The Depression of the Kingdom

King's College missed the victory in a swordsmanship match against the Empire, using measures that are just described as cowardice.

I didn't miss the victory. The result of the rivalry to show the strength of the kingdom was to create a young hero in the Empire.

Naturally, there is no reason for those involved to remain. That disposition was about to be given now.

The disposition is not of the Kingdom College, but of the Kingdom itself. Two civil servants, Vasily Serov, who were accompanied as teachers by a thousand generals, Egori Mikhailov, in a cold gaze poured from left to right, were waiting for the king to be cut off.

"... how blessed you are to be back in the shame of your kingdom."

"I'm back to get disposed of"

"Can't you make it up yourself? Apparently, Non was buying the Lord away."

"I am prepared to die. But before I do, I just want to say one thing, and it's up to me to hide my shame in front of the king."

"... sounds like an excuse, but okay. Say that word and do it."

to the sincere attitude of Egori, the king was also willing to listen with a little anger

"Ha. Whatever hand you use, I think you should make a student named Kamui Kreutz a deceased. How can I help you?"

"What? Even if you're treated like a hero, aren't you just a student? You're telling me to use the power of the kingdom to kill that student?

"Ha."

"That's all you are, so you're trying to tell me you can't help but lose?

The king's sharp gaze pierces Egori.

"I don't mean to. I understand that my defeat can never be excused."

"Hmm...... Did you find out about that Kamui Kreutz?

There is no way to be frightened of Egoli. The King's gaze turned to a civilian lined up to the right, who decided he was not talking about justifying his failure.

"We've looked into the approximate."

"Report it."

"Yes, Kamui Kreutz is the heir of Viscount Caios Kreutz, lord of the Imperial Northende"

"Hmm. I've heard the first name. You were a brave knight. And Nort Ende? He is also the lord of the abominable."

…………

Civilians hesitate to explain what lies ahead to the king, who simply gives him the name of Nort Ende and gives him a blatantly offensive look.

"What's up? Keep reporting."

"Yes. However, Kamui Kreutz was an adopted son and there is no blood connection with Viscount Kreutz."

"Adopt whoever makes you inherit that northende? No, on the other hand, that's how good it was, isn't it?

"No, Kamui Kreutz can't use magic, so I'm being approached by my parents. The Viscount of Kreutz, who happened to be an orphan, found it and adopted it."

"Is that a fact?

"The inability to use magic seemed famous in the preschool department of Imperial College. Whatever you say, because Kamui Kreutz seemed secretly on the lookout. The same applies to the case of adopted children. The adoption of Kamui Kreutz was a secret topic among some."

"Don't put it on, just say it. What's in Kamui Kreutz?

"... Kamui Kreutz was named Kamui Honfried before he was adopted, no, before he was allotted a home. He is the son of Sophia Honfried."

"What!?

A further colour of anger rose in the face of the king, who heard Sophia's name.

"This is why Kamui Kreutz was secretly featured"

Before the King's wrath explodes, and in a hurry, the civilian spits out the tightening words.

"He said he was the son of Sophia Honfried...... He said it was that woman's son!!

Advice, the king who exploded his anger. He stands up from the throne and stares at the universe.

And the spearhead of that anger turned to a civilian who, unfortunately, reported Kamui's identity.

"Why?! Why don't you know that?!

"Ha! Huh? Um, what's that?

"I'm asking why that woman didn't grasp that she had a baby!

"Or maybe it was hidden"

"Was it hidden?

"No one knows who the father is. Sophia Honfleet was already in a cage when she came home."

"What? But why hide it?

"This, as a guess, seemed to me to be the son of a brave man. Not only was Kamui Kreutz noticed as the son of Sophia Honfried, but it also seemed to have happened. Being the son of a brave man can be difficult, so I thought it might have been hidden."

"... so?

The king's face, which was stained with Zhu in anger, returns to peace at once. He is showing the way he is thinking of something, even as he urges the civilian to continue.

"Yes, sir"

"What about the actual place?

"It seems that Kamui Kreutz's inability to use magic means that it won't be."

"Are you asking me what the facts are?

"Oh, I don't know. If you probably know, I thought it was just Kamui Kreutz."

"... well. Later?"

"Yes. Until the confrontation, Kamui Kreutz seems to have hidden its strength. Seeing the battle against each other, the Empire also seems to have grasped its strength."

"I don't know. Why would you do that? Besides, why was someone unaware of their abilities chosen to represent them in the rivalry?

"We don't know for sure why we were hiding it. The inability to use magic was known, so no one seemed to question it."

"Why was it chosen?

"Apparently they were chosen by a majority of the class, so I thought the students knew. After looking in that direction, there was one event that Kamui Kreutz might have shown strength."

"What's that?

It was an expedition at Imperial College.

"I'm sure you heard that. Auga showed up and about fifty Imperial knights were killed."

"Yes. It's that case. Fifty knights were killed. The Expeditionary Accommodation seemed to include the descendants of the Emperor's leading men, and even the Third Princess, and half of them were stoned to escape."

