20 Stories Prime Minister's Measures

Amanda's charm is considerably alleviated when her magic is out of reach.

Its scope extends to all of the King's Capital, but if you return the back, if she is not in the King's Capital, the effect of charm will be drastically reduced.

Of course, it wasn't released like Henry's, so if Amanda comes under her influence again, the charm will recur.

"Patrick is probably back in Count Colbourne territory"

"Perhaps? You know that and you can't capture it?

"Of course, arrangements have been made everywhere, such as in the barracks and towns. But they're not caught in that net."

"So why do you think you're headed for self-government?

I have a witness statement that I saw a carriage like that.

Those who walk the streets and the inhabitants of the town witness carriages that they think belong to the Colbourne family.

Of course, it is covered by magic, so it cannot be determined clearly, but it can still be confirmed that the noble carriage is heading from the king's capital to the Earl of Colbourne territory at considerable speed.

From the timing, there will be no mistake in what put Patrick and the others on board.

"But the guards at the barracks and the town, they don't recognize each other."

Because Amanda was fascinated.

Amanda's charm of dominating others physically and mentally by overlapping her body and exerting magic, but for a short period of time, she doesn't even have to dare dominate her body.

So I guess she's using her charm to get through where the traffic records go.

"The chasers are pointing at us, they're ambushing us on the route, but there's no sign of capture at all, and only eyewitness testimony comes up."

But as a result of the use of fascination everywhere, Wang's fascination with the nobles was further weakened and temporarily liberated.

"So, what happens if Patrick goes back to self-rule like this?

Aristocratic territory is recognized for the most part as autonomy.

Lords, knights, armies, etc. often pledge allegiance to their lords more than kings, and the territorial capital in particular has a strong tendency to do so.

Therefore, I gave my life to give Patrick, who fled back to his own territory, and I fear I will not obey him.

Then there was Amanda by his side, and with her charm, the Knights would of course be able to maneuver to some extent, even to the armies and inhabitants of the territorial capital.

"Crusade, it will be..."

Rosanna looks grumpy.

Count Colbourne territory, located northeast of the Wang capital, was one of the most important bases in trade with the Empire, although the territory was not so large.

If Patrick, who was turned over to the Crusaders, asked the Empire for help, it would be troublesome.

"In that case, you'll have to officially argue as a traitor."

If it were to help against the rebels, it would be an obvious hostility.

If we turn to crusade for halfway crimes, it can happen that the empire, which was asked for help, enters quickly to encourage reconciliation - in doing so, of course, huge hands (...) must be demanded for (...) rent (...).

But I wouldn't risk taking the clear hostility of backing the rebels.

But then we have to cut off the people who gave Patrick.

If Patrick were to be charged with treason, it would create suspicions that William would not even have, that he would have fought against the border and the kingdom, and that he would have tried to take away the power of the nation, and so on, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth.

In doing so, nobles, bureaucrats and members of the military who followed Patrick and cried out for William's execution must also be punished accordingly, and that would cause great confusion to the kingdom.

"On the way, I hope they capture me..."

With that said, the Chancellor of the Kingdom exhaled loudly as he was tired. Probably the hope is faint, you know.

"Damn... what did he do, manipulate people? Who is Amanda in the first place?

Of course, Rosanna is also investigating Amanda. Nor is that what we talked about yesterday, since the beginning of Patrick's rebellion against William.

The more I looked into Patrick, the more names that would come to mind, but in the end, I still didn't know what my qualities were.

Alana looked at Yaichi and nodded loudly as she saw the Chancellor sighing without force.

"Um, Chancellor."

"Hmm? Are you like Lord Yoichi?"

"Yes, it is. I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"Well, does Lord Yoichi have any ideas?

Rosanna blushed unexpectedly for taking a slight eight hit attitude, but did not offer any further apology.

Yaichi, too, doesn't care because she knows her frustration.

"I don't have any suggestions, but one thing I can let you know"

"Hmm... I hear Lord Celestan's pocket knife is well informed."

"That would be an honor."

"So, what are you telling me? You think I know who Amanda is?

"That's right, Chancellor, it's good to guess."

"Is that true!?

Rosanna climbed out of her hips unexpectedly.

"Cohon...... so?

I just grabbed the momentum, but coughed up a little shy and sat back on the couch.

"Who is Amanda?

A sharp gaze emanating from red-purple eyes pierces Yaichi. If I said something bad, I wouldn't forgive you, I could feel it.

With no way to worry about such a prime minister's attitude, Yaichi stares back at Rosanna with a relaxed expression.

Such an attitude on his part, Rosanna was only about to be pressured for a moment.

And Yaichi opened his mouth in all likeness, staring into the eyes of the Chancellor of the Kingdom.

"He's a demon."

○ ● ○ ●

The Chancellor of the Kingdom kept his eyes and mouth wide open and solidified for a while.

The Kingsguard, who refrains from doing so, is equally stunned.

"Demon... so...?

After a small grunt, the light returns to Rosanna's eyes, which were somewhere blurry, and her weaker gaze pokes at Yang Yi than earlier.

"Demon, did you say? Amanda said she was a demon..."

"Yes."

"In Wang Du, there was a demon...... so...? Oh, my God..."

Rosanna, who had been bumping and squealing for a while, shook her head wide and raised her face.

"Wait! How did Lord Yoichi find out about it?

"It's a secret."

"Huh!? Are you kidding me!!

"No, I'm not kidding. It's an adventurer's secret."

