I Favor the Villainess
106. Interest adjustments
"It's been a while, Claire. It's good to see you again."
It was the former Chancellor of the Kingdom of Bauer, Saras-Lilium, who said so by pasting a thin smile.
This is the scene of the revolutionary government.
Lady Claire and I came here to coordinate interests with the Revolutionary Government and the Interim Government.
Master Claire is not a representative of the extraordinary government, but she is the daughter of Mr. Dollar.
In addition, now Master Claire is a man of the hour.
Neither the Interim Government nor the Revolutionary Government can ignore Lady Claire.
"Let the past flow into the water. I hope we can have fruitful discussions with each other."
……
Suras asked Master Claire to shake his hand.
Lady Claire responded with a hard look.
Behind Suras is a line of soldiers from the revolutionary government, mainly his private soldiers, some of whom look like Lily.
I can't do anything nasty.
Ara and Irvine seemed absent.
Perhaps Suras is partitioning the political practice.
"What are the demands of the revolutionary government?
In the meantime, Master Claire cut it out.
"You're going to talk a lot faster, aren't you? Aren't these negotiations supposed to start with plain sight?
"We don't know each other, do we? It's better to talk fast."
There is a spark between the two as soon as possible.
This negotiation is overwhelmingly more advantageous for Suras.
No matter how experienced Claire has been in politics as the daughter of a finance minister, her opponent is Saras, who was at the forefront of politics as the prime minister of a nation.
There was a risk that politicians could unilaterally interact with each other when they had a spontaneous exchange.
As Claire put it in the middle of the straight ball, it is for not passing the lead.
"Well, fine. This request is simple. Abolition of aristocracy, and making sovereignty civilian."
That was to say, overshadowing the way this country is from the ground up.
"Wasn't the people's demand for a return to kingdom?
"At first it was. But the people noticed. This is your chance to get involved in politics."
That was also the goal that the civilian movement was ideal for.
I found it ironic that the civilian movement, which ends in a civil-oriented policy initiated by His Majesty Rosseille, came to fruition in the move to come here and take sovereignty away from the Crown.
"Did you think that would make sense?
"If you don't get through, it's until you get through. Whatever."
I won't quit armed beeping in the dark either, Saras says.
"There's an army in the interim government, isn't there?
"The number is higher here. And here's the big deal."
"Are you going to tell the people to die for good?
"I won't say that, and it's only the army that kills the people."
In fact, some of the Revolutionary Army are mixed up with those of the Nah Empire.
The noble soldiers, who were restrained by Master Claire's solemnity of discipline, also seem to be joined by some %.
In addition, civilians are overwhelming on numbers.
Some of them will be able to use some magic.
The power of the revolutionary army is not insulting.
What is more, there is an emotion amongst the temporary government forces to avoid pointing a blade at the people.
Because to them the people have always been a subject to protect.
Attacking an opponent to protect is like being swayed with existential significance for the military.
There's no way Suras knew about that fact.
"Suras. Isn't that what you're after?
"Saying?
"The revolution for the people is convenient to bore. You just want to be the head of power, don't you?
Suras had a cool face, too, in Lord Claire's rebellion.
"Even if that is the case, it must be that this revolution will benefit the people. As a result of the revolution, even if I was at the head of the new regime, it would be a theory of results."
Of course this is a manipulation, but so far it is difficult to break that theory.
"Please tell the dollar. Abandon my greed, and give away the place of politics for the people."
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
"It's ridiculous. The sinner stays on track."
Change of place. This is the Capitol.
With the demands of the Revolutionary Government, Lady Claire was meeting with the heads of the Interim Government.
The word above is the dollar-like line that heard the request.
"It is the thoughts of the civilians who mistook His Majesty's warmth."
"Exactly. Once here, we have to remind the civilians."
The leaders of the Interim Government verbally scolded the Revolutionary Government.
There was no such thing as a nobleman who thought of the people, only a nobleman as a ruler who looked down on them.
"But, Father. The revolutionary government has the support of the people. If we attack this unilaterally, we nobles will lose our righteousness."
"Say what. Our nobility is justice. Don't be so supportive of the people."
Even in the words of Master Claire, Master Dollar has no ears to listen to.
"Father! There's something wrong with the existence of this temporary government in the first place. The kingdom's sovereignty belongs to the royal family. Why are you doing politics instead of royalty?
"No matter, you're not going to go on like this with us forever, Claire"
Master Dollar went on in such a tone as to say to the deaf child.
"But Master Sein is still young. The only way to survive this dilemma is for us aristocrats to take our skin off."
"Then all you have to do first is reign in Lord Sein and set up a prime minister from among the members of the House of Lords!
"Claire, you don't have time for that. Rebellion of civilians to eruption of Sassal volcano...... That requires a fire."
"Father..."
I'm sure Master Claire knows.
Everything Master Dollar says has just taken care of the upper edge.
They are not going to let go of power.
"So how does the interim government intend to respond?
"Demands immediate suspension of demonstrations and immediate dissolution of revolutionary government and
"Oh no... if we don't walk a little from here, we'll have a collision!?
"That's the time. I don't mean to hurt the people, but I can't do it to restore order."
In the words of the Dollar, the aristocrats present also nod.
Master Claire continued to persuade diligently.
"Originally, the policy of raising taxes issued by the extraordinary government began. Can't you at least take that down?
"I can't. The effects of the eruption are enormous. Reconstruction costs money."
"Then don't nobles have to take the initiative to cut themselves off?
"Isn't it hanging up? Tax increases include aristocracy."
But that tax rate is no different from that of the civilian population.
The impact is greater on the livelihoods of the civilian population.
"Father...... You're a nobleman with a people, aren't you?
No, noble people.
Hearing the words of the out-of-the-box dollar, the color of disappointment spreads across Claire's face.
I can't talk about it.
"Tell the Revolutionary Government. Give me a minute."
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
"Ray said it was difficult to stand around, but this is not difficult..."
Dorm's own room.
When Lady Claire groaned, she fell into bed.
"The grooves on both sides are too deep. What a real place to drop this......?
It's unusual for a mean Lady Claire to cry.
That's how difficult it is to negotiate.
"Maybe not, but in that case -"
"I know. It would be a military collision, wouldn't it? That's all we need to avoid...... Ray, hey."
Lady Claire invited me.
What is it?
"Also ~ ~ ~! Big adults don't just say wagamama ~ ~!"
I was hugged close and thoughtfully hugged as it was.
It is still a pillow.
"Lady K, Claire, I'm glad, but it's painful"
"Ki ~ ~!
I was toyed with as it was for about three minutes.
I'm soiled... gushu... eheh.
"Negotiations have just begun. Let's go sticky."
"Right. Ray, I'm thirsty. Make me some tea."
"Yes, sir."
I followed Lady Claire's words and headed to the cooking room.
"Well, I'm sorry for Lady Claire... but it doesn't matter how sticky she is."
And so on, whining.
