Imperial University on Capital Star.
It is called a university there, but it is a collection of a number of universities.
The number of students attending is very high, as are the buildings.
Depending on the choice of class, the classmates you enroll with may not even face each other once.
It was - Rosetta - walking on such a large campus.
I have long blonde hair set on a vertical roll.
You might stand out with that hairstyle, but this is a national university on the Imperial Capital Star.
With people from various stars, there are many bizarre hairstyles and they are not noticeable.
It is as if the masquerade competitions and cultural festivals are open every day.
Around Rosetta were aristocratic daughters brought from the locality of Liam.
The daughters of the house, who mainly refer to Liam as their foster parents, are the daughters of the children's house if you want to briefly explain their position.
While they went to college, it was their job to take care of Rosetta.
It's like a grand aristocrat enrolled with his surroundings, which makes it a sight not uncommon.
"Dear Rosetta, what will you do for lunch today?
"How about a learning meal or something?
"You can't eat in such a place."
"That's good. It's gonna be a memory of college life."
I'm walking with him, but he's noisy because he's also a student.
However, Rosetta doesn't pay attention either.
Because I also know how they feel shaking.
"Sometimes the student canteen is nice. Shall we have lunch there, then?"
When Rosetta affirms, the surrounding two rejoice.
A serious looking kid with glasses spoke to Rosetta.
"Dear Rosetta, their purpose is to..."
I know, I know.
The student cafeteria brings together a variety of students.
Inside, students taking classes in other school buildings come all the way.
The reason for this is - numbness.
The nobles were also playing with their identities hidden.
Play as a student - I want to enjoy my free time.
A few of Rosetta's surroundings also looked like they wanted to find someone to play with.
"Are you sure?
"I forgive you if the degrees have not passed. Besides, they wouldn't have a fiancée, would they? I'm not going to be unfaithful."
"But if it's prenup, it'll be a hassle."
"It's not unusual now. Besides, I hear a lot of people find someone here in the future. If you're serious, I won't stand in your way."
Rosetta is also a little worried when she comes out of the country to the city and sees those who are shaking.
However, even if it was too tight, there would be dissatisfaction, and it was an opportunity to see their humanity in the first place.
Don't interrupt.
If we do anything, we're just talking about taking responsibility for ourselves.
When the Rosettas headed to the student cafeteria, there was Liam.
"Ah, darling."
Rosetta dyeing her cheeks, trying to get close to Liam - but somehow she was seriously discussing it with Wallace, so I didn't distract her and speak up.
◇
"Liam, we were playing something else yesterday, and we didn't come home late."
Wallace, who's ready, gives me an excuse.
"I heard you were drinking and walking with your bad friends every day? I mean, they're treating you with the money I got you? Me too."
"Isn't that the other way around? Normally, I think it's a good time for you to treat me. Well, yesterday wasn't really a game."
"- Is something wrong?
Wallace, who is usually not serious, goes home in the morning without even playing.
Besides, I'm not feeling very well this morning.
He looks like he's got something on his face.
"Actually, my brother called me."
"Brother? Cedric?"
Cedric is a prince treated like Wallace and many others.
Now I work in the army as Major General.
"No, I'm not. First and second brothers in inheritance. You know what this means?
Wallace is trying to test me.
I can't forgive that.
"Don't try me. Conclude."
"- Okay, I get it. My brothers are looking to take you in. [M] That's why you asked me to mediate with you. I really hate it. When I tried to escape the court dispute, I got caught up as much as I wanted."
Wallace has not wanted to be involved in court disputes for a long time.
The reason for this is that if you make even one mistake in judgment, you have no life.
The number of holders of imperial succession rights who seem to be in the rear palace will be in the thousands if they do poorly.
That's all the successors are fighting, crushing each other and disappearing.
"Brokerage to me? The Third Prince has just spoken."
Sure. - Was it His Highness Cleo?
"That's Cleo asking to see you in person. In this case, you sign up through me to join your brother's faction."
"What?"
I didn't know what that meant.
"So I ask Liam to bow his head and join the faction. I'll need a souvenir and a lot of donations."
I'm starting to get angry.
Keep your voice down, it's like they're telling you to keep your head down.
I'll send bribes, too, and it's nice to be upstairs.
However, the Third Prince, who has still officially asked to see him, can be more fond of this as a response.
"You've got a lot of eyes from the top."
"Naturally. My two brothers are the most powerful candidates for the next emperor."
Even if it's prestigious, it's natural.
"Hmm? Wait a minute - so those two already have quite a bit of power?
One anxiety strikes me.
About the "true enemy" the conductor used to say.
I thought the emperor was suspicious.
He's the most powerful man in this country, so he should be able to manipulate as much as the Berkley family wants.
But I come here and I get more candidates.
"A lot of nobles are moving for their older brothers. You have strong powers in that sense. Some of the other brothers have power, but the two above are different."
"- Right."
When I do, I don't deserve to be the one waving my tail.
Maybe one of them was manipulating the Berkley family behind it.
If I went out with the scarecrow, it would have been used like a good thing.
Or is it not the enemy that the conductor has advised me!
It was dangerous.
"Wallace, then tell those two. - If you refuse."
"Ha ha!? What are you talking about, Liam!? My first and second brothers in inheritance!? If you refuse that invitation, you will surely be the enemy."
"What's wrong with that? They're already my enemies."
There's a good chance he was manipulating the Berkley family from behind.
The emperor, or the princes rubbing in the right of inheritance - but here comes one interested opponent.
"Wallace, if your story is true, it means that the third prince in inheritance has no decent back shield, right?
Wallace told me about the third prince.
