Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)

In the minister's office, Wolfe Barbasse and several nobles were giggling.

"Wen, you did it.

"Oh, now………………."

Barbasse nodded satisfactorily at the words of the aristocratic man.

Currently, inside the royal castle, an expeditionary army dispatched to the border was in turmoil with reports of its destruction. But Barbasse already knew that the Expeditionary Army had been ambushed by the Imperial Army, that the Army had collapsed because of it, and that the seventh prince had gone missing. That's because I had already received reports from people I hired that they would not be able to swallow one person into a river flooded with Hershelik.

(I could finally get rid of it...)

Barbasse lifts the corner of his mouth.

Because of that seventh prince named Hershelik, Barbasse's faction reduced the majority. Spring ahead also tried to use the church to make it deceased, but it ended in failure on the verge. But that didn't go to admit defeat.

So Barbasse hit his next hand. The plan is to force Hershelik out of the King's Capital even if he is forced to, and make him a deceased in a place that has nothing to do with him. Now that the Imperial Army is approaching the border, it was possible to get Hershelik out of the King's Capital for the most apparent reason as an encouragement. Of course, nobles were allowed to match their backs, so none objected. And if we pass the information on to the Imperial nobles who want to witness the memory of the New Emperor, they will somehow break into the country and ambush the Expeditionary Army. He threatened the Principality of Parche with success for that time. It was all part of the plan that led the way for a breathtaking disposable general so that the itinerary was unmistakable. In order to secure the plan, he hired a large number of the people standing behind him to assassinate Hershelik.

The Imperial Army is trying to keep the conflict areas of the border in hand, but that is also in the calculations. Even if it is temporarily taken away, it is as much a means of retrieving it as possible. Barbasse thought that we could take it from him in battle, and let him daughter-in-law the royal family because the new emperor was supposed to be unmarried. The royal family of the Kingdom of Gracis is a superb beauty. Even the young Hershelik, who is said not to have the lowest luxury, draws a line with ordinary people. There is no hand in not using them for diplomacy like that.

(I don't care later, such as the national territory.

That was Barbasse's idea. I don't think about the people who live there at all. For Barbasse, everything but royalty, nobility and civilians are only pawns. There are three types of pawns. It's a pawn to use, a pawn to throw away, and a pawn to eliminate.

Everything was on schedule. But the door opens roughly as if to disturb the thought of such a minister.

"Your Excellency."

"It's noisy!

A nobleman yells at an official who came into the room making a noise. Officials continued their words as they wandered off.

"Also, my apologies...... but we can't judge anymore! Instructions, please!

"Is there a problem? The reorganisation of the Expeditionary Army would already have been initiated by the Military Directorate.

The soldier shook his head when the nobleman answered by putting around what the official wanted to say.

"Chi, no. The people under the castle are pushing towards the castle gate!

"... the civil grass?

After dawning for a moment in the report, Barbassa, who was poked at the void, asks. There have been reports that the people rarely push in the noble halls of the province, but it was the first time Barbasse had also started climbing the castle, such as pushing in the royal castle.

"How can I respond to the reassurance of the Expeditionary Army and His Highness Hershelik?"

There was silence indoors in the soldiers' words.

The gatekeeper's day of the day was raising his full voice as he cursed his bad luck.

"Please calm down, gentlemen!

Yes, use respectful language and choose words to avoid irritating the person. But the opponent, the people of Castle Town, did not go against the care of such a gatekeeper, but threw words at the pathetic gatekeeper who blocked the way in front of them.

"Can you stay calm!

"Is it true that the Expeditionary Army is devastated!

"Lyoko...... what happened to Master Hershelik!?

"Tell me what happened to the prince!

From a crooked, bumpy old man on the top to a young child on the bottom. Whether it was working hours for men or women, a large number of people in the castle town packed into the gates leading to the castle.

"That's currently checking the facts..."

Normally, he was the proper gatekeeper to chase away the spears, but this time he felt himself in danger because he had too many opponents, and he responded with a low back. But the majesty of the castle townspeople, who began to feel frustrated by such gatekeepers, only increased.

"But get the soldiers out right away and make sure! If anything happens, it's too late!!

"Yes! Master Hershelik is still young, by the way! What are you thinking about letting such a child go to battlefield!

"That's it! That's it!

The kids get along and the atmosphere around them gets chaotic. The hand of salvation was reached out when the gatekeeper felt terrified that it might be broken in as it was.

"Don't be quiet!!

People took a breath when they were drunk in a voice that passed. And look at the person ahead of your voice.

Her hair burns bright red across her horse, and she swells along with the horse hyena. Even if you resign from the general position, your body is no different than it was when you were active. On the battlefield, he was nicknamed 'General of the Blaze' and was the Roland Ordis climate man who was feared by other countries.

"Master Ordis!

"Guys, what are you fussing about?

When Roland spoke as he descended from his beloved horse, the people of Castle Town stopped at Ordis.

"Dear Ordis, is it true that the Expeditionary Army is devastated!?

