The view of Sokolov from the rooftops of the Metropolitan Defence Command is generally blackened. If the wind blows, the burnt smell drifts from somewhere. Because of the simultaneous uprising of the republicans and the grand use of fire magic to suppress it.

Neither the Presidency, where there was an arson incident, has yet been repaired or rebuilt. The Presidency, which was white and beautiful, remained a black and ugly Presidency.

When I was enjoying the view of the capital while also hitting the rooftop trunk that way, a long-sleeved woman next to me started looking at the city in the same position as me.

"Would you like an escort and an assistant to His Highness Emilia?

"It's fine. The escort and auxiliary roles are performed by Lord Sarah."

Mr. Maya did not turn around and replied only with his voice.

I mean, I don't think Sarah can help you with the escort anyway, okay? No, I guess you left the job to me because they decided you'd be okay.

"More than that, aren't you dusk?

"... no, I was just resting because I'm a little tired"

No, really, I'm tired of having a lot going on right now.

I thought a civil war broke out in a conspiracy by the Grand Duke of Carroll faction, and I didn't know it was a plot by the Eastern Empire. Unlike what we talked about when we were Grand Duke Carroll, there's also solid evidence that says it's a Republican Army Gendarmerie investigation dossier. Almost certainly. I guess it means the Grand Duke multiplied the plot of the Eastern Continental Empire rather than saying the Grand Duke planned it. And besides that, a lot more needs to be considered.

Thinking further about how to explain them to His Highness Emilia, fatigue creeps up even more...

"Phew...? Are you talking about the Lieutenant General?

"Oh, how do you know that?"

As of now, Mr. Feene is the only one who knows that. Where's the information coming from?

"It's just plausible. That's the answer. Does that mean around?

"... that's right"

To be fair, she would have answered, but I guess she was actually quite sure. I wonder if the neighborhood around His Highness Emilia understood my expression. It's time to do something and practice not putting your hidden things on your face. Why don't we ask Mr. Fine to stare at us?

When I thought about it that way, Maya said the core thing while turning a good smile over here.

"Anyway, were you worried about assassinating that man or not?

".................. does that also seem to be true?

"No, it's just a guess. For the stability of the order of the vintage dynasty, it is necessary to sweep away the old wrongs and eliminate the humans in their hands. The head of it is interim president Harha, and that man. Didn't I?"

Mr. Maya clouded his words, but it is almost certain that he is referring to that Lieutenant General de Way. Herbert Rebar is a dangerous man without having to use the massacre of Letna National Park as an example, and the public understands that. But......

"But Yuzef, you want to use that man's abilities. Is that the place?

"Ha... how do you know that? You're right."

Few people are good at conspiracy, and at times fewer have the courage to use unethical measures. Human beings who can do both are precious. Emotionally, neither the national, the republican, nor the royalist can forgive the rivalry they took in their hands, but their abilities are certain.

"Have you been thinking about it since Rebal left the fortress?

"... No, you're a little different. At first, he really tried to kill me."

"Really?

"Yep. Return the rival trusted by Harha to the Capital Defense Command (here). And get central information through him to lead the royalists to victory. It succeeded, and it actually coincided with a great victory in Sviner. And when it's all over, I'll plead guilty to Rebar. That way, we can win the civil war, and the enemy of the people, Rebel, will die, and Carlsbert will be at peace and congratulations."

"Oh my goodness..."

Maya has a slightly frightened face.

Truth is, Rebal and I are as much as we think ourselves which way is the outer road, but it's not like we don't have a conscience to blame for once. When it's all done, just use it and throw it away. If Rebal had been an extinct beauty, it would have been a blame bombing by men from all over the continent. Good, that's him in Osama.

"So, since when? I started thinking about keeping Rivals alive."

"... earlier. It was when I met with Rebal and we talked a lot."

After I got a little lost, I revealed my conversation with Rebar to Mr. Maya. Keep it a little cloudy about the parts that I kept from His Highness Emilia and others everywhere.

Maya's expression was serious. By the time I finished telling her everything, she looked like she'd soothed her face about 40% when she set up a cut into the enemy division. I mean, I'm a little scared. Mr. Maya hits me with a question with that face.

