Chapter 86 – Balkan Civil War (4) *Empress Diane Illustration
Balkan Civil War (4)
“That… That can’t be possible!! How can His Majesty, who was obviously having a normal conversation with me just a moment ago…?”
Liechtenauer asked, but Marquis García only shed tears with a sad expression.
“The leader came out, and as soon as I entered, he wrote a will and then couldn’t control his anger and vomited blood…”
Upon hearing Marquis García’s report, the Crown Prince, Prince Lee, and even Liechtenauer hurried into the inner room.
And all that was visible there was the body of King Karl III lying on the bed, vomiting blood, and the blood-stained will.
“Your Majesty!! Your Majesty!! So suddenly…”
“I’m sorry… I should have looked more carefully… As soon as he completed the will and stamped it, he vomited blood and collapsed… I called the doctor, and he said he was already dead… God, please punish me!!”〈 Br〉
When Secretary Marquis García got down on his knees and asked for forgiveness, the Crown Prince took him by the hand and helped him up.
“Whew~ It’s not the secretary’s fault… We should first publicize His Majesty’s death and hold a funeral first.”
“Then the next emperor will be…”
As the Marquis García began to cry, Heinrich suddenly intervened.
“Brother! Shouldn’t we check His Majesty’s will first? Even though you are still the crown prince… I don’t know what it will say in the will.”
“… In principle, the emperor’s will must be confirmed during the funeral, but… I guess there’s nothing we can do this time. Count Liechtenauer! Please become a notary.”
Liechtenauer expressed his respect and agreed to the crown prince’s request, and Marquis García held the will and read its contents.
“Then, let me read Your Majesty’s will. B. Karl III, Emperor of the Balkan Empire, informs you that Prince Heinrich is the rightful successor to the Empire… It only says.”
Jump up!
As Marquis García finished speaking, Prinz’s head dropped and Heinrich’s shoulders rose. And at the same time, Rich Tenauer also jumped up.
‘No… This is ridiculous! This is manipulation!’
“Commander of the Knights of the Guard? Do you have something to say?”
Hearing Heinrich’s words, Liechtenauer glared at Marquis García. However, Marquis García looked the other way at Lichtenauer’s eyes and kept wiping away his sweat, so Lichtenauer noticed that he had falsified his will.
‘Holy shit… Because Your Majesty defeated everyone except me… No one heard the conversation between me and Your Majesty. If I insist on it alone, it will only lead to people saying that I am falsifying the emperor’s name…’
But there was nothing he could do at the moment, so he decided to take a step back and watch Prinz’s response.
Haha, did you hear, brother? Your Majesty, no, your late father, His Majesty, recognized me as the heir to the empire. You are now just a subject to me. Well… I am responsible for tarnishing the dignity of our royal family, but… If you quietly pledge your loyalty and step down, I will let you spend the rest of your life with that monster bitch in a suitable territory. Haha.”
Prinz and Liechtenauer frowned at Heinrich’s attitude of laughing even though his father had died.
“You bastard! Your father is dead, but you are laughing and saying you will become emperor? Someone like you will never sit on the throne! I do not recognize you!”
Despite Prinz’s shouting, Heinrich smiled calmly and showed a relaxed attitude.
“Huh~ Then what are you planning to do? Are you going to commit treason now? Commander of the Knights of the Guard! As the rightful heir to the throne of Balkan, I command you to do so! Cut off this man’s head right now…”
Heinrich’s command was stopped by Prinz’s remarks.
“No! You are not yet the heir to the throne! As the emperor of the empire, I request Rishkar from you!!”
“What… What? What is that?”
Marquis García, with a pale complexion, responded to Heinrich’s statement that he did not understand the meaning.
“Rishkar… Before the crown prince succeeds to the throne, a person who is dissatisfied with the succession raises an objection… It is certainly a legal procedure stipulated in imperial law, and private soldiers from noble families who support each other are gathered together to fight. It is a system that follows the winner’s opinion… Instead, the empire’s regular army or knights belonging to the country cannot participate in this battle.”
“Well… I’ve never heard of such a system? How did it happen? Marquis García!”
Heinrich was embarrassed and shouted at Garcia.
“Well… It’s definitely a procedure specified in imperial law… But it’s a system that’s been around since the empire was still a small kingdom in the Monster Mountains, and the most recent one was about 800 years ago. In fact, you could say it’s an unwritten law.”〈 Br〉
“But even if it has been made extinct, it is a strict imperial law!! I contest your succession to the throne, and you will not be the emperor of the Balkans until you defeat me!
“Keuuuuu any us us us us?
