Chapter 99 (2/2)

……Huh?

The sound of creaky furniture seemed to fill the entirety of Earl Terejia’s office I only started noticing the sound after what see silence

“Unbelievable, could that really be?”

I couldn’t help but speak what the Earl was probably thinking already It’s only natural All I could think about was how unbelievable this was

“Does thisexiled from the royal family?”

“……That is indeed what it means if he becomes a monk”

Ridiculous How could such a ridiculous thing happen? And why now of all ti the position of crown prince was already inciteh for Planates before, and now this happens

And on top of all that, just why is he getting exiled fro, it’s almost as if –

“Could the royal fa for a war?”

When I muttered those words out in a daze, Earl Terejia’s eyebrow immediately arched upwards

“Be careful what you say”

I realized what I had just said, and I apologized for s I can’t say

Ever since the tidododom’s power has only been used to protect followers of the Xia religion War onlyother countries, and declaring war, our kingdom finds this unacceptable

“Well, I meant to say that this will probably becoible to inherit the throne, this is dangerously pushi+ng Planates, or I should say the Rindarl Union, into beco even more hostile”

The voice that ended co out of my own throat sounded terribly cold

Well, it’s only to be expected If Planates becomes an enemy country as well, as part of the eastern border defense line, Kaldia would be greatly affected

If war breaks out, I hardly have enough soldiers I can mobilize I’d have to conscript the citizens into the army and onto the battlefield It’s hard for the Kaldia arh soldiers, so conscription is the only method

Are ht? For such unclear reasons? A to have to force theh I had decided to compensate for my family’s sins to them?

“Calm down Those in the royal court will probably be able to persuade the king As one would expect, since nobles are in charge of their citizens, this is sonore Just like you”

Thanks to the earl’s coaxing, I was able to calm down, at least on the surface I just nodded back to him reflexively

……However, insideabout like a tornado
