Chapter 36 – I Didn’t Wish For Such Growth
「I will listen to papa!」
As I have received the decree of Emperor Filia, I have decided to begin with the reforms.
By the way, my position in the country is now「Super Important Person」. (It’s a new official post Filia has made)
「First, all hostages are to be released. Every va.s.sal state that has been colonized by this fellow are to restore their independency」
The representatives of the countries make a stir.
「I, is that the truth……?」
「H, however, as expected, it isn’t unconditional……?」
「No, it’s unconditional. Far from that, we will pay reparations. All countries have been forcibly robbed, after all」
「Reparations!? Not us, but you are going to pay!?」
「Wh…… what!」
Each country representative gets shocked by my proposal.
However, now, the officials of this country panic.
「I, if you do that, our country is going to decline this time……!」
「War expenditures costs a lot of money, you know……? 」
「I won’t permit talking back!」
Zugo~n! (←Sound of Filia stomping the floor)
「「Hiiii……」」
「…… I, I have a plan regarding that matter. Rath~er, in the first place, the useless expenses of this country――」
――Maa, just like this I have made several drastic cuts and reforms.
Naturally, I have no experience with governing, but with skills like〈Pinnacle of Domination〉and〈Pinnacle of Prediction〉I can’t go wrong.
Also, Filia is only a temporary Emperor so I have to prepare a suitable successor.
The candidates for the next Emperor are the Imperial Family that ruled before Light came.
Even though they are the first choice, most of them are sc.u.m, though they are not Light’s match.
「Therefore, we have decided on you!」
「Deci~ded!」
「E, eeeh, m, m , me desu kaaaa?」
The one we chose from the lined-up royalty and n.o.bles gave out a scream.
The 8th Prince of the Emperor Light has stolen the throne from.
He’s still a 12 years old boy.
Rather, otokonoko.
Glittering silver hair and lovely blue eyes. A small and slender body.
Facial features n.o.ble and sweet. No matter how I look, he looks like a girl.
His name is Gina.
「That’s right. You are the next Emperor, Gina」
「W, why me desu ka……?」
She, not, the question itself.
He’s low in the inheritance line, his mother is a commoner, moreover, he doesn’t have any special talent――Too ordinary.
Normally, he wouldn’t have any chance to get on the throne.
But, I told him with confidence.
「Cause you are cute」
「On what reason are you deciding――――!?」
Tira inserted a tsukkomi.
「Not. Umm, it’s that. That. Right. My senses were tingling」
「Ha, haa……」
Actually, it’s the result of〈Pinnacle of Appraisal〉.
