195 Episode XVII: The Prime Minister's Plan

"O messengers of the Empire. Well done for coming."

A fat man stomped back and forth into his chair looking down at us.

You're like the symbol of a fool king.

Right now, we're seeing the king.

I didn't really want to bow down, but I had no choice but to keep my head down because I was Teng himself who planned Sherry's abduction.

"No. Congratulations to His Highness Elemenane on your marriage this time. This is a celebration from the Empire."

As a delegate, Sherry, the royal family, offered a certain magic fixture to the king.

"Hmm? What's this?

"It's a magic tool that says camera and instantly photographs a picture that looks just like the real thing"

Yes. It was the camera I chose as my gift.

I can't give you materials or golden-eyed objects, and they don't seem to help you in war.

And then I left it on camera because this fool king is going to use it for his personal greed.

"Oh. it's true. Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Taking one photo, the Fool King gave a disgusting laugh.

That's exactly what I expected.

"And you guys, I said you came to my country with a dragon... what do you mean?

Hmm?

"What do you mean?

"I hear you brought a dragon to our country!

You were laughing disgustingly earlier, but suddenly you got angry. What's wrong?

Truth is, you don't know what you're thinking.

"It's a means of travel. If you take the dragon, you'll have a day in King's Capital, which will take weeks by carriage."

Here, I answered instead of Shelly.

"That's not what I meant! This is an act of aggression by a dragon! So hand over the dragon to us as punishment."

Huh?

"What was the act of aggression?

Sure, if you ask me, it hurts that I can't argue because I didn't go through the lockup.

"Isn't bringing dangerous dragons an act of aggression in itself? So hand over the dragon as soon as possible."

Oh, I haven't noticed anything about this place.

You should be strong about this.

"I refuse"

"What?"

"Besides, I don't think we can handle dragons in the kingdom. Is there anyone who can defeat the dragon? If you're not there, I think you should stop leaving dragons in the country. If you fail, the country will perish, won't it?

"What? Then I'll be in my country."

"Sire. Isn't that good? If you were in the kingdom, you wouldn't get to see the dragon, would you? The Imperial messenger must have been brought with him a dragon with a spectacle as well. Besides, I don't think it's a good idea to get your hands dirty as of the day of congratulations."

When I told him that a brave man could take him down, he was actually going to let him fight, but the prime minister stopped him.

"So is that. Then let's miss it this time."

"Thank you"

True, why do I have to bow my head to this guy?

When the sight was over and she returned to the room, she sat down on the couch as Shelly and Leena fell in.

"You didn't know what would happen for a while."

"Right. Maybe it was over without even attending the wedding."

"You've been helped by the Prime Minister."

No, I think he was afraid the dragons would destroy his country.

I suppose the king thought he could take it down if he was a brave man, but I guess the Chancellor knew that wasn't possible.

When I was talking about Balth, he said even if he got the skills, he still said it was about Stan.

Ordinary dragons might be able to take them down, but they won't be any match for Dragon King in the end.

If the prime minister hadn't stopped it, I would have let him demonstrate it and changed the argument from whether the brave man was stronger than the dragon from the story of whether we had committed an act of aggression.

I wanted to see the brave man's skills.

"Let me take a peek over there."

I generally know what you're thinking, but I don't like any miscalculations, and you've never been over to know.

I put out a monitor and started checking if any information had come from the rats I had set up.

SIDE: Ramross

"Not at all...... It's usually easy to handle, but I have trouble being a stupid king at times like this"

Just think about it and you'll see, okay? They're dragons, aren't they? You can imagine what it would be like to let something like that fight in the King's Capital.

"Besides, Leons Muldeen...... Was the rumor true that you could defeat the dragon...... Damn. Will the former brave ever stand in our way"

He is the grandson of the brave man who defeated that demon king. It wouldn't be strange if you were taking over the power of some brave man.

Oh, it's really hateful. How did previous generations let the brave escape when they knew this was going to happen?

"I thought it would be nice to go with the brave, but there would be a difference in strength that wouldn't even let me do that. So... assassination, hostage? The best result would be to take the princess and the Virgin hostage and kill Leonce... but the remaining dragons are troublesome..."

Leons has a precedent.

But no matter what you think, I don't think you can succeed in assassinating the dragon.

Can I serve a powerful poison...?

No, I'm afraid when I fail. It would be better not to buy dragon anger as much as possible.

"But... to not do something about the dragon... I have no choice. If this happens, do we have to use trump cards?"

With that skill that the former brave used when he defeated the Demon King, about two dragons would be fine.

I'd like to take it to war and put it there, but if I can secure the hostages and kill Leons, isn't it bad to use it here...?

"Either way. I was going to have Brave and Elemenane gone when I was used up. Better than struggling then?"

Elemenane...... she said she would have let you live if she had stayed the jewel princess.

Is this because of the brave ones too? Yeah, it's a really depressing one.

"Ha..."

Sighing, I rang the bell with Chillin.

Then, immediately, one butler came into the room.

"Would you like to call me?

"Tell the shadows to move. I don't care what means you use, make the plan a success at all costs. and"

I don't care how many people are sacrificed at this time.

Worst of all, the kingdom nobility of the same faction may die. Because you get more profit than that.

Copy that, sir.

"And then, somehow, keep it in their ears that Elemenane is after Leons' life"

That would allow us to assume that even if we failed, it was Elemenane's plan.

Copy that, sir.

"That's all the requirements. Stay back."

"Hmm. All you have to do is hope for success."

SIDE: Leons

"Pray on your own. Well, I don't think God in this world is such a convenient guy."

"Still, you're going to use brave correction here"

I wonder if it's not a bad hand for a kingdom to take.

If you do have the ability to defeat the Demon King, what an easy win for a dragon.

Without me, there's no need to use brave correction in war.

But I wonder what my assassination on that premise is going to do.

I'm more of a pain in the ass than a dragon.

"And I knew the kingdom was going to kill the brave and the princess when it was no longer necessary."

You didn't think the ones who manipulated that stupid king to have good thoughts would make Elemenane king who didn't seem to be what he wanted.

"If Elemenane becomes king, it's going to be a somewhat better country."

"Oh, are you peeking again? Whose bath scene is it?

Leena hugged me from behind as I was squeaking a bump towards the monitor.

That's unusual. Leena. I thought I looked at Shelley's, and she was tired or nagging on the couch.

"No, no. It's a bald old man talking to himself."

They say you peek recently, so you don't touch the rat monitor on the detour.

"Oh, my husband has such a hobby"

"No, it's not. It's a proper espionage."

You're too creepy about your hobby to watch the old man talking to himself.

"Hehe. I know. Good luck. Have you found anything new?

"No, especially. Strongly, I guess they're planning an assassination."

Don't touch the brave correction. I don't want to make you more anxious than you need to be.

"Oh, that's scary. Maybe they're still after us over the wall."

"Maybe...... Ah."

I casually glanced across the wall, and what a fine cannon was pointing this way.

Do you go that far......

"Huh? What's going on?

"No, it's nothing."

I feel like I'm going to panic when I say something on the other side of the wall to the boulder, and should I be deluded?

I'm not going to get shot right now, and I'll sneak it out later.

"That can't be right. Is there something over there?

"No, I'm not. Er..."

I'm a little worried, then I put my mouth close to Leena's ear.

And I grumbled the most like me.

"I just saw everyone naked when I used clairvoyance."

"Ugh... pervert"

Reddening his face, he slapped my cheek gently with his petin.

Well, now you've misled me.
