Episode 354

I decided to consult with Amani, the Prince of Wajal, on the way home.

"It was unexpected to me that Zachar's purpose was usurpation. For such a stupid scheme, His Majesty would take his life ..."

Amani mutters with a sad face.

I'm not familiar with Kuwait's laws and customs, so ask her a question.

"Can't Zachar be charged with the murder of the king? Necromancy can provide evidence."

Amani shook her head.

"Kwor has no developed magic, so there is no law or practice to use the results of magic as evidence. Even if Parker shows evidence in necromancy, no one can verify the truth. From "

Is that so too?

Because Zachar is a man who kills his men to seal his mouth, you may think that there is no proof that he is a king assassin.

"Then we have to pull him away from the mercenaries, for good reason."

I said that, but no good idea.

If he tries to take military power from him, he will immediately strip his fangs. Explicit methods are dangerous. Calfar becomes the sea of fire.

Then, how do you peel off your soldiers in a roundabout way?

There is also a way of assassination.

After assassinating Zakar, kill the mercenaries who are moving right and left. In the city war.

While doing damage to citizens and allies.

…… Stop it. There are more than 4,000 opponents, and every single turn is a professional warrior.

I want to avoid damaging the citizens. I don't want to be reprimanded by Prince Calfar, and I don't want to be diplomacy.

Above all, I don't want to make good people like the old couple Paga any more unhappy.

After worrying, I had no choice but to come to this conclusion.

"Let the mercenaries out of Calfar and head to the royal capital. A letter from Prince Baza says his contract with Zakar is about to end. He will take action before that."

Even though Zakar is the captain of the mercenaries, both himself and his subordinates are employed by Bazza.

At the end of his term, what is waiting for Zakar is a return order from Duke Bazza and a hearing. It will be imprisoned as it flows.

I keep going.

"This raid was originally intended to show off His Majesty the determination of the coastal princes. There is no reason to fight without His Majesty."

In any case, coastal princes cannot occupy the royal capital. It will be a civil war with basin lords.

Once the troops have been withdrawn, the negotiations will resume once the next king is crowned.

And if the next king is a decent person, the tax on the port should be withdrawn.

Amani puts her finger on her cheek and ponders.

"Yes, surely the war is over, but Zakar will be ruined if that happens.

Soldiers received from Duke Bazza and money robbed from Duke Calfar. It is time for Zakar to be the most maneuverable now that he has both.

After the contract with Prince Baza ends, his authority to move troops ceases.

It should move before that.

"I don't know what Zachar does when he enters the royal city, but it's important to have some legitimacy in seeking power. But you just need the cause. ''

When I said, Amani nodded.

"If he wants a cause, the lords must not give him a cause; let the lords upstream know that he will not be caught by Zakar and move his army. "

"Certainly it is going to be necessary."

I imagined what Zakar could think of and uttered what I noticed.

"If the princes move their troops to recapture the royal capital, Zachar will take the wrong hand." Whoever of the princes rebels in the absence of the king and invades the royal capital, but we invade the royal capital Protect it. "

"It is possible"

Zakar is a master of war. It's bad to get him on the battlefield.

Zakar's approach is to use the discarded pieces to advance the battle in an advantageous manner.

And now he has a lot of recruits who can be discarded.

Amani suddenly asks me anxiously.

"So how would Zachar behave if the princes did not move the army? The Guard could not attack without the king's edict, and there was an army that would stop him unless he had taken it from the Zakar side. Sen "

"If the SS doesn't move, Zakar won't do anything useless. He's a calculated man."

Now, how does it work in that case?

I know, somehow, I'm trying to gain power by crafty means. I don't know exactly how to do this.

"Knowledge of Her Majesty Pajam's succession, Zachar will move to secure the identity of Princess Faslin. Knowing Varkhan's jewel, he will try to get it too. I don't know how he works. ''

Amani smiled abruptly.

"So why don't you dare tell Zakar about one of the secrets? Then he'll be hooked and pursuing it."

Is there such a way of thinking?

I'm scared of this person.

I didn't have much idea to "leak the secrets of others", so the method is a bit resisting.

Certainly, it will be an excellent effect as a bait for inducing Zakar.

However, I can't feed a pregnant woman on a plot.

