Sensei Romanov wants to talk to His Majesty, so he talks at a salon in the castle.

The second prince and Lady Zofie were taken care of by Viktor and Lara, so I came to Lex Somnium's room between the first prince and the top lord.

It's fun to have all kinds of magic tools, and there's a wonderful and comfortable reception set between the Lords.

Moreover, the barrier stretched in this room was "seven days" before even Great Sage Felix could break it. It's safer than here, and there's no place for me to talk.

For that reason, I would like His Highness to sit on a good sofa.

I also sat on the diagonal sofa opposite His Highness, asking her to prepare tea.

Now, let's talk.

After a long silence, His Highness broke the fire.

This time, the opera troupe's performance was great, but the martial arts club was also a great victory.

Thank you very much.

Nervous face.

It would be the right attitude of the superior to properly acknowledge the opponent's achievements.

But that martial arts club, that's not the end of it. Should I cut it out of me...?

When I was lost, my Highness had a hard time.

"... well, this is not about the First Prince, but about the ruler, can you hear me?"

Yes.

"Yeah... my father asked me last night.” Do you know what it means that Uncle Kikunoi is calling the dragon? ””

I don't say anything.

Awaiting the words of His Highness, the rabbit arranges the tea preparation on the table.

Rottenmeyer let me have a special blend of tea leaves, but this one has a good reputation for teachers.

When I enjoyed the fragrant smell, His Highness shuddered.

"I think it is an appeal not only to win, but also to 'the gods have acknowledged the correctness of Uncle Kikunoi' inside and outside." Isn't that right? "

"No, you're right."

"But my father said that wasn't all. Together with the proof of the correctness of Uncle Kikunoi, it is also a demonstration that there is a God blessing in the empire to other countries. That's not all. If I were to avenge the Empire, I would have summoned the Divine Dragon and revived the flying weapons of an ancient great sorcerer, perhaps turning the greatest sorcerer of our time against my enemies."

“I know some of you will, and I thought you would.”

I see.

I could have won without doing such a flashy thing if I had only won.

However, in order to separate the Fire God Order and Ishtu-sama, the reasonableness of the incident so far was a little weak. That's why I wanted to come to the Dragon of the Moon.

The fact that the Dragon, the servant of God, responded to my wishes gives me more trust than anyone knows in my words. At least the humans who saw that dragon respond to my words don't doubt my rightness, and they won't doubt it.

Meanwhile, there will be turbulence because the Empire has shown me that it has such great power, both inside and outside.

Some will argue that I am armed because I have a defiance for the Empire. The outside world must have used me to create a sense of danger that the Empire might use force around us.

Still, I had to do this this time.

Otherwise, we won't be able to compete against the Adventurer's Guild that exists in the world.

The Adventurer's Guild is the fortress of the weak and the watchdog of power. I don't think that there is an opportunity to greatly correct that corruption.

More than the prestige of the country, the actual order was this way.

Whether the master of the adventurer's guild of Shehrazado is old or the master of other places is hot, if you turn the world into an enemy, you won't be safe. In this case, the world is an equal people and an adventurer, and the country is driven by the people.

I will not allow Ayaya to do so. At a minimum, auditing is mandatory in the Empire, the Kingdom of Roumany, the Papal State of Roulan, Kosala, and Shehrazade.

To do that, they had to show a greater power than they could ever defy.

"I see, there was a bigger reason than I could understand."

"Yes, the original issue was the corruption of the Adventurer's Guild." If we do not correct the root cause, problems will continue to occur in the future, such as this one, which sometimes occurs in small alleys. If you bring it into the audit, it may not be gone. ”

What I was thinking was a gesture of thanks to His Highness the Ruler for opening the chest collar and revealing the inside of his chest when he came here with some cruelty.

He listens to me sincerely. Then he opened his mouth, probably thinking about it too.

"The lower crowd of the Order of the Fire Gods shouted," I am not worshipping evil sects, but I am offering everything to the Fire Gods. "But the Empire, the Papal State of Ryoran, the Caesaras, and Shehrazado have decided not to heed that appeal. according to the will of heaven."

"That's... a helpless story."

"Oh, the Lord said, 'The Innovationists of the Fire God Order are evil cult worshippers whose faith in the Fire God is a cover-up.'" There is no doubt that the Divine Dragon responded to the call. "

“Yeah, I'm not lying. I said that because I felt that way. That's all.”

"...... Can you bear this preparedness?" I was also asked. "

……

I blinded myself to His Highness's words.

Silence passes between me and His Highness.

Rottenmeyer's tea is aromatic and delicious even when cold.

His Highness and I both soothed our throats and exhaled.

As I take a deep breath, I close my gaze with His Highness.

"Your Highness, I will dress in your color at this tea party." And naturally kneel to His Highness. I called the dragon. I kneel to His Highness. Are you prepared to receive it? "

……

His Highness opens his eyes wide to my question.

Having successfully summoned the Dragon of the Moon, I knelt before your Highness and pledged allegiance.

Dressed in the same colors as His Highness's eyes and kneeling to His Highness, I am still the First Prince, and I clearly indicated that "only the current Emperor and the First Prince will satisfy me".

With the people and public opinion behind them, I will become the first prince, so those who didn't make the flag clear will change.

On top of that, if His Highness the Second Prince clearly stood up for His Highness the Ruler, there would be no more controversy. Those who burn are openly condemned.

But is that what His Royal Highness the Ruler wants?

It is only the beginning of a tragedy for a person who does not want to sit or is not prepared to sit on the seat of the highest respect.

I stared at His Highness as I challenged him.

His Highness then suddenly dropped his eyebrows into eight characters and laughed as if he was in trouble.

"To tell the truth, I'm not sure."

……

"Am I okay or are you okay?" There are a lot of things I think about. Sir said, "Is there any other way that Uncle Kikunoi wouldn't have to wear it? 'or' Is there anything I can do?"...... Well, I know it might be annoying for you to go around like this. "

He smiles even smaller, and His Highness scratches his cheeks.

I was talking about this man's readiness, and this man is worried about me sometime.

What if it isn't?

His Highness took a deep breath to see if that was what he was saying on his face.

"No, it's not. That means I'm going to be emperor. I'm not honest enough to be a good emperor. The first time I wanted to protect someone was when I first saw the baby Zion, then Zofie, who was introduced to me as his fiancé. If you want to keep them laughing, it's not enough to protect them. If the two important people don't smile, they can't smile, right? Then they could not smile if they did not observe the people around them and the people whom they regarded as important. More and more things have to be protected."

"... I see."

"Yes," Zion remembered, saying, "I like my brother." I want a world where everyone can protect what they want to protect, where they care about what they want to care about, and where they can take that for granted. I want the power to do that. "

Give it to me.

His Highness's lips moved like that.
