A roar sounded and the office shook.

"Phew."

Everyone indoors paid attention to Kinosuke, who was wiping his sweat with a refreshing smile.

"Nah..."

Looking alternately at the flipped desk and Kinosuke, both enemies and allies are solidified.

Someone used to say that. "Pens are stronger than swords," he said.

If the pen is the strongest contradiction, what will be the strongest shield?

Kim Noisuke thought. What is the strongest shield bouncing the pen?

I saw the tragedy in front of me. Speak of the mighty, couldn't they have struck out the desk? Yes, I mean......

"Was the strongest shield still a desk?"

Kiyonosuke nods with a regular face. Those around me wanted to say, "That's something different," but no one could.

"Well, the First Prince's... who is it?

"And it's a ton of glass."

"Prince Tonglas. Quick, but can you give me the key to get through during the trial?

…………

The first prince could not even move to the nearest Kinosuke. Completely atrophied.

What can I do to someone whose strength far outweighs me and whose power does not work?

"Ma, wait! I want it too..."

Bachin and a grand noise sounded, and the cheeks of the First Prince were stretched out.

As for Kinosuke, I did enough to relieve him, but the first prince's face swelled to the point where the blow now doubled.

"You're the one who made me attack my sister's share, aren't you? You'll get plenty of that later, so be prepared. First the key. You better get it out while you can. I'm mad at you."

Scary. Yes, the First Prince thought. Only one blow swelled my face and blocked my vision. Besides, there was still damage to the core of the body. My legs are trembling and I'm about to fall off my knees.

How can I counter this violent existence...... no, I can't fight it myself. I need someone to help me...... That's what Prince I thought. He saw Chief Minister Ejuin of the belly taking refuge in the corner.

The First Prince begged with his eyes to help him out of this situation.

President Ejuin bowed his head respectfully as he took a step forward in front of Kim Noisuke.

"Thank you very much for saving us from the tyranny of the First Prince."

"Become..."

Chief Minister Ejuin snorted hunchingly at the First Prince trying to protest.

"You're our enemy, aren't you? At least we shouldn't have been on our side."

"There is no annihilation either. I had no choice but to follow. At any rate, the first prince ruled the royal palace and the king's capital was under the control of Lord Black Dog. For me, the path to life was nothing but to lay low and obey. My loyalty has been directed only to the new king, who will stand with his predecessor from the beginning."

"... I can't trust you?

"... then give me proof"

Chief Minister Ejuin went before the close guards and roughed up his voice.

"Here comes justice. From now on, the Royal Palace will enter the selection of the new king. Anyone who interrupts it must be a renegade. Give your neck to the truncating table, and turn your teeth only to those who want to be stigmatized by traitors in all of your families."

That was the presence that reigned at the apex of his subordinates.

Chief Prime Minister Ejuin drank it, and many of the soldiers threw away their swords.

"He who hath put his sword upon the chosen one more than this shall be an enemy unto the last generation. I'll leave it to you now. Come on, what's up? Be clear if you want to drool your head or offer your neck."

I didn't think he was an old man.

But all the soldiers were stiff as if struck by thunder, and all threw their swords away, and knelt on the spot.

"I think this is a testament to our loyalty."

Finally, Chief Minister Ejuin broke his knee to Eileen, leaving none of the forces hostile to this occasion. Except for the First Prince......

"Yeah.... so where are the keys?

Kinosuke grabbed the chest of the first prince and poked the tip of the first prince's nose. The first prince glances wide behind him, bleeding heavily from his nose.

"Buh, uh... me"

Blood must have gone down my throat. Blood is overflowing and pharyngeal from the gobbles and mouth.

"Ahem? Can't you hear me?

The first prince pointed to his chest. I'm putting something on my neck.

"Hmm? Is this... Tamaki?

"That's the key to opening and closing between trials."

Governor Ejuin replied instead.

"Really?

"I don't know that much either, but speaking of which, the door had the same indentation."

Lyudmila replied as she remembered.

"All right, then, let's go during the trial."

"You're a trial ritual. At any rate, let's call a lot of officers. Because that's what I'm learning."

"Really?

"Well, I don't know how it works, but the god of cards makes the test visible to those who gather."

"Heh."

"Gentlemen, gather the civilians during the trials. Now, him!

The soldiers rose up as if they had been bounced, and rushed straight away.

"Let's go to the lookout first."

Chief Minister Ejuin will lead the way.

"I don't know what to do with the rest of this guy... but he's the one who chases the weak girl around. I don't know what else to do."

The first prince kept Kiyonosuke's joints off his legs so that he could not escape.

"Civilians will be gathered soon, too. It's only a few moments until then, but I know we should get ready for the trial."

Chief Minister Ejuin drooled his head and said that.

"... what are you ready for? Or what do you do with trials?

