Chapter 112 – What if Both Are Good

“Lord. As I said this morning,
There is a coronation ceremony for Princess Catherine this afternoon.”

“Hmm. You are finally ascending to the throne.
Any other big news?
It’s been a while since I’ve been away,
I’ll listen quickly.”

Angela, Marianne, Jacques,
Even useless knight commanders and staff
A meeting attended by all.
First to staff with mental manipulation
Listening to the Knights Templar
Receive new information.

“Captain, recently the Templars and the Cathedral have been
It is moving with a violent flow.
While advocating the “Sphere of public prosperity for mankind,”
Not only beastmen and giants,
Allies, fairies, even Easterners
There is a pattern of exclusion.”

In Zach’s expression,
Full of sincerity

“Yeah, I felt that too.
On the way, Alberic himself
They caught people in the wagon, locked them up, and dragged them away.”

“Oh my god.
The soon-to-be king’s consort
You do that.”

“Maybe that’s how it looks now.
Isn’t that just revealing?
To the extent that the king’s consort takes the lead,”

Marianne is taken aback by my words.
That point is correct.

Leading the way in such immoral things
Are you a member of the royal family?
It’s hard to come out of a normal accident.

“Leader. It’s not about human trafficking.
Now, from the Knights Templar to the attack theory that has been asked
It’s coming out.
Insufficient funds for war
Steal Cheonghaejin’s vast amount of gold and treasure
We want to raise funds for the military.”

“Hmm, the only property Cheonghaejin has is
Isn’t it mostly speech?
You pay by bill on the Eastern Trade Route, right?”

“No. Recently, spot trading volume has increased,
Rumor has it that the warehouses are full of gold and treasure.
The streets are full.”

Good. It’s going according to plan.

In fact, the rumor is that Master and I
That is spreading
Let’s steal a huge amount of property from Cheonghaejin.

This idea is possible
Orientals do not come within the category of human beings.
Thanks to the claims of extremists.

“But how are you going to touch Cheonghaejin?
If Asadal knew about it, he wouldn’t be alone.”

Cheong Hae-jin sent soldiers directly under the imperial family of the Hwan Empire.
An organized anti-piracy organization that was rented out.
If attacked, of course to the imperial capital
Will report

“To inform even the capital of the home country
No matter how fast it takes 50 days.
It will be a long time if you go by boat.”

“Well. That is if you only go by boat.
The post office system has been in operation for quite some time, hasn’t it?
Areas that are not affected by currents
If you run on horseback, it’s fast
We can go in two weeks.”

Angela opened her mouth.

“To get to the horse, you have to cross the steppe.
Recently, the nomads of the steppe
Dissatisfaction with the public trade of the Huan Empire
There is also information that there is.
Without the cooperation of nomads
You cannot run with words.
In that case, the delivery of news will be delayed.”

Hmm. Is it.
I’m glad you updated the latest information.

“Thank you, Angela. It was helpful.”

“Thank you.
I’m glad you found it helpful.”

“I must go to Cheonghaejin.
Zach, give me the cloth bono you got last time.”

“Yes. Here you are.”

You are handed a heavy luggage package.

“Tell me more about it later.
Any other news?”

“That… Camus.
To summon the gold dragon,
It is news that the royal family is gathering offerings.
Due to the lack of sacrifices, even human sacrifice is being discussed.
Even in the cathedral, there is a lot of controversy.”

“Eh?
Doesn’t the dragon pay a salary there?
Did they give you food or green food?”

For some reason Marianne sees me today
Keep hesitating
Are you still talking in a crawling voice?

“If you entrust the village to the dragon,
It’s so bad that everyone runs away…
It is usually left free in its habitat,
I only summon it as a guardian dragon when needed.
But with noble blood
Want a virgin,
Demanding a lot of money
The royal family in Amity seems to be in trouble.
Even the noble ladies are rejecting it,
The cathedral is making a fuss over the lack of offerings.”

On the topic of winged obese lizard mercenaries
The ransom is too high.

Ehyo, this is not the time to talk about others.
The Demon Lord’s Black Dragon ‘Karamit’
You went back to the demon realm.
What to do to re-summon
It’s just clogged.

Well, I told Rumika to think about it.

“I see. Any other news?”

Then Angela raised her hand again.

