Chapter 33 (2/2)

That’s bad, at this rate the Duke will

‘Ba—n!’

At that ly

As expected that must have surprised him, as Leon-sama had halted his hand

The ones entering wereFather and Mother? Reinforcements?

Ignoring us ere surprised they headed towards the Duke

Doka!

“ku!”

The Duke didn’t receive Mother’s fist, but Father’s instead

The one responsible for hitting, Father, also seemed to hold his hand in pain

“You idiot! Why the heck would you do so like this on your own!”

Yelled Father at the Duke

“Funh, you know that, don’t you? Thinking for the sake of the country, this revolt, I ”

“Aah, you thought about it and ended up deciding to sacrifice yourself alone to protect the country, didn’t you?”

Nh? Protect, you say

Also, to become a sacrifice?

“What ridiculous things are youI tried to overn the nation e things such as sacrifying myself”

“Why have you always been such a blockhead, from the past, to try and advance on your own? I know that you, ood of this country I heard from the Vice-Commanderfrom your son, you know”

”fuu I even told him to stay quiet”

The Duke sat down on the floor as if a thread got cut

There was no trace of the vigour he had had until just before

“Ever since the past you really like to oat, don’t you?”

At some point Rachel-sama had walked over

“I bet because the roup that were unsatisfied with Leon grew too large, you realized that at this rate there would an actual large-scale upheaval, so you decided to act as the leader of that group and, by yourself, ensure that this insurrection would end in failure And on that note, in the hopes of lightning at least some awareness as royalty within Leon you even put up this little drama”

The Duke pulled a wry face upon Rachel-sama’s words

“You are reallyDidn’t you join in on that quite readily yourself” [2]

This is perhaps

Fro the Duke tried to make the revolt meet with failure?

That is why there aren’t any other nobles fro faction here, I see

“Aside from the, the lot that earnestly wanted to reetting captured by the chivalric order right about now You kno they are a bunch that have previously been getting their misdeeds revealed by Prince Leon, had their land confiscated and such, don’t you? I certainly do question Prince Leon’s ability to becoards to Ririina-jou, but those guys are just holding unjust resentment, after all”

Are?

But he really did try to kill me, didn’t he

Having revealed everything the Duke see to me

“Ririina-jou, and also Aren, I apologize To get you involved in so like this The one who had send those assassins for Ririina-jou ithout doubt, ainst thehter of that Liesa to get done in by soues”

Ah, so the Duke did know about my abilities

Moreover, he said so knowing Mother even

“Aren I have done so truly terrible to you and Anjiu I did intent to let you return to your Mother’s place after this revolt incident was over”

“You really are an idiot, after all Youlike this, isn’t that so?”

Aren-sa complicated emotions

To have his Father be turned into the culprit in such a situation

Panpan

Rachel-sama clapped her hands

“Now then, this pretend revolt is now over These soldiers are from your provincial army, aren’t they? Return to your territory As for the Duke as expected I can’t acquit hi helped avoid a large-scale uprising as well Let us talk about this st us old aquaintances, shall we?”

Against her words not allowing for any anse could but nod our heads [3]
