Raydor Holy Sword War Journal

153. Regent Leidor

Half a month after Reidor became a Regent and the death of Prime Minister Rockwood Marcel was announced.

To the royal palace where the scars of the previous battle had been repaired, the nobles, who were the lords of the kingdom of Zain, were gathered.

This is the first time that a large gathering has been held since the present King, Granard, hid in the name of disease and Raidor stood at the center of national politics.

There was more anxiety than expected in the faces of the nobles lined up in front of the throne.

"What will happen to this country when His Majesty the King falls ill and, besides, Sir Marcel dies..."

"Lord Raydol is the chosen hero of the Holy Sword... but can we rebuild the country for those who have spent time on the border?"

"Rather, who will succeed Sir Marcel?Could it have been gathered together to discuss it? "

During the Throne, Raydol still doesn't show up.

To the good of the master's blindness, the nobles were talking to themselves.

"Hmm, it is lamentable that Sir Marcel was unhappy.But... that's why we have to unite. "

"You... Lord Rhodes!"

It was a man of great age with a full body who excelled at the anxiety of the aristocrats.

Wearing the most luxurious outfits of the aristocrats lined up, she puts on her head carefully curled scissors.

The man's name is Marquis Crowley Rhodes.

It is a great aristocracy with territory in the northern part of the Kingdom of Zain - the coastal region facing the North Sea.

The Marquis of Rhodes, who owns the port town, controls Radochorn, the Kingdom's largest trading port.

Trade with the western kingdom of Athens and the northern god empire has built enormous wealth, and its financial power, even if royal, could not be ignored.

"Rockwood Marcel was definitely a great prime minister.We must support His Highness Reidor in his reign for the sacrifice of his country's survival! "

…………

The nobility around him bitterly clouds his expression, according to Rhodes, who is good at it.

The front was Rhodes, who behaved like he was mourning Rockwood's death, but everyone here knew it was just a form.

Rhodes used to plot an assassination to snatch a prime minister from Rockwood.

It is a blatant secret that Rhodes, who failed to assassinate him, was being pursued for his position in court, even though he was never captured for lack of evidence.

Rockwood's mourning for his death has no sadness in her face.

The opportunity I was waiting for had finally come around, and I had a smile on my face.

"I wonder... who will succeed the Prime Minister.I don't know how many nobles in this country have the power and the insight to do it. "

Rhodes laughs with joy.

Perhaps this man has no doubt that he will succeed the prime minister.

In fact, among the nobles gathered here, Rhodes was the most powerful.

I have serious doubts about how much personality I have to hold a responsible position, but most people can be silenced if they use the wealth accumulated in trade to scatter bribes.

(The spring of our world has finally arrived!Mercer, you're finally dead!)

Rhodes applauds in his stomach, shaking up and down the tap and swelling luxury.

(His Highness Raydol is an unmatched hero.Nagata... Shizen is just a countryside pig warrior.What can we do to match countries?A noble man chosen like me must be the ruler and move the country instead!)

In the heart of the great aristocracy of Rhodes was an ever-growing sense of self-esteem and power.

Rockwood was a loyal aristocrat, whereas Rhodes had no choice but to take power and fatten his stomach.There was no respect or loyalty for the Zayn royal family.

The indefinite desire was enriched like a monster and had grown to an unsatisfactory status as a Marquis.

(This time, I will take the position of Prime Minister!And... I stand at the top of the kingdom of Zain with His Highness Regent Raydol as his puppet!)

"His Royal Highness Raydol is here!They knelt together! "

"Nh...!"

The knight raised his voice at the entrance between the thrones.

The lined nobles fell on their knees and lowered their heads.Rhodes follows suit.

The door was wide open, and a young man appeared refreshed.

A man in a luxurious costume became King Zain's younger brother, Regent Raydol Zain.The man who brought a few servants walks through the middle of the throne with the wind on his shoulders.

The magnificent behavior is worthy of a monarch.

(Mmm... this is...)

Rhodes glanced at Raidor secretly as he stepped through the room majestically.

Rhodes has been in the realm for himself ever since the war with the Empire began.He was clashing to survive, demanding reinforcements and military funding from the royal palace.

For this reason, this is the first time I have seen Raidor returning from a frontier exploration city.

Having spent five years in a frontier pioneering city, Raidor had grown into a magnificent figure that exceeded Rhodes' imagination.

(This... might be a little tricky for a puppet.Well... there are so many ways.)

No matter how proud you are, no matter how innocent you are.There is no human being without desire in this world.

Rhodes knew better than anyone how to stimulate others' desires and deprive them of their reason.

Alcohol and beauty, gold and silver treasures - how to get into the young Raidor.

(Besides... you can use "Scarlet" if you want.)

Scarlet is an appetite grown in western countries, and is a medicinal herb characterized by red jagged leaves.

It has the effect of bringing excitement and happiness by drying and burning as incense, and was widely used in the western part of the continent, from nobility to the lower people.

Some countries prohibit the use and distribution of illegal drugs because of their highly addictive and paralyzing side effects… but not yet known in the Kingdom of Zane.

(You can't disobey me anymore if you captivate His Highness by offering it!Scarlet is only available to me with pipes and western countries!)

Serve Scarlet to Raidor for regular use.

That way, addicted Raydol will have to reuse Rhodes for more scarlet.

Rhodes, who became prime minister and took power in the court, took on the role of government on behalf of Raidor, who had lost his thinking ability due to the side effects of scarlet, and became the pinnacle of the kingdom of Zain.

In Rhodes' head was a picture of such a future.

Everybody, face up.

Raidor, standing beside the throne, gave a short order.

Rhodes slowly raised his face with a humble smile so that he wouldn't notice the ambition boiling in his belly.
