Chapter 88 – Chapter 88 Beyond the Wall.
“How’s the emperor investigation going?”
I asked Earl Ronald, who visited the mansion to report further.
“In fact, there are actually many torture chambers and instruments in the basement of the imperial palace. And…”
“And?”
“We have actually confirmed that the Guards are involved in the disappearance. The weapons used by those who died in an accident were found in the torture chamber.”
“Could it be that it was still there?”
“That’s right. You have no idea how surprised everyone was.”
“You are stupid.”
“Actually, I was lucky. Investigators also said they knew it because of the scratches on the inside of the scabbard. If it wasn’t You couldn’t find it.
“The evidence has come out quite conclusively, but what about the emperor?”
“That is…”
Count Ronald hesitated.
“Speak. There will be no leaking of these words.”
“Rather, there is no response. Even though the evidence has come out, we are welcoming the investigators leisurely.”
“You have a corner to believe in.”
“It seems so. I’m wondering if Duke Solarion is up to something.”
It’s to believe in the army that started moving in the provinces.
“Currently, we are continuing to search for additional evidence that Her Majesty was tortured. But I’m just worried about one thing.”
“What?”
“It is Her Majesty’s safety her. Where are you?”
“That’s a secret. Just me and that friend.”
After hearing the word friend, Ronald shook his head.
“Ah, Emily-sama took you.”
“Right. I don’t know the exact location.”
“It would be better to be cautious. But without the empress’ testimony…”
“It must be difficult to deliver a fatal blow.”
Know.
However, he couldn’t bring the empress with him now.
Although the investigation is still ongoing, and there is also a trial date.
The biggest reason why you can’t bring it.
It was because the empress had lost her memory at the time and was not in a situation where she could testify.
So.
Bringing out the empress later.
It was after confirming that she had fully recovered.
“Don’t worry about that, I’ll bring you when the time is right.”
“All right. Minister. By the way… Are you really okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“I sent a warning to the nobles to be careful of the movement of troops, but if this leads to a real civil war…”
Ronald was also hesitant, as if he hadn’t even thought about the war.
“Do not worry. Because there is a way.”
“Are you really going to use the Ministry of Magic’s weapons?”
“It is not.”
“But the Dmitri family doesn’t have a territory where they can get troops right now.”
“Neither is that.”
“What if?”
“I will go to the north and come back.”
Ronald, who looked at me for a while, was shocked.
He knew who was in my house.
Snow white.
The princess of the northern savage tribe, the Cruy.
At the same time, it was also one of the military cards I could use.
“I can’t believe the savages… ?”
I didn’t answer. And I knew that the answer would come soon.
“What a crazy choice! No matter how much you bring barbarians!”
“Control is possible.”
“How do I do this? They are a people without common sense! Looting is basic, and killing is not hesitant.”
“Know.”
I have no intention of covering up their evil deeds.
“But why?”
“There is no need to cover the means to use strong troops.”
I had to try anything to beat the emperor who didn’t follow the rules.
‘Because if he’s an emperor, he’ll even try black magic.’
“Is there any way to control them?”
I thought of the people in the mansion.
Ronald wrinkled his brow, as if thinking the same thing.
“Is that what I think?”
“I know you well.”
“It is reckless. Would they believe Snow White’s words?”
“I know the Kruys better than anyone.”
They want a lot of power
Hoping for a strong
I wanted to be guided by someone like that.
And i
I am qualified to stand above them.
With stronger power than anyone else, and with Snow White, the chief of the Cruy tribe.
“Good. I will trust the minister. How long will it take?”
“Three days to settle things. It will take a week to move the troops.”
“The biggest problem is borders. What are you going to do with the iron wall?”
“I’ll have to drill it.”
You’ll either have to knock it down or make it open the gate yourself.
The backlash will be severe.
However, there is a corner to believe.
Ronald was looking at me sticking out his tongue.
***
Send Ronald.
“Snow White.”
I found Snow White.
“Ah, Maurice!”
When Snow White, who was picking up embroidery, saw me, he was delighted.
“Are you busy?”
“No. I was just making a present for Maurice.”
I thought maybe the embroidery I was picking up was a gift.
“I look forward to it. But before that, there is a story to tell.”
“Which one?”
“Let’s go up together.”
“Where are you talking?”
“To your hometown.”
Snow White’s hometown.
Where cold winds and snow blow.
It was beyond the northern wall.
At my words, she looked surprised.
“Why? Sir, are you going to send me back?”
I shook my head.
“I need the strength of your tribe.”
“You mean the strength of the tribes?”
“So I’m going to use you to get them on my side.”
“Are you aiming for the position of tribal chief?”
“If you must.”
Of course, Snow White, not me, will be the chief of the tribe.
Because I, a citizen of the Empire, would not be able to sit in that seat.
“In the process, it is certain that you will fight your father, the tribal chief.”
“It’s okay. I have been waiting for you.”
Rather, she seemed amused.
Why?
“Why do you like it? Maybe your father, your family will lose the power of the tribal chief.”
“Haven’t I already been sent to Maurice as a gift? Since then, I have forgotten my family. My family…”
Snow White glanced at me.
“Morris is everything.”
