A Night of Plotting
"I have a report. Prince Anjeal has been confirmed dead."
Doss responds to the knight's report.
"Any damage to the soldiers in the reservoir?"
"There were a few people who felt unwell, but nothing serious happened. They recovered well the next day."
"I see, thank you. You may go now."
"Ha!"
It's just me and Doss in the room.
"The water in the gold mine is horrendous."
"There were high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide in the water. One breath of it and you're dead."
The former royal capital was submerged by poisonous water.
This poison will not be purified in a few years.
"Doss, are you ready to stir things up?"
"I spread a rumor to the West that Marguerite had already moved the capital several months ago."
We are in the north of the dead desert
Where the northern wall looms before us.
But there is no fear in this land.
Many of the monsters in the northern forest have already been subdued.
"If the matter with Shelma is resolved, the roads of this new royal capital can be maintained."
"However, there is already a road built in the northern forest. Isn't it necessary?"
"Not really. We intend to create a path where we can openly trade with Western countries."
"Ah, is the north side a secret trade route with the east?"
"What, you already know?"
We both drink tea.
"Isn’t this bitter?"
"It's tea leaves from the empire. They say it helps you sleep."
"I guess that’s true if it’s this bitter."
"I like it, though. Once you get used to it, you'll miss the bitterness."
"Is that what it is?"
Doss put down his cup and continued.
"I haven't heard what happens next. How will it work?"
"This time, the heir to the throne of Shelma will be Daviz."
"Yes"
"But Daviz will have to disappear."
"Are we going to march?"
"No, Marguerite will not march. We are the victims of a unilateral invasion by Shelma."
"Hmm, are we going to cause another civil war?"
"Yeah, that's where you come in."
"Me?"
"That's right. Doss, you should take control of Shelma."
Doss looks troubled.
This guy must have completely forgotten
How he met us
"Doss, what status were you born with?"
"…A nobleman."
"A Shelma nobleman?"
"But I don’t know if I can call myself a noble."
"It's good enough"
Doss
Marguerite's proud knight
But I already know who he is.
Shelma's country noble
The son of a chamberlain whom the nobleman had taken for his own amusement.
A child who was chased away because he didn't want it to be used in the struggle for the heir.
"Doss, I'll use your bloodline."
"Okay. So, is this the end for the knight named Doss today?"
"Yeah, thank you for your service. You should call yourself Samarielle, which is your original name."
"Understood. What's your next move?"
"I will have you contact Elior, the princess of Shelma."
"Ha... you want me to take her hand?"
"No problem. I'm sure people will like you given your personality."
"I hear she's only 8 years old, though?"
"She was 10 years old when I married Meryl Reynold."
"Isn’t that because Meryl-sama forced herself on you?"
"Yes... why does she like me? What is she looking for in such a poor country?"
"Isn't it because your wife fell in love with sensei's personality?"
"Am I that likable?"
I was really confused at the time.
One day, she suddenly came rushing to me in a horse-drawn carriage.
With proof from King Boldoi
[I'm marrying off a daughter of a good family, so keep up the good work!]
It was written
Don't joke around
And she's in a good mood too
With a big smile on her face, she put on a dress and tied the knot.
She came into my bedroom with a big smile on her face.
Of course, I kicked her out
As expected, I can't deal with a 10-year-old.
And when she turned 15, they gave me drugs.
By the way, it was Doss who gave it.
The moment I drank it
Uooh! And then
Guwaah! And then
Next thing I know, I'm lying naked in bed with Meryl.
"Doss, you'll have to go through the same thing seven years from now."
"By then, I'll be king of another kingdom, and I'll be on high alert to make sure no one comes in."
"What? It is the king's duty to produce an heir."
"Hahahaha, don't worry, I'll take care of that part myself."
"......"
"......"
"You've got to be kidding me! You drugged me first, so you'll have to get drugged by me too!"
"I don't have a choice! I couldn't help it if that dead fish-eyed wife threatened me! I was really scared, you know?"
"I don't care! She was beside me in bed with those dead fish eyes and said, [We're going to be together from now on!] Can you understand my fear?"
"I don’t want to understand, so I’m saying you don’t have to explain!"
"Be quiet! You should experience the same pain and fear as me!"
"Your life isn't that hard now, right? Your son is cute, isn't he?"
The night of plotting grows deeper.
