478 Chapter 461 Quadripartite Meeting

I finished a round of greetings, went back to the castle and had dinner with my mothers, and I was again in the throne room.

There are four people gathered.

The Emperor, the Prime Minister, and the Baron.

I'm the only one out of place, but these four had a common plan.

Investigate the Crown Prince's death.

Well, let's hear more about it.

That's what my father cut out.

Somehow.

I investigated the Crown Prince's death extensively, but I was unable to obtain any information.

"I thoroughly investigated it from the clan side, but there was nothing suspicious about it.There is no planning. At that time, the clan country was interpreted as a runaway of nobility, but that was true.A nobleman near the border heard the Crown Prince's inspection and targeted his neck.That's the conclusion of the investigation. "

You're in trouble.

The Baron Yong, who asked me directly to investigate, murmured.

I should have caught my eye on this investigation.

But I couldn't find anything.

That makes no sense.

"After a huge investigation, nobody moved.Doesn't that mean there's nothing to be bothered about? "

"Did you really think the Crown Prince's death was just an arrow?You think that Wilhelm was hit by an arrow? "

"Situational evidence shows that."

Franz answers his father's words.

If you're out of your mind, you'll have to make that decision.

But...

"I also checked with the nobles on the perimeter, but there was no useful information.It's been four years, so there's no evidence. "

"There is a possibility that it was too late to investigate further....."

The Baron puts his hand on his chin and thinks.

My thoughts fell out of shape.

However, there are some bad arithmetic and some good arithmetic.

"Nevertheless, His Highness Erik has no movement.His Highness Leonard and His Highness Arnold broke up and had a chance to destroy each one, but they did nothing.I've been monitoring His Highness Erik for the past year, but nothing suspicious has happened.I wonder if it's not as influenced as Lord Zandra and Lord Gordon? "

"It's possible, but it's not possible.The suspicion does not go away.If the children were perverted by the influence of the Queen, they would be as safe today as Leonard and Arnold. "

Father shook his head sideways with a sharp face.

The Baron agreed with such a father's words.

"If you have any doubts, it would be dangerous to trust you.That's not the problem this time in the first place.I asked Al to investigate for two reasons.One is to divert attention from Leo.The other thing is - if the Crown Prince is assassinated, we need to know how.The struggle over the empire was the choice.Whoever triumphs... will destroy the Empire if their successors are assassinated again. "

The father and the prime minister silenced the words of the Baron.

That's right.

I can still draw your attention to me.

However, we need to find out the cause of the Crown Prince's death.

There was nothing unnatural about the death of the Crown Prince, either from the Imperial side or from the clan side.

It was a truly unfortunate death.

That's highly likely.

But if it's an assassination that looks like an unfortunate death...

I can't stop it next time.

"I can't trust Brother Erik because he may be spoiled.If that's the case, we can't just leave the Crown Prince's death unfortunate, beyond the possibility of assassination.I accompanied the magician in the investigation, of course.But there was nothing strange about it.Even though it's been four years, if there's no trace of this... I guess it's just a way out of reach. "

"I agree. Just now, the unknown began to appear on the continent."

"... the devil?"

Father murmurs tired.

The devil's involvement in the Crown Prince's death is a profound conspiracy.

There will be remorse if you realize that you are the emperor.You may think that you killed the crown prince Misumi.

But I can't just be depressed.

"If the devil gets involved, everything will be fine...."

The Prime Minister snapped.

Everyone nods to it.

Speaking of futility is futile.

They fight with the power they were born with.

That power is different from magic.

I know because I actually fought the devil.If the power is right for assassination, we can assassinate the Crown Prince without proof.

That's why we can't find any evidence to investigate.

"The curse through the queen is convincing if it is said to be the work of the devil.I'm curious about the fact that it's not the same as the demons 500 years ago. "

As he said so, the Baron showed his thoughtful expression.

Demons basically despise humans.Of course it has that much power.

It is doubtful whether it will take many years to break down.

"When I think about it, I don't get the answer.As a matter of fact, there was no evidence from the clan of the assassination of the Crown Prince.So let's decide what to do.Will you continue with your plan to draw the attention of His Highness Arnold? "

If they were human, they would be able to turn their attention to me.

But if it's the devil, it's pointless.

You can kill them both if you don't want to.

If we could assassinate the Crown Prince without proof, that would be possible.

"It doesn't make any sense."

I thought Al was just in danger.

Listening to me and the Baron, my father nods.

And then...

"Then there is one policy. The Adventurer Alliance is still looking for the remnants of the devil.I don't think it was destroyed.I support it as an Empire and cooperate fully.Until you can't accept it.We will destroy the demons from the continent. "

That's the policy my father made.

It may seem very different from before.

If there is a demon, it will be destroyed. Work with your Alliance.

It's the same as ever.

But the decision is different.

"If necessary, I'll come out.I am also willing to use the emperor's sword.

Quiet, me, the Baron, and the Prime Minister lowered their heads.

The emperor's presence on the battlefield certainly means a lot.

But in this case, that's not the point.

The emperor's exclusive magic equipment, such as the emperor's flag, is essentially a legacy from the ancient magic era.

Dangerous substitute that contracts and triggers by blood.

But the emperor's sword is not the ratio.

It was developed by an emperor called the Invention Emperor.

The emperor is a rare genius who built the Imperial Sword Castle.There was no one on the right, especially when it came to making magic tools.He improved the legacy from the ancient magic era in the treasure trove and created a weapon of annihilation exclusively for the emperor.

Because of that danger, it has been sealed like the Holy Sword.

My father made it clear that he would use it.

There was a determination not to allow demons to exist on this continent.