“Hmph! According to the Rishkar system, one of you and I must die. So, if you win, there is no need to save your life!”
The two brothers’ eyes clashed fiercely in the air.
“Marquis García! Postpone His Majesty’s funeral until half a year later! As you well know, Rishkar is given half a year to gather forces. So preserve His Majesty’s body well until the winner of Rishkar holds a funeral! “
“Yes… Yes, I understand. Your Highness”
“I’ll see you in half a year on the plain in front of the Adriatic gate. Heinrich. From now on, you are no longer my brother.”
“Who cares… Then I will cut your head off. Prinz”
The two people turned their heads at the same time and took steps towards their palace.
When Prinz and Heinrich disappeared, Richtenauer whispered into the ear of the Marquis García, who was constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead due to tension.
“Marquis García… According to the system of Rishkar or something, I, as the commander of the Knights of the Guard, cannot participate in this conflict… However, if His Highness the Crown Prince wins, I will personally kill your head in return for falsifying His Majesty’s will. I’ll blow it away”
Liechtenauer returned to his office, leaving behind Marquis García, who took the brunt of the master’s attack and urinated on the floor.
‘And obviously, when I saw His Majesty, he was fine… If you tried to kill His Majesty, it wouldn’t end with his head being cut off. Marquis García’
The death of Charles III, who had ruled the Balkans for the past 40 years, completely shook the empire. And when they heard that Prinz and Henry were going to war for the throne, the entire noble family turned upside down and began to worry about who they would support.
Heinrich’s Palace
“Holy shit!! You idiot!! You idiot!! Furthermore, you couldn’t even tell us in advance whether such a system exists or not!! Argh!!”
All of his subordinates were terrified as Heinrich threw all the furniture he could get his hands on, shouted, and fought hard. The Marquis García, who was involved, fell to the ground as he received Henry’s anger.
“Isn’t there some solution? Prinz has already made a fearful announcement that he will implement that damn system!! There is no one in all of Adria who doesn’t know about it!!”
When Henry, who had vented his anger on the Marquis García, asked for a solution, his subordinates began to give their opinions one by one.
“If we fight head-on, we will definitely lose. No matter how much of his authority has been diminished due to the scandal, Prinz was the crown prince until this morning, and that means there will be a lot of nobles following him.”
“At least a rumor has come out from the daily palace that Hiria divorced the crown prince. I will contact the Marquis of Deerwood.”
“We will see how much we can raise military funds through the Adriatic Merchant Association. We will buy all the mercenaries that can be purchased with money, and we will also look for mercenaries in Aalto and Mexican.”
“Even though Alto and Mexican mercenaries are barbaric, their combat skills will be reliable, so I think it will be okay. Shin will try to form a mercenary group centered on retired soldiers.”
Heinrich smiled with satisfaction at the enthusiastic appearance of his subordinates. Since he was a descendant of lower-class nobles who had been with him since he first sought the throne, their passion for success, regardless of ability, was believable.
Count Dietrich, the leader of their group and former finance minister, shouted at Heinrich, who was drinking with satisfaction.
“The biggest problem is Duke Windrage. Even if the Kent guy lost a lot of his strength in the last battle of Streve… Windrage is the strongest family supporting the Eastern Front. If he gets involved with Prinz, he has absolutely no chance of winning. “No”
“Hmph! The old lion is also a lion, so if you turn him into an enemy, he will definitely be tired. However, the Kingdom of Leon will stop him. After 15 days, the king of Leon will raise an army to put pressure on the eastern front, so the old lion will not be able to move!”〈 Br〉
“Yes. I will trust only your Majesty.”
“As expected of you, Your Majesty!! To prepare for something like this, you have arranged a marriage with King Leon in advance.”
When the subordinates called him “Your Majesty” As if he had already been enthroned as emperor, the bridge of Henry’s nose rose to the sky, and they toasted him as if he had already won a battle.
Unlike the busy palace of the second emperor, the night of the first emperor’s palace was quiet.
All of his subordinates departed for the capital and the provinces to persuade each noble family, and he was enjoying a drink while enjoying the skin of his beloved concubine Yunas.
But that peace was shattered by an unexpected visitor.
“Oppa! What on earth have you done? Hey, you’re giving up this division and enjoying a very noble hobby?”
The visitor who broke his peace was Princess Diane, so Prinz, who was enjoying the feeling of being alone in this spacious villa for a long time, dressed as a woman and spending time with her mistress, blushed at her.
“What’s wrong with my… My hobby?”
“What do you think? You just look like a pervert. Hello, Yunas? How about the dick I made bigger with alchemy? Are you satisfied?”
