162 – I Hate the Empire So Much (2)

I too rejected Patrick’s straightforward offer.

“I don’t like it. Absolutely.”

“Why?”

“You can tell just by looking at Emeric that he is broken. “I am not a fool.”

Emeric gets caught up in the secret struggle of high-ranking people and gets thrown around here and there, doing nothing but being an asshole.

If I jump in there too, I’ll end up like that guy.

Perhaps he and I will become chess pieces representing each faction and be used and discarded.

You can’t go into a place where such an ending is clearly waiting.

No matter how much I try to lure him in with sweet talk and later get stabbed in the back, what can I do against Hwangseong?

“Ah, you mean the knight commander?”

Patrick laughed.

“That’s because the knight commander’s personality is so stubborn and conflicted…”

“Anyone will be like that in front of the highest powers of the empire. If you stick with them, you live, and if you reject them, you die, right?”

“Haha.”

Patrick always had a kind smile on his face.

“By that logic, does Leonard have to die now that he has rejected it?”

“Who will you die from?”

When asked, Patrick closed his mouth.

“Just because I rejected the 4th princess, you don’t think I will stick to the 3rd prince.”

“This is such a shame. It would have been great if Mr. Leonard could help.”

“Even if it’s not me, doesn’t the 4th princess have a harem?”

For the first time, Patrick’s face hardened.

For several months now, Patrick has never had a smile leave his face.

However, as soon as the 4th princess’s harem was mentioned, she stiffened like that.

“How do you know that?”

“If you’re not stupid, you can guess it. Creating a harem that has no distinction between men and women, from bottom to bottom? Isn’t that the 4th princess’s killing squad?”

“You really know a lot.”

“I guessed it. Anyway, Mr. Patrick. I’m sorry, but please tell the 4th princess. I have no interest in politics. Please, please let me live here, running a leisurely guild like this.”

“Yes, I understand. I am clear about Mr. Leonard’s position. And, in fact, we have not yet found out any details regarding the First Prince.”

“What is the 1st Prince’s situation now? To put it bluntly, isn’t she so incompetent that no one thinks of her as her successor?”

“Well, I don’t know the details of the high-ranking people’s affairs.”

You don’t want to talk, it’s difficult to talk, or you really don’t know.

Anyway, it would be difficult to get an answer if I asked again.

I got up from my seat.

“Mr. Leonard. Think about it carefully.”

Patrick said as he followed me outside.

“There is no need for Mr. Leonard to get deeply involved. It is a bit inappropriate to say this now, but I have no choice but to say it. Mr. Leonard, if you just remove the knight commander, that will be the end of it. We will take care of the rest. If you do that, the Imperial Palace We will provide you with all the benefits we can provide.”

I see.

The real goal was to eliminate Emeric.

Emeric is the strongest knight of the empire.

A swordsman with legion-level combat power and a strong aura that even magic cannot pierce.

Moreover, since the imperial knights under Emeric’s command are only a hundred, they will be an extremely difficult opponent for the 4th princess.

He was not able to seize military power to the extent of mobilizing a large army, and if he used a death squad disguised as a harem, he would lose all the fighting power he had built up against Emeric.

So, they are trying to persuade me to get rid of Emeric.

Even if I die, the princess has nothing to lose.

Then, maybe the reason Emeric kept insisting that he apologized to me was because the 4th princess turned her back on me.

Because there is a conflict with me, I want to create a situation where I can’t hold back my anger and kill you when I see your face.

However, hunting dogs that are used like that are eventually slaughtered when they are no longer needed.

“I think it would be easier and faster for the princess to recruit Emeric instead of me.”

“I see. Thank you for the advice.”

“Oh, and. You’re not going to threaten me or hold me hostage, are you?”

“Haha. That can’t be possible. Would we provoke Mr. Leonard without going crazy? “I can promise you that.”

“Thank you.”

I said goodbye to Patrick and returned to the guild.

After learning all the circumstances, I feel very sorry for Emeric.

* * * * *

A message came from Patrick.

Confirming this, the 4th princess’s maid and wizard Vera Moz immediately rushed to the 4th princess.

“I received a call from the dedicated adjutant. He said he thinks the demon hunter will have to give up.”

Upon hearing Vera Moz’s report, the 4th princess slowly smoothed her chin.

“Okay. Then what should we do with Emeric?”

“We’d rather get Emeric on our side.”

“Well, didn’t you fail last time?”

“That’s true. I told you, if you keep sending demon hunters, they won’t trust us.”

“Beramoz, you were the first to suggest using a demon hunter to kill him?”

The wizard Vera Moz silenced him.

“Hmm, if this goes on, I guess I’ll have no choice but to just turn everything over and leave?”

“Would you like to use a harem?”

“Is there a way? This problem can be solved by just killing all of the third brothers.”

“That’s a card to draw in the worst situation. Let’s save a little more. And then another message came. It’s about the 1st prince.”

“Eldest brother? What is it about?”

