chapter 94
94 – Civil War in the Kingdom (2)
A few days after handing over weapons and provisions to the Duke of the Kingdom.
The rebels succeeded in entering the capital, and word came that the royal palace was almost in sight.
Especially, the magic potion direct supply type horse gun seemed to have a great effect.
Not only the existing sorcerers, but also ordinary infantrymen can shoot continuously if they carry magic potions on their backs.
Fortunately, the repair of the villa that had been burnt down was completed sooner than expected.
It seemed that it was because Caitlyn called a restoration company at a higher price than the market rate, saying that the dormitory was inconvenient.
“Now I can play as much as I want again!”
She exclaimed as she looked at her immaculately restored cottage, as if there had been no fire in her.
It looked proud.
“What?”
“Of course you and there….”
She wiggled her fingers and lowered her eyeballs under her.
… It was my groin
Really reveal.
I like it too.
The luggage that had been moved to the dormitory for a while was moved back to the villa.
Not only Caitlyn, but everyone carried their luggage energetically to see if the villa was more comfortable.
Well, I’m more comfortable in a villa than a dormitory.
Aside from being raunchy.
“Sir Joel, I want to ask you something.”
Benedetta, who finished the work first, entered my bedroom and asked with a serious expression.
“Something?”
“When will you sow the seeds for me?”
“… ….”
Unlike her, her tone was a bit pouty.
A princess of a country who is upset that I won’t do anything erotic.
It’s cute, but I wonder if I’m anxious because I don’t want to be loved properly.
Maybe it’s just frustration.
“I want to do it with you too.”
“Then why not? Are you waiting for me to beg you? If you tell me how to beg, I will do it.”
“Calm down…. It’s not like that, but I want to do it after I get proper permission from His Majesty.”
Because of the last time I had a private meeting with the king, I aroused my anger, so the king came to oppose Benedetta’s engagement with me.
Under such circumstances, there is no need to further anger the king with Benedetta.
After being properly recognized, we should do it safely.
“Once you get pregnant, even Obama will eventually approve.”
“No, that’s a bit.”
Forgiveness is easier than permission.
“… And I have no intention of getting you pregnant yet. I want you to make a family plan after you graduate from the academy properly.”
“Is that so? If that’s what Sir Joel meant, I can’t help it, but I hope you understand my situation as I have to comfort myself while spending the night alone.”
It seemed very lonely not to do things only with oneself.
I felt a lot of sorry.
“Then how about doing this?”
Virginity, which is the most important point, is only from touching the line to caressing.
Because I can feel the feeling of sharing love enough.
“Okay! I don’t know, but how can I make Sir Joel feel better?”
“Well, there are many ways to do it with your mouth, your chest, or your hands.”
On the contrary, there are days when I am more attracted to that kind of caress.
The fact that he did his best to do things that only made me feel good was a really good factor.
“Oh, something different. I think I can be Sir Joel’s woman properly!”
“Do you want to try it now?”
“Now! Okay, let’s do it!”
According to my instructions, Benedetta knelt down on the floor.
This strange feeling of superiority that a country’s princess is below me.
It was when I reached for a button to take off my pants.
“Doryeonniim… !! Emergency-.”
Lena burst open the door and came in.
The timing was amazing.
Didn’t he say this the other day when he went to Lando’s room?
She muttered, swallowing her saliva.
“Ah…. It’s urgent, but……. Hey, would you like to hear… ?”
“No….”
In this situation, the only urgent matters are related to the kingdom.
It’s not enough to listen properly even if you concentrate properly.
Benedetta also got up and sat down next to me.
Then Lena came in front of us and started her report.
“Princess Arianna is starting proxy cleaning… !”
“”What?””
As the king was bedridden under the stress of the civil war, it became difficult for him to properly manage state affairs.
Therefore, it was said that Arianna, who had the highest succession rank among those currently in the palace, had decided to take care of state affairs on behalf of the sick king.
Is it true that the king is sick more than anything else?
Of course, ruling a country is not an easy task, so it was not at all implausible that he collapsed from stress.
What’s more, it’s a civil war.
“I have no evidence, but I am very suspicious.”
Hearing Lena’s report, Benedetta tilted her head.
“Abama is not the type to collapse in this situation. No, even if you fall down, you will still be in the office.”
According to Benedetta’s story, the king is someone with a strong sense of responsibility.
He said that he regularly exercised thoroughly and took good care of his health.
He said it was to prevent a sudden collapse.
Of course, a civil war like this is the first in the history of a dynasty that has been going on for hundreds of years.
Being under a lot of stress, Benedetta wondered if it was enough to take a break.
“I think it’s strange too… ! His Excellency also passed away suddenly… !!”
“Even the Prime Minister? I don’t understand any more….”
The Chancellor is neither a Benedetta faction nor an Arianna faction.
Benedetta said that he is a person who assists the king while taking a neutral position as much as possible.
The fact that the prime minister was a childhood friend of the king is also a big factor in that background.
… He said that he had known her longer than any of her wives, so he said it all.
