Chapter 377 - : Horn Kingdom, and the Heated Conference (2/2)
The last person, Western Forest Marquis Seiria The only woman in the Four Marquises, with a head of chestnut brown hair
Her age looks to be in the early twenties Pretty young However, in contrast to her age, she has a resolute aura which makes one raise their evaluation of her unconsciously It’s only my first impression, but she looks like a hard-headed person ouldn’t allow compromises While she is a beauty, she doesn’t look like the type that men would approach, eh
Besides thebehind each group
Prime Minister Schwein
Eastern Sea Marquis Toren
Southern Spring Marquis Navait
King’s younger brother Ganossa
Northern Mountain Marquis Hawkes
Western Forest Marquis Seiria
The conference that would decide the future of Horn Kingdoreed with Prince Kahts He feared that his son’s radical ideas dom That is why he had prohts, and transfer them to me”
“However, you cannot prove that he had actually made that kind of promise While the story would be different if the crown prince had already been stripped of his succession rights, right now, following civil laws, it is the proper procedure for the first son of Prince Kamra, Prince Cuo to inherit the throne, isn’t it?”
“Is Pri thatof the sort The king had been very troubled by the rift between him and his son A spur-of-the-moment statement made when he is overcome with emotions… I believe that that’s a possible scenario as well, is all I’’s younger brother Ganossa They’re going on co to back down
Just like what the pri may have said that when he’s drunk, or after one of his uh he said it, he doesn’t really want to do it… There’s the possibility The probleer brother fully believes in those words
“There’s so I want to confirm, Prime Minister-dono Is it true that on the day elder brother died, there was an argument between him and you?”
“… Yes It is the truth; what about it?”
“According to the people in the castle back then, elder brother had cleared everyone else out of the roo important to talk about with you Can you tell us what that solare, Prime Minister Schwein slowly opened his mouth
“… We only talked about the will of the deceased Prince Kamra It was about how he still believed that Horn needs to open its doors to the world in order to not get left behind by it However, the king was still opposed to the idea, and it developed into an argument…”
“Is that the truth? Didn’t elder brother talk to you about passing the throne toelder brother’s death too Don’t you have any idea about them, Prime Minister-dono?”
“… I have no idea what you’re asking fro the pri?
No no, would he kill the king just because he wanted the country to be opened to the outside?
Ah, if the king died, he could control the country as regent to his grandson I guess the motive is there
The two of the at each other If you ask me, both sides have suspicious parts to theht Her Holiness the Pope along, though
There’s not[Mystic Eyes of Sincerity] And given that it’s the half-isolated Horn Kingdom, there should be very little possibility anyone here knows
I stealthily asked Her Holiness the Pope, who’s sitting next to me
“How is it? Can you understand which side is lying?”
“That is…”
Her Holiness the Pope tilted her head with a troubled look
“Neither side are lying… I think”
“Eh? What, what do you mean?”
“Mythe truth, or they believe what they’re saying to be the truth… Or, theythat could block the effects of h I havn’t seen an artifact that could block the effects of mystic eyes yet, if we assuic, it’s not i like that frorandfather of Prince Cuo If he becoent, he could wield even more authority than before However, with Ganossa-sama here, there’s no way that could happen Exactly a thorn in his side, don’t you think?”
“What exactly are you trying to say here, Norther Mountain Marquis?”
As the Northern Mountain Marquis grandpa opened his lared his ith a sharp look
“Nothing e Ganossa-sama rode in had one of its wheels fall off, and he alht’ve even died if so”
“What did you say?”
Shocked voices caht it’s an accident due to the decaying of the material at first, but there’s some suspicious parts about it Prince Kae accident… Do you have any ideas, Prime Minister-dono?”
“There’s no way I would have any I find it confounding that you would even consider asking ”
“Is that so…”
While laughing, the eyes of the Northern Mountain Marquis never left the prie simply an accident? Or…
I looked at Her Holiness the Pope again, but as expected, she only returned a small sideways shake of her head
There shouldn’t be any reason for the prime minister to kill Prince Kahter, for one
“… Let’s take a break for now”
When the Ferzen king said that, the people in the roo
I leaned back against my chair and let out a breath The tension just nowat each other and stuff, you know
I drank the tea prepared by the , so I’h) Delicious It’s like Eashen’s tea, but also a bit different On the side, Sakura iswhich acco-sama, try some?”
“This one? Hee, it’s pretty nice”
“Un Want to bring sohtly The tension that lingered in the roo, ashis arms, turned to look at us who have calmed down (Note: Fuyuhara-sensei do” in the raw, lol Guess nobody told hi just now, Sovereign?”
“Nothingthe truth, both sides also have parts that I’ anywhere”
“My apologies Me being here turned out to be rather useless…”
“Ah, no, it’s not Your Holiness the Pope’s fault…”
The Ferzen king hurriedly consoled Her Holiness the pope, who had her shoulders dropped in dejection As I was sht—
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The scream of a woman came from outside While there is a soundproof barrier in this roo outside, and outside sound can normally be heard by people in this room
The scream cah I immediately threw open that door and juroup of people was gathered at a place further down the hallway A wo in front of an opened door The scream earlier was probably from this person
When I ran into the roo face-down on the floor greeted me With a puddle of blood on the carpet beside him, the identity of the man, who had already breathed his last, is none other than the Southern Spring Marquis, Navait Chelmin…
