100 [2-34] Understanding modern physical language (2/2)

In other words, I want to be the backer of the 'other crown prince'. If I do say so myself, I'm only popular with the people, you know.

”Hmm. ......

After Bertil finished speaking, Alfio drank the rest of the tea.

He had put in too much honey, and the remaining honey was pooling at the bottom of the cup.

Will it really work?

I don't know if it will. I don't know if it'll work, but it has a chance. First of all, Noachurio's army will soon be in retreat.

Alfio's eyes widened at Bertil's confident words.

”...... What?

I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I've heard of it.

Why?

I'm sure you're aware of that.

”...... You don't mean the Rose Princess of Hell?”

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

I'm not sure what to say.

”Everyone already knows the story of how the Rose Princess of Hell captured the capital. Even a child can tell that she has that much power.

But... The fact that the ”Rose of Hell” is trying to cut off logistics to drive back the Noa Curio army is news that brings even more despair.

It's not just a bunch of dangerous demons. It's a ...... army.

The current Noachurian army is fragile underfoot. They probably won't be able to hold their ground here.

If I were the Rose Princess of Hell, I would attack Teiracaines as soon as the Noachurian army retreated. If possible, I would aim to kill the Marquis and His Highness, but even if not, the Marquis of Edfelt would be naked as soon as Teiracaine-is declared a surrender. Even if he didn't, the Marquis of Edfelt would be completely naked when Teiracaines was attacked. He would lose the power to push His Highness.

In the event that you've got a lot more than one of these, you're going to be able to get a lot more than one of these. It is conceivable that the princes who once sided with the Marquis of Edfelt may begin to take an opportunistic stance.

--And René-chan will let the Gilesh Hathar army off the hook, but if the Noachurian army comes back, he won't spare them.

Bertil added in his mind.

It's a dicey situation to bet against His Highness. But I can't just sit around and wait to die. Therefore, I am going to push the lords who still have ties to the Federation.

”Hmm. ......

But even if I try to contact the princes for that purpose, all communications on the communications station will be known to the Marquis of Edfelt. It's not natural for me to leave this city, so it's difficult to contact them from elsewhere. So I would like to ask you to somehow contact him from elsewhere on my behalf. I'm sure the Marquis Berger will listen to me.

Wait.

I'm sure the Marquis of Berger will listen to me.

Why don't you come in?

A young girl with blue hair and eyes appeared without a sound of footsteps. It was hard to say what it was about her, but she had a Federal look about her.

Bertil got the impression from her that she was like a block of iron. Cold, without the heat of life. This kind of atmosphere is familiar to me.

”......, is she from Giresh Khattar?

”Yes, she is the daughter of an old friend. There's nothing to hide now, is there?

You're a very bad person for letting me eavesdrop. You've been in a relationship with a federal agent for two generations, haven't you?

When Bertil revealed his hand, Alfio responded by revealing his hand as well.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can't see the truth. Half of you are surprised, and half of you are thinking, ”Well, that could happen.

It doesn't matter if you're dealing with a friendly country (or a vassal state?). Even if you are dealing with a friendly (vassal?) country, you still need spies.

To make a submissive more submissive. To squeeze more out of a dupe. And to monitor the country for any change in policy. It is important to understand the situation of the country and to conduct espionage against people.

Although, thanks to the coup, the country has become almost hostile to the Federation.

I'll call you Shelly. I'll call you Shelly, since we can't have a conversation without a name.

She said her name in an inarticulate voice.

She had infiltrated Ciel-Teira in order to find out what was going on there, and she had probably relied on Alfio to help her.

”Mr. Bertil Lagerbeck, Second Knight Commander of the Royal Court of Ciel-Teira. If I may, I would like to have a moment of your time.

”This is quick. Then let's talk about the future of this country.

We'll talk about the future of this country.

After leaving the dojo, Bertil and Kaja walked back to the inn through the restless night streets.

Kaya seemed to be pondering something with a difficult look on her face.

”What's wrong, Kaya?

”Commander. Are you up to something nefarious?

I think the current situation in this country is already bad.

Kaya raised her eyebrows blatantly when Bertil said in a dismissive tone.

I think you're still hiding something.

You think I'm not hiding something?

”It's .......

Kaja was mortified.

He effectively affirmed Kaya's concern that he might be playing some secretive tricks to solve the situation.

Well, I don't think he's making a deal with the Rose Princess of Hell herself.

Haha, let's save as many people as possible. Let's protect this country. We're in a desperate situation, but if I give up, we won't be able to save what we can.

And for that, I'm counting on you.

”Commander ......

Kaya followed Bertil while he replied in a dumbfounded tone.