"Hmm. So"

"That throwaway stone also included half of the students at Royal College. One of them is Kamui Kreutz."

"Wait a minute? So why is he alive?

"He said he escaped just the students"

"... who survived?

"There are ten sacrifices made by students at Imperial College. But those who have lost their lives are the ones who originally distinguished themselves from their actions."

The kingdom has the art of knowing more information so far.

"I don't know. I mean, is that it? You mean you managed to escape while Auga and the Knight of the Empire were fighting?

"It's more than likely."

"Don't wear it!

"Yes. By the time the students escaped, they already seemed surrounded by a thousand demons. It looks like the demons were goblins and high goblins too. Students have reportedly broken through the enclosure, shaking off the demons that follow them and fleeing"

"How many students?

"Approximately a hundred people"

"You've broken through ten times as many demons?

"That's what happens. I'm sure the Imperial Knights have taken on quite a few."

"I guess so. But...... Are Imperial students that strong?

"It's..."

I don't even have this information with a civilian. There were no words to follow.

"Mikhailov!"

Seeing as the civilian was stuck in words, the king quickly changed his place of inquiry.

"Ha. Royal College students are certainly strong. It's strong, but that just saw a representative of the confrontation. I don't know if other students are that strong."

"That too, right..."

"It's just that with a thousand demons, a kingdom knight is only a plain knight, but with a hundred people, whatever it is in the fort, can you escape without missing a single person in the mountains? It is very unlikely that the students of the Imperial College will be superior to the 100 knights of the kingdom."

"Right..."

Egoli's explanation is convincing. Then the information will be incorrect. Yes, the king thought so.

"but"

The story of Egoli was not yet over. Egoli has the most to say.

"Hmm?"

"Of course Kamui Kreutz is. A student named Lutz from the same group also has superior powers over the Kingdom Knights. And I was wondering if a student named Alto might also be quite powerful."

"You think it's not just Kamui Kreutz?

"I don't mean to be an excuse. However, I believe that I was given the status of a thousand generals because I was recognized for my strength."

To deny the word of Egoli would discredit the thousand generals of the kingdom. This is what Egoli wants to say.

"Hmm. Are there two other people in Kamui Kreutz who have the power to jump through"

"Both of them are under Kamui Kreutz's command."

He explained to the king the two qualities in the form of a civilian supplement to the words of Egori.

"What?"

"Please reconsider what you said earlier. Kamui Kreutz is a dangerous being. He would be a great threat to the kingdom in the unlikely event of further growth."

Seeing the king's agitation, Aegori appealed his thoughts on top of each other.

Listen objectively, this Egoli advance is correct. Correct, but the king's answer is.

"... I can't make a decision right away."

"Why is that?

"Find out who Kamui Kreutz's father is before that, and that's whatever hands you use."

"Why do you need to do that?

"It is also possible that the father is not a brave man, but another"

"... no way?

Egori also figured out what the king was thinking.

"As long as that's possible, you can't kill Kamui Kreutz. If the father was my son, he would pull Kamui Kreutz into the kingdom at any cost!

To this word of the king, those around him, roar. I'm not simply happy that the late prince was there.

"That, no, I hope I can do that. But can we find out? Leaving Kamui Kreutz alone, if his father was not His Royal Highness the late Prince, it would be irrevocable."

On behalf of the thoughts around it, it was the Egori of the other person in the dialogue who told the King. As for Egoli, there is a strong desire to keep the king in mind as to what.

"But if so!

"Your Majesty! Think calmly! His Royal Highness Prince King of the Kingdom has already been ordained! Even if Kamui Kreutz is the one who draws the blood of his late Highness, it can just cause confusion!

"But!... No, you're right"

Remembering that the king's prince was right beside him, the king uttered his words along the way.

"I'd rather worry about Egoli. But whoever Kamui Kreutz is, his successor will never change."

The words that followed were to reassure Prince Wang and his subordinates who feared a succession struggle. This, as king, must be clearly declared.

"Ha."

"Kamui. The reason I seek Kreutz is the power it has. If we can draw into the kingdom, the battle against the Empire will be advantageous"

The king who regained his calm, but he didn't give up on Kamui. For the king, Kamui, not the late Crown Prince, is still a big man.

"That's true, though."

"I won't kill you. But I'll take care of it."

"What kind of measure is that?

"I manage to pull Kamui Kreutz away from the Empire. It would be nice if we could pull in here. If you can't, you can kill him then."

"Can you do that?

"I feel like there's a gap. The tip is you were hiding your strength. He doesn't want his place in the Empire. Isn't that what you can think?

The King has been aggressive in his own way until he showed his measures. When this happens, no one can stop you anymore.

"... it's certainly possible. He didn't show the attitude to fight, at least until the finals. I had no choice but to show strength in a rivalry. No, because from the circumstances, you've pissed off your people so badly."

First a civilian has been in tune with the king. Egoli's expression turns into something bitter.

