Next to the king, there was no nobleman who would ignore the call of Duke Schwartz, who had become the de facto number one of the Republic now that the king had died.

They received a letter from the duke asking them to come urgently, and they jumped in with socks and made a forced treaty with Elena.

But no one went back frowning. It was because the conditions Elena put forward were too absurd.

To the extent that most suspected that her princess was struggling to live her life her just one more year.

“By the way, great.”
“What?”
“I never thought I’d come in without killing a single one of my soldiers….”

The duke looked at Dojin with admiration. I couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a mask, but he was truly a talented person.

And the duke had an excellent desire for talent as well as his desire for wealth.

“Hey, don’t you want to come under me?”
“…….”
“I don’t know what the princess promised, but I’ll give you more than that.”

However, Dojin did not answer. The duke looked at him as if he was frustrated, then he turned his gaze to the princess.

Didn’t they tell you to shoot a horse to aim for a longevity? To the Duke, the princess was just a horse that brought Do-jin to the capital.

“Where did you get such a person?”
“Oh, where did you throw away all the honorifics?”
“Is there any reason to respect a terminally ill person with one year left to live?”

To say such a thing to the royal family, and to a person who might become the queen, meant that the duke was also angry at her heart.

Realizing that fact, the princess smiled and showed her relaxed expression. She was smiling on the outside, but she was terrified on the inside as well as the princess.

‘Knight… Is this right?’

Although Do-jin did as she was told, making friends with subhumans such as elves, beastmen, and dwarves was very unrealistic for her to see.

Since ancient times, the Kingdom has been a human-friendly country that only acknowledges humans. In other words, it was also an anti-human nation.

If a country like that asks for friendship, will they nod? It was fortunate that I didn’t take it as an argument.

“Then it will be a year from now that you will be honored by the duke. Ah, it’s okay in private, but please be respectful in public. A contract might be activated.”

As the princess said, she made a contract with the nobles who came next.

When the contract with the last person ended, the princess finally realized that everything was ready to eat the kingdom.

“Duke?”
“Why?”
“We don’t have a place to sleep, so please provide accommodation.”
“… Prepare the room.”
“Oh, and something to eat as well.”
“What if I put poison in it?”
“Then will I die alone?”

The princess devours the country and makes a rich and strong soldier.
The duke helps her princess wholeheartedly to build her kingdom her.

It may not be possible, but if the duke poisons the princess, the duke will also lose his life according to his contract.

Even if the Duke poisons the princess without the Duke’s order, the Duke dies when he realizes the fact.

Do only dukes die? All the people who signed a contract with the princess died because they could not abide by the contract. In other words, the life of the princess now was not the life of the princess alone.

It was like the lives of all the nobility of the Republic.

“Do not worry too much. If I commit suicide, the contract automatically ends there.”

Of course, when the princess took her own life her by using it against her, or when she was killed by my party. In that case, the nobles also do not die.

Dukes are not stupid. He had that much of a safety net in place.

“Noisy. Because of you, today’s routine is messed up. Get out of your room quickly.”

The duke, enraged at the princess’ remarks her that seemed to disregard her and the fact that even if she disappeared in front of her eyes, that she had to stay up all night doing her overdue work, the duke took offense at her and turned the princess over to her. Kicked out of the break room of

The princess entered the room introduced by the duke and exclaimed. Is it really a duke? The size of the room is too wide.

“Uh? By the way- Why are you coming in with the driver?”
“They only gave me one room.”
“Yes?”

When she heard that she had to share a room with Dojin, the princess’s heart pounded loudly. No way, there’s no way Do-jin would do that, but there could be something like that all night.

“Master! The room is a bit dirty!”
“There are two beds… I think the lady and the knight can use it. I will sleep on the sofa.”

Seol and the nanny showed up belatedly. The princess pouted her mouth, revealing her disappointment.

Her nanny her, who had raised her for ten years, could tell that she was dissatisfied with her princess her, but unfortunately, she couldn’t figure out why she was dissatisfied.

Who in the world could have predicted it, that he was looking forward to having a date with Do-jin, but he was disappointed that he couldn’t because of the two of them.

* * *

The castle destroyed by Dojin was reconstructed in a larger and grander form than before to show off the power of the Republic.

There, as before, there was a space for giving speeches to the common people, and the nobles quickly coordinated their schedules and made the space available overnight.

Even the nobles who did not see her princess in a good way tried hard to abide by her contract her.

At the speech hall that entered, the princess was able to reunite with the court mage after a long time.

“Heh heh, princess. Long time no see.”
“Murdoch.”

The royal mage who had an impressive long beard that Do-jin saw when he destroyed the castle earlier.