“Mother of Princess Anne and Princess Stella
Duke Dupre has arrived in the suburbs of the capital.”

“Huh? Why?”

Aren’t you here to join the holy war?

Angela calmly told me an important fact.

“The first queen, the mother of Princess Catherine,
She died a long time ago.
Princess Catherine has lost all ties with her maternal family.
The warrior Alberic has no family or power.
That’s why they joined hands with the cathedral.
In this situation, Princess Anne
Renounce her claim to the throne
Princess Stella was imprisoned
What do you mean?”

“… Could there be a civil war?”

Angela quietly nodded her head.

“I heard and saw it.
In this situation, the supporters of Princess Anne gathered
Maybe attack Princess Catherine’s side.
Princess Stella still has the official right to the throne.
Demon King Assassination… There are also achievements of
Where are the supporters of Princess Anne now?”

“With the Duke Dupre as the main axis
Most of the nobles are concentrated in the southeast of the capital.”

“Isn’t the Abu Bakr family there too?”

“The Abu Bakr family has been
We are maintaining neutrality.
I have no great interest in anything other than the Shimak trade route.”

“The Christoph family or the Valentine family?”

Angela’s expression darkened slightly.

“It’s not about which side both families are on,
I tend to support the orthodox side.
In the present case, the first princess is the rightful
Since she is the first-rank heir to the throne,
I will support Princess Catherine.”

“Hey, Knight Commander Lassel. It’s true?”

“Yes? Yes. That’s right.”

“You attended the coronation
Meet all the aristocrats who support Princess Anne and gather information.
Angela, you are the nobles who support Princess Catherine.
Come meet me.”

“All right.”

Well, if you do well, you can blow your nose without touching it.
In the name of the temple, around the capital
A situation in which troops are legally brought in.
If necessary, mobilize troops to surround the castle
Anything is possible.

“Now disband. If nothing else,
Tomorrow I’m leaving for Cheonghaejin right away.
I have urgent business.”

After the meeting, they disperse
Marianne comes to me.

“Come on, Kamyu-nim.”

“Huh?”

“That knife. Could you show me some?”

I have the Yedo that I was wearing around my waist
He pulled out the sheath and handed it over.
Seeing this, Jacques clicked his tongue.

“For a swordsman, the sword is life.
Do you carelessly give the sword to the other person?”

“Shut up. I am a hypnotist.”

“Sheesh.”

Marianne carefully examines her sword.

I want to draw a sword,
So that you can press the button to draw the knife
Unlocked the lock.

Sereung.

My days were a bit hurt by my struggle with Alberic, but
Still sharp blade.
Marianne looked at her knife and frowned at her.

“Someone put a tracking mark on it.”

“What?!”

No, why didn’t I notice?

“Who did you fight with this sword?”

“… Alberic.”

Marianne’s face turned blue.

“It is a big deal.
It’s not magic, it’s some kind of miracle.
The detection range is quite wide.
It is useful.”

“… Alberic based on this mark
They might come after me.”

“Yes that’s right.”

I hurriedly left the tent.

“Angela, the fastest right now
Will you call the rider?”

Angela calls the soldiers
His eyes brought a sharp rider.

“You take this knife right now.
Go to the inn in Adeby Village.
There is only one inn, so it’s easy to find.
On the third floor of the inn, an oriental man named Park Jeong-woo
Are staying
Go ahead and deliver this sword to the easterner
Go to Cheonghaejin together.
I’ll be leaving soon too.”

And I put allusive patterns on paper and
I wrote it and gave it to the rider.

“If you meet Park Jung-woo, before explaining,
Show me this piece of paper.
The dotted area is the lower part.
Must show in advance
Then explain
While the horse is running,
Don’t say hello to anyone, don’t talk to anyone
Run straight to Cheonghaejin.”

“Yes!”

The prostrated rider holds a piece of paper and a knife
The horse ran away.

“Huh, it shouldn’t be too late.”

If you are captured by Park Jeong-woo
He even hinted at committing suicide.
However, if the opponent is Alberic
There is also the possibility that he will be captured before he even commits suicide.
Then, the identity is revealed
It’s an instant.

“I must move quickly.
Thanks, Angela.”

“You’re welcome.
Oh yes, the nobles after the coronation
A banquet follows.
With the members of my family
I will attend and come.”

