Kuro no Senki (LN)
Lesson 19: Declaration Part 6
Chrono-sama, I want to help you!
"Onee-chan, you're cheating!" I'm begging you too! "
Alid and De Neve hid behind Chrono.
She looked over her shoulder and then back at Tilia.
It looked like a demon.
I want you to give me a break.
That's an honest feeling.
The two clung to their backs.
I wonder if you're really frightened.
But I can't keep doing this forever.
Chrono spread his arms.
Calm down!
"Guru, remember that."
Did your wish come true?
Tilia said, shaking her fist.
Repeat deep breaths.
"There were many things, but I officially inherited the throne."
It's like the coronation ceremony is over.
"I just want to get some sleep in my bed."
Alid and DeNeb moved next to Chrono and blurred.
Immediately after that, a grunting sound resounded.
It's the sound of Tyrea clenching her teeth.
That's not all.
It looked like a demon - I was looking at Aridide and Debbie.
I'm pretty angry.
I guess that's what you found out.
Ali Dead and Deneb hid behind Chrono again.
Phew, and Tyria sighed and turned their backs to Chrono and the others.
You're going to sit on the throne.
But I won't step on the throne.
Instead...
Phew, let out a sigh.
The guru was sitting on the throne.
Besides, I put my legs together gracefully.
"Get out of there."
"Why do I have to leave?"
“Because I'm sitting! I'm going to put you in jail!"
"Fufu, do you think I'm scared at the jail?"I'm immortal! Lock me up for ten or twenty years! "
Tilia's voice was rough, but the guru stretched out his chest and said back.
He said he had promised to build a temple, but he must be unwilling to preach.
On the contrary, they sold the rights to the temple they built and turned it into alcohol.
"... Prime Minister Arkol"
Is there something?
I think it would be better if the temple was lent to the guru.
Hmm, well, let's put that in the message.
Prime Minister Alcor nodded to Chrono's words.
Message - I don't think I'm going to build a temple while I'm alive.
Even though he made a mistake in his judgment by blinding himself with his emotions, Rock was a man who had climbed up to the Chancellor.
Quite strong.
"There! Don't say bad things about me!"If you have a complaint, why don't you say it directly! "
……
Ah, you don't have to tell me directly.
When Chrono was silent, the guru pulled back lightly.
I don't know if you're complaining--
"Didn't I tell you not to say it!?"
The priest interrupted Chrono's words.
”Even if you're stuck in a cell, I won't give you any alcohol?”
"---!"
Chrono muttered, and the guru took a breath.
Then I turned my gaze to Tilia.
It was like a flattering eye.
"Hmm, I'm sorry. I'm in shape."I have no place in the soul, and I have a mission to save those who suffer.You can't be in jail for ten or twenty years. "
"All right. All right, get out of there."
Hmmm, we're not going to jail after all, are we?
"I know."
"Really, really--"
"Persistent!"
As Tyrion's voice roughed up, the guru stood up at an unstoppable speed.
Go ahead, and point to the throne with your palm.
"Ali Dead, Deneb, I have to ask you something..."
What is it like?
"I can't seem to answer the hard question."
Is there blood somewhere connected to the priest?
"We're elves, so there's no blood on us."
It seems rude to me, Chrono-sama.
Ali Dead laughed with his nose, and Deneb said as if he was confused.
I thought Nori was similar, but the world wasn't that small.
It's a terrible story to be like Ali Dead and Deb for hundreds of years.
No, surprisingly, these two may be the embodiment of enlightenment.
Chrono checks his back over his shoulder.
Ali Dead looks boring, and Deneb has a dull look on his face.
That's impossible.
I smiled bitterly and turned to the front.
And then...
Chrono-sama, it's like you get hurt when you laugh at your nose.
I want you to explain to me why you laughed.
Ali Dead and Deb grabbed my shoulders.
"Tilia's watching."
─ ─!
Alid and Deb took a breath and stretched their spines.
Honesty is fine.
Looking at the front again, Tyrion sat down on the throne.
All the way to here.
with a muffled expression on his face
Unwillingness on the part of Tyria.
It was terrible that Myra and the guru stood on both sides of the throne.
But there was something in my chest.
Our battles have been rewarded.
I have such an idea.
Of course, this is not the end.
We must rebuild our empire and realize our ideals.
The future is longer.
The back of her nose was sharp, and Chrono held her head down.
Oh no. I'm going to cry.
Well, Tilia coughed.
"There were many things, but thanks to everyone, I was able to inherit the throne safely."Thank you. Originally, I would like to hold a feast, but the Empire is in chaos.First, we have to converge on the chaos. ”
"I'm afraid, Your Majesty..."
