I Became the First Prince

The first to notice any signs was Clement de Bourgogne Montpellier.

He was currently officially detained in a house.

It was practically unnecessary to redeem him separately from his predecessor, who was already heading for the Kingdom of Leonberg. But his prospects still belong to secrecy, so he became a postponer of ‘captivity' without even a seller.

Of course, he was outside, but in fact he could go out of the house at any time if he wanted.

He was also looking at the atmosphere of the royal palace with his cloak pressed.

“I wish it wasn't just a damn flower dragon. ”

While I was walking on foot without getting on the wagon, he stopped walking with a familiar face in the crowd.

“Huh. Why is the author in the royal...”

He was certainly the Knight of the Empire. Montpellier remembered that face, although he had been in cooperation with the Duke several times in the last mission.

Ugh.

The Knight of the Empire then turns his head towards him.

“Ike.”

Montpellier hurriedly presses on the cape and lowers his head. Then I hurried to the next step.

Fortunately, he did not seem to have recognized his face by not following behind him. Later, I tried to breathe a sigh of relief, but I found another familiar face in front of me.

It wasn't one.

They were dressed like ordinary citizens of the Kingdom, but they were all knights of the Empire.

It's not just knights, but the Emperor's swords belonging to the Foreign Duchess of the Imperial Order.

Montpellier made his way to the house before they recognized him.

While he was returning, he checked how many times he had been followed, and he did not have enough time to go around the road and change his clothes with a giant strip spread over the street.

My heart pounded.

Maybe they didn't recognize him, and if they did, they wouldn't find him suspicious when they saw him wandering around the royal palace in broad daylight. Maybe they're not the assassins who were sent to find out and punish their own prospects.

Horrible fantasies come to mind.

He spent the rest of the night so frightened.

The assassin didn't come.

I sighed with relief. And only after that did Montpellier regain his peace did he realize that his thoughts were too delusional.

They couldn't have noticed their prospects. They are here to rescue the ambassadors who were detained in captivity at the same time as the outbreak of the war.

“Far be it from me. There is no prince in the royal family. ”

This was the only chance I had of getting away from that bad prince. Unfortunately, however, he could not seize the opportunity.

They came to rescue themselves, and that was all the way to the mainland. When the Statics of the Montpellier family have drawn their swords, they will already be scattered like a handful of smoke.

“How could my life be like this? ”

Montpellier lamented.

The prince hated it, and the kingdom resented it. The pharyngeal dragon was even loathsome. His sage was so instrumental.

I can't believe I'm going to cry again.

He finally decided to admit it.

It was now the only way to adapt in the Kingdom. I should never have to go back to the Empire and be put into the hands of the static.

In order to do so, the Kingdom had to endure a war with the Empire.

It was not very likely.

Rather than breaking into the guillotines in vain when the statics were prepared, it was more likely to live a little longer on the side of the kingdom.

And right now, I had to expect even one dollar for the high chance of survival.

I just wanted the kingdom to survive.

Thinking about the war like that, Montpellier remembers that he had forgotten.

“Have you seen such a madman! I can't believe I forgot what's important! ”

He stumbled upon the secret part of his bedroom. Soon, the hidden space was revealed with the sound of a cockroach.

There was a document sealed through magical processing.

One fact I never spoke to, even though I got beaten up by the prince.

The Empire's ambassadors were unlikely, but when the war broke out between the Empire and the Kingdom, they were forced to move into certain beds.

The instructions were immediately contained in a sealed document.

Even though the weak country in the defence dared to believe the possibility of rebelling against the Empire was endless, it had forgotten its existence.

Montpellier hesitates for a moment, tearing off the seal of documents.

Pot.

The light flashes, and the strange air spreads everywhere.

Montpellier looked around for a while, stiffening. Fortunately, nothing happened.

He took out a sigh of relief and read the documents.

The paperwork contained instructions and future plans to be taken by the Empire's ambassador in the event of a single war.

However, I was so surprised and scared that Montpellier was flagged.

“Woe, the Emperor's ironwork is more than I thought. ”

He trembled. The likelihood of this happening also cools the Emperor's thoroughness, which has been steadily preparing for the independence of the lean kingdom.

So for a very brief time, I even thought about escaping the crown.

That's when the prince's face came to mind.

The moment I remembered the vicious prince who was wearing a handkerchief, I was amazingly shaken.

“If there is a monster emperor in the Empire, there is a prince like that demon in the kingdom. ”

He grasped the heart that was shaking.

Then I thought about it for a while.

“There's no one out there...”

He called his servant, who had barely made up his mind, and kept his mouth shut.

The paperwork I had in my hand was one piece of paper, and it weighed too much. If it goes to someone wrong, it will wipe out the entire Marquis without a trace.

