"King Alsia...".”
Laselle's stiff face.
"Let's hear a story. I didn't mean to come all the way here, but I was asked to."
"... ..for sure you heard Francair's voice.”
"Francair? Is that the name of the Guardian of the Raselle Kingdom?”
"Su Ho-sin... ...was once such a revered being. But now he's just my one friend and guardian.”
Now she was under Francair's protection, and that fact had been confirmed in her last dive.
Taylor's sword bounced off her defenselessly.
"Francair had said that day. Climb the tower and meet you.….”
"He asked me to help the king. Well, at a glance, I can see there's something wrong with it, but......... is that inspiration a problem, too?”
"......you're such a coward."
At the sight of Arif calling him an old man without hesitation, she let out her tongue.
"Let's hear what makes you scared."
Her eyes looked nervously around Jae-ho's words.
"Can you really help me?"
"Listen up."
"Well, how can I trust you if you give me such a vague answer?"
"The unfortunate one is the king, not me."
“…….”
It wasn't wrong.
Jae-ho came along the quest to listen to the story, and he didn't have to worry about his relationship with her or the Kingdom of Rasell.
That's to say, or never mind.
If she said she didn't believe it, Jae-ho would have left right away.
"... ...I am Lacellius VII, known externally."
Eventually, Rasel accepted his situation and opened his mouth.
"But Bondi's me......Princess Matilda.”
"Princess? Is it such an obvious story that the old man made of puppets?"
"Princess Araf......is my great-grandfather."
"Uh...... that's a little different."
A relationship that is not easily understood.
"You're not a zombie at all."
It was the least undead for a great-grandfather to still be alive.
If not...….
"......don't tell me?"
Jae-ho suddenly realized.
"Bulloo jangcho?"
"Yes."
Laselle nodded.
"He assassinated the princes of the Lassel family, and then stole the Bullojangsaengcho. Then I've been manipulating the country with the puppet king at the front."
"Then there was a real firework plant.”
"You're also a spirit makeup. I can't believe you recognized a fake at once.….”
Jae-ho has a rough picture.
It was assumed that the exchanges between the tower and the royal family were cut off from the time when Arif robbed the Bullojangsaengcho.
I'm sure the tower, which helped me manage the eternal life, wouldn't have heard the good to hear.
'No, he might already have known.’
There was no way that the old man like a mule could not have known.
It was likely that he did not give information to Jae-ho, the king of other countries, because of the Matap's principle of not intervening in domestic affairs.
"But why didn't you take the throne yourself? Is it because of Francair?"
"Yes, he who is not the blood of the Lasselius family will be cursed by Francher when he comes to the throne. That's why Grand Duke Arif is led by a young great-granddaughter, a line of blood of the royal family."
'It's a pretty adult feeling for a kid.
Jae-ho thought to himself.
"Now that the young princess of the lowest rank, whom no one cares about, has been crowned, this country is as good as being in the clutches of the Grand Duke of Arif."
"Is there no royal family left?”
"As I said earlier, all princes with the right to the throne are dead. And I don't know if any of the other royals are alive."
What the hell did the man named Guardian do while the royals were dying?
"Princess Araf seems to have something to neutralize Francair's defense. Maybe I'll get killed easily if I decide."
Answering with a melancholy look, she looked up again at Jae-ho.
"You said it was a spirit make-up.
She clasped Jae-ho's pot lid with her small hand.
"Please! Help me!"
"Hmm? Isn't that too sudden?"
Jae-ho quickly shook off his hand.
"Ha, but you're the only one I can help! The Royal Knights are already under the control of the Grand Duke of Arif, and all the nobles have turned away! The only thing I can believe in is Francée and a handful of pro-Western forces!"
"He's a guardian and what the hell is he doing?! Shouldn't you show up and use your strength?"
"Frankare is the existence of protection to all extent. It should not be a means of tyranny."
"Where the hell is tyranny?! The country looks like it's going to go down."
Jae-ho exclaimed, "It's ridiculous."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty. I've seen a few of these guys, Guardian Gods. They're the only guardians of their words, but they're actually the god of sabotage. So don't trust me too much."
"Well, then isn't it all the more you have to help?"
“?!”
"I have no desire to antagonize the Elysia flower garden at all! It's only the greed of Grand Duke Arif!"
She clung desperately to Jae-ho.
A girl who looks only about 10 years old is quite strong!
I wondered if it was because Jae-ho was connected to the blood of the royal family.
"......then there is a condition."
"Condition? Tell me."
"Bulloo jangcho. Hand it over to the Elysia.”
“?!”
Unexpected conditions made her conspicuously perplexed.
Bullojangsaengcho is a precious plant permitted by the Lassel family, and it is handed over to another country?
"Well, that's a little...….”
"I'm not saying I'm just going to gulp it down, I'm going to take care of it. Maybe it's a few times more effective to raise in the Elysia garden than in this tight neighborhood."
It was the Elysia Garden where withered and dead flowers could spring up.
"And think about it. Do you think you'll be able to protect it, even if you have ambiguous power and support? There'll probably be a second arip inspiration.”
“…….”
The irrefutable story left her speechless.
Without any support base, she was absolutely at a disadvantage in the political fight.
"And think about it."
Jae-ho lowered his voice and said seriously.
"Is it for the sake of the future of the kingdom of Rasell that you are trying to get away from the old man Araf......or just because of your wealth and longevity."
“……!!!!”
For a great cause, isn't it a castle to give up that much?
* * *
[Quest has been accepted.]
[Liberate the kingdom of Lassel!]
You who have realized the identity of Lacellius VII and the hidden truth of the kingdom of Lacell!
Now we have to get her out of the clutches of Archduke Arif.
But all the forces of the Rasel kingdom are already concentrated on Arif.
