I Favor the Villainess

"The Empire is at war everywhere, isn't it?

Mr. Dollar said while turning over the materials at hand.

It is not enough to list all the countries on the deck as water.

"You really can't hold back anymore."

"Isn't there a problem?

"Funny, forgive me. Keep going."

Ah, let me do that.

Mr. Dollar said that if he wanted to, he could not say three countries, but call on all of these countries, and carry out large-scale military operations.

"You think you can do something left-hand?

"I can do it. And even where you think you're ruling now, it's going to explode in many places. You don't know that, do you?

Diplomacy is cut off and hostiles surround their overly expansive lands - nothing but nightmares for politicians.

But Dorothea replied without moving a single eyebrow.

"What happened to the edge of the country? If the middle is safe, that's fine. As long as the rest is alive, the Empire is immortal."

How many people in this world can say this without glorifying or bluffing?

Dorothea is out of line, but the dollar hasn't lost either.

"Your body rots from the edge. I have with me a summary of the Empire's food self-sufficiency rate. You're spending too much money on the military, and it's slowly falling."

"This is a time of war. You'll need to do that."

"That's right. But in this state, if we keep burning the fields out of the border territory... we'll have a hell of a famine in a few years."

The dollar smiled harshly.

He says terrible things with a cool face.

"Let's have fun. Watching the resentful opponent starve. We don't need to go deep. We need to defend ourselves with just a few parts. Leave your country behind and gather plenty of supplies."

Is that so? Then we can respond with looting. "

"Can you do that? Your country is tough, but shinshinshin is one. I'll burn five on the other side while I take it."

"... let me tell you, Dollar-François."

"It's an honor to remember your name."

In fact, what Mr. Dollar is saying makes sense.

No matter how powerful the Empire may be, all the neighboring countries have turned against each other.

Of course, things will not go so simply, but it is not a dream story to create a pseudo-assumption like Dol-sama said.

Nevertheless...

"Hmm...."

"What's bothering you so much, Ray?

"No, I thought Dorothea looked like someone else. Not the appearance, but the intensity and tyranny."

"Would such a tyrant have been so easy?"

No, but somewhere...

"Ah, I see. It's the dollar before the revolution."

…… ..... ah "

Dollmaster kept moving for his cause by turning himself into a villain.

The figure of Dorothea subtly overlapped with him.

It may be my mistake.

"In the first place, why are you so anxious for unrealistic things like global reunification by your own country? I didn't even throw away the sweetness I deserved."

"Sweet? The rest is sweet, my lord."

Dorothea's voice was mixed with a dangerous color.

However, Mr. Dollar doesn't mind.

"I let my treasonable daughter escape into the safety zone by banishing her from the country, and my friends in other countries don't care.... How sweet are you to your daughter?"

Joseph certainly said something similar.

Dorothea wonders about Philline.

It must be said that Dorothea is indeed sweet when pointed out this way.

"Hmm, don't slap your mouth like you understand. I've never had a stomach ache."

"That's the sadness of a man's parents. But at least I know one thing."

"Huh? What's that?

It's what parents think of their daughters.

――

Dorothea's eyes opened in surprise.

"... Claire and Ray are my daughters. That's why I thank them for their warmth."

"... no, it's out of place."

Dorothea is puzzled by the sudden apology of the dollar.

The dollar went on.

"Dorothea, it's time to find out what you really are. What are you trying to do by yourself? Aren't we going to be able to get along?

……

Dorothea kept quiet.

There are many mysteries about her purpose.

I have said the reason for sticking to aggressive diplomacy, but the root part remains unknown after all.

"I can give you guidance here. But I don't want that to happen to you, who saved my daughters' lives. Could you talk to me, please?

It was rather close to a plea.

Dollar must be buying a monarch named Dorothea.

As a capable statesman, he spares his life.

But Dorothea's answer...

"It's too insulting, Dollar-François."

Dorothea shouted in an unbelievable voice.

"Do you think Dorothea-Nor will be more enthusiastic? You fool."

"Don't you think you should be stronger? This is a chess check."

William nodded, as did Manaria and His Majesty Sein.

But Dorothea was a stubborn man.

"Show your strength if you want to surrender to the rest of the world. Alliance of neighboring countries? Yeah, try it. Let's kick the rest of it out and show them."

Dorothea said that with a look that resembled madness.

It is impossible to think of such a thing, but she feels strangely persuasive when she says it.

This charisma is the culmination of Dorothea.

"Dorothea, this is the last time. Change your foreign policy and join the new international order."

Manaria-sama put an ultimatum to Dorothea.

In contrast, Dorothea's answer is:

"Shit, I can't beat anyone else. The rest is Dorothea-Nar."

It was a clear no.

Starting with the dollar, disappointment falls to the allies.

Nobody talked for a while.

"Hmm, it's a split. Farewell..."

"Ray!? Watch out, Ray!

I had no idea what was going on.

When I noticed, Manaria-sama was kneeling on the floor and bleeding from her shoulders.

"Onee-sama!?

"Dear Manaria!!

I don't know, but Manaria fell under my cover.

Perhaps the perpetrator...

"First of all, it's fundamental to cut down where it's most likely to be a threat."

It was Dorothea who was pulling out his sword before long.

"What are you... going to do, Dorothea!"

Manaria asked sharply, holding the shoulder of the jacket of the suit dyed with Mirimi's blood.

"What, it's simple. There are a number of key hostile figures here. I was just trying to get rid of it here."

"Ha...!?

That's what Dorothea says.

Kill everyone in this room.

"Ray, get ready!

Claire's sharp voice echoed.

When I realized it, Dorothea's appearance was approaching.

"I won't let you!

Manaria-sama also took the sword shot of Dorothea's Shinto, who could not be followed by his eyes.

"Manaria-Sousse. Your weakness is that you can't abandon someone you love."

"As long as I'm like you, I'm fine -!"

When Manaria stepped deeply and flashed her sword, Dorothea's body separated.

"Gu...!

"Dear Manaria!

"Ray, take care of this right away!"

It's no use. It's no use.

Dorothea put her sword up.

"You will die here. No one, no one, no one, no one, no one."
