Running Away From The Hero!

Ambition - Memories of a Lady (18)

# 23 Their Reason: A Villain's Reason

“Ahh... ”

When I entered the wagon, a sigh popped out. I feel like I made a mistake yesterday and became a thorn field in the imperial court.

“Should I just scatter from here.... ”

Conducting tasks in a foreign country. It's a good time to run, but I think Lord Leah will cut me down if I run away from here, so I decided to just give up.

“If the Sword Master slashes you.... ”

I used to hear that a lot.

The bullet spins around, so if you get shot, the hole in the bullet is small but the back is heavily pierced.

Well, I don't know what it feels like to not get shot, but I think that's what the Swordmaster would look like.

The problem is that the steel pierces all the big holes in front and back.

“I should have bounced a long time ago, but it was too late. ”

Someone from my past life did. It's really too late when you think you're too late.

I think that's the truth.

I should have run away as soon as I thought I had to run away, but my timing is slowing down.

“You should say you learned. ”

Now that I've learned it once, I should run as soon as I feel like I have to run from now on. The problem is that we may be able to escape the Imperial Court before that.

Well, the Imperial Court is a place where people live, and the Empress will have a chance, so let's just relax and wait.

Let's take care of this first.

“Ahh... I'm so twisted.”

Since I was dispatched on behalf of the Imperial Court, I was able to receive a file summarizing the incident because I became a leader here.

Well, to summarize,

< Caran Empire, Dru and Dru. >

to the extent possible.

“Yay, let's do something neat. ”

And to me, of course, those are horrible, blatant, shitty acts.

“Most of the signatures are poisonous, and a handful of others are assassinated. You want me to think about who's behind this? ”

The location of the bodies was mostly in the middle of the city.

I didn't even hide my signature there. At least if you did, you could hide the body or burn it, or drown it in a pond!

That way, even if the worker made a mistake, 'the corpse was so corrupt that it was hard to accurately confirm.’ I can go to the line.

But according to the Kingdom of Peleros, the corpse was so perfectly preserved.

“There's no reason to do this on purpose. ”

Clearly, the Karean Empire will be held responsible for the Kingdom of Madsen and the Kingdom of Helkas, both at the height of the war and in the face of the mission.

But the Empire will know. That the two kingdoms were not the culprits, that someone wanted to expand the war between the two kingdoms and caused the empires to join forces.

It could be a country that is currently at war, or it could be one that is trading and profiting in the midst of war.

No, I think I'm going to lose to an ally of the Empire, so maybe it's just a ploy to get the Empire involved.

“Whatever it was, I just needed a little twist. ”

The more twisted the original incident is, the person who handles the work will be insulted, but will not blame the person's incompetence.

It says, "You can't solve this either! ’But he knows he can't help it.

However, when there is so much evidence on the scene to do this openly, it is like proving your inability at the moment of mistake.

If you do that, your minimum salary will be reduced and you may get fired from your maximum job…….

“Huh?"

Can I get fired... degrees?

“Huh? Was this an opportunity? ”

Currently, two earls from me and the Foreign Ministry were in charge of retrieving the body to the Kingdom of Peleros.

Ordinarily, the obese Earl of the Foreign Ministry would be in charge, but I have similar authority as recommended by the imperial court, or actually recommended by the Empress.

In the beginning, there was also a history of the Empress, and some of the deaths were even mentioned as Lord Leah's betrothal.

So the Earl of this Ministry of Foreign Affairs is just a formal group of people, and in fact, the leader of this group is a country.

If a big accident happens here....

“You're fired? You're not going to kill me, are you? ”

We used to work together in the Imperial Court, but they won't kill us for making a mistake.

Just not getting kicked out of taxes you've paid so far. That's fine.

Life as a servant of an evil organization after all. There was no way a rogue organization could pay taxes to a country, so it didn't deserve the benefits anyway.

“It's best to lose a corpse after being attacked.... ”

Of course, Lord Leah's ex-boyfriend must be protected. If I don't, Lord Leah will have my head before I get fired from the Imperial Court.

And if I lose the rest of the bodies, I'm going to get complaints from the families, and I'm going to resign.

You can say that you were kicked out because of this incident in the organization and start a comfortable instructor life.

“Ugh... Perfect.”

Of course, there is one thing that can be dangerous in the raid, but I can rest assured. This is not the work of a fellow worker.

If he was part of a rogue organization that specializes in this kind of work, he would have made things a little more complicated.

For example, even if you do the same thing, you pretend it's all some other force's movement, 'This is a conspiracy that's actually been going on in a lot of different places!’ I would have made the same thing.

And he would have surrounded some nobles and made them shout that there was a conspiracy, and he would have surrounded the nobles who opposed it and confronted them.

That way, the nobles who support both sides will naturally gather, and the nobles will spread their wills to frame the opposition faction by their nature, and they will fight on their own without us touching them.

Then the Imperial Court must act to investigate.