“… Is it?”
“Yes.”
“The customs of the Cruy are difficult to understand.”
“Don’t try to understand. Maurice just thinks about winning. I will take care of the rest.”
There was no lie in her voice.
One thing was certain.
That Snow White will be by my side.
“I get it.”
“Are you going right away?”
“Isn’t it okay?”
“No. It is possible.”
“Then let’s go.”
I took Snow White and moved.
She draped her in her warm fur.
Since it’s an item with warming magic, you won’t feel the cold at all.
We plan to use the teleport gate to go north.
However, if you use the one in the Magic Tower, your actions will be found out.
We’ll use a portal in the backyard that can’t be easily inspected.
Originally, the intention was to change this portal connected to the Succubus Dungeon.
Connection point.
A base located near the northern wall.
“Then we will move.”
“Yes, I am ready.”
Snow White held my hand tightly.
Snow White’s hand that held my hand was warm and soft.
“Never let go. And don’t worry. I will protect you no matter what.”
“Yes. I know.”
We entered the portal.
***
There were no people to be found at the base.
A base that no one uses because it is old.
Broken things were scattered all over the place.
“Wow, there was a place like this.”
Even in the cold blizzard that bit his skin his, Snow White spoke calmly as if nothing had happened.
“It was a stronghold that blocked the advance of the Cruy tribe in the past.”
Not now but.
“Then why was it abandoned?”
“Because I built a higher and stronger wall.”
I pointed to the great castle wall rising in the distance.
It was a huge barrier separating the Cruy people from the Empire.
“Ah.”
Snow White seemed to understand.
“Then don’t move. There is a distance, so you have to fly for quite a while.”
“I understand.”
I hugged Snow White and flew toward the village of the Cruy tribe.
As I flew to the sky, Snow White, held tight in my arms, burrowed deeper.
How far did you fly through the cold wind?
I arrived at the Cruy village with Snow White.
“Uh? I am a princess.”
“Why is the princess?”
“Didn’t you go to the empire?”
“Are you successful?”
“You idiot, the person next to you is that man. Maurice, the war hero of the Empire.”
“Then… Did you fail?”
“No way.”
As the person fell from the sky, everyone’s attention turned to me.
They stopped what they were doing and looked at me and Snow White.
Sailors.
It was to the point where my ears were hurting from the constant chatter.
Ignoring them, I passed and headed for the chieftain’s tent.
No one dared to stop me even though I was walking without hesitation.
The moment he saw that the guy who didn’t know my face was with Snow White, he left without a word.
“I didn’t expect you to come here first.”
Ben Dancrew.
The chief of the Cruy tribe looked at me and put his chin on his chin.
“Me too.”
“What did you come for? It doesn’t sound like you came here to formally marry. And my daughter too…”
His gaze His turned to Snow White.
“You’re stupid to not be able to do your job properly.”
He clicked his tongue
“Can you say three words like that? Snow White is your daughter, but she is mine. I hate to insult my people.”
Then Bendan Crewe shut his mouth.
“I came to make a proposal.”
I was the first to break the silence.
“What?”
“I want you to help me in the battle against the Emperor of the Empire.”
“Treason… Is it not?”
“Not really. Because the emperor will draw the sword first.”
“I don’t think I am what you call a barbarian, but will the public accept that choice? The Empire knows that’s important.”
“Public sentiment is important.”
“Is there a way out?”
“Okay.”
“What?”
Ben Dankrew’s body leaned forward.
My solution book seemed quite curious.
“For those who have been rehabilitated by the Minister of Magic who conquered the barbarians in the north, there will be very little opposition.”
“… No way?”
“I am here to challenge you. I’m going to have a sacred showdown with the chieftain of the entire Cruy tribe.”
At those words, Ben Dankrew’s eyebrows twisted.
“How dare an outsider speak of a sacred confrontation! No matter how strong you are that I acknowledge, this kind of rudeness is unforgivable!”
“Why can’t I?”
“What?”
“I don’t have the white snow you gave me as a gift. Isn’t she the princess of the Kruy tribe with legitimacy?”
Ben Dankrew’s head jerked! Went back
He glared at Snow White.
“Your year, can’t you?”
“I’m just appearing as Snow White’s agent.”
“Snow White! Is that true?”
Ben Dankrew’s face twisted into a grim expression.
Even though he was glaring at him as if he were going to kill him, Snow White did not avoid his gaze.
“Yes. I’m here to claim my rights. Maurice-sama will fight for me.”
“Her. The child sent to make the tribe prosper is coming to ruin it.”
“No. If we stay under Maurice, our tribe can become stronger.”
“Under! Sounds funny! Even if he is strong, how can a guy who has lived in a warm sunny place lead us!”
Watching the conversation between the two, I clicked my tongue and said.
“The chieftain of the Cruy tribe in the world has a long tongue. Were you scared?”
“Cowardice? You say I’m scared? Sounds funny!”
Bang!
Ben Dankrew struck down the throne he was sitting on.
The handle is excellent! Broken in one shot.
“This time, I will deal with you sincerely.”
Ben Dankrew glared at me with bloodshot eyes.
“Don’t expect it.”
Looking at him like that, I smiled softly.
