The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle For The Throne Chapter 2

Chapter 2: 2 “What about revealing yourself as a SS-class adventurer silver?”
When I returned to my room, I talked to Sebas about the future . Only Sebas knows I am silver . Certainly, there is a merit to reveal the identity . However, there are disadvantages at the same time .
“My great-grandfather was immersed in ancient magic and went crazy there . Since then, ancient magic has been a taboo among the royal family, and I use that ancient magic . “I don’t want to be a big brother,” he said . “But Silver has a proven track record and reputation . He is even said to be the greatest adventurer in the history of the Empire . Should he be helping Prince Leonard?” That’s the last hand I use after nothing else, as long as Leo is aiming for the emperor, it would be more convenient to be an incompetent prince for a while . “” But . . . “” It’s easier to do that . ” … I wouldn’t say anything more in that case, but what are you going to do?
I put my hand on my chin when asked by Sebas . That is the biggest problem . Leo’s faction is weak . If you want to increase this quickly, you have to take in the influential people .
“Sebass . Is there any duke family not involved in the empire?” “Only one has not been involved in the empire!” “What is that house?”
Why did a famous family name come out? A duke’s family is a relative of the royal family or a family that is related . It is given to the emperor’s brothers who did not reach the throne, but were judged excellent . Those who have made significant achievements may be ranked as dukes, but at that time the royal family is given as a companion, so there is no problem in recognizing that they are relatives of the royal family . For such a duke, fighting for empire is an important event . The reward is great if you can sell your favor to the next emperor . So any duke will approach the successor a little . Not doing it at all is more of a problem .
“Is there any worries about not doing anything at this time?” You can’t grab it . “
T ra nsla t e d by jp m tl . com The Adventurer’s Guild has branches throughout the continent . The empire also has branch offices everywhere, but the power of each branch varies . Imperial chapters are not very high except in the imperial capital . The Imperial City branch is also pushing me up the average, just a bit above other branches . The reason is that the empire is not a land where many monsters occur . No monster means no demand . Powerful adventurers move to places with more monsters . Therefore, the empire tends to take time to resolve once a monster is generated . It’s expensive to bring another adventurer .
“I’m going to solve it . ” “I think it’s a good idea, but how do you tie Silver and Prince Leonard?” “It’s good to have asked Leo . I’ll explain it to Leo later . “No problem” “If you can move SS class adventurers who do not move the imperial capital, you will be more vigilant to Prince Leonard . If so, you may be able to expose the relationship between Prince Arnold and Silver?” “If you think you have something to do with silver, you can’t be open-minded, and silver is all right . I just need to be careful . ” Don’t forget that there is a difference between the heavens and the earth when you make it public or reveal it . “” I know . Then go to the Duke of Kleinert . “

That’s how I changed my clothes to silver with a familiar touch and asked Sebas for the transfer . The magic of the ancient magic civilization era that is no longer in use . It is called ancient magic, which is more difficult to handle than modern magic, and can be said to be a magic with many features . But the effect is enormous . My transfer magic covers almost the entire empire . So for me, an empire is like a garden . Go when you want and come back when you want . The price comes with a tremendous amount of magic, but you have to close your eyes . Sebas advised me with such a serious expression that she was preparing for such a great magic .
Aohime Princess “Speaking of which, the daughter of the Duke of Kleinert is such a beautiful woman . Be careful not to forget her purpose because she is boned by beauty . ” “Sebas . “Is it okay if I don’t say a few words?” “That’s my role” “Huh . . . I’ll leave the rest”
Having completed the transfer magic, I flew from the Imperial City to the Duchy of Kleinert, which took at least five days .
■■■
The Duke of Kleinert has vast territory west of the Empire . At the center of the territory, I flew to the city where the lord lived, the territory, and I immediately visited the residence of the Duke . However .
Tr an s l ate d b y Jpm tl . c o m “I’m an SS-class adventurer, Silver . I want to see the Duke . ” “You’re that silver? Don’t joke . If such a big guy comes, the adventurer’s guild will contact you days before . Mischief will return . That’s right . “
It was so decorated by a young blonde gatekeeper . For a moment, I thought about doing this, but it wouldn’t make sense to come here . I take out the adventurer card, which acts as an identity card for the adventurer, while suppressing the irritation . Here you can find the adventurer’s name, rank, and more . This card cannot be forged because it is created by Guild Arcane . If you look at this .
“I don’t have to show you the card . Go home early! I’m busy now!”
The gatekeeper turns me back without looking over . That attitude caused me to pull my cheeks, but at the same time felt it was a good opportunity . Originally, I was going to help and sell the benefits, but there is a way to make them feel more like this .
“I came here because Prince Leonard had bothered to ask me . That prince seems to be too good for me . Tell the Duke . There isn’t!
The gatekeeper remained arrogant from beginning to end . The Duke of Kleinert is certainly prestigious . Its history falls short of any noble family . The gate of such a prestigious residence is well protected by such a guy . Monsters may be short on staff . Also, although it is almost his responsibility, the vexation of the vassals is equal to the duke’s . Let’s say the duke is awkward but panic . A smiling face behind the mask, I saw a girl gazing from the window on the second floor of the mansion . The girl with blue eyes in gold hair was very beautiful from a distance . There is a familiarity in its appearance . Two years ago, the emperor ordered the craftsmen of the country to make hair ornaments in the shape of birds . Among them, a hair ornament in the shape of a stunning blue seagull caught the eye of the emperor . The Emperor, who liked it, gathered beautiful women from all over the country in the Imperial City, saying that it was suitable for the country’s best beauty . At the time, she was only 14 years old, but she was chosen as an exquisite beauty by the daughter of the duke of Kleinert, Fine von Kleinert . Blue Seagull Princess She was given a blue seagull hair ornament and has become a longing target of men all over the country . Two years later, the beauty has increased . but .

