A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

142 – Be on My Side (3)

[Unification calendar March 29, 1997.]

March 31st.

My birthday.

Even though it was my birthday, I didn’t really celebrate my birthday or anything special.

Before regression.

In Gibraltar, accidents occur every time a banquet is held.

I rarely received birthday presents due to the possibility of assassination attacks.

Making a cake for your birthday?

There was a high possibility that the cake cream contained poison.

Therefore, birthdays are just like any other day, or rather, they are a ‘private secret’ that must be kept secret from the public.

My birthday was exposed.

By none other than the Habsburg Crown Prince.

“Are you displeased by any chance, Chairman?”

“Not at all.”

On the way to the ‘parking lot’, Vice President Bathory met me and immediately spoke to me.

“It’s okay as long as it’s not a surprise box with poisoned wine or magic bombs.”

“Have you ever received anything like that?”

“Gibraltar of all time.”

And the traitor Gray.

“In that sense, it is so big and unconventional that it is ignorant, but at least it is safe as a thorough investigation is carried out, isn’t it?”

“It has to be safety. I heard you even have a safety diagnosis certificate from Iperia Industries?”

“Yes. Because that was there, we came from the Sirene territory to here by ‘land route.'”

Arrived at the parking lot.

It was originally a place to park carriages, etc., But there is a very large ship taking up space in the middle of it.

How is the boat on the ground?

That’s a boat, but it’s not a boat.

It is a land tank that has the shape of a ship and has six pairs of huge wheels on both sides.

A ship of the Imperial Navy that would have sailed the seas until a few years ago.

“After disbanding the Navy, I wondered how to use the ships, and I never thought they would be remodeled and used in this way rather than just being put away in a museum.”

“Do you even know the word magaejo?”

“I receive the Imperial Newspaper every day.”

Stopper.

It’s not just about remodeling, it’s about changing the original form so that it is unrecognizable.

Strictly speaking, the original shape is visible.

It’s just that the original meaning has faded a lot.

“There is a ship that runs on land on wheels. Is that also a product of alchemy?”

“Alchemy. To be exact, it is a product of magical engineering, right? The engine that goes inside can be said to be the pinnacle of alchemy.”

“Engine. You are talking about the engine that serves as the driving force that moves the wheels.”

“Yes, that’s right. We haven’t progressed there yet, but you understand it well, right?”

“Sometimes I study privately, and sometimes I learn about alchemy through private tutoring from the granddaughter of Astasia.”

“Chairman.”

While talking.

“The safety investigation has been completed.”

A member of the Order of Knights in charge of security and security at the academy approached me and reported to me.

“I don’t think there will be any problem if you board.”

“It’s a boarding ship.”

“…I’m sorry.”

“No, no. I’m not trying to argue. I think I’m on board too.”

Boarding.

Get on the boat.

It is clear that you are boarding a ship, but a ship is an object floating on the sea.

“I guess I’ll just have to get on now. Let’s go inside and take a look.”

I approached the long boarding stairs extending from the side of the ship.

“Would you like to come up, lady?”

“Oh my. I wonder if someone is from Nostrum.”

Bathory took my hand and grabbed the hem of my dress, and I slowly climbed the wooden stairs, escorting Bathory.

“I have to climb wooden stairs like this every time I ride.”

“Maybe there’s a device inside? There’s a hatch at the bottom of the ship.”

“How do you know that?”

“Of course, you can’t always ride with the stairs next to you like this, right?”

From noble mtl dot come

Vice President Bathory smiled and glossed over his words as if making excuses, but I know.

‘Even if it exists, people will have to go up and down the boarding stairs.’

This is not a tank.

It’s imitating a land tank, but it’s a land tank and it’s blindfolded and screaming, but I can see it.

‘You can tell just by looking at it that it is because it is driven overland with all the parts removed.’

This.

A boat, that’s right.

It is a ship that moves around as if rowing the sea, rather than running on wheels over land.

Instead, the destination is not a ship, but a sea of clouds.

She said It is an ‘airship.’

