Celina, who was transported to the capital by the Banff fleet, immediately visited the Chancellor, who was working at the palace.
At first, my men left, but now we're alone in the office.
"--Did you notice about you?"
“Yes, the dark parts of the Banfields are excellent. It seems to inherit the moves of the dark spaces leaping in the stars of the capital.”
Isn't the dark side of Kukri the descendants of the dark side that once hid in the palace?
The Chancellor agrees with Selina's predictions.
"It's within my imagination to say that I have defeated Lord Linus and Lord Calvin." Is it the warmth of the Duke of Banfield that brought you to me safely? ”
Selina shook her head at the Prime Minister's question.
"You must be broken. The Duke continues to increase his military strength." We've done a lot of damage in the war against the Reigning Kingdom a few years ago, but we've done that. ”
Selina projects the information she has before the Chancellor.
The Chancellor narrowed his eyes as more data appeared in the air.
"--I didn't just get a few rare metal resource satellites." Looks like the Berkeley family that destroyed them once had something. ”
To the unusual, the Prime Minister also decides that Liam has something special in his possession.
But it didn't look like I was in a hurry.
Selina continued.
"I have to judge that it was the will to rebel. If you keep your hand on this, the Banfields will have an even more sophisticated army and will turn their backs on the Empire.”
After the war with the kingdom, the Banfields' armies had the experience of surviving the war.
Selina, knowing that it was a terrible thing, became more vigilant.
In contrast, at first, he gave a sinister expression.
"I think so, and I have already spoken to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Any further deterioration of the relationship could cause great damage to both sides. "
"So, are you on your way to improving your relationship?"
Thinking that the Empire had acknowledged the work of the Banff family and switched to nostalgic measures, Celina's expression was a little loose.
I must have been relieved to have been taken care of for nearly a hundred years.
However, the Prime Minister immediately denies it.
"If so, how good would it have been?" - The Empire is going to destroy the Banfields. I was told that it was okay to return all the territory to the ashes. "
"No way!?"
To Celina's surprise as to how far she would go, the Chancellor asks Liam how he was doing.
"It's true. And then he was worried about the duke." I heard that you were very exhausted in the battle against the Reigning Kingdom. "
What's the truth? Selina answers the question honestly.
As a prime minister's spy, I had no choice but not to answer.
"--It seemed like a very fierce battle, and I was deeply wounded." I know it's been treated, but it seems to be less effective. ”
Liam would naturally be treating him - the Chancellor nods, and imagines how tough the battle with the Overlord was.
"This is the opponent who has been tormenting the Empire for many years." The duke who invaded the stars of the capital of the kingdom is definitely a hero, but the price seems to have been high. "
Even with Liam's heroism, he lost his spirit in the battle against the Reigning Kingdom and won a near victory.
◇
Why am I here?
Even though I had only been here once, I still vividly remembered the throne of the Reigning Kingdom.
It is a place reminiscent of the Parthenon of ancient Greece, with a big, tall, muscular man standing in front of him.
The man was the king of the kingdom, a tough man called the king.
Such a dominant king dyed his cheeks red.
She was ashamed as a maiden, and her twisted figure was strangely terrifying.
But the real fear is from here.
"I want to have your son."
- No way, the man in the man! I didn't expect a conqueror like you to say such a dialogue.
Who would think they'd confess in the first place?
A cold sweat gushed out and I screamed.
"Noooo!!"
A pathetic scream resounded in the throne room.
◇
"Noooo!!"
Jumping up on the bed, I look around with my torso up.
Familiar rooms with familiar furniture.
His heart is beating fast, and he's making loud noises.
The sweat is blowing out and it is disgusting.
When I wiped the sweat off my forehead, Rosetta, who was supposed to be sleeping next to me, was out of bed.
I have water in a cup in my hand.
"Darling, you've been naming me again." Here, drink some water. "
"--Get it."
I grabbed a glass from Rosetta and drank it all at once.
Horrible. A very horrible dream.
After winning from the Reigning Kingdom, the Reigning King appears again and again as a nightmare.
"Damn - I hate the Overlord."
I won, so why are you eating my heart out here?
When Rosetta sits down next to me, she hugs me and consoles me.
"It's okay. It's okay, darling."
Seeing Rosetta moistening her eyes, I felt a little sorry for her.
My nightmare - I only told Tenjo that I was naming the Overlord.
Confessed by the Overlord, I couldn't teach because I was embarrassed to have nightmares.
Thanks to it, Rosetta and her surroundings are misunderstood.
The battle with the Overlord Kingdom was tough enough for me to wipe out my spirit.
That's not true.
The army took a lot of damage, but I tried to win.
And yet, I'm frightened of the Overlord.
- I was pathetic.
I will never forgive you, you dominant son of a bitch.
The only person who cornered me to this point was the Overlord.
◇
A star in the capital of the Empire.
Two glasses of seven-color liquids were placed on the table in the center between the wide windows.
Sitting in a chair between a small round table were Algrand Emperor [Bagrada] and the Crown Prince [Cleo].
Cleo feels a variety of flavors in his mouth when he drinks the seven-color suspicious liquid with a straw.
