Raydor Holy Sword War Journal
117. Abandonment of the Prime Minister
"Hmm... Your Majesty is in trouble too..."
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rockwood Marcel snapped depressively in the royal office.
In front of Rockwood on the desk are piles of documents. It was mixed with the paperwork that Prime Minister Rockwood was supposed to settle, as well as what the King would have had to deal with.
This scene has continued like every day since King Granard was in his bedroom in the castle.
A neighborhood comes to Rockwood's attention as a result of days of hard work. Recently, he was unable to return to the mansion in the noble city and stayed in the royal palace to finish his work overnight.
I have been sitting in my chair since this morning, and I feel pain from every step of my body. If you stretch your spine, it will ring from your spine to a stinging and ominous sound.
(In this country... Your Majesty Granard may not be able to do it anymore.)
Lockwood breathed a sigh of abandonment into the huge amount of paperwork in front of him.
There are now two factions inside the Royal Palace in the Kingdom of Zain.
On the other hand, there is a faction supporting King Granard. A faction that seeks to maintain power, mainly in Rockwood.
The other is a faction that supports King's brother Raydol. A faction that seeks to overthrow and innovate the current regime, mainly with Justice Abe McBeth.
Until a few weeks ago, the former was the dominant internal struggle in the royal palace, but the situation has already reversed.
Harmonious negotiations brought about by duel from the Imperial side. Those who perceived Grannard's moderate attitude to it as weak are turning to the Raydol faction one after the other.
Faction leader McBeth, and behind him, Namilia and Meltina, were working to crush the Grand Faction without missing the opportunity.
The witch Namilia uses the Shadow Magic to grasp the nobility's weaknesses, and Macbeth and Mertina use it to capture hostile faction humans. The flow had already changed and was fully oriented towards Raydol's side.
No one can stop the flow that has occurred once. Grannard, who was locked in his bedroom, ran away from reality like the power structure he had created was being filled.
In such a good situation, Rockwood, who was alone and resisting the wave of regime change during the turbulence, also felt the ruin of his master.
(I don't think His Majesty Granard is disqualified as king. Even worse than Lord Raydol. But... there is a momentum that can't be helped anymore)
When news of the duel arrived from Fort Brain, Grannard was unable to make a decision and left the matter unattended.
There must have been two emotions in Grannard's heart when he heard the alarm.
In other words, I want Raidor to win the duel and overthrow the Empire. And I want Leidor to die losing the duel.
Conflicting and never mixed feelings robbed Grannard of his sober judgment and left the solution to Raydol.
- And it caused a fatal injury to Grannard.
Raydol survived the duel and drove the Empire back.
This was the worst outcome for Grannard.
It was a pleasure to escape the threat of the Empire, but the credit was not from Granard, the king. It is Raydol's handiwork that came to the duel and negotiated direct concessions with Emperor Zacharius.
Though unconfirmed, Zacharius declares that Raydol will marry her daughter.
Chosen by the Holy Sword.
Win the war.
Save the people as an adventurer.
Build your own army in the East.
In addition, he was recognized by the Emperor and even gained kinship with the Empire.
No one can stop Raidor's momentum anymore.
Even if Raidor were to take the throne with rebellion and strength, many nobles and people would welcome a new king to the throne.
(Not to mention, the King who fled reality and ran into his room no longer seems willing to fight. My heart is completely broken. That's really stuffy....)
Already Rockwood was confident that Raidor would take over in the not too distant future.
When it comes to Rockwood, who is ready to follow Grannard to the cemetery, is it enough to take care not to shed any blood?
"... well, I don't mind. House Marcel is a house of loyalty. I will only die for my loyalty."
Rockwood smiled at his mouth and decided to become a martyr.
You did everything you could.
If anything, I would have liked to meet Mertina Marcel, the daughter who sacrificed her politics at first sight and finally talk to her.
(My daughter won't want to see my face anymore. Fufu... would you like to pray that she will succeed in Marcel's loyalty and serve Lord Reidor with her life at stake?)
That way, the rest won't cloud the flying birds. Let's clean up the rest of the work.
Rockwood tried again to work on the papers on the desk, but stopped to hear voices coming from outside the door.
"Excuse me. Chancellor."
"Hmm? What's wrong?
"Guests are coming."
"Customers...? At a time like this?
It was the knight who was guarding in front of the room who called out.
When I glanced at the clock with a glimpse, it was already almost midnight. Who will visit the Chancellor's office at this hour?
"Who the hell... hmm?
The office door was opened from the outside before Rockwood asked.
It was Rockwood's disrespectful behavior, but he looked at the face of the person who came in and opened his eyes.
"I'm sorry about the night. Dear Prime Minister,"
"This is... my queen."
The man who entered the office was the next most powerful man in the kingdom of Zain.
The Queen Shanoir Zain.
She is the wife of King Granard, and the mother of Prince Strauss.
