Bright Truth with his face up and Queen Lupis' gaze collide.

At that moment, the surrounding nobles saw a red spark scattering in their eyes.

Of course, that's just an illusion.

It's a hallucination with a tingling air that swirls between us.

But the sight was undoubtedly in the eyes of the nobles.

There was zero sound from there like he was willing to take a breath.

Heavy pressures that can even breathe cover this hall.

Besides, they're not going to divert their gaze from each other.

(Complete. Are you saying you don't want to pull... you are no longer the princess of those days in the boulder...)

Liang Zhen honestly acknowledged the growth of Lupis Roselianus.

At the moment of the deviation, the rating of both will be determined.

This is not about status.

Rated as pure organisms or as humans.

And the thing about being human is that once it's decided, it can't be easily overridden.

I guess that's all it means to be here with determination.

But I could say that the look on their faces contrasted.

One grins too much.

But on the other hand, hatred and anger make the otherwise beautiful face look badly distorted.

Of course, the former is your son Ryo True, and the latter is the king of this country.

(I can't choose between reconciliation and compromise now, so it would be natural to say so... Besides, I could ignore my provocation, but I appeared in a state of order because I put Keri on my own hands...)

There is no inherent need for Queen Lupis to show up on this occasion.

No, it would be more right that you shouldn't be.

People seek heroes in turmoil.

And Ryo Shiba, who led the civil unrest ahead to an end and showed the kingdom of Zaluda temporarily protected from the invasion of the Altomere Empire, was a hero at the same time an object of awe for the people of the Kingdom of Roselia.

It's too bad to hear that the king himself would take the initiative to cut off such a hero.

Of course, it is Queen Lupis, the King, who will make the final judgment, but it will certainly be better in the form of recourse to the House of Lords' decision.

And Queen Lupis herself understands that best.

That's why, even after the interrogation began, we watched things change in separate rooms.

No, even if Queen Lupis didn't understand, there was no way Mertina, who is nearby, could not stop.

Still, if you show up on this occasion, there is only one meaning to it.

(Settlement on this occasion… Understanding the various risks, I braced my stomach. Well, as expected...... right. I asked her to eat it because I showed her the gaps.)

Ryo Jin had accurately spotted the grid swirling under the mask of her anger and hatred from the look on the face of Queen Lupis.

Speaking of where the roots are in this disturbance, that would undoubtedly be from the day Queen Lupis decided to take Ryojin left to the border known as the Waltenian Peninsula and kill him.

It was Lupis Roselianus, the person who made the decision to force Liang Zhen, who was willing to leave the Kingdom of Roselia after the civil unrest had subsided, to give him aristocracy and territory in the name of a prize.

If I say it from the point of view of good and evil, I can't help but say that Queen Lupis, who created the cause, is the perpetrator, and Ryo Jan is just a victim trying to protect herself.

And if you were Queen Lupis, you wouldn't have been able to shake off that guilt and hit it with bold means.

Even if you keep your personal hatred in your heart.

Still, even though Queen Lupis rode the true provocation, it must have cemented her grievous readiness for peace with herself and this country.

(It's no beauty to say that we will rule the country. I'm not telling you not to speak beautifully, but I don't know that it takes overwhelming power to do it... No, I shouldn't have)

A human being in a position he said to be king or leader who controls the country, or decides the end of the country, should not be lost in his judgment.

To be more precise, don't let them see you get lost.

Of course, the king cannot be more irrelevant to regret or reflection than he is also a human being.

But the king's job is to make up his mind.

When the king's judgment and instructions to make that decision are shaken, the person below can no longer determine how he should move.

Queen Lupis must have finally understood that.

No, maybe it's more right that I had to understand.

There is a saying that status nurtures people.

At the end of numerous ordeals, I guess Lupis Roselianus finally woke up to his consciousness as an exchanger.

(That's a shame... if you're this woman now, or...)

That is the true and false truth of Ryo.

That being said, that is now a meaningless assumption.

Because the race has already been waved.

It was Queen Lupis who broke the silence to begin.

"Let me just ask you one thing... why?

That was an inquiry that subtly lacked content as a question.

But if you make it two parties, I guess that's enough.

"Why?... Do you need to answer that question now?

To the words, Queen Lupis lays her eyes down lightly.

I understand that it makes no sense now.

And even if you understand that, you're asking yourself again what it means to have asked.

Meltina, standing beside her, turns her anxious gaze toward Queen Lupis.

Feeling that gaze, Queen Lupis turned her face to Bright True as she gently shook her neck to Mertina's side.

In its eyes lies the light of will, like hard steel.

"Yeah, I know this question is only sentimental. But... but I want to ask you one last time. Because I am the king of this country..."

It's Queen Lupis' word of truth.

Is it like one last hand toward a hero who is going to judge you as a sinner?

Because I know that, Ryo Makoto also exposes his honest mind again.

"Well, in short, it's necessary to survive..."

"Necessary to survive?

Queen Lupis tilted her neck to Ryo True's answer.

That would be a long and passive word for a man who is seen as a young hero to utter.

That's what makes "to be king of a country" more appropriate for a human being named Ryo Shiba.

In fact, the aristocrats, who remained silent and watched over their accomplishments, also have a strange look on their face.

They also thought that the battle ahead was an announcement from an ambition that could not give up the portion of the builders.

With such a peripheral gaze elsewhere, Liang Zhen spoke of his mood.

"Well, it will be a long time to elaborate, and let me just conclude that you will not understand, in any case, to all the nobles bound by the old stinking stereotypes that are present here. To be clear, I don't want to die caught up in your inefficient and ridiculous rule...... For better or worse, I don't have that much attachment to this country, do I?

