Chapter 629 – [Cultural Festival]

It took less than an hour for the high-ranking nobles of the capital to gather and hold a council.

It’s far less than the time it took us to get here from the academy. It must mean that there are many people who have realized that the matter is so important.

And if there’s one that stands out the most…

“The pillar of a kingdom, duke Jinyu”

He is a seasoned middle-aged man armed with twin swords and no armor.

Is this the father of the guy who fought Luminus? He was quite young for a Continental Ten, but his armed forces seemed at least similar to that of the Margrave of Beastra.

“It’s a pity that the same Continental Ten Rivers meet like this, Duke.”

“……I came here as your Highness’s guide.”

“It’s not guidance, it’s surveillance.”

Expressing the Continental Ten Rivers in other words, it could be seen as the strongest assassin.

Of course, Pleione, which can exert its power only if there is a great forest, is a little different, but the Continental Ten Rivers that entered the enemy country killed all the opponent’s high-ranking nobles and caused confusion in the command system.

In short, you can think of it as a heroic role in the story of the Demon King’s Hero. So it’s only natural to put the Continental Ten River next to me.

But still, I don’t know if I can kill him with Hankyu and rip him out.

“Ah! Hello Duke!”

“…? Excuse me, but who are you? I don’t know because I don’t know anyone among the werewolves, but are you from Garuna Highlands?”

“My name is Luminous von Bistra. He’s fought my son before in science fiction and martial arts competitions.”

“Beastra’s white robe… But his ancestor was a beast man, he’s a human now, so how?”

“Thanks to self-fantasy”

“Okay”

Self-fantasy seems to be in the same position as Muan Sweet Water here. If it is easy to understand that a human becomes a prisoner.

The important thing here is not to make him hostile as one of the ten continental powers. No, there is no difference even if he is hostile, but if he provokes him for nothing and takes the side of the crown prince in anger, it becomes a hassle.

“I met the duke’s son at the Mutu Tournament. He had such a wonderful son with a promising future.”

“……..”

“If Lady Bistra hadn’t awakened her fantasy at that time, she boasted such outstanding skills that she would have been defeated, and seeing her clean side of admitting defeat even when defeated, I liked her. They insulted me as an insignificant family.”

Slightly, Duke Jinyu’s eyebrows twitched.

To sum up what I said, it’s like saying, ‘Your son looked good on you, but the crown prince is an asshole?’

If it was the ten continental rivers here, of course, the atrocities of the crown prince were also alters, so the favorable impression, which was already at the bottom, was sharply reduced to minus.

It was for this reason that he deliberately chose the duke’s son as the target of comparison. No matter how good he is, he will only be his own son. Especially if you are a poor person. The contrast makes the emotions extreme.

If it’s a story like this, I’ll do well again. It wasn’t that I hadn’t seen a lot of human figures.

“What do you want to say?”

“I want you to remain neutral in the Council. Doing what I want is rather beneficial for a kingdom.”

Hey, let’s be honest.

Hand over the crazed prince VS Han Kingdom perish.

Is the former the better of the two? It is rather the ugliest law in the world to perish while taking the side of the bastard who used to be honorable, nabal, flirting, and fooling around.

Even if a real war breaks out with this, I personally think it will be a dirty war at the level of an opium war.

Anyway, my party and I were guided to the assembly hall.

I’m thinking of dropping the crown prince into the abyss here.

*        *    *

Upon entering the council hall, the first thing that caught my eye was the current king of a kingdom sitting in the seat of honor.

He has dark hair, but his skeleton itself is from this side. If the traits of the first king were said to have been inherited, no matter how faint they were, traces of them would still remain, but considering that, the first king was more likely to be a reincarnated person than an idiot.

After all, Igo-kaeng is before another world, so the body belongs to a Korean, but the body of the reincarnated person belongs to that world. It’s black hair, so you can assume it’s here too.

“Nice to meet you, 3rd Prince. Guain is the current king of a kingdom. Yu Jinhan.”