All the wings that had to be attached to both sides were removed, the core part that had to go inside – the ‘wind stone’, which was the engine – was replaced with a regular magic stone, and all the parts where the wind blows out were blocked.

But why did they send me this airship (which can’t fly)?

If I had to guess the reason…

“Ha.”

“Oh my.”

While going up to the deck to look around the interior, I couldn’t help but laugh as soon as I opened the door to what was supposed to be the ‘Captain’s room’.

“Whose taste is this?”

“No matter what your taste is, it’s clear that you have bad taste.”

A wide bed placed in the middle.

The bed was wide enough for three people to lie down, but it had a translucent canopy decorated with frills.

It would be absurd for it to just be a square, but its shape is even a heart (&) shape.

“Ha…”

I want to kill.

“I’ve never received a gift like this from my father.”

Habsberg.

* * *

At that time, the Thersian Empire’s crown prince’s womb.

“Are you crazy?”

“It’s okay to give my son-in-law a car as a birthday present.”

Habsburg von Tersian.

“Why don’t you be so angry?”

The imperial prince is now facing the opponent in front of her with a more tense face than ever.

“I don’t want to see my pretty face distorted like that. Although it’s pretty like that.”

“You are no longer young enough to be deceived by such nonsense, Your Majesty.”

A voice that makes you feel cold.

“Okay. Erwin-“

“Chairman Iperia.”

“…Chairman Iperia. Right. I just sent the imperial assets, and even my personal items. What’s the problem with that?”

Regarding Erwin Aiferia’s visit, the Crown Prince held his teacup with nervous hands.

“Isn’t good something good?”

“What if we send the ‘Moby Dick’ instead? And take away all the equipment!”

“Are you more annoyed by the removal of the equipment or by sending in the Moby Dick?”

“Moby Dick! It’s natural to take off the equipment!”

President Erwin pulled out his head.

“Airships are still at a stage where more actual flights are needed. If you show them carelessly, you will only end up raising expectations of others.”

“Hmm.”

“I am grateful that you have donated some of the dismantled Navy ships for research purposes. But the Moby Dick, that ship…!”

“It was a luxury cruise ship seized from Isabella.”

“Knowing that!!”

“But it’s not mine anymore.”

The crown prince raised the blade of his hand and pretended to cut his own throat.

“This is a guy who stole Aiferia’s technology and installed a flying device on his cruise ship and tried to fly into the sky and seek refuge. What are you afraid of?”

“Isabella, she…”

“There is no need to worry at all. We are slowly catching our breath from them.”

The crown prince stretched out her hand toward the western edge.

“It can be resolved within a year. Whether the person lying in the hospital differs from his orders his or Isabella commits treason, there will be a result.”

“After provoking you so openly, do you think Isabella will stay still?”

“What if we don’t keep still? What can a woman do who is spreading her hands from noble to noble to gather rebel forces and commit a rebellion?”

“…Are you aiming for it?”

The crown prince smiled at Chairman Erwin’s question.

“There can be no rebellion in times of peace.”

“By inducing them to start a rebellion?”

“If Isabella had quietly wanted to live as her princess, if she had meekly accepted my ‘divorce,’ there would not have been a rebellion.”

“I guess not?”

“Oops. It hasn’t happened yet. Officially.”

The crown prince shook the teacup lightly.

“Since she has already decided to commit rebellion. Since she has already decided to commit numerous crimes. Isabella cannot be left alone. Even…”

“Seriously?”

“As a result of the investigation, there were traces that Gibraltar had been touched for a long time. The person behind the shadow was sent.”

The design of the teacup was something that might have been used by a margrave family in the Kingdom of Nostrum.

“No. It wasn’t Isabella, it was her father? Hehe.”

“…”

“My father is someone who believes that the canyon must be conquered by force. That is the Terscian hatred that has been accumulated since before, even before that.”

“Isn’t it the same for you?”

“Me?”

“All citizens of the empire know that when you were young, you shouted ‘Down with Nostrum’ at a speech contest.”

“It’s different now than when I was young. The child is already 17 years old.”

