How to Play a Villainous Boss 92

Chapter 92 – As Planned…!

“…Your Highness the Prince.”

“What’s going on?”

“I got a letter from him.”

Frederick Hermon, Prince of Hermon Kingdom. Since childhood, he is a gifted child who is so outstanding that there is no subject that does not satisfy his tutor regardless of his field, and thanks to his gentle personality and exceptional manners, the prince is so popular that it is rather difficult to find bad rumors. Unsurprisingly, his face was contorted horribly.

Even if a servant who first entered the royal palace accidentally smashes an expensive art piece donated by a high-ranking nobleman, he is kind enough to ask the servant if there are any injuries, and no one has ever seen him get angry. It was not common for a good prince to show such intense emotions.

“…Now that I have a place to drop by quickly, I’d like to finish today’s lesson here. What do you think?”

“Okay, Prince Frederick. I’m leaving now.”

Seeing Frederick’s unusual expression, the swordsmanship teacher bowed his head to the prince and hurriedly left. He doesn’t know what’s going on, but he knows full well that it’s never something he’d be involved in. Soon after, the prince, accompanied by Avery Virginia, the leader of the Knights of the White Horse, rode out of the palace while hiding his identity as an escort.

After leaving the palace, Frederick, accompanied by his escort Avery, headed to the back alleys where all sorts of filth gathered in Hernon, the capital of Hermon Kingdom, to hold their breath.

The back alleys were full of obnoxious dark, red-lit buildings, almost naked women, and menacing people who would punch or punch opponents in the face the moment they got into a fight without hesitation. Of course, the purpose of Prince Frederick’s visit to this unpleasant street was not at all a momentary deviance of a prince who lived a frustratingly honest life. It was necessary to keep escorts to a minimum because it was better to know as few people as possible for this job, and it was unavoidable because Avery was the only one who was the most suitable for this job among the available escorts.

So Prince Frederick hoped that Avery, a mature woman before becoming a knight commander, would not look at the master who had brought her to her brothel with her complicated feelings, and moved her head to and fro as if searching for something in her. I walked down the street with my paddle. Everly, who looked at Frederick’s behavior incredulously…

“You’re here.”

“…!”

Before she even noticed, she was startled by the sound of a woman’s voice right behind her, and she immediately put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

“Wait.”

“Don’t do anything stupid.”

Just as she drew her sword and was about to cut down the unknown woman behind her, the woman behind her and the prince in front of her both spoke in different tones, but with the same content. Only then did Every realize that this mysterious woman was the person Prince Frederick was looking for. But… Who the hell was that woman that Prince Frederick had to make his way through these filthy back alleys? Even with her own identity concealed, with only her minimal escort.

“Don’t strain yourself with useless work, and quietly enter the building next door.”

At the direction of the woman, Prince Frederick and the Knight Commander of Avery opened the door of the building next door and entered.

“Come on!”

… And Prince Frederick’s face heated up in an instant at the welcome greeting of his mistress, who was wearing too revealing clothes that covered only the important parts. All in all, the meeting place this time, not anywhere else, was this… An illegal inn that arranged prostitution. For Frederick, a gentleman among gentlemen, this kind of overexposure was a very difficult opponent to deal with.

“Oh my, who is this?”

The hostess looked at the woman behind Avery and smiled at her.

“The room is on the second floor.”

“A four-person room with thorough soundproofing? The price… I don’t need it. The money has already been paid by the owner there.”

“Okay. Eggplant.”

At the woman’s instruction, Frederick and Every headed straight up the stairs to the second floor, and the madam of the brothel grinned and said a word to the woman who was about to follow them up.

“Next time, I want to visit the owner of the house in person after a long time. How can I help you?”

At that, the woman sneered coldly and turned her head away.

“Wake up, ma’am.”

“What, what what?! Oh, lady…?! Hey, I’m still on active duty! Hey! Hey!”

“…So, what the hell is this all about?”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you the situation beforehand. But I had no choice because it was necessary to handle this in secret. It’s a story that the attendants who have bright ears but are light-hearted should never hear.”

“That word…”

Only then did Every, the leader of the Knights of the White Horse, understand Prince Frederick’s purpose.