Huh? Aha.
Well, it’s the day I ascended the throne.
I’ll hold a banquet for a few days.

“Okay?
The way you look in a pretty dress
I wanted to see you, but it’s a pity.
Bye.”

At the lightly spat out words
Angela looks at me intently.

? Why?

“Why?”

“… No. Nothing.”

Her back catches Angela’s arm.

“Angela. Can commoners also attend?”

“Ah… No.
Since coronations are for nobles,
Those without an invitation are prohibited from entering.
Instead… From the second day of the banquet
I also heard that part of the palace is open.”

Hmm… First of all, an oriental man named Park Jeong-woo
Send it to Cheonghae first
Having evaded Alberic’s pursuit,
Could it be that the fire was put out urgently?

To be sure, just take a look
But I have to start right away.
… For some reason, I want to see Angela’s dress.

“Okay? Then…
I’m leaving a day late
Would you like to wear a dress to the banquet on the second day?”

“Yes? Ah… Yes. All right.”

“No?”

Angela winces.

“No!”

“… If you feel uncomfortable because you are the lord, tell me.
Originally, I was going to leave right away…”

“No. That’s really fine.
I will wait for you the next day.”

Angela nods
She swiftly moved her steps.

I went back to the tent,

“Uh? Number of animals.
Aren’t you gone yet?”

Stop by the tent and pick up the things you left earlier.
I came to pick it up, but Marianne is still
Remain in the tent

“Ah… Yes. Go, go!”

… Why are you so award winning?

“Wait, Marie.”

I grabbed Marie’s arm.

“Yes? Why, why, why?”

“You are suspicious.
Why are you stuttering?”

“Me, me, me?
Haha. What do you mean…”

What an honest saintess this is.

“What are you taking from here?”

“Who is the thief ?!
What are you talking about?!”

There are no missing items
Not even a reaction.

Then the cause… Is it me
Come to think of it, I was with Angela yesterday
Having sex in a tent
I suddenly jumped out and ran out.

“Let’s talk.”

“… Camu-nim is right at the herbal shop.
Didn’t you say you had to stop by?
He said he was going to run an errand for Mr. Alberic.”

“You care.
Why are you angry?”

“… Aren’t you mad?”

Stay calm.
I’ve been through this pattern a lot.
Nene and Rumika, to everyone.

This is female
‘I’m not a narrow-minded woman who gets angry or sulking.
On the premise of being angry with pride
Don’t ask,
If you take care of me and soothe me, where will it be?’
It means defense mechanism.

But I’m a real man
Don’t care about that

“Do you want to have sex?”

“What are you talking about?!
I want to go!”

Excited to go out
Grab her arm again

Stay in the tent
I see you caught
There is something you want from me

“Are you attending the coronation banquet too?”

“… I only attend the official coronation ceremony
It will come out right away.
There’s also Philip’s Highness.
It’s very uncomfortable.
I don’t like seats with many aristocrats.”

“Hmm, then there will be time in the evening.
I also stopped by the palace to see Princess Anne for a while.
Is about to come out
Didn’t you decide to buy me clothes last time?
Do you want to go look at the clothes?”

Marianne with the support of Count Abu Bakr
When she escaped from the cathedral,
She bought Marianne her clothes.
Marianne thanks her
If you return to the castle in Amity
You said you’d buy me clothes

“To? That, that…
No. Joy. I am busy too.”

This guy…
Suddenly don’t fit
Why is it wheat

“Ah, don’t do that, let’s go together.
Instead, I’ll buy you something delicious.”

“… Really?”

“Then!”

Let’s smile and answer
Marianne also smiles.

“All right.
In the plaza after the coronation
A princess wearing a crown will greet me.
After that, I spent a couple of hours at official events.
There will be.”

“Then, where is Princess Anne?
I’ll be at the entrance to the eastern palace.
Do you have a pass there too?
It should be where the entrance soldiers are.”

Are they all hypnotized guys over there?
It’s okay to kill time.

“Is it so. Then see you later!”

Marianne smiled like the sun
Wave her hand and leave.

That guy… On a date with her in the evening
I have to ask.
… Maybe yesterday with Angela
Doing 3p instead of 3p
I think it’s a bit out of line.

Let’s chill out on a date.

Until now, that day
I thought I would just be at peace.

There are many things that I do not know about in the palace
Because I didn’t know what was happening.
