Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Preparations for the decisive battle with the demon are steadily progressing. It was clear what to do. In this case, the civil servants of the Grand Flam Kingdom have the power to steadily advance this.

However, this, and the fact that it will take some time before the decisive battle, has raised another problem to the public's awareness. It's Rion's problem.

The king had put off giving priority to the genie, and the people had taken it for granted, but this is no longer the case. It was talked about in various situations.

Even so, the contents are gradually moving in a dubious direction.

"I have one suggestion for Viscount Frey."

At the regular meeting, the Prime Minister began to talk. As expected, it is impossible to let the Prime Minister know the truth. The recommendation of the Prime Minister must be based on knowing who Rion is.

"……What?"

The king is tired of knowing that the prime minister has finally put Rion on the agenda.

"I think we should have a new mate"

"Huh?"

The king did not think that such a story would come out of the Prime Minister's mouth.

"We have selected some suitable people. We have prepared the materials so that we can finally select His Majesty."

In fact, the Prime Minister seemed to be preparing materials for Rion's bride candidate, and presented a bundle of paper to the king.

"Wait a minute. Viscount Frey already has a wife.

"So I said new."

"... what is it?"

The King has no idea what the Prime Minister intended.

"Currently Viscount Frey is the daughter of a former Winheal family. This is a problem."

"... the relationship with the Winheels is broken"

The Prime Minister's idea was understood by the King as well. He says that it is undesirable for Leon to be connected to the house. The King of the Kings is well aware of Marquis Winheel's doting on Aeriel. The concern of the Prime Minister is far from wrong.

But the King also knows the relationship between Rion and Eriel. Separating only buys more grudges.

"Can I stay a sinner forever? I think this is also a problem."

"that is……"

The Prime Minister has pointed out difficult points. I want to erase Eriel's sin. But doing so also acknowledges the mistakes of the kingdom. The king cannot respond to the Prime Minister's opinion.

"It is widely believed by the public that the punishment of both Vincent Woodville and Viscount Frey was a false accusation. I think it will help restore trust. ''

Suspicion of the royal family and the royal family among the people was triggered by the punishment of Vincent and Eriel. Rion's success caught the heart of the crowd, and Vincent, the master of Rion, and Eriel, who became his wife, gained a reputation. The bad reputation of the royal family and the royal family is getting worse in inverse proportion.

The best way to deal with this situation is to remove the roots of bad publicity.

The explanation of the Prime Minister will shake the king's feelings.

"But ..."

Despite his hesitation, the King's hand extends to the material presented by the Prime Minister. I did not make a decision, but I was curious to see what kind of woman the Prime Minister chose.

"... I'm serious, Prime Minister?"

The king's hand has stopped at the point where he saw the first piece.

"I chose the best woman"

"Is it too problematic? Maria Theodor is the person who killed Vincent."

The top of the materials prepared by the Prime Minister was Maria. Even if he is not the king, he doubts the Prime Minister's sanity.

"Her home has no power. This is the first reason. When Viscount Frey and her marriage happen, the people will see it as a sign of reconciliation and the rumors will disappear. Eyes "

"And if the marriage rumors spread to people, Rion's reputation will fall to the ground. Is this the third?"

Prince Arnold, silently listening, was interrupted. Indeed, I couldn't keep silent.

"... for the Crown Prince"

If Rion abandons Airiel and marries Mary, people take it betrayal. The more popular today, the stronger the rebound. If so, Prince Arnold's reputation will not fall any further. This is even more so if Leon is known to be a royal family. It would be considered a priority for the royal status.

"Even if it works for me, it doesn't work for our country."

"that is……"

The Prime Minister mistakenly believes that it is better for the country to make Rion king than to himself. In response to the Prime Minister's reaction, Prince Arnold quickly realized a misunderstanding.

"Don't get me wrong. As the next king, I'm going to make this country better than it is now."

"Is that so?"

"Lion loss is a loss for our country."

"... Do you lose?"

This is where the minister is misled. The Prime Minister believes that knowing that he was a royal family would have sparked a thought for the royal family in Rion. It is a country where your parents rule. That would be natural.

But Lion has no love for his family in the first place. There is no memory loved. For Rion, only Eriel loves her. Airiel is the only family in this world.

"Once I know this story, I think it will disappear somewhere. After that, I'm going to my destination, but I can't guarantee that it's not the Kingdom of Merica."

There is no guarantee. If you heard that Lion had left the Grand Flam Kingdom, the Kingdom of Merica would not let go.

"Then ..."

"If you just lose, you'll lose, but if you turn it on your enemies, it's already a disaster. I won't tell Rion to do anything. I think "

"... it tastes bad"

After hearing the story of Prince Arnold, the Prime Minister was frowned upon.

