The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Prince Ganian surrendered to the army of the Riviera, that is, to King Passe.

I reported it to King Passe in the air fleet.

Well, you did well.

Through the magic communication, I received the words of labor directly from King Passé.

As a condition of surrender, I clearly told the nobles and dignitaries who had joined the treason, and their families, that they would not be executed for punishment, and that they would be handcrafted in exile, and received the king's approval.

From the ship, as the representative of the Kingdom of the Rivière, General Asier, a loyal servant of King Passé, came to confirm his surrender.

In the meantime, each unit on the rebel side will be ready to disarm.

"... so, Shuka Malaha-sama"

I told him that the officers of the Empire had sprung water for me in the bargaining room.

"There are three choices for you, the Great Empire." Surrender and become a prisoner of war, or leave the country immediately. We must fight hard and destroy them all. "

……

Malaha is silent. You must be desperate to see what's best for you.

The Empire has few stationed forces, and its reliant Magic Machine Corps can be quickly defeated by the Sixth Combat Group sent by the Willidis Army to the Royal Army outside the capital.

"Ah, yes, I forgot to mention one thing, but the MMB-5-monster maker you brought into the castle is secured here, so if you die, you can't blow yourself up anymore."

"What, what!?"

Malaha's eyes peeled. That's right. The last trump card revealed the hand I was hiding. I can't mislead the Shapeshifter Intelligence Department.

More than that...

"Oh my God! You brought the MMB-5 to the capital!?"

Grandpa Forêt screamed angrily. Yes, this was a secret for the rebels.

This monster maker was used in the battle where Prince Ganian's brother died, but it seems that the rebels and the Emperor's garrison were discussing that this weapon, which was ravaged from base to base, should not be used in the city. If there was an accident, the king's capital would not be enough, so we were promised not to bring it to the king's capital.... I mean, Malaha was breaking that promise.

Now the relationship between the rebels and the Empire is completely broken.

Malaha-kun, if you want to leave the country, can I send you to my airship, the Western Military Command, or your home country?

I spread out a map of the continent on my desk. Prince Ganian, who was watching, stared at the map with interest. My map is elaborate.

"Malaha, where was your parents' home? The Empire is now divided into four factions. A military unit centered around the Army of the Army Marshal of Ceart. An aristocratic army centered on the nobility. Parliamentary forces centered on the lower nobles of the Great Imperial Congress. It's a navy that keeps itself neutral without disturbing the civil unrest."

Where is the advantage, Lord Tokitomo?

I asked if Grandpa Foré was interested.

“The Navy is taking a non-interference position, so if we exclude them, the biggest force would be the Army Marshal Celtic force.”

“Why is the Navy non-interference?”

"There may be a reason why the Anorj Navy Secretary doesn't want to get involved in politics from the beginning, but the biggest reason is probably because he's being chased by the vampire empire."

It points to the appearance of the Stigme Empire's armies across the continent. In time, Malaha also looked down at the map about the seats.

said Grandpa Foret.

I'm very familiar with you, Lord Tokitomo.

"Well, I'm always on the front lines." The Great Empire is dangerous, but the Vampire Empire is even more threatening. After all, they're moving in the extremes of extinction or slavery. "

When I was discussing the world situation with, it was reported that General Asier and other envoys had arrived. Prince Ganian has ordered us to pass through this Chamber.

"Now, Malaha. I'm going to go through the surrender process, but what are you going to do?"

Prisoner or evacuate.

"Shall we join the Western troops?"

Malaha, with a bitter face, fell down.

"If you go back to the mainland, you will be punished for fleeing in front of the enemy.... if you surrender, you won't be able to protect yourself."

Prince Ganian and Grandpa Fore saw me. Why are you looking at me there? Oh, I see. The Princes will surrender to the Royal Army here, so I'm in a position to give my opinion on the treatment of the Empire.

"If you surrender quietly, I'll escalate you so that you don't act badly."... I'm glad I didn't have to use a monster maker. "

If I had used it, I would have killed myself, but my men would have felt sorry for me.

Eventually, General Asier appeared. The battle-scarred general who could be used for King Passé gave me an indescribable expression at first glance, but I didn't see it.... I'm sorry, the strangers have settled this.

The procedure proceeded, and the terms of surrender were formal surrender after confirming the life assurances of the nobles and knights given to the rebels.

Soldiers of the Royal Army enter the capital. Strictly speaking, the majestic knights walked like a parade to the royal castle, watching the residents of the royal capital.

The Rivière Fleet has fallen into the sky, and the Great Imperialists did not resist.

From the royal castle tower, I watched Prince Ganian and the situation. Right now, the only one left with the prince was Grandpa Foré.

"I may not even be able to see this sight."

Prince Ganian looked like his shoulder had fallen.

"Worried about the country, wanted to change the future of this kingdom. When that empire was about to swallow the West, I didn't know why my father and brother were at peace."

With an overwhelmingly armored empire swallowing up Western nations, Prince Ganian thought that the Riviera could not stand alone. We will continue to follow the fate of the countries that have already been occupied.... so I tried to protect this country by working with the Empire on my own.

"But when I opened the lid, my fathers were right. No, I wouldn't have done this if I had known of Sheepskin."

Days of reading and studying magic - the prince narrowed his eyes.

"Uncle Foret, thank you for everything."

"Your Highness..."

Ancient Ginseng's men, who had been able to use it since Prince Ganian's childhood, lowered their heads deeply. The prince gave him a gentle look.

"Well, I told you first, didn't I? I'm not a king."

I feel like my eyes have become more gentle, like a possession has fallen. Perhaps the pressure of royalty has been lifted and something has come to light.

I'll keep an eye on those princes.

If I had known Sea Pang, would I? If I hadn't come to the Kingdom of Verrillard, Prince Ganian would probably have been right. Western countries would have easily perished, been subjugated, and, like other colonies, would have suffered from over-exploitation and domination.

Speaking of allies, in the end we will have to follow the pressure of the Empire, but the royalty will remain and we will have less control. If you consider the people to be less suffering, you may as well take the initiative to obey the Empire.

Of course, this kind of attitude changes with the attitude of the ruler, and there is absolutely no such thing.

To think about it, it's ironic.

It is better to win. My presence has completely changed the future of the king and the prince.

However, the possibility remains that Prince Ganian would have been right if the Empire had not been overthrown.
