"… that about three years ago, an extermination battle took place at the base of trafficking in human beings.... Do you remember?
"Ahhhhh."
Arthur raised his voice to a memory so unexpected that his throat screamed.
I screamed at the impossible volume, so I coughed up my throat terribly shortly afterwards. Gilbert moaned his back with the knights as he returned "I'm sure of it".
The annihilation three years ago. Naturally, it was one of those things that was intense in memory for Jill Bale, Stayle and Arthur. Because he went to help Sefek and Chemeth with the people of his own country who were imprisoned because of his pride's desire.
"At that time, I heard reports from the Knights that there had been several unidentified bombings of the Knights."... I'm pretty sure that was an attack from the Radian Empire, too.
A human trafficking organisation that was trying to open a new market. Hearing the rumors, he tried to take all the commodities from the Kingdom of Friesia before the market opened, but he said it was already after the Knights intervened and finished.
"... that's how their conspiracy ended in failure without ever trying again. Since that year, things have continued to be inconvenient for the Radiyan Empire.
The Kingdom of Friesia strengthened its ties with its allies in the Alliance's Common Policy, and other countries that learned of it also wanted an alliance to join that circle of the Kingdom of Friesia.
Furthermore, Pride and Leon were engaged and dissolved the following year. Since Leon became the first heir to the throne, the kingdom of Anemone has also moved towards the abolition of slavery.
In fact, in recent years the kingdom of Anemone has continued to trade with the Radian Empire but has cut off the purchase of slaves. It was simply a matter of exchanging the trade goods of the kingdom of Anemone with gold, and Leon's arms further strengthened the controls over the back trade.
And aggression and defense against the United Kingdom of Hanazoo.
"According to the chief of staff's statement, he still intended to put both Circus and Chinensis under control from the outset. She also lent various hands to the Kingdom of Copelandi, including the provision of slaves and measures and the loan of Miss Tippet.
That's all I heard. Arthur looked stunned at Steele. Needless to say, I guessed Arthur's doubts. Style moved his mouth "by the way" when he returned it with only his gaze without nodding.
"King Lance's sudden illness.... I was also able to testify that it was the Crown Prince's fault.
Gah, and Arthur hit his head as he fell on the back of the bed.
I didn't hit him hard, but that mouth, which opened gently, spinned without saying "Seriously..." Weakened by the words of the style, he put his hand on his forehead if he could use it and it was dripping.
"And well,... so far, he said, the peaceful interview from the Kingdom of Friesia, which is also a business enemy and a counterpart to the Radian Empire, was a great opportunity.
As a result, he was invited at Tiara's Birthday, a massive ceremony, and disappeared with Tippet's transparency, with Adam applying his special abilities to Pride.
He said it was a run after letting Tippet use his abilities several times in the hall in advance and making sure that no one was aware of the guards at the escort.
And pride is unconscious. It went according to Adam's plan.
"... Originally, he said it was out of calculation for Master Pride to wake up. Because the original aim was to use the mad pride to draw the kingdom of Friesia into the slave industry.
If you want a way to treat your pride, get Tiara and Adam engaged. Or join the slave industry. If you can get engaged to Tiara, you can assassinate Pride later. If they want Tiara back as their next queen, now is the time to redeem the slave industry. Alternatively, you can use Tiara to manipulate the Kingdom of Friesia as you wish from behind.
Either way, Adam's aim was to take Pride, the first heir to the throne, hostage and corrupt the Kingdom of Friesia into a slave-producing country.
After talking that far, Jilbel feels strange cold and stops talking. Seeing, Arthur's pale eyes were burning bright red with anger. Black hegemony was unleashed to recall from the style as well as to echo. It was even the same from the knights who were listening with Arthur. In their hegemony, Gilbert remembered that when he first heard this with the Knights, all the knights on the spot, including himself as well as Roderick, had revealed their anger. Naturally, my anger is on the verge of reheating as I speak too, but now I think I should prioritize explanations and keep talking.
"But Master Pride woke up because of the" qualities "of what the Crown Prince said.... as a" lunatic ", not an abolitionist.
What exactly is qualities? Nor had the Chief of Staff ever been briefed on that by Adam.
However, the change in the madman varied from person to person, and the leopard change in pride was a delightful miscalculation for Adam.
"And the Crown Prince's purpose has changed to the Kingdom of Friesia and Dear Pride. He decided to invade our country as soon as he left the Kingdom of Friesia and came back to our country after urging him to prepare.
And in exchange for how to treat Pride, get engaged to Pride. Or wanted a close interaction with Pride until ten days after the Radian Empire came to invade.