If so, do we use information about the hero manufacturing machine?

I can do it anyway if I get in.

"I see. I don't want to put Princess Faslin in danger, so I'll fish Zakar with the Valkan jewels. Do you have any suggestions on how to do that?"

"Yes, leave it to me. If it's the upper reaches of the mejire, leave it to My Wajal. We'll be the wolf with you and hunt down that mad dog."

Amani smiling happily.

I'm scared after all, this person.

It was good not to turn to the enemy.

When I return to Karfar, I foresee Amani returning to Wajar.

She was carrying armed servants on the boat she was riding. This is why the supposedly light hull full of skeletons was sinking. Be careful.

One wolf squad escorts Amani escorted by the tough servants.

The wolf escort is encouraging, as you can flee faster than a warhorse with a flax when it happens.

"Now, Mr. Weid, I'm preparing the summit of the upstream princes and preparing to shed secrets on Zakar."

"Thanks, Lord Amani. I will see Princess Faslin and help her. I will protect you if possible."

"Yes, thank you, take me to Wajar if you have anything. I'll protect you."

Amani bowed deeply to me and left Calfar in the darkness of the night.

Well, do I do my job?

"I'm going out for a moment, please come with a squad. Also, Parker is light, so I'll bring it down."

"You, what do you think of me?-See, this bag fits perfectly!"

I glanced happily at Parker who brought the hemp bag, and I sighed.

"Another squad for the caretaker."

A Jerikh squad, familiar with architecture, and a Fern squad, consisting of female members, will follow.

It is easy to sneak in because the villa with Princess Faslin seems to be under construction.

It was a vast garden near the river Mezile, south of the royal city of Encaraga.

Some of the palace and its surrounding walls are mostly finished, but most buildings and gardens are under construction. They make artificial ponds by drawing water from the river.

It is not intended for battle, and it is easy to attack because of the terrain. It didn't seem to be a good place to evacuate, but it's hard to expect Pajam II, a sparsely armed military.

"It's a good idea to negotiate with the SS to meet you, but you may have a Zakar insider. I don't want anyone to know I'm here, so sneak in."

"Even if he grows up, he is still a general."

Jerikh happily blurred.

Nodding to Fern.

`` Captain Weid thinks about planning so far, but when he comes to the scene, he comes out and fights. ''

It's hard to repeat.

Still, we waited for the night before transforming into a werewolf and climbing over the stone wall.

Since there is only one completed building, it is likely that Princess Faslin is there.

"Fern squad, take a look at him. The other person is a woman.

Fern laughs grinning in the dark.

"Are you delicately refraining from that? Is it also in the area?"

Why my wife comes out there.

The ferns left with a giggle, but came back after some time.

"A pretty woman is playing the instrument. The guard is only outside the building. There are four maid-like people inside, but I think it's different because she's just an aunt."

Fern reports, followed by a wolf on her side, Jerik's lover-like peer.

"I wanted to call out, but we came back because we're not very good at Khuang."

Oh, right?

forgot.

"Okay.

"Roger that"

"understood"

Eight werewolf and one skeleton nodded.

I turn into a werewolf and approach the building so that the patrol can't find it.

As Fern reports, the sound of the stringed instrument is heard. It seems that the sound is modest because it is night, but it was often heard that it was the ear of a werewolf.

I kick the ground as it is and I sneak in through the high window on the third floor.

Strictly speaking, the grate was inserted, but he was gently twisted by the power of a werewolf. Although it was destroyed immediately before completion, let me forgive you in an emergency.

The room is a circular dome with high ceilings and a large layout. Princess Faslin in a large room seemed lonely, partly because of the small interior and furnishings.

The light is only moonlight. In the moonlight, she plays a strangely shaped string instrument.

I gently jump out of the window and stand behind Princess Faslin.

...... It was good up to that point, but if you call now, you will definitely stop playing.

The maids may be suspicious and wait here until the performance is over.

When I returned to human form, I decided to lurch in the dark and wait.

The tone played is somehow sad and heartfelt.

Looking at her, I guess she's not 20 yet. Very young.

A widow at this age ... I feel a little pity.

And when the performance was over I went out of the darkness and opened my mouth under the moonlight.

"I'm sorry, Princess Faslin"
