I Favor the Villainess

This dormitory is part of the military training camp of the Nar Empire.

We asked Otto's sister to meet us and were taken to the reception room.

Originally, it wasn't a place for outsiders to enter, but Claire and I got permission to enter here using a handler.

The only place where corporal and soldier eggs live is a simple building that is well built but has nothing to do with beauty.

This is even the reception room, so this dorm is really just a place to eat and sleep.

"Adelina-Liner, come in!

Probably the rules of the training camp.

Otto's sister, Adelina, entered the room after she shouted her name.

Adelina was a tall woman with short haircuts like a man, and she seemed to have only Otto's sister who was well trained.

He is wearing a functional brown uniform that would be paid for a soldier's apprenticeship.

Adelina first noticed Claire and I, and she had a sharp eye contact.

"Bauer's dog!? Why are you here?

The rhetoric of a bullet would mean that Philline was banished.

It would be terrible to say I did.

"What a nice greeting. It's about knowing the quality of the Empire's soldiers."

"You!?

Well, Claire is not the kind of person who has been told to stay, so this is the situation, but considering the purpose of today's visit, I would like you to refrain a little.

"That's not what I can stand up for."

Adelina looked at the calm voice of the Lord that echoed in the room.

"Yes, Joseph!?

"Adelina-Liner, I'm sorry to call you so suddenly."

Yes, it is.

In addition to Claire and me, there is Haji-no-san here.

As I mentioned earlier, one of the handlers is also about him.

"Why is Joseph with a human enemy?!

Adelina acknowledged Claire and I and told Joseph to blame.

"There's a truce now. Bauer is not an enemy state."

"Not in front of the building. And because of both of them, Philline...."

"What I'm here for today is something to do with Philline. Sit down first."

It's an impression of Jiya-san who is usually swayed by Dorothea, but it's still serving the king of a country.

I gave it to Adelina in a perfectly honest way.

Adelina was still displeased, but for the time being she sat down according to Yama-san's words.

"There's nothing else to talk about. About the riot you're secretly planning. I came to stop it."

Jiya-san used a euphemism, but she still thought of Adelina.

Blood came from her face.

"... I don't know what you're talking about."

Still, I suppose it's because she's not the only one who can get rid of it.

If she confesses here, all those who participated in the coup will be exhausted.

Adelina has no choice but to cut the syllables.

"Then let me be clear. Stop the coup d 'état planned for the summit day."

Jiya-san used the word "coup" clearly this time.

Adelina's face turned pale.

Someone in the prime minister's position knows about the coup.

That is to say, their schemes are exposed to the country.

"We can still make it now. His Majesty Dorothea is forgiving to those who turn to him, but forgiving to those who repent. Stop being stupid."

"Stupid imitation..."

Adelina's eyes were closed.

"Now, as you may know, isn't it a foolish imitation to expel your daughter, Philline, who was also concerned about the future of the Empire? Besides, Philline died....."

Adelina couldn't finish.

She is gripping her hand with regret because she is crying at the corner of her eyes.

She must have admired Philline so much.

"It's not like I'm supposed to tell you that you're just a soldier, but Philline's excursion is to worry about her. Your Majesty will be your majesty, and you will feel sorry for Philline."

"But Philline is dead!

Adelina shouted to block Jiya's words.

She won't try to hide the tears that spill anymore.

With the passion overflowing, I hit Jiya-san with words.

"He didn't deserve to die here! You must have worked with us to shape the future of this country! And yet... and yet...!

……

The Philline I know is a normal girl who is basically shy and weak to push, somewhere pompous, but not among them.

To be honest, I didn't think Philline was so admired.

Is this also the main character correction?

Jiya kept telling Adelina, but after a while she opened her mouth strictly.

"You must be a soldier. What soldiers have to do is not to think about the future of their country. The orders from above were never taught.

"I know! But is this country okay as it is!? Isn't this country no longer worth risking our lives!?

Give me a minute, Adelina-Liner.

Jiya-san's voice was amazing.

Not only Adelina, but Claire and I have also unexpectedly corrected our posture.

"Why do you think you soldiers are given weapons? To make him use it, as the state has ordered. Don't get me wrong."

Jiya-san said coldly.

I thought it looked like a dollar in political mode somewhere.

"Your power is not yours. It belongs to the country. All the money used to raise you, all the money from the country. You are only allowed to wave for your country."

What Jiya-san says is that if you're a soldier, you're being beaten to death.

He's trying to remind Adelina of it.

"And... you seem to be mistaken, but Philline is alive?

"... eh?

Adelina looked suspicious of my ears.

It must have been an unexpected word.

"As you know, the Empire has many enemies. He died on purpose to avoid the danger of assassination. Philline will be alive."

"But, my hair...!

"The hair and the blood attached to it are real. But that's all. It's a play to convince people to pretend to be dead."

Adelina's skepticism has not faded.

"I understand. But do you have any proof that Philline is still alive?

"What would you do if you pretended to be dead in the play and left such evidence behind?"

"Well, that's...."

When she finally saw Adelina, Jiya held her temples down.

"Adelina... Why are you so rigid and awkward? Think more carefully. It was also quick for the information to be communicated to us about the assassination, which was premature after we were banished. The Empire princess has been assassinated in the first place, and that Dorothea will not be able to stand in retribution. If you're a little overwhelmed, you'll soon realize this is a play."

Jiya-san glanced at me.

Well, I didn't think so.

"Well then... Philline-sama..."

"Ah, I'll still be studying."

Adelina covered her face with her hands and began to cry.

I'm glad... I'm glad... and relieved.

Philline was really admired.

"Did you get the message? Stop foolishly imitating coups. What's wrong with that?"

"- No"

……

When she wiped her face with a handkerchief, Adelina intercepted Jiya's words.

"With Philline dying, our hearts became more and more solidified. We will decide on a coup and welcome the princess as our new monarch."