He greeted her princess with a benevolent expression. Then, when she saw Do-jin behind her, she tilted her head, and when she saw the size of his body her, she turned his head around as if it was strange.

“When she said that the princess had returned, how surprised she was… Even when she asked to help the princess with her speech her, it seemed that this old woman’s lifespan was cut in half. What kind of magic did you use?”

“It’s not that great magic.”

“Haha, that’s right.”

At that moment, Murdoch realized that the princess had really cheated on her. But she couldn’t figure out what it was.

Is it brainwashing or hypnotic magic? It was impossible. The nobles who came to ask him right away were baptized by the priests this morning and washed away their unclean energy.

If he had been under one of the two spells, he would have come to him right away and secretly left orders to kill her princess.

But what they said was the opposite. You must never let the princess die.

‘What the hell did you do….’

There was one more curious thing. A man wearing a mask standing next to the princess. In terms of size, he was a completely different man, but his magic pattern was his….

“Murdoch?”
“Yes, princess. Let’s begin.”

Murdoch got out of his thoughts and immediately prepared his magic his. After a while, the most beautifully decorated princess in the world embroidered the sky of the Republic.

The hologram magic that greatly illuminates the target, and then the amplification magic that makes the princess’s voice loud enough to reach the entire republic and not unpleasant, have been completed.

—Hmmmm.

The princess coughed and realized that her magic had been carried out. As she recalled all the lines swirling in her head, she thought about what she would say.

After a very short time, she realized she didn’t need any of that.

—I will only get rid of those who suffer. That was the only thought.

The princess’s voice resounded, and people’s eyes turned to the sky. Some exclaimed admiration at her beautifully adorned princess her, while others frowned and cursed at her.

However, as if the princess could not hear that voice at all, she calmly continued her story of her.

─Orphans who rummage through trash cans because they have no parents, and parents who trade their children for those of others because they have nothing to eat. I wanted that pain to go away.

As expected of a princess who had been educated like a royal family all her life, her voice and her caught people’s ears.

It’s not that hard to get attention when your voice gets stuck in your ears. All you need is something plausible.

─That’s why I’ve been studying little by little. How to get rid of suffering in the world.

No such way exists. Unless a revolutionary technological revolution comes,

But there’s no way the common people know that. Fooling most stupid people. I just had to seduce them.

As long as he closed his eyes, plugged his ears, and followed himself, at least he had no intention of breaking what he had said.

─I came back to achieve that.

The princess opens her eyes and looks at the people. A huge welcome also embraces people with gentle eyes.

People’s hearts are shaken violently by its beautiful appearance of her. The heart shaken by the sweet persuasion collapses.

─Please help me to become the queen of this country.

The next moment, the cheers of the people were heard. It was probably a wind catcher planted by nobles.

But most people get caught up in that vibe. Once swept along, even smart people cannot admit that they have been deceived because they do not want to admit their stupidity.

With this, everything is over. The princess was convinced at this moment that she could become queen.

* * *

“Oh, princess….”

Murdoch listened to the princess’ speech and stole her tears. She didn’t actually shed a tear. It was a political act of respect for her princess her and prepared for her future her.

In fact, there was no water around Murdoch’s eyes as he turned around.

“Okay, so now I need to talk to you.”

Looking at Do-jin, Murdoch said that and approached Do-jin. No way, her body changed and she also wore a mask, but she wondered why the old man Do Jin-eun, who did not think that she would have been caught, was approaching.

“See you again. Kingdom destroyer. No, should I call you a kingdom slayer?”

“-What do you mean by that?”

“Heh heh, do I look the same as the cheering idiots down there?”

Murdoch said that and raised his mana. He is a being with outstanding intelligence and magical skills that would make him a court mage.

He was such an existence that comparing himself to commoners was an insult.

“Even if you change your size and hide your face, you cannot change or hide your magic pattern.”

Only then did Do-jin, who realized that he knew his identity of her, looked at him as he took off her mask of her.

“Therefore? What are you going to do?”

Can a wizard even worse than Raise be able to scratch Do-jin in such close proximity?

When I looked at Murdoch with the attitude that I would slit his throat if I had to, he immediately raised his hands and opened his mouth.

“Oops! People die, people die!”
“… What are you doing?”
“No, I think I was trying to fight you? I was just trying to find out if I was right… Eh, if you wonder twice, I’ll kill you!”

When the old man who lived enough to live said so, Do-jin couldn’t go out stronger.

When Do-jin put the mask on again, Murdoch asked him as if he had been waiting.

“By the way, didn’t the elder come with you? I still have a lot of questions left to ask.”

Dojin ignored his words and watched the princess. In the distance, he saw the princess returning from the end of her speech.
