Part 2
Inside the Einhorn.
When I came to the lounge, I would hear from Claris-senpai about what was happening in the royal palace.
Sitting on the couch, Claris-senpai raised her eyebrows as she spoke of Milene-san.
They seem to be very wary.
“As it turns out, they are moving to cut off the majority of the feudal nobles.”
“Does Minister Bernard agree with them?”
Claris-senpai’s father is one of the ministers in the Kingdom of Horfalt.
He is a court nobleman and an expert on the inner workings of the royal court.
“I heard that he was against it, but the Queen pushed him away. You see, she is from Reparto and has a grudge against Raschel.”
“A grudge?”
“The United Kingdom of Reparto is a large country that had no choice but to unite after being attacked by Raschel. In the past, there were many smaller countries on the continent and they were all fighting each other. Even so, they suffered a lot.”
The Holy Kingdom of Raschel apparently had been picking fights with neighboring countries.
They are annoying people.
“So, she would do anything to destroy Raschel.”
“If she does, her hometown, Reparto will be safe and sound. The kingdom will be in shambles, but it will also be in the best interest of the royal family.”
When I raise my eyebrows and express my displeasure, Claris-senpai quickly follows up.
“Of course, not everyone agreed. In fact, even His Majesty was strongly against it.”
“Roland did?”
“——You call His Majesty with open disrespect. Well, if it is Leon-kun, you’ll be forgiven.”
Roland was also opposed to the idea, but it seems that Milene-san pushed him away.
——What a useless king.
Claris-senpai sits down next to the sofa where I am sitting.
“So? What do you want to do?”
“If possible, I’d like to finish everything before the war starts.”
When I mention my ideal, Claris-senpai turns her head away from me, saying that would be difficult.
“If it could be done, no one would have a hard time. It’s not just a matter of defeating them. If you overdo it, even the Empire will move. That foreign student knight is a friend of yours, isn’t he? If you mess up, you’ll be fighting him.”
I don’t know how much demonic armor the Empire has, but I don’t want to antagonize Finn, either.
There isn’t always one guy who draws against Arroganz.
“Right”
Hanging my head, Claris-senpai lays her hand on my hand.
“Nee? Shall we unite the opinions of the royal court in opposition? If we do that, even the Queen will have to change her policy. At least, the feudal nobles won’t abandon us.”
“Is it possible?”
“Of course. But there has to be a price to pay——”
Before I knew it, Claris-senpai’s face was close to mine.
We are close enough to touch each other.
I blink repeatedly in surprise, Luxion says.
[It looks like Angelica has come.]
“Eh?”
I looked at the door and saw that it had been opened rather violently.
Standing there was Ange, who was breathing heavily on her shoulder, as if she had been running.
She must have been in a great hurry to get here.
Footsteps can be heard in the distance, and it appears that Livia and Noel have also followed.
“Claris!”
At Ange’s angry voice, Claris-senpai “Tch” clicks her tongue and distances herself from me.
We were only about a fist’s distance apart.
“I’m just kidding. Don’t get so mad.”
“I really can’t let my guard down. I sense the nastiness of the court noble.”
When Ange says that, Claris-senpai’s tone of voice becomes lower than before.
“Maybe hot-tempered is a trait of a feudal noble?”
As they begin to glare at each other, Livia and Noel, who had arrived late, enter the room.
Their breathing is more erratic and painful than Ange’s.
“We finally caught up.”
“Angelica, you’re too fast.”
Seeing the two of them slumped on the floor, I turned my gaze to Luxion.
“Are you the one who informed them?”
[Yes.]
