I Became the First Prince

There seems to be a civil war within the Empire.

When I first heard about it, I just laughed.

“The ones who dared not even breathe out loud in front of the Emperor started a civil war? That's ridiculous. ”

I don't know if I'd like to see it myself, but I've already seen the Emperor before. We have also seen how much the aristocrats of the Empire fear the Emperor.

Nobles who do not dare to look directly at the Emperor are opening their eyes like two eyes. There is no way the Emperor has caused a civil war.

No matter how chaotic the current empire may be inside and out.

I left one open for a while, but I didn't hear any more news, so I erased it from my head.

“How can we drive a larger specialty to the Three Princes without losing our allies? ”

After repeated meetings with Malcolm and his head, several individuals selected a very insignificant base to ‘deal’ with the Three Princes.

Needless to say, the deal was so covert that even the Three Princes didn't notice it.

In the course of the deal, the Imperial Army suffered no less troop damage.

Even though the Empire army on the front lines was heavily damaged by the royal constellations while the main army was under occupation, it was also unimportant.

The 3rd Prince had a good reputation and specialty in capturing the citadel and fortress of a kingdom that no army of the Empire had captured, and I was able to do considerable damage to the Empire Army in exchange for an insignificant base, which is a good example of a deal that was satisfactory to both sides.

Everything was smooth.

If there was one thing on my mind, it was the fact that the wizards and paladins of the current empire were too quiet on the front lines.

“I've already lost one magistrate and one paladin. On the other side, it's natural to be careful not to lose more precious power. ”

“If I'm going to take you so preciously, I'll leave you in the rear. What are you doing? I think I've brought you to a dangerous battlefield. That doesn't make sense to me. ”

Malkoy shook his head in my words.

“Articles are a valuable treat in any country. When you think about the time and cost of being a knight, you can't think like a regular soldier. ”

Malkoi said that's the difference between an empire and a kingdom.

“The Kingdom has made great strides in this war, but not the Empire. Though the Emperor's rigour has been feared, the Empire's commanders will not be able to think of the situation after the war. No matter how you build the ball, it won't work if you lose your knights and lose all your precious power. ”

“Have you seen it well? ”

“Rather, it should be viewed as the opposite. and I saw what happened to the people who ran, and I went away. ”

Malkoy then adds a word.

They won't be saving knights and wizards for long.

“I want to avoid being reproached for not being faithful to the Emperor, so they will do their best. And if they pour out their guns, it must be this citadel. ”

Malkoy said it was time to bring in the masters and knights of the star.

“I'll tell Jean Kathryn and the Knights of Chang. ”

There are nondragon knights back from the Empire mainland, so it's no problem to share the news.

And shortly thereafter, changes began to occur on the front lines.

“The Empire's aggression has become noticeably weaker. ”

“They've been knocking on the wall for four days, and they've been staring at the castle for a week. ”

“The situation on almost all fronts is similar. ”

Malkoy predicted that the Imperial Army would go into reorganization to wage a total power war.

Me and Malkoy anticipated that the further aggression would begin as soon as the Empire's breathing was over.

But it wasn't.

“The Empire Army has begun to withdraw! ”

The Imperial Army, which was entering the Kingdom's borders, began to retreat in a moment.

It was not a one-sided retreat for a two-sided forward. The Imperial Army was really pulling troops out of the border.

The Knights of Chang looked directly at the battlefield and confirmed it.

“Why the hell? ”

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way to explain the sudden retreat of the Empire army.

No, there was one.

The story of the Civil War of the Empire, which I heard a while ago, could explain the situation.

“No wonder there was a civil war...”

Malkoy also recalls the possibility of an Empire civil war, as I thought.

Neither then nor now have my thoughts changed.

It was unlikely that the imperial figures who dared not even breathe properly in front of the emperor had waged a civil war. If there was such a great man, there was no way the Emperor could stand by and watch a civil war take place in the territory of my country.

Clearly, I instructed him to mobilize all means at his disposal to verify the authenticity of the rumors.

After a few days, the Persians, disguised as stragglers, joined the Empire army and returned to the citadel.

“Your Majesty! The Empire has really had a civil war! ”

I frowned.

I can't believe I didn't check the facts.

Seeing me like that, the Percival continued to report with a gloomy face.

“The information is limited, so we don't know the details, but the 5th Prince feels crisis and looks like a giant! ”

The moment I heard that, the situation immediately cleared my head.

Bondi the 5th Prince was the least likely person to succeed the Empress as much as the 3rd Prince.

But the war continued and things changed.

The rival two princes and four princes were successively killed, and even the most powerful successor, the first princes, was attacked by an allied mainland attack just moments ago.

Even the 5th Prince, who was not likely to succeed the Emperor due to his ability and strong powers.

However, it was not only the five princes who saw the virtues of the other princes in the war.