“The necromancy incident that took place in the duchy’s cemetery was instigated by the 1st Prince.”

“Hoo.”

A light of curiosity appeared on the 4th princess’s face.

“Really?”

“You know the necromancer named Ymer? He is from the punitive force and ran away right after controlling the stone statue of Count Rutger last time.”

“Is he the necromancer?”

“Yes. I think the 1st Prince found him himself and said that if he didn’t do as he was told, he would be put to death. He was originally a bit unintelligent and stupid. He said he was scared and made such a fuss.”

“It’s fascinating.”

4 The princess rested her chin and smiled.

“I thought my eldest brother was just a gentleman, but I guess that’s not the case? But why on earth did he ask me to do something like that? Do you understand, Beramoz?”

“I don’t know. No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure out what benefit the 1st Prince gains by raising the corpses in the principality’s cemetery.”

“First of all, I understand this. When something strange like that happens, the person who gets confused is that demon hunter from the principality.”

“If it’s to lure out a demon hunter, it’s roughly correct. But then, why did the 1st prince hire that demon hunter?”

“You have to find out about that from now on.”

“Me?”

“Okay. Who else but you?”

“Ha, that’s right. There’s no Patrick, and who else but me would suffer with the princess’s body on her behalf.”

Wizard Vera Moz sighed and opened the door to her office.

And she took a step back, embarrassed.

“First Prince… ?”

The grizzled tall 1st prince looked over Vera Moz’s shoulder at her 4th princess with an expressionless face.

“What are you doing here, big brother?”

As the 4th princess welcomed her warmly, the 1st prince spoke to her bluntly.

“Most of the people from the punitive force died.”

It was a sudden question, but the 4th princess answered without embarrassment.

“That’s right, brother. You may not have noticed because he’s been sitting back and resting recently, but he’s been dying one after another.”

“Aren’t they the best talent in the empire?”

“That’s right. But… “Why are you suddenly curious about that?”

“There are four people who survived. Demon Hunter, Knight Commander, Wizard, and Necromancer.”

The 1st prince did not answer the 4th princess’s question and said something else.

“The demon hunter is in the principality, the wizard has gone mad, and the necromancer is completely useless.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Even though she knew that the 1st prince had already contacted the necromancer, the 4th princess pretended not to know anything.

“Then only the Demon Hunter and the Knight Commander remain. Can the Knight Commander subdue the Demon Hunter?”

4 The princess quickly shook her head.

However, she couldn’t really understand the first prince’s intentions, so she shrugged.

“Well? I’m not sure either.”

“Then what about the death squad you have with you?”

“Ha?”

The 4th princess glanced at Beramoz.

Beramoz’s face turned pale as he tried to cast a spell to subdue the 1st prince.

Because she broke Vera Moz’s magic just by the First Prince raising her hand.

“What is this… ?”

Sensing that she was in an unusual mood, the 4th princess pulled out a dagger from under her desk.

However, the dagger moved on its own and came right under the 4th princess’s chin.

“Huh?!”

“Cooperate, Fourth Princess. The Great Devil will descend soon. At that time, I will hand over the throne to you.”

“W-what… ?”

“I am Resfera, a high devil. I want to eliminate demon hunters in preparation for the arrival of the great devil. So cooperate. If you cooperate, I will make you emperor.”

Resfera.

One of the corps commanders who originally assisted the Great Devil.

In the form of a thought body, it is a high-ranking evil that kills human souls and steals human bodies for its own purpose.

Immediately after the extinction of the Great Devil, he quickly possessed the body of the 1st Prince, and only now did he completely take over the body and begin to move.

At first, for the purpose of eliminating the demon hunters, they attempted to use members of a punitive force that gathered only those considered to be the Empire’s elite.

However, by the time Resfera woke up, most of them had died, the remaining necromancers had failed, and the knight commander had become a subordinate of the 3rd prince.

I tried to transfer to the 3rd prince, but it wasn’t feasible yet.

So Lesfera, who was worried about having her her her her her 3rd prince and her 4th princess, chose her her her her her 4th princess her.

Both are the same, but the 4th princess is a little more mean and cunning, and her desire for power is stronger.

I decided that if I revealed the devil’s identity and approached him, I would be able to appease him much more easily.

4 The princess has a very powerful assassination unit disguised as a harem, and if they move, she will be able to eliminate the demon hunters.

“I will support you. And I will get rid of the Third Prince by putting blood on my hands instead of you.”

The 4th princess’s eyes changed at Lesfera’s coaxing her.

It’s not because Les Pera speaks well.

The devil’s whisper.

This is because the demons’ ability to make those who communicate with the higher demons completely understand and agree with the demon’s words has been activated.

“Who is the 2nd prince?”

“That stupid guy is already dead. He hung himself in the basement of his annex. I prepared it in advance as a gift for you.”

“I see…”

4 The princess nodded her head slowly.

“Good, Mr. Devil. No, brother. It looks really good.”
