In My Previous Life I Was a Saint, but Now I Want to Cut Corners

Episode 71 Leonardo's Request - Previous

Cecil, who was ready for breakfast, took his squire to his brother Leonardo's room.

There are only three rooms on the top floor of the Magic School boys' dormitory.One is a royal guesthouse, and the other two only enter the royal family or equivalent.

Only Leonardo and Cecil currently have a room on the top floor.If Leonardo graduates from school next year, Cecil will be the only one for a while.

Good morning, brother.

The guest room has a kitchen, so it is the brother's custom to have breakfast in Leonardo's room without going to the dining room.

Morning, Cecil.

Leonardo, who was already seated, looked at Cecil's face and raised his mouth in a meaningful way.

"Unfortunately, breakfast bread is just plain bread."

On the table is baked bread by a cook dispatched from the royal palace.

Apparently one of yesterday's events has already reached Leonardo's ears.

Even though it seems like it is in flux, it is only the successor Prince.Perhaps you have all the information inside the campus.

"It's a beginner's bread, so you can't beat a hard-working cook."

"Really?

When the chamberlains lined up the poisoned meals, Leonardo left behind his beloved escort to leave.

I wonder if Cecil has something to tell you in confidence.

"Yes, Lenalia is beautiful, but there are a lot of problems."

Leonardo, who paid the bill, said so bluntly.

Cecil silently returned the feeling that had just sprouted.

The bread in my hand is already cold.It is normal for a meal that has been poisoned many times to be cold by the time Cecil and the others eat it.

The Lenalian handmade bread I ate yesterday was still slightly warm.

Is that why you felt it was so delicious?

Leonardo did not care and behaved violently, still gracefully ripping the bread and putting it into his mouth.

"First of all, there will be opposition from the Queen Dowager."

I'm sure you are.

I know that without being told.

Even if Cecil wanted Lenalia, she would face the fierce opposition of the Queen Dowager, who hated the grandmother of Lenalia, who had once monopolized her husband's love.

Otherwise, the Queen Dowager's wish is to make this kingdom of Eldria a kingdom of Gort, her native kingdom.

The overt invasion is repressed by force and buys the rebellion of the people, but the Queen Dowager's plan to mix the blood of the Golden Kingdom with the royal family one after the other and invade the royal family is progressing steadily in unknown places to the people.

Leonardo also strongly advocates the princess of the Gold Kingdom for his marriage partner, which is usually opposed by his weak father and king, but the pressure on the Empress has intensified since Leonardo is about to graduate.

"What's going on with my brother?

To stop the Queen Dowager from plotting, Leonardo is considering an engagement with the princess of the duke who supports the kingdom.

There are only two Dukes in the kingdom of Eltoria, Beatrice Harden, a daughter of Leonardo's age.

Many nobles set up children to coincide with the birth of Prince Wang, but in higher nobles, more boys were born than girls.

Of course, there were houses that were taken from the branch as adoptive daughters and raised as daughters, but the purpose of thinning the blood of the Gold Kingdom from the blood of the Eldrian royal family was meaningless unless the former was the direct daughter of the Duke, who was separated from the royal family and was often descended by the royal Princess.

Beatrice is two years older than Leonardo, so the Queen Dowager doesn't think Leonardo thinks of her as her fiancée because she doesn't like older wives in the Gold Kingdom.

While the Queen Tai was distracted, Leonardo intended to present Beatrice as his fiancée at the graduation ceremony.

Of course, Cecil is also working with it.Lamberto Parris, who will be Cecil's guardian knight in the future, communicates with Beatrice via Lambert because his mother is from the Duke of Harden and is his cousin.

"Of course, I'm very close to Miss Beatrice."

Beatrice graduated with excellent grades in school and is now educated as a queen in the Territory.

The Queen Dowager's eyes and the opportunity to see her in person were rare, but she nevertheless deepened her exchange of letters.

"But lately, the Queen Queen has come to recommend another woman, not the princess of the Gold Kingdom."

I'm surprised.

The Queen Dowager had invited her to Eldria several times in an attempt to establish an adoption with the princess of the Gold Kingdom.

Neither Leonardo nor Cecil ever welcomed a princess of similar character to the Empress Wang.

But the Queen Dowager insisted on making the princess a princess.I don't think it's easy to give up.

"Anything, Princess Gold woke up to true love."

"True love, huh?

Cecil is surprised to see such a word coming out of that arrogant princess.

"I saw the second son of the Earl's, and if he couldn't marry me, he made a fuss about dying."

"... hah"

"Is it a royal tradition in that country to make my daughter's selfishness come true, or did I have to marry a princess as my next countess?"

"That's...."

They do exactly the same thing as their grandfather did.

At that time, I was forced to push through a low-powered Ertoria opponent, but wouldn't it be possible for the nobles in the country to do the same and show less respect for the royal family?

"That gave me a good token."
