Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)

Chapter 10: gossip, steak and……

The representative of the Principality of Parche and Lord Parche, who finished the General Assembly, sat in a chair and breathed heavily when he returned to the office with representatives of both Houses. To the exhaled exhalation of fatigue, the man representing the House speaks out as if to labor.

"Good luck, Lord.

"Hmmm......"

The public nodded deeply at the man's words. The prolonged congress in whipping an old body over seventy years old was enough to make it time to think of a replacement.

Until recently, a general assembly of all the members of the House of Lords was convened to discuss measures to be taken against the Kingdom of Gracis. An imperial army crossed the national territory of the principality and attacked the kingdom. The result of the war was that the Royal Army beat the Imperial Army, but the fact that the Principality allowed the Imperial Army to pass through the national territory was enough to create a crack in the friendship between the two countries that it had built up over the years. For this reason, the Principality will use all means to repair relations with the Kingdom. And in the general assembly, it was decided to pay tribute to the great powers and ease the tariffs for the other five years.

But in fact, he was intimidated by a secret document, so he had no choice but to look at it and pretend not to look at it, but only the three of us here and the person in charge of border security who had been instructed to know what was going on. What a delicate meeting it was for the three of us to know the facts. Incidentally, the person responsible for this was apparently discharged from discipline, in fact, in the retirement that he had hoped to retire, and willingly pulled him into the country.

"But no way that minister………"

The lady representing the House of Lords shrugs. That was something that also came up on the table in the General Assembly. It was after the death of Minister Barbasse, who was sneaking around the kingdom of Gracis, known by neighbouring countries as the 'Great Power of Concern', and even the evil he had done, that came to light. At the stage of receiving the secret document, she did not anticipate this result. It is in a positive state of water in the sleeping ear.

The man talks to her, unable to hide such a surprise.

"I have a different idea about that.

"Huh?"

To her lurking her eyebrows, the man continued his words as he clapped his shoulders.

"Noteworthy is not that the minister lost. We should pay attention to the prince who defeated that minister.

I didn't win by killing the minister. In the official announcement of the Kingdom of Gracis, the Minister was attacked and killed by a tyrant, while at the same time the evils he has done behind his back, such as the fact that the 'Royal Tragedy', which happened nearly thirty years ago, was in fact an assassination carried out with the Minister's plot, also came to light. It is also an announcement after gathering all the evidence. And all of that also means that only a seven-year-old prince went.

"... but that the prince, only seven years old, really beat the minister? Do you believe that?

It also contains information that the prince has left the Imperial Army. But she suspected it was all a fabrication to gain popular support. As if it were a performance of one of the most popular travelers in the alley, "Prince of Light," the active story of young children losing their adult faces has the effect of gushing people's minds.

"Isn't that something you think the public who won the bet is better than me?

That's what the man says and turns his gaze publicly. The public received the gaze and, after a few beats of silence, opened his mouth heavily.

"……… Non thinks it is possible.

What is remembered is Perla's letter that she married to the kingdom. The letter said a lot about 'her son'. "She" is the pet princess that Perla was adoring like her sister.

Perla is depressed by the assassination of her first child by a minister. The private letters sent by her were filled with blaming herself for always failing to protect her daughter and with the worries of the kingdom. The public wrote to him to return home more than once, but Perla continued to refuse to return, "Do not leave His Majesty alone".

Such letters changed from one time to another. At the same time as the king heard about his own welcome to the princess, Perla wrote to him, "I think I have a sister." The letter from then on was a relatively bright serene content compared to the previous one. The public expects that Perla would have been healed in the days she lived with the princess.

But such an arrowhead, a letter arrives that the princess lost her life in childbirth. I thought Perla would be depressed again with this, but contrary to expectations, Perla kept an eye on 'her child' from afar, as if she were going to replace 'her'. The letter spelled out the day he first stood and the fact that he was eager to read the book, as he did when he was his real son. By watching him so, he now seemed to be supported by her and her son, who seemed like his late sister.

So the public decided to get on the contents of the secret book that arrived with Perla's letter. Sometimes I couldn't say no, but there was a faint hope that maybe. Otherwise, it seemed impossible for Perla to do anything that would put 'her child' at risk. And I won the bet.

"Her son" took the revenge of the minister who killed her grandson.

"I see. Now, I don't know what's going to happen.

Once the man heard the public words and nodded, he said as if with the look of a boy plotting a prank

"What? The nobleman, who had already lost his minister and was authoritarian, the high-ranking official, looks like he's been captured and brought to justice. The big countries will become more and more powerful, won't they?

"Hmm. I don't hate that straight thinking of yours, but I guess it's a little too simple. It's nice to be young.

"... is that insulting me?

A woman lurks a single eyebrow in a man's words. Sure, she's young. The House of Representatives is elected by vote, but the House of Lords is the most influential noble party leader among the nobles except the Duke's. However, she is the eldest daughter of the Principal and is only present on behalf of the Principal because she was ill a few years ago. I don't plan on getting married even though I say thirty is the present, but the man's words were only an insult to her, who is a woman but competent enough to bring together so many nobles.

"Respect, disrespect. I just wanted to say that you haven't had enough experience yet.

The man continues his words with a flat apology.

"As you said, the atmosphere in the country will be better with that minister gone.

Nobles and officials were arbitrary, and the burden of the people was swelling. But now that those people have been killed, and the royal family has regained power, and the country is about to change, and the consciousness of the people is about to change, the country will move greatly.

"But thanks to the minister, the great nation, which was a rock in a bad way, entered a crack called transformation.

