The Grand Prince Has Run Away

Reversal opinion has been widespread in the western part of the kingdom, starting with the territory of the Duke of Teia.

This reverse opinion, which began with the people, spread rapidly to soldiers and knights who would go into battle over time, and eventually came to a situation where there was a great commotion on all sides.

The central government ordered the Western aristocrats to investigate, but it did not do much good.

The Western aristocrats who have to stop the riots are moving behind this incident.

They only asked to refrain from pretending to listen to the central government's orders, but they didn't take any action.

Then the reverse public opinion that had been working in the western province continued to spread to the east where the capital was.

With the fact that the war stemmed from the Central Church's demand, some other factions began to protest.

It was a time when the cause was ripe as Bayar.

But I didn't move too fast.

The central force is waiting to move to silence the reverse public opinion. Then a definite reason will be created.

People who cry out that they don't want war.

Western aristocrats stopped the central government's forces to defend the central government and its people.

This leaves the central government responsible for all future civil wars, and Western nobles become conscious nobles practicing the true state of Nobles Oblige.

And the western provinces will have a civil war with the civilians as a group.

I did.

I was about to stop the war on Caligo.

But it's not that there is no war.

‘Well, the flower of war is a civil war, no matter what anyone says. It's a war of betrayal and betrayal. ’

At that time, the Yosrahim empire faced the North Lumenox and the Metheria rivers connected to the Caligo Kingdom, and massive supplies of war were piling up in its warehouses in the ports.

They were the supplies of war for the nobles of western Caligo at the start of the civil war.

Of course, these supplies will raise suspicion in the Central Church and other countries, but it doesn't matter.

I have reason to support the western part of the Caligo Kingdom.

It is human consideration that I could not shed the tears of my people in the past.

The problem was that there were only so many supplies to be cared for, but I was originally set to be a man with big hands without an economic concept.

Honestly, what would they say if I applied for a small favor?

However, it was enough to send a large amount of support, saying that I would show you the real support.

“Come on, let's go. ”

Early morning.

The group and I head out of the palace of the Duke of Teia to somewhere.

Today was the day I promised to go to the Recruitment Hall.

To bring Shura into the civil war I have planned, we must first enlist her in the Western Region.

“This war will bring nothing but meaningless sacrifice. Wake up, citizens! Everyone stand up and face the war! ”

There was an uprising everywhere they headed towards the recruitment center.

The peaceful atmosphere created by the citizens marching in the streets with their horses and banners, and the security forces that were just watching them, was enough to question Alieta.

Alieta tilts her head.

“The western part of the Kingdom of Caligo is high in people's political participation. Local governments are tolerating it. ”

“Not all of them. Only this way. ”

“Why?”

“People are from the Karl Kingdom in the western part of the Caligo Kingdom. That's the nature of the people from the Kingdom. If that's an understandable argument, I'm more open to it. In other words, ethnicity. ”

Nationality. How convenient.

Obviously, there is no rationale or logic, but it is very persuasive.

“Is that so?"

“Yes. That's why I don't stop citizens from participating in politics. ”

“I don't think so. ”

Alita shakes her head calmly, reassuring enough.

I push beyond the dimensions that do not discourage citizens from participating in politics.

If you are competent and social, you are willing to be noble, even if you are a lowly slave.

That's why Kara has been making great progress lately.

No matter how precious a person is without ability.No matter how weak a person is with abilities, he will be exalted.

I slowly looked at Shura.

“Shura. The citizens are against it. Do I really have to go to war?" ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Shura avoids gazing without saying a word.

I thought I was going to join the war.

But I smiled small but very gratifying.

Shrinney is the one who insisted on going to war, and Shrinney is responsible for what happens next.

Perhaps that responsibility will lead Shura into an unexpected war.

And after that chaos, you will be the Amor Prince born between us.

‘Amor, you are blessed. I met my father and became a prince. Well, my Charles met his father and became a prince. ’

Life, of course, decides everything by accident.

So are Charles and Amordo. They were only born, but my father accidentally made me a prince or reserved for the roar of all.

But you don't have to blame your parents for being born low.

My current status is purely what I have emptied my bare hands with.

There is a natural room created by chance in the world, but there is an acquired room created by his ability.

Of course, there are clear moral and social institutions in the world that prevent the natural room, but there are no excuses now.

Kara Kingdom welcomes people with abilities whenever they try.

And at the end of the long Purge, so will the Yosrahim Empire.

Yes, it is.

My Purge is my care to break down the social system that prevents capable people and to make room for them.

There is only cruel Purge to bring down an oil-filled group of privileged people under the protection of social institutions.

No one will be able to put down their rights in words.

“Almost there. Okay, let's go inside. ”

There was an uprising outside, but the recruitment center was busy as expected.

Although the nobles of the western region are promoting protests, it didn't mean they didn't need soldiers.

The nobles of the western region were preparing for civil war on my orders.

After not being a fool, I couldn't help but be lazy about the recruitment because I was swept by the reverse opinion I made myself.

And I needed a reason to follow the orders of the central government anyway.

The escort knight who was leading us first approached a U.S. bureaucrat and spoke to him.

“The people behind us are White Face and Lady Shura. Now that you've decided to join the war and are here, take care of your business quickly. ”

“Oh, really? I understand.”

The Unsullied official took out the recruitment documents as if they were prepared.