"Maybe it has already moved?"

"No, the nation is nothing. But we are not the only ones who want to work with Viscount Frey."

The reputed Prince and the second son, who is excellent and popular. There are many who are trying to weigh. In particular, nobles who do not have the chance to see the positive eyes when Prince Arnold becomes the next king may be willing to take a bet.

This is how we know Leon's identity. No matter how much the king denied, the struggle for succession had already begun. Despite not wanting them at all.

"... people are greedy and stupid."

Prince Arnold muttered as he was amazed.

"Don't think about that for the Crown Prince."

"But it is."

"Even so, if you despise a person and why should you stand on it? People are stupid. That's why they need a guide, and that is His Majesty the King."

"... That's right. Thank you. Keep these words in mind."

"Yes"

The Prime Minister, who heard the words of Prince Arnold, seems satisfied. At least the next king will accept the words of his ministry and thank him for giving it. Regardless of Ichii's reputation, he still felt that the prince had excellent qualities.

"Let's go back. Do you know who is in contact with Rion?"

"I haven't been able to figure it out. Our intelligence department is not yet in a state where it can do its job."

"Really……"

The problem with the intelligence department not functioning is not just foreign intelligence. Domestic espionage has also been affected. Now this is a bigger problem.

For the kingdom, the great nobles represented by the lords are not reliable, even if they are minions. Fear of rebellion has existed at all times, and there have been several actions in the past. The trend must be closely monitored.

And now, it is a situation that greatly stimulates their ambitions. The reputation of the royal family was widespread among the people, and there were flagships worthy of carrying.

It is not surprising that the minister wants to separate Rion from Eriel.

"I'm sending people to Bandhu on this matter. I'll get some information."

As the meeting took place in a dark atmosphere, the commander of the Guard Knight opened his mouth.

"Is that from the Knights of the Guards?"

The Knights of the Guards is an organization unrelated to intelligence. It is natural that the Prime Minister wonders.

"Yes, I let Sol Alistess go."

"that is……"

The Prime Minister also knows Sol. There is also a story that he is severely depressed after being left by Lion.

"Is there a fool who gives up because he was left behind? If you don't chase yourself without being told by others, you can't follow Viscount Frey."

"Somehow, like a love story"

"It's similar. Rion Frey is such an annoying person."

"So that's it"

"While speaking out to politicians, as the Crown Prince suggests, I don't think Viscount Frey should be impatient."

"I understand that, but the movements of the others."

"Viscount Frey is not a person who can be moved by others. Well, I can't deny that the aristocrats who tried to do it could be carried in the opposite way, but well, that's fine."

"... Please tell us the grounds?"

"I told the bandu people to do what I needed to do, and I think it was directed at us. It is our priority now to remove the threat of the demon. If you're going to wake up, you'll take the bandeaus home. ''

"Dare you as a hostage?"

This is a misunderstanding. Leon had no intention of involving Cassis in his revenge. If the cassis is trying to raise Bandu's position on their own, they just think it should be taken care of. It is true, however, that Rion has nothing to do at this point. From the beginning, Rion was waiting for the game story to end. Plus, with this, Rion needed time to think slowly.

"What is that?"

The king comes into the story with a disgruntled voice.

"What's happen?"

"The Commander Knight knows Leon better than I do."

"... Do you say that now?"

When he is worried about Leon, the king, who speaks about his father's sentiment, shows that he is truly stunned.

"The time spent is different."

"Isn't that different?"

"I was together from Band 一 to the royal capital for about a month. Even though it was awkward, I also liked chatting.

"Is it?"

"Speaking of these things, the Prime Minister may be worried again, but I also know that it attracts people. Viscount Frey shows a different look at different times. It looks hot, cold, gentle, kind, unfriendly, and friendly. The difference in eye color may reflect that duality. "

"……Really"

The difference in the color of the eyes has caused the present situation. If Leon was not an odd eye, he would not have been thrown away and had been raised as a second prince. But in that case, Prince Frey would have been a different person from Rion today.

Rion is the first person with two people, Frey, who grew up in a favela, and Ryo, who grew up in a different world. I don't think that Frey, who was raised as a prince, had the same abilities.

Those who don't know it simply regret that Rion was an odd eye.

◇◇◇

It is, of course, three Marias who are shocked more than anyone who has revealed Rion's identity.

Lancelot is particularly upset. Lancelot has a fatal failure, unlike the other two. An attempt to assassinate Rion. Elwin has tried, but fortunately, he failed to chase Rion and has yet to reach the raid. But Lancelot is different. In the end, the truth is unknown because no one has returned, but he knows he was undoubtedly returning to Leon. It is clear from the battle of Rion that the apprentices are not opponents in a bunch.