It was the three princes who saw the greatest gain in the war.

The aristocrats of the empire who lost their masters during the first Dothrin truce fell under the flag of the three princes who had fought to escape the Emperor's wrath.

Thus, the Three Princes became the most powerful succession candidate at once, and in addition, gained a reputation as war heroes.

And its reputation (?) was currently under way on the front lines with the Kingdom.

Even the first prince, the strongest competitor in the situation, was killed, so the succession of the third prince was almost unanticipated.

The future of the Emperor, who failed to succeed the Emperor, cannot be bright, even if it is not the messed up nature of the Three Princes.

As the 5th Prince, it was natural to feel a crisis.

The Deceased Eighteen will be questioned, or executed along with a proper criminal record.

Motivation was enough.

I would have had to do anything to survive.

The rewards were also overwhelming.

He could have been the emperor of the Empire beyond being guaranteed life only if he succeeded in killing the Maestro.

Moreover, it was not just impossible.

The third prince, the most powerful succession candidate, was in the defection, which took almost half a year only to return. It also leads most of the forces that follow itself.

Motivation, reward, and possibilities were enough, so it would be strange not to do anything.

If it had been the situation of the Five Princes, the country would have done the same thing.

Of course, that did not mean that the giant would really succeed.

“The moment the Emperor moves, the civil war will be suppressed in no time. ”

Malkoi also predicted that the Five Princes' Nan would return to failure.

“What matters to the Kingdom now is how we use the Empire's civil war. ”

Malkoy said that even if you are a failed caste, you should use what you can.

“If necessary, we should support the 5th Prince, not the 3rd Prince, and draw the Civil War for a long time. ”

I laughed.

He did so in order to make the third prince the Emperor, and now he was the one who had to hear from the fifth prince.

It was ridiculous to leave the blood of Burgundy to drink.

However, there was no reason to reject Malkoy's proposal.

The longer the Empire's chaos lasted, the better for the kingdom.

For the sake of that chaos, he saved three cool princesses, even if he killed them right now. He continued to drive his specialty.

There was nothing to be reluctant about coming here three days later to empower the Fifth Prince.

“I don't even know if I really know the world. ”

The situation that led to the unimaginable support of the Imperial Emperors was so cunning, and Malcolm made the wrong sound whether he understood it or not.

“I never thought that the Fifth Prince would cause civil war. I haven't seen it a few times, but the blood line of the Burgundian Emperor rarely seemed mild. ”

I didn't have to correct that misunderstanding.

"Either way, keep an eye on the situation of the Imperial Army and report to me as soon as you know the details. ”

I was about to get up from my place, and suddenly I heard the sound of the trumpet.

Buoooooooo.

It was a signal to inform the Empire Army of its approach.

I went straight up the wall.

The Ancient Rangers, clinging to the wall, told me about the situation.

“I don't think I'm here to attack the castle right now. ”

I followed the Ranger's hand and looked at the enemy from afar.

A group of knights looking at the citadel over here, fully armed.

Though well-organized weaponry and sharp armaments were not courteous, that was all.

The physician of the attack didn't seem to have a clue.

Even if there were, there was no way to defeat this huge citadel with just a hundred knights left.

“I'm not here to say goodbye. ”

After a brief look at the situation, the enemy Knights begin to approach this side.

“What do we do? Shall we shoot?”

The rangers raise their iron brains and look at me.

“Just say the word. The Iron Corps is ready to unleash lightning at any time. ”

The dwarf of the Iron Corps, who had run all the way to the battlefield and had never been in a changed battle, said to me.

I shake my head.

“I think I have something to tell you. Let's hear it. ”

The Knights of the Empire stop right in front of the range of the Iron Brain.

One of them, who appears to be the leader, steps forward and raises the helmet's armor.

And shouting in fluent kingdom language,

“The kingdom be ready to welcome the envoys of the Empire! ”

They came as messengers.

“What is this again...”

The Knights of the Citadel sullied in a sudden situation.

The reason why the Empire sent an envoy abruptly was because it did not know the reason.

“If you listen to it yourself, you'll see. ”

I told the Guard General of the Citadel to open the gate.

Soon the gates were opened, and the knights of the empire who were in envoys came to the quarters of the citadel. I ordered you to stand on the wall and reveal your business rather than take him down.

An Imperial envoy took a plea out of his arms.

“No poison. ”

“There is nothing but magic for the seal."

The Knights of the Citadel and the Wizards of the White Yard Tower confirmed the pledge and gave it to me.

The seal affixed to the pledge was the seal of the Empress of Bourgogne, which symbolized, among other things, the Three Princes.

”He can't handle it. “

I shake my head and tear the seal of the plea.

Then I took out the contents and read them.

Dear Brothers!

The contents of the bid began that way.