The King of Darkness in the kingdom of Hermon, a man who calls himself a baron but is worshiped almost exclusively by those living in the underworld. A promiscuous lecherous person who reveals women, causes a large-scale royal family massacre in the kingdom of Elheim, wields magic similar to that of the tyrant Violence who ascended the throne, and in an instant smashes one of the two pillars supporting the kingdom of Hermon, destroying a territory close to an independent small kingdom within the kingdom person who has

Ragna Armageddon of the Black Army.

He was a contributor to the founding and a duke, but after the fall of his family due to various unfortunate circumstances, he became an evil villain who took the lives of countless people and took away their estates and properties with the forbidden power he found in a foreign country. However, even if the royal family were prepared to destroy it, they became so powerful that they could not defeat them, so the criminals were almost neglected even in the kingdom. Every month the number of people who lost their homes and families to the plunders his army caused was growing, and as a knight who dedicated his sword to the realm, Avery could never forgive.

His powers were so ominous and powerful that, after numerous attempts to assassinate him, all failed, there was no one left to directly oppose him. However, the number of people dissatisfied with the excessive behavior of Rag or Armageddon has increased recently, and rumors have been circulating that there is a kind of resistance group formed by them. The fact that Prince Frederick made contact with someone in such a secret place, avoiding the eyes of others, could not be…!

Every looked at Prince Frederick with such expectations. And it only took her 10 seconds for her expectations to be shattered. The moment the unidentified woman who escorted them to the inn took off her hood, Everly stopped thinking about her.

God saha.

In the kingdom of Hermon, there is the ‘Black Rang Knight’, which specializes in handling the dirty work of the royal family. Unknown to the general public, known only to the royal family and knight commanders, this order of knights handled all sorts of dirty work desired by the royal family, such as book manipulation and assassination. Have ever ordered

He promised that if they succeeded in assassinating him and succeeded to the throne, he would let them live in the sun as knights of the kingdom, not the shadow of the kingdom. He sent an assassin with a pretty face to command. However, the attempt failed, and the assassin who came out at that time was surprisingly able to escape from him and save his life, but the one who was the leader of the Black Rang Knights tried to cut off the tail to prevent Ragna Armageddon’s anger from being directed at the royal family and themselves.

However, half of the Black Knights were destroyed by Ragnar Armageddon, who followed them, and the abandoned assassin was captured by Ragnar Armageddon… Now he became his eyes and ears and became a watcher over the kingdom of Hermon.

That assassin, that woman right in front of Avery. Buy a god

“A traitor…! A traitor who dared to sell his country and comrades to save his own life, who dares to know where this place is…!”

Although Every was enraged by the fact, he drew his sword.

“Those proud colleagues and the country abandoned me first, shouldn’t I abandon them?”

Before she could swing her proud sword, she brought the blade to Avery’s neck from behind, threatening her in a low voice.

“The traitor who betrayed his allegiance in order to preserve his life…!”

Even in such a situation where she didn’t know when her throat would blow off, Everly didn’t think about keeping her mouth shut.

“I never thought I’d be understood. As for the person who understands me, that alone is enough.”

Saha also responded savagely, as if he was going to sever Avery’s neck without hesitation at any moment.

“Stop both!”

When Prince Frederick, who was inferior to him, intervened, Saha let out a sigh and removed the memorization from Avery’s throat.

“Prince Frederick. Do you remember the hero chosen by the goddess Luminus?”

“…The man who had been to Hermon Kingdom before? Of course I remember. The hero chosen by the goddess was the first since the legendary hero, so my father met me in person. Of course, I was also there.”

“That hero is my master’s adversary. And my master told you to help the hero. In the meantime, my master has shown special mercy to those who have saved their lives, and has told you to support him. That’s it. .”

“…”

“Then I’m done with what I have to do, so…”

“For a moment.”

Before her son left, Frederick asked, looking at her with her confused face.

“What is the purpose of your master, Ragnar Armageddon? Some of those who sought his life were killed so horribly, but why did some of them live and keep watch… Why did I, the prince of this country, send them to me? I ordered you to manage it, and why do you now ask me to help the man who seeks your life? What on earth does your master want?”

To Frederick’s question, Saha answered coldly.

“It’s a realm you don’t need to know. All that matters to you is… That if the job is done safely, you will become the king of this realm, not your other brothers.”

At those words, Avery’s cold and cold gaze turned to Frederick.

