The Prince Wants To Retire

5. Raging Prince (2)

Mussolini, who had been humiliated by Podolski, returned to the Prime Minister’s residence and smashed the objects to relieve his anger.

But no one could stop him.

Who can stop him from wielding undisputed power with his armies on his back?

So while Mussolini was unleashing his wrath in his palace, Cariel arrived at the slum.

“A security guard?”

“They are following.”

“The Inspection Department.”

“It will come with armed forces.”

To Kariel’s question, Tarion immediately answered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two groups running hard from a distance.

“Did you ask the Capital Defense Force for cooperation?”

“Yes, we are forming a siege.”

“great. Start.”

At Kariel’s order, the security and inspection departments moved immediately without any time to rest.

Among the servants who were captured while making the imperial palace a wasteland, there were those who could not stand the interrogation and opened their mouths.

In the first place, he opened his mouth easily because he had a mind to occasionally earn money while doing double spying, and the Inspection Department traced back the areas where spies from other countries were active based on their testimonies.

The result was this.

“Bounce! hurry!”

“You must not be caught!”

With the sound of the building collapsing, the armed forces of the Security and Inspection Department entered inside and subdued the spies from other countries who fled.

There were quite a few talented people among them, but there was also a special unit in the police force, and they had skills comparable to knights.

Of course, even if they break through… … .

“Knights, swords!”

It had no choice but to be caught by the capital’s defense forces equipped with a siege.

“damn!”

Among the spies, the one who seemed to be the most talented fled to an area where the siege was weak, but that place was Saji.

He tried to quickly break through to the area where the two imperial knights, who had changed into plain clothes to go undercover, were standing, but there was no way they could compete.

It was because the people who escorted Kariel were the real elite, not those who climbed up through the connections of the imperial faction.

“Ouch!”

Looking at the spy who was subdued at once, Kariel smiled.

“Looks like this one looked good.”

When Kariel looked at the knights in the imperial palace mockingly, the knights slightly bit their lips as if their pride was hurt.

“You have a lot of time, so go to the next place and show off your skills.”

“We must escort Her Highness.”

Kariel smiled at the old imperial knight’s words.

“There are attendants.”

“Haona… … .”

“I need to build up the prestige of the fallen imperial knights. Grab it when you get a chance.”

The old knight pondered for a moment at Kariel’s words, then lowered his head and said.

“The conviction will be here.”

“Are you okay?”

“Young knights are enough to catch spies.”

Kariel nodded slightly at the words of the imperial palace knight.

No matter how much the honor of the Imperial Palace Knights has fallen to the bottom, they are still the knights who protect the Imperial Palace.

Even if they had connections, they had to come in with basic skills, and among them, those who escorted the imperial family at close range were unconditionally selected in order of skill.

There is such a huge difference that a wall has been erected between them from the beginning, from the guards or knights standing in the Imperial Palace, or those who bow to the royal family when they come out for secret hiding or going out.

The next destination was quite big.

A criminal organization in the capital.

However, he went into subjugation when it was officially revealed that the place was actually a place where spies from other countries were staying.

“Hurry up and get back to work.”

“Yes!”

Only three Imperial Palace Knights.

But the moment they were put in, those who dragged the time began to be subdued.

I tried to push it with the number of people, but even that ended in an instant with the joining of the Capital Defense Forces.

“Would it be better to clear up the surrounding criminal gangs while you’re here?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

In response to Kariel’s question, the chief of the security guard who was standing nearby hurriedly bowed his head.

And on that day, all the criminal groups gathered in one side of the capital were smashed and taken to the police force and the Inspection Department.

Because of the huge number of criminals, many people in the capital came to see it.

Since the current emperor came to power, the police force and inspectorate have been crowded to an unprecedented level.

Thanks to this, the already busy inspection department was paralyzed.

“The Emperor will be busy.”

Kariel growled as he muttered like that.

Then, Tarion also smiled and looked curious about what would happen in the future.