If you decide to get engaged to Pride, now you just have to assassinate Tiara. There will no longer be a replacement for the heir to the throne, who, with pride, will rule the kingdom of Friesia as a nation.
And if we work with Pride, the first princess of the kingdom of Friesia for ten days, even if the engagement is not allowed, we will surely succeed in the invasion.
"Originally, he said he intended to assassinate the top tier if Lord Pride was returned to Wangju. But the work of Lord Arthur did not make it possible either, and it drove me insane to take His Majesty hostages. I,... well, you were lucky.
Is it because he is not royal, and Jilbell grinned thinly with a distant eye, gently mopping his arms. I'm the one who turned Adam back once, but I have an idea for other reasons. "But," Arthur opened his mouth, swimming as he sighed without saying a word about the style or anything, making it difficult to breathe on the wave of information.
"Because of how much it drove me insane. Yes... there's no guarantee anywhere that Lord Pride will cooperate with Adam"
"Looks like there was.
Arthur was stunned by the words of Gilbert, who dared speak overlapping along the way.
Deeply chop wrinkles between eyebrows as the style recalls, eating and tying teeth. Gilli... and the sound reaches everyone's ears dull due to eating too hard and tying too hard. Arthur, listening to it, pointed his pale eyes at Jilbert, who had lost his eyelid.
"The Crown Prince seemed confident that at the time Lord Pride turned into a madman, he would be on his side. Neither did the Chief of Staff seem to have revealed everything regarding his special abilities......
Jill Baer himself, last checked that.
'It is about the prince's special abilities, but is it possible to literally manipulate those who have turned him into a madman'.
The answer was "I don't know".
In the past, even the chief of staff alone knew, some had become like puppets, others had gone mad and died in a matter of days, refusing direct orders even if Adam had done as he wished with little or no deviation. Not all who have turned into lunatics go crazy just like them.
"Originally, we could have expected Lord Pride to be his collaborator from the time the Crown Prince's plans were exposed.
Style snorts at the word as well.
Everyone at the top hoped otherwise, and as a result it was centered in the worst possible way. That's why the highest echelons, including Rosa, the queen, were also being pushed to make brutal decisions.
"This is my guess," Jilbert explained that far, cutting the words. Arthur and, and I also look at the style in turn, then open my mouth with a quiet voice color.
"... the Crown Prince wondered if he could also manipulate something like" direction "where the person goes mad.
direction? And Steele listened back before Arthur, who was speechless. And Jill Baer nodded and went on to say more.
"Of course, acting out of the ordinary track will be something to do with madness. But the Crown Prince originally intended to make Lord Pride an abolitionist. Its purpose is to make our country fall under the control of a slave-producing country, or the Radiya Empire.... Suppose the Crown Prince's wishes were reflected in the madness inflicted on Lord Pride as it were.
Here we go, and something creepy glanced over their backs.
He caught his breath, his shoulders stretched and his mouth drastically dried. It was also clear to both eyes that Jilbel's light water eyes held slight anger. A number of words come up on the head of the style when pride strikes the top tier.
'It's decided. To make me queen?
'I'm just going to get to know the Radiya Empire better. The wealth of the country is better than ever.'
All, if Adam had already been madly dyed by the color he wanted.
One word or deed of pride that seemed unintelligible was dissolved.
If you honk your throats as if they had fallen to your hearts, at the same time, Jilbert goes on to say more. "And" he lowered his voice, and that voice, which strained clearly, beat the hearts of the two of them just saying that it was the real deal from here on out.
"Master Pride, we are resisting. Probably unconscious. In order not to fulfill the Crown Prince's wishes, that one constantly desires the ruin of self....... Otherwise there are too many contradictory actions.
"If... we... to the damned queen... if... you... kill me..."
"Cut off this head first, when I judge him to be the enemy of the people of this land."
Style and Arthur's head were resurrected with words he had thought through many times before.
We both know full well that Pride has wanted his own ruin for years. And I also understood so much that Pride was such a person that I didn't like it.
Gilbert opens his mouth to line up a number of questions for the two of us who are so relieved that he also forgets to breathe. I'm not convinced that Adam was simply as insane as he wanted, what Pride has said and done so far.
"He is only aware of his desire for ruin.
Sometimes I didn't just stick a blade at myself, I behaved like I was buying an unhappiness over and over again. Even exposed it before Rosa, the queen, and Albert, the king's mate. If what you say or do is "make your enemies" and "punish yourself" just to make your position look pointless.
"Before, I pointed out to you that you would take actions that would jeopardize your position in the tower of separation... Master Pride said.
"Half right and half hazy. It's not just to break my position, is it?
"And if I poke there again shortly after the revolt with the Crown Prince, Lord Pride still said.
