To Be a Power in the Shadows!
Damn man, as planned.
As Doem entered the special room, a grey robe figure looked back and saw Doem.
I hide my face with a robe, but I can read from my physique that I'm probably a woman. She looked at Doem, and turned to King Oriana, next to Doem.
And a word.
"Damn."
"Hey woman, you're being rude."
"Sorry."
Doem stared at the woman in the grey robe, suppressing her upset heart.
Doem used a highly dependent herb to puppet King Oriana. The effects of the herbs are impeccable, but addicts also have the disadvantage of emitting a unique smell.
But I hide the smell with perfume. You should never be noticed first.
"Lord Doem, this is the martial god Beatrice."
"Oh my..."
Martial god Beatrice. I heard you were coming to Wang Du, but are you for real?
You don't look very much like a swordsman called Martial God.
She wears a faded grey robe. Plus she doesn't know how to be polite. I just apologized one word and I'm already watching the game.
Doesn't look strong... but if her strength is as real as rumors say, there's a risk she won't spot it in Doem. It should also be considered authentic, taking into account what Princess Iris has admitted.
I hear the face of the martial god Beatrice resembles that of the hero Olivier. If only I could see your face, Doem would know...
"That's rude, even though you don't know it."
"I'm so sorry to bother you."
Doem and Beatrice apologized and this place subsided. Beatrice's rumblings are treated as directed at Doem.
I also want to avoid Doem making noise about the smell.
But I didn't expect Beatrice to show up at the Martial Arts Festival.
By virtue of this day...
Doem smashed his tongue small.
"King Midgal, you're in a good mood today."
"Uhm."
Switching his mind, Doem greets King Midgal. King Midgal sits on a large throne in the special room's privileged seat.
Exchange stereotypical greetings and King Oriana sits next to King Midgal. Then Doem sits next to it and turns to follow King Oriana.
King Oriana can answer as he should, but he will not forgive it if it is more than that. That's where Doem leads the conversation, but the only way to follow it is now.
But that's as planned.
Doem's goal lies first and foremost in securing Rose.
The last time I saw her, she was already developing. Her blood will be the best material for the Order.
To that end, Doem sprinkled the bait.
Rose threatens to use King Oriana to kill King Midgal if he doesn't show up at the Martial Arts Festival venue.
Of course it's a threat, but Doem thinks it's okay to actually kill him.
Kill King Midgal and the war will begin and the Kingdom of Oriana will perish. But preparations are under way to set the puppet on the next throne of the Kingdom of Midgal. If we succeed, we can make the most of it. There is a risk of failure, but it would be worth it just to do it.
If there's an element of anxiety, Iris is here. She is seen suspicious of the vain King Oriana. It would also be possible to be inhibited.
But by killing the king during Iris' game, this element of anxiety can be easily eliminated. So nothing should have gone wrong.
But now there is a beatrice on this occasion. It would be difficult to get rid of her and her strength would be more than Iris. If she moves to jam, it will be more of an obstacle than Iris.
And I don't even know what Jimina's after, the mysterious man. He's a resident of the back world. It should always be working for a purpose, but nothing came up after examining the relationship behind it. This guy is a professional job. We need to be most vigilant.
Doem exhaled heavily.
It's going according to plan, but there are too many anxiety elements. This is a totally unsafe situation.
Or this, as long as Rose shows up at the venue. If she shows up, you don't have to take a risk.
Rose should definitely show up. She cannot abandon her country and her father. That's what Doem was reading.
Sure, there are a lot of anxiety elements, but no problem. Everything should work.
Doem tells himself that to watch the game.
And time flies, and Claire Cageno triumphed unsafe on the playing field.
"Hmm..."
She wasn't a player she was paying particular attention to, but her strength was unexpected. Highly magical, but not wielded by magic.
It is still strong, but still has qualities that make it stronger.
"Mr. Claire... you're lifting your arms"
Iris takes a seat in the sight of Claire's victory.
"I beg your pardon as the game begins"
Everyone gives Iris a word of encouragement, and the brunette boy who was sitting next to Iris also takes a seat.
"I'm going to the bathroom"
Everyone thought you'd go on your own. No, only Beatrice was following his hindsight with his eyes.
He's a mediocre boy called Sid. I wondered why you were sitting next to Princess Iris, but there's nothing else to pay particular attention to. Doem immediately forgot about him and shifted his consciousness to the next game.
The match between Iris and Jimina means a lot to Doem as well.
Determining the strength and aim of Jimina, a resident of the back world. It is also a good opportunity for Iris to leave his seat.
And the two of them left, some time later...... Iris and Jimina showed up on the game field.
