We entered Rambus Castle.

In the castle, compared to Sempler, it felt quite elegant.

I hardly have any artwork or anything.

Is it because I don't have enough funds?

"Your Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you, I will guide you to the moment of sight."

Looks like we'll see each other soon.

He thought it was possible that those who were not that tall would not be able to see him, but he seemed to be able to see him lightly.

be passed through during a glance.

There was a throne in the middle.

No one has sat down yet.

One man came out before us.

Slightly longer red hair. Your face gives you a shady vibe.

How old are you, like, in your late thirties?

He wears clothes that look fancy.

"Dear Leng, I welcome your line. My name is Shakma Dreys, Chancellor."

I bowed beautifully and named myself that.

A prime minister would mean someone in a pretty great position. Is he the one who's partitioning politics on behalf of the emperor?

Well, it's possible that the Emperor is doing his own politics.

I felt like an important person, so I looked at my abilities in the appraisal.

Someone capable inside... this high level of ambition...

Surely Emperor Someforth was still young.

It should have been five years older than me. So you're seventeen years old?

You inherited the trail at the age of eight and have always been a puppet of the ministers.

I'm putting such an ambitious thing in such an important position as the Chancellor... don't let the Emperor worry you a little.

"I will now call on His Majesty the Emperor. Please wait."

Shakuma went out from the sight to call the emperor.

After a while,

"Your Majesty, you are hereby admitted!

And I heard a loud voice.

Ordinary aristocrats rarely look at the emperor, but they learn how to do it if they are to look at it. Keep your head down first when the Emperor comes in. It's an extremely simple way to raise your head when you have permission.

There is also Charlotte on this occasion. I didn't teach her how to do that.

When I checked, he had a big yawn, so I gave him instructions to keep his head down in a hurry and let him lower it.

I also rush my head down.

Slowly the footsteps approach.

I felt signs that someone was coming in the room. Probably an emperor.

After a while,

"Raise your face."

and was told in a slightly slower tone.

I give a face.

"I am Charles Bidras, the twelfth emperor of the Samaforce Empire."

A young man with a mediocre face sat down for the throne.

He wears a crown and luxurious clothes, but his face itself is mediocre.

No, I don't know how noble you are with your face, but I thought you were a great handsome or somewhat existential face because you're an emperor.

Even if you walk around in mediocre clothes, you wouldn't dream of being an emperor.

Anyway, I'll use the appraisal because he's the emperor or the ability is very concerned.

Charles Bidras, 17. ”

It was a talent that had nowhere to protrude.

Ambition is the lowest 0 I've ever seen.

I was born as an emperor, but I can't be any more. So is that zero?

But even though the emperor, other states are already virtually no longer the supreme power because of the increasing chance of independence.

If you want to reign as full ruler of the Someforth again, you will have higher ambitions too, so I guess it's simply a character that doesn't aim that far up.

Afterwards, Leng greets him with an upbeat greeting.

"Shall we get down to business now? The story from you will be heard on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and by me. Even so, I have heard some things beforehand, but let me ask you again."

It looks like Shakuma will negotiate, not the Emperor.

He explained that Leng wanted us to broker negotiations with Paradise.

"In return for brokering, what can the emperor get?

"I will first pay 20,000 gold coins as an advance. Twenty thousand more at the successful dawn."

"Is it 20,000... Seems Sempler has some awesome funds..."

Shakuma seems to be in shock.

"Hmm, I appreciate you getting all that money, but I'd like to ask you something before I talk to you."

"Whatever."

"What are you going to do after your father, the Klan, has won the battle and unified the Meesians?

"How...?

"It means you're not going to disobey us. To put it plainly, I fear that we are going to be completely independent and establish a kingdom of Meesians."

Leng gets upset about that question this time.

"If that's what you're going to do, you can't help."

"Well, that's..."

The clan said clearly that it would be independent.

This pursuit is a target.

I guess Leng knew about that.

It's easy to understand and upset and very bad.

"There can't be independence. My Lord Clan pledges his allegiance to the Emperor's family."

Robinson spoke to get the help boat out.

"What about you?

"I'm late for my application. My name is Robinson Range, and I'm one of the Salemachian ministers."

"Lord Robinson. Is it true that Lord Klan is loyal to the Emperor? Previously, when Lowfile State, which was opposed to the Emperor's family, attacked me, I asked for reinforcements, but they never came. If you have loyalty, wouldn't it be natural to come?

"That was when Lord Klan's father was governor. The former Governor should have declined because he did have an anti-emperor idea. The clan was desperate to persuade him, but he couldn't accept it."

Perhaps it's a lie that you desperately persuaded him.

Is it because I expected this question to come that I could speak with dignity without saying so much?

Then I feel like teaching Leng. It won't be.

I mean, I guess he's improvising and coming up with a lie and talking.

"Anti-emperor ideas are handed down to Basamark. After he's got Misian in his hand, he'll be sure to be independent. Master Klan is fighting Basamark to stop it."

"Were you..."

I speak so grandly that I have no idea you're lying to me.

"You're not lying about that statement, are you?

"There is no way I can tell a lie or anything in front of His Majesty the Emperor. It's all true. Isn't that right, Master Leng?"

"Ah... well... yes. The current words are true. I swear to His Majesty the Emperor, it's true."

Leng is in a great hurry to be honest. Will that not be suspicious?

I don't know if you totally believed me, but after that, you told me you'd get an intermediary.

But this would be totally hostile to the Emperor's family if it became independent.

Well, you won't have to say anything to make it hostile, but it will be harder to reconcile when you become independent after this grand proclamation and help.

I thought you were glad you said this on your own, but I guess you thought it was better than being turned down.

"Now, I will first serve a letter to the House of Governors of Paradise, so I hope you will wait in the Imperial City for a while"

Negotiations with the Emperor's family were concluded, albeit with a slightly unexpected question.