If you think it tastes like sweets and tea, you can feel the refreshing and refreshing feeling that the sweetness disappears when you swallow it.
It is a very strange drink, but they are both used to drinking it, and I don't think they care.
Bagrada talks about drinks as she sneezes.
"That's all these days." You can enjoy all kinds of flavors, and it's perfect for nourishing. "
Cleo laughed at it as if he was in trouble.
I hear it's a cheap treat that ordinary people eat?
"I'm getting tired of the luxury." That's enough for now. "
At the end of such a parent-child conversation, the two of them get down to business.
Bagrada tells Cleo what he heard from the Chancellor.
"More than that, a few years have passed since the battle against the Reigning Kingdom." The Duke of Banff hasn't healed his heart from the war. ”
Cleo laughed badly at Bagrada, who was happy to tell her.
“That's the best part. Liam would have been too good to be unharmed against the Overlord."
"The Empire is also a country that has suffered for many years." ― ― Now, it's time to get serious.
Bagrada said that, and he drank the seven-color liquid and placed the empty glass on the table.
At the same time, information is displayed around the two of them about the people associated with the Banff family.
Elliot of the Clarebe Chamber of Commerce.
Introduction to Newlands Patrice.
And the leading faces of the Seventh and Third Weapon Factories.
In addition, there were hotels on the list where Liam and the others were based in the capital.
Cleo glances at them and hits his jaw.
"You're the ones who kick the stars out of the capital, aren't you?" However, I think the third weapons factory is a bit of a waste. The products were very popular in the Empire. "
Bagrada shrugs his shoulders at Cleo, who wants to leave behind the Third Arms Factory.
"I'm afraid we're too close to the Banfields." Besides, other weapons factory officials have asked for it. When the third one disappears, many people are happy. "
It would be better if the third one disappeared from the other rival weapons factories.
Some of them got the information and complained to Bagrada to expel the third.
Cleo nodded tinyly.
Then I can't help it.
"The next popular factory will appear soon." Besides, we need two weapons factories to work with the Banfields. ”
“I couldn't believe it when I first heard that you were helping your enemies.”
To Cleo's horror, Bagrada giggles.
You seem to be taking the act of sending salt to the enemy lightly.
No, rather...
"It's more fun that way, isn't it?" In the Empire, the other weapons factories will be brought into full operation and weapons will be mass produced. We need to get the Imperial Army factory up and running. "
If the arsenal is half-official, the factory is a pure army run by the Imperial Army.
We have gathered data from all of the weapons factories and are producing Imperial weaponry.
However, only part of the Imperial fleet can operate the weapons the factory has built.
It was deployed only to the elite fleet.
Cleo complains directly to Bagrada.
"When you send your army, let me do it for you, Commander-in-Chief." I'll be sure to report the victory. ”
Whether it's Liam, who has become the greatest noble of the Empire, there is no chance of winning if the entire Empire turns against its enemies. Cleo, who decided to do so, came forward to the Commander-in-Chief.
Bagrada nods spookily, fulfilling Cleo's wish.
But...
Fine, but let's leave it to someone else to actually take command.
Cleo could not refuse this proposal.
After all, I have acquired military knowledge in educational capsules, but I have no actual experience.
I understand that this would be a terrible abstention, commanding millions of fleets.
“Thank you. So who will actually be in command? Are you an Imperial serviceman?"
Baglara answers with a little anxiety.
"Shall I be Marquis Hampson? He's an aristocrat who trusts the borders, so he has a lot of experience in warfare. Besides, it's okay to be awful. I think it would be appropriate to burn down the Banfields' territory."
Bagrada named the worst of the nobles he could count on.
And I will continue to dispatch the famous fleet.
"We need to send Cosmo's fleet." I'm sure you'll be happy to join your friends. ”
When she heard Cosmo, Cleo spoke to someone she thought of.
"General Cosmo of the Special Assignment fleet?" Certainly, a space pirate like him would be the greatest irony to Liam. ”
As Bagrada remembers, he says he wants to add another person to the party.
"Oops, we have to get Viscount Tride to join us." Like the Duke, he's an ascendant, so he'll be happy to join us. --Then, let's put Dustin on it. "
"-Are you Sword Saint Dustin? If you break into the stream, the Empire will lose all of its Sword Saint?"
Dustin is the last Sword Saint left in the Empire.
The Empire was trying to avoid letting the Banffs fight.
But the Emperor would definitely like to join them.
"No, I named you as the Sword Saint, so let's do our best." Cleo, I'll keep them. "
Cleo, entrusted with the good ones, smiles with a cold sweat.
“I'll be sure to report the victory.”
(If we lose this, we will lose our position as Crown Prince.)
Unbeatable battles - it's only natural to win in the first place.
Cleo asks Bagrada one last time.
So, what's the time?
"About ten years, including the preparation period?" - Well, in no time at all. "
To Bagrada's answer, Cleo had a complicated view of the ten-year preparation period. It's been a long time, but it seems short to fight Liam.
(Ten years. Ten years and I'll beat Liam!)
