Chapter 196

Smiles

" . . . Oh my, how rare . . . to see you so distracted Ms Yuri . . . . "

I talked to her after I got to know the situation with Lyle and Dida these past few days .

She glared at me when I said so .

"Do not listen to rumors Divan . . . "

"Those are not rumors, they seem to have noticed my existence . . . I've had people tailing my steps after you started trying to recruit them . . . Although it seems that they have not identified us just with the current information they have . "

There is no fear in her sight when she glances at me . Her anger is of a degree that even if destroying this entire kingdom it cannot be appeased .

Even so, Lyle and Dida are competent enough to leave her in that state .

As for me, I'm prideful of my ability of hiding signs of my doings .

"As soon as our plan to destroy the Duke Armelia through Dorsen failed, I sent people to investigate him because he seemed to follow competent fighting people to test his strength, and he tried to forge a relationship with the Duke Almeria escorts . . but . . . well, as we know already, you simply regarded him as a comrade and told him things you shouldn't without my permission . . . And through him now the other -competent fighting people- know about us . . . "

"Shut up . . . !!"

A scream from the bottom of the heart, as if breaking the soul .

That fierce scream seemed to frighten the big guys protecting the room .

She has secret feelings that I can not imagine from that pretty face .

I think I made a good guess about the situation .

……Although .

"I will not be silent . . . Because I am in trouble too now because of what you did, I must be upset more than you with this . . . Were your words that day when your mother died that told me to help you take revenge on this country a lie?"

I casually grasped her cheek and gazed at her, observing her changes closely .

I can not afford to continue someone who is not firmly focused on achieving our goal .

" . . . It's not a lie . . . I am not like my mother . "

She shook her head with eyes a little bit down, because I blamed her .

"That I'm relieved . "

I smile and let go of her cheek .

"If you can not obtain Lyle and Dida . . . . You ought to keep alive Dorsen a little more, because even he knows too much for our own good, it takes lot of trouble to get rid of him, and the process is dangerous as some traces might lead to us . . "

" . . . The value Dorsen had for our purposes is gone . . . It seems like he was being inspired by that woman to think about extra things that made him not listen to me anymore . Don't we need to remove that existence that is only an obstacle to us?"

" . . . Don't be stuck on that . . It's not possible right now . . Even with your current status and power . "

"What's that?? A joke? Not at all interesting"

"I'm sorry . . but it's the truth . . "

" . . . Well, it's okay anyway, I can suppress her somehow . . it's about time for the tailor to come . Do you want me to order a suit for you from the tailor ? I mean . . for upcoming conference"

" . . . Will the kingdom hold a conference?"

More information about this unknown schedule can benefit the Twil country .

I intended to grasp all about her schedule and surroundings .

"Well, yes, it's a meeting to officially enthrone Edwards as the new king"

My head will break in a headache at her innocently said words .

Why will not you report such an important thing? Don't you know that we have to prepare in advance for such an important step?

"My assumption as queen is postponed . . after our wedding . . "

"Well, what's wrong, Divan . Edward is not a unique opportunity for us to become the rulers of this country"

He's a foolish child . . . We can manage him easily . . . holding down the feeling of wanting to shout -finally!-, I exhale instead .

"To my disappointment, I couldn't eliminate Prince I . I can not even grasp where he has disappeared to . . . so . . . There are too many uncertainties . "

"Well, he's already a fallen Prince . . . what can he do now? . . . hey . . . Divan, is it because you neglected what you ought to do? . . . . how come did you not eliminate him before he disappeared?"

. . . Well, indeed .

It is him who is the most intelligent and most difficult person for our plans in this country .

Even those who gather around him are also capable people .

I have kept his movements all under control, but because I had been preparing for a period of time I lost sight of his plans . . .

Is it that he was successful getting away from my net and obtained freedom to move?

. . . . . . This country is truly stupid and easy to control . I've got full of myself and lowered the guard .

Is not it stupid because it is rich?

It pretends not to see the domestic situation which was showing openly everywhere, only to enjoy the richness built up in only ten years of the past king achievements all at once .

They don't know how to move forward, sticking to the glory of the past and using all the lasting resources .

That is why the central government of this country was gradually rotten .

For example, human resources .

People are old and die .

If you do not raise new talent, the center of the country will gradually crumble .

Are the tough men of war age old and dead or are they retiring from the front line?

It's only the Earl Sagitaria who still keeps protecting the borders . . . He continues to play an active part in the front line without getting tired, the same as from that time .

Even so, it is strange .

Because it is a hard work, it is good to retreat from the front line and hand down the seat for the heirs and fit in an adviser or counselor . . . . . . Well, there are no talents who can be trusted with this his rear-protection task . . . that's true . . talking from a third-person perspective .

Even though I managed to take control of all the old guys in the army . . . I still have to be careful of Earl Sagitaria, Marquis Anderson and the Duke of Almeria .

I attacked them intensively during this long preparation period and managed to leave them in a poor state where they had to go hide, so it's easy now .

Although . . . Prince I was a miscalculation from my side . I got overconfident and lost sight of him .

I did not follow my plans at all .

But . . the it's impossible for him to rise . .

If the power concentrated on him from the beginning, I would not have been able to move the board chess pieces according to my plans so far .

Even so, thanks to the interests of the corrupt nobles and the authority they hold, he had no easy pie to eat . . his labor was harder than any other, and his position with a gentle breeze will crumble .

Rather, this kingdom was his biggest obstacle .

Indeed, I can not thank enough the incompetent people of this country .

Given his ability to respond, if he were at the power, there is extreme danger that the game will be reversed as soon as he takes the reins .

The first prince is the one we must be most vigilant about at this scene . Even though, I do not have any information at all, about what on earth he is planning .

If he finishes holding some force at hand, the board will revert quickly .

Perfect prevention of trouble is impossible if we think of him, but if possible, I would like to postpone the trouble a little more .

"But…"

"I am now the queen of this country, even if not officially . . I'm the queen . . as the queen of this country, I did as I wanted . . . so . . . do not care about me . . . if everything went well up to now what can go wrong now that everything is a thumb reach from our goal? you do what you ought to do . Originally, I can do whatever I want without borrowing help from your hands . "

This girl is stupid too . . . .

I wonder if she has misunderstood that she has crawled up to this height only by her own power, even though I got her the position she now has .

There is nothing more disturbing and difficult to handle that a piece that has misunderstood its own power .

" . . . I am afraid, then I will excuse myself . "

I bow and leave the room .

" . . . Is it about time to remove her? Well, that's fine, even if we don't remove her right now, there is no problem with the plan . "

I mutter .

Already, the chess pieces are ready for the checkmate .

Even if you scratch it, It'll not help .

All is good . .

I am not interested in used pieces .

If she were to get overconfident of her power and careless, it could bring trouble later on . But . .

Even if she does not exist, things will start to move as we want .

If so, let's let her disappear . . .

Probably Prince I and Princess Elle might disappear as Ed prince moves by our commands .

I can get her to disappear from the table stage with it .

Thinking like that, with a smiling face I went to the next workshop .
