The Royal Army Second Expeditionary Corps, led by Early, who defeated the Oak Army, headed for the underground city dungeon, as originally intended.

The giant worm on the sand plain naturally doesn't show up because we eliminated it, reaching the dungeon without any obstacles. Even in that underground city, the control was smooth to the extent that there were a dozen warcraft, goblins and oaks that came in while I was away because it was after me and Mr. Bell had cleaned in advance.

Control stone towns, abandoned castles, oak army mining sites, etc., and collect a little loot. The expedition then embarked on a return journey to the King's Capital.

The returning expedition received an enthusiastic welcome from the residents of Wang Du. This would also have less impact on asking Mr. Vaude and other adventurers back on the portal, Mr. Lassia of the Alliance, to hustle and bust the spectacular victory of the expedition.

Prince Early and the brave soldiers destroy the Orcs. The king's capital boiled down on the return of the heroes, greatly disappointing King Eman, who had hoped for the prince's death. But in front of Early, who had won the victory, I had to say a compliment aside from my heart.

In the royal castle, me and Mr. Bell watched as Early reported to his father. I struggled to catch the urge to laugh as I peeked into the king's indescribably complex expression. Various things, are.

Exactly at the Royal Castle, I thought I wouldn't be able to get my hands on Early, but should I say, Early was able to safely return to the Blue Lion dorm at the School of Magic Knights.

... Yes, the knights and soldiers who participated in the expedition drank a great deal at the celebration with Early's participation and went on a treat. It's the promised reward.

I arranged it in the back and the bill came to me and they were going to take the money... well, the money could have been built by disposing of a little of the massive loot I got in Wangdu Defense.... a few more times, I'm gonna throw this hand banquet on my stomach, haha!

Incidentally, the soldiers were paid service allowances by the military. It's called a war bonus. That service charge, but I got it, too.

Because Early decided to hire a participating adventurer to treat him like a mercenary. Compared to the cost of the banquet, it was a tiny one, but it's true that Early was happy with the favor he arranged. I'm unexpectedly choking too...

Well, that solves all the problems of underground city dungeon entanglement. I guess I can finally get back to relaxing days because I've been busy lately with enchanted dragon exorcisms and the destruction of oak troops.

Well, it's not like I have nothing to do at all.

Because I had to get ready for Early's future.

First of all, we needed to rein in King Emman--

In the king's private room in the royal castle, the man appeared.

Putting together a pitch-black robe, wearing a hood, but with plenty of peeking at a certain mustache, it is the earlier king of Verrillardo, Pyrenio Verrillardo, who is sometimes clumsy with his hands.

Eman, now king, pinches his desk and relative to his late father, Pyrenio, his ghost.

"Don't get your hands on me,...?

"Exactly."

Lord Pyrenio nodded heavily.

"Be still for a while, my son."

"But, Father"

King Eman frowned.

"We don't have much time. We haven't had six months for Early to graduate from the School of Magic Knights. If you graduate from school, the Horsemen will make more noise about your engagement to the Prince. If we can put our daughter on Early, the aristocrats will be watching for opportunities when ties to the royal family become stronger."

"I don't even need to be told. The king's blood muscles and his successors are no other personnel for the nobles"

I don't need you to tell me exactly. Without needing to be pointed out to King Eman, it is common sense if he is king. It's a theory to Buddha.

"But, my son. Early will not be king."

"And when I say...?

Something's up - King Eman turns his hopeful eye.

"I don't want to be king."

"I observed Early crushing, but I was more worried about the future than you should be. And of course, if he commands you to be king, he will obey, but if he commands you to let go of your right to inherit the throne, he will still obey."

"... it would be easier if I just ordered it"

"Oh, it's hard to explain to the Hordes why it's enough to make Early waive his inheritance rights"

If Lord Pyrenio narrows his eagle-like eyes, King Eman nods too.

"Even if you let go of your inheritance rights, it's most difficult to be explored for the fact that you were hiding your gender. No matter how much reason you give, it's over when you're in doubt. The easiest thing to do is disappear, or take your life, and just finish your burial..."

If the whole thing is eaten by the Warcraft, you won't have to leave a body - but when King Eman spoke, just as King Pyrenio gave an uncomfortable look.

"Let Early let go of her inheritance rights, but do it by means that convince everyone around her. I have a secret for that."

Without killing her, there's a secret to letting Jarzy, second in inheritance, inherit the throne.

"What kind of measures?

"Let them know in public that Early is a 'woman'. As a rule of royal inheritance, the status quo woman cannot be king. That's why if you see it, no one can complain"

"Father!? It's..."

Gatan, and King Eman, who takes his seat and hands on his desk. Lord Pyrenio raised one hand and took control.

"Well, listen to me till the end. Nothing, I'm not releasing that Early has been a woman since she was born. In public, if the prince is' made a woman '... how about it?

"I've been made a woman...?

When King Eman lowered his back to his seat, he took the trick of thinking.

"I mean... depressing the play, Father?

"My Lord Left, a prince is turned into a woman by magic in front of everyone. If you witness that happening, no one will think you were a woman from the beginning."

"I see... it's a name, Father. But..."

wrinkled between his eyebrows, King Eman said.

"Does it exist, such as magic that changes people's gender...?

"Oh, my son. It doesn't matter if there's such a way."

You still don't get it, said Father Pyrenio, who turns a blind eye.

"There are mountains of things in the world that still cannot be figured out. There is no one who manipulates everything, and not everyone in the world has seen all the magic. It's not strange that strange magic has appeared. … yes, a wizard of sorts is a magic to use."

"I don't know, wizard...?

"I'm just picking that wizard role right now." Using the magic of turning our prince into a woman, a bad wizard. "

Lord Pyrenio became the face of plotting evil.

"I, Foley Mantle - I think he deserves this role, what do you think?

Foley Mantur. The root of all the evils that inspired King Eman to deceive and falsify Early's gender. When I heard the name and at the same time considered it in conjunction with the plans of my predecessor, I had my first grin on King Eman's face.

"I see. So you take responsibility for him, Father."

"Oh, let us deceive and atone for the sins that have plagued us so far"

"But, Father. We don't know where he is, and more importantly, we're not sure he's alive."

"There's no need to live anything else. It's more convenient to be dead. But there's a chance he's alive in case. We need to find out what's going on with him now.... Well, let's leave that to this one. I've already hit my hand."

I understand, Father.

King Eman took the lead.

"So as for Early, the status quo, in the form of static observation, is that okay?

"Oh, right.... Rather, it's Eman. Be nice to that girl. Good. Play my father. Look around you and behave as you would expect. Then, after this plot goes well, no one will show up to look poorly at it -"
