My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 10. The princess’s first love (3)

“When the empire is in chaos, if you step out, you might be able to find stability.”

I’m talking about it, but these are all things the warriors did, not me.

I thought I would do it all when the time came.

And defeating demons.

Being the power of Princess Se-ri in the succession war.

Everything.

‘The empire must be stable for me to live comfortably. I’m willing to help.’

“I will help. However, if I become hard to live with, I will have to step down from the position of emperor.”

…… ?

What do you mean by stepping down from the position of emperor?

I didn’t have the heart to tackle the filtering now.

However, as time passed, it seemed that the level of his tone was getting higher, to the point of giving me a headache that I hadn’t had before.

“What did you just say?”

The emperor’s question.

A murmur of knights.

I quickly roll my eyes to grasp the situation. It wasn’t an illusion that the filtering was f*cked up.

“Did I hear it wrong? You want me to step down from the position of emperor? Can I interpret that to mean treason?”

I couldn’t pass it off as a slip of the tongue.

This is because treason creates an enormous ripple effect from the moment it is spoken.

In any era or in any country, there has never been a case where a person plotting treason was spared.

So, what I have to say here is not to make excuses for mistakes, but to tell you the reason.

I was still able to fix it.

I don’t know how the damn filtering will change the words, but for now it was possible.

“You bastard… Dare to reveal your treason here—”

‘If the empire falters, others will surely appear, even if I don’t rebel. So please lead the empire well. I want to see an empire where everyone is prosperous.’

“So take care of yourself. Timbers who will become the next emperor.”

Really, how did my oral structure change?

I don’t know how many times I’ve been provoked since I came here.

“You son of a b*tch! What does it mean to be good when you openly say you will commit treason?! Your majesty! If you give me an order now, I will execute you right away!”

“Execution…… ? That’s not even funny. I’m sorry but you can’t execute me. Isn’t it? Emperor Lufen.”

“This, dog bird—”

“Ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

A cheerful laugh drowning out the escort knight’s words.

The emperor tilted his head slightly and laughed his audience room.

“Ah… What a great guy.”

“Your Majesty, this is no laughing matter.”

“It’s not something to be angry about.”

“Yes?”

Fortunately though, the emperor seemed to understand what I was saying.

…… You really understand, right?

“As Prause said, execution cannot be given.”

“Eh, why?”

“Because the demons are alive.”

As expected, he didn’t become emperor for nothing. Be wise

With the exception of the massacre of other races, he would have managed to become a recognized figure in the Empire.

“But shouldn’t rebellion be pruned in the bud?”

“Isn’t it said to be good? Doesn’t sound like a bad deal, given that he’ll solve most of the empire’s problems if we do well.”

“Your Majesty!”

“Anyway, the seeds of rebellion are already growing somewhere. That we can’t stop On the contrary, isn’t it more comfortable when it’s revealed like Prause? If there is a rebellion, you can just kill it.”

That’s obviously true, but…… Is there something wrong with the talking tail? Who wants to kill me?

Because it’s arrogant, just talk about it. Have you ever heard of a finger hammer?

“But the demons are not like that. I don’t think that we, who had a hard time even with the black dragon, will be able to defeat the demon king right away. You can’t just throw away the hidden card that can fight the demons just because of treason.”

Treason can be dealt with with the military, but it must mean that demons cannot be dealt with unless they are exceptionally human.

The knight eventually closed his mouth at the emperor’s logic. The other knights were also convinced, but they all looked at me suspiciously.

The response was that they knew I was strong, but I wasn’t sure if I was a trustworthy person.

“Originally, depending on the user of the sword, it can stab not only enemies, but also allies. On the contrary, when you say it like that, it makes me more trustworthy.”

It’s a sinister smile. After all, he is a wicked human being.

“…… So, is that all you have to say?”

“Yes. I was wondering what your thoughts were. Aside from being rude, it’s a relief that I’m not a person who’s more clogged than I thought. I would appreciate it if you would contribute to the prosperity of the empire in the future.”

“It’s up to your children to do it.”

“The tone is a bit strange, but it feels good, so I’ll move on.”

Resting his elbow on the handle of his left chair and resting his chin on his chin, the emperor lifted his mouth into a smile.

Ugh, if Urca saw that expression, she would have said she would cut her throat right away.

The reason that nobleman lived so long must have been because he was cursed at by other tribes.

“This is all I have to say to you. You may go back.”

“Not like that.”

I turned around without hesitation.

“Oh, by the way, I prepared a thousand gold coins as a reward for defeating the black dragon, so take it from him.”

The emperor speaks to the knight at the edge. The knight picked up the pouch from under his feet and strode towards me.

He carefully holds out his heavy pocket to me.

I accepted the money bag. Money is always right

It’s not bad if a total of 1,800 gold is the reward for defeating the black dragon.

It usually takes at least several months for an S-class adventurer to collect this much money.

“The moneybag has weight magic on it, so it shouldn’t be heavy.”

“I see. Make sure you use it well.”

I looked at the princess tax collector right before I packed the money and left. She was also staring at me.

I thought it wouldn’t be bad in that state.

Since there is a risk of being caught while making gestures to each other, should I go to my room?

* * *

After Prause left, Lufen immediately dismissed all the knights.

The knights were placed in preparation for Prause’s rampage, but fortunately the worst he expected did not happen.

All the knights leave and the door closes.

For a moment, there was silence in the huge audience room.

Suddenly, the emperor was showing the solemnity of the absolute, not the flexible feeling he had during Prause’s time.

