The Prince Wants To Retire

6. Which line should I take?

The Crown Prince, who had crushed the imperial faction, turned this time and moved toward the aristocratic and neutral factions.

Coincidentally, the problem was that that point was after meeting the emperor.

That the emperor had agreed to strike the neutrals and the aristocrats.

As the current emperor who values political balance, he knew that he would make such a decision, so he expected that even the nobles and neutrals would one day spark.

But it was too fast.

“The inspection department is moving again.”

「Director of the Inspection Agency “It is not over yet.” How far?」

The first thing that moved when the emperor’s order fell was the Inspection Department.

Based on the evidence gathered so far, they moved quickly and started attacking with the police.

“Aristocrats this time?”

“Neutral waves are also right!”

“The prince who beats both nobles and neutrals.”

“The people of the empire cheer for the crown prince’s corruption!”

“The prince who dances with swords. Cheers to the people! Music for nobles?」

The people of the empire watching the newspapers scattered in the square that were issued at dawn.

As the aristocrats and the neutrals were frantically beaten, the high-ranking nobles began to step forward. Leaving them like this could put them at risk.

But what they could do was very limited.

The Crown Prince, who holds the cause, is moving even under the Emperor’s orders, so he can’t touch it hastily.

Many nobles in the capital sent appeals, but they were rejected, and they sent a letter to the imperial faction asking them to hang up, but they couldn’t hear it.

‘We suffered, so should you too?’

Since the emperors are thinking like this, they have no choice but to be quiet.

First, they tried to save themselves as much as possible by avoiding the pouring rain and to erase the traces of corruption, but the movement of the inspection department was too fast.

It was so fast that I wondered if it was the Inspection Department, who had been taking bribes and closed their eyes.

“The appeal has been dismissed.”

“Huh, then, until the meeting of the high-ranking nobles, we will have no choice but to be quiet.”

Hearing the words of the young nobleman, the old nobleman sighed and said.

If the appeal had been rejected, it was no different than saying that I would think about it after I hit everything I was going to hit.

At least, unless the high-ranking nobles protested as a group, the imperial palace could not be stopped.

When the aristocrats from the aristocratic group got their appeal rejected, they gathered together and started a discussion with a serious expression.

Of course, there was no way to come up with an answer by meeting and discussing.

‘To solve this problem, high-ranking nobles must gather!’

All the nobles thought so.

And it was the same for the neutrals.

“You seem to be trying to strike a balance.”

“It seems so. But, will the martyrs gather for something like this… … .”

Neutral aristocrats sighed deeply and shook their heads.

In the case of the aristocrats, the dukes often gather in matters of interest, but they were not neutral.

The core of the Neutral faction gathered for the purpose of supporting the Empire was the Marquis and the Inspection Department.

The problem was that the Inspection Department was operating under the command of the crown prince, and the Margraves were busy keeping other countries in check.

The Margraves might be even more delighted as they caught spies from other countries.

“I’m going crazy.”

A neutral aristocrat said that and tousled his hair.

However, when both the aristocrats and the neutrals looked frustrated, the imperial faction burst into laughter.

Although they had been beaten hard all this time, only the chaff fell out and the survivors survived, so all they had to do was laugh and watch as the power of the aristocrats and neutrals diminished.

“Heh heh, this is really difficult. Your Majesty’s will is so firm.”

“However… … .”

“Wait a minute. Once the affairs within the imperial palace have been settled, His Majesty will appease his wrath and show mercy.”

The lower nobles came to the chancellor with a frustrated heart.

Both nobles and neutrals came to the Prime Minister to complain.

All of them had colluded with criminal organizations to make some money in the capital.

“You guys are here.”

The capital’s inspector general came directly to the place where the chancellor was and looked at the gathered lower nobles.

The nobles, all of whom were only barons or viscounts, looked as if they had seen a ghost.

“Your Highness is looking for it.”

As the inspector general said that and winked at him, the security guards began dragging the nobles out one by one.

Seeing this, the chancellor frowned.

“That’s rude.”

“His Highness has ordered us to arrest him even if he uses extreme means.”

“Kuhm! No matter how… … .”

“I couldn’t help it because His Majesty told me to balance it as soon as possible. I apologize.”

When the head of the inspection department mentioned the emperor, the chancellor’s mouth closed like a shell.

I bowed my head to him and went out.

When all the personnel from the inspection department went outside, the chancellor sat down on a chair, putting his head on his back.

“Your Majesty made a pact, so it’s absurd… … .”

My head pounded when I thought of the prince running rampant like a madman.

It was said to be in order to balance things out, but it wasn’t the first time that I was appalled when I saw the Inspection Department and the Security Department moving.

But at some point, I had to stop.

Although he is said to be the head of the imperial faction, he himself was a nobleman.

That’s why it didn’t look good to let the royal family attack the nobles too much.

“At some point should we intervene… … .”

Mussolini thought with a troubled expression on his face.

He was still a young prince, and he hadn’t shown any particular moves in the meantime, so it was impossible to guess.

He couldn’t think of what to throw at him to stop the young prince from running amok, or how to intervene.

It was all the more depressing because he was a prince who didn’t even look at him as an imperial faction.

Still, it wasn’t that I didn’t eat my experience, so I was able to come up with a plan to come up with a mediation plan at some point.

The problem was Cariel, who was reading these thoughts of Mussolini.

“Tarion.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll have to put some firewood in it soon.”

At Kariel’s words, Tarion smiled and bowed his head and backed away.