With that said, Ryo Jin showed a gentle grin.

It would also sound like a traitor or a piece of junk that only thinks of his own protection if he thinks of it in the country.

But Liangzhen's claim is not so bizarre if you think of it as a company, not a country.

Liang Zhen is like an employee hired halfway to a company called the Kingdom of Roselia, so to speak.

But no big company has a future if its employees, like those involved in management policy, take bribes and embezzle assets repeatedly.

It would be easy to imagine which bankruptcy would be compromised by administrative guidance, or the future of takeovers or absorption-type mergers to other companies.

Not to mention, even if a mid-career employee who is not caught in the company's air calls for reform, there is no hitter if he is trapped in past habits and the company itself has no room to accept the proposed reform.

Not to mention that if Lupis Roselianus' own policy, which is at the top, is lazy, we won't even be talking about it.

I'm not saying dictatorship is good, but it's because at the top of the organization, people who can't make decisions, everything gets distorted.

When that happens, there are two avenues you can take for a mid-career employee.

We have no choice but to escape or fight.

That makes perfect sense.

But it was not conveyed to the nobles, who condensed themselves in such a sense of privilege as Liang True Reason and never looked at their own deeds.

An anger flies from the mouths of the nobles who were keeping silence.

That's loud enough to tremble the whole thing during this interrogation.

But if I took such surrounding voices as bright and true, they were worthless.

And continue the words without breaking the grin on its face.

"Oh, I don't want you to get me wrong, but I'm not going to accuse you of anything else about how you govern. I know it's stupid, and I think it's inefficient, because if you're going to say that's the way this earth world works, you have no right to deny or accuse me of it. No matter how frustrating and resentful the people are, if you're going to do it anywhere that's none of my business, and I'm not willing to say it anyway... except if you're going to violate the lives and property of me, my people, and my people because of it."

That's a calm voice.

At the same time, however, it is strong in steel.

I suppose you are convinced of justice and greatness in your own actions.

At the same time, the thoughts are not understood from the surroundings, and I am prepared to undergo rebellion.

"Is that why you said you fought the Earl of Salzberg house?

"Yeah, that one was drowning in his own greed, and the residents were gasping for causation. Even with Mrs Julia's political skill and the cooperation of the Union of Chambers of Commerce, which holds the economy of Ipilos in one hand, we managed to maintain the balance, because it was an easy sandy cabinet to collapse with a little extraneous force. As for me with my territory adjacent, there's no way I could have seen it. It is true that the Waltenia Peninsula is an undisclosed land and a small number of inhabitants, but that is why we cannot renounce the duties of our lords."

To the words, Queen Lupis asks questions.

"That's why you said you had a war?...... It is indeed the duty of the nobility to defend the territory. I'll admit that. But if you knew by then that the Salzberg Count's reign was terrible, why didn't you sue the House of Lords? It is the law of this country that will judge between nobles in the House of Lords and the King will judge!

In the words, a curse also flew from the nobles around him toward Ryo Shin.

"That's right! Why didn't you report it to the House of Lords!

"You have an excuse for craving the territory of the Earl of Salzberg. That's all I'm saying!

Confirming such an ambient reaction, the Marquis of Halcyon, who has so far kept his silence, shows a gentle twitch.

"Your Majesty is right. If your actions are really about the people, why didn't you report Count Salzberg's outrage to us and attack him arbitrarily? Isn't this proof that this battle has been triggered by your ambitions?

It is only natural for a person belonging to the State to obey the provisions of the law.

At least, efforts should be made to comply with the law.

But Liangzhen didn't seem to be upset about the fine dust, either, even after such a natural accusation.

"No, no, I didn't report it to the House of Lords because it's simply useless to talk to you. Anyway, you're all in the same hole."

With that said, Ryo Jin takes the folded paper out of his nose and calls out to Mertina.

"I'm sorry, may I show this to Your Majesty?

Mertina receives the paper that was offered to her in silence, even though she has the same expression as she explores it.

Even if he was letting go of the killing air, he didn't seem to have the option of not receiving it from the air on this occasion.

Most importantly, it seems that Queen Lupis is the same person who was interested in what was written on Ryo True Removed Paper.

Upon receipt of the quadrufolded paper from Meltina, Queen Lupis spreads it quickly.

There are noble names and countless numbers belonging to the House of Lords.

At first, Queen Lupis did not understand the meaning of the numbers and letters written on this paper.

Queen Lupis desperately tried to explore the intent, looking at Ryo True's face, which did not break her spare grin.

(All that's written on this paper are those who belong to the House of Lords, starting with the Marquis of Halcyon... and the numbers assigned to them on a monthly basis... as a nobleman who doesn't belong to the House of Lords... only the name of the Earl of Salzberg written at the top... no, this doesn't make any sense... but whatever the aim, I don't think this man will do anything meaningless)

The numbers on this paper should support the legitimacy of Ryo's true actions.

At least, he must be the one who serves as the basis for it.

Various assumptions float among Queen Lupis and disappear.

And one assumption remained.

"No way... this is..."

The moment we get to that assumption, Queen Lupis' beautiful face catches on.

To Queen Lupis like that, Ryo Jin snorted and showed her.

"As Your Majesty imagined. This is a statement of the amount of monthly support paid by the Earl of Salzberg to the House of Lords and the nobles who belong there. Well, technically, it's under your sleeve."

Liang Zhen's voice sounded unnaturally loud during the interrogation.
