Chapter 412 – Side Story – Continued (15)
A few days after Flora noticed the relationship between the prince and the princess’s personal maid.
In the office of the Black Dragon Knights, a man was having a hard time.
He is Vomeros, the leader of the Black Dragon Knights… He was the adjutant of.
Although other knights say that the Black Dragon Knights are ignorant and have muscles all the way to their heads, they are definitely the best force in the kingdom.
And while it may be a one-on-one fight, battlefield-scale battles require tactics and strategies that go beyond simply strength.
The adjutant could be said to be the so-called staff member of the Black Dragon Knights who used such tactics and strategies.
Moreover, he was loyal to Vomeros, and was one of the few subordinates whom Vomeros, the most famous person, truly cared about.
He is like that now…
“No. Why is this working out so well?”
I was worried because things were going so well.
He and Vomeros had a plan when they returned from this expedition.
The plan was for Vomeros to become royalty by marrying the princess.
The king also thought that it would be beneficial if he could stop Vomeros’ rebellion by giving up the princess, so it was a plan that proceeded smoothly without any problems.
However, the adjutant anticipated what would happen next and was secretly making plans for Vomeros.
Will Vomeros be satisfied with just becoming a royal?
It wasn’t what the adjutant thought.
After becoming royal, I will definitely aim for more than that.
A higher position than royalty. In other words, he was definitely aiming for the throne.
Vomeros said he could be satisfied with just being royalty, but his lieutenant knew better. Although the adjutant changed it to ‘ambition’.
That’s why the lieutenant prepared a plan in case Vomeros said he wanted to become king.
The biggest obstacle to that plan was the presence of the princess’s older brother, the prince.
The king’s eldest son and first in line to succeed to the throne.
If nothing happens, the prince will become king.
In other words, if the prince is somehow removed or overthrown, the princess can inherit the throne.
Of course, even if that happens, it is the princess who ascends to the throne, not her husband, Vomeros… There were many ways to do something about that.
He was a lieutenant who was looking for a way to politically remove the prince since he could be killed and removed at any time.
“… Why?”
Nothing has been done yet, but over the past few days, forces supporting the prince have withdrawn their support several times.
Although it was a good thing, it was difficult to be happy without knowing the cause.
We hastily mobilized informants to gather information, but the Black Dragon Knights, who usually prefer to use force, showed a weak side in this regard.
This means that no useful information has been received yet.
The adjutant closed the report he was reading and waited for new information to come in.
Even today, the light did not go out in the adjutant’s office until late at night.
—————
Asil was in a very difficult situation.
There were more than one problem Asil faced.
The problem right now was how long I would have to stay in this dungeon. It may have been in the past, but Asil now has a daily life on Earth.
Although it was not as big as this problem, there were many other problems.
Among them, the problem that is bothering Asil right now is this.
-Please do something about them!
It was a conflict between the Royal Guard, headed by Asil, and the Black Dragon Knights, headed by Vomeros.
Due to the frequent encounters with the royal family, it was inevitable that the Royal Guard, which valued courtesy and dignity, would not get along well with the Black Dragon Knights, who prioritized military power.
When the Black Dragon Knights went on an external expedition, it was quiet because they were not immediately visible, but when they returned from the expedition, problems arose.
However, I didn’t really whine to Asil, saying, ‘Please do something about them.’ Instead, I received all kinds of ‘requests for mediation’ in a very formal and polite manner.
So it was more of a problem.
If it was just whining, I might have been able to overlook it, but it was difficult to ignore it because the guards were so quick that they had no need for official procedures like this.
But, so what should you do with me?
It was Asil’s honest thought.
If he was a real guard captain, he would have done something. It’s not the Black Dragon Knights, so they wouldn’t have taken the captaincy by force.
However, Asil was not the commander of the guard. He was just an ordinary college student in his early 20s who flew in from Hyundai. He wonders if he should change the word ordinary these days.
There was no way that Asil could have taken such high-level political action to mediate the conflict between knights.
The only politics Asil has ever done is in online games.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have at least taken a political skill lecture.
Asil recalled his academy days and regretted them.
Naturally, there was also a political skills course at the academy where children of nobles gathered.
Asil skimmed through the list of lectures, but if he had known this was going to happen, he would have taken them… It didn’t seem like it. Now, he wondered how helpful the lectures that children who had just become adults would be in real-life situations.
So, Asil chose a solution that anyone can use and is convenient.
“Ah. “This is delicious.”
Call your attention and spend enough time thinking about it so that you can turn your attention away from the problem at hand and look at it from a new perspective.
In other words, it was also called running away from a problem, or pretending not to notice.
Asil lay down in a suitable spot in a corner of the royal garden and soothed his boredom with the snacks he had secretly brought.
For reference, the source of the sweets was the princess’ room.
That Soira guy. I was eating this delicious food alone. Asil muttered inwardly and threw one of her cookies into her mouth.
I spent leisurely time enjoying the luxurious taste that spread in my mouth.
The more time you spend like this, the more work you will do as a guard captain, but what can you say? Everything will disappear when the dungeon ends anyway.
