Chapter 416: 416 “My name is Trougotte Lakes Ardler, the Fourth Prince of the Ardrasian Empire . Welcome to the Empire . Her Royal Highness Princess Marianne . My empire welcomes you as a guest . “

Brother Traw greeted us gracefully .

I’m not surprised because I can do a lot of things if I’m motivated . It’s just me .

The Knights of the Kintetsu, including Erna, are staring at the transformation .

“Thank you for taking the time to welcome me . My name is Marianne, the Crown Princess . “

“You must be tired from your long journey . I have a room for you . Rest first . “

“No . . . if His Majesty’s plans are available, I’d like to talk to you first . “

“I see . Let’s multiply . You will find this trough next to you during your stay in the Imperial City . Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you . We will take care of it . Go to your room first . I’ll call the Emperor . “

That’s how Brother Traw laughs and starts showing Marianne around .

Perfect .

“Hey, Al . Did Lord Trougotte eat anything strange?

“Are you the real brother of the Crown Prince?I can do that . “

“But you weren’t that good when you were leading the army in the West .

“I’m not serious about leading an army . “

“Are you serious now?

Looks like it .

“Why all of a sudden . . . . “

“Essentially, he’s kind to girls . “

“Gentle . . . ?

Don’t go in there .

Having such a conversation, we broke up with Brother Traw and Marianne .

We have a place to go .

“Now . . . you’re going to be preached?”

As we murmured, we headed for the Throne Room .

■ ■ ■

“The Seventh Prince Arnold Lakes Ardler, the Northern Plenipotentiary, greets His Majesty . “

Hmm .

I looked up and saw my father’s face for the first time in a long time .

Have you lost a little weight?

Are you eating properly?I don’t think you’re eating because you’re busy .

Someone in trouble .

With that in mind, my father narrows his eyes .

“Thank you . You don’t see the color of reflection?

“Reflecting . “

“Do something you don’t have in mind . . . . . “

“It’s true . I don’t regret it . I thought it was necessary for the Empire, so I acted arbitrarily . But I think it was an act that lacked consideration . I’m sorry, sir . I’m worried about you . “

When I lowered my head like that, my father went silent for a while .

Then a loud sigh echoed between the thrones .

” . . . I was going to preach to you when I got back . “

“I’m ready . “

“Absolutely . . . forgive me for everything I’ve done . An army talent who brought together the northern aristocracy and achieved battle results, and an arm that stabilized the north . Very impressive . I’m sorry for all the trouble with the northern aristocracy and Rezelotte . I’m glad you solved everything – that’s my son . “

The anger did not fly unexpectedly .

Instead, I flew in words of praise .

After that, the Prime Minister next to my father approaches me .

“Appreciate the achievements so far and present the Imperial Silver Cross to the Seventh Prince Arnold . Well done . “

The Imperial Silver Cross is one of three medals .

There are copper crosses, silver crosses, and golden crosses .

The copper cross was given to Count Rebecca von Sitterheim . That was a tribute to the former Count of Sitterheim .

The Empire must have certain achievements .

Even the lowest line of copper crosses are hard to live for . The silver cross is even more difficult .

No matter how difficult it was, even my sister Lise finally got the Silver Cross when she was promoted to Marshal .

I had a lot of results before that .

“It’s overrated . Not available . “

“It feels good . The Baron praised you, too . Take it . “

My father murmured with a disgusting face .

So I finally figured out my intentions .

I see . To distract attention from Leo .

It’s not factionally good for me to get ahead of Leo . But it’s a strange thing to keep me alert .

It was the Prime Minister’s idea to use me relentlessly as a decoy .

“If that’s the case . . . it’s impossible”

“The medal also means upgrading your character . There are achievements to date . There will be fewer complaints . “

“I don’t know what you’re talking about .

I murmured in a dumb manner .

Of course I understand .

The Baron would suggest that, too .

“I want to make the clan an ally . It’s not my country . “

I thought it was a good idea .

“But I can’t leave everything to Princess Marianne . That’s why I’m trying to marry Princess Marianne and someone in the royal family . You’re the leader, Arnold . “

“I don’t think the people of the clan will admit that I ordered the invasion of the clan . “

“For the people . Princess Marianne also tried to save her . There should be no disagreement . “

Jesus Christ .

It’s a political story, at all .

If you want to be an ally, it’s best to have a trusted royal family king of that country . You will also be related .

However, there are few people in the royal family who can be trusted .

It is inevitable that I will take the lead .

” . . . give me time to think about it”

“We don’t have much time . A telegram just arrived . It is said that Rezelotte dropped most of the clan’s national army . There are only a few resistance forces . When the oppression is over, I will send Princess Marianne home . Until then . “

“Yes . . . Father, no, Your Majesty . I would like to make a separate suggestion . “

“What?

This is also a promise to the Baron .

It should be done while the clan country is under discussion .

“If the reign of the clan is over, we should re-examine the death of the late Crown Prince . “

” . . . what happens now when you dig deeper?

“We need the truth . You don’t have to tell the people . Investigate inside . “

” . . . let’s think about it”

Father stood up from the throne .

After I dropped it off, I got up, too .

Now I’m a dangerous man at once .

Well, it’s not a bad thing .

The more prominent, the safer Leo becomes .

In order to do that, we should also agree to go to the clan country . . . but I wonder what happened .