After Saha left, Prince Frederick had to spend quite a bit of time to clear up the misunderstanding harbored by Avery, leader of the Knights of the White Horse, and as he left the inn, the madam jokingly said, ‘Men last quite a long time unlike they look?’ I couldn’t answer anything.

Frederick Hermon. He is the second prince of the Hermon Kingdom and is famous for his ability and popularity, but ironically, he is a prince but has no interest in the throne at all, he is a bastard son, not the eldest son, and Alfred Hermon, the first prince, is superior in terms of ability. Due to this, the succession to the throne is the lowest, the third highest, the prince.

As a human being, he is obviously a very well-behaved person, but because of his lack of ambition and his dislike of attracting attention, he claimed himself to be unsuitable for a king, and because of that, he has almost no support except for a very small number of nobles. Sippy is an unusual royal family.

Rather, it was to the point that there were more forces supporting the radical and impetuous 3rd Prince Wilhelm with his reckless personality. Of course, Wilhelm’s supporters are only shady guys with obscene desires who mistakenly believe that the kingdom will become their world once he becomes king, and even that number is far fewer than 1st Prince Alfred, a strong candidate for succession to the throne.

However, the reason Prince Frederick Hermon, who had no interest in the throne and supported his half-eldest brother and first prince Alfred Hermon, whether in official or unofficial positions, followed me, of course, was not to succeed the throne. Frederick really followed my instructions… To protect his people.

“1st Prince Alfred. The best candidate for king. But he is a person who will cut off the few without hesitation for the sake of the many. The 3rd Prince Wilhelm is not much different. Both his hair and appearance are backward compatible with Alfred… No, it’s just a degraded version. But Frederick… Is a man who wants to protect the minority, even if the majority suffers a little damage. That’s why… He has no choice but to follow my words.”

“What do you mean by that?”

When Hochna asked how a baron could treat a prince as if he were his subordinate, I first explained the character of the prince.

“As a simple example, let’s say that there is an epidemic in this country. It has a low fatality rate, but it is quite contagious. So even if you get sick, if you manage well, it’s a disease that has a chance of recovering safely. .”

“Yes.”

“In Alfred’s case, the focus will be on ensuring that the infected are isolated in order to prevent the spread of this contagious disease in advance. He is more focused on preventing the spread of the disease than on killing the sick. But, In Frederick’s case, the focus will be on ensuring that no one dies from the disease rather than spreading it.”

“The majority suffers, but doesn’t it leave a minority unhelped?”

“Very accurate.”

In fact, as a king and leader, Alfred’s judgment would be more reasonable. However, that is only the thoughts of the ‘those who are not abandoned’. Even if they belong to the ‘throwaway side’, can they support Alfred?

People put their own comfort first. Even among those who might be in favor of discarding the minority for the majority, there are fewer people than you might think who won’t change their opinion when they’re in the minority.

“Of course, if there are more people who are sick than people who are not, then it will be too late to quarantine, so Alfred will focus on treating the sick. The few who have it are the few who are sick. The majority who are not sick will support Alfred.”

“Is that right?”

“But the problem here is that the reason Frederick listens to me isn’t the plague.”

Serberg is a destroyer, Sillip is a madman, and Violence is a tyrant.

And I… Am the Black Army.

“Alfred pursues the best move, but Frederick avoids the worst. That’s why I’m telling Frederick. If you don’t do what I say, the ‘worst case’ he fears will unfold. If the weak-hearted prince, who doesn’t even want to lose his life, knows to himself that a ‘misfortune that will destroy the kingdom’ is coming… He has no choice but to do anything to prevent that misfortune.”

Frederick chose the lesser evil to avoid the worst. They did not want the kingdom to perish, so they followed my words.

I gathered together the forces that harbored disobedience to me, rallied them, and controlled them. To prevent them from getting up on their own and attacking me… Before I trample them to death. Even that impure force had no choice but to follow the prince’s words. Rather, it would have been better. If a prince who is famous for being very popular leads them, they will have an excuse to take revenge on me. In this way, through Prince Frederick, I managed to gather together the forces that were disobedient to me.

And those who have waited and waited and sharpened their swords of revenge against me will draw those swords as righteous avengers under the warriors chosen by the goddess.

“All according to plan.”