As the aristocrats and neutrals are beating in all directions, public opinion criticizing the imperial faction is creeping in.

“The imperial faction is calling for the eradication of corruption… … .”

The imperial faction was shouting to eradicate corruption in the imperial palace while watching the massive flooding of neutral and aristocratic corruption.

Their will to match the forces that were pushed back at this time was revealed.

And that’s exactly what Kariel wanted.

The next day, the capital of the empire was burnt by Tarion, who went out to load firewood.

“Shock! The × × noble who made deals with other countries! Selling the children of the Empire into slavery?”

“Gold mines that do not report to the state. The × × × × noble who secretly shared it with other countries!」

“A low-ranking aristocrat belonging to the neutral faction. Selling military secrets located on the frontier to other countries?”

Newspapers published by a small newspaper company that it is difficult to know where they are located were scattered in the square, and the people of the Empire were shocked to see it.

Perhaps it was because it turned out to be true that there were nobles who crossed the line.

Even the nobles who acted as if they were omnipotent had something called goodness. And what has been announced now is far beyond that line.

“Minister, can this be seen as a declaration of war against our aristocrats?”

“… … Duke, we are not.”

The Duke of Walkshire, who came like dawn, looked at the Prime Minister with a cold expression.

Then the Duke of Wilkshire blew out an unbelievable mage, and slammed the table with his fist.

bang!

“Minister, then did the neutrals hit us?”

The Duke of Walkshire looked at the Prime Minister with scorching eyes.

Just then, another high-ranking nobleman visited the prime minister.

“… … Marquis Morgan.”

A money ghost who sold goods to all factions in the empire while maintaining thorough neutrality as a merchant.

Just looking at him, he walked towards the prime minister with an angry expression on his face.

“If you take money and eat it, shouldn’t you control your mouth?”

The Prime Minister looked angry at the insulting words of Marquis Morgan, but he did not open his mouth.

It was because there was nothing to say even with ten mouths.

How much did you get paid for covering up the great corruption of the aristocrats and the neutrals?

But is it laid out like this?

Of course, from the standpoint of paying the price, there was no choice but to get excited.

“I will cover it no matter what.”

The Duke of Walkshire and the Marquis of Morgan frowned as the Prime Minister bowed his head in shame.

Just by looking at his face, I could feel shame, but the way he bowed his head apologised was because he could feel the sincerity.

‘It’s not like the chancellor was involved.’

‘Tsk! Should I step back?’

The Duke and Marquis pondered for a moment, then quietly stood up.

“I will believe you.”

“Please deal with it as soon as possible. Shouldn’t we do what we’ve been given?”

At the words of Duke David and Marquis Morgan, the Prime Minister nodded and said he would definitely solve it.

***

After a while, the fact that the leaders of the three factions had gathered spread throughout the imperial palace, and Kariel heard it.

“You think it will end soon?”

“That’s right.”

After reporting that the leaders of each faction had a meeting at the imperial palace, Tarion nodded and replied to Kariel’s words.

Then Kariel smiled.

“Is your dream wild?”

The nobles thought that this hellish time would end now that the leaders of the three factions had met.

But Kariel had no intention of leaving it that way.

“ruler! Then, shall we grow the work a little more?”

“Your Highness, it is dangerous if things grow too quickly.”

Kariel smiled at Tarion’s words.

“This is over. You don’t have to do more.”

If it starts to flare up, they will take care of it and fight like dogs.

Then you can just watch it and enjoy it.

Kariel smiled and thought of the nobles who would fight like crazy.

“ah! I am happy.”

I was very, very happy to imagine the situation in which those who tormented me so much in my previous life were tying up their heads.

But the more I did it, the more I felt that I had to get out of this palace as soon as possible.

Right now, he doesn’t know if he is the culprit, and he has no power, so he’s relaxed like this.

When his power grows stronger and he finds out that he is the one who wears the sexes, he gets in trouble.

“You have to hit it in moderation.”

Cariel muttered like that and started planning in detail how to throw the Crown Prince seat away.

He smiled at the thought that perhaps soon after this was over he would be freed from the yoke of this damn prince.

***

When Kariel was happy watching the nobles’ dog fight, the nobles were upset.

「○○ Noble, I made some kind of contract with the Confederacy over drugs. Smuggled into the imperial palace? Estimated at least count level or higher」

Contrary to what I thought it would all end with the agreement of the leadership, something tremendous broke out again.

Incidents in which the rank of count or higher is involved.

Although the inspection department had not officially entered into an investigation yet, the problem was that specific circumstances were written on the bulletin board in the plaza at this time.

“Did you find it?”

To the inspector general’s question, the subordinate answered with a heavy expression and bowed his head.

“Yes.”

“It’s a mess.”

As Podolski said so, he ordered his subordinate to step back and smoked a cigarette.

“You’re also cruel… … .”

Podolski smiled at the thought of who was in charge of this.

When the prime minister, who had been given the last chance, was trying to seal it up with all his might, this happened and now it was only war.

And as he expected, the aristocratic faction began to attack the imperial faction.

As a huge fight was about to begin, some quick-witted low-ranking nobles began to take notice.

“Should I switch to a neutral party?”

“It’s us who are squeezing it for nothing. Even if it’s a safe neutral wave… … .”

When the lower nobles thought so, the Inspection Department moved.

“Aristocrat who sold military secrets. Circumstances were found that there may be more people involved. We will investigate thoroughly.”

The moment they saw the Inspection Department’s announcement, most of the lower nobles were confused.

“Which line should I take?”
