My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 11. Candidate for the Next Emperor (5)

“Prause, what the hell are you talking about?”

“I’m still grateful to you for saving our daughter’s life, but you really don’t like the guy.”

Sure. I do not know.

I’ve said it over and over again, but it was never my intention.

Even though I look like this, I have always been a polite person in the other world. I never treated anyone higher than me.

But when I came here, because of one skill called facial expression management, I was eating all sorts of curse words. Damn.

Ella is restless. She apologized to her inwardly as she alternated between her me and her own dad again and again.

I ripped off her magic scroll and texted her so she could come in comfortably, but I’m sorry I bothered her.

“Where did my family look like barbarians on the frontier?”

Glare Todia gets up from her seat.

It is a tremendous sense of intimidation.

Honestly, I don’t know, but I feel like I’m strong.

“That can’t be. Isn’t the Todia family a military family that represents the Empire? I thought that winning Dalian would make it easier to talk about.”

I said this, but in fact, apart from the engagement, I was thinking of shunning the Todia family.

I intended to instill in them the idea that they would never win if they fought against us.

Even if the fact that I killed the black dragon tells me my level, he probably knows that it’s not absolute.

Certainly, no one will readily agree to it without a fight. So, it was my intention to get down on my knees and start.

Because the fight started from the moment I entered Princess Seri’s power.

First of all, the left and right arms of Prince Chris’ forces, Grand Duke Rexton and Grand Duke Todia, break their left and right arms.

I’ve already played a trick on the Grand Duke of Rexton, so I’ll use my discretion.

From noble mtl dot com

I want him to choose neutral, but in fact, it was not something I could do with him.

He is a man who controls the economy, one of the pillars of the empire.

He was a person who must be used by the next generation regardless of who he sided with in the succession war.

The same goes for other families.

So, the only thing I could do for the Todia family was to entice them into thinking that they couldn’t win in a fight and make them shrink.

“Ha, you seem to be in high spirits just because you caught the black dragon alone. I’ve always thought it was rude, but it’s really the worst.”

“Then I will ask you, Grand Duke Todia. Can you kill the black dragon alone?”

“… ….”

I can’t answer.

It has to be. Right now, his magic level is still only 6th tier.

If he had been close to the 8th tier, he would have been able to subdue the black dragon while receiving assistance from those around him.

“Why the hell did you come here? Did you come to make me feel inferior?”

“I’m sorry if you took it that way. I came because I wanted one thing from the Todia family.”

“What do you want?”

“Princess Seri’s engagement, I want you to make it happen.”

You don’t have to say it again.

Since Duke Tori visited the imperial palace to teach Princess Seri, there was no choice but to find out.

“…… What?”

His expression becomes grim. Standing in front of me, Glair’s light-colored hair swayed slightly.

The fact that his hair swayed even though the windows were closed meant that the air was shaking due to mana.

In other words, it meant preparing to use magic.

“How dare an outsider, even a commoner, engage in an engagement between a noble and an imperial family?”

“Dad… Calm… ….”

“Stay still, Ella!”

Ella intervened to try to make things right, but she only got yelled at.

I’m sorry.

Speaking like this is to be criticized even if you are polite, but it felt like I was getting more angry when the image was at its worst.

Even if that were the case, could it be any different?

I had no intention of going back.

In the next two months, I will definitely bring her to her noble council. And she will make the Emperor stand out.

The succession war is what happens when an emperor dies.

At least until then, I was thinking of standing out and solidifying my position, as well as raising the rank of the right of succession.

Even though Crown Prince Chris currently holds the first right of succession, if the emperor knew that I belonged to Princess Se-ri, he would think like this.

It’s an opportunity to use the full power of the empire.

This was an advantage beyond anything else.

It’s no different from being able to solve the demon problem at once.

So, if the princess had only her knowledge, she might be able to fight for her right to succeed by putting her wisdom and our existence first.

Although, of course, her biggest problem was that she was a ‘woman’.

Anyway, since I had made up my mind to set her up as her ‘direct her’ emperor, she had no intention of stepping down.

“Then let me ask you one thing. Was the engagement really agreed upon by the princess tax collector? Or did Prince Chris forcefully agree? Which one?”

“You bastard… …. What do you know?! Only me and the prince know about that story! Where the hell did you get the information from?”

In the game. Whoops.

“It would be difficult to say that at least the parties agreed that only the two knew.”

Though Acher Todia, the second son of the Todia family, wouldn’t be like that.

Even though she is evaluated as incompetent, the position of the princess cannot be ignored. Because she is definitely from the royal family.

In addition, it was very graceful and elegant.

In modern times, it is said that a spouse must also have ability, but in the Middle Ages, there was no problem with a woman as long as she was pretty, so it would have been perfect as a companion.

“That… ….”

