I Favor the Villainess

"One, exile...?

Filine spewed out the words with a trembling voice.

The bewildered expression seemed to make Dorothea's words incredible.

"Wait, Sire Dorothea. Why did you take Lady Filine?"

"Shut up, Claire-François. It is a government within the Empire (every single one). Don't talk to outsiders."

"But...!

Still toward Master Claire trying to eat down, Dorothea turned a vicious grin.

"Or something? Is it not convenient for you to leave here for Filine?

- They're finding out.

Dorothea probably knows we were about to bow to her.

"Did you think I didn't know the rest? It's an insult. Filine is an empress, albeit a decoration. Always be subject to protection, and their actions are subject to reporting."

This seemed like our perception was sweet.

It seems Philine was being watched just because we didn't notice.

We were going to be careful there too, but apparently Dorothea was a better one.

"I missed it as far as connecting the pipes to the Ministry of Magic. As much as you wanted to praise your motivation for not doing anything before."

Staring at Filine, Dorothea continued, however.

"But anti-government forces are no good. They are the ones who bow to this Dorothea. Connecting with them is treason to the rest. I can't overlook this."

When Dorothea signaled by hand, the Kingsguards entered through the door between the sights.

The hand carries a weapon.

I stood and stood before Master Claire.

"Come on, Ray-Taylor. You miss it. It is a matter of this demonic tribe and a write-off. I owe you something from before. But never again."

While Dorothea speaks, Filine is detained.

Filine doesn't seem to be going to resist, she's making an adult out of it.

I thought you'd already noticed.

"Mother! As it is, the Empire will perish! Please listen to me!

I appealed to Dorothea in a strong tone.

His eyes, which dwelt with their strong light, had not yet given up.

"Do you want me to say something else? Fine. I'll listen to you."

Dorothea distorted her mouth as she had seen even the funny ones.

"The Empire is making too many enemies! The country will not stand like this!

"If you have enemies, until you kick them. I have done so and will continue to do so."

Dorothea's words were similar to those previously spoken by Hilda.

"That will do now! Not while your mother's alive! But if I lose my mother!? The Empire has become a country that cannot stand without its mother! You can't stay like this!

"The rest will die for the time being. And after the rest is dead, it is better for those who are later to think."

"Oh no...!

Isn't that too irresponsible for anything, Your Majesty?

I'm not going to idealize anything called a politician, but nevertheless something called an exchanger would work for the future of the country.

That's exactly what Filine is.

I am worried about the future of the Empire.

But Dorothea let go of saying that she would only know about while she was alive.

"Mother! What do you think the Emperor is!

"The Emperor? I'm not interested in that stuff. All you have to do is make sure you want to do the rest. Show your strength if you want to change the rest of your mind."

Dorothea's ramblings continue.

"Philine, you will have your justice. Naturally, there is a clear conflict between righteousness and evil. Politics is a collision of justice and justice. That is why we must have the power to speak of justice"

"Mother..."

"It's no different from words play such as Justice Without Power. Those who speak of ideals must do it themselves. To the powerless, I do not deserve to speak of my ideals"

Dorothea ran out of words.

Extreme theory.

polar theory, but it is one of truth.

How noble an ideal makes no sense without the power to shape it.

That's why I even call politics a power game.

But...

"Mother... power is zero."

…… What are you talking about?

Filine didn't break there.

Spin the words before Dorothea, the overwhelming strong, without pulling a step.

"Zero is zero no matter how much you line up. If you're wrong about that number, it's just violence."

This is what Filine would be trying to say.

Zero can only be 0000 no matter how many rows are arranged.

At the beginning of this, a specific number, for example, one, will come, and for the first time, it will be a large number of 1000.

If you make a mistake in the leading numbers, the greater the power - or zero - the more tragic the result, too.

"If justice is wrong, no matter how much power you have, it can only be a mistake. Admittedly, power matters. But justice is more important. Your mother is wrong."

Being admonished of his body, Filine said resolutely.

That weak Filine is now competing for a theory on par with Dorothea.

"Are you saying the rest is wrong?"

"Yes."

"... well said. This is the first time you've cut your fangs so far in the front. [M] Naturally, you're ready, aren't you?

"... Yes"

Seeing Filine's face as clear as a martyr, I thought no.

Filine is risking her life to sue her mother.

I am about to die for my own ideals.

But then you can't.

It seems to me that if justice is to be set up, it must be lived up until it is achieved.

You can't die.

Lady Claire had that aspect during the revolution, but I am very sorry that the more noble people are killed by their own ideals.

That's why I don't want people like that to die.

When I tried to open my mouth for a plea for help,

"Your Majesty, please wait"

I broke into a conversation between the two of them. I didn't like it.

"What, Grandpa? Don't pinch the extra mouth."

"That's not coming. Master Filine is a very good person. At least I think he is more politically worthy than the other princes who shrivel to His Majesty and say nothing."

Jiya spoke calmly.

The tone seemed as though it could deceive Philine and Dorothea from the expensive.

But he pulled the other bow.

"Master Filine is still young. Let's make mistakes too. Knowing the world, knowing the realities of politics, you will understand what His Majesty says."

"I'm -!"

"Dear Philine, That's all I'm saying. Now hold your mouth. I know this grandfather's lifelong favor."

……

Filine also silenced on Jiya's plea.

If you look closely, there was sweat on Jiya's forehead.

If you try Jiya, you will want to avoid that the bud named Filine, which may change the empire in a good direction, is picked at all costs.

In the course of earlier conversations, there could even be a development such as executions on this occasion, without having to wait for deportation from the country.

"Phew..., if Grandpa says so, definitely not. Shakedown to Filine shall be deported from the country, as previously announced."

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

"Take him."

Philine said she still said something, but more than that, she grabbed her mouth and was taken with great care.

"Claire-François to Ray-Taylor. If it were you, you would be ordered to leave the country, but you are grateful. I will leave the matter open. But don't give me any extra time."

Left to say so, Dorothea stood on the throne.

When it came to Claire and I, we could only drop it off as we thanked her.
