Going to the Empire is a decision, and there's no problem if you don't have to put up a joint front with the Resistance, just crush the study of fake Lionel and demonization.
But assuming we would slay the emperor, it was clear to everyone that if we did not decide on the next emperor as soon as possible, the empire would find itself in an unsavory situation.
Well, if it was meant to be, it's completely irrelevant to me, but Lionel also told me about the Empire's battle with the Demons.
For that reason I have a successor to rule the empire in front of me, and if his personality is fine, I would ask him to continue to fight the Demons.
So I decided to make a suggestion.
"Your Highness Alberto, are you going to set up with the Empire again?
"Why would you do that?
I may have suddenly been wary of trying to get to the bottom of this. But when I pulled here, I felt it was no longer negotiating, and I decided to tell them what I was doing.
"We are ready to attack the Empire."
Then, I feel the air, which was friendly until earlier, turns into something nervous at once.
"Doctor, why are we attacking the Empire? Even for a teacher, the empire should remain a homeland."
His Royal Highness Alberto stuffs to Lionel as he gets a little emotional.
But Lionel, without becoming emotional, stared at me and chose to entrust everything to me.
"My lord Alberto, I'm the one talking. And aren't you getting a little too emotional?
If I tell you so, His Highness Alberto turns to me and asks me again.
"Damn, why are you attacking the Empire?
Because I was embarrassed, or with a little redness in my face, I've mentioned the attack on the Empire.
"If emperors and false warrior generals lay repression, they are still trying to demonize people. That's not something you can overlook as a person. You were both demonized, so you can see that's true."
"... I see. I want to stop it, so when you attack the Empire - honestly, it's not normal to attack the Empire."
As soon as the talk of demonization came out, with a slightly more contemplative look, His Highness Alberto stopped the words when he denied this operation.
It's like we're ready for that operation to succeed. It was such a way of talking that I would deliberately want to hear the other suggestion by hiding such a nuance.
But he took great care not to take his word for it, and I was aware of the intention to do so.
I'm sure the purpose of this is to get into the resistance for a reason when I went to hear the proposal.
Suggesting is a kind of favor.
That's why it's strange when you accept a suggestion, no matter how trivial it is, because I feel like I've made a loan.
Maybe he has that conversation technique because he grew up studying imperialism.
But I've just dealt with Mr Bazak, who is stronger than His Highness Alberto, so I could afford it in my heart. I've noticed that, and I can take his aim off.
"Well, it wouldn't be a normal nerve. But we're going to set up an empire as early as tomorrow. Even if we're going to fight the Demons in the Empire, we have a good chance of winning."
"Oh, tomorrow?
His Royal Highness, temporarily calmed down, tried to make a little extra poker face, but it collapsed all at once and the rushing colors floated.
I guess I didn't imagine just tomorrow.
"Yep. Melfina, who was there earlier, told me that fake Lionel was underground, making it even easier to set goals"
His Royal Highness Alberto and the Virgin Melfina face each other in a hurry.
And if the Virgin of Prophecy could not have predicted this either? Ask Lionel why she is the Virgin of Prophecy later.
"Dear Luciel the Wise, would you please keep bullying Your Highness around? Your Highness, Luciel, the wise man, is younger than His Highness, but in a different number of ways he has survived the training ground than His Highness. This one will crumble before you put it on this mound."
So it was still Mr. Bazak who broke into me and His Highness Alberto.
I really want you to do something about it because I'm tired when I talk to this guy. Still, I had no choice but to talk to him, so I decided to get my mind back together and talk to Mr. Bazak.
"Bullying is another different thing you say. It was decided from the beginning to attack the Empire."
"So who the hell are you going to let govern the empire, assuming they've debated the emperor?
You see. I'm definitely coming through this hole. But it can't be easy to get stuck here.
"My goal is to do demonic and demonization research, and to slap Lionel's phony. If the Emperor does not know about the Demon Clan, then he escapes from the Empire there. Assuming the emperor is letting that happen, I will slash it. When it comes to governance, I hope someone from the Emperor's bloodline will."
"Don't you think Luciel the Wise will rule the Empire?
Now I've asked to peep, but I'm guessing this man has asked this question only to make His Highness ask me if I'm interested in ruling the Empire.