"Hmmm...... but it's something we don't even have to think about that the Eastern Continental Empire has ambitions for continental unity, etc. Isn't it natural to do something about it?

"No, in this case, it's not about the ambition of the Empire, it's about the timing."

"Timing?"

"Yes, there is no way that the Empire is moving toward it on a daily basis just because it has a unifying ambition. It costs money, it costs personnel, and it's not too much trouble. I don't normally take any specific action to eliminate nationalists in small countries. Because if the continent can't be united in the first place, it will end in a pointless conspiracy."

"But I actually did it..."

Maya's expression turned to surprise. Apparently, he understood.

This means that, at this time, actions and conspiracies are being planned in the Empire towards concrete continental unity.

Then why now? That's easy too. No Silesian knew what had happened in the Empire before the civil war broke out. There was a war, or spring war, that ends in the question of imperial succession, and the Kingdom of Silesia prevailed.

As a result, the faction centered on the Emperor of the Eastern Continent, Ivan VII, lost its authority. Instead, it was the Royal Tail nephew Sergei Romanov faction, which included the Marquis Ladygel, the famous military minister as a conspirator.

"Has the Crown Prince's nephew and others already made plans for the reunification of the continent and moved it into action?

"In my prediction, it probably is. Maybe I've been doing my prep for a long time. Even before the discovery of Ivan's grandson's pregnancy, Marquis Ladigel and I would have been quite free to move."

"Is that what it is, all at once in the Spring War..."

The fact that the Eastern Continental Empire is taking concrete action for the reunification of the continent is a worrying development. Because there is no doubt that the first casualty of that continental unity will be the Kingdom of Silesia, a small military country at the same time as it borders.

If we defend our country in the Spring War, it would be ironic to say that that would have resulted in more concerns for the continental unity of the Empire...... I know I can't help regretting that.

"I'll put the story back to the Rebel, but that's why I want to keep him alive. He knows something about the circumstances of the Empire. Even without it, you could have some kind of connection"

"I mean, he wants to keep him alive for intelligence purposes,"

"That's what I mean"

We need to find out to what extent our plans for the continental reunification of the Empire are progressing and how we can reunify them. To do this, I am hesitant to kill Rebar here. He still has value for use. But...

"But the problem is asking His Majesty Karel to grant him an amnesty, what if he did something, the people wouldn't be convinced, would they?"

"I guess. He is the enemy. Not now, and not ever. As a human pillar for the stability of the kingdom, we must at least carry out public executions"

What Mr. Maya is saying is correct. You may think that public executions are barbaric... but insisting that you have eliminated the evils of the old forces leads to stability and order in the new forces. Public execution means making witnesses for it. In this case, the Dynasty...... no, it will be a ritual indicating that the Vintage Dynasty has overthrown the evil of being a national.

Well, what's the matter?

Maya suddenly changed the subject when I was worried about holding my head.

"With that said, Mr. Yuzef. They say there are famous magicians in this capital."

"A magician?

Not a magician, a magician? What's wrong with the trick?

But with all my doubts, Mr. Maya moved on.

"At the time of the liberation of the capital, he was performing his oddities in the square in front of the presidential palace, calling it a celebration of liberation. It was funny, so I kept looking at it."

"Ha... Um, what does that have to do with..."

"One of the oddities shown at that time was the use of a truncating table (guillotine). Surprisingly, he was beheaded and pimped with only his neck."

"It's... it's probably that kind of trick..."

I remember, but the shape of the blade did change a bit, and dropping the blade seemed like something about it spinning and not cutting... All you have to do is put your neck out well on the desk and put the blood paste on properly to make it look like it... Ah.

So I finally realized.

Maya, who confirmed my palpable expression, said this in a deliberate voice.

"... What do you say, Mr. Yuzef, next time you go under me and that sorcerer?

Ten minutes later, His Highness Emilia and Sarah came to the roof. Apparently he was looking for us, but it's been a little rough for His Highness Emilia to tear up "When did Mr. Yuzef and Maya have a relationship to say that?" Mostly Sarah.