When the minister was in control, the country was protected by a single rock from external enemies, even as it rotted internally. The minister's influence had spread throughout the continent. But now that the minister is gone, the kingdom is no longer a single rock. There is no easy way for the aristocrats who have come of their own free will to accept what the royal family says. If the nobles, who had been driven to the provinces by the ministers again, returned to the centre of the country, the problems involved could also arise. Furthermore, this time, the general active in the battle against the Empire is a mercenary ascent. There is also the possibility of more private registration, which was a narrow gate, at the heart of the country under the control of the nobles. Furthermore, I do not think that foreign countries will remain silent multiplied by this confusion.

"Now I'm just in a mess after the storm has passed.

After the storm's departure. But it will only be a short rest until the next storm comes.

"I'd like to meet Lord 'Hero' once.

"Hero?"

The man said with a smile to the lady leaning her neck.

"Yeah, in the alley, they call the young prince who broke the empire and saved the kingdom a 'hero of light' because of his blonde hair like the 'Prince of Light' that gathered light and his accomplishments.

The famous Castle Town Tavern is a dish served with a secret sauce on a thick steak. In the corner of the store, a man enjoyed a long vacation with his specialty dishes and booze in one hand. A short cut blue-grey hair with the same color eyes and a barren beard, the figure is not so different from that of the Lower Town. But he was an undefeated general Heath Blaze, a feat that allowed him to leave the threat of the Empire the other day.

Heath sips a sip of booze and leaves the fork running out on the chopped steak in front of her and carries it to her mouth. When you cheek the meat, the aroma of the sauce spreads all over your mouth, and if you chew, the taste of the meat and sauce dances over your tongue. And he was carried to his stomach, and Heath mocked his long-time happiness.

"Yeah, it's good.

I leaked so much to myself. Someone approached him like that.

"Heath, you kept me waiting.

Yes, it was the mercenary man who spoke to him. The forged body and a number of scars on his arm indicate that he is a fierce warrior. It is furthermore the deep, eye-sharp strong surface of the sculpture, with great care to keep everyone out of sight.

But Heath, who was spoken to, greeted him with a smile as he put a cup of booze in it.

"I'm starting first.

"Aah...... ask me to do the same!

When a man on the strong side yells at the counter, the master of the liquor store replies from the back. Confirming that, the man lowered his back to the chair to face Heath.

Immediately the servant fed the liquor and meat, and the man on the strong side stirred the liquor at once.

"... but I didn't expect you to move.

Seeing a man like that, Heath squeaks with a puffiness.

"You hated nobility.

That was what Heath always said when he was a mercenary. Because it was the same time I became a mercenary, I made a request in conjunction with something. Along the way Heath became a soldier and became a general, and the man in front of him remained a mercenary, and became the guild chief, and the road parted, but when the holidays were right, he was one of those who drank alcohol.

"I still hate you.

Yes, said the head of the mercenary guild.

"What? Then why?

Surprised by the answer, Heath stops the cup movement she was trying to put on her mouth and asks. Then the guild leader on the strong side in front of him said it was unusual for him, then took his gaze off and squirmed.

"…… the young lady helped me. Don't ask any more.

"Young lady, hey?

It means that you are close enough to call the Prince a young lady.

Heath did not pursue him as he was told, but merely said a word profoundly. The guild leader, whose seizure it crippled, turned his sharp gaze to Heath.

"That kind of thing you like about young people.

The man knew. After this long-standing troublesome stinking man returns from his expedition, the Prince's instructions show that he is moving a lot.

"You're the one who does the job, but I hear you're taking on the trouble.

This country had begun to change a lot since the minister died. It was a solemn right to injustice on the part of the nobles and high-ranking officials who had been overlooked until now at the beginning. Anyone who has ever smoked sweet juice is dragged to justice and punished. Some of them tried to escape, but it was captured by Heath and his men under the royal instructions. For that reason, three weeks after returning, Heath continued to work. Today was a long day off.

"…… it's work, work.

"Hmm."

To the deceitful way of saying Heath, the guild leader carries the steak into a slice when he squeaks his nose. When I chewed and swallowed the flavor, I groaned pompously.

"…… I wonder what will happen to this country.

"I don't know.

To Heath's unsympathetic words, a man with a strong face looks so much like he's going to cry out when his child sees him.

"…… that's not what interests you. You're the general, aren't you?

"The general just became a success. They just pushed me into trouble. Well, it's a good salary.

When I say I'm glad to be a general, I put up a cup, adding that cigarettes are about as good as I can buy fine stuff.

"Ma, as long as that prince is around, it won't get that bad.

Yes, when Heath put up the cup, the guild chief also put up a laughing cup and drank each other's liquor.

It was a world called the Garden of Heaven by the people. A heavenly world that is everlasting, full of light, and full of trees.

It was the woman who continued from the temple in that heavenly world, down the path of white stone. She was a superb beauty, although she hid her brown skin with different left and right colored eyes, long straight hair with no habits like purple crystals and a thin cloth that seemed clear and impermeable to her mouth. Wearing clothes with little cloth area like a dancer, her deflected, fruitful chest swayed every time she walked.

She was an informer and also a demon god known as the 'Everlasting Witch'.

On the left and right of the road he goes, colorful heavenly flowers bloom and many butterflies dance. But she knew it was not a butterfly, but a soul that pictured a butterfly.

The soul spends time in this world, and memory purifies and replenishes its power, and is reborn into the next raw. This is the purification and circulation engine of the world. And this world was also the place where the gods lived.

Being a 'demon god', she was also allowed to come to this place.

Down the road, we followed the East House, made of white stone. There was a man sitting in a white stone chair, looking up at a blue sky with no clouds and no sun.

"Ferris......"

To the man, the eternal witch spoke.
