Princes Battle to Concede the Throne

It's important you don't have to think about it.

There was no winning shot in the first place.

I am too full of human charm compared to my brothers and sisters who don't have one of my advantages. It was only natural that he would gain overwhelming support at the time he showed up in front of the crowd where he had made any small workmanship.

If we were to cut through that speech peacefully and safely, we had to strike enough hands to set fire to the royal palace and push the Martial Arts Festival itself to a halt.

Now that I had dawned one night from the Martial Arts Festival, I was lying on the straw floor with my defeat beaten.

"So, you. Did you have a solid reflection?

"Oh, I reflected no more. The reason for this defeat is my failure to underestimate my charm. Consider more carefully next time."

"No, I don't care about that. I'm asking you if you made a reflection on the use of my name on your own."

When I open my eyes and get my upper body up from the futon, I see Moon Heavenly Maru standing in the earth beside me. The visit was perceived by the signs and footsteps, but it was unexpected that he also looked grumpy.

"Wait, Lunar Heavenly Maru. Sure, I was bad about the fake moon Heavenly Maru thing, but after that you would have been well retaliated against. Instead, the pain is as big as mine. Shouldn't we consider this a pain division and forgive each other?

"You can reopen that much often. Go around and admire them."

The moon heavenly circle, exhaled for a long time, sat idly on the earthly floor as it persisted.

"Fair enough. It's creepy even if they take a very strange attitude. Let's try to hit him with that one. There are more important stories than that."

"Important story?

"Oh, about your attempted assassination."

Moon Tianmaru said in very serious condition. But I can't remember instantly, scratching my head and tracing my memories.

"Attempted assassination...? Did that happen...?

"There would have been. Was that fake moon Heavenly Maru the assassin after you?

"Ah. Speaking of which, yeah"

After not falling into any predicament at all, at that time I was obsessed with the leg pull of the speech, so I didn't feel a hint of a case.

But it was. When I thought calmly, it was important.

"Right... because the assassin with the murder weapon approached directly next to the prince in his speech. Maybe it was quite a big problem..."

"Remember, you're the only one who led us to that position."

But it didn't turn out to be a big disaster. Neither me nor my brothers and sisters are so jerked off that much by assassins.

"Well, don't worry so much. It's a festival that's originally held with concerns that people are breaking into. It is only by jumping at it that the royal family has the protection of the martial arts - Utter. Anyway, I think my dad's repelled dozens of them by now."

This country is never singing the world of the Pacific. There are often clashes with the surrounding interracial groups at the borders, and disturbing molecules, including salt thieves, may be moving in the provinces.

It is only with the overwhelming courage of the present emperor that we are united as a mighty nation in such circumstances.

Conversely, it also means that it is possible to significantly weaken the country as long as the emperor disappears. Therefore, it can be taken for granted that the thieves will release their assassins. No wonder our brothers, the successor candidates, are targeted.

"Besides, the festival's over, so I don't have a chance to go out in public for a while. That's rare. Rare."

That's what I tell him. Me trying to get into bed again.

But the words released there by Moon Tianmaru were a fluke to my intentions.

"I don't think that's the case if you're swallowing it. Actually, I went after that assassin and asked him for more information, and he said, 'My client could be someone inside the court.'"

"What?"

I paid for the futon and turned back to Moon Heavenly Maru. Moon Tianmaru, who corresponds to this gaze, has eyes full of a sense of righteousness like a fornicator.

"He didn't speak directly to his client, but he said there were some elements that could be judged that way. He said whoever had requested the assassination was hiding his face and pretending to be a gorotzki - but that the behavior was clearly that of a regular soldier."

"Oh, that's a habit."

The incoming soldiers are taught thoroughly from walking to breathing as the basis of martial arts. If you are a good observer, you can identify whether the subject is a soldier or not by finding such shards of training from your daily routine.

"Even for that soldier, he said there was a strong atmosphere of 'coming as someone's messenger'. Perhaps some of those who are in a position to lead the soldiers are trying to destroy the royal family and seize power."

With that said, Moon Heavenly Maru points his fingers numbingly as if to preach.

"I mean, the enemy isn't always out there. If you want to guide yourself, you don't just act like an idiot, but try to live a little more consciously as a prince."

"Why didn't you tell me that important story sooner!?

I screamed. As I jumped off the bunk, Moon Heavenly Maru lagged behind in a agile motion.

"Yes, don't suddenly shout and surprise me. But you seem a little surprised, too. Think of this as a good medicine."

"Oh, I'm really surprised. I can't believe there were so many understanders in the palace..."

"... what?

I snort on my cheeks unexpectedly, yeah, many times.

"Understander? What are you talking about?

"Well, I'm talking about that client. I mean, you don't want us to be emperors, do you? Or is he thinking he could be the next emperor himself? Isn't he quite a spineless guy? I thought the palace was full of enemies, but I can't believe there was a hidden comrade close by... touching."

"Are you insane? The client of the assassination would be the enemy. What's hiding, comrade?"

With a gentle grin, I stand in front of the Moon Heavenly Maru and lay my hands on both of its shoulders.

"Look, Lunar Heavenly Maru. The client and we are simply eating a little differently in terms of how we do things. It is perfectly consistent for the purpose of 'opposition to inheritance'. If we discuss this often and discuss ways to avoid inheritance, we should be able to become like-minded people."

"Wake up. He's the one you've been trying to kill, isn't he?

"There were just a few sad mistakes. There is still a path to reconciliation."

"Why are you only wasting your time talking about vessels like this?"

I can't help it because the vessel is actually big.

In order to shrewdly hide the size of that vessel and avoid inheritance, there is no hand that does not side such a valuable understander.

"It was the best information. Thank you Moon Heavenly Maru. I thought I couldn't do it anymore on one of the Wushu Festivals, but now I see another light of hope......!

It was me who made my eyes shine with intent, but somehow Moon Tianmaru got a tired look.