“…”

For a moment, silence fell.

“Rest assured, Chairman. The airship… It cannot fly, so let’s just call it a frigate concept trailer. The trailer was previously a military warship and was later used as a prototype for airship research, but now it will be different. .”

“How on earth did they tell me to use it? They left the safety device in place.”

“A mobile hotel where Gray and Astasia can board a ship together and travel throughout the kingdom?”

“…What?”

Chairman Erwin’s face distorted.

“Now, what… ?”

“Literally. It’s a hotel for two people. It’s easy to move around, it’s fast, and you can go between Orosol Academy and Gibraltar one way in about 5 hours…”

“Ho, it’s a hotel!!”

Chairman Erwin clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the desk.

“What are you talking about against kids?”

“Kids these days do everything at a young age.”

“This…!”

“According to imperial law, adults under the age of 20 are minors. Um.”

The crown prince grinned and twitched the corners of his mouth.

“And that is the Kingdom of Nostrum.”

“…”

“There is nothing he can do if Gray Gibraltar wants to keep the ‘Gibraltarian traditions’, but he personally would prefer not to.”

The crown prince extended the teacup to Chairman Erwin.

“Very well. For the Gray von Tersian Aiferia.”

“Ha.”

Chairman Erwin chuckled as he held up his empty glass.

“Not Grey.T.Hapsburg?”

“Ha!”

The crown prince burst into laughter and clinked his glass loudly against Chairman Erwin’s empty glass.

“It’s you too.”

Engine room.

“As for the output… I’m sure this will be enough.”

I placed my hand on the huge magic organ located in the engine room, which can be said to be located in the deepest part of the land battleship.

The size is almost equivalent to a carriage.

The magic organ, whose surface is made of steel, is constantly flowing mana along the magic lines extending around it.

“As long as you have mana, you can go anywhere. Is that right?”

“Right? Anywhere you can run on wheels.”

“I understand His Royal Highness’s intentions.”

I like it because I feel like I know it so well.

“I guess this is what I hope to get closer to when I go around with the granddaughter of Astasia.”

“…”

“Maybe it’s because I heard a report that a canyon exploration club was formed.”

“Keuhumhum.”

Vice Chancellor Bathory slightly averted his eyes, but even if it wasn’t Bathory, someone would have talked.

Either Scarlett or an intelligence agent from another empire.

“If I were to ask the Crown Prince how Gray Gibraltar reacted, would you tell him that he was satisfied with one but not with two?”

“I’m dissatisfied with two things…?”

“Yes. First of all, thank you for gifting me such an amazing item.”

I bowed my head politely towards Bathory.

“But if I have one complaint, it’s that it’s too big.”

“Well, that’s because she it’s a remodeled frigate sailing ship…”

“And another thing. Because it was so big, it attracted so many people’s attention.”

I can’t help but sigh.

“It appears that the Crown Prince of Habsburg does not know much about Nostrum.”

“…If he heard it, he would be very angry.”

“Even if he gets angry, at least he won’t be angry at me. I’ll find out for sure about this time.”

Finish.

“Why Nostrum is Nostrum, and why has Gibraltar been Gibraltar until now?”

Just arrived.

“That is…”

“The Knights of the Golden Dawn. The first knightly order of the Kingdom of Nostrum.”

Heading toward the parking lot, dozens of knights in golden armor stopped.

“Vice President Bathory. Please take a look.”

I wonder who came with the commander of the kingdom’s knights.

“The most unreasonable and outrageous piece of human trash in Nostrum.”

“Is this the ship that runs on that road?”

“…”

A middle-aged man with a booming voice.

“This is from our King.”

Saint Geo Nostrum has appeared.

“This is a very petty and petty piece of trash that takes away what the emperor of the empire gave to the son of the Guardian family as a birthday present. Please consider this in the future.”

“…”

“It’s okay. Even if it gets taken away.”

A quick look inside.

“I’ll just get something good next time.”

There were magic stones cameras spread out for surveillance.

It’s the incompetent king’s problem that’s leaked, not me.
