Running Away From The Hero!

Ambition - Memories of a Lady (83)

# 104 Their State: The State of the Kingdom of Mercia

Rumors are spreading throughout the kingdom of Mercia.

“Did you hear that? ”

“Oh, you mean that? ”

“That's right. There's no one else talking about it these days, is there? ”

“That's it. ”

The Kingdom of Mercia is currently at risk of a lightning bolt.

The kingdom was breached and the Reich army, allied with the Imperial Army, could march into the capital at any moment.

However, rumors spread throughout the kingdom that were so great that even such an atmosphere could be lightly ignored.

“Could this have been the work of the Karan Empire? ”

“Right? Duke Laisha wouldn't do that, no matter how much I think about it. ”

“Yes, of course. Have there been any longevities who have defeated the Empire but him? ”

“None. All tricks of the empire to bring down General Laisha. ”

The rumor was that Duke Raisha had become a general and was played by the Empire.

Duke Laisha is a hero of the Kingdom of Mercia.

No one wants to believe that their hero is actually a fake hero made in the hands of the enemy.

I thought it would not be true even though most of the people of the Kingdom of Mercia heard the rumors.

But...

“Ha! Didn't I tell you? There's no way a Raisha can defeat the Empire. ”

“What?"

“What do you know? ”

It means that there are some people, not most of them. And they had something in common.

“What do you know? You see it?”

Bang!

The only man in the restaurant who abused the Duke of Lycia put one of his legs on the table.

“What the hell... …. ”

They were impressed by the man's actions, but soon they could see what he was trying to say.

“My legs... ”

What he was trying to do was not put a leg on the table.

I tried to put my two legs up, but I couldn't.

His legs were one!

“Do you know where this one leg is? It's in an Orc ship! In an Orc ship! He just did what Duke Lydia told him to do! ”

The man took the bottle in one hand to his mouth roughly.

Then maybe it was the drinking or the anger. I started to swear with my red face.

“Damn you! Duke Raisha was pushed by an Orc without intelligence! That's the guy who won the war against the Imperial Army, which even the late Aricetias couldn't beat? You think that's possible? ”

“Well, that can't be! ”

“What do you know about me? Ask the bastards who said it. What do you know? Has Duke Reisha ever commanded anyone? No? Find the people you've received and ask them. A lot of people's lives have been ruined because of him. ”

The man frowned when there was no alcohol in the bottle and put it on the table.

“Damn! It's been a long time since I've been out drinking, but I can't help feeling it. ”

And on crutches, I got up hard.

“Host, Calculation. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

A lot of people only looked at the man's behind leaving the store after making the calculations.

“No way...? ”

“Oh, no. An Imperial spy. That bastard must be an Imperial spy trying to molest Duke Lysha! ”

Those who deeply believed in Duke Lysha denied the truth, but too many people were harmed by Duke Lysha.

“Our son is dead because of Duke Laisha! ”

“Duke Laisha has cost me your father, my husband, and my son! ”

“I have a lifetime of disability under his absurd command! ”

“You've made such an incompetent man into a general! What the hell is the kingdom thinking? ”

Over time, bad news about the Duke of Lycia began spreading across the kingdom.

It wasn't Howling's plan.

The public opinion about Duke Lysha was not good enough for Howling's group who had infiltrated the Kingdom of Mercia to execute the plot.

Seeing people chewing on the Duke of Lycia like he was the enemy of the house, he said, "Are you the same gang? I could have told you!

More surprisingly, they were purely the people of the Kingdom of Mercia.

He was just so angry that Duke Raisha was the enemy of the house.

It was because Duke Raisha had done so much.

Duke Laisha, who was unwilling to be compared to Duke Laisha, who had accumulated many accomplishments, took advantage of his position and participated in numerous battles.

From defeating Goblins small to fighting against neighboring countries large.

Duke Raisha's territory had nothing to do with the border, but he led a military force to study and left for the border.

He also participated only in relatively small countries, with remarkable results.

And it was not just the people who knew about it.

“Your Majesty! He is truly incompetent. I saw myself defeated by the kingdom of Dermea with three times as many soldiers. ”

“Yes. It was the first Duke of Lysha in his life who was toyed with the intelligence of the Goblins. ”

“I was dealing with ogres, who told ordinary soldiers to stop them in dense formations. Dozens of soldiers die in Ogre strikes. It's still a dream. ”

The public opinion of the Duke of Leisha is getting worse, and those who have been oppressed by his authority begin to open their mouths one by one.

“Your Grace, he is not a man to serve as a general. ”

“Yes. You know that, don't you? ”

“The only person who can see Princess Mayria with an evil eye is Princess Mayria. ”

Dozens of nobles cling to Baez, who was chosen as the next king, and began to tell the truth about the Duke of Lysha.

“Huh……. ”

Seeing the nobles gossiping about Duke Laisha everyday, Baez couldn't hide his confused feelings.

“When I didn't believe, no one listened to me.... ”

Now that I'm trying to trust Duke Raisha, all the nobles are asking me not to.

“God, what to do. ”

I can't see.

The kingdom of Mercia was shaking both externally and internally.

At this rate, it will collapse.

First, it needed to stabilize internally.

“Tell Commander Raisha. Leave a handful of men with General Vargrine and abandon Castle Mevelis! He led his own troops back to the capital! ”

“Yes, Your Grace. ”

Baez chose to break through.

Call Duke Raisha to the castle and order him to defeat the First Imperial Prince.

If Duke Raisha wins against the First Emperor, he proves his power. Rumors will sink, and if he loses, the rumors are true, so it is only necessary to take the position of the commander and recover his troops.

As a kingdom, you can suffer losses when you lose, but you have no choice but to stabilize the inside.