What?
Tilia asks, speaking in a low, murderous voice from Count Piske.
"I would like to ask you to relieve the Prime Minister of his duties."
"All right, I'll release the Prime Minister at this time."
“Thank you.”
Speaking of which, you were concurrently director of the Imperial Palace, right?
Yes, Count Piske nods.
Would you mind relieving me of the post of Director of the Imperial Palace?
Thank you very much.
"Well then, I'll relieve Director Miyauchi of his duties."Thank you for your hard work so far. "
"No, I didn't do anything..."
Count Piske shook his head weakly at Tyria's words.
Al Khol!
Haha!
As Tyria raised her voice, Chancellor Alcor stretched her spine.
I'm reassigning you to the post of Chancellor.
Haha!
Chancellor Alcor laid his hand on his chest and hung his head over Tyria.
"It's my first order, but move to end the chaos in the Empire."Suggest any necessary measures to me, and recommend any necessary human resources. ”
"I understand." I'm afraid... "
What's the matter?
"Yes, I would like you to relieve me of the duties of General Secretary Ralph Libra and Director of the Finance Bureau, Director of the Burkmayer Note."
"I know what you're thinking.But what are you going to do with your successor? ”
"With Your Majesty's indulgence, I don't want to call my predecessor back and make him Director."
Um, Teria nodded at the hawk.
This is a pose. The meeting has been completed at yesterday's stage.
However, it seems that it makes sense to deal with Teria, who became the Empress.
“Very well, Ralph Libra, General Secretary and Treasurer, relieves Burkmayer of his duties and acknowledges the return of his predecessor.Well, if only I could get in touch with you..... "
Thank you for your approval.
And Tilia said as she remembered.
“The situation is the situation. I'll leave the personnel of every station, except the Director, to you.There's nothing wrong with that, right? "
Would it be okay if the director recommended it and I approved it?
"I don't care, but be sure to report it."In some cases, they may be dissenting. ”
I understand.
Prime Minister Alcor nodded again with his hand on his chest.
Tyria opens her mouth.
“I'm sorry I just took office, but do you have any suggestions to get this mess going?”
That's right.
Having said that, Chancellor Alcor shut his mouth.
After a while, I opened my mouth.
First, let me inform you that His Majesty has inherited the throne.
Is that including the neighboring countries?
"Of course, thank you." In the name of His Majesty, I will order the Imperial Army sent to the southern frontier to withdraw and request the assistance of the Commercial Union. ”
Hmph, Tyria gave a thoughtful gesture.
This is also a pose.
In other words, it is troublesome if you do not approve it because the coronation ceremony was carried out for this purpose.
You're gonna be okay, right? Tilia and Chrono stare at each other with a frustration.
"Al Khol, I approve of your proposal.It's another matter, but I'm sure that many of you have been unjustly demanded or have been unjustly accused of your crimes during the reign of Alfort.Restore their honor quickly and protect them from the disadvantages they have suffered. "
I understand.
Chancellor Arkol nodded and Chrono breathed out.
Thilia raises her hand.
Then a heavy sound came from behind.
"... from now on, we will examine the acts carried out during the reign of Alfort"
Teria sternly warns that Chancellor Alcor and Johnny will move from the front of the throne.
Chrono Later - Chrono, First Officer, Leila, Ali Dead, Deneb, Sue, Kane, Faye, Robert, Blood, and Bear move to the opposite side.
Footsteps echo between the sights.
Not one or two.
More footsteps.
Looking toward the door, Leonhardt, Roy, and Fana approached.
Behind them, there were about ten nobles - those who held their rightful positions in each station.
Simon and the others surrounded it.
Leonhardt and Roy weren't wearing swords, but they were dressed clean.
The same was true of Farna.
But the nobles were on a rope.
The light and dark are already divided.
You know that, don't you?
The nobles were busy moving their eyes.
Leonhardt and Roy stop next to Count Piske and the other nobles stop moving.
Tyrion murdered Leonhardt and the others.
"Sit down."
She muttered quietly.
The temperature dropped sharply.
It was a frozen voice that gave me such an illusion.
Leonhardt and the others knelt down...
"Princess Tilia! This is a mistake!"
There was only one who disobeyed.
Raise your voice and try to step forward.
Count Burkmayer, don't make a scene.
"Yeah! Don't touch me!"
Simon grabs his shoulder and tries to get him to kneel.
But Count Burkmayer tried to crack it.
Simon gazes.
