The Duke’s explanation revealed the first queen’s intentions and purposes, but questions still remained.

“Then why was the first queen so obsessed with the succession?”

That was the question Arthur was talking about. If you’re going to revive the king, you don’t need a succession, right?

If she was only obsessed with Rene, you would think it was her love for her children, but if the first queen truly cared for Rene, she wouldn’t have kicked Rene out as soon as she saw a sprout in Arthur.

“Sorry. I don’t even know that far.”

“You don’t know? Don’t you have a close relationship with the first queen?”

“3Prince. To her, I am just a close friend of His Majesty. What reason would there be to inform everything to a tool necessary for His Majesty’s stability?”

The duke’s expression was so sad as he said that even he, whom he had known for a long time, was nothing more than a tool to the first queen, and it made even Arthur, who had been arguing with him just a moment ago, keep his mouth shut.

“When we met recently, I was told not to disturb him. I asked for the bare minimum information, but it was rejected, and I lost the bet I barely started by holding on to my trouser leg. This is really all I know.”

Caria nodded at the heartbreaking confession. Everything the duke said just now is true.

Like me, those who were confirmed by Caria remained silent, each with their own thoughts.

As the uncomfortable silence continued, Caria shook her shoulders and covered her mouth with one hand.

“…I think I know.”

“Karia! Is that really true!?”

When the Duke suddenly shouted, Caria, who had been lost in thought, slowly lowered her chin.

“I am speaking based on circumstantial evidence. Please know that this is just a guess.”

“What is it about that you take such a long time?”

“It’s a story that I feel like my voice will become dirty just by telling it.”

Seeing Caria warning like that, it seems like the first queen’s purpose is ridiculously dirty.

What is it? Was he planning to offer it up as a sacrifice to an evil spirit? It’s quite plausible when you think about the fact that the better the ability, the closer it is to the giver, the greater the value of the offering.

‘no?’

‘…The one who is not the successor.’

Could it be that Queen 1 decided to sacrifice Rene even in the game?

I guess so. By the time the kingdom story reaches its end, Arthur is more capable than Rene. It seems like Arthur would be considered a better successor.

ah. Now I finally understand the story in the game.

1The queen tried to offer Rene as a sacrifice for the king’s resurrection, but failed.

Whatever the circumstances, Rene made a contract with an evil spirit and killed the first queen.

That’s why Rene became the final boss of the kingdom story.

In this case, it should be said that it is self-employed.

He was killed by his own child, but I don’t feel sorry for him at all.

“Phew.”

Caria let out a long sigh and made eye contact with everyone.

Hehehe. I feel at ease because I already know what to say.

I’ll have to watch other people be shocked. The moment I crossed my arms and pulled back, Caria slowly opened her mouth.

“As everyone knows, His Majesty the King was a smart man, but he was not a strong man. Even though he grew up receiving support from the royal palace.”

huh? Why do people say I have a weak body? Are you saying that they will ask for something like that by offering a good sacrifice?

While I was tilting my head, the atmosphere around me became serious.

Joey covered his mouth with both hands, forgetting that he was acting like a lady, the goofy fox snorted as if in awe and let out a small curse, Benedick clenched his fist so hard that his blood ran dry, and Arthur looked blankly at Caria. I forced myself to raise the corners of my mouth.

“ character. Please wait a moment. Karia. Your jokes are so mischievous. How can a human being do that?”

“Younger brother. Stay still.”

“But brother! If what Karia is trying to say is true!”

“What if it’s true? They become livestock raised to offer their bodies to His Majesty the King.”

… What did I just hear?

“That’s right. Was that why the first queen was happy every time my skills improved?”

“Based on that crazy bitch’s purpose and the information I have, this is the most convincing story.”

therefore. Are you saying that you raised Renee to create a body for the King to use? Not because he is the child of someone he loves?

I knew she was crazy, but this went too far.

“What is that situation?”

“For several years now, that crazy bitch has had access to warlocks through the Ministry of Intelligence. It must be said that everyone has ties to famous people in the underworld. Not long ago, we concluded that it was simply for His Majesty’s resurrection. Most of the information provided by the warlocks was related to the soul. The original conclusion was that it was to store the soul of the deceased and later breathe it into the revived body, but after talking here today, I changed my mind.”

Caria stroked her hair and continued her explanation.

