Tearmoon Empire Story

Lesson 69: The Evil Snakes

The story goes back a little while.

The letter from Meer to Retizia was delivered that night.

The stage is a mansion in the corner of the Imperial Capital. They were gathered together in one of the rooms.

It was, in a way, a historic... or a back-of-the-way meeting.

There were three of them gathered together.

One of them is a snake born from the horse kingdom, the family of fire, and a fire wolf.

One is a surviving assassin of the Marine Nation, the Vaisalian Nation.

And then there's the one who's left... "

"This is, this is..." "Gerta, an old snake living in the land of the Empire..." It's a pleasure to meet you. "My predecessors. As a precaution, are there any tailings?"

The old maid, Gerta, turned her attention towards the wolf without moving her taut smile at all.

"Even if I forgive you for following me...?"

"Hahaha, this is rude. It was rude of you guys....."

"Well, I know you'll be wary." Your princess has fallen into the hands of the wisdom of the Empire, isn't she? "

Without breaking the smile in her mouth...... just a sharp light piercing her eyes, Gerta said.

"That's why I said it." When all the conspiracies within the Empire are destroyed, it's better to be careful with them..... "

"No, hahaha. The words of the forerunners who have carefully breathed and survived are persuasive."

The wolf continued scratching her chin.

"However, when the hands of the Imperial Wisdom Demon are finally approaching you... the plan to kidnap the Marquis of Schubert... you must be out of luck."

The wolf shrugged her shoulders in despair.

"I see, Lord Blue Moon's eldest son is very obsessed with his fiancé..." Taking the fiancé hostage, he plots against the wisdom of the Empire... This is a blow to the wisdom of the Empire, which is still supplying food through aristocrats everywhere. "I can't forgive the Blue Moon..." I see, it's quite an upscale strategy. "

"Papa," said the wolf, laughing, clapping her hands.

Even with him, I didn't expect to leave the Imperial Wisdom Meer like this. It's not funny that the Empire has calmed down like this. Moreover, the wisdom of the Empire is now affecting not only the Empire, but all of the continent.

It's important to keep that momentum down.

“The House of the Blue Moon is a stone's throw away from the central nobility of the Empire. It would be nice to have an ally, but it would be awkward to turn against the enemy. Then, if we involve the central nobles in the rebellion, the wisdom of the Empire will be reinstated, and this Empire will be immediately drawn into chaos... then...."

"... the first Emperor's plan... the plan to dye the fertile crescent moon with tears is set in motion again"

Gerta says in a low, quiet voice.

Yes... the ruinous plan that lasted from the time of the First Emperor has not yet been completely avoided.

The Empire's food self-sufficiency is not yet high, and with a bit of chaos, famine can easily occur.

I see... it doesn't seem like a bad solution at first glance...

- Stubbornness to the old ways. It was an old serpent of the Empire. I was wondering if the first Emperor could be free from my thoughts.

The wolf calmly praises the plan.

Anyway... that's not funny when Meer and Saffias hold hands. At least the relationship between the Four Dukes and Princess Meir was convincing to the wolves.

”But something unexpected happened here...”

For the first time, Gerta looked uncomfortable in a smoky wolf tone that made a fool of herself. Gerta said as she gnashed her teeth.

"...... I really didn't have any problem with being quiet and hiding my breath. I just got a look at the Clausius house, and there's nothing there. So even if we were at Marquis Schubert's house, we shouldn't have any problems.”

The Empire's wisdom is to kidnap Retizia when Princess Meir is in the Imperial City. The timing is supposed to be when she's out of the country.

When I heard that the House of Clausius was being investigated by the hands of Meer, the Gertas were in a hurry. Maybe that wisdom will expose us to our past. That's why... I tried to put Retizia's kidnapping plan into action.

At the tip of the arrow, this is the cooking party.

"I don't know where it leaked from... but Princess Meir found out about Lady Retizia's kidnapping plan..."

It was obviously unnatural to hold a cooking party at this time. After all, the news came as soon as I planned the kidnapping.

It is very likely that Princess Meir is aware of our movements.

"No, it's rather too convenient to think that I haven't found out." Isn't that the wisdom of the Empire? "

In response to the words of the wolf, Gerta tongued abhorrently.

"So, actually, what are you going to do?" I don't think you're going to kidnap Lady Retizia yet. "

"... you won't succeed..." If the kidnapping was successful, no one would think that the rebellion was the work of Safias Etwa Blue Moon. ”

The wolf nodded to Gerta, who shook his head tinyly.

"Yes, the kidnapping plan will fail." Well then... how about getting another one? "

Having said that, the wolf placed the two vials it had taken out of its pocket on the desk.

"Is that...?"

"Speaking of cooking parties, isn't it poison..."

"Poison...?"

Gerta looked at the wolf as if she were a fool.

“Around the Empire's wisdom, Princess Meir, is the daughter of that traitorous Yellow Moon. How can I steal your eyes and let the wisdom of the Empire drink it?"

Taking the accusation, the wolf laughs.

"Hahaha, hey, it's easy. You can buy the poison mirror and get out. It's an ancient snake. Take the initiative, everyone. That way, you can poison everyone. That's why, yes, the menu should be simmered or hotpot dishes."

"Stupid... I'm going to drink the poison and put up with it?" Please don't say anything strange about evil sects, such as that you can even withstand poison as long as you have a strong spiritual power and a faithful heart. "

"I'm not going to say that." I just need to take the antidote first. That's all there is to it. "

Having said that, the wolf pointed at one of the vials.

"This is the antidote, this is the poison." If you drink both at the same time, the effect of the poison will not be shown. It's an old-fashioned hand, but isn't it persuasive? After that, it depends on your acting ability.... "

The assassin, who had his eyes tattooed on his forehead as he watched the exchange between the two, was sighing nonsense.