“It’s beautiful, but it’s not Sebas’s love . “
Remembering the words of Sebas, I felt regrettable and left the place and returned to the Imperial capital again using transfer magic .
” . . . I’m coming back fast . ” “I’m doing it right! I’m going to the Duchy of Kleinert . Get ready . ” ” . . . I’m here . ” “Silver . It’s Prince Arnold from now on . ” Huh, now the Duke can only cry to Leo, and it’s almost as if he’s drawn in to his ally . “
Ignore Sebas’s words and start preparing for the trip . Seeing me preparing with humming, Sebas sighed as if she was stunned, but she began to prepare without saying anything . From there we flew a horse and, after a five-day journey, reentered the Duchy of Kleinert .
■■■
After entering the city of Duke of Kleinert and heading to the mansion, I was greeted directly by Duke Kleinert . Of course . They are telling them to go to get it done . But the duke of Kleinert is so greeted by a royal family . This is not the case with other dukes . He has not participated in the Empire battle, and my reputation is very bad . The prodigal prince just playing . The drying prince who brought everything to his brother . The reason why such a man is greeted politely just because he is a prince may be due to the dignity of Duke Kleinert .
“His Highness . It’s been a long time . ” “It’s been a long time . Duke of Kleinert . What’s the first time?” “It’s since His Highness had his tenth birthday . “
A mature man with mustache of the same color as the blond . Duke Elmer von Kleinert . He is a lord who has ruled the territory for decades since he succeeded the dukes as a young man . He is one of the dukes trusted by the current emperor .
“Isn’t it like that because I hardly ever leave the Imperial City, I’m just alienated from the duke in the territory . I want you to forgive me . ” “There is no destruction . I’m bad because I can’t give it . “
The Duke and me enter the mansion with a formal conversation . Your aides will follow you, but when you enter the room, you will be only Duke, I and Sebas . T r ans l a t e d by jp mt l . c o m
“Well, Duke . I don’t have much time . I’ll let you know what you do . ” “Yes, Your Highness . What’s this for my territory?” “I don’t mean that my brother Leonard wanted that, but I can’t say that during the empire battle, so I came to the urge . “I want Leo to help me . ” “Wait, wait . What is your favor?”
Duke Kleinert, who does not understand the situation at all, has a confused look . We, who sent Silver, and the Duke, who did not know that Silver had arrived, could not be reached . I know that . I know, but quickly recognizing each other’s perceptions can alleviate the problem .
“You’re a duke who earns trust from the Emperor and many others, and knowing that Leo moved with good intentions, but what is the return on it?” I’m really sorry, I’m sorry, my duke, including me, has never done anything to His Highness Leonardo . “” What? “
I go one step forward, saying that I can no longer stand it . Sebastian, waiting for that moment, stopped me in a timely manner .
“His Highness . Apparently the Duke doesn’t really know anything . ” “I don’t know! Leo moved the SS-class adventurer!” That’s why! The silver also moved! “” And silver is that silver? “” Oh, yes! Leo heard that you were in trouble with a monster in the territory and handwritten a letter Asked Silver to go under the Duke, and Silver replied that he would take immediate action: Silver was an ancient magician and heard that he would also use the lost transfer magic . “Is that true?” “Is it going to say I’m lying !?”
I keep an eye on Sebas while continuing the rage performance . As soon as I knew, Sebas left the ship .
“Your Highness . Don’t be too angry . If you look at the Duke, you’ll know he’s not lying . It may have happened . “What time do you look up? What do you do if you don’t understand anything?” “I wonder if you should ask Silver directly at that time . If you’re a prince of Leonard, Silver will also appear . ” Let’s take the time to say this, but do you know if you’re trying to hide something, and ask Silver directly, so that if you have any problems, the adventurer will be on your territory “I’ll stop collecting . ” ” . . . I understand . I’ll gather the people at home and gather information as soon as possible . Please wait for a while . “
Duke Kleinert leaves the room in a hurry . The Duke would not have been upset by my words, not directly fighting for the throne, but the problem is that Silver is involved . There are only five SS class adventurers on the continent . When it comes to killing monsters, it’s the best person . It doesn’t move if you pile up money, and it’s no exaggeration to say that you’re the top adventurer . Mud on such a silver face will keep the adventurers away . Even Silver can’t help other adventurers come to the place to be treated like that .
“I didn’t go well . ” “It’s a bad tactic for people . Isn’t it a farce of my own self-production?” “It’s terrible . “It wasn’t the one who made the wound,” he said . “If I was turned away, I would have to sneak in . Did you bother to withdraw because you saw it as an opportunity? Moreover, the good personality of His Highness, Leonard, stands out . He showed me that he was arrogant . Let me praise him for his great tactics . “” That’s my role . Leo is too good . There are few fish that can live in too clean water . “I need it . ” “If you decide it’s your role, I won’t stop, but you’re the one to lose . ” I don’t care how much it falls . ” I care about your mother and your Highness Leonard . “
During such a conversation, I heard a loud shout of the Duke .
“Is this idiot son going to destroy my home?”
Apparently the duke’s information gathering is over . Well, how come out of here .