Unlike before, Duke Raisha couldn't disobey orders because he asked for the sins of the plot.

Baez coldly looked at the reality and made the right decision.

It was not a bad judgment. It wasn't the best, but it was the next step.

It's just... I didn't like the opponent. It was because he was the Duke of Raisha.

Boom!

“I, Your Majesty! ”

“Why are you doing that? ”

“General Wagraine is dead! ”

“What?"

Who is General Wagraine? Lord of the Marquis Lagertha family, King Gryde was a trustworthy general.

Being too upright was also a disadvantage, but it was a great general with the belief and skill to keep it upright.

I can't believe he's dead!

“The Imperial Army has invaded! ”

He and Duke Raisha were defending the Imperial forces in the castle of Mevelis. His death meant that the border to the Empire was dangerous.

“No. General Wagrain... was poisoned. ”

“What?"

Baez's head suddenly turned white.

‘Poison, poison...' The Empire has released a poison? A common poison won't kill someone as talented as Bagline. ’

Another possibility appeared in Baez's head, but he denied it. It was because it was too ridiculous.

However,

“General Wagrain... was poisoned by Relligius. ”

“Religious?”

“I am Duke Laisha. ”

“W-what is that……. ”

That absurd imagination became reality.

“It's the reverse.”

“What?"

“Relligius, your messenger, summoned and poisoned those loyal to the kingdom, and later declared the kingdom of Laisha as its own. ”

“That's … what……. ”

The shock was so overwhelming that Baaace only spoke.

Betrayal in this situation! Reverse fur!

I was doubtful that he was sane.

Everyone in the kingdom could survive as one, and in this situation, split the country in two!

“Stupid, stupid! ”

A crack! It only works for the Empire.

That mighty and greedy empire will not stand for the Kingdom of Mercia or Religious.

“... Does your father know? ”

“That's right. He's leading an army on his way to Duke Lysha. ”

Reverse hairs destroy the family of related persons. Burns and destroys everything in the territory controlled by the lord if the lord is involved in the plot.

“Damn……. ”

Things are too bad.

It was legal to do so, but one soldier could not kill the great territory of the Duke of Leisha and the people who lived in it, in the unfortunate situation.

“What did... my father say? ”

However, even during war, we cannot let those who are related to the reverse plot go unpunished. If you leave a precedent, it will continue to catch your ankle.

“He said all the bloodshed of Duke Laisha will be put to death, while the rest of the men will be enslaved to the front. ”

“Is that so…. ”

Fortunately, if you're blinded by anger and destroy everything, it could be the worst.

“Your Majesty... ”

Baaeth sighs of relief.

The worst was avoided.

But that choice was neither the best nor the best. It's just a bad choice.

“Damn it!”

My head gets complicated.

Why the hell would this happen?

“Why on earth? ”

Has God forsaken this country?

Baaeth worries about the future of the Kingdom of Mercia as it grows so murky and darker.

# 105 Their Reason: A Villain's Reason

“Where have you been? ”

“Ah, Lord Leah. ”

“That's also a very suspicious outfit……. ”

It was Lord Leah who looked at me suspiciously.

Well, it has to be.

No matter who sees it, 'I'm suspicious. It was because I was wearing a set of black clothes.

“I've been working. ”

“What the hell are you doing dressed like that? ”

Strange, isn't it?

Seeing Sir Leah without hiding her gaze, I began to cover my body in a neat manner.

“What are you looking at? ”

Cover your chest and important areas with your hands. He looks disgusted as if he's looking at a pervert.

“Well, where did you see it? ”

Lord Leah's face began to flush red and her gaze naturally turned to the part where I was hiding.

If you are unconscious and the person reacts like this, you will naturally see it once!

“Huh! You're seeing me again! ”

“Oh, no! I'm not!”

I muttered in a cold voice to Lord Leah, who was so red that her face exploded.

“I knew that age... …. ”

“What does age matter? ”

Usually, it's a common character to pretend not to know.

“How many of your peers are not engaged? ”

“Aah! I was there! I was engaged! They're gone because of the evil Mercedes! ”

It is all the fault of the Kingdom of Mercia that I am not engaged!

It was a moment when I wondered how long that excuse would last.

“Ast……. Don't make fun of Leah. ”

“Oh, Your Majesty. ”

Maybe it's because Lord Leah's voice was loud. The princess who woke up in my barracks, far from the princess' barracks, walked heavily.

“What kind of outfit is that? ”

“This is my work outfit. ”

“What's going on? ”

“It's for the Empire. ”

I am too suspicious of the people who have come to work for my country, my country.

Ah... It's not my country. The country in which I was born is ruined!

“You used to spend a little money on operations like this. ”

“Which one? You didn't spend a dime or two on it, did you? ”

“It was the last time the Treasurer complained that he had spent that large amount without any information. ”

“Oh, that…? ”

To the princess who nodded her head, I told her what I had done.

“Duke Raisha has set me free from the Kingdom of Mercia. ”

“Huh?"

“Yes?”

The princess said, "Am I still awake? ’I tried to go back to sleep.

“Your Majesty? Didn't you hear the report? ”

“I'm still awake. ”

“A moving tale of today, the birth of the Reisha Kingdom! ”

“Leah, did we have a dog? I keep hearing shit. ”

“I know you don't have any dogs, but I'll check them out. ”

Hey, aren't you being too hard on the guy who's been working so hard?

“Excuse me? Sir Leah? ”

At first I thought it was a joke, but then I couldn't help but sigh as I saw Sir Leah starting to look for the princess and the dog who really went into the bedroom.

“I don't know. I'm tired and I need to sleep. ”

Sleep well, you working hard!

I changed into a comfortable outfit and fell asleep in the cot.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

The next morning, I woke up as an alarm for the princess' voice.
