Chapter 59 – 07. Who Gets the King.
Seorae listened to Yuri and put on her clothes on her.
“First of all, Throdia doesn’t have a crown princess, but if she’s going to play a role, Princess Ekaterina is the most likely.”
“Yes. I know that.”
“But really, Yerina’s king and princess don’t get along very well.”
“No matter how much he is a king, the mother oppresses his daughter so much that it is inevitable that the relationship will widen. Tsk tsk tsk.
She hadn’t liked the king of Throdia from before.
He was a decent person when he became king 20 years ago, but the position of king made people strange.
“Anyway, thanks to that, the princess hates the queen. She did so, so she suggested what it would be like to sell Yerina the king.”
“What? Selling out your mother?”
“Yes.”
“Ahahahaha!!”
She laughed out loud.
“Uhhhhh..! This is a masterpiece?!”
A situation that can only be found in low-level literature circulating among commoners is openly taking place in a single kingdom.
She giggled for a while.
“Okay, what did the kid say?”
“Once the home country intervened between the two countries and set up a negotiating table, they took responsibility for the war and asked to dethrone King Yerina and establish himself as king.”
“Quack-quick-quick.”
It gets worse as you go.
“Also, for the peace treaty, Basa also needs something to gain, so he said it would be good to send King Yerina as a concubine to Prince Aran, who was active in this war.”
Now it’s completely turned around.
Seorae forgets the emperor’s body and laughs at his throat.
To that extent, Throdia’s situation was absurd.
She laughed like that for a while, wiping the tears from her eyes.
“Yes, yes. Let’s say that. But there’s no way Vasa would back down with something like that? He’ll definitely ask for land.”
“He asked me to take care of that. He asked me to leave half of it.”
“You’re really crazy.”
“It seems that the grudge is strong.”
Seorae, who was still smiling, nodded her head.
“Yes. I can understand it. Considering what happened during that time, it’s rather weak.”
She pondered over her suggestion.
It is humiliating to negotiate with Vasa, an island nation, but Vasa has grown too old to be considered a barbarian.
The fact that he sent a whopping 600,000 troops on an expedition during the three-year war, and the fact that there were two 6-tier knights, could no longer be ignored.
‘I never thought it would be so painful to play.’
If I knew it would end like this, I wouldn’t have been playing for 20 years.
She later regretted it, but it had already happened.
“If we make that little boy the king of Throdia, he will listen to us, right?”
“Of course. Thanks to someone who became the king.”
“Well, from the beginning, those bitches exist thanks to us.
“You are right.”
“Half… Not half. Too many. We shouldn’t let the Bazaars develop any longer.”
“But even if they have already occupied more than half of the territory.”
“We have no choice but to take care of the truth, and take care of the honor for them.”
“Yes?”
She made a difficult decision.
“It’s just that, if you give up some territory, you can recognize the emperor.”
“Your Majesty! That’s…”
“Then Hasam will be satisfied with that too.”
“The resistance of the nobles will not be easy.”
“I don’t need idiots who can’t even grasp the situation. Sweep them all out now.”
“…”
“It has become clear over the past three years that it is not the Vasa of old, and as much as the national power has changed, it cannot be treated the same as before. That triggers another war.”
She was looking for truth.
Recognizing Basa as an imperial country immediately seems to give in to the Mei Empire, and a number of vassal states may be shaken, but that does not mean the power of the Mei Empire is going anywhere.
Persia, on the other hand, will no longer be officially ignored once it is recognized as an imperial state, and Cornelia will remain a hero, but she has to give up a lot unexpectedly.
That’s the same logic as putting shackles on Persia, who can grow further as a result.
“And, being acknowledged by me means that you are under me anyway, right? There’s not much difference.”
“…”
Yuri put on a difficult expression.
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like it would be easy.
“By the way,”
“Yes?”
“On what grounds do you intend to accuse Yerina of the crime? If she has to take responsibility simply because she is the king, the resistance will be very severe. Even other countries are telling her to do this and that.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. It’s Princess Ekaterina who caused the war.”
“What are you talking about again? Didn’t Vasa come in first?
Yuri began to explain what he had heard.
“That was all the princess’s plan. She took advantage of the fact that the son of Cornelia, the king of Persia at the time, was on a tour with her fiancée, and murdered her with a brutal method of rape and murder, and An Cornelia attacked.”
“…Why?”
“After driving out the current king, he said he wanted to become king himself.”
“Huh…”
A look of helplessness.
Yuri understood well enough.
She had a similar expression when she first heard her too.
Throdia was completely destroyed by this war, and even the territory was cut in half, but it turned out that all of that was the work of the princess.
Are there any other weird things like this?
“Then, did you mean that your home country was planning to step in and negotiate a peace agreement in the past?”
“There’s no way that would be the case. However, becoming a king itself would be similar.”
“You’re a nasty girl.”
“They say they have already finished fabricating the evidence to prevent Yerina Wang from escaping.”
“Hmm.”
If there is plausible evidence, there is no problem.
However, what the princess was doing was so absurd.
“She’s a great bitch in many ways. Well, okay. Let’s discuss the details later. Proceed like that.”
“Yes. Your Majesty.”
* * *
“It’s about time.”
“What do you mean…?”
“Please ask Gunzer.”
The nobles shed their saliva.
In the past, they were against it, but now they are encouraging it, saying that it is time.
“I’m sure His Highness will not be happy with you. But I have a way to become king. I will never forget you, so please do me a favor.”
“If it’s not rude, may I ask?”
“You’ll know everything later, so for now, just do as I ask. It shouldn’t leak out.”
“Hmm…If that’s the case…”
After all, they were a mess.
It was only because Ekaterina stopped her from making a request that she could not achieve it, otherwise they would have risked her life to insist on it.
Soon the women nodded happily.
“Leave it to me. I will make you the Crown Princess no matter what.”
“Thank you, everyone.”
The nobles left with a firm resolve.
Their destination is the country’s prime minister, Duke Illyana.
She is a moderate, but in terms of the Gunjeo, she was a woman who supported the Gunjeo faction.
“Gunzer?”
“Yes. We have persuaded you. So let’s go now and ask for it together.”
“The one who was so stubborn…”
She chewed suspiciously, but nodded her head because the crown princess had to be built for the sake of the country.
“Okay. Let’s do that.”
The nobles’ faces brightened.
* * *
“What did you say?”
“They said you should do a dry cleaning.”
“Gunzer?”
She put on a puzzled expression.
“Leo is still alive and well, but what does she mean?”
Duke Illyana stepped forward.
“Your Highness, now the war is in full swing. Originally, it should have been done right after the invasion of Basa.”
“Didn’t you tell me about that before?”
“Didn’t you say that there was no other danger then, and you did not fight back? But now, danger is approaching every moment. For the future of the country, we must urgently appoint a crown princess.”
“You have to build it!”
“…..”
Yerina looked at the nobles disapprovingly.
“Do you really have to say such a thing at a time like this? Even Arte has been handed over to the enemy! Why are you bringing up a pointless topic when it’s not enough to discuss preparations for that event?”
“It’s not a pointless topic, Your Highness! At a time like this, we need to raise a crown princess all the more!”
“Okay. We’ve already talked about that before, so go back.”
“Majesty!”
“Don’t tell me to go back!”
“Do you hate me too?”
Ekaterina appeared, defeating her screams her.