“It would be more natural to say that he collapsed because of the chancellor’s death.”
The prime minister, who is neutral, dies and the king has a legacy.
As a result, Arianna took full control of the palace.
“I think that Obama tried to appease her rebel by punishing her sister, but she did it on her behalf….”
“That would be more natural.”
Now that it’s like this, Arianna will most likely lead her civil war until one side dies.
She said that she succeeded in entering the capital, but there is an elite knights group in the kingdom.
Then she should send more power and put Arianna in her corner.
Just surrender without a fight.
In this way, mankind’s military power will not be further reduced.
“Go to the Empire.”
“The Empire… ?”
“Let Lando declare. Arianna says she is an enemy of humanity.”
Empires, republics, and other small nations need a cause to intervene in the kingdom’s civil war.
So you just need to make a justification through the warrior’s declaration.
A warrior has the same influence as a religious leader in this world.
How would it feel to be slapped on the cheek by a jewel you found?
As usual, excessive greed ruins everything.
She felt it again.
***
Ariana di Varga is a threat to humanity, no different from the demons.
As soon as those words came out of her warrior’s mouth, she began marching into the kingdom as if the Imperial and Republic forces had been waiting for her.
It was only a matter of time before she joined up with the rebels who were just around the corner.
“Your Highness, you should also consider conditional surrender—.”
Boom!
At the advice of the Minister of Defense from her conference room, Arianna slammed her desk hard with her fist.
The other ministers who were also present were surprised at the moment and shook her shoulders.
“Surrender? You say surrender? Do you want to allow that b*tch Benedetta to come back to the palace?!”
“Your Highness, please hold on to my words—”
“Are you connected to Benedetta? So are you saying that? Knight Commander, bring out this traitor!”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
The knights grabbed the Minister of National Defense by the arms and forced him to stand up.
The Minister of Defense shouted, “No, Your Highness!!”, But Arianna didn’t pretend to listen.
In the frozen conference room atmosphere, no one spoke to Arianna.
She just kept her silence.
However, no matter how much she denies it, her dilemma remains the same.
Arianna knew that too.
There was no way to overcome this situation by the kingdom alone.
‘Other countries to lend strength….’
Most countries in the West are signatories to the Treaty of Lauris and are within the sphere of influence of the Empire and the Republic.
There was no small country that could oppose two great powers at the same time.
In the first place, a small country isn’t very helpful either.
Then there was only one country left.
“The Minister of Foreign Affairs.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Ask for cooperation from the Demon Kingdom.”
“… Yes?”
Arianna glared at the bewildered foreign minister.
It means that if you do not do what you are told, you will be made like the Minister of National Defense or the Prime Minister.
The knights in the back also looked at the foreign minister.
“I will do as you command.”
The meeting ended as it was.
Arianna went back to her office with her hand on her throbbing head.
After all, history is written by the winners.
Even if you cooperated with the Demon Kingdom, you can somehow justify it as long as you win.
Arianna sat down and drank her coffee, brewed by her maid.
As long as she overcomes this crisis, her throne will be hers.
You don’t have to fret anymore.
“Me, Your Highness. A messenger has arrived from the Demon Kingdom.”
“Already? It’s only been 30 minutes.”
“Yes, I was surprised too….”
“Tell them to come in first.”
A man clad in armor strode into the office.
Judging from the bleak sensation flowing through his body, he must have been a demon.
It felt a bit unique to decorate his helmet with white feathers.
Is it the form of demons?
Ariana made him sit on the sofa.
He sat down and she immediately put one of her bags on the table.
There were a lot of potion bottles in the bag.
“What is this?”
“It’s a medicine that can amplify one’s mana.”
“Eh, is it a magic potion?!”
“It has a similar effect, but it’s a completely different thing. It was made by grinding a fruit that only grows in the Demon Kingdom.”
The reason why the kingdom was greatly pushed back by the rebels was a large amount of magic potions.
If it works similarly, there was still a win!
Moreover, it was something that Arianna herself had been looking for so much.
The days when I was evaluated as having no qualifications as a member of the royal family due to the fact that I always lacked magic power.
All can be liquidated.
“What are the conditions?”
“To sign a non-aggression pact.”
“Good.”
It’s a promise anyway, don’t break it later.
Arianna immediately took one of her potions from her bag and gulped it down.
She opened her eyes wide.
Her magic power really increased.
Five times that!
“Can you supply more of this?”
“Of course. It’s a common fruit in our Demon Kingdom, so it’s not expensive.”
“Good, good!”
Arianna immediately gave her orders.
Drink this potion and go into battle.
The man from the Demon Kingdom—William grinned inside the helmet.
The potion he brought was a potion made by grinding [Paradise Lost Fruit].
The more you drink, the more you fall into a demon.
The third day after William arrived at the palace.
In the royal palace, the energy unique to the demon tribe overflowed.
To the extent that it spreads even in the capital city.
“Kill, kill, kill, kill!! Everyone who gets in my way!!”
Arianna, who was the first to transform into a demon in the kingdom, screamed loudly in her office.