Style remembers the other day vividly in the words of Jill Bale, who continues to speak. their interaction when Jill Bale broke his knee to Pride and Adam.
"In order to fulfill Lord Pride's wishes, I thought you might want to put me in your nostalgia."
'Oh yeah, you are... what you know about me and Chan...?
Style now understands what Jill Bale was saying at the time.
"Why didn't you say it sooner," he also wanted to ask, but swallowed it before. What would have happened if Zilbert had told me that at the time I had lost my place to save my pride and lost my subordinate contract? I could easily imagine that.
Blood draws from Arthur's face to Jill Bale's story. Horribly again, the words of pride seven years ago are repeated over and over in my head.
"Master Pride is an excellent man. You know your qualities and abilities as a princess. But... Master Pride since he was possessed by madness has too many holes in both his actions and his rebel plans.
The next thing I know about that word, blood draws from the face of Stile.
You were right, if you ask me. Until now I have been frustrated by subordinate contracts and can't afford to think, but in retrospect with a normal head, the current revolt is too dodgy. If you really want to erase the Rebellion Factor, you can either do the same or kill Steel and Jilbale as the top level instead of preventing special abilities. All you have to do is properly kick the Knights out of the country on pointless assignments. If you intend to sell your country to the Radiyan Empire, you can make a contract without waiting for soldiers or anything else. But Pride does nothing at all. If you don't do official business, you don't take such countermeasures. Further from Arthur, I think it would be odd to leave the brains of Stile and Jill Bale alone for a pride that we both know excellence.
Plus, we're overstepping our plans. Instead of showing their superiority, they reveal too much in their hands. From the beginning, he exposed everyone without his own malice, and his actions were too cluttered to proceed with force pushing, as if he were saying, "It's good to lose."
... No. Pride wants to lose...
If you think about it that way, you're convinced.
Modifying his own thoughts, Stayle breathed up thinly, shaking his throat. "That one is moving to fail the rebellion," Jilbert said in his voice as he nodded at the change in the look on Style's face.
own defeat and ruin. It was Adam's plan to defeat and destroy his country as he moved to corrupt it. Arthur's vision darkened if Jilbert put that into words. Right now, the Knights are moving under the water exactly as Pride planned, to intercept the incoming Radiya. If I hadn't heard the truth from Adam or the Chief of Staff, I would have ended up defeating Pride as it were. And that's what Pride wants and wants.
There's no way I can stop you. Because if the Knights and Pride want it, there's only one result to follow.
Know the truth, until then.
"We need to be very careful to save Master Pride. He's probably going to die.
I wished unconsciously. I am trying to reason and consciously break it off so that I can be convinced of it.
Pride is now only justified in his actions to "corrupt and kill the kingdom of Friesia". If Jilbel affirmed that, everyone on the spot would have throated.
"I was wondering if it's odd that since the rebellion, I can't ask only about Dear Tiara until now. It's as if they're refusing to engage themselves.
Of course, I thought about your excuse when you asked.
"Sure..." Arthur thought as he listened to Jill Bale. I've heard that Tiara is evacuated out of the country, but I haven't heard that Pride is looking for Tiara. If pride is really aimed at corrupting the kingdom of Friesia, then there is no reason not to erase Tiara, the second heir to the throne. On the contrary, it's only uncomfortable not even asking Style or Jill Bale where he is.
Lie face down to face like you remember the style too. If Pride was unconsciously thinking about his death "and then".
"Of course, it's just my question and guess," Jilbert said, turning down, "but is the pride that loved Tiara now turning down Tiara or trying to protect her unconsciously? Or for another reason, there is no certainty at this stage.
"I intend to share all this speculation with the Knights Commander later.... Anyway, now only capturing the Crown Prince is a must to regain Lord Pride.
It's the only way to regain pride, Adam. There's nothing we can do unless we capture him.
Orders also notified to the Knights are Adam and Pride's Live Catchers. And that not a single one of us will let the dead out on our side. But now Jill Bale's story shows that Pride has a great chance of even dying alone.
"The madness of the Crown Prince and the transparency of Miss Tippett are troublesome, but they are not opponents that according to the hands of the Knights cannot be captured either. And it should be possible to rescue Rosa and the others.
"Tomorrow, as soon as the evacuation of the people is complete, I will attempt to capture your sisters with the Knights led by me and the Knights Commander. The Royal Palace can also be broken in with me as long as there are special abilities for transparency and temperature sensing of the Ninth Squad.
Style deflects attention while talking to Pride, and if Adam and the others are able to capture everyone by the time he realizes, the only problem left will be the invading Radiya Empire.