"Why should I rule? Assuming Lionel wants to rule, I will do everything in my power to support him."
"I'm not interested in that, either."
It said on Lionel's face that he absolutely didn't like it.
"And that means you don't mind the empire's politics on your own."
Mr Bazak nods as he hammers again and again.
"So you think the Empire won't retaliate against the St. Shroud's Accord?
And words were thrown at me trying to gauge our power.
"If you think about retaliation, spread the word around the world that the Empire was demonizing people. And if we were to wage war on the republican state of St. Shroud, not on me, consider that the three kingdoms of Ruburg, Dwarf and Yenis would turn to their enemies at the same time."
While I was lost, I showed off one of my strategies if I assumed to fight the Empire.
Then Mr. Bazak smiles nicely at the same time as he finishes listening to me, turning his body to His Highness Alberto, and begins his persuasion.
"Your Highness, if you think about the future of the Empire, now bow your head to Luciel the Wise, and let me help you even if you owe me a great deal"
When His Highness heard about Bazak, he immediately turned this way and bowed his head.
"Luciel the Wise, please help us return the Empire to a country where we can be strong and noble and protect our people"
His Highness Alberto listened to Mr. Bazak and immediately bowed his head.
He seemed more prepared to bow his head over and over for the Empire than to have extra pride.
"Dear Luciel the Wise, General Lionel, thank you very much."
Virgin Melfina likewise called for cooperation.
There was nothing wrong with cooperating here, but there were some things that didn't bother me.
Yes. It's like a race to be made... I'm pretty sure it was Mr. Bazak who set this up.
It just seems like it's rolling in his palm.
"I'd like to ask Mr. Bassack why he's trying to get His Royal Highness to bow his head and cooperate with us."
"Luciel, the wise man, already felt well prepared to interact with the Empire and with the line of purpose. And we're on our way to the capital again and again, but honestly, we're not far from it, and it's all gone, so I figured I'd be the best bet for you."
Even if you make a sensible decision, it's still not normal to let His Highness Alberto bow his head.
"So you're saying this place was also trying me out?
The fact that Lionel was surprised to see Mr. Bazak when he came to this town should not have been a general of the Empire until at least two years ago.
Thinking about it, all this trust seems a little unusual.
"To be honest, that's what I wanted to know why General Warrior, the guardian of the Empire, was willing to follow you."
"What I wanted to know, was I able to know?
"No, by doing this together, we want to know"
It feels like it's drifting somewhere and I just seem to enjoy the conversation.
"I was wondering, why did Mr. Bazak do something like the staff of His Highness Alberto? If you were a general torn into an empire back in the day, wouldn't you be happy with the current state of the empire?
"Have you finally asked me that question? Actually, I owe these two."
"Borrowed?"
"Yeah. I thought my life was exhausted after Lionel slashed me there, but I never died. But when I woke up, my country was already doomed, and I lost my place to return."
It was the end of a likely defeated general.
"It was five years after that battle that I met His Highness and Master Melfina. Although the village I was taking care of was attacked by demons and I managed to respond magically, my magic ran to the bottom and I was in a crisis of absolute desperation"
"Are you saying they saved it?
"Yes, the Imperial Army, under whose command you two are still young, has driven demons to save the village. So I'm not putting my shoulders in the Imperial Army, I'm just paying back what you owe me for saving your lives."
"When I return to the Empire, I want to be Prime Minister."
His Royal Highness Alberto told him to declare so, but Mr Bazak just laughed and had nothing to say about it.
After seeing such an exchange between the two, I decided to tell Lionel what I thought and figure out what he thought.
"Lionel, I'm going to put up a joint front with them, but what does Lionel think"
"I have some thoughts about Bazak, who tried to measure Master Luciel. But if His Highness Alberto were to reign as Emperor, he would still be able to regain the hold of the Empire."
Well, if this makes you corrupt like a church, it will be just as the Duchy Brange thinks, and then there will be a lot of suffering people out there. That's all I want to avoid.
I nodded at Lionel's words and decided to accept their request for cooperation.
"… shall we then combine the information we have here with the information we have there and begin an operational meeting against the Empire"
Thank you. I'll sit down.
To Mr Bazak, who bowed his head deeply, he was going to start an operational meeting, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