“If the goal is simple revival, it is more efficient to focus on nurturing successors. However, as my employer told me, the goal of the crazy bitch is to create a wise king who will rule the country forever. There is no need for succession.”

“Instead of a king with physical problems, isn’t it possible to make the successor a current king?”

When the stupid fox asked if it was just a guess, Karia readily admitted.

“That could be true. But anyway. Do you think that crazy bitch will change the current king on a whim?”

“I don’t know that either. Because it’s a human thing.”

“The crazy bitch I know is never that type of person. That bitch is not the type of person to allow variables.”

“What do you want to say?”

“For a crazy bitch, the character of the successor is a good thing. If the immediate value is greater, you can change it at will.”

Because they’re going to take it away anyway. After hearing Karia’s conclusion, I was at a loss for words.

wait for a sec. So, does this mean that the final boss I faced in the game will be the King and not Renee?

Is it true that Renee after the true ending, who I thought was a reformed person, is actually played by the king?

no. no. Probably not.

In this case, I didn’t know that even the king would do something like this.

There’s no way you can be so innocent after taking your child’s body. I’m sure this was just made sloppily by the poor Lord.

“Huh.”

Renee, who had been holding her face for a while, let out a laugh and hit the desk hard.

“If your guess is true, I won’t be able to even ask the first queen, or even my mother, the true intention.”

“Yes. Because there is a chance that the other person will achieve their goal.”

“That would be the same for me as my older brother.”

The atmosphere is too heavy. I feel like I will be crushed by the air.

I can’t seem to find anything to say! Can’t someone do something stupid and lighten the mood!?

I’m not good at that! If you say something meaningless, a disaster will happen!

“Huh. The three of us would have been quite a force.”

come! You idiot!

“There’s no problem with Peanut Prince, right?”

“You use that title again! No sleep. Why do I have no problems?”

“That’s not enough, right? In many ways.”

“Oh? If you want to die so bad, I’ll kill you!”

Cecil also noticed quickly and got along well. I don’t know what he was like before, but he’s a pretty good person now.

…It fits the joke, right? The strangely murderous intent was probably intentional, right?

After Cecil’s passionate performance relieved the heavy atmosphere a little, Joy, who had remained silent until now, kept her gaze on the desk and spoke in a dry voice.

“Wait a minute. Karia, would you mind if I ask you a question?”

That’s not Joy, who tries to act like a normal girl, or the nerd who’s a shy high school girl. This is a story about Joey, a wizard with genius talent.

“Of course.”

“Your guess is certainly convincing. But is soul transplantation really possible?”

“That is.”

“Lucy said that the evil god Agra is the one who announces the end. This means that soul transplantation is something that must be done solely through the abilities of the first queen, regardless of the power of God. Is such a thing truly possible with human power?”

“That Lady Partran?”

“If that were possible, there would be records of it actually happening and there would be defense measures in place to prepare for it. If you do it right, you might be able to solve the problem without any fuss.”

Joy, who was muttering about various possibilities, belatedly raised her head and noticed the eyes focused on her, so she quickly took out a fan and covered her face.

“Sorry. I spoke presumptuously.”

“No. Lady Patran. It was a valuable opinion.”

“Yes. Thanks to this, I have the opportunity to talk to Queen 1 in person.”

As Caria and Renee praised at the same time, Joey smiled cautiously.

“Caria. How long do you think it will take to gather information?”

“It’s hard to say for sure. Skilled warlocks keep moving around. You can gather as many opinions as you want from clumsy guys.”

“Let’s divide up the roles for now. Duke Kurten. Would you please cooperate?”

“I would be happy to do so.”

*

While the smart people were having a long conversation, I went out of the building with Joey.

It won’t help if we stay in there anyway. You have to do what you can right away.

“Lucy. Do you want to go to Erginus?”

“No. Looks like you virgin girl is going to make lame excuses again.”

Erginus certainly knows a lot and is someone who can give us a lot of advice right now, but it is difficult to get the answer we want from him.

As he ascended to godhood, he was burdened with numerous restrictions. Even if we visit, they will only be able to tell us vague stories.

“Then who is it?”

“You idiot. I do not remember? A squishy old woman stuck in the basement.”

“Adri. Was it?”

“Yes. Let’s go make fun of the old man who gets lonely a lot. I’m sure you’ll like it.”

“…Is this what you like?”

“Okay then! If I even touch you, you will cry.”

I don’t know how much I’ve done for that guy, but even in times like this, I should benefit from it. is not it?
