“What a good person.”

Lucia talked with us and then moved to another place for a while. Because she was a princess, Lucia also had a few people to talk to. Since I didn’t have that kind of relationship with the other nobles, I had to hang out with the girls who came with me, except for a few people.

The party is getting more and more mature.

“Hmm.”

Through Runica, the assassins have already figured everything out. And since Asabel had never passed under a chandelier, there was no danger of being trampled by something like that. I glance at the prince.

“You have a lot of spare time.”

“Huh?”

Ray also glances at the prince. What a fox-like cub. Even if they are competitors, they are killing their own blood relatives, and so far they have not shown even the slightest sign of nervousness. A little while ago, when I forced a marquis to side with the princess, he only expressed his displeasure at that moment… … From then on, I never lose my smile.

… … Does this mean it doesn’t matter since Asabel dies today anyway?

But when? Of course, I would have blocked it because I was constantly watching, but there were many opportunities for the assassins Runica mentioned to approach the princess.

weird.

Strange… … .

“Daron. It seems like it’s starting slowly.”

Eline tapped me with her chest instead of her hand and made me look at the princess. He gracefully emerges to the center, escorted by knights next to him. The nobles who were talking excitedly among themselves fell silent one by one as she watched her move.

Tick.

The lights go out.

Ugh.

And then it turns on again with a bright light. I prepared a lot to show off. Asabel looked around at the nobles around him and smiled.

“I feel good because all of you who came to congratulate me are enjoying the party.”

Is it because she’s a princess, or is it to give it weight… … Asabel’s words were majestic.

“You all know why we prepared this event.”

Princess Asabel’s birthday celebration party. For a party, many distinguished guests were invited.

“The current era appears peaceful, but it is in crisis.”

Danger… … la.

“Devil.”

At that sound, a short groan escaped the nobles.

“Even though there has been no actual war yet, you would understand because you have ears to hear. Starting with the lactone forest—.”

Lactone Forest. Before I even became a knight… … In other words, when you are just a soldier… … This was the first time the demon plot was destroyed after returning. At that time, I was in trouble because of the demon siblings who led the demon beasts. The princess almost got into big trouble back then.

“Lancelot Principality.”

Duchy of Lancelot. This is the northern territory ruled by the Nova Archduchy, where he killed the Four Heavenly Kings and became a warrior of death.

“Elf Kingdom.”

At that time, a total of two Four Heavenly Kings came. The plan was to use powerful demonic magic on the elf kingdom to destroy the kingdom itself, but it was ultimately prevented.

“You may not know much about this empire, but… … If it weren’t for the hero Daron Dran, it wouldn’t be in the empire or on this continent! These were things that could have caused very fatal damage.”

Lactone Forest.

There, the Empire’s main force, the Gold Eagle Knights, was almost destroyed.

Duchy of Lancelot.

If I hadn’t gone, the princess might have rebelled… … , the monsters living on the great plateau there may have joined the Demon King’s army. Oh, by the way, I miss Masha.

Elven Kingdom.

A catastrophe could have occurred in which more than half of the elves, who could have been a great strength to the alliance in the future, were ravaged by demons. He is stronger than anyone else in the forest, and because each individual is stronger than ordinary humans, he saved them and made them join hands with the empire.

“I will ask you. Is the devil’s invasion really over?”

We tried to touch the continent several times, but failed.

“That can’t be possible, right? It may attack again and again. Or, just once… … They might attack with the intention of destroying the kingdom or this empire.”

Asabel Sylv.

When I first saw her, I thought she was just a princess with good abilities, but she has grown a lot in a short period of time. If you look at his thoroughness, he seems to resemble me.

“… … You too will know. His Majesty the Emperor is trying to decide on his next successor. However, if the Demon King’s attack begins in earnest, the empire will fall into chaos. That’s why, as soon as possible… … .”

Asabel swallows his words for a moment and declares in a voice with a clear composure.

“As the next emperor, I wish to receive recognition from His Majesty the Emperor.”

The nobles supporting the princess clenched their fists and looked at Asabel with eyes full of loyalty, the neutrals looked expectant, and the two princes seemed busy managing their facial expressions.

“It has already been proven in several ways. I made Count Dran my vassal to thwart the devil’s plot, and in addition, I signed an alliance agreement in advance with the principality, kingdom, and individual lords.”

My help was great. I also took advantage of Asabel’s command, so I didn’t mind if she tried to use me now to get recognition for her contribution. For a stable empire, the princess must be recognized as the next emperor as soon as possible.

“What do you guys think? I have sacrificed my life for the empire more than anyone else, and I think I have the qualifications.”

Asabel looked around at the nobles again. Starting with those who support him, the prince faction, and even the 2nd prince Yuleaf Sylv… … .

“Uleaf Sylv.”