Explaining so, the two of them say it's time to go back and lift their hips out of their chairs. Especially since Stayle has to be back in his room by dawn. Tomorrow was the rescue at the top, and it was time for Style to connect his words.
"... you know,... one more thing good...?
As I recall, Arthur raises his plundered voice.
At the same time as Gilbert returned the words, Style turned his attention to Arthur. I waited for his word, just a little anxious not to say that I wanted to come this far and join tomorrow's clandestine battle, etc.
"... in the end, why is Adam, a man of the kingdom of Friesia, to the Crown Prince...? That's what the Chief of Staff would know then...
To Arthur's questioning, Jill Bale and Style looked at each other.
At the moment, I don't even know if I should dare to teach more humans than I need to. However, I also thought that there would be no problem talking if I were Arthur, who would not be able to get out on the battlefield, and eventually Jill Bale also opened his mouth with Stile nodding. Answer his question with a voice that makes him lurk after making a prior stop to Arthur, including a knight who refrains behind his back.
"Adam Borneo Nepentes is...... an adopted son.
Knocking, Arthur nods.
That much I can tell myself. Because having special abilities definitely means Adam drew the blood of the kingdom of Friesia and was even born in this country. But the next word wasn't even predictable to Arthur.
"Thirteen years ago, Emperor Alf, the current emperor," bought a former slave.... I mean, I'm a victim of human trafficking.
is………………….
Arthur was silent and voiceless before the urge to scream.
I couldn't help but hurt my throat, but I doubted my ears instead. As Jill Baer continued, "And Miss Tippett is also one of the slaves the Crown Prince later" bought. Side chambers were also a pseudonym for breaking into our country, "he said, and understanding would finally stop.
Ex-slaves. Why were people in such a position adopted? Above all, why draw on the Radian Empire and target Freesia while being a victim of human trafficking yourself?
Stile opens his mouth while only thought is so complex. "That is," he sums up the facts in one word, turning his pitch-black eyes straight to Arthur.
"A people our country could not save. That is who the enemy should be defeated.
Something creepy crawls around Arthur, the knight's body.
I can't help but feel something close to nausea and that Adam, who is going to be relative, is "not a person".
As if the phenomenon itself, the Kingdom of Friesia and the Radian Empire, the darkness between the two sides itself, are under attack.
Sharpen your nails, with hatred and madness.
"That's why we have to put an end to this in our country.
The voice through the core of the style was released without any fixing to anyone.
Pride, Country and Top Level. That's not all, the inevitable battle as the kingdom of Friesia opens the curtain.
Both Jilbel and Arthur nodded strongly at Style's words.
"First the people complete the evacuation. Until then, if your sisters do not distract you, the Royal Palace can also be controlled by the Knights. With any luck, Tippett, the captivity of your sister and Adams and the rescue of your mothers could come true at the same time.
You're right, and both knights nodded at Jilbel, who hammered him. They, too, have already received instructions for each squad only for operational instructions.
"If Tippet gets away with it, we just need to rescue our mothers as a first priority. And with the help of the Knights, it should be possible to capture at least Adam and his sister.
Arthur was relieved if he could go on because the Ninth Squad, which has transparent special abilities and temperature-sensitive special abilities, moves. Then there's no problem with Tippett disappearing from the pride and trying to get away with it all. Because if you have a temperature-sensitive special ability, you can't see him or her or anything. Only the impending Radiyan Imperial Army will remain. Take back the hostages, too, and nothing to fear as long as Adam and Tippett are captured.
"I'm going down under the castle with the knights, too. I will leave it to you, because I will necessarily complete the evacuation of all the people.
We will contact you by correspondent as soon as it is complete. and if Jilbell put his hand against his chest and laughed, both Stayle and Arthur lost their strength from his shoulders.
That was certainly all the persuasion in Jilbel's "I'll take care of it". And finally, Style takes a straight peek into Arthur's pale eyes and declares: I swear I'll get his right arm for what it's worth. For that.
"Tomorrow, we take everything back.
Now that we know the truth about those to defend and with the help of the Knights. They have nothing to fear.
To Style's words, Arthur laughed small. Now both arms still won't even be able to slap each other in the hand, but that laugh alone conveyed everything to Steele and Jill Bale.
Now it's time for them to rise out of their chairs. Jilbell goes under the castle with the Knights, and Stayle returns to his room before the prides notice him, and he has to dance as he always does. "Please," they nodded unhesitatingly at Arthur's last words. But...
They still didn't understand it in a real way.
Identify the enemy you are trying to confront.
who the First Princess is desperately trying to rescue.
That the real enemy to fear is not the Radian Empire.
of Las Bosses named Pride Royal Ivy.
That, the real price.
