Chapter 104 (2/2)
If there were a lot of rebels, it would be difficult to handle.
By working in minority, they could bite a lot more. That was perhaps their true intention.
Besides, even if it's a 『Rebellion』, That does not mean that they were thinking of killing Her Highness Princess nor doing an armed revolt. If they do such a thing, most of the n.o.bles, the military officers, and the people will turn against them, and they cannot claim the kingdom as theirs. In conclusion, there cannot be that many rebels in one group.
At best, after weakening Her Highness Princess' authority by pretending to be loyal and distracting her a little bit, they had only been currying favour with His Highness Prince who is not yet involved in the management of the kingdom due to the fact that he is still young. They were probably thinking of using the prince while being his supporter after he inherits the throne from the late king.
However, as it is now, even if His Majesty has demised, they cannot conduct their deeds freely as the one who takes the baton of command now is the skilled Her Highness Princess. Therefore, they were trying to make a big lost for the princess, while also taking the new weapon manufacturing method, the princess from the neighboring kingdom and the Princess Shrine Maiden.
They were probably thinking that after that platoon secures the new weapon and prisoners of war, those from the Ministry of Military Affairs will attack and kill all the perpetrators so to close their mouths, getting a feat for saving the Princess Shrine Maiden and the others, the new weapon will be missing but turns out it's being ma.s.s product secretly in their own territory, and such….
Well, it's not something that can be made that simple but, it can't be helped if they don't know it yet.
And, there's nothing can be done for the people who are behind the scenes as they are keeping a perfect control to not conduct anything that will invite a large amount of witnesses and evidences that is similar to declaring a war against other kingdom, in other words flagrante delicto, that is a revolt against the royalty. However in truth, that is the perfect chance for Her Highness Princess Remia and her supporters.
Well, if it was true, it would be a situation where the other kingdom could overwhelm and leave their kingdom into a politically difficult position.
It was fortunate for the Dalisson Kingdom that this delegation had originally intended to solidify the position of Her Highness Princess, and that the leader was Earl Covemainne, who emphasized the relationship between the two kingdoms, and also a great influence from me as well.
Truly, it can be said that it was a lucky situation which they hadn't think something like this would happen.
At the end of giving the orders for the capture, Her Highness Princess has decided to complete the first stage quickly. The rest of things such as investigation and the others can be continued slowly.
We didn't need to be there for a long time so after checking Her Highness Princess' room, the veranda, and the roof appearance for a while, we immediately take our free time-….
(Remia) 「Now now, don't say like that!」
-and were detained by the princess.

Well, because it's getting dark, it's no wonder that the princess, who doesn't know about Big Lorry, restrained us. I also have decided to be in her care for only one night as I'm reluctant to travel on a not-yet paved road in the dark night.
