I was overthrown.

The fact that those two people are on the same side means that the trend is completely tilted towards Princess Mona.

“Isn’t this enough as long as we get His Majesty’s permission?”

Even the emperor would not be able to ignore the contributions made by Princess Mona.

“I guess it’s just a matter of time.”

“Ugh… .”

“… … .”

Clearly, discomfort appeared on the faces of the nobles who had said they would be kind to the princess and the commander just a moment ago.

“Actually, aren’t there many nobles who don’t like Princess Mona?”

“Hmm, don’t you have a very strong personality?”

“It will be a hassle when you become emperor. How much will you polish the nobles?”

If the princess becomes emperor, at least the nobles currently in this position will be removed from power.

Whether it was Princess Mona or Commander Thalia, it was already too late to stand by.

“I never thought Prince I would fall from power so vainly.”

“This wasn’t supposed to happen like this.”

“Haha, what are you going to do now? “It has already happened.”

Since two people who were not friendly to nobles got together and were doing well, the nobles couldn’t help but feel bitter.

“Wouldn’t it be better to push for a new person?”

“Is there anyone useful?”

“I have to look for it. “There are many members of the royal family.”

“Aren’t you just wasting a lot of money for no reason? “Did you know that the royal family is taking money from nobles these days?”

“… … .”

I knew that the royal family had secretly invested in the punitive force, but I did not know that they had invested to the point that they were struggling because they did not have money to spend right away.

The royal family, who were short of money, openly asked for bribes from nobles they encountered.

In the meantime, what would happen if you heard that they would push you to be the next successor?

It was obvious that they would become so powerful that they would use the family warehouse as their own.

“What will happen to the empire?” .”

The nobles’ worries were deepening.

They didn’t know that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.

The person who had entered the contents of the nobles’ conversation into his head walked away without warning.

* * *

bang!!!

“How dare you say something like that? I am alive and well with both eyes open!! “I’m going to kill them all!”

I feel angry.

Even if I broke things around me, my anger did not go away.

Clink! bang! Kwaang!!!

“Huh! “Huh!”

I vented my anger to the point where my breathing became heavy, and when I came to my senses, I found the courtiers bleeding and shaking.

It looks like he was hit by the objects he threw.

I was irritated by the pitiful sight of them bowing their heads to the floor.

I wanted to tell everyone to turn it off, but I had to endure it because I had something to do.

“… “Your Majesty the Prince.”

“Why are you moving so slowly! Can I go now?”

I applied for a meeting with His Majesty to ask for his help in resolving this matter.

I didn’t like the emperor, who was all about having fun all day and was picky about receiving interviews, but now was the time to bow down.

“So, I’m sorry. “Your Majesty has denied your request for a meeting!”

“… what?”

I was dazed by the unbelievable news.

The nobles who had been coming and going all day suddenly stopped going.

In a situation where I am enduring such humiliation, my request for a meeting is now being rejected.

Yes, it is a pity that the punitive force that was expected to succeed failed.

However, I don’t understand how just one failure can be so fatal.

“Why did you fail at that one thing!!!”

Isn’t failure something that can be covered up?

All you have to do is deal with those who keep causing problems and erase them from people’s minds.

If it’s buried in people’s memories, wouldn’t it be like it never happened?

It was so unfair because I had done nothing wrong to deserve this kind of humiliation.

‘I guess I drew a line because I didn’t want to get involved in complicated matters. shit! I have no choice but to sort it out myself. To do that, we have to first get rid of those people protesting in front of the imperial palace.’

Nobles are protesting in front of the imperial palace, saying nonsense that the imperial palace should take care of the damage caused by the failed investment in the punitive force.

We have to deal with those guys first so that talk of punitive forces does not come out of people’s mouths.

“I have to kill them.”

“yes?”

He summoned the palace servant he used to secretly convey orders.

He then gave orders to deal with the nobles protesting in front of the imperial palace.

“Aren’t they nobles who supported the prince? Are you planning to throw it all away?”

“They are useless anyway. What can you do with the support of these pathetic people who are being chased by debt collectors? “How long can I handle it?”

“that… .”

Unlike before, answers do not come quickly.

My anger soared as I wondered if I was now being ignored by the courtiers.

bang!!

“If you tell me to do it, I will do it, why do I have so much to say!! “Don’t hesitate and move now!”

“So, I’m sorry!! “But there is no one to whom I can entrust the work.”