“I know. If Princess Seri and Acher Todia get married, the Todia family will be able to gain more strength, and the crown prince will not be shaken by becoming emperor himself. It’s a win-win transaction.”

In this day and age, it is safe to say that marriage is a conglomerate family that marries only for money. In fact, he is also a chaebol.

“You know everything. So you’re trying to sabotage our deal after all?”

Even if I don’t interfere, there will be interference.

I wonder if the other princes will stay still. I know for sure you’ll kill yourself.

“Yes.”

“By what right do you have it?”

“By right, the power of the princess tax collector.”

“…… What?”

I took a step closer and looked straight into his face.

His pupils wander. It seemed that the accident could not keep up with the unexpected words.

“I think Princess Se-ri is a person worthy of an emperor. That’s why I’m trying to stop her engagement.”

“hahahaha… ha ha ha. Not other princes, but the princess? Does she mean that incompetent princess?”

It feels bad to be openly ignored even though I am not.

“Should I make a bet?”

“A bet?”

“Who will be the next emperor?”

Glare stares at my face.

“Where does that confidence and trust come from? What connection do you have with the princess in the first place…….”

“Relationships are not important. I made her decision to push her, and for that it matters that I stand in her place. So, do you want to make a bet?”

“I don’t make such pointless bets. And I won’t break off the marriage after listening to you.”

“Do you really think so? It would be disappointing if you could only see numbers like that.”

I deliberately snorted at his words. Glare’s forehead narrows and wrinkles form on her forehead.

“This bastard has a pierced mouth…… !”

“As long as I intervene, that engagement will never be consummated. Whatever you do.”

Quick.

My provocation seems to have completely blown away his reason, so his breathing becomes rough.

Oops, did I cross the line too much…….

“What are you going to do now! It would be impossible to avoid being executed right away! Hello!”

The knights waiting outside burst into the parlor.

“Did you call, Grand Duke?”

“Get these guys right now! They are traitors!”

“Dad! Crawl-“

I stretched out my arm to restrain Ella. I didn’t want to see her get hurt by interfering.

I fully expected this level of conflict. Just looking at my words, it is clear that disputes will be sweet.

Still, I couldn’t be pushed back here.

“Catch me? Me? You are cheeky.”

I opened my eyes to see the knights appearing behind me.

[Activates the skill 「Living」.]

The knights swallowed their breath and began to tremble.

“Keuugh!”

“What is it like to live…… !”

“Glare Todia, are you really going to try it?”

Because I started a fight first, I was completely wrong.

I feel sorry, but I couldn’t back down because it was a matter of life and death.

“Queup!”

“You wouldn’t benefit from coming out like that, right?”

“You bastard is trying to turn the Grand Duke of the Empire into an enemy. Do you know?”

I’m free to live. I have to rectify the situation.

“I don’t want to do this either. But I have no choice but to break the engagement.”

“I said no to that.”

“I see. That way the deal won’t work. Then let me make a suggestion.”

“A suggestion?”

“Isn’t the Todia family a military family? Do sparring The side that wins in Dalian will grant the wind.”

“Ha, why am I missing the other party’s advantageous offer?”

“I don’t think the crown prince would think so, right?”

“What?”

When the crown prince is mentioned, he is taken aback.

“It is to lift the wind. If you had made this proposal to the crown prince, what do you think he would have said? Without hesitation, he will tell you to join his forces and be loyal to the Empire.”

Of course, the moment I go under him, everything will go to worst.

Knowing that, I have no choice but to throw out this offer.

If I want to steal something from the other person, I’ll have to bet something worthy of it.

“Even so, how many people do you think can handle your brute force alone? In the first place, it is standard not to engage in unfavorable fights.”

“Don’t worry. Because I will not participate in this sparring.”

“What?”

“The children who will participate are my students.”

I pointed at the warriors who were standing far behind.

“You’re going to set those young kids up for Dalian?”

“Don’t ignore me because I’m young. Because those kids are stronger than me.”

It was like eating rice.

“The teacher is a liar.”

“You don’t have to be humble in front of us.”

“Master, is that a deception?”

“…… No.”

It’s true. Nobody believes

“How are you? If you don’t accept this offer, I have no choice but to go find the crown prince. When I visited the crown prince, of course, I’m going to say that Todia turned down the offer because she was scared.”

“I’m afraid…… ? Do you think the Todia family will be afraid of the common people and other races?!”

I couldn’t hide my excitement when I heard that I was scared.

“Then you can consider accepting the offer.”

I called for joy in my heart.

I’ll have to break off the marriage first, and then I’ll deal with it later.

He took a hard line to make Princess Seri her emperor, but she couldn’t live with the Todia family forever.

Once she is crowned her emperor, she will have no choice but to accept the help of House Todia, whether she likes it or not.

I feel sorry for Ella.
