Chapter 199 - Volume 9 (2/2)

……But…that?

“Grandfather, I was told before that I was the sixth in line of succession…..”

My uncle was first, Timothy was second and Rick was third. My father dropped down to fourth place, and the ‘royal brother’ was fifth, as I recall…….

“Christopher is an idiot!”

My grandfather suddenly yelled. I wouldn’t even be surprised if a crazy man was to attack with all his might. I don’t know why but this kind of thing freaked me out.

“Yurushia.”

“Yes?”

I turned around when I was approached by my uncle, and he nodded slightly to my father before opening his mouth.

“Christopher is already no longer royalty, having his royal brother’s position and claim to the throne annulled because of his daring to rebel against the royal family. …Well, they won’t admit it, but they’ve already been notified. So Yurushia will be the fifth in line of succession.”

“…So that’s how it is. I am convinced. ……. So, is there another problem?”

The color of the faces of my uncle and dad were not good. So I asked them again, and now my father continued the explanation.

“We didn’t know what to do after the notice, but as the royal family, we could not leave the fifth place blank and still make Yurushia the sixth…… Sorry.”

“…… What do you mean?”

“With Yurushia now fifth in line, it is possible that Christopher and his supporters who were originally fifth may have a grudge against Yurushia…..”

“Oh~”

That was great~ I was so nervous thinking that there was a problem with my behavior.

“Why are you feeling relieved there…?”

“Eh? But there’s no problem, right?”

When I replied matter-of-factly, Rick poked me lightly in the forehead.

But the only people who weren’t shocked were Rick and Noel who knew me well. While my father, my uncle, and the knights in the guard were somewhat dumbfounded.

Ah… Depending on how you look at it, does it look like I don’t care for the Southern Army? But I felt like it’s really too late to try to be scared of them now.

“Now, Brother Rudrick, Count Barnabas, shall we go?”

“……..What?”

“Eh?”

“Wa- Wait a minute. Where are you going, Yurushia?”

I smiled and gracefully picked the hem of my skirt as my fathers called out to me a bit hurriedly.

“My great-uncle is close by, isn’t he? As a Princess and the fifth in line of succession, I’ll go talk to him in person.”