He decided to move himself.

I didn't have time to delay.

I could sink the boat that had been changed to live as long as it was wrong.

Montpellier headed straight for the royal palace.

Then I found the new crew of the kingdom.

“I'm not afraid of the Empire's eyes anymore. He said he was going to act like a prisoner. ”

At the words of Marquis Villefeld, Montpellier refused and took his point out.

“Look at this. ”

“What else is this...”

The face of the crew confirming the imperial title of Bourgogne was stiff.

The crew hastily read the document. And when he had read it all, he had a firm face.

“Is this true? ”

“I've already identified some of the Empire's knights in the middle of the kingdom. I must say, the Maestro has already begun."

At the end of Montpellier's words, the marshal summons the knights outside the door.

“Is there anyone out there? ”

“You called.”

Marquis Villefeld's knights rushed to the base.

“Tell the Court Knights to bring all the royals to their hearts immediately! Tell the Guardian General of the Royal Palace to lock down the gates of the Royal Palace and gather the Guardians to prepare for battle! The king will also have to shut it down right now. And you, along with the other knights, let the commanders of each rank above the commanding officer come to the conference room of the Royal Palace! ”

Knights are blinded by sudden orders.

“We're arguing over the countryside! Hurry up!”

The marshal darts the knights with a restless face before.

The knights ran out with a bang.

The marshal got up from his seat and chopped.

“Follow me.”

Marquis Montpellier followed the marshal without a word.

* *

“What's going on with the great joints? ”

It was the Queen who welcomed the crew and the Marquis of Montpellier in the conference room.

“Well, you didn't get a breakthrough. ”

“I've been contacted. Everyone else is in the same place, so there's nothing to worry about. I just came here to represent the royal family now that His Majesty is absent. ”

It was no surprise that the Queen, who should be in the heart, appeared in the conference room, but the marshal did not persuade her to come to the heart now.

“Let's hear what's going on. ”

“For a long time, the Empire hid a few swords under the chin of the kingdom in preparation for a war against an unknown nation. The knights of the empire who had infiltrated the royal palace were the first knives, and the soldiers of the empire who had settled with them near the royal palace were the second. And the nobles of the kingdom who have turned to the Empire are the third sword. ”

The marshal snowed at Marquis Montpellier.

“I met strangers many times yesterday. Which means they're already fully active. ”

“Didn't you know their existence from the very beginning? ”

“Until yesterday, I didn't even know it was cold. In fact, I've worked with them a few times, and I didn't know that until yesterday, they were sent back here as needed from the Empire's mainland. ”

"Hmm."

The Queen stares at Montpellier.

“Trust me.”

“It's only a guillotine that awaits you when you return home. There's no way we're going to side with the Empire again."

Montpellier trembled. The Queen's words stabbed me in the throat.

The Queen opened her mouth before he could express his sincere desire for the Kingdom of the Three.

“The threat to the prospective nobles has already been eliminated by the boy, I'm glad. ”

Surprised by the sudden situation, the Queen's voice was always calm.

“Since the Knights of the Empire who had infiltrated the Kingdom and the soldiers of the Empire who were about to march towards this place were the problem, did the marshals have any recourse? ”

“Their purpose is to open the gates of the royal palace and finally take down even the royal palace, where the knights who had infiltrated it beforehand have created chaos. I intend to walk tightly through each of the gates to strengthen the lock protection and to search out the knights who have been lurking in between so that they don't respond in and out. ”

It was a formal method of response.

However, the Queen pointed out that the response of the crew was poor.

“Now that the royal palace and the gates of Pluto are locked, they will also realize that we know the presence of the viper. It would have been a long time ago to search for them. ”

“Things were so urgent that I didn't even think about it. God of foolishness has done wrong, so punish me. ”

“I'm not trying to blame you. I know that the crew took action because the safety of our royals came first. I just wanted to give you a little piece of advice. ”

The Queen told the story in the north.

“Monsters don't leave their wounded when the fight is over. People who eat all the food and fill my stomach, whether they're my people or my enemies. Sometimes, however, injured rangers survive the battle to the edge of the winter castle. ”

There is no story of the Queen's hometown that was suddenly brought out. However, the crew listened to her without disliking her while she was busy.

“It's very painful to just look at a grumpy comrade with an injury. ”

“The brave soldiers and knights of the North can't just look at them, can they? ”

“I can, but I can't. ”

The marshal even struck a match. See if there's anything straightened out, shining through your eyes.

“Because they know that the Orcs, who were hiding in the moment they opened the gates and ran away, would run countless times to save the bait, the allies. ”

The Queen's gaze on the crew stopped in front of Montpellier.

“Shall we be Orcs once? ”

Without even knowing the meaning of his gaze, Montpellier trembled.
