I Favor the Villainess

The cooperative relationship with the magic and technological forces of the Empire was built relatively smoothly.

Having resolved their greatest interest: the box of contraindications.

That Hilda kept her promise.

In addition to them, some magic tech forces already seemed to have a sense of crisis about the prosperity of the empire today being supported by one superman named Dorothea.

As a magic tech force, we cannot hold power ourselves as long as Dorothea is alive.

On the other hand, without Dorothea, the empire itself would not stand, and it would cease to be a place of power.

In that, the offer from the presence of Filine seemed to be a ship on the crossing.

Supporting the pillars of the Empire in place of Dorothea and at the same time devouring itself into the centre of power by transforming foreign policy - it seems to draw such a structure.

Whether that turns out to be the case or not, from here on out is the show of Philine's arms.

"That's why we have more new people. It's Hilda."

"What is it, princess, how to introduce it"

We're in Filine's room now.

The members are Philine, Hilda and Dear Claire, my four.

Master Yu or Misha are not here.

The reasons for this will be discussed later.

"So, it's time to take in the next force."

"Do you have that?

"Claire, you said it before. What about the anti-government forces?"

"Oh, you're gonna spread your hands there,"

"Yes. I've already decided to be ready, too. If we want to win the future of the Empire, we will not choose the means."

Philine is also becoming a lot more reliable.

"Wait a minute, please. Are you an anti-government force? I didn't ask."

Hilda made a stop.

"In the first place, the very existence of such a force is the first ear, isn't it?

"That's right. It's a life-threatening activity for them. If Hilda knew it was close to the heart of the government, wouldn't that have been solemn?"

"That's right..."

The situation is completely different from the resistance that arose in Bauer during the revolutionary period.

They were only able to operate heavily because Bauer had weakened and the government had lost popular support.

Initially, anti-government forces are unknown and secretly expanding forces.

Ideally, the government is so powerful that it can't help itself when it realizes it.

The forces that are not are crushed by the government to an end.

"I disagree with joining hands with such forces"

"Hilda......"

"The princess's deeds must be just. Anti-government forces are the exact opposite. Hands in hand with such a person, etc."

"Is it?

"Huh?"

Filine questioned Hilda, who speaks out against him.

"To say the word with anti-government forces, I hear from the Clares that the entity is the people of a religious state that was originally destroyed by the Empire. So can an empire that took its country from them be called justice?

"It's..."

"They have their own say. There is justice. No matter how much it takes to change this country, I'm not going to work with evil. But I don't think they're evil."

……

Hilda pressed silently as she was surprised.

"Uh... what's up, Hilda? Did I say something strange?

"No, I'm just surprised. Princess, you've changed. No, you may have been that way before, but you mean it came forward..."

"Is that a compliment?

"Yeah, definitely. You're absolutely right. They also have justice. Originally, the war that inspired them was not justice and evil, but the collision between justice and justice."

I'm glad the princess understands that, Hilda laughed.

"As it were, well, I mean I'm not always a decorative princess either. Claire and Ray worked out."

"It's interesting to see what guidance you had. Tell me later."

"Of course.... hey, you talked about it. So, I'm talking about anti-government forces... Claire?

"Yes, I did."

Master Claire nodded loudly and started talking.

"As things stand, there are three anti-government forces operating in the Empire. America, Dhana, Kiko -- all the people of a religious nation destroyed by the Empire."

"Do you have three..."

Hilda stopped.

By the way, Master Claire has knowledge around here because of the original knowledge I tapped into before coming to the Empire.

Master Claire was raised by the eagles!

"Even when it comes to religious states, the fundamentals are spiritual sects. These are the countries that broke up because of differences in doctrine and interpretation."

This neighborhood resembles the Buddhist sects in the original world.

The great yuan is the same, but it has been branched out in the course of history.

The most prestigious and historic is the one centred on Bauer Cathedral, but each of the branched sects was also powerful enough to form a country.

I did not allow Master Yu and Misha to be present on this occasion, because when there are two people belonging to Bauer Cathedral, the conversation becomes more difficult due to religious cues.

Ultimately, I need you to report it and convince me, but as of now, I'd still like to hide it.

I don't talk until I decide to make a full move.

"The three forces were independent of each other, but there's been a move here recently to rally forces. In the background, there's the tri-national alliance of Suse, Appalachia and Bauer."

"You're going to take this opportunity and move to defeat the Empire at once."

I supplemented Lady Claire's explanation.

Master Claire nodded and continued.

"It is the people of a country called America, the most powerful of the three sects, who are taking the tone. You might be able to say that the people of Kiko and Dhana are broken."

Instead of turning against each other, we decided to join forces and stand up to the Empire.

If we missed the period of Suse and the other tri-national alliances, we would have thought that the reconstruction of our motherland would no longer be possible.

"Then should we make contact with that American people and attach our cooperation?

"That would be best, but I don't think it's going to be easy."

"Why not?

"They live in hiding their identity, and because they are prepared to self-determination on the spot, assuming they find out they are an anti-government force"

"Oh... do you keep secrets that much..."

Filine groans.

Faith can sometimes make a person without faith act incomprehensible.

Growing up in a non-religious country, I don't understand, but strong beliefs can take precedence over life.

Few priests actually risked their lives to perform funerals on patients who died in isolation from their families when certain infectious diseases became endemic in the twenty-first century world.

Those who live in faith have something more important than their lives.

"How do you expect me to work with those people?

I could see the color of giving up that Hilda's eyes wouldn't be able to.

"It's hard, but it's not impossible."

I assured you.

"So how?

"It's not easy to die. We negotiate with people in positions. For example... the royalty of the original country or something"

To put it this far, a pin would come to those who come with it.

But it sounds like a cloud-grabbing story to Hilda without prior knowledge.

"That may be the case, but the more cautious you are in that position, right? How do you find it?

"You don't need to find it. Because I already know."

"... called the contraindication box thing, what the hell is going on with your information network?

"It's a NISHO"

I can't even say original knowledge or anything.

"Please stop messing around. So who is it, who is it?"

I've been asking as if Filine had been twisted.

I don't mean to be a mess.

"Master Filine knows you well, too."

"Huh?"

It's Frieda.

"Oh Frieda...... I see"

Uh, and the time of Filine stopped,

"Yes!?

And from her face in the sky, she could read exactly what she thought of Frieda.