It was time for Kariel and Tarion to enjoy tea in the office of the inspector general and relax.

smart!

“majesty.”

“come in.”

When the Inspector General entered, Kariel made a surprised expression.

“Why is a busy man here?”

“Since the Capital Inspection Department seems to be busy, we have removed some personnel from the Imperial Palace Inspection Department.”

“Good job.”

Saying that, Kariel told me to sit down.

“It seems things have gotten a little bigger. The emperor faction might come out to the extreme, would you mind?”

“I’m going to run right to His Majesty today and whine about what to do with the crown prince.”

I laughed thinking of the chancellor that Kariel would hold on to.

“Perhaps His Majesty will call me tomorrow.”

When Kariel said as if he knew, Podolski made a surprised expression.

“Are you all right?”

“then.”

Kariel said as if she was fine.

But Podolski was different.

It was because if he did something too big, he might step down as crown prince before Kariel could do anything about it.

What Podolsky was thinking was to gnaw away the power of the metallurgy metallurgical emperor faction.

But Kariel didn’t seem to think so.

“Roman is growing, and neighboring countries are also getting stronger quickly. Above all else, the Confederacy is the problem.”

“Well… … .”

“Shouldn’t we take control of the empire and prepare for it before they grow bigger?”

Saying so, Kariel took a sip of tea.

In fact, what he thought was not a threat from other countries.

In order to prepare for greater threats, it was necessary to quickly consolidate the internal stability of the empire.

At the very least, he had to leave with all his preparations so that the Empire could pass through the dangers without taking much damage, so he had no choice but to move like this, even if it was a bit urgent.

“I intend to tell you that if your Majesty calls tomorrow, the nobles will also be involved. Do you know how to do that?”

“I will prepare.”

“great. Let’s see what His Majesty said is the balance.”

“Yes!”

Kariel laughed as she said that, then clapped her hands as if she remembered it now.

“ah! By the way, you should also remove the neutral wave.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“really?”

At Kariel’s question, Podolski nodded with a determined expression.

“It’s just chaff anyway, so it’s better to clean it up at this opportunity.”

“Hmm, good. First of all, let’s catch the chaff and balance it.”

After saying that, Kariel and Podolski left the Capital Inspection Department and headed for the palace.

The Crown Prince’s Palace was silent for what had been done.

Even the next day, a large number of attendants and dignitaries came to the Imperial Palace, which was still quiet.

“Your Majesty is calling.”

“okay?”

This time, as he looked at the valet, who quietly bowed and spoke, Kariel smiled.

“Let’s do well in the future.”

Kariel patted the chieftain’s head, spoke, and headed for the carriage.

Then, the valet warden his face from behind and sharpened his teeth.

Yes, there was nothing he could do.

“Sir, are you all right?”

When Tarion, who was riding with him in the carriage, asked worriedly, Kariel smiled and opened his mouth.

“It was expected.”

“but… … .”

“Shh! I’ll figure it out.”

Kariel put a finger to her lips and looked out quietly.

Watching their wagon from afar, the attendants smile as if everything went well.

Kariel, who was bending over but saw them smiling, said to Tharion.

“Does it seem that the servants are not yet educated?”

I thought I couldn’t see it because it was far away, but the eyes that were strengthened by practicing rigid body art were enough to see.

Tarion also wrinkled his expression while looking at it, and said to Kariel.

“… … Shall I call you separately?”

“done. It’s best to stir things up with solidarity responsibility. Let’s stir it all together later.”

While Kariel was thinking about how to temper the attendants while saying that, the carriage arrived at the emperor’s palace.

“wait here.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

After leaving Tarion outside and entering the imperial palace, an attendant led her not to the reception room, but to the emperor’s personal office.

‘He wants to see it personally.’

Kariel thought so and followed the attendant into the emperor’s office, where the emperor was sitting in a chair waiting for Kariel.

Snacks and tea cups to be eaten on the tea table were all set luxuriously, as if they had prepared in advance.

“Meet Your Majesty.”