Then the knight next to him drew his sword.
That said, it was just a sheath.
"This is a crime!" It's all about Alfort! "
Count Burkmayer screams briefly.
I was beaten with a sword handle from behind.
The knight slammed his sword back into his waist and dropped his head on Tilia.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
It doesn't matter.
"Get down on your knees, I'll slay you next time."
Heehee!
When Simon was intimidated, Count Burkmayer knelt with a scream.
Tyria sat back on the throne and turned to Chancellor Alcor.
Well then, let's do a stocktaking.
The nobles were hung up on Chancellor Alcor's words.
Of course. They gave it to Alfort.
If that's all, I was still devouring my own interests.
For them, Chancellor Arkol's words amounted to a death sentence.
Your Majesty, first of all, I would like to ask Farnah, the mother of the former emperor, to give me a ruling.
"What's the charge?"
……
Tyria asks, but Chancellor Arkol cannot answer.
Of course. She didn't do anything.
Tilia sighed smallly.
"This civil unrest ends with Alfort's stupidity.But Alfort bears the blame.You can't be guilty of being Alfort's mother. "
"But," continued Tilia.
"The current empire is in chaos."If you throw yourself out of the castle, you will lose your life or die in the wild.I don't want it.So, protect them in the castle. You don't have any objections, do you? "
I'm sorry.
As Tyria asked, Chancellor Alcor nodded tinyly.
“Next, Leonhard Pallatium, Roy Akvens, Bettyl Piske, and the rest of us, but I'd like to have seven more, Alhena Dios, Ralph Libra, Lucas Lesato, and Rio Ceylon.”
"What's the charge?"
"As you know, the seven people you just mentioned drew their bows at His Majesty."This is never acceptable. ”
Chancellor Alcor said with a strange look.
If it was your usual Tyrion, you'd say, "Don't say it."
But right now, it's not usually the usual time.
Tilia closed her eyes as she thought.
The silence plummets.
It's a silence that stops you from breathing.
Someone snorted, and Tyria opened her eyes.
"Leonhard Pallatium, Roy Akvens, Bettyl Piske, Alhena Dios, Ralph Libra, Lucas Lesato, and Rio Ceylon.Because the emperor at the time was Alfort, and they only obeyed orders as soldiers.You can't be guilty of this. "
"I'm afraid..."
What?
Chancellor Alcor raises his voice and Tyrion turns his gaze.
"Lucas Lesato and Rio Ceylon have both murdered imperial subjects."I wonder if this is a criminal case. "
"Alcor, you're right."Then I will order an investigation. Lucas Lesato, Rio Ceylon, and Ralph Libra, who were the two bosses at the time, will be put on hold until the results are known. ”
I understand.
Chancellor Alcor nodded and Simon and the other Knights of the Twelfth Guard breathed out in relief.
It was a sigh of relief that Count Piske was not guilty.
The nobles screamed a little late.
It must be in anticipation of a generous disposition.
Unfortunately, my thoughts are sweet.
Leonhardt and the others were not guilty because of the disadvantages of being guilty.
If they be guilty, they shall be guilty also of the private soldiers, and thus of their superiors.
There will be a minority of commanders who will spare us their punishment under the circumstances.
If you get punished, you could desert and start a revolt.
When that happens, the Empire will perish.
That's why he couldn't be held guilty.
At that time, Count Piske opened his mouth.
"I'm afraid..."
What?
"I drew a bow at His Majesty.Whatever you say, it's not permissible.Therefore, I would like to resign as the head of the Kingsguard Knights Corps. "
"Likewise"
Leonhardt and Roy followed as Count Piske announced his intention to resign.
I didn't mean to offer to resign.
Unexpected developments.
Tilia sighs smallly.
"No. As I said earlier, the Empire is in chaos."We can't leave the Kingsguard Commander vacant in this situation. "
“Well, I'll let you know when the turmoil subsides.”
"All right."
As for me, I was hoping for a change of heart, but Tilia muttered in a small voice.
Next, I want you to go to Romus Paratium.
……
Prime Minister Alcor looks behind Leonhardt.
Chrono turned her gaze to the irritation.
Duke Romus Paratium - Leonhardt's father was silent.
Silently staring at Tyria.
I hear you called in Alfort, but you're sure?
……
After all, Romus was silent.
"Don't you have a mouth to talk to me?"Too bad. I'm so sorry. You've never been hostile to me.I must see to it that the house of the Duke of Paratyum is destroyed by my generation.I'm sorry to hear that. "
"---!"
Romus was breathless at Tyria's words.