So winning this war will never be easy.]
[Questions: Execution of the Archbishop of Arif.]
[Compensation: 1. Transfer
2. Alliance with the Rasel Kingdom]
At last she accepted.
At Jae-ho's first shot, she came to her senses.
"Of course for wealth and longevity!"
"Uh...... really?"
Of course, it wasn't a beautiful and just ending that people often think.
In any case, Jae-ho has decided to take over the Bulloo Saengcho, but he will continue to support the Bulloo Saengcho for her.
So the quest was renewed, and now we had to find a way.
"The Spirit of the Archduke is located in the northwest of the kingdom of Lassel."
The captain of the Self-Defense Forces, whom I met through the introduction of Lasell, explained to Jae-ho.
No matter how little the foundation was, Arif could not occupy the pro-Western forces.
Because they were only fighting for the king.
"I know that the Elysia plant has more power than I thought, but the military power of the Archduke Arip is the entire Rassel kingdom. I wonder how efficient we can be against that great army."
"Hmm......."
Jae-ho was also reluctant to mobilize his elves for war.
They are elves with overwhelming strength, but the war was different.
They did not know where or what would happen, and they were the elves who could not come back if they were hurt or killed.
'It's a matter of conscience to use an elf who trusts and follows me like a rock.’
Furthermore, the system informed us that Grand Duke Arif was a legendary NPC, so we could guess that this quest would be extremely difficult.
'Moving elves is only a handful of elite commandos.’
So, at the forefront of checking the military might of the Archduke Arif...….
"In the name of King Rassel, make a public announcement. Let us proclaim the acts of treason against the Duke of Arif and raise soldiers."
"......that's not easy? "As I said, the armies of the kingdom are already in the hands of the great Ariff..."
"Not the Imperial soldiers. Immotalians, they're the ones who risk their lives if they get paid.”
There was a flood of people who would stand in line for the state-level quests given directly by the king.
What if we use them to counter the military might of Arif?
"Even so, there's a problem."
If the quest was to be announced, Arif had no choice but to know naturally.
"Hmm......."
Jae-ho thought of a way while still thinking about it.
"You're saying we just have to make sure we know as late as we can't we?”
"......but is that possible?"
"There's a way to try.”
* * *
[*Extremely Confidential Quest*]
Destroy the royal family and destroy the traitor Arif, who stole the kingdom's treasure!
He was the black screen and the enemy of the house of Rasel, who controlled the kingdom of Rasel from behind.
Your Majesty wants to save the brave who will fight for the restoration of the kingdom.
And for those who have made the contribution, there will be great rewards and opportunities to devote themselves to the kingdom.]
[Questions: Execution or subjugation of Grand Duke Arif.]
[Revenge: 1. Lacel's favor with the Kingdom of Rasell has increased significantly.
2. Significantly increased in reputation
3. Significant increase in the merit of the Lassel Kingdom]
A quest that began secretly wandering among players staying in the Rasel Kingdom.
"Hey, did you see this? Isn't that a great reward?"
"But this isn't weird? I'm not sure where the quest came from."
"Of course I can't be sure. Don't you understand? It's a top secret quest. And looking back, it seems that King Rasel was actually a scarecrow, and he's going to take down treason."
"But why don't you use the military?"
"I don't think there's that foundation. I know. It's really time to refresh. If you play it right here, you'll be able to establish the foundation of the kingdom of Rasell."
Among the players, the quest came as an opportunity to take a big hit.
But on the other hand, this is an opportunity.
From the explanation of this quest, Arif was already the supreme power of the Rasel Kingdom.
If you dedicate this information to them and earn their trust, it is not a bad business either.
Betting on a higher winning percentage!
But there were beings they didn't expect.
"Is that the Territory of the Grand Duke of Arif?"
"Okay! By selling this quest information...... Huh? What are you guys?! Huh? You're not letting go?! You son of a... wow!!!"
The route to Arif's estate was blocked by some sort of force.
What made it possible...….
"We've got 324 people in total."
Dessie posted a status report to Jae-ho.
"That's a lot.”
"Isn't that obvious? I would've stuck with the Duke of Arif...There's no way... Long live the King!!!”
With Jae-ho's fierce eyes, he quickly changed his words.
It was entirely thanks to Red Balloon that the quest could spread secretly among the players.
They were so good at dealing with rumors because they took control of the back alleys of the Rasel Kingdom.
And it was also the Red Balloon that blocked those trying to get on to Arif.
'But eventually you'll find out.’
Jaeho thought.
The supreme ruler who took control of the Raselle kingdom was not a scarecrow.
'As long as it's known as late as possible.’
As long as Arif did not move first and aim for Laselle.
The battlefield should not be here, but Arif's territory.
The war clouds of the Rasel Kingdom quickly spread to the community, and many gathered in the Rasel Kingdom.
If the quest fails anyway, they'll be out of business if they run away from the kingdom of Lassel.
And finally it became D-Day.
[Quest has been activated.]
A simultaneous notification to all those who have accepted the quest.
Countless players gathered at the Rasel Kingdom Square looked up to the heights of the castle.
And King Rasel who showed up there!
"Huh? It's a kid?"
"Wang was a kid?”
"Arif was regent, of course."
People were quick to notice what had happened.
-Thank you all for coming together to rectify the abnormalities of this country!
Rachel opened her mouth to people.
-I can no longer stand by and watch the king and his people deceive the king and his people. So I decided to take courage.
Wow!!!!!
People responded to her with cheers.
-And I also thank my friend for actively helping me even in difficult situations! Let me introduce you to all of you gathered here.
When she turns around, she's a giant being who walks out of the dark.
"Huh?"
“???”
Most of the people gathered in the square are players.
They couldn't not recognize the face of the world's most famous star player.
"Alsia?"
