64 Twenty-four, second emperor. (2/2)

What's to stop me from inheriting it?

I don't know. But if he says so, then it's settled.

The three of them were having a conversation when the Emperor appeared before the nobles.

”I thank you all for coming here today for my son Cliff.

I know there are things people want to know sooner than these insignificant greetings.

But first, there's something you need to hear.

Lately, there have been rumors that my daughter Shelia has been kidnapped: ...... This is true.

Some of the noblemen were coming to the party and started buzzing.

”The culprit is Melissa, Cliff's mother.

They got her and she's in jail.

The aristocracy just got louder.

No way. ......

What are you going to do now: ......

And so on and so forth.

Did he have some kind of black connection to Mr. Cliff's mother?

'So, ...... I'm going to announce who the next emperor will be.

shuddering

The house went silent.

Cliff is the next emperor.

What?

What do you mean?

Why?

The nobles instantly went into a tizzy at the emperor's announcement.

''Quiet!　Cliff had nothing to do with the kidnapping.

And he would have turned himself in as soon as he learned of his mother's wrongdoing.

I've decided to make him an emperor with that sense of justice.

Now I need him to have a stronger sense of justice than ever before.

And I'll have Cliff under observation until he becomes emperor.

That should be no problem, right?

Then the emperor turned to Mr. Cliff.

Then Cliff stepped forward and bowed.

”From now on, I will work hard for our nation to atone for my sins.

I'm only a novice, but I hope it's a pleasure.

When Mr. Cliff's greeting was over, applause began to be heard in places and spread throughout.

And when the applause ended, the emperor stepped forward again.

”And there is one more thing that has happened to tell you all.

In fact, it's been decided that Shelia will be engaged to Leonce Forster.

Leonce has done two great things in his career, and this is his contribution to solving the kidnapping.

A formal reward will be announced at a later date.

That's it for me. Well, enjoy the party.

As soon as the emperor's story was over, the aristocrats began to buzz about it.

”d*mn it ......, House Forster again.

I'm not even ten years old yet, am I right?

And then they started talking about me.

Cliff seems to have flown out of the aristocrat's head.

That's great: .......

I'd be interested in it, but ......

Hey, what's going on?

I didn't hear you two getting engaged!

The two guys next to me grabbed me by the shoulders and questioned me.

This is just a pain in the ass.

And they continued to question me for the rest of the party.

SIDE:?

So, what do you want to hear?

Yes, ...... as expected, the brave man is dead. And ...... the killing of the person who appeared to have the ability to do so was unsuccessful.

'So ...... so?　Was he, Leons Forster, a gifted man?

Yes, I'm sure.

'Well, ...... this hasn't happened in a long time and now you can go home.

You can go home now that you know what's important.

Next time, don't screw it up, Allen.

Okay. Let's go to .......