At that time, some nobles may have forged evidence to create this incident with other countries at war. That's the least you can do. It's called obscurity!

“They can't even eat this kind of obscenity. ”

I can't believe you created a case like this and used it as a disposable.

It was probably created by a country or organization that lacked talent as a darkness.

“Well, I could have come up with a plan so perfect that I didn't even notice. ”

It should not be filled with malice that I am unaware of treading the Elite course in a rather vicious organization.

That's what I thought.

“Huh?"

I never thought my opponent level would drop like this.

# 24 Their Reason: The Reason of a Kingdom

“We have a call from the border. The investigation team of the Karan Empire has arrived at the border. ”

“Have you recovered all the bodies? ”

“Magicians and wizards are engaged, conservation magic is underway. ”

Inside the castle of Peleros. This place was more like a market than Uranus.

“Excellent. A chance to give the Empire a good image as the central war grows more intense!" ”

The Kingdom of Peleros, which is included in the central country, senses that the war that began with the two small nations is progressing significantly.

Not only the nearby kingdom, but the kingdom that was facing the border recently also participated in the war.

As a central country with an increasingly fragrant smell of war, it is natural for the Peleros Kingdom to work to strengthen its alliance with the Karean Empire, which is one of the greatest military forces on the continent!

“The war is getting bigger. This will require the Karan Empire to defeat the Kingdom of Mercia. ”

The Kingdom of Mercia.

I don't use the Empire's name, but I guess it's because I've been fighting the Karean Empire for a long time? At this point, the Kingdom of Mercia had a military force that was not outmatched by any empire on the continent.

And the Peleros Empire, which diplomatically chose the Karean Empire, is hostile to the Kingdom of Mercia!

Although it is not facing the border, the Kingdom of Peleros has no choice but to feel burdened by the Kingdom of Mercia because it is an ally with the Kingdom facing the border.

“This is a report from the border gate manager! The Imperial leader has told me he will not use the gate, but the mainland! ”

“What? Why? No, I want every checkpoint cleared for Imperial personnel as soon as possible! ”

Our priority is to make our friendship with the Empire stronger.

The next most important thing is to earn the favor of Baron Astr de Lylac, the Chief Investigator!

“The opponent is the baron, but Empress XI's best friend! He is in the same position as Lord Leah, the Princess of the Sword! Imperial influencers too, so pass them on to the arriving territories to prepare for the best treats! ”

“I understand!”

As the wizard who finished the report quickly disappeared, the chief could only sigh.

“Hey, emergency report! Imperial investigators have arrived at the Royal Gate. ”

“What?"

The moment I sighed, something happened behind my back!

“I was told you were coming by road, but what are you talking about! ”

“I just came back to use the gate to speed things up! ”

“Damn it!”

The investigators included an armed force. It was a diplomatic offense for those men to enter the central city of a country without asking permission, but they entered the city at will as if they didn't care about it.

“That's unusual……. ”

This will be a demonstration.

We have already experienced the death of an envoy in our alliance. So we can make this ridiculous example to protect ourselves.

Will you remain as our allies, even though you may face this, even if you may face it in the future?

“The quality of the test is very poor. ”

This is a test of the Empire against the kingdom of Peleros.

No matter how powerful the Empire's military may be, fewer than a hundred people can enter a kingdom's castle.

Even if they all go to jail, they won't be able to argue, but their leader put them on the line and did this.

“Then I'll have to accept it. ”

The opponent is the Empress 1, who is growing at an unprecedented rate even in the great Karean Empire.

The reports from the Foreign Ministry in the Empire are inconclusive, but I think I can get to know him well on this one.

“Ridiculous numbers, bold determination, and charisma that can carry it out. Is this the power of the person who gained imperial power in a short period of time as the body of a commoner? ”

Less than five years.

It would be almost impossible for even the smallest continent to receive the title of first lady's maid and nobleman from a servant chosen for ordinary duties.

I can't believe I have to deal with someone who's accomplished such a thing on the continent!

“This is going to be hard. ”

He has spent his life in the imperial court, known as the peritoneal war, but survived and took power in the imperial court, which is considered to be hell enough to make the kingdom of Peleros look ridiculous in a short time.

If you look at me as a child under 30, this one will die.

“What did you do? ”

“We're holding the gate for a simple inspection. ”

“Very well. Tell the men handling the body as soon as possible. Be ready in an hour. ”

“Yes. Then the Chancellor... ”

“I will personally take charge of the Imperial investigation. Don't send any more men. If you don't send it, it'll get eaten! ”

“Yes!”

I took a big breath as I watched the knight running without brushing his sweat.

“The Empire has arrived. From now on, complete all tasks and do your best in the bar! Show the Empire the weather conditions of the Peleros Kingdom! ”

“I understand!”

Strengthening your alliance with the Empire is good, but it cannot show weakness.

Our goal is a good alliance, not a good one.

“Then... shall we go deal with the new Imperial Monster?" ”

And to accomplish that, I took a step as a national monarch to deal with a new imperial monster.
