Chapter 404 Episode 402 Counterpart

"Your Highness, may I have a moment?

Go ahead, Duke Rheinfeld.

It was the Duke of Rheinfeld who visited the room.

Unscheduled visits are rare.

However, there is no advantage in chasing back the Duke, who always brings valuable opinions.

"Actually, I have a suggestion."

"About what?

"The Eastern Allies are standing by and scouting the area, but they want to expand their range."

"You mean tighter checks?

"I'll loosen up the checks near the city. Instead, I would like to increase the number of scouts considerably."

"Checking near the city will cause traffic jams. To eliminate that, right?

"That's true, but with more scouts, things will be easier to deal with. If you lay a checkpoint near the city, the knights won't get a chance to ride a horse, and it'll be a good opportunity."

"Lizzie, what about your sister?

He said, "I'll handle it."

"Well, no problem. Do it now."

The scouts will be able to check the people coming to the city for a two-step check.

Of course, there will be some overlooks, but we are in a hurry to get out of line before the inspection.

There is little we can do to improve the situation.

If he breaks the double check, he'll break the current one anyway.

"I see. Thank you very much."

The Duke of Rheinfeld tries to leave the room in return.

I spoke to the Duke of Linfeld like that.

"Duke of Rheinfeld"

"Yes? What is it?

"... when the Duke admits people?

It's a vague question.

But the Duke of Rhinefeldt came back to me without a nasty look.

And then...

"Is that my personal opinion?

"Of course."

"I don't know what it's like to admit it, but I look at people who can do things I can't. People who can do martial arts, people who can act without intention... people who can face strong people. I wonder if that standard is for each person."

"Really... thank you. It was helpful."

"Are you kidding me? It's not helpful. Master Rezelotte is special."

I didn't say anything about my sister Lise, but the Duke of Rheinfeld seemed to have an idea. Well, if I were to talk about being admitted, it would be a limited opponent.

"Sister Lize is the most powerful token to compare to board play. But I won't listen to you. Destroy enemies on your own."

"That's an interesting analogy. But that's also true. The problem is that the results sought by His Highness are currently different from those sought by Mr Rezelotte. Your Majesty wants to attack only the main tokens of the enemy, but Rezelotte wants to attack all of them. The only way to get rid of it is to have Master Rezelotte follow him."

"... do you think you can?

"I don't know if I can or can't. I'm so sorry you're so impatient."

That's what the Duke of Rheinfeld says and smiles.

I'm sure this man came north knowing everything.

I don't feel comfortable without burning a country called the clan kingdom, Sister Lise's passion. Understanding the flames of anger, I came to the north.

To carry the business together. To make sure you don't do it alone.

That's why it's funny.

"I can't stop Master Rezelotte. Your Highness is the only one who can stop it now."

"I wish Leo were here at this time."

"Lord Leonardo once stopped Master Rezelotte."

"Yeah, I pulled myself up and stopped straight ahead. No matter how passionate you understand, Leo would be wrong. But I can't say. If we stop here, we don't know where Sister Lize's fury is going."

Because of the kindness.

"It's just indecision. That's why I'm not good enough for the emperor."

"Maybe. But that's not what I'm saying right now. If... you can't stop yourself, I think it's a good idea to imitate someone."

Do you imitate it?

Sure is a good hand.

But who do you imitate?

"When my older sister admits it....."

"I think it's okay if you admit it. You know at least two of them."

"Two? I know my eldest brother... but who's the other one?

"His Majesty was still full of vitality. Of course, I think it's still alive."

In the words of the Duke of Rheinfeld, I remember one day eleven years ago.

Indeed, I saw the Emperor that day.

The figure of the emperor to whom the Crown Prince aspired.

But...

"For me... the Emperor is what I see."

"Everything is an experience. I think it would be a pleasure to experience it once."

That's how the Duke of Rheinfeld greeted him and left the room.

I feel like I got some hard advice.

It's not just good to imitate, but it's easy to do if you see what you're aiming for.

That's how Sebastian suddenly appeared.

"Mr. Arnold."

"What's wrong?

We lost contact with the Prime Minister's shadow.

"Isn't it just taking time? They're moving in hostile countries."

"It's possible, but... it's unnatural that we don't have scheduled regular contact. My hunch as an assassin says so."

"- Very well. I'll take your guess. You mean something happened?

"I'm not sure."

"It would be too late if we were looking for confirmation."

That's why I'm leaving the room.

As the Northern plenipotentiary, I'm getting a lot of attention. It is dangerous to move as silver in this situation.

Therefore, I have to use it instead.

There is no Elna nearby now.

You're not by my side all the time.

Elna needs a break.

But I can't even say that.

"Elna! Is Elna there?!

"Here! What is it!?"

Elna came out from the second floor of the mansion.

Because I rarely call it in.

He seems to have panicked.

Go to the border.

"I'm Al's bodyguard!?

"You're the fastest. Something is happening. Find out."

Looking into my eyes, Erna nodded instantly at the seriousness.

"Marc! I asked for Al's escort!

"Got it!

Leaving Marc with my escort, Erna puts her foot on a window nearby.

And then...

"If anything happens, I'll get back to you!

"Please."

As it stood, Elna went out the window and flew to the border.

The Prime Minister's shadow was the exile of the Crown Princess.

If anything, it would be relevant.

"I hope nothing happens....."

A princess in exile was killed on her way north.

I can't help but say that the North is cursed.

It will have to be avoided at all costs.