Asabel directly mentioned the prince. The eyes of the nobles are focused. Second Prince Julif Sylv, who can be said to be second among the candidates for the throne, answered the princess’s words with a smile.

“Yes sister.”

“I know that you also want to take over His Majesty’s position.”

“Haha.”

“But do you think you are qualified?”

Was Asabel this scared?

He raised his voice in a firm tone, as if urging. To some, it may seem like he is mad at power and scolds, but the current Asabel deserved it. In fact, Asabel is the only royal family member in this empire who has proven that. Asabel tried to step on the prince in the cruelest but most certain way possible.

Why would you create a stage like this and say, ‘Are you qualified?’ If I had been on the prince’s side, I would have been angry instead.

“Sister. Anyway, it’s too much. Of course, your abilities are outstanding, but as a member of the imperial family, I did my best and it is true that I have not been able to show it yet.”

“Couldn’t show it?”

“Yes. That’s right. Because I think I have more qualifications as a monarch than you.”

Julip did not give in to Asabel’s words and fought back.

“So.”

Asabel snaps her fingers. In keeping with the sound, the sound of striking was heard all around the large hall, and then quickly quieted down.

“Did you plant an assassin to kill me like this?”

All of the assassins Runika mentioned were instantly suppressed by the knights the princess had infiltrated. And there were even a few assassins that I didn’t know about, that is, assassins that the princess found out about by keeping an eye on the surroundings from the beginning of the party.

“What is this.”

“What did Her Highness the Princess say?”

“Assassin?”

A commotion arises.

“Sister. What are you doing now?”

“What are you doing?”

“Haha. To be honest, I was a little embarrassed just now, but isn’t this a very obvious play?”

“It’s an obvious play.”

Asabel chuckled and looked at the knight who was laying down an assassin underneath him. Nodding his head, the knight completely bent the assassin’s shoulder back.

“Kwaaahhh!!!!!”

“It’s a play. Even breaking an arm is a play?”

“Sister. Are you crazy!”

“Ah, Yuleef, do you think I was planning to punish you by doing something crazy like this? Why should I?”

Asabel’s words had credibility. There is no need to go to such lengths to defeat Yuleef by making up facts that do not exist when he is already the strongest candidate. There may be nothing to say to those who claim that even this perception is calculated, but in any case, Asabel’s remarks were stronger than Yuleef’s.

“Kill.”

“Yes.”

“Keuuk!”

This time, he signals the other knight to kill the assassin. He lifted the sword and plunged it straight into the back of the assassin’s neck. For reference, there was Runika among the assassins, but she was only suppressed. Since I told you in advance, I won’t send a signal to Runica.

“Sister is crazy! Even if the assassin is true, is there any evidence that he was connected to me?”

“Are you going to play it cool until the end? Count Dran!”

“Yes.”

Why am I suddenly calling you? First, I rushed over to the princess.

“Count. Who is that collaborator I mentioned last time?”

“That’s her.”

“Bring him in!”

Runica was brought between the princess and the prince by the knight. For a moment, the prince looked at Runica with angry eyes, but it was only for a moment.

“Say.”

“Yes. Formerly a member of His Highness Prince Yuleef’s secret unit, “Darkness”, this time, His Highness the Princess… … I was given a mission to assassinate.”

“Sister. Aren’t you already talking to this bitch?”

“The secret unit “Darkness”. Yuleaf. If we dig into this properly, won’t anything come out?”

“… … .”

Puzzle.

The sound of Yuleef grinding his teeth was heard.

No matter how secretly a unit is created, there are no eternal secrets. The reason I didn’t grab Runica and immediately go catch the prince was to give the princess time to properly dig into that secret unit. And to this extent, it is difficult to set the stage for completely punishing the prince.

Asabel was preparing the party, but she must have been prepared to reveal that the prince was behind it.

“Ha.”

A smart Yuleaf would know.

“Hahahaha!”

So, you lose your mind and laugh like that… … .

“Hahaha! You’re amazing, sister.”

for a moment.

“I thought it was impossible, but really… … I never thought I would be corrupted by demons.”

“What?”

Asabel has an expression that says what kind of bullshit is this?

“Daron!”

Ray also seemed to have felt something and called me with a surprised face.

“Ugh?”

Asabel suddenly groans. A writhing energy can be felt within Asabel.

“Everyone! 1 This is proof that the princess, Asabel Sylv, has colluded with the demons!”

When Yuleef shouts while holding the sacred tool, black energy suddenly swirls out from Asabel’s body.

[Hehe, hero—. Please try to solve this as well.]

And suddenly, the voice of that bitch, Odelia, is heard in my ears. The prince joins hands with the Virgin of Death, as if… … Similar to when they accused Lucia of being a witch… … He was plotting something crazy.

Fuck… … They!!!
