I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!
Master Liam's plan
"You're tougher than I thought."
After my interview with His Royal Highness Cleo and your merchants, I was thinking a little in the hotel room.
His Highness Cleo, who thought he was just an adult bonbong, but showed this one a shattered attitude and he didn't move.
I didn't move one eyebrow and accepted it.
It would be unfortunate if you were a little irritated and reminded me of the difference in strength.
Still, you were a neutral aesthetic because you were originally a woman.
Still, the skeleton is a man, but I feel a woman somewhere.
Wouldn't sexual conversion be perfect either?
Where one is thinking, open the door and Rosetta comes.
"Darling, I heard His Highness Linus is putting pressure on the Banfield family! Is that true!?"
Look at the rushing Rosetta, I'm depressed.
I can't stand to see a woman in steel fall to the ground and become a deluder to me.
I'm embarrassed to see it.
- Nothing wrong with that.
"It's a big problem! We can't trade Rare Metal, which supports the Banfield family's finances!
Rosetta waving and awaking is fun for watching.
Let's make fun of him.
"Right. I live in poverty with rare metal that I can't sell anywhere. In the meantime, I guess I'm going to get stuck in my weakness and get bought cheap. You want to dump me and run?
I'll give it a try, and Rosetta will look me in the face seriously.
"- Even if Darling gets poorer, I'll follow. Even if Darling can't make money, I'll try to feed him!
- I don't expect such a return.
It is truly a shame Choroin.
"It's a lie. In the first place, I don't have a problem with my business partners. If you want, you can sell it to a foreign country."
"A foreign country - that's not a crime when you're bad at it."
"It's His Highness Linus who's been selling fights. Let the drop come on. Plus, there's no problem with Rare Metal not being able to trade."
Well, I have a trump card alchemy box.
Rare metal with this guy - there's nothing wrong with him if he mass-produces and sells anything but metal that the Empire has export regulations on.
If you even regulate that, there are more other means.
Or, of course, the amount of rare metal transactions is just too large to stand out, and other businesses make a lot of money.
Even if you skip the rare metal, you're making money on the Count's scale.
The spread of risk is fundamental.
"It's just not a bad idea to tie hands with a foreign country on this."
Look at me with a smile on my face, Rosetta coming down next to me.
"With a foreign country? Could that mean making your own pipes?
"I take sides with those who have a interest in me. Doesn't matter if that's the enemy."
Rosetta is out of line when she hears what I mean.
Was it a little tough on you, seriously?
Well, you seem surprised to this extent, the wives of evil lords will not serve.
Wait, I think this guy's mistaken for me, and now that it's time, shouldn't he be more appealing to me that I'm a bad guy?
"Remember, Rosetta. True villains join hands with their enemies to kill their allies."
Rosetta was surprised to hear my words.
It has nothing to do with trying to be to the detriment of the Empire.
I will only pursue my happiness!
◇
Rosetta whines as she walks down the hallway of the hotel and returns to her room.
"True villain - who the hell is this about?
Linking Liam to a true villain was difficult for Rosetta.
Anyway, because Liam is a good man from Rosetta.
I'm sure you're outraged at that true villain, think.
Given Liam's previous behavior, extreme movements are not uncommon so far.
However, he supports the prince furthest from the emperor's chair by paying off the hands offered by Calvin and Linus.
What's the point of this?
Liam's strength today cannot be ignored by the Empire.
If that Liam is on his side, he can even see winning against Linus, who is losing in a successor fight.
It should also be possible to sell favors to Linus and make further leaps for the Banfield family.
And that also applies to Calvin.
Make it not as good as Linus, he'll be sure to lead a lot in inheritance disputes.
"Darling is a leading nobleman, so the two people who want to take it in should be treated well. Turn it down and tell the Third Prince - when he does."
Rosetta reads deeply that there is something in Liam's behavior that doesn't matter.
"Prince Calvin and Prince Linus are in contact with the enemy?
Isn't Liam, who is actively seeking to connect with foreign countries independently, having information she doesn't know herself?
Don't you teach that because it's dangerous if you know it?
Rosetta's spine got cold.
"- Could it be the darkness of the empire?
I've never known myself before, but the empire seems very dark.
When I think Liam is alive in that, Rosetta honestly strikes me as amazing.
It felt like Liam was fighting alone as the prince of his country insisted on communicating with his enemies and trying to be to the detriment of the Empire.
Marie comes under Rosetta with a blue face.
"Were you here, Master Rosetta"
"Marie? You were back."
"Actually, I took orders from Master Liam. I'm just leaving the empire for a little while. Before that, I thought I'd say hello. - What's troubling you?
"- Marie, where are you going to leave the Empire?
Foreign - At Liam's behest, he will be sent to another country.
Rosetta asked Marie for more information.
Marie is a little confused, but tells her she could talk.
"It's Lustwar. Dive into an interstellar nation called integration, dressed as mercenaries as escorts to the merchants."
