Continental Hero Senki

The incident came to a close on 5 September.

"That's why Sarah's order to return to the army is here. Tomorrow is the end of my long vacation."

If I were an Indochist, it would be unbearable to end a vacation that lasted more than two weeks, albeit under house arrest. But Sarah is one way or another an outdoorsman, and rather, it might be a good thing her vacation is over.

but Sarah's reaction was a little unexpected.

"Phew...... I miss you."

"Lonely?"

"Yep. 'Cause I was on vacation with Julia the whole time. Don't you think I'm gonna miss not being able to do that?

I see. Sure there could be that.

"Well, from now on, don't demand a proper vacation from the regimental leader. That way you might enjoy shopping with Julia and Her Highness Emilia."

"Fine, that. Then go out with Yuzef."

"I'll do it right."

Well, if the inspector and the counselor take a vacation together, the affairs will be delayed, and I don't think we'll ever take a vacation together. But when I say that, let's make the Japanese expression "do good" because she may not be on vacation.

"So, I don't know how this happened, but there's an explanation, right?

"... do I have to?

"Of course."

Right?

Hmmm... I don't have a problem talking to you, but you're going to lose your liking because you've done all the sick things...

"You know this incident is a political attack by the Grand Duke against His Highness Emilia, right?

"I know. That's why I ran away."

Yes. Sarah ran away and was not caught by the police department. Think of it, the Grand Duke might have lost at this point.

I wish I had secured her stature before tailoring her to the killer.

"And use Mr. Henrik, a princess policeman, to make him investigate the case. By this the Grand Duke aimed to cause discord within the princess and to incite distrust among the princess nobles"

"But you failed, didn't you? Because of Yuzef."

"Will you stop saying that 'cause'..."

Looks like you've done something wrong. No, I don't think so myself.

"I did it - no, if I may be precise, I proposed it, and His Highness Emilia approved it and implemented it through the cooperation of Mr. Maya and Radek - with the counter-economic blockade of the Duke's territory, spreading the Grand Duke's bad reputation, and finally, catching the 'killer'" "

"The culprit...?

"Yeah. The killer. Well, shall we explain that later, in turn? Maybe it's easier to understand."

"Huh? How could you explain it so easily to others?

………… Maybe not.

After putting the odd time aside, Sarah hastened just by her eyesight to say "say it quickly," so I keep explaining.

"... er, let's start with the effects of the first reverse economic blockade. This is the territory of the Duke of Krakowski, where the size of the economy, albeit a noble territory, contests one or two in the kingdom. If tax revenues from here are interrupted, the center will be confused. This is good, right?

When I hear that, Sarah snorts. All right, all right, if you ask her in detail, she's going to be able to explain it clearly.

I learned in a letter from Ilia Randowska, the daughter of Baron Randowski, an internal script who had an idea of what was going on behind Wang Du's mess and who gets tongueless when he gets drunk as a friend of His Highness Emilia. Says,

"I can't help but call it a comedy to honor the royalty of the King's capital. Especially the Grand Duke was hilarious. Rumor has it the Grand Duke can no longer handle the work of the Chancellor because of his push on the Chancellery all night long."

Apparently. And even.

"Baron Gurshka, the financial script that marked neutrality, said he made a statement defending His Highness Emilia at the birthday party of one of the noble daughters. I don't know exactly what he said, but he's seen as a princess in the king's capital. Other neutrals can't hide their distrust of the Grand Duke, but what the hell did Yuzef do?

One last word is superfluous, but thanks to this reverse economic blockade, and the bad words of the Grand Duke flowing into the city well, he succeeded in considerably cutting down the Grand Duke's forces. Most importantly, the wind against His Highness Emilia, who imposed such a rough thing as a counter-economic blockade, seems to be getting stronger...

Well, this is what His Highness Emilia was prepared for at the time she gave me "permission" for my operation. I can't help it now.

"The reverse economic blockade disrupted the nobility of the Wang capital to make the noble lords around the Duke's territory passive with the Grand Duke's bad reputation. This is the first thing I've done."

