Chapter 17: If I Can Stop It, Then I’ll Try Stop It

Chapter 17: If I Can Stop It, Then I’ll Try Stop It

I have a memory of my young niece in my memories of my previous life which was becoming fainter day by day.

Whenever she didnt like something, she would clearly say, No, and when her parents tried to reason with her, she would sulk and say No, to everything. When that happened, there was nothing anyone could do. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

Until she fell asleep, exhausted from throwing a tantrum, my sister (her mother) and I would try to calm her down.

She would throw a tantrum and say, No even when my sister told her to go outside to reflect or that she would take away her food. She was a tomboy who couldnt be reasoned with.

Im sorry, I cant remember your name anymore, but Im going to borrow your strategy.

This was the only thing I could do now. It was shameful, but I could do this since I was a child.

Now, who can stop a child who cant be stopped by reasoning when the Emperor does it?

It has been a long week. I havent heard of any news of Baron Renan being killed yet, which meant that he was still alive.

It was finally time for my language class. The teacher, of course, was someone else.

Its a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. I am Carlos le Vadpo, Count Vadpo. I will be in charge of your language classes starting today.

As I recall, he was from the Regent Faction, and was an aristocrat who held the newly created position of the Emperors aide-de-camp, or something. I remember him, but first, I had to get a testimony from this man.

Who are you? More importantly, wheres Baron Renan? Bring him to me as soon as possible.

The Counts face twisted.

No, I will be your language teacher from today on.

I dont need you, just bring me Baron Renan.

Aristocrats are a prideful bunch. He wouldnt like being told that by a child. It was easy to fish for words to say.

Im sorry, but the Baron is in prison. It would be absurd to bring a heretic like him before Your Majesty.

It worked.

What? Prison?

Now I know that the Baron was being held in prison.

I dont need to hold back anymore.

I never heard about this. Who did such a selfish thing? Get him out here.

Your Majesty, I cant do that.

You cant?

A well-educated child would accept this even if they dont understand, but I wasnt educated like that.

I shook off the maids who were trying to stop me and entered the Regents bedroom with tears welling up in my eyes.

Oh, I created the tears with magic.

Oh my, Your Majesty. Whats wrong?

Yes! Im glad she wasnt in the middle of having an affair with her lover. Honestly, that was my biggest concern.

I told her what had happened. But I was a child, so my explanation was inadequate and somewhat different from the facts, but that was fine.

The Chancellor put Timona Renan, whom Mother gave to me, and Baron Frederic Renan, my favourite teacher, in jail.

Timona Renan had nothing to do with this and the slight difference was that (part of) the Chancellor Faction had put Frederic in jail (with the Chief of the Ministry of Ceremonies consent).

What?!

But they dont listen to me at all. I just asked them to release the Baron but they ignored me and Im sure theyre planning on taking over this nation. Theyre going to kill me!

Of course, they wont listen to me if I tell them to kill, and I only asked them to release the Baron once, and they included the Chief of the Ministry of Ceremonies, but those were just small discrepancies.

Its alright now. Im going to help you.

Really? I can believe you?

I acted weak and confirmed. I had said that myself, but it was lame for an Emperor to cling to his mother and cry.

But it was natural for a child to cry to his mother. So even if I, the Emperor, were to cry to my mother, the Regent, it would be overlooked as a childs act even if the two factions split in half and become four factions.

Yes, of course. Ill make sure you get what you want.

Thanks Thank you very much The only one I can rely on is you, Mother.

I gave her a hug for good measure.

The Regent will soon learn that this matter had been approved by the Chief of the Ministry of Ceremonies.

But she ran the risk of being hated by me if she didnt act. There was a good chance that I would rely on her if she acted, and she would be able to return to politics.

The Chief of the Ministry of Ceremonies might act arrogant in front of his daughter, but more than that, he can attack the Chancellors faction. He received rights for handing the Baron over. He wont have to lose the things he had received with a single sentence of things have changed. In fact, he would be the person who benefits the most.

If this happens, then the Chancellor will definitely cut his losses. He could also tell me that my brother did it.

George V was the leader of the western sect. He wont be dismissed no matter what I say or how much the Regent protests, but he would lose face.

The Regent can interfere with politics by relying on me, and the Regent Faction will have two leaders. George V and the others who were forced to take responsibility will be dissatisfied and the Chancellor Faction will become like a ticking bomb.

They can destroy each other with their suspicions.

Reduce the power of both factions without being detected. That was my original goal.

Well, as far as I was concerned, I have nothing to say if the Baron is released.

The only matter left was if I made it in time or not.