“I am Worst von Frontier, the third prince of the Frontier Empire and the pillar of the Empire. It is only regretful to meet you like this.”

I kept some respect. Because it’s important to buy favors from here on out.

The opponent is still the crown prince’s father. Even a hedgehog says that his children are together, so who will easily make the decision to kill his children?

If both of you are bastards before the choice, you will worry, but if one side is clearly human, you will eventually choose that side. So I had to pretend to be nice.

When King Jinhan looked at the crown prince I dragged along, he showed a mixture of pity and anger in his eyes. Oh, seeing that, I knew a little bit about it myself.

“Even though he committed a serious crime, the crown prince is the son of a widow. Please, please, in this council, please treat me fairly.”

“I will do so by seeing Your Majesty’s face.”

With telekinesis, I lifted the crown prince and threw him onto a chair in the corner of the parliament. It’s so funny to see his head bent and stuck between his legs because he’s so distracted.

Priests belonging to the Gray Temple urgently treated him. Well, the only external trauma is a thrush hit and a few grains of corn.

“I will hold an emergency meeting from now on. The agenda is about this incident.”

Oh, it feels like the judge is here all of a sudden.

When you see Shion moving his butt up and down like he’s about to shout ‘I have an objection!’

I stopped my excitement and focused on my work again. Even if you don’t, you shouldn’t cause sudden actions in a concentrated situation because of Shion’s appearance at the time you entered the council.

“First, I will listen to the testimony of the 3rd Prince, who is the witness, the victim, and the perpetrator.”

Ugh, getting 3 different titles at the same time is such a shame!

It’s a fact that I’ve already said since I came here, but it’s still a necessary process to add certainty. Those who object can be brushed off in reverse.

“The incident happened a few hours ago. The four people present here, including me, were working at Ishmael, a cafe I run as a club activity. And then, the Crown Prince visited our store.”

Oh, suddenly I remember the unique B-gum of the reverse trial.

Perhaps because I had a funny thought, I stopped the corners of my mouth from going up and continued talking again.

“Even though there were countless lines waiting for their turn, the crown prince ignored the line and entered first, flirting with my companion, Shion, who was looking at the counter.”

“Okay, the crown prince……”

“If you have that crazy temperament…”

The nobles attending the council heard whispers.

Of course, there are factions that support the crown prince, but there are probably many who don’t. If you have such a crazy temperament, it’s not strange if there are more people who don’t.

Besides, if you are in the same situation as now.

“As you can see, my partner has a beautiful appearance. To be honest, I just expressed it as a joke, but in reality, I said more… I think it will disturb the atmosphere of the assembly, so I will reduce my words.”

“……Continue, 3rd Prince”

“After that, the crown prince made the same flirtation with my fiancée, the daughter of Count Bistra, who worked at the store together, and also committed the same atrocities with Asterope, the second daughter of Pleione, the current head of the elves, who was next to him. “

“Kuhm!”

“No, did you intend to go to war with the Great Forest of Urca, Crown Prince?!”

The whispering sound got louder.

I’m slowly driving, so there’s not much notice left.

“I was enraged by that and stopped the crown prince, and at first I tried to solve it through conversation, but he, who did not know my identity, tried to suppress me with my identity, so I beat him and brought him here.”

“Ummm…”

If you’ve heard this far, the crown prince is a bastard.

No, actually that was the truth. Why don’t you say that “The only thing that survives is the [Truth] Of this world,” He said.

Oh, where did that come from? From jojo

“If you need any witnesses, you can find them. There must be at least tens of people and academy students who were watching the case at the time.”

“I definitely heard the testimony of the third prince.”

The dark king closed his eyes with a confused mind and let out a quiet voice.

I sprinkled on some extra seasoning. It’s like pouring butter and soy sauce on hot rice after it’s finished.

“I don’t know about the elf, Asterope, but this incident is like insulting all the ten continents with two members of the empire. I, as a pillar of the empire, can’t easily go over this issue, so I’m thinking of declaring war on one kingdom.”