As I approached the document, I smiled satisfactorily.

The army to serve was nothing but the Marquis of Teia.

Now we will be part of the Earl of Teia and we will participate in this war.

I don't know what war is, of course.

I presented the documents to Shura with a handsome face.

“Shura. She belongs to the Marquis of Teia, not the Imperial Army. Are you okay with that? ”

“It doesn't matter.”

It was Shra who took the documents and stamped them.

So I and Alietado stamped the paperwork and handed it over to the Recruitment Hall official.

“Here it is. ”

“Yes, you will have no regrets. ”

After a brief application for recruitment, we went out again.

I had a slight remorse for deceiving Shura, but it was for Shura and Amor, and it was also for my people and the whole human race.

And honestly, it wasn't a lie to feel guilty about it.

A lie is not a lie for everyone.

* * *

One day, Western aristocrats flocked to Teia.

Though I've heard the rationale for a meeting to prepare a countermeasure for the recent reversal, it was actually a conspiracy.

The group gathered in the secret meeting room, expressing their opinions to everyone with a nervous face.

“Earl Teia. Is the Central Army going to make a move? ”

Earl Teia nods, seated at the table.

“I'm sure you will. This is where the flip polls spread like wildfire, and if we continue to be aesthetics, we will definitely come. ”

“Please, you have to do that. If they come, we can start a civil war with a big cause. ”

“Don't worry. It's only a matter of time before the central army arrives. ”

A young nobleman raises his concerns.

He was Earl Raven, ruler of the Raven region.

“But if the central army doesn't get reinforcements from the empire, we're done. because we can't take on the Central Force alone. ”

“Don't worry. Support is definitely coming. The Grand Duke made a pact. ”

“But it's only a treaty, isn't it? The risk of believing in that promise alone is too great. ”

“Believe me, that promise is already being kept. There are currently war supplies being built throughout the Yosrahim Empire, and I have a large fleet of ships waiting for me at every port on the river. ”

“But we didn't confirm it ourselves, so we're not sure. ”

Earl Teia raises one jaw at a time.

“That's why I'm taking you to my castle today. to show my conviction. ”

“Sure of what?”

Earl Teia shouts politely towards the obscurity unfolding on one side of the meeting room.

“Grand Duke, come out now. ”

As I walked out of the veil, everyone looked puzzled.

He didn't know who I was yet.

But not as noble as one.

It was Marrison.

“Great, Grand Duke? ”

I looked at Marrison Birch with a frightened face.

“Hey, do you know me? ”

The bird approaches me and falls facedown.

“When I came to the Yosrahim Empire with a congratulatory mission, I saw you from afar. ”

“Really? Let's go say hello, then. I can't ignore the blood of the same Karl. ”

Bird of Merrison yells at everyone.

“What are you guys doing without showing any respect? This is Karl's Grand Duke speaking. ”

The Western nobles, with their eyes wide open, rushed to me, kneeling before me and paying their respects.

“May I present His Royal Highness, the Grand Duke of Karl. ”

I waved my hand.

“No more courtesy. Let's just keep meeting. Everybody up.”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I don't like stalling. Come on.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The nobles of the western territory rise together and take their seats.

So I sat down in a soft spot with Earl Teea and looked at Earl Raven.

“I, too, participate in this civil war as a person. Then you can trust me, right? ”

“Yes.”

Earl Raven bows his head and looks down at Earl Teia with grumbling eyes.

He was angry at the fact that he had hidden it from me.

I looked at the Earl and said,

“I don't care what the Earl says. Honestly, if you judge me coldly, how can you trust me when you don't even know my face? We'll have to doubt it. ”

“Thank you for your understanding. ”

“Now, let's hold the meeting. Earl Teia?"

“Yes.”

“How many men do we have? ”

“Less than 60,000. ”

60,000 is less, but more is more.

“What about the Kaligo Empire Army? ”

“Over 300,000. ”

“That means 150,000 at the most. ”

“Maybe less than 100,000. To be honest, I think there are 100,000 of them. ”

Earl Teia captured less than 100,000 punitive forces coming to the west because the Kaligo Kingdom was preparing for war against the Lumen.

With the Declaration of War, it appears that the Lumen Kingdom has deployed considerable troops at its borders.

Not all troops can be dispatched to the West after the uprising of the Kaligo Kingdom.

The number of Punitive Force was very few.

“Well, the Lumen Kingdom will have its horns, so it won't be worth sending an army to us. ”

“Yes.”

I looked around at the nobles gathered around me and said,

“We will win this war. I can't find a way to lose even if I lose on purpose. ”

Earl Teia smiles joyfully.

“Hahaha, yes, it is. Because when the civil war breaks out, the Kali Dynasty will be the type of country that has to wire both sides. We will surely triumph greatly. ”

“But vigilance is forbidden. Specifically, the strategy to attract insurgents who will subdue the protesters must succeed. I don't even have enough civil war excuses. ”

“Yes, don't worry. ”

Later, I devised a strategy with the nobles of the Western region gathered at the meeting.

At the time of the Civil War, the Western Armed Forces' primary objective was to secure the front lines of the Mio River while protecting the protesters.

The river flows with boundaries between the west and other parts of the Caligo Kingdom.

Using this river to fight the punitive force, it was easy to stop the aggression of the enemy.