“Have you come? Sit down.”

The emperor spoke in a friendly voice.

‘It’s a show.’

Kariel, who thought so inwardly, sat down while pretending to be polite.

“I heard that you are diligently carrying out Jim’s orders these days.”

“It’s His Majesty’s order, so I’m just doing my best.”

At Kariel’s words, the emperor nodded.

It was an expression he liked to see Kariel struggling to carry out her orders.

“So, are you taking care of your body? I feel like I’m overdoing it… … .”

“I’ve been a bit forced to carry out Your Majesty’s orders. But it’s still great.”

At Kariel’s words, the emperor said with a smile of repentance.

“You seem to be overdoing it. Now, why don’t you leave it to Jim?”

At the emperor’s words, Kariel lowered her head and said.

“There is still a little work left for me to do.”

“Hmm… … .”

The emperor made a slightly uncomfortable expression at Kariel’s answer.

Then he immediately went on to say the following.

“I know very well what your Majesty is worried about.”

“I am concerned… … .”

“balance. Aren’t you afraid that it will collapse?”

At Kariel’s words, the emperor burst into silence.

“So let’s do this.”

Kariel spoke cautiously at the emperor’s words.

“Shouldn’t we strike a balance?”

“What do you mean?”

“Since the emperor faction was hit, it would be fair to hit the noble faction and the neutral faction as well.”

The emperor’s expression softened slightly at Kariel’s words.

“Hmm, can you?”

“Yes, I already have the evidence, so all I have to do is move.”

“good night. I will trust you one more time.”

Kariel smiled at the emperor’s words and lowered her head.

“Yes, I will do my best so that Your Majesty’s honor will not be tarnished.”

The emperor looked at Kariel, who lowered his head as he answered, and nodded with satisfaction.

I got up from my seat with the words that I would go away.

But just then, the emperor spoke to Kariel.

“But let’s stop at this point of arresting the people in the imperial palace. It is also not good to take too many people at once.”

“I will.”

With a satisfied expression on the prince’s answer, he sent Kariel off with the words to ask for anything you need at any time.

After the conversation with the emperor, Kariel headed straight to the carriage. Tarion, who was waiting in the carriage, asked with a worried face.

“Your Highness, with Her Majesty… … .”

“It ended well. We have to kill the aristocrats and neutrals as planned.”

“I will prepare.”

When Tarion lowered his head and answered, Kariel looked at him and said,

“ah! And don’t touch the imperial palace any more.”

Tarion’s face darkened as he imagined what kind of promise he would have made with the emperor at Kariel’s words.

“I’m not going to make that face. I can’t do it officially anyway, but Tarion just has to keep doing what he’s doing.”

“… … Yes?”

Kariel said with an evil smile at Tarion, who had a puzzled look on his face.

“You’re going to hit the aristocrats and the neutrals. Then the capital will be confused for a while, right?”

“U-isn’t it?”

“Then if we use what we have, will they suspect us?”

At Kariel’s words, Tarion tilted his head and replied.

“Oh no?”

“Will it work if I use alien worlds against factions that have been officially punished?”

“Sat, will it work?”

Kariel asked with a smile on Tarion’s answer.

“Let’s put some firewood in at the right time and see. How far do they run wild, biting each other?”

At Kariel’s words, Tarion trembled as if he was afraid.

Seeing Tarion’s expression as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen for some reason, Kariel patted him on the arm as if telling him not to be frightened and headed for the crown prince’s womb.

***

and the next day.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations that the emperor’s call would dampen his momentum, the prince began to rampage even more.

‘The next target is you guys.’

As if saying this, Kariel extensively uncovers the corruption of the aristocrats and neutrals.

Although it was limited to corruption within the imperial palace, it did not matter.

It was enough to hit the aristocrats and neutrals with only the accumulated corruption.

A few days later, a picture was posted on the plaza poster.

‘Crazy prince and the people who support him’

The picture with this title on it depicts a prince dancing a sword dance, nobles running away from him, and cheering people.