“Declare war!!!!!!”

“You want a war!!!!”

I hear the voices of the aristocrats in astonishment.

That’s why honor is so important to the nobility. To the extent that an aristocrat without honor could only die.

“However, it is something that should be avoided for the innocent people to suffer because of a single person’s mistake. If the Crown Prince is given sufficient punishment, we will reap the declaration of war.”

A carrot with the tip of a whip.

Now, it’s up to you whether or not to catch this carrot. However, at the end of the whip, the only thing left for the colt who rejects carrots and runs amok is to slaughter.

Horse meat melts! Of course, the horse meat we are talking about here is horse meat (one kingdom).

Will you abandon the crown prince or will you perish?

I don’t know if he chooses death to protect his honor, but there is no such thing as honor in the war that takes place due to this incident.

“……The story of the 3rd prince is like that. If I were to say that the witness on this side is about the crown prince, but since he is unconscious right now, I can’t testify, so I’ll ask for your opinion first. Is there anyone?”

“I would like to request a comment”

“Count Transformation. Permission to speak.”

He spoke with a slightly leaky pronunciation, so someone said it, and it was the count who I had beaten and shaken off the corn earlier.

To stand up for the crown prince’s defense even in this situation, it seems like he is from that faction. It’s almost at the level of confirmed death.

“I understand what the 3rd Prince wants to say. But there is something a bit dubious about.”

“What is it?”

“Why is His Highness running such a shop? Didn’t he anticipate this situation and use it as an excuse to start a war with a kingdom?”

To be honest, it’s a compulsion.

This guy was nothing more than a forcible accusation that he didn’t like me and that he had to side with the Crown Prince.

If you get entangled in a conversation like this, it’s just dogfighting. It is here that the nobility is only a beast with some manners.

“It’s suspicious from the beginning. Isn’t it because there is a reason why a person who is a member of the ten continents and a member of the royal family runs a shop?”

“Ah, so it’s a war?”

“Yes?!”

“If you twist it, let’s go to war”

By the way, even in the worst case, I am the only one who will be fighting on this side.

Won! War over!

In the end, these guys have no choice but to be merged into the Empire after all the military forces are left behind.

By the way, if you participate a lot, Seon and I will join. Ah, what is it? Some nerf.

“It looks like you’re losing your mind because the continent’s peace is getting longer, but it’s me who’s asking you to avoid war right now?”

Don’t forget

You are not the only ones who have built up national power while peace has been prolonged.

The empire that occupied half of the continent also had enough national power to fight the countries of the other half of the continent. In addition, I have three people in the current continental ten rivers.

“It’s the crown prince who started the fight first, and it’s the one who was insulted, but you’re going to kick the one that gave you a chance to avoid war?”

“That……..”

“Don’t forget. If you’ve heard my rumors, you’ll know that I’m an idiot compared to the Crown Prince. I’m the one who half killed and dethroned the empress who assassinated my mother that day. I’m enduring war because I think war is serious, but what?”

“………..”

Countess Transfiguration was crushed as it was. He couldn’t stand the harsh gazes of the nobles around him and my murder.

Seeing him sitting in a cold sweat, other nobles whispered and mocked him.

“There is some point in what the 3rd prince said, but the behavior over there seems to be that they want to avoid war.”

“Besides, I thought the crown prince’s wretch personality would cause a big problem someday…”

“Tsk tsk, you should look at the opponent and make pointless quibbles in order to side with your faction.”

“In the yard where Duke Wenryong, the biggest powerhouse of the Crown Prince’s faction, is also silent.”

The momentum was completely tilted, and my opinion was gaining the upper hand. No, it’s natural that I’m going to come out with a red flag in the first place, or I’m the top.

And then, the last card to put an end to this incident arrived at the council hall.

“Excuse me!!!!!!”

Familiar voice. The guy who was cooking ramen with Sun at my booth at the academy showed up here.

“This is Zeon Hark who brought the message from the Rurikies Department Head!!!!”
