Chapter 69 (2/2)

“So you were being used by Lady Ellia and Marquis Maeria… That is certainly plausible, but, were that the case, you would have stepped away after using your power to perform the necessary actions Instead, you maintained your role, so I have to conclude that you had some other motive” (Alfred)

“…” (Pope)

Wilmotz’s mouth opened and closed repeatedly like a fish out of water… His rebuttal does not see

“From the start, your aim was never to sully Iris… Well, it would not have required you to take such extreme measures if that were your sole purpose, so the purpose of all this has to be greater than just her Your aim was to temporarily stop the Prime Minister, Louis, and have all political focus shi+ft towards him This would then allow Divian and that faction todown the supplies from the Armelia house and their influence, Divian would help spread your influence to other countries, and you were hoping to gain h those channels Oh, you do not need to answer, by the way; your words have no influence” (Alfred)

“If you have figured everything out already… why…?” (Pope)

“Why? Do you e of the situation and to thank you for having self-destructed Because of your actions, I was able to rid the country of many of our resident leeches” (Alfred)

“You have worked very hard, your Highness” (Rudy)

… da this point up

“Well, I did have her take the brunt of the hardshi+ps, so I have an obligation to help her in return” (Alfred)

“No, you did not have any real reason to do so In fact, it would have been the perfect opportunity for you to reduce the Armelia household’s power, but, in the end, you still aided her; in fact, you helped her gain even more influence” (Rudy)

“… Do you have a problem with my methods?” (Alfred)

“No, no! Haha… I believe now you can consider the Armelia household and all of the other neutral factions associated with them to be on your side” (Rudy)

Indeed I have heard from the reports that et in touch withthat was to thank you for lending a hand to hness” (Rudy)

“… I did not do it for your sake” (Alfred)
