Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)

Chapter IX Deception, Trading and Vessels Part II

Hershelik smiled at the inhabitants who came to see him off, feeling the cold breeze on his cheeks that heralded the winter's arrival.

"Well, then, Merliah, because I'm waiting for your letter. Please let me know whenever something happens to everyone else.

The inhabitants nod each to the words of Hershelik, the prince who miraculously survived from that fire.

The incident broke into a separate residence where the prince stayed, attacked the Kingsguard knights and set fire to the end.

A flavor of the broken door was found dead in the woods. It is unclear why a flavor was defeated and who defeated it, but that solved the case.

"Your Highness, you are well...... thank you so much.

Hershelik smiles at Meliá, who bursts into tears in her drooling big brown eyes.

Next to her, her cousin, the mastermind who previously painted the kidnapping, had bowed her head so many times that she thought her body might break.

There was a reason why they were so grateful.

The day after the fire, Count Grimm notified all the inhabitants that he would refund the taxes he had wrongly (...) collected and lend additional personal assets to those he found difficult to cross this winter. I agreed that I would not actually ask for it to be returned even though I would lend it to you.

I waited for the prince who left the Lords' Hall, and most of them didn't talk to me. But I told him to reward me if anything happened.

"Dear Hershelik, I was happy to serve Your Highness.

"I'm glad Meliá is a nanny, too. My father and my mother, who are in the garden of heaven, must think so.

Hershelik, who exchanged his last embrace with Meliá, gets into the carriage. Hershelik kept waving until the carriage left and they were out of sight through the small window.

And when they all disappear, they calm down in their seats and breathe deeply into their seats, spitting out to their limits.

Hershelik realized that he was more nervous than he thought.

"Dear Hershey, good luck.

"Mm-hmm. But Schwartz, didn't I tell you that when you two were together, it didn't have to be a tribute?

That's how you two laugh. It was a very long night last night.

"Was Count Grimm glad that was it?

Remembering yesterday, Crowe asks Hershelik.

"…… I think it was the best.

It was also easy to make public Count Grimm's sins and take territory away from him.

But I don't know if the next lord is the personality the people want. Then they thought it would be best to keep it within their sight and kill it.

There are three deals Hershelik offered to save Count Grimm's life and meditate on this case.

One, to govern fairly for the sake of the people.

Two, to stop trafficking immediately and cut your hands off immediately with your opponent.

And three, to circulate information about a group of ministers to themselves.

At the end of the day, anyway, I have to make sure that the first and the second are protected. That was the condition for keeping the Count alive.

If anything, the people will contact me.

If there is no regular communication from the people, we will assume that something has happened.

Besides this assassination attempt and the evidence obtained, Hershelik made another threat to Count Grimm.

"You've successfully used the kidnapping set up by the people.

"Well, that's what his people did, so you're not wrong, are you?

I threatened to blame you for the kidnapping that Merliah and the others set up.

"I was threatened and I kept my mouth shut, and my father would believe me? Look, I have this proof, so take this and it's perfect.

Hershelik laughs innocently. But what you're saying is wicked.

But that's not what Crowe wanted to hear.

"Was that a good thing about Count Luzeria?

Crowe said specifically so that he could see the intent of the question.

Count Grimm is, so to speak, the enemy of Count Luzeria. The best way this time around has not cleared up any of the Count of Luceria's stigma, and how is Hershelik's mood that he feels admiring him?

Hershelik shuts up as if to indulge in Cro's words. And slowly opened his heavy mouth.

"I'm sure the Count will say this is fine this time. Because I think he cared more about his country than his name or status... than his people.

Otherwise, no action would have been taken two years ago.

The nobleman in that nobility, he who is proud, will also be convinced of the present situation. Hershelik thought so.

"... I really wanted to bring the matter of Count Grimm to justice publicly. I wanted to say that Count Luzeria was right...... but that is only self-satisfying.

I'm sure that's the easiest way for me to refresh myself right now.

But Count Grimm is only the lower end. It would just be thrown away like a lizard's tail cut. Then we do not want a fundamental solution.

"The Count's stigma will always be cleared. But that's not this time.

With determination Hershelik spun his words and grabbed his pocket watch.

(And that worked for the first time.

Even in the event of an unexpected assassination attempt, the tail could be considered listed.

Everything, however maneuvered, is not going to work. Because that's not a comic book or a game. But the many books and comics I had read in my previous life and the games I had played had been a good experience.

In the previous life, Ryoko had a habit of trying to read everything ahead.

If you work, prepare for unforeseen circumstances, and fulfill your responsibilities without delay, even if something goes wrong.

If you're a hobbyist, if you look at deductive comics and detective drama, you almost center the killer, and in war games, you read and calculate many steps ahead and prevail in your own favor. I've also had chess, chess, and Acer.

The same goes for clerk skills and experience gained in previous life in this world, but nerd brains were certainly helpful depending on how they were used.

Besides, Ryoko preferred to read comics and light novels, but he was also a typographical addict who read many other things, such as hardcovers and literature books.

