What is the worst that can be done?

It's a betrayal.

I, [Liam Sella Banfield], who suffered a terrible betrayal in my previous life, was reincarnated into the family of the Count of the Star Empire, the Algrand Empire.

He was born a winner, and now he's a duke.

He also won the Empire's successor battle and is now reigning supreme in the Empire.

I was planning the worst betrayal in the world.

It's a legitimate right for me, but it's an ugly thing to do from the other side.

After all, I'm trying to betray the Third Prince Cleo I promised.

The story goes back a little bit, but I've supported Cleo so far in his quest to be emperor.

With enormous funds and a sophisticated army, Cleo was pushed to the status of Crown Prince.

So what do you say?

Cleo, who had become a crown prince, judged me to be in the way and turned against him.

I'm angry, but at the same time I think it's a chance.

After all - this will betray the Empire.

Betrayal is an everyday business for me, who aspires to be the Lord of Evil.

To be honest, I knew Cleo would betray her one day.

I've learned in my previous life that humans exist to that extent.

That's why I'm not so furious.

- But I'll have Cleo and the Empire pay for betraying me.

For that reason, it was now a top priority to increase the strength of the ground.

Milord, the settlement of the exploration planet is behind schedule, but it is acceptable.

I frowned while listening to the report of Tenjo in the office.

We're a few percent behind schedule, but we certainly don't have to be so blunt.

It's acceptable, but the problem is, I can't afford it right now.

Now that I've decided to fight the Algrand Empire, I need a little help.

To do so, a few percent lag is not to be missed.

However, reclamation is not a good result in a hurry, and even if you hurry, the impact on the whole is minimal.

So what do we do?

- All we have to do is get the planet that's been reclaimed.

"It's not a bad tunnel, but it doesn't take much time.Tenjo, the situation in your territory is turning into a torch. List the incompetent nobles. "

Incompetent aristocrats - those who are increasing their debts in order to live in luxury without developing their own territory.

As soon as Tenjo had prepared the list, I looked at it and frowned.

"-There's a lot of them."

"The Empire is vast."Nevertheless, I struggle with understanding. If we had managed our territory more efficiently, our empire would have multiplied its power many times over. ”

It is ridiculous that the power of the nation has been greatly diminished because the nobles have been entrusted with the task of governing.

But, ironically, that promised me victory over the Empire.

"The Empire is not interested in frontiers."---Tenjo, let's get this planet. "

Milord, there is a lord on your planet?

What I was trying to get was a planet ruled by the Viscount.

It's not very developed, and there's nothing to see in a territory full of debts.

Such a planet was caught in the eye because the Viscount was living on the capital planet.

In other words, the Viscount is not interested in territory.

"Buy the planet from this incompetent Viscount."It's easier to get what you already have than to start from scratch. "

As my territory used to be, we can develop if we have some foundation.

"You think I'm paying off the Viscount's debt?So you're going to let go of your territory? "

Pride is only for incompetence.

You won't let go of your territory easily.

"In addition to the debt, if you give me money to play and live with for life, I'll be happy to let you go."

It hurts a little for me to have that kind of budget.

Even though I had an alchemy box, I had a limited budget.

To be honest, the Empire is better than me with an alchemy box.

Rare Metals are always gathered from all over the world, and other resources are gathered in large quantities even if they are silent.

Even if I used an alchemy box, I couldn't overturn it.

The feeling of worrying about me from Tenjo could be conveyed without any expression.

Are you serious about fighting the Empire?

“Of course, Cleo betrayed me first.If I don't win here, I don't have a future.Don't worry, I'll never lose. "

With the blessing of the Conductor, I cannot be defeated.

When you choose a planet to buy, Tenjo starts talking about Ellen.

I see. I'll change my mind, but I want to talk to you about Ellen.

"Ellen? I was throwing you into juvenile school, what happened?"

“I graduated from early childhood school a long time ago.This time, military life is over, and we are now preparing for college at the Capital Star.Why don't you let him go home? ”

While things were bumpy, military life was over, rather than in early childhood school.

Tenjo projects Ellen's reputation as a soldier into the air.

Eventually, he became a major and won several medals.

It's early. I feel like I sent you out the other day.

"That's all, Milord was busy."

After completing adulthood, I decided that there was no problem with age and threw it into the early childhood school.