"I see. So, what's the last 'killer'? I'm supposed to be the killer in this case, right?

"Yeah. There was also a chance that just sharpening the power of the Grand Duke aristocracy would not de-appoint Sarah. Even if it was finally dismissed, Henrik, who was in charge of the case, could have been punished for" being danced to false evidence to arrange the nomination of an innocent person. "

I still don't have many allies, Your Highness. That's why I couldn't abandon the Duke of Rosenstock house. Maybe Grand Duke Carroll could have kept the Duke Rosenstock family under his own forces in exchange for Mr. Henrik's help. That way this battle will be pain-splitting and practically His Highness Emilia's judgment loss.

We will try to restore Sarah's honor while sparing Mr. Henrik from punishment. And if possible, I want to make a blow to the Grand Duke.

That's why I used Ensign Paderevski, who made up the evidence.

"What we did through Ensign Paderevski is simple. 'This evidence was fabricated! So Major Marinovska is not the killer! I declared,' and I started an investigation to find out who fabricated the evidence."

"... well, surely that Paderevski guy made up the evidence, didn't he?

"Am I right?

…………

Sarah looks like, "What are you talking about, this guy?" I don't think I've seen this in a long time. This look.

"The man who ordered Ensign Paderevski to fabricate the evidence, probably the National Police Commissioner, is the real killer."

"... any proof that he did it?

"I don't think so. It's just circumstantial evidence. But I'm going to ask Mr. Ilia to move to the Interior Ministry's Security Police Department. I think we'll have results in a few days."

You're doing something wrong while I'm at it, I don't even think about it.

The National Police Commissioner himself may have had no choice but to instruct the Grand Duke to fabricate evidence. Ensign Paderevski and I are in the same position in terms of what I said.

And the evidence isn't solid enough to hold the Grand Duke accountable. Too much pursuit of responsibility on that would jeopardize the credibility of the organisation itself: the National Police Service. The National Police Service is a police mechanism for ordinary criminals in this country, unlike the Political Secret Police, which is the Security Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior. There is also a risk that the overall policing capacity within the Kingdom will be reduced if the National Police Service tries to lose its authority.

The National Police Service is also supposed to be the organization of the Chancellery, but its constituents are human beings, or military personnel, contributed by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the human rights lie with the Ministry of Military Affairs.

And the arrested man is sent to court and judged by law.

If we are serious about pursuing our responsibilities vis-à-vis the National Police Service, it could extend not only to the National Police Commissioner, but also to the Chancellery, which has jurisdiction over the National Police Service, to the Ministry of Military Affairs, which has personnel rights, and to the Ministry of Justice, which has responsibility for the administration of justice.

Regardless of the Chancellor, Grand Duke Carol, the military pronouncement is currently neutral in the intracourt struggle, and the legal pronouncement is princess. I can't turn the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Justice on the enemy, even though I don't know if I can hold Grand Duke Carroll accountable.

So it is the mountain of Sekiyama who holds the unnamed National Police Commissioner accountable. I believe that is the best way to defend the political position of Sarah and Mr Henrik, and His Highness Emilia, and to minimize the damage done to the princess.

At present, there is neither a reverse economic blockade nor the spread of rumors. The operation is already in its final stages, and it is already known to citizens that Sarah's nomination arrangements have been lifted by the hands of Mr. Henrik and Ensign Paderevski, and that the Commissioner of Police has been charged with fabricating evidence.

And then it's just a matter of time.

I wonder if Sarah will understand.

No, you might be happier if you didn't understand. I thought she would be disgusted with me for doing such a villain thing with a straight sense of justice. That's why I didn't like to explain it.

After dozens of seconds, Sarah finally opened her mouth. I was wondering what kind of cursing noise would pop up and fists would fly out again, but it was unexpected that it came out.

"... thanks"

When Sarah said so, she gently poked me in the chest with her weakly gripped fist.
