Chapter 188 - Volume 9 (2/2)

The joy and enthusiasm of the commoners was the same even in the south where the rebels were established.

Normally for the commoners, any rebellion by their lords against their country, regardless whether it was led by aristocrats or merchants, would be frowned upon, especially by the most patriotic of them. They won’t even hesitate to voice their complaint loudly.

However, for the commoners of the Saint Country, a peaceful daily life and everyday prayer to God was the most important thing to them. They would just indifferently accept the change of lords and kings as a sign of the times, not making a great deal of the event as long as there’s no damage that was done to them.

But if it’s about Princess Yurushia, then it’s a different matter altogether.

As a member of the royal family, albeit only a member of the branch families, Princess Yurushia is a true saint who had compassionately helped the people including the poor and even managed to subdue the demon king. She is the pride of the country and the commoners are proud to be born in the same country as the saintess who had saved the world.

The rebel higher ups of the Southern Army headquarters and the Duke of Bellrose were hectic trying to block the information about Princess Yurushia’s return from being known to the people of the south. Princess Yurushia was just too prominent of a royalty among the commoners.

However, despite all their efforts, it was impossible to erase the information network of the Magic Academy branch and stop the merchants from gossiping. Thus, the story of the princess’s return soon spread so rapidly that the intelligence department themselves was surprised.

This is why there were repeated daily meetings with intelligence officers at the rebel headquarters of the Southern Army.

“It’s spread to way more people and much faster than I expected…. At this rate, all it takes is one word from Princess Yurushia to call out a disapproval against us and there will be a riot in the land.”

“……No, the Princess is an intelligent person. I don’t see why she would so easily cut down all the southern nobles…”

“What do you mean? No matter what, Princess Yurushia is still a royalty and no matter how intelligent the young princess is, she couldn’t ignore the request from her grandfather the King and her father the Duke of Verusenia!”

“The morale of the soldiers is going to be a problem. Even though the Heroes and the Holy Warrior on the king’s side alone are already frightening enough, the soldiers are at least still willing to fight. But I fear the moment they realize that the Princess has returned and might become our enemy, not to mention soldiers, even some generals will lose their will to fight!

“…Even I have no desire to have a problem with Princess Yurushia. She’s a true saint who has saved this country and the world!”

“That’s the problem! Even if the princess’s power is exaggerated, her fame is real! Even if we could somehow remove the princess from being an obstacle and take the throne, other countries will not accept it!”

“At the very least, the Kingdom of Sigeless which has close ties to the royal family would be against it. The armed state of Taterudo, who was friendly with the princess, might even launch a military invasion when it has such good cause.”

“Then what should we do!”