He said he was a prince with almost exclusively famous inheritance rights and no various backshields.
I mean, he's a prince with no power whatsoever.
But that's why...
"Cleo doesn't have a decent back shield. That's for sure. Anyway, I've even abandoned my real mother's home."
"How's the crowd?
"Be a person? Ma, well, he's a pretty little brother. No, poor thing, I guess. From what I can tell, you're in a position of sympathy, but I think you're behaving like one."
"It's not bad from you."
"If you're among the top three, Cleo will definitely prevail humanly. Well, I just grew up, so there's something I don't know about the world. I think it's serious and gentle. I don't know what to expect in the future."
"Enough."
- Turns out it's not a threat to me.
It's hard to believe he was manipulating the Berkley family from behind because he's a prince with no strength whatsoever.
That's why it's a cheap card.
Emperor, two princes - assuming there are my true enemies among them, it is dangerous to choose any faction from them.
Besides, I don't feel comfortable being used as a newcomer.
"That's fantastic. I'll see you soon with that prince Cleo. Tell him to get his place ready right away."
Wallace was trembling when she said that over a cup of school-food coffee.
"Huh? Seriously?
"Naturally. I mean it. I mean it - I'll support Prince Cleo."
That's all I have, and it's my men who stand on the arrow and make things worse.
And the two princes, who may be my enemies - I won't let the emperor do anything like this.
Isn't it funny that I should be the back shield of Cleo and prepare an emperor who moves as he pleases?
Bad lord-like behavior.
"You're getting fun."
When I say that, Wallace shakes his head sideways without force.
"You're the only one who's having fun."
Why don't we join him in the court dispute?
You're not gonna beat me.
Freed from financial problems, I'm strong.
About two Imperial princes, nothing like that!
Besides, I have a powerful patron saint.
If I had a guide, I would be invincible!
◇
A planet far from the Imperial Capital Star.
That was the other interstellar nation.
There was a guide from the roof of the building overlooking the big city.
"I've been wrong before"
The conductor, reflecting on the past, turned away from Liam and soaked muddy water but gathered negative emotions on all other planets.
As a result, we get to one conclusion.
"It was a failure to engage Liam. And now Liam is not the one who can handle it on a small scale"
He calmly analyzed Liam's strength and came to the conclusion that it was difficult to process within the Empire.
So you're giving up?
No. No. No.
The conductor spread his hands.
"You just have to crush every empire! The swordsman who kills Liam is raised by Ansher. with it, take the flow so that the empire crumbles"
It was a plan to involve other interstellar states and to massively try to kill Liam.
What do we need for that?
"Let's start by growing the buds of discord that are in this country - go around setting the countries around the Empire on fire, and sooner or later we'll have them on fire and attack the Empire!
Sooner or later the problem was supposed to get bigger, and the conductor was trying to help make it a big problem early.
That's not one country either.
"Involve the Empire and all neighbouring countries! There will surely be havoc around the Empire!
Just to kill Liam, the conductor decided to prepare a grand trick involving other interstellar states as well.
And to Liam himself...
"Liam - I'm not doing anything to you right now. If you move now, it will surely be in your interest. But don't forget - I move for you to be unhappy!
The conductor screams.
"Liam, from this place I can't get your thanks, I'll kill you!
Far away - from a very far away place, the conductor turned to Liam to kill.
◇
"Cleo! Did you hear back from Count Banfield!
Licitea, jumping in where Cleo was in the bath, was holding the script in its hand.
He was in such a hurry that he pushed him to Cleo, who was soaking in water.
Few servants are surprised, but neither can Lissitea speak out for the royal family.
Cleo is frightened to see such a licitaire in a large bath.
Sister, I'm in the hot tub.
"Not if you're calm! Wallace brought me a letter from the Earl of Banfield!
When Cleo stood up, the servants rushed to hide their bodies.
Wipe your body with a towel and bring your gown.
Cleo, approaching Lissitea as he walked, received the writ wet, saying "I don't need it" to such servants.
(Even though it would be a no letter anyway)
Looking at the excited Lissitea, Cleo cuts the seal somewhere cool.
And read the letter you took out.
It's very stylish.
Sometimes it's someone I haven't even met yet, but I don't see people from the content of the letter.
However, the greeting was brief and immediately to the point.
Send a lot of donations right there, it says.
It was a number Cleo had never seen before.
"- That's a lot of money for a deposit."
When Cleo said that in difficulty, Richter was blushing.
"Read to the end! I've already heard the rough stuff from Wallace. Count Banfield says he'll do everything he can to help you."
"Huh?"
I couldn't help but be surprised at Cleo.
At any rate, the Crown Prince, as well as the second prince in the right of inheritance, spoke to Liam.
Two powerful princes spoke to one count who had no connection.
It's a broken treatment.
In exchange for that, I am a decoration with no power whatsoever.
"Or are you going to make it into a puppet?
Licitea smiles at Cleo's worries.
"Are you confused? There's no place for a nobleman who thinks and supports you right now."
"Right. I... I'm not worth it."
Then why did you say that as many nobles as Liam would take sides with you?
Cleo is just confused.
"Anyway! You have a young, powerful nobleman on your side! That's not all. Nobles who have never approached the court before may gather to hear Banfield's name. I can do your faction!
Focusing on the Banfield family, Cleo's faction can do it.
That meant Cleo could have a powerful power.
"- I don't know what you want in return. Maybe he's a dangerous opponent. I'm going to make up my mind after I see you."
Seeing Cleo's attitude like that, Licitea calms down too.
"Oh, yeah. But this gives me a little hope."
One of the servants who was listening to those two conversations had a slightly hasty look, unlike the other happy servants.