"……… Where did you hear that?

Roland inquires back into the townspeople's words. I knew through my sons, the knights, that the Expeditionary Army might have been destroyed, but the decree must have been withdrawn at this time to avoid confusion. It is information I have learned because it is Roland, a former general.

To Roland's sharp question, the townspeople answered without timidity.

"I heard a rumor that someone working in a castle in a tavern said..."

"I see."

In other words, an alcoholic official slipped his mouth, which became rumoured and spread to the Wang Dynasty. People pushed him to the castle to confirm that fact.

A woman clings to Roland, who thinks she needs to go live to the station.

"All the soldiers are dead... my son is in the army!

"And His Highness is missing, too!?

"In the village on the border, I have relatives!

To the people who say it, Roland waits for the people to be quiet as he presses with both hands. Eventually he made sure everyone's voice was turned down and Roland opened his mouth.

"First of all, we can't talk to them about the current situation here. Because we cannot confuse it with uncertain information. I want you to understand that.

Roland says so clearly. The words were not disputed because they were the words of one of the few noble Ordis principals who drained knights from generation to generation and were also popular with the people.

"Will you excuse my face from this occasion and retreat?

Everyone gave Roland a mixed look of dissatisfaction and anxiety in his words, but still snorted reluctantly.

"But that's all I can say.

Yes, Roland continued his words with a confident expression.

"My son is the lead knight of His Highness. Not in the unlikely event that His Highness is harmed. It is unlikely that the army led by His Highness will lose.

The men of the castle township look at each other in the words of the General of the Blaze. But with powerful Roland's words, their anxiety never dissipated.

The minister was looking through a window with a view of the castle gate. The atmosphere was inaudible, and I could easily imagine what the townspeople were saying and what Roland had said and forgiven when he showed up.

"When..."

At the end of Barbasse's words he did not speak.

I could not understand why that young prince was so admired by the people.

Is it because he is royal?

Think about it. Barbasse shakes his head.

Then both the King and the First Prince, Marx, are royal and have more opportunities to come into contact with the people than any other royalty. But there was a thick, transparent wall between them and the people. I can see it, but I can never touch it. That is the distance between royalty and other human beings.

But that prince was different. No such wall existed, and even if it did, it destroyed itself and walked over to the people.

When I first heard the report, I doubted my ears. He said the young prince was going out to Castle Town by himself. And the people of Castle Town accepted him like my son.

It's crazy. A heterogeneous prince with age-appropriate personality, intelligence, courage and, more importantly, qualities that appeal to people. The alarm was ringing in the minister.

"My lord..."

Nobility speaks to the minister who dived into the sea of silence and thought, but there was no reply from the minister.

Atrad Imperial Army headquarters had received reports of ambush units. The man who received that report in the main tent was a magnificent man in his forties or so with dead leafy hair and eyes. This is Dick Iol Lynx, a nobleman with the tenth place in the Imperial Army, the commander-in-chief of this invasion of the Gracis Royal Army.

"Command, from the ambush squad. By tomorrow, we had word that we would be in position as planned!

Dick nods satisfactorily at the report he was waiting for.

"Okay. Start preparing each army. Tomorrow, we start the fight.

"Sir."

After the soldiers are behind the tent, the Tabernacles also leave the main battalion to give instructions to each unit. The remaining commander's man receives a glass of liquor offered by his squire and drinks it up.

(Something that went perfectly well.

The beginning was the arrival of a certain secret book. The secret book was delivered through a certain nobleman of the Kingdom of Gracis. The kingdom and empire have been in contention for years. But that doesn't mean there's no interaction at all. It was the man's idea that it was better to have than not to be any handover. And this time, the handover played a big part.

The Kingdom of Gracis is a great power. However, in recent years, it has been said by various foreign countries that the "great power of worry" is due to internal corruption. One reason for this is the arbitrariness of the nobles and high-ranking officials. He had some handouts with those nobles. And this time, I received a request to be the handler. It was called "the annihilation of the seventh prince, or captivity".

For a moment I suspected it was some kind of trap, but it came from a spy whose report made the kingdom sneak. Marquis Barbasse, the minister of the kingdom, is now avenging the seventh prince. So the man goes around wondering if this request is from the minister. The formation of 20,000 expeditionary troops within the kingdom to further support it, as well as the route to the border, were also brought about in detail. If you send a secret book to the Duchy of Parche and let him meditate his eyes on the domestic passage, he can easily surprise you. For the Principality, the Atorad Empire, like the Kingdom of Gracis, is a mighty nation.

(The minister lost his country, but the seventh prince and I are in the way.

He says he is a prince who is still young but has received the king's favor all by himself. Enough to threaten my position.

But that had nothing to do with men. Use the information you have to rip off the kingdom.

(This will also increase my position in the country if the memory and visibility of His Majesty the Emperor becomes evident.

The purpose of this battle was to inform the country of the prestige of the New Emperor. So losing is unacceptable. And if I won this battle, I was sure that my position would improve as well.