The book reveals the author's way of thinking like a mirror. Reading a book is no exaggeration when it comes to knowing how people think. Knowledge gained in many books in previous life equipped Hershelik with a broader view and thought than people.

Observation Eyes, Focus, Judgment Ability -- Previous life's knowledge unintentionally affected Hershelik's attitude as a royalty.

"…… Now, I wonder how many years it will last.

"What year?

Hershelik is surprised by the whining as he looks at the flowing scenery.

"It's not that easy for someone who's done all those bad things to change his mind.

That's the same in every world. The throat is very smooth.

"And if Count Grimm stops moving, he'll notice something strange. If Count Grimm doesn't contour it really well, that side will go away.

There was already only one road left for Count Grimm. Whether it is long or short, his power is tested.

(They're not as sweet as I am. So I have to hit my hand by then.

The battle is coming.

Hershelik looking out with me. It was very different from what was in the car. I guess my head is full of ideas, and I've forgotten about the car sickness.

Clo shuddered when he saw him like that. It's never cold, and I'm not afraid.

(I don't know how many steps you've been reading...... this is what you mean when you don't know the bottom.

Crowe recognises once again the value of the Lord he has gained, striking and trembling with joy.

Beliefs that never get flushed just by their emotions

If it's for a purpose, I'm prepared to choose no means or method.

foresight to calmly read ahead and strike the best measure

But I never despise my surroundings.

Can it not be said that it is the gift of those who stand above, the vessel of kings and heroes?

And another thing, he spotted Hershelik's habit.

There are two times when Hershelik calls himself 'I'.

One is Hershelik the vegan when he is with Cro.

The other is when it gets cold.

Chilling is a cold way of saying it, but trying to be cool.

As a result of his calmness and thoroughness both when he was kidnapped and when he threatened Count Grimm, he had unconsciously changed his name.

It may not look calm from the side. But he was trying to calculate in his head and read ahead.

By the way, when you use Me, it's when you're a prince. He always uses me when pretending to be a harmless prince and in front of his father and family.

"Hey Cro.

The Lord called him back by his name as he was sinking into thought.

There was Hershelik staring at him with a serious look.

"I want to protect my father. I want to protect my family. I want to protect this country. I want to protect the people. I would do anything to fulfill my wish.

Cro smiles at the words.

Lord with vessels whose bottom is unknown.

But what underlies it is the tenderness to "leave no one alone" caring for others.

If you only want to help yourself, you can abandon your status as a prince. But I guess he won't even think about it. It's not just kind. He knows that kindness alone cannot protect him.

A sigh of relief, Hershelik continued. Silver Komi's pocket watch was gripped in his hand, and there was strength in the hand he grabbed.

"Schwartz, being with me is going to be a lot harder than the work you've been doing.

That is not an ambiguous prediction or imagination.

Changing a country is unimaginable to me, who was a clerk in my previous life, and if I fail, I will surely be erased.

The life of Kro, who became the deacon in charge, is Hershelik and Toshio Ichiro.

Not yet, he can turn back.

"I can't give anything back to Cro. On the contrary, it could put your life at risk.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The Lord, looking upright, looked anxious somewhere.

Hiding my anxiety, the prince lets me make a choice.

Cro asks himself again.

But there was no option in him to leave the prince.

Fukuro noticed there.

Maybe Hershelik was letting Count Grimm make a choice.

Although Hershelik said he would not change his mind, if he did, he would become the people his Lord wanted to protect.

If that happens, Hershelik will protect him from anything. Even if it was the Count's revenge.

That's why Crowe made the decision.

I can now say with certainty that I did not have the Lord because I must have been waiting for him. And just as the prince said, "Don't leave me alone," so did the prince.

Crowe kneels on one knee and drips his head.

It's in the carriage, so the distance between Hershelik and Kro is very close.

"My lord, I am a sword that cleaves your enemies, a shield that protects you from your fierce blades, and a staff that supports you.

That was the same word the Earl of Luceria swore to Hershelik.

When I became the lead butler, I learned royal manners and etiquette from Luke.

I thought it was just a word then.

But Crowe changes his mind.

The word is a heartfelt oath, an oath that cannot be allowed to differ.

"If you want, I will offer it to you, even on enemy land with hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers, to the end of the sky, or at the bottom of the earth.

When Crowe looked up, there was a surprised face that opened the Lord's eyes shortly before.

"Please forgive me.

Hershelik meditates on his eyes, and when he opens, he looks at Clo.

Fresh green blue eyes intersect dark red balls eyes.

"Schwartz, I forgive you. Please make only one promise.

Saying so, Hershelik put Silver Komi's pocket watch in his seat and pinched his face like he had made his niece in a dream with both empty hands.

It was a manifestation of a desire not to break a promise.

"I will not allow you to die before me. When you die, know it's time for me to die, too.

I didn't like the way the Count of Luceria broke up.

I didn't want to lose any more important people around me. I know the promise is self-satisfaction at my convenience. Still, Hershelik couldn't help but say.

I felt the light dwell in the dark red balls eyes of Chro.

"And I realized, my lord.