“What are you talking about? You can just order it from the guy who has entrusted the work to you so far… .”

The words became blurred and I couldn’t finish them.

Among the nobles who stopped visiting, there were those who openly took on tasks that could not be done in their own name.

Bullying someone you don’t like, or killing someone.

A place where troublesome tasks were entrusted.

“… “Is it ruined there?”

“Yes. He said he was running away from his debtors, but he was caught running away at night and was robbed, and he had to pay the rest back… .”

“under.”

I closed my eyes tightly.

It becomes dark before my eyes.

Nothing happens.

※ ※ ※

A sweet reward was paid to the front lines who returned after destroying the hatchery.

“Commander Thalia’s ability to prevent monster attacks on the front lines is being reexamined. “They’re deliberately sending Thalia up in order to somehow bury the failure of the subjugation team.”

There is no need to mention the failure of the punitive force.

Instead, Thalia’s successful conquest of the hatchery is inflated as much as possible to dazzle people’s attention.

“It looks like Prince Il is struggling to survive somehow.”

Is it just a matter of one or two days for politicians to use the media to cover up problems?

“And the nobles who were protesting in the imperial castle disappeared.”

“The most notable and troublesome people are gone.”

If you think about the people who benefit from their disappearance, the culprit is obvious.

“If you want to keep it out of sight and not talk about it, it’s best if no one raises the issue.”

If we wait a little longer, won’t we get the news that he committed suicide?

“That won’t make the failure of the punitive force go away.”

Prince I had hoped for the impossible and had done something pointless, thus killing himself.

Once Princess Mona begins to form a punitive force, Prince Il’s failures will continue to be on people’s lips.

“Tackling the nobles forcibly will actually end up strangling the Prince.”

“Because nobles are not fools.”

There is no noble, not even a commoner, who would not know that Prince I used a harsh method to silence him.

“If he kills the nobles who followed him, no one will support Prince Il. “Prince Il is no longer someone to worry about.”

“So in the end, Princess Mona is against it?”

“huh.”

Recruiting academy students to join the punitive force.

It is said that Erintina discussed her opinion on this with someone from the princess’s side.

And it was clearly rejected.

“I think I should discuss this issue directly with the princess, rather than with my subordinates. And the princess is also one of the student members we are trying to join.”

Erintina’s opinion was not to bother going back too far, but to have a clean one-on-one battle with the princess.

“Do you want me to do it or do you want to do it?”

“I started this, so I have to take responsibility.”

This is what I wanted to do in the first place.

It is natural that Chechnya, which must consider the princess’s interests, is unwilling to take on the obvious losses.

‘I should tell you to tell me about Medusa.’

Medusa, whose abilities the ordinary soldiers used did not work at all.

If other soldiers had seen the boss in the hatchery, they would have spread the story, but unfortunately, the kids and I were the only ones who saw the hatchery boss monster.

‘It would be enough just to spread the word about Medusa.’

The reason why Prince Il’s subjugation team failed was because of the boss monster, but you can’t ignore it even after hearing that they caught a monster of a similar level.

“The princess has requested a meeting.”

just as expected.

A few days after I started spreading the story about Medusa, Princess Mona sent someone.

It took quite a bit of time, probably because I was being more careful than I thought.

There’s no way he wouldn’t have known that if he didn’t come up with a way to solve the boss monster, his subjugation would fail like Prince I did.

“long time no see. Princess.”

“I heard that you followed the commander to the contaminated area. “I also heard that you did a great job there.”

Princess Mona, whom I met after a long time, seemed much more comfortable and cheerful than before.

“You look good.”

“Good things happen even if you stay still, so there’s no reason not to feel bad.”

“You only have one day left to be recognized as the successor. Congratulations.”

None of the other royal family members dare to stand up to Princess Mona.

Of course, there may be attempts by nobles to create a new force just by borrowing its name.

However, such attempts will not threaten Princess Mona’s position.

“I knew that would happen too.”

Princess Mona’s once bright face suddenly becomes worried.

“??”

I looked at him quietly, not knowing why he was making such a face, but Princess Mona said.

“The person who should acknowledge me doesn’t.”

“If you are someone who deserves recognition… Are you referring to Your Majesty?”

“okay. “His Majesty says he still has no intention of deciding on a successor.”

Naturally, it was the moment when a red light appeared in the path ahead of Princess Mona, who thought the successor had been confirmed.
