Episode 185

Emperor Baharzov IV of the Holy Rolmund Empire.

I couldn't meet until the end, but for the rest of my life it was mediocre.

"When the former emperor broke down, I was struck by who the next emperor would be."

After completing the troublesome ceremony of the state funeral, Eleora returns to the mansion and sighs.

Until recently, I had changed classes from diplomats to mourners.

Since this is a state guest from Mirardia, I read the condolences with the kites. I'm pretty tired.

Elleora drinks tea with Natalia's neighbors and continues.

"Princess Bahasov, the first prince at the time, has taken over the throne .... Hana ostensibly."

Nobles in a position critical of Prince Bahasov lost their territory due to scandals, and diva who were rumored to be Prince's lover retired from lightning and entered a monastery, but nobody was dead, so a big problem is not.

A few days after the coronation, Bahasov's cousin was missing at a hunting ground in Lolmund, North.

The next day, a corpse was found in a completely different location, but was killed in an accident when a bear attacked him.

Eleora laughs thinly.

"Although only a limited number of corpse inspection records can be viewed inside the imperial chamber, it appears that northern Lorumund bears use their swords without hibernation, which is also a considerable master."

Master of the sword?

I imagine the confidentiality of Prince Dniesk, the face of Lord Barnak, who is renowned as Kensei.

He was originally a minority in Northern Rolmund.

In Lölmund, this incident is very famous for "Hunting for the Great Deer in the Cold Winter Festival".

When his cousin, who was most attached to the imperial throne, "accidentally died," the other cousins became calm like waves.

"At that time, it was the Duke of Dniesk who was hunting with his cousin at this time. Of course, it had nothing to do with his appearance, and he said that he was attacked by a" bear "and was saved by Lord Barnaq. There is "

It is rumored, however, that Dniesk may have taken a swift step to protect his brother's throne.

Since then, Dniesk himself has shown no interest in the throne, and has kept his brother, Baharsov, well.

Rather, it seems correct that he was doing all he could with his brother as a cover.

Since his brother was a man with no ambition, he seemed to be able to leave the throne with confidence.

But despite the fact that Bahasov was an extreme precedent, the empire seemed to have developed little in the past thirty years, but it has played a role in handing off the baton to the next generation.

I sighed softly, sighing the deceased, who was called "the precedent-based bonkra" or "the most boring man in history."

"In a peaceful era, one thing is not to do anything extra. In that sense, you might not have been a bad emperor."

Eleora nods.

"I can say that."

"I'm not a very interested person, but I still wanted to see him once."

Eleora looked annoyed and shook her head.

"You are a diplomat of Milardia. If you have an audience with the emperor, you must immediately negotiate about the future of Miraraldia. But you can see his political abilities. It's almost broken. "

The imperial record is turned over, and if there is a precedent, permission is granted, and if not, disapproval is the style. It cannot be competent.

People around him knew that, and he would have agreed on "the treatment of Milardia since it was on behalf of Prince Ashley."

Thanks to that, I was able to use that grace to solidify the ground in Lolmund.

Sir Rechonjah and other young royals are working hard to expand their power in the imperial capital, and in East Lolmund the Kasnievs should have taken over the lords.

I drink Natalia tea while thinking about the future. Feel the cold body warming from the inside.

"Sure, this empire is already rattling here and there, as you said before. It's no surprise that some people feel a sense of crisis."

The lords of each region, the sect of Huiyang religion, the faction of the palaces, the warlord, and the school. It's full of factions.

Everybody has something they have built up for years, so you can't make a compromise.

We'll have Eleora sort this out soon.

"Well, the question is, the next emperor. Eleora, will you give yourself a name at once?"

"n/a……"

Elora smiles calmly at my joke.

Recently, she feels a little softer. Probably because allies have increased.

"Because you have destroyed all your competitors."

... Well, as I said.

For now, the next emperor is Prince Ashley.

Dniesk and his sons are, of course, welcoming it. I don't know what he really is.

The same is true of Elleora and others. If you disagree here, you will definitely be sunk by crossfire.

The official coronation ceremony is a bit ahead now because it seems to be a period of mourning, but the birth of Emperor Ashley is almost certain.

"Ashley is dominating most of the palaces in the Imperial City. The lords of West Lorumund are on his side.

As the next emperor, it is necessary to hold this down since Guiyang is a tool that governs the spiritual aspects of the people.

And the imperial capital is in West Rolmund. It is militaryly important to keep lords around the Imperial City on your side.

"Is it possible that Prince Ashley's succession of power is safe now?"

"That's right. You couldn't attack us so easily if you wanted to take over the throne with force."

Both the Imperial City and Rolmund are too wide for the werewolf squad to take control of the surprise.

I need more preparation.

Just then, the Hammam of the werewolf squad returned. He, like Monza, is undertaking the intelligence operations of the werewolf squad. He seems to be in a hurry.

"A Lieutenant. In the middle of a surveillance mission at Dniesk House, we returned to an urgent report."

"What happened?"

Then he blows snow on his shoulders,

"The carriage of Dniesk has just arrived, and the squad has seen Dniesk and Prince Ivan on board."

"What did you say?"

Too steep. And it's unexpected.

I am worried because, via Lord Rkomya, the Duke of Dniesk had been informed that he would stay in the Imperial City for a while.

Attention should be paid to the fact that at this time a big man like Dniesk changed his schedule.

"Hammam, are you good at tracking carriages?"

Hammam did not disclose, but perhaps he was originally a desert bandit.

As expected, Hammam nodded with a serious face.

"Yes, Lieutenant"

"Follow me. The monitoring of the Dniesk House can be taken over by Monza units."

"understood"

At any time, the calm and silent Hammam came out with a light salute.

I looked at Eleora and asked while tilting my head.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, but it's the most important time to solidify the ground in the court. It's strange to leave the Imperial City."

Elleora frowns.

"What's weird is that he doesn't have his grandson, Prince Lünier. The Imperial capital, Dniesk, still has Prince Walroy, but it looks unnatural in combination."

That's true.

My grandfather and father came out, and my grandson was my uncle and my answering machine.

I tilt my head.

"Rebel preparations for usurpation of the throne ... It is strange that Prince Lünier remains in the Imperial City."

In addition, the season is about to start in winter, and it is not clear when the road to North Lorumund will be closed by snow.

Something might be working where I don't know.

When I got up, I put on a thick fur coat.

"I will come out. Eleora, your escort is safe because Fern's squad is responsible."

"No, that's fine ... but beware, Lord Weid"

"Oh, I know. I'll go kite!"

I jumped out of the room, calling out my deputy secretary, the magician Kite, who was good at gathering information.