"A selector is to be tried with a king candidate, but only one is to be brought with him who assists the king, the so-called king. And the selector takes the test from the god of cards. At the same time, the king's candidate and the king's samurai take that test. Like that."

"Yeah, I'm not sure. In the meantime, the selector's Irene, right? Isn't the king's candidate Lyudmila? Who's Wangzo?

"That's... I'm going to have Kinosuke do it"

"It's me......... why, me?

"Simply because trials are dangerous. A cardi hunter would do the job."

"Uh, somehow I get it. Is Cardy coming out?"

"Exactly. It depends on the chooser."

"Hmm?... so what are we gonna do about it?

Kinosuke gently pointed to Chief Minister Ejuin.

"You should decide the king first. He's the one in real power now. I will stand up to the king, and I will send him to the truncator according to the law."

"Yeah, that's okay. I got it."

"The high ranking civilians in the castle seem to be in full swing."

Twenty or so civilians were gathered in the lookout room.

Some are young and old.

Funny thing is, we all don't know what's going on and we're all horny.

I can't seem to hide my confusion that this castle, which has always been under the heavens of the First Prince, has changed at some point.

"Dear Selector, please unlock the key between trials"

"Okay."

When Eileen inserted the jade seal into the indentation of the door, a rattling, heavy noise sounded and the key came off.

Inside the door was a small space. A pedestal is tucked in the back.

"Put a self (self) card for three over there and you'll be all set. Then no one will be disturbed anymore. To no one until the new king stands or not, it is settled."

"Well, let's do it fast."

"Yes, then from me"

Eileen placed her self-card on the pedestal.

Then the pedestal glowed and Eileen's self-card was transcribed on the wall.

No particularly important information has been written. Name and age, gender, race…… and marked as a Selector.

"It's over. Next up is the king's candidate. Sister Lyudmila."

"Ah, oh... ok"

"No... before that"

Kinosuke reached out softly and grabbed the wrist of the man who was about to stab Lyudmila's back.

".................. Huh!?

Gently more than a sneak, Lyudmila was targeted from behind by a man in a black costume wearing a mask.

The mask looked familiar.

"The Berfeldt family!

Lyudmila's fierce reprimand flies.

"Looks like you've come confused by a civilian. Whose paycheck is that? What are your intentions in targeting the King's candidate over this period?

Kim Noisuke put his strength into his hands.

Mekki mekki mekki......

The man's wrist is crushed. A clenched knife spilled out of his hand, hitting the floor and sounding stiff.

Kim Noisuke grips harder. Blood falls from the edge of the black coat. My wrist was crushed.

Kiyonosuke is not going to give up.

"Say it now! Whose paycheck is that? Or do you want the rest of your hands?

When Kim Noisuke said so, the man raised his hand that he seemed to finger someone differently.

Faster than that was done, Chief Minister Ejuin shouted.

"Ionis, go!

One of the assembled clerks rushed up.

He dived the door and put out his self-card in front of the pedestal.

"Around..."

The moment I tried to put my card on the pedestal, Lyudmila's sword slashed off the wrist of a young civilian known as Ionis.

The assembled civilians became noisy. I didn't know the sword would wave in the gaze room. And between trials.

No, more than that, assassination and... running out?

The civilians saw Chief Minister Ejuin.

Chief Minister Ejuin looked "unsuccessful".

"This young man was your Lord's grandson, Ejuin. How dare you kill me, and plot to set your own grandson on the king in that gap?"

"Speaking of which, that's what the masked guys who caught you said."

With one arm missing and Ionis kicking around the floor rolling, Lyudmila stuffed up with Chief Minister Ejuin.

"Hey, what are you talking about?

"Detain him! The sin of giving instructions to his own grandchildren and interrupting the king's trial is heavy."

Even though he lived dispersed in the city well, Lyudmila is a rooted royalty.

The art of moving people is no worse than that of Chief Minister Ejuin.

The soldiers took immediate action on the current words and detained Chief Minister Ejuin and Ionis.

"No, I thought it was cooperative, but were you after this? Sure, once you register, you can't get in the way of whoever it is, but it would still be hard to break through the trials without the help of the selectors."

He dropped off Chief Minister Ejuin and his grandson, who will be brought out, and Lyudmila so monologued.

"That's a lot of trouble. Let's do it without interrupting."

"Oh...... then I'll do it next"

Lyudmila finished her registration, and finally Kim Noisuke placed her card.

Three cards float up on the wall, on which it is written the Selector, the King's Candidate, and the King's Saddle.

Then the pedestal sinks. Then a staircase appeared descending downstairs.

"Stairs?"

"Only those who register can go downstairs. Otherwise, we're told that if someone else goes, they'll be struck by lightning and die."

"Another elaborate trick... So will you come? Elev, I asked you to come after me."

"… (Cochlear)"

The Kinosukes went down the stairs to be tested.
