Running Away From The Hero!

Ambition - Memories of a Lady (84)

# 106 Their Reason: A Villain's Reason

It's unfair. It's so unfair.

I told you everything!

“Duke Laisha has declared a kingdom. What are you talking about? ”

Look at the way he looks at me like I'm a sinner!

I did my best for the Empire, and I can't believe I'm being treated like this.

“I am unfair, Your Majesty! ”

I can't believe you didn't recognize this loyalty. The Empire must be a bad sign, too.

“What?”

My body trembles with a very cold gaze.

Oh, come on! I feel like I really did something wrong.

“I told you everything yesterday! ”

“Did you?”

What's that look on your face?

Does it look like I'm lying to you?

“Lord Leah, you heard him. ”

“You did?”

“I think I was.... ”

“No, I told you all about it yesterday, but why are you reacting like this! ”

“I thought it was a dream. ”

“I thought you were full of shit. ”

“Wow……. ”

Isn't this really too much for me?

I looked around in a blasphemous manner.

Here we go! I live like this! It's so unfair!

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

But the surrounding gaze is a little... different from what I expected.

“Excuse me?"

Even though I was the most unfair person in the world, no one felt sorry for me.

Rather, no one looked at me.

If someone looks me in the eye, I think he's guilty of treason.

“Your Majesty, what did you say to scare others by just making eye contact with me! ”

I thought I was doing well in my social life, but this is how I react.

This must be a conspiracy.

The princess was clearly set up to isolate me!

“Have you already forgotten what you did? ”

The princess looked at me with a ridiculous look.

“I did my best. ”

“That's the problem? Individuals did their best to build a country where the nobles of the enemy country are independent? How are you supposed to do that? ”

"You can do it as well, as hard as you can," he said. ”

“If everyone works well, hard, and does their best, there will be about 2,000 countries in the world. ”

“There could be more. ”

The princess and Lord Leah sigh with an absurd expression.

“Your Majesty, the result of my hard work has only been fruitful. ”

“Ha! Let's hear a story. What have you done? ”

The Queen Dowager's aura subsided.

I didn't think it would be weird to hit my neck until just now, but it was easier to just calm down a little.

What should I say, like a cat?

Others have their weaknesses, but those who think they are.

Of course, if you ask me to choose between the Cat Butler and the Empress Butler, I will choose the Cat Butler without hesitation.

Cats are cute, but princesses aren't cute.

“As I said yesterday, I've spent some money on operational costs before. ”

“I think it was yesterday. ”

To the princess who nodded, I worked hard to explain what had happened so far.

“It was all used to divide the Duke of Lycia and the Kingdom of Mercia. ”

It's a lie, actually.

He said he was going to use classified ops, and he put them all in my back pocket.

Speak for yourself!

The country's Treasury Department was a gathering of geniuses, and the tower of geniuses, the Treasury Department, was a monster who noticed if it leaked even a small amount.

Such geniuses cannot be deceived by ordinary people like me.

But they needed the money, so they needed to be deceived.

Because I've been asking Dwarves to make a lot more stuff lately and the money is bad!

I thought about how to get money out of their eyes, but the answer was simple.

Their gaze is inevitable.

Then... let's take it outright without avoiding the station!

He told me that if I took the money openly and complained, I could not tell you because it was used for a covert operation.

It was only possible because it was an exhibition.

Even geniuses can't take money openly and insist it's confidential!

The money that I worked so hard for finally gave me a reason.

“I used that money to hire mercenaries, to fund Duke Lycia a little bit. ”

“Are you crazy?"

Support the enemy openly.

This could have been treason if it had gone wrong.

“It's all in the project to make Duke Raisha a general. ”

But if all this has been sanctioned by the Great Emperor, then the story will be different!

“I have gained the trust of Duke Lydia as a false identity. It was easy to fool. ”

Not all of them were lies.

I supported Duke Lydia at Howling, and was able to get in touch with Duke Lydia with ease.

And after an hour or so of his first encounter, Duke Laisha was freed from the Kingdom of Mercia and built the Kingdom of Laisha.

“… So? ”

“I came into the castle of Mabelis last night with a video magic device I received from Imperial informants, and I met Duke Raisha. ”

“Video Magic Tool? ”

“I received a magical tool from the intelligence agency that captured the situation inside the Kingdom of Mercia. ”

I gave the magic tools to Duke Laisha, but I can explain the contents easily.

“Across the realm, you must take the position of Duke Laisha's general!" He's a loser! ’”

It was enough to move Duke Lysha's mind just by showing it.

“I think I just received a letter asking me to return to my home country. ”

“Is that all you could do? ”

“I convinced him to be a little anti-Semitic. ”

“Persuade……. ”

The princess narrowed her eyes and stared at me for persuasion.

“Is it really convincing? ”

Lord Leah asked me with a similar face.

“It's unfair, Your Grace. Suspicion of not being able to reward someone who works hard! ”

“Excellent. As a reward for the Earl's position..." ”

“Your Majesty, I like cash. ”

The Earl gives me the creeps.

An Earl who is suspected by the organization of people just because he's on his own.

I could have killed him because it was too dangerous.

It's like when we were in Ming Dynasty, or if we wanted something to work a little better, we'd kill it!

“Then tell me the truth. What did you convince him to do? ”

“It was just ordinary. This letter is clearly to call you out of the kingdom and purge you. You greet them with a smile, poison them, and then you say," It's all dirty empire tricks! "’.' So we have to be independent now that we have the military. Warriors loyal to the realm? They said they need rest in the war, so they can put this in a glass... ”

“This one?”

“Ah, the poison. I secretly bought it with the money I took this week to use as a covert operation. ”

“ ……. ”

The princess whispered like a crucian carp.