"Adventurer's... well..."

Adventurers often hide their abilities.

It also leads to increased value for oneself, but in many cases in self-defence.

Alternatively, it may be a confidential matter under an agreement with the Alliance.

Anyway, when it comes to adventurers' secrets, that doesn't make them crack their mouths, even if they're already dead.

Forcing that mouth to open is synonymous with turning the Adventurer Alliance against the enemy.

"What makes you think Amanda was a demon and the nobles were being manipulated?

"It's her ability, isn't it? Amanda seems to be able to manipulate people freely by attracting them strongly."

"Manipulate people freely..."

"However, only for men."

"To men, only...?

It was a word that fell to my heart somehow.

Rosanna was wondering herself. If Patrick can really manipulate people, why wasn't he the object of it?

"I'm glad the Prime Minister of the Kingdom is a woman. If we had just turned the Chancellor to the enemy, Uncle Borderline would not have been safe."

Yaichi was right.

If you want to cut William off and get the seat of Uncle Borderline, it's quick to manipulate Rosanna.

No, if that bothered you, you could have taken over the kingdom.

In retrospect, the king also seemed to lack some glory these days......

"No way, His Majesty was being manipulated, too?

"Doesn't it have some impact? Seems like you have to have sex to be fully attracted."

"Sex......? Right..."

This also occurred to me.

The nobles on Patrick's side were many of them less reputable.

But some of them were good bureaucrats and military dignitaries who were close to William.

I didn't see the motive until I found out about the charm, but on second thought, it seems that the Patricians had a lot of favorites.

"But... really, the demon man is in the king's capital...? If that's true... no, wait"

There is a strong light in Rosanna's eyes that was still somewhere confused.

"Even if it's not true...... um...... right, Demon...... ok...... ok...... kukukuk...... hahahahaha......!

Rosanna's gaze, with her eyes slightly open and only her mouth distorted and laughing, captures Yaichi.

He made his face pull only for a moment.

"Lord Yoichi, you are quite a connoisseur."

"Huh."

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with whether Amanda is a demon or not, even if it's not true!

"No, it's true,"

"Khuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Ignoring Yangichi's voice, Rosanna entered her world again.

"Now the Empire can't even help...... I can lend it to incompetent nobles and arrogant armies...!

At last, let's blame it all on the demon.

"Whether or not a demon was lurking in the Wang capital, or even part of it was manipulated by nobles or military dignitaries, it's not something that the public can do."

Rosanna, a little calmed down about the idea coming together, began explaining it to Yang Yi.

However, the excitement hasn't cooled you down, your eyes run a little bloody and your breathing is rough.

"But it is possible to make a secret offer to the Empire."

I happen to have allowed the King's Capital to infiltrate a demon, but it wasn't strange that the infiltrator was an Imperial Capital.

Anyway, there are many things unknown about being a demon.

What if the ability of a demon with a strength comparable to that of an army in one was specialized in infiltration and intelligence?

"That's the prime minister. Most of the key positions are men. Damn, you're a dumb demon who could have ruled more easily if he was an empire."

Tomorrow can't even be considered our own, so the Empire will not publicly condemn the kingdom that allowed the demons to infiltrate the King's capital.

And if we share the Devil's information closely, even if Patrick asks for help, the Empire will never respond to it.

Anyway, the Demon King's army with the Demon Man is the enemy of mankind.

The support given to Patrick to the Demon Man is a betrayal to humanity.

That would be the act of turning the Alliance against the enemy, and the hearts of its subjects would be separated again.

"In other words, Patrick, you just have to make up the proper sins and crusade them. Even though it was manipulative, it doesn't mean that any of the people who gave Patrick his name were not guilty."

This one can also be reserved for appropriate punishment, with appropriate offense.

Of course, while there is little about the crime of treason,

"In that case, the incompetent ones will also be a little more diligent. Stubborn bureaucrats and arrogant military forces are somewhat obedient."

This case, which developed into a disturbance that would have inclined the country together, was likely to fit in well for the Chancellor.

"Apparently, a proposal came to mind."

Alana speaks in a calm tone to Rosanna, who speaks with excitement.

"Oh. It's going to work out a lot thanks to you guys"

"That's more than anything. So, when will my father be released?

Rosanna, properly questioned by Alana, immediately grinned with regret.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that."

So the out-of-word Chancellor revealed his expression with one cough.

"The official circular will come soon, but at this point, we will release the (...) plane (...) life (...) decree (...) to the Sarris peripheral uncle William"

Listening to Rosanna's proclamation, a breath or voice of relief leaks from Alana and Yaichi, and other members' mouths.

"Thank you, Chancellor."

"It's all this downfall, and Lord William has no responsibility whatsoever. That's not what I'm thankful for."

To each other's words, Alana and Rosanna looked at each other and smiled.

"Oh, well, I'll tell Uncle Borderline."

"Um, please"

Did you decide that the Prime Minister's escort was unnecessary to get here, and the Kingsguard left the room and rushed out lightly.

"Ah!"

Shortly afterwards, Yaichi rises up in a voice.

"What is it, Lord Yoichi?

"Not good, not good...!

After squealing unanswered to Alana's query, Yaichi popped out of the room.

"It's not good right now!!

Leaning his neck at Yaichi, who ran out the hallway screaming, the women left also stood up and followed the rest for a small run.

"No, no, no!!!!

And when leading Alana tried to catch up to Yangichi's back, a woman's scream echoed through the mansion.