"You seem to see a possibility. All right, thoroughly examine Kamui Kreutz's trends. What is he thinking and trying to do? Perhaps if we assume that a confrontation is an unexpected event for him, we need to know what he thinks before he does."

"Yes."

"And it's Nort Ende. Nort Ende is, for the Empire, also one weakness. If we can poke there, we can fit the Kamui and the Empire well."

"One thing, we have a problem"

"Problem?

"Rather than a problem, we ask you to think about it in terms of tactics."

"What?"

"The important thing about poking at the Nort Ende is the Demons. The best way to incorporate the Demon Clan into your strategy is to"

"Theocracy."

"Yes, I was wondering if it would be effective to use it. After graduating from Imperial College, we have heard that Kamui Kreutz has no plans to attend an advanced school. Then, no doubt, you will return to your territory."

"... I see. It would be good. Improve your relationship with theism. It's not like we really need to have a good relationship. That can handle as much as you want, if you stimulate greed."

"Understood."

"And tell the grass. He told me to keep an eye on Kamui Kreutz. In the first place, the problem is that I didn't know anything about Kamui Kreutz. From now on, don't miss out on anything trivial."

"Yes, I did. I'll skip the transmission immediately."

"Okay. For now, is this what it is? Inform the two of them of the disposition. Inevitably, capital punishment is inevitable, but what you said earlier is brilliant as a minister. Therefore, both of us should be excused from the death penalty and only deprived of their positions. As a knight and a civilian, keep encouraging."

"Ha. Thank you Happiness"

"Yes, I thank His Majesty for his warmth"

Okay, that's it.

"" "Ha!

The literary martial officers who stand on the throne and escort the king out of his seat. Where the king was no longer visible, the air in the field soothed a little. Or so, the eyes that see the Egoli do not change.

With the king gone, even more blatant slanderous words pour down on the two of us.

"Looks like you picked up your life. Lucky for you."

"You say you're lucky? I can't stand imitations that would expose me to shame if I lost to a pre-adult student."

"So is that. I see. Harder punishment than death."

"I am. I don't know what they think."

"But it's troublesome to bring you to trouble after shaming you"

"If His Majesty was right, what would happen?

"Now, succession fights, etc. Isn't that the same as the Empire?

"But is it really possible?

"Even if that's what I ask. Shouldn't we ask those who actually saw it?

"What do you say, Igori?

"What was His Royal Highness the late Prince like? I don't know, so I can't judge."

"Simply put, you're a beautiful blonde."

"It's completely different"

"Sword skill is considerable. Needless to say, this. He even called me" The Sword of the Kingdom. "

"It will be the same there. Perhaps no one can beat him at the moment, either in the Empire or in the Kingdom"

"Dude. How much I lost, that would be too much"

"I lost. I didn't just lose, I lost without my hands or my legs."

"What?"

Only two people on the scene and a few civilians will know the details of the confrontation. The others do not know it and do not correctly grasp the strength of Kamui.

"Didn't you report that far? My sword didn't stand a blade at all. Besides, it's suspicious that they might have done all they could."

"What!?

"He hasn't attacked me until he's got it all out. Besides, while he was attacking himself, he didn't even use his sword. The difference in strength between myself and him is enormous. By the way, in my own discernment, I'm a student named Lutz, and I'm five minutes with myself."

"Are you serious?

"I mean it. That's why I advised you to use ruthless means to kill him, though. Don't lick me if I'm a student. He said this to Lutz, reluctant to abstain. Can you do it for sure? That can do it means can you kill it? He already has the fear to say it."

"But he's alive."

"His hand stopped the moment he thought he was dead. Something must have happened, but I don't know what that is. All I know is that I can't stop a sword swinging so fast that I can't see it."

Normal people cannot even wave their swords at a visible speed. This way of saying it is the will of Egoli.

"... there is such a person in the Empire"

"I can no longer say in front of His Majesty the King, but I still believe that I should choose to leave nothing rather than take a bet to come to the kingdom or not."

"You've brought me some real trouble."

Civilians have complained like other personnel here. Egoli's gaze turns to something tough at once.

"I don't think that's my responsibility. If I hadn't made that report about Kamui Kreutz, I would have died and killed Kamui Kreutz."

"Are you saying it's my fault?

"Isn't it also a subordinate endeavor not to say the opposite is harmful, as the saying is the work of his subordinates?

"Oh, that's..."

The tone is polite, but the gaze directed at the civilian population is even murderous. I can't stand this gaze on a civilian.

Taking his gaze off the wolfish civilian, Egoli turns to the others.

"For what you were not allowed to die, you take responsibility in a different way"

"... what are you going to do?

"Be strong. That's all I have. I don't think I can get past it, but I want to be by the time I manage to stab it wrong. So, now I am. I'm not in a position to be here anymore."

Egoli doesn't really think he can even do that. Egoli felt so different in the battle against Kamui.

Still, as the least I could do was say this.