Warm weather, bright sunshine, moderately shaded garden and delicious snacks.
While Asil was enjoying his leisure time, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
Ah. Are you a gardener?
Because it had already happened several times, Asil was not embarrassed and quietly lamented as she half-raised her lying body.
No matter how much you know, it would be embarrassing to be caught acting like this. I was planning on staying away until the gardener returned and then returning.
“Hey. “Wouldn’t this be enough?”
“Okay. If we came this far, no one would come. Let’s kill time here.”
“I guess I can leave in about an hour. “I heard those guys are making a lot of noise because they trained.”
“So, that’s right. “It’s been a few days since you came back from the expedition, and you’re already training?”
He was not a gardener, but a fellow joker. Moreover, listening to what he said, it seemed like he was a member of the Black Dragon Knights.
The royal garden is strictly managed, so it is not a place where a single knight can enter. Do I have to be a leader or a lieutenant to be able to walk around as I please?
However, instead of coming forward and scolding them, Asil hid himself even deeper.
He didn’t want to cause trouble for no reason.
I wondered what would happen if they happened to come to Asil’s hiding place, but fortunately they didn’t come in anymore and just chatted a little away.
As the situation unfolded, Asil lay down and overheard the conversation.
He didn’t feel bad because it felt like he was listening to the radio. Although he was said to criticize the Royal Guard, he did not have any particular sense of belonging to the Royal Guard.
The topics I had been wandering around from daily life to women’s stories eventually reached my recent expedition.
“Really. Do you remember that witch doctor back then? There was a time when crazy people rushed in.”
“Ah. I remember. How can I forget how you rushed at me like it was a drug? “He didn’t even blink though his stomach was split open, it was creepy.”
“They said it was hypnosis. They said he made it that way by hypnotizing him with a spell.”
“Can you do that with hypnosis?”
“It makes you unable to feel pain, increases violence… Well, wouldn’t that work? I’m not sure. Anyway, that’s not what’s important right now. “Look at this.”
“What is this again? A club? But is there a bit too much decoration?”
“I was on the team that picked up that shaman. “I later stole what the shaman was using.”
“Then it’s a trophy. “If you get caught, won’t the captain kill you?”
“Under. Look how this guy’s head doesn’t turn. Does it matter now? “You can hypnotize me with this?”
“What? Then no way… ?”
“Yeah dude. It’s not about making those guys with red peppers run wild. Any woman can do whatever she wants.”
From this point on, the conversation devolved into a shallow conversation about which woman you would rather fuck than which woman sucks.
Various women became the objects of the two men’s blatant desires, including the bar’s leading lady, a female knight of the same Black Dragon Knights, and a noble daughter known for her good looks.
The princess, one of the most noble in the kingdom, was no exception.
Asil, who was listening to those stories in silence, thought that he had to deal with that item before a real problem occurred.
It’s annoying even now, but it was clear that if those guys really went around picking on this woman, it would only escalate.
If you clean up after yourself well, you may be able to get through without any problems, but it would have been foolish to expect a neat cleanup from people who raised their voices and said such things.
Anyway, you know, I can’t be hypnotized thanks to my hypnosis resistance. Asil thought so.
It wasn’t because I wasn’t on the list of ‘ugly women’ they were talking about. Asil wasn’t a real woman, and she wouldn’t be called unattractive.
Anyway, with that thought in mind, Asil confidently entered the scene.
Still, it’s a bit embarrassing that she was secretly eavesdropping.
She was passing by and thought she had heard a suspicious voice in the garden and came to visit. They also confiscated the so-called hypnosis item under the pretext that it was suspicious.
Asil drew up a plan in her head and stood up from her seat and shouted.
“Who is there! This is a garden managed by the royal family. “If you don’t identify yourself and come out right away, I will arrest you!”
Good. At this level, she was a pretty cool ambassador. She was proud to know.
On the other hand, the two members of the Black Dragon Knights who heard Asil’s words were in a panic and didn’t know what to do.
“Ah, sir… ! They said they wouldn’t get caught here!”
“I said you’d be okay too!”
The two, who had been bickering over responsibility, stiffened when they saw her appearance.
However, it was only her posture that made her stiff. We kept mumbling to each other in low voices.
“Uh? Hey. “He’s the captain of the guards?”
“So what? There’s no difference in being fucked.”
“No, that’s not it, you idiot. “She’s a pretty good girl, too.”
“That’s right. Wait. “Maybe you?”
“Anyway, you’re screwed since you were caught sneaking into the royal garden. Let’s try it out.”
… You may have said that you were talking in a low voice, but Asil could hear it all.
However, even after hearing that, Asil approached without any tension. Since I had hypnosis resistance, I wasn’t afraid of hypnosis.
Hypnosis? There’s no way that would work on me.
“So. Who are you? “I don’t think he would be in the royal garden at this time.”
“Well, we…”
The two briefly exchanged glances.
“This is who we are!”
Shouting like that, one of the two held up an old club.
Then it flashed.
A very suspicious light emanated from the club.