For the record, I put all this money in my pocket.

The poison had to be received by experts in the organization.

I ordered the organization to wipe out the Duke of Lycia.

Good for the Imperial Army, good for the organization, good for my pockets!

This must be the Trinity!

“Then he persuaded me to gather the royal generals to feast and drink poisoned liquor. ”

I've heard that there are some among them, but the extreme readings of the organization are Knights and Swordmasters, and everyone is ordinary.

Drink it and die!

The Duke of Lycia was relieved to see the sovereign master die!

Well, things went fast after that.

“As if the generals were already preparing after their deaths, Duke Laisha moved on to establish the Reisha Kingdom. You said you were going to declare the Kingdom of Risa this morning, but you really did it. ”

After hearing the announcement of the Reisha Kingdom tomorrow morning, 'Howling is also celebrating the birth of the Reisha royal family. I said, "I'm out.

“This is what happened last night between dawn. ”

It was strangely quiet in the barracks.

The others standing like a hurricane, as well as the princess and Lord Leah, did not say anything.

“Your Grace?"

“ ……. ”

After finishing the story, I watched for about three minutes, but no one said a word.

I spoke to the princess in a strange atmosphere, but the answer never came back.

“I'm done talking... …. ”

I'm getting hungry.

As soon as I got up in the morning, I couldn't even have breakfast.

I didn't even eat last night!

As a member of the Evil Society, you can fast for a week, but you don't have to eat if you can't!

“If there's nothing to talk about, can I eat and come over? ”

I get up from my seat with a glimpse.

Kneeling for quite a long time, I straightened my legs and turned my head to look around.

“ ……. ”

Shrug.

The knees start to bend again.

Still a bit rusty, but the surroundings are more rusty.

Everyone is in a similar pose.

Holding my head with my head down, or looking up at the sky, ‘God…….' or muttering.

Or him.

“ ……. ”

Close your eyes like a princess and shudder.

“ ……. ”

I let go of the grumbling belly because I knew, and waited for the princess to say, kneeling down.

“Phew……. ”

After about 10 minutes.

The princess took a deep sigh as if to listen on purpose.

“We start the meeting now. ”

… I thought you were in a meeting?

Suddenly I thought about it.

“Yes, Your Grace. ”

I realized that I had not yet started the meeting in the voices of the other merchants who heard behind my back.

So what have you done so far? A hearing?

“I... think everyone knows... about the war against the Kingdom of Mercia and the Kingdom of Leisha. ”

The Empress who looked at me with her expressionless face for a moment shouted at others.

“This fool had an accident... but I can't help it. We'll have to inform the imperial court by deciding whether to end the Kingdom of Mercia or the Kingdom of Risa. ”

I've worked hard, and I've come up with great results, and you treat me like an idiot!

No, before that!

“Your Grace.”

“ ……. ”

“Your Grace?"

“ ……. ”

“Excuse me, Your Highness? Can't you hear me, Your Majesty? Your Majesty! ”

I raised my voice as much as I could while watching the princess who was avoiding me waving to her hands.

“Great and beautiful, the most noble princess in the world! ”

“... Okay, that's enough. ”

The princess sighed and finally gave me her gaze, because she purposely put a disgraceful sign.

It's your feelings that make your shoulders look saggy.

“What?”

The princess who held up her hands and her forehead for some reason looked 40 years old.

Wow, that's what a teenager looks like.

You've been through a lot.

“Your Majesty, I have a question. ”

“Please don't... ”

“Don't you regret it? ”

“... What? ”

I asked the princess with a long face that I was really curious about.

“Why fight against the Kingdom of Mercia? ”

“Of course it's the enemy. ”

“Then why fight against the Reisha Kingdom? ”

“That's the enemy... ”

“No, Your Majesty. Our enemy is the Kingdom of Mercia, not the Kingdom of Laisha. ”

“That's what it is. ”

“No, it's different. ”

Raisha Kingdom is the New Kingdom.

It had a castle in Mebellis that was fortified but not suitable as a capital city, and a fair place with 100,000 troops, though it was a kingdom born this morning.

“Don't they say the enemy is an ally? ”

“What the……. ”

Her narrowing eyes begin to widen.

“Is... that it? ”

As expected, Princess. You don't have to explain it all because you're a well-spoken opponent.

“Yes, it is. Yesterday, I gave you a little 'advice' about what you need in the Reisha Kingdom. ”

What the Reich needs.

That was the reason.

“The cause of the Kingdom of Laisha is that the Kingdom of Mercia has abandoned itself. In other words, it has been a hostile relationship with the Kingdom of Mercia since the birth of the Kingdom of Raisha. ”

It was the same for the Kingdom of Mercia.

I was at war with a hostile nation, but I was freed from a castle that was occupied by a General.

If you leave it alone, it doesn't end with laughter.

The moment Duke Raisha succeeded the Kingdom of Raisha, a powerful noble might create a second kingdom.

Of course, there won't be any nobles as crazy or as brave as Duke Raisha... but we don't know the world.

From the standpoint of the Kingdom of Mercia, we must kill Duke Lysha as soon as possible.

“Duke Raisha will be negotiating with the Empire by the end of the day. We just have to accept that. ”

It was a simple negotiation.

No silence treaties.

I'm not going to your land. Don't come to our land.

Accept that and Duke Laisha will fight the Kingdom of Mercia with all his might.

When I raised my hand, the princess stared at me dazed.

I felt that look, and I opened one finger on my chest.

“There's only one thing we need to do. ”

“ ……. ”

“From now on, we just have to watch the Kingdom of Mercia and Reisha kill each other. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'll solve this without a fight! What a happy ending! ”

I spoke in a clear voice, but no one in the barracks spoke.
