Vol 2 Chapter 7 (2/2)
(A lot of speculation would probably start flying around I want to avoid putting Aura in a bad position)
Shefactions
That would be a perfect chance for those who are not pleased with her position
It would definitely attract criticism
When he saw Third Imperial Prince Brutar in the throne roo person
(Someone like that would easily be misled by the words of their retainers You could even say he would be easy to e though)
But in a way, it’s actually not a bad situation for Hiro
If Hiro can choose his words carefully, he can have him act in his favor
If there’s a chance of anything getting in his way, it would probably be the influential nobles who support him
(… There’s no point in thinking about it now First, I’ll etch faces and names into my head)
He avoided such troublesoo
He was always standing on the front lines and only returned to the castle a few times
The consequences for continuously evading such situations was great Which is why he abandoned everything and returned to “Earth”
But now, he can run no longer He made his bed, and now he has to lie in it
There’s a chance he may make a severe mistake due to his lack of experience
(Even still, I swore to continueforward)
Hiro stopped before a set of large doors There was a light of deter in his eyes
He passes through the double doors flanked by heavy infantry as the noise froh
It let him know that there were many nobles within
「I will enter from the eastern entrance I will see you later…」
Aura said in a s not to know Hiro
「…」
He looks away froaze to anearby
「I will enter first Thereafter, the doors will open frohness Hiro」
「Alright」
The maid disappears to the other side of the doors, after which, an to play
There’s a beautiful voice singing along to the music Perhaps it’s the maid that was just there with Hiro
『If everyone would please be quiet The person ill now be entering, is a descendant of his Majesty the Second E」, who also laid the foundation of the Empire as one of the Twelve Great Gods of Grantz, Fourth Imperial Prince Hiro Schwarz von Grantz』
The doors open Along with a bright light, a lively and elegant melody floods the hall and wraps itself around Hiro
Hiro squinted his eyes, took one step forward, then entered the hall with a light stride
Hiro is welcolances, but none of them call out to him
(I guess I’ll wait and see what happens first)
So he grabbed a glass of water and walked towards a large table lined with extravagant food
A nuets there
Every single one of the
Hiro pretends not to notice as he goes into thought…
(Hmm~… They’re really assertive, aren’t they?)
That’s basically the first iot from them
Their smiles somehow look superficial They probably can’t be trusted
One person froroup approached Hiro as their representative and bowed
「Your Highness Hiro Schwarz, it is a pleasure to meet you」
「Yeah, nice to meet you」
They exchange a handshake
「I—」
Theand winded, like a gloomy speech
「— I hope to see you again in the future」
To briefly suion
The western nobles are supporters of Third Imperial Prince Brutar
Although there were no problems this time around because his case was disht happen in the future
This is likely why they approached him, just in case
「Alright I’ll be sure to remember your name and face」
‘As someone I can’t trust,’ he said in his mind
That was just the beginning nobles gather around him one after another
Hiro beco with this
He was surrounded by nobles brihters’ hands in e and recommendations for sons as subordinates
He was able to get away fro not to show his fatigue in his expression, he leaned against a sofa by the wall
(There are a lotaround me than I expected…)
He throws back the glass of water in his hand in one gulp, then pokes his throat with his finger to release a suffocating feeling there
He looks around the hall and sees there are still nobles waiting and watching It sees
Hiro recalls the scene froh
(But… just as I thought, none of the central nobles under the Krone house are participating)
He isn’t surprised because it was as he predicted, but he was disappointed at the same time
Of the nobles who called out to hiht his attention the ion
(Having lost their head of the house, they were divided)
What he could sense fros they said, was that they were dissatisfied with their acting head of the house, duchess Kelheit
However, there are many who side with duchess Kelheit, and it looks like those two groups are about to split apart from disputes
(The ones who took advantage of this is the Krone house…)
It see their evil influence in an atteion
Having lost their solidarity, there is a chance the Krone house will take over the Kelheit house in the near future
If that’s allowed to happen… First Iet his hands on the throne
(… Nohat should I do from here on out?)
A shadow falls froht
He notices this, and when he looked up, there stood a woman in a scarlet dress
「Excuse me, do you mind if I sit next to you?」
She had golden, wavy hair which was tied behind her head which flowed down in front of her right shoulder Her bewitching blue eyes were looking down at Hiro
Her syaze
Boldly enough, her dress has slits up her thighs— Her beautiful legs peeking out froestive
Actually, there is now a co from the nobles around her
(But… I get the feeling that’s not the only reason)
Hiro thinks the reaction around them is suspicious
「Ahh, sorry My name— is Miste Kariara Rosa von Kelheit I was the for head of the Kelheit house It’s nice to make your acquaintance」
After finishi+ng her concise self introduction, the duchess put on a bewitching smile
「I see I can see why Liz is so worked up There’s the color of your hair and eyes too, but… you have an unusual face for someone of the Grantz Grand Empire」
Hiro didn’t let his surprise show on his face, but there was an unco down on his heart
