Master’s Smile

"Then, stupid..."

The prince, one of the most important figures in the kingdom, held his head in a private room.

Being first in the right to inherit the throne, he will be able to do almost everything he wants if he is within the kingdom.

There was only one cause that bothered him so far.

"'Iron Queen (Einieken)' is devastated... so...?

What is stunning the prince was the report of the destruction of the dark guild "Iron Queen (Einieken)," which he had kept as his child.

It was one of the few dark guilds and the most feared and worst dark guild in the kingdom.

There is no doubt that once this fact is known to the people, it will be disputed, but naturally only a very small number of sides with the prince know about this.

At the earliest, the princess, who was hostile to both fame and her sister, seemed to feel something, but she would still not have worked with the Iron Queen (Einieken).

The worry is that the prince no longer has to.

The Iron Queen was destroyed without a trace.

"I can't believe they're losing... Yes, no, you mean so many of the 'Army of Salvation (Yerkutilla)' guys have all the monsters...!

The prince repents with his teeth out.

The reason for the destruction of the Iron Queen (Aineeken) lies in the request made by the Prince.

It was also a request for the crusade of the Army of the Saviors (Yerkchillah), which was also a dark guild and feared more by the nation and the upper ranks of the guild than by the Iron Queen (Einieken).

Nothing, the Prince was harmed by the Army of Salvation (Yerkthillah).

The princess, her greatest enemy, was just as worried about joining hands with the Dark Alliance as she was.

Of those dark guilds, only two were supposedly operating in the kingdom: the Army of Salvation (Yerkchira) and the Iron Queen (Einieken).

Since the latter was already in the hands of the prince, it was the 'army of salvation (Yerkchira)' that should be of concern.

So I put out a crusade request to keep the sprouts of danger picked, but the results return beautifully.

The prince lost his brilliant hand and even had the possibility of being hostile to the Army of Salvation (Yerkthilla).

"You Rousseld guy. Lose out unnecessarily while cutting so much money......!

I remember that uncomfortable laugh about Rousseld, the prince trembling in anger.

He was a man who didn't care, and I never trusted him humanly at all, but I put a lot of credit in terms of his combat skills.

That was why it was painful for Rousseld, who had lost such immense military power.

Of course, he, the prince, has the clue there.

In it, even the knights of that kingdom are capable of considerable strength.

But they are also kingdom knights.

He is a princess who is rougher than a princely knight and closer to an adventurer, but he cannot give openly dirty orders.

At that time, the hassle of being entrusted with the backward task of the Dark Alliance was treasured......

"Damn! Dark work, who the hell should I leave it to!

If it is the order of the prince, a knight in the kingdom of his faction would obey.

But don't just obey. You have to have the ability to execute.

As for there, I can't trust you very much.

Previously, he also sent a Kingdom-Knight when he instigated Longman, one of the brave parties, to attack the Army of Salvation (Yerkchilla).

It was brilliantly wiped out. You don't have enough strength.

In that regard, The Iron Queen was an ideal pawn...

"Phew...... Calm down. Now, we have to make sure he doesn't mess with me that I had a connection to the Dark Alliance..."

The prince shrugs so and begins to think if there is any inconvenient evidence left.

Nevertheless, it can be said that there is little physical evidence.

Even when bringing in the Iron Queen (Aineeken), she didn't have a paperwork contract and it was verbal.

When it comes to betrayal and other things you didn't consider, you don't.

The prince has the strength to keep, and the prince himself is powerful enough to enter and leave the Adventurer Guild frequently.

A full collision with Rousseld won't spare you defeat, but it's possible if you're about to buy time.

In the meantime, all you have to do is summon the strength to keep it.

Interpretation, there was no trust whatsoever between the Prince and the Rousselds.

We were just using each other for each other's benefit.

"Then the next thing you know, it's human evidence..."

The prince thought so and decided to call a maid to summon a certain man.

After a while I waited, I heard a knock on the door.

"Get in."

When the prince urged him to do so, the door opened and a man entered.

His back length was much higher than that of a prince, and his stern face reminded him of a fierce warrior.

I wear thick armor, but make it easy to predict that beneath it is a forged flesh.

There was a crimson cloak flickering that only those recognized by the king were allowed to wear.

What can I do for you, Prince?

"Hmm! If I don't need you, I can't call you!

To the knight kneeling and hitting the question, the prince grins with his nose uncomfortably.

When he doesn't like being in the same space, the prince immediately begins to talk about the matter.

"You know I had the Iron Queen guys, right?

"Ha..."

"They were wiped out by the Army of Salvation."

…………

Hearing the prince's words, the knight showed no reaction.

No, I can't see it from the prince, but the brow, part of his face that was looking down, was moving pickly.

"... you want me to crusade the Army of Salvation (Yerkthilla)?

"Stupid!

In the words of the knight, now is the time to make a clear mockery of the prince.

"Perhaps Rousseld hasn't told The Army of Salvation (Yerkchillah) that it was by my command. It was Rousseld who wanted to fight them in the first place."

The Prince remembers Rousseld, who was trying to get the 'Army of Salvation (Yerkchilla)' crusade request out for some reason.

"Besides, the crushing between the dark guilds is expected to have caused considerable damage to the winners as well. It won't have to be for me to take action, it will be weakening"

The prince's anticipation was just plausible.

Unfortunately, it's a mistake.

"I ask you to help me firmly in the battle for succession to the throne, which will intensify more than this"

"... above my knowledge."

To the prince's words, the knight replies with his face facing down.

The prince nodded contentedly when he saw it.

"Great. Now, quick orders. Investigate and report to me anyone who knows or feels that I was connected to the Dark Alliance. And whoever decides I don't need... - Dispose of it."

"... Ha"

Hearing the prince's orders, the knight rises.

He thanked me in front of the door and left the room.

The prince, who dropped it off, sneers.

"It's just not going to work these days, but if I had that guy, I wouldn't be able to lose. I'm the next king."