Seeing his expression, the princes looked at her and looked at her.

“Now then… Let’s hear about the question I gave you before, ‘How to stably manage other races?'”

“Do you mind if I speak first, Obama?”

Chris raised his hand. Lufen looked at Chris’s hand, then turned his gaze to the farthest tax collector.

“Good. Oh, before that. Seri, you can go out. After all, a woman can’t be emperor. Even if it were, she couldn’t sit in this place because she was timid and incompetent like that.”

Perhaps Prause thinks so too.

Crying at the emperor’s added words, she raised her hand and tried to ask her to speak.

She can do it herself. You can’t disappoint Prause.

That’s what she meant to say.

But Seri couldn’t help but shut her mouth the moment her eyes met Chris’s.

I was suddenly afraid.

She knew, too, that by stepping out of this she would deny everything she had been obedient to until now.

Even more so, getting the right to speak meant that she would compete with her brothers for the position of emperor.

“…… Yes… Joe.”

That’s why she only put a innocent, innocent smile on her face like she always did.

She thought that she was ready for Prause’s words to become emperor. Stupid…….’

Seri, who had tightened her fist just enough to not see her trembling, turned her body around and left her throne room.

Seri took her stride to her own room. Her knights follow her naturally. She was a knight on Chris’s side.

“I don’t need an escort.”

“This is the name of Your Highness Chris.”

“…… Leave me alone.”

“No.”

‘Nothing goes my way. What is not incompetent Still, to see me as emperor……. It’s stupid.’

Seri stopped her steps and looked out of her window.

Outside of her, she was overflowing with freedom, but she was confined under the crown prince’s watch, and she saw herself unable to do anything. She thought she was like a slave.

From noble mtl dot com

‘It’s frustrating… ….’

She just wanted to live. She

She never wanted the emperor’s power, she just wanted to live her life quietly and happily with the person she loved.

But even that was not allowed, and her own position made her feel like she would shed tears.

Seri reached the front of her room under the watchful eye of her knights, and turned her body behind her.

“You’re not going to come into my room, are you?”

“… ….”

The two knights stared at each other for a moment, then nodded.

“You don’t have to worry. We’re just gatekeepers in front of Princess Taxi’s room.”

Seri, relieved internally by the words of her knight, opened her door and entered.

She never forgets to close and lock the door.

“Whoa… ….”

Back in her own room, she tried to dive into her bed with her mind at ease. If only I hadn’t heard your voice.

“Wait, princess tax collector.”

“F-Prause?!”

Seeing Prause sitting on the chair, the tax collector pointed at him and raised her voice involuntarily. He shuts her mouth up belatedly.

“It’s okay. It’s because of the soundproofing magic.”

Prause stroked the shiny blond elf’s hair while maintaining his typical expressionless expression.

Even though it looked like a rough stroke, there was kindness in that touch.

Maria smiled shyly at Prause who praised her.

Seeing that, the tax collector felt that Maria was loved by Prause, and somehow became “Jealous” Of her.

Sheri also has memories of being loved by many people when she was young, so she projected herself onto Maria without realizing it.

It was the craving for love that had dried up.

Seri also wanted to play a fool of Prause, who knew everything about her situation.

I wanted to tell you about the hardships I had so far, and I wanted to be comforted.

But I had no choice but to be patient.

It was because he was not at that age, and he thought that his relationship with Prause was not one in which he could express affection openly.

“Didn’t you just leave?”

“I was teleported to another place for a while and came back here because I had something to say.”

“I see.”

From the emotionless voice, I could sense that he hadn’t come out of concern for himself, but for a purpose.

But she laughed to hide her melancholy. She could pass most of it if she smiled.

“What are you talking about?”

Prause looked at her for a while and muttered quietly.

“…… Go out.”

“Yes?”

“Isn’t it frustrating to be locked up all day? Take Mary’s hand.”

“Sekul has some nice scenery to see.”

“But there are knights outside… ….”

“It’s okay. Just have Maria put a spell on her door and make it go right back at her signal.”

“But… ….”

“You talk a lot unnecessarily.”

Prause grabbed Se-Ri’s wrist.

At that moment, her tax collector’s face turned red.

Seri’s only experience with a man other than her family was when she was dancing in a social setting. She

Even when she danced, she was obligatory, and she never harbored any personal feelings, so she was taken aback by the sudden touch.

Moreover, virginity in the Middle Ages was one of the most important parts of marriage, and it was considered impure to face the skin when it was not a relationship that promised a future.

It was only natural for her to be flustered.

“Ah, that, that, that…… !”

“…… Do I really need to take him?”

Maria looked at her publican’s reaction and asked bluntly.

The increasing number of other women around Prauss revealed her feelings that she did not like.

“I want you to suffer a little. Maria. Instead, dinner will be prepared with the menu you want.”

“… Hmm~ What! It’s Master’s request. Is it special?”

“Yes.”

Plaus makes the publican hold out his hand in front of Maria. Maria caught it. Her other hand held out in the direction of the door.

“「Sensors」.”

Casting a spell on the door, she said triumphantly.

“All right. Now, if someone puts their hand on the door, the signal will come right away.”

“Good. Then go right away.”

Se-Ri’s heart started pounding at the sudden outing.

After the competition to select the next emperor began in earnest, she was even more nervous because it was her first time leaving the imperial palace.

“You don’t have to be so nervous. It’s just consideration for the future ’empress’ who will lead the empire.”

“「Teleport」.”

At the same time Maria recited her skill, the figures of the three disappeared, and silence fell in the room.