I wonder if the Duke of Paratyum thought he could survive his death.
In other words, the perception of the current situation is too sweet.
The Empire is in chaos.
We need money to make it happen, and we must keep our promise to our foster fathers.
Chrono stared at the nobles.
It would be more efficient to destroy the Duke of Paratyum's house than to confiscate their property and territory.
Then it is decided to crush it.
Besides, we need to make an impression.
"Originally, the Duke of Paratyum was part of the Imperial family."
"Of course, I know. The younger brother of the second emperor is the ancestor of the Duke of Paratyum.But we've lost a lot of edge over the years.Don't you think so? "
"So, you're going to destroy the Duke of Paratyum's house?"
"No, you're going to destroy the House of the Duke of Pallatium because you're hostile to me of your own volition."
Tilia said calmly.
"But I'm not a demon either."I will use the city of Misoros as my territory and admit that Leonhardt will succeed him to the throne. "
"Then it's like crushing."
"That's why I said I'd crush you."
Tilia said disgustingly.
"Leonhardt, what are you talking about!"Don't shut up and say something! "
"Thank you for your mercy."
"What are you talking about!"
Leonhardt hung his head and Romus shouted.
"Shut him up."
Haha!
"Stop it! I'm the Duke!"
Tilia was fed up, and the Kingsguard held down Romus.
A short scream rose, but Leonhardt was flat.
Now, Tilia and I turned our gaze to the Count of Burkmayer.
"There's always a way to find out that you've put yourselves in a position that devours your own interests."
"Your Majesty, we have not done such a thing!"
Count Burkmayer exclaimed, and Tyria clenched her temples to endure the headache.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"That's right! It's evidence!"
"Prove it!"
"Wild! Wild!"
The nobles shouted, but...
"If you want me to give you so much evidence, why don't you give it to me right away?"
……
The nobles were silenced by Tyrion's words.
Count Burkmayer opens his mouth.
"How did you--"
There were some officers who weren't breathing.
Tilia interrupted the words of Count Burkmayer.
I have no objection.
Alfort became the Emperor, and the officers who were breathing Prime Minister Alcor's breath were chased away from office.
Some have been imprisoned for innocent crimes.
However, there were cases where the tasteless position and the Hirakira staff were left untouched.
And they left behind evidence that they were sometimes given unreasonable orders.
"I believe that I should be given the opportunity to pay for my sins.So, if you can adequately compensate us for the damage you've done to our country, we'll allow you to replace it.However, the other hundred years of honorable treatment - I can't be a member of the noble council that will be established..... "
“What if I can't make it up?”
"Forfeit all property, titles, and territories."
Oh, and Count Burkmayer hung his head without strength.
The same was true of the other nobles.
Their spring is over.
It's going to be a long winter.
Poor thing, I sowed it myself.
I want you to harvest it yourself.
As the nobles hang their heads powerlessly, Tyrion turns back to us.
"We will now move on to the Argumentation Award." Acting representative of the Union of Tribes "Bear"
Haha!
Tilia called, and Bear stretched his chest.
"This time, the tribal alliances showed great dedication in the civil strife that began in October 433 of the Imperial Calendar.I therefore undertake to welcome the people of the tribal alliances as subjects of the Empire.This promise will not be broken as long as you pledge your allegiance to the Empire. "
“Thank you.”
Bear said, shaking his voice.
Previously - Tilia said the same thing in a funeral procession after the battle with Lucas.
But the weight of words is quite different.
The Empress of the Empire promised to accept me as her subjects.
It is the wish of the tribal alliances - to move to a land of abundance.
Tilia turns her gaze to Robert.
"Acting Southern Frontier Army Commander Robert"
Haha!
Robert raised his voice when he was called by his name.
"The Southern Frontier Army has just attracted the Imperial Army and played a role in defining the return of the battle to the Imperial Capital."Therefore, according to the agreement we made earlier, we will grant you the territory owned by the Duke of Paratyum. "
“Thank you.”
Tilia nodded in satisfaction as Robert hung his head.
And I turned my gaze to Chrono.
"... Chrono Crawford"
Yes!
When Chrono replied, Tyria gave a bitter smile.
"You have been very devoted since you were deprived of the right to inherit the throne and left to the Marquis of Elakis." I'll thank you again. "
“No, that's not true.”
Tyrion's mouth crumbles.
"Again, my country is in turmoil."But I promise. Together with you, we want to make progress in building a country where everyone has equal value. "
Thank you very much.
A small sound resounded as Chrono hung his head.
I looked at her chest and saw that her necklace was shaking.