Moreover, this is not the only attempted assassination. He is working to instill some of the story that Leon is a demon, and to help him to defeat him on the battlefield. This is a form that was successfully used by Golan, a real demon, but that could be considered a help to the demon.

Attempted assassination of the royal family. Lancelot knows that this is as bad a crime as state treason. When things are revealed, what is waiting is a public execution.

And there is no way to avoid this in Lancelot. Rather than relying on Prince Arnold, he is not the one who leaks a word. Then, when it comes to your home, this is not a reliable person.

The queen is from the House of Axmia. In other words, Rion is also a person connected to the Axmia House. Lancelot knows that Marquis Axmia is working hard to find a way to get Rion, who is extremely popular among the people, into his own home. Even Lancelot has been asking him to deepen his relationship with Leon.

If he knows he's trying to kill Leon, his next head will definitely blow away. It's no wonder that they are killed unnoticed. If you are the head of the Hou family, you will do so much care to protect your home.

In Lancelot now, there is no way to do it, just pray that things will not be revealed. That is also the pity of asking Rion, who he is. It wouldn't be much better if you could develop your relationship as your father ordered. Of course not.

And another one. Elwin was upset by Lancelot, but after that his feelings were quite different. In fact, Elwin has almost never met Rion. When it comes to conversation, it's as if you avoided the greeting. In the case of Vincent and Aeriel, they are involved, but their names are not officially stated. There is no awareness that he is the most resentful of the three.

Elwin's case is different from Lancelot. The only successor to the Winheels is Elwin. In this situation, it was salvation that Rion was a royal family. If a child is born between Rion and Aeriel, the child will be raised as a royal family. It does not threaten Elwin's seat. On the contrary, with Lion being a royal family, Elwin was more than happy to confirm his position.

The only worrisome thing is what to do when Prince Arnold and Leon face a decisive conflict. There is no doubt that Lion and Airiel hated it. However, in the case of the Winheels, having Rion win will lead to his own development. It is difficult to choose which. It's a luxurious trouble that gets angry when you hear Lancelot.

However, for now, Marquis Winheel has shown no movement. He seems to be honestly trying to protect Airiel's punishment for expulsion of the Winheels. What appears to be a sloppy personality and unusually stiff in this context is where Elwin always complains of Marquis Winheel.

Then, I thought it was from the line of the dependent nobles, but even if I talked to Viscount Ustein, the leader, she just showed a brave attitude. Nothing went on.

Viscount Ustein cannot move. Leon knows that Erwin is the child of Viscount Ustein. Even now, even after being identified as royal, Viscount Ustein wants to kill Leon.

Elwin has no idea. In the end, Elwin had no choice but to look at Leon.

Finally, Maria was sorry for this situation.

Lion was actually the second prince. When I learned about this fact, she came to Mary's mind, thinking that Leon was still the best hidden character.

It is a prince who has been a missing prince in the capture character as well as a beautiful face that is mistaken for a woman, and in fact, is a missing prince.

If they were able to capture Leon, they would succeed in defeating the witch one after another, and Maria would also be praised as a hero by the people. With its achievements and popularity, the next king may have been Lion instead of Prince Arnold. No, surely. Then Mary was able to become Queen as she wished.

Of course, this is Maria's belief, but it makes Maria believe that hidden endings aren't completely impossible endings.

However, the capture of Leon failed, and the capture of Prince Arnold, who should have given priority, also failed. The game is not heading for the best happy ending.

If the genie is not resurrected, the game is a success because it is a happy ending, but Maria himself cannot be satisfied with it. For herself, the best woman, she has the highest position, the queen's seat. Maria has not given up on this.

But there is no way to get there now.

I asked Charlotte to get back to Leon. While smelling that he knows the fact that he was bullying himself. But he was clearly rejected. Even if he threatens to speak to Prince Arnold, he simply returns that he likes it. Charlotte has already told Prince Arnold the facts. Even so, the person who cares what Charlotte looks like today is Rion. Charlotte chooses to be honest with Rion, rather than being spread and despised by others. Charlotte thought that without that resolution, Leon would not be truly forgiven.

Mary now restores her relationship with Lion, which is Mary's subjectivity, no messenger to do. Rion is a territory, even if he wants to make direct contact. Maria cannot leave the royal capital long before the decisive battle with the demon.

The decisive battle with the genie is coming soon.

The final battle is near, which means the end of the game is near. But now Maria has no choice but to let the ending of the game happen.