Ellen is not an aristocrat by nature, so she will not be admitted to an early childhood school.

I pushed myself into power because I couldn't take care of Ellen for a while.

I'm really busy running the territory.

My training and my work are full of it.

I wanted to teach Ellen severely as a person who would inherit the flow.

However, because I didn't have the time, I threw it into the early childhood school with a painstaking measure.

I wanted to keep it with my master if possible, but it was rejected.

It's not right for me to suffer a deep wound and not release it for a second already.

The next two candidates were Feng Hua, a younger disciple, and Tan Feng.

Both of them are now frequent visitors to the Master's house.

Master's son, [happiness], seemed cute and went to see how he was doing.

I was so relieved that I couldn't keep Ellen.

--After the job is done, I will take care of you on behalf of the master.

All of them are not allowed to go to the Master's house to play.

Even though I want to show my face, I work from morning till night.

I can't complain because I am increasing the work.

"Let Ellen continue to go to college."

Immediately deciding on a policy, Tenjo seemed dissatisfied.

His face was expressionless, but he took it as a disciple and didn't take care of it?The feeling is manifested.

“I haven't confirmed your intentions?”

"I'm busy. - Send Ellen's mother to the capital star."

Let's make time for parents and children.

Does Tenjo seem a little daunted by my judgment, or does he hate it a little?

"I'm busy myself."If you buy and develop a planet, you'll be even busier. ”

If Ellen becomes a knight, will you help me with my work?

"-Mr. Milord"

The castle narrowed my eyes, so I shrunk my neck and went back to work.

After I finished the work in front of me, I leaked the truth to Tenjo.

"To tell you the truth, the Banfields don't have enough generals for their strength."That's why I'm counting on Ellen. "

Originally, I wanted to focus only on the flash, but I couldn't afford to let it play.

And since I could do it, I also had hopes that Ellen could do it.

It seemed that Tenjo also cared about the number of generals.

There are a lot of talented people, but there aren't many super-class people like Klaus.

Klaus, Tier, Marie, and the Shadows were all granular, starting with Klaus.

But there weren't enough of them.

This is no problem if you're a lord, but it's a big deal if you're dealing with the Empire.

Well, how do we get the numbers together?

This is a problem, but it is not enough to have a good elite who have finished their education.

It means I want a strong man who has experienced the actual battle and has a proven track record.

Not as much as Klaus before we fight the Empire - at least we need a tier, a Marie-Class, or something a little inferior.

If you ask the guide, can you arrange it for me?

- Unfortunately, the bugs are too good.

I usually take care of it, so I'll take care of it myself this time.



Around that time.

The Conductor was in the star of the capital of the Algrand Empire.

I was sitting on the trash can in the dirty alley, sad.

"Damn it. I hate Liam. I hate him."

The guide, who was only in hat, wept from his unknown eyes.

She was leaking her throat and complaining badly to Liam.

Why is the Conductor here?Why are you crying?

It's all Liam's fault.

When I tried to play a prank at my wedding with Rosetta, it bounced back hundreds of times.

Losing his body and worn out, he came to the stars of the Empire's capital, where negative emotions swirl.

“It's really settling down here. Negative emotions flow in just by being there.It's like a wonderful planet prepared for me. "

Feeling comfortable with the accumulated negative emotions, the facilitator plans the future operation.

Just then, a passing person threw away the electronic paper and took it in his hand.

If you spread it out, it's a lot of old newspapers.

"We have to get information from paper scraps like this.― ― Why did I fall so far?

I used to just snip my fingers and get the scenes and all kinds of information I wanted to see.

And now it's scratched, too weak to do anything about it.

If you spread the newspaper quietly, some of the articles will be played.

The part of the photo became a video.

The rumor spread that Crown Prince Cleo's relationship with the Duke of Banfield had deteriorated--

Even in the capital star, Liam and Cleo's theory of non-arbitration is spreading.

The Conductor knew, but apparently they broke up completely.

However, the present guide can't make a move.

"I want to give Cleo my full support, but I can't do anything right now. I'm so sore on my teeth

Tears fall on the electronic paper.

The Conductor looked up at the starry sky in the capital.

The stars in the capital are fake, enclosing the planet in metal and completely controlling the weather.

It's just a visual on the shell that covers the planet.