Marie was chosen as Patrice's escort.
"An integrated government? - Have you heard anything from Darling?
"We have not heard directly, but Master Liam intends to create his own connexion with the integrated government. I'm going to make contact with the dignitaries, too. Somehow, we seem to be busy rubbing the inner circle, so we're also investigating it."
(I knew it!)
Rosetta felt something connected inside her.
"Dear Rosetta, what has happened to you?
Marie also spoke so far because Rosetta is Liam's wife and an important figure in the Banfield family.
Liam hasn't told me it's top secret, so I'm talking about the details.
"Then I'll have a budget too, so will you gather as much information on the integrated government as you can? I want you to find out if the Empire is involved in the cause of the inner circle rub."
Marie narrows her eyes.
- I understand.
Marie also felt something was going on behind her back and listened to Rosetta's request.

"Former Secret Service staff idiot. Ooh!
It's Cedric, Wallace's brother, who curses me over correspondence.
It is His Majesty the Major General who is royal but lives as a soldier and now leads thousands of ships.
I'm spoiling and accepting such a curse because my surroundings recognize this guy as my faction.
"Sorry about that. But don't worry. I'm sending you a state-of-the-art ship.
"Can you feel safe to that extent! I decided to live on my own, and I wasn't going to get involved in the court's drooling feud!
"Well, calm down. I'll take care of the money."
The reason Cedric complains to me is because he's been assigned to the regular fleet and suddenly he's been treated cold.
Funds to operate the fleet had also been reduced, visibly and coldly treated.
"And what's Cleo! You won't win! If you're just going to help, you're going to let them get away with it in confidence and everything!
"That doesn't make sense. I've decided to make him emperor."
It's in my interest.
And then the emperors and the other princes are likely enemies, and Linus is already enemies.
"Cedric, there's no more escape. Adults, follow me and master the fleet. 'Cause I'm gonna spin you a luxurious budget and the most sophisticated weapon."
- If we get that far, I can carry my men in. But I can only move about a thousand ships. I don't think I can help you. "
"No problem. I'll give you a promotion soon."
"Stop it! I have a temptation. I normally want to be promoted to merit!
You seem motivated. Above all.
"Then rejoice. I'll make it work."
'Huh?'
There is no point in a weapon not to be used.
If Cedric is being treated cold in the regular fleet, we'll pull him out and place him where he can work.
"Actually, Cleo - to His Highness, the petition came. There are many requests for pirate extermination, but even my fleet is out of hand. I'll get you to work, too."
"Huh!?"
"Put what you want on the list. Then I'll get you an extra thousand ships. There's a lot of people out there eating cold food for the army! When I spoke, they came together."
There are as many gaps in the empire as there are!
In the first place, interstellar states and other gaps are everywhere.
It is too large to manage the whole thing, etc.
I learned how to do it in the previous patrol fleet.
I'll gather the people with a cold meal and I'll make the most of it.
"Then I'm talking about you to the commanders of the Stars Army I know. If you want supplies, rely on your commanders."
Not an annual bribe - the gift of greeting is very important.
He took it on with pleasure.
"Hey."
I'm happy to think of my next hand.
"Well, what bad things shall we do next!
Bad lords are fun!
◇
Banfield family territory.
Shivering Brian was reading the report with Celina, the head samurai.
"Or that it's not just all about development, it's all about mobilizing up to the military?
Currently, the Banfield family is very busy developing their newly acquired planet.
The colonization has also begun, and huge budgets and manpower resources have been thrown over there.
In the meantime, orders had been given to almost all of the military as well.
Regrouped, with the exception of the fleet in training, 30,000 fleets are moving around.
The remaining fleets are also indispensable for defense, distributed throughout the territory.
Selina was surprised, too.
"You're in like a no-guard beating each other up. If one gear goes crazy, it could collapse from there."
If there is a failure in even one thing, it will stumble big there.
If we did poorly, the Banfield family was in danger of crumbling.
"Dear Liam! Why don't you talk to me!
When Brian was crying, Celina was amused.
"We can't stop you from talking to me. That's a big fight, though. If we succeed, His Highness Cleo's emperor will emerge as a possibility."
The possibility of being zero until now is something that could be a few percent.
I feel that Liam is seriously trying to make Cleo emperor, Celina, but that has nothing to do with Brian.
"How is it always extreme! And yet, you're still Master Liam. Even in this emergency, the inhabitants are not very burdened"
It is also possible to summon the inhabitants, but Liam did not do it.
Brian feels it's kindness.
Selina shakes her head to the side.
"Sweet, but I don't hate you. Still, look at the peripheral countries - is there something? Brian, have you heard anything?
"You haven't heard anything about this Brian. Well, if you don't trade in rare metal, it's not a crime, so it's not a problem."
"- Right, right. If you don't really handle rare metal,"
Selina seemed to care a lot.
Brian answers with a laugh.
"I looked at the list of items that I handled, but they were all fine. Selina cares too much."
"I hope so."