Yunas blushed at Diane’s harsh words but nodded her head. The only thing on this wide continent that could satisfy the prince’s strange taste was her(?) Body, but her small penis could not satisfy Prinz, and it was Diane who solved their secret concerns.
“If she wanted to become a woman so much, I could make her breasts bigger too. It doesn’t look good when she’s wearing that pretty dress, and it’s flat.”
“Noisy… Noisy! How many times do I tell you that I don’t want to be a woman, but that I like women’s clothes!!”
“Well… Anyway, that’s it… So you said you’re going to war with Heinrich? Is there a chance of winning?”
Prinz hesitated for a moment in response to Diane’s question, and then she answered.
“… If Duke Windrage is on my side, I will definitely win, but… Heinrich made a deal with Leon. It looks like he married Princess Rachel and made a contract with King Leon.”
“Well, the King wouldn’t have minded losing one of his brains while waging a political war with his daughters. Especially if he had decided to receive some territory.”
“Ugh… You stupid Heinrich!! How on earth can someone who wants to become emperor make a deal to give territory to an enemy country!!”
Diane let out a sigh as she watched Prinz vent her anger and handed her brother a piece of paper she had taken out of her arms.
“What is this?”
“It’s a share of the Adriatic Alchemy Association. Given your personality, you wouldn’t have created a slush fund somewhere… Don’t you think you’ll have enough money to raise military funds or mercenaries? If you use that as collateral, you’ll be able to secure quite a bit of military funds.”
Prinz was moved to tears by her unexpected help.
“… I’m sorry Diane. I can’t help her by being her brother, but I always get help from you.”
“With this much… I can’t help you more… Furthermore, I’ll go to Yuno’s territory with Hyria. If you win, I’ll come back… If Heinrich wins, I’ll have to live there with Yuno.”
When it came to Yuno, Prinz lightly laughed at her, recalling Diane’s usual behavior of putting her in her arms and not being able to live.
“Okay… You can take care of that… I’m sorry, but I have two favors for you.”
“Ah, if you’re sorry, don’t ask for a favor~ What is it? I’ll listen and decide whether to listen or not.”
Her thief was Diane, but Prinz knew she would do herself a favor.
“First… Princess Rachel escaped from Heinrich’s palace and asked for my protection. She is in a secret safe house in the capital. When you go to Juno’s domain, take her with you. There is also Princess Eliza in Juno’s domain, so it seems that they are sisters. Wouldn’t it be better if we stayed together? Yuno will return in about a year, so there won’t be any major problems.”
“You know what. It’s no big deal. All I have to do is temporarily alter your face with my alchemy, then disguise myself as my maid and take her away. What’s next?”
Prinz handed a small vial to Diane, who asked for her next favor.
“What is this? Blood?”
“Yes. I secretly took the blood that my father vomited when he passed away. Please check for any traces of poisoning. I could not find any traces of poison using the regular reagents in the imperial palace, but you can conduct a more detailed examination. “
“That’s right. But what if I’m poisoned?”
“… If it is not poisoning, if I lose in the round, I will recognize Heinrich’s throne. However, if it is true that Heinrich poisoned my father… I will somehow make Juno the emperor of this empire. When he dies, he becomes a vengeful spirit. Even if it’s just!!”
The willpower seen in Prinz’s appearance was enough to send a chill down Diane’s spine.
‘My brother, who is usually gentle, is acting like a man at times like this… Even though I can’t even reach Yuno’s toes… Ah, I miss Yuno~’
“I understand. I’m done asking, right?”
“Wait! One last time…”
“Ah! What! Two things?”
When Diane expressed her frustration, Heinrich walked up to her and patted her sister’s head, which was slightly larger than his own.
“You grew up beautifully, Diane. Because your brother lacks ability, he hasn’t been able to take care of you properly… And it seems like he will continue to do so in the future. No matter what happens to me, you will marry Yuno and live with her. Even though she is your older sister, she says she loves you, so what can you do? Haha. “
Diane’s face turned bright red at Prinz’s words.
“What… What are you talking about? That! Yuno is your younger brother! How can you marry Yuno…”
“If you don’t want to do it, just quit. I wrote a letter to Yuno asking her to accept you as her wife, but then I guess I’ll have to burn this letter…”
Thump!
“Hmm… Well, does that mean I have to burn it? Anyway, goodbye, brother. If possible, you will kill Heinrich! Fighting!!”
Heinrich was also her older brother, but Diane did not hesitate to tell her to kill her own brother.
Prinz smiled bitterly at her sister’s attitude, and after seeing Diane off, he went to her bed with Yunas.
