The Prince Wants To Retire

11. The strongest knight I met again (2)

Cariel, who returned to the Crown Prince’s womb, had a smile on his lips until the moment he fell asleep as his retirement drew near.

In fact, Kariel didn’t plan to retire so quickly.

But when I looked back at the situation, I was desperate because I could see clearly the path of hardship.

When I finally got the chance to summon the Grand Duke, I decided to retire without procrastinating any longer.

– Faster than planned?

“I was lucky.”

At Surt’s words, Kariel said with a smile on his lips.

Certainly, the present situation was no different from a coincidence of luck.

Because everything went according to Kariel’s intention, the retirement angle was set much faster than expected.

– Solving a complicated situation like this… … . After all, one head is clever.

Situations that were so complicated that Surt was sick of hearing about them.

Beyond resolving it, I couldn’t help but admire when I finally got the retirement angle I wanted so much.

“exactly. I’m one step ahead of you in terms of hair.”

Kariel said while raising her chin.

Certainly not long ago, I thought that it would be fortunate to just organize a complicated situation, but I was proud of myself for going beyond that and holding the angle of retirement.

-Hey, I was once the king of giants. If it’s politics, I didn’t kneel anywhere.

“Then why are you like that now?”

Kariel looked at Surt with a pitiful expression and asked.

Surt disappears in a state of disgust when a slightly complicated situation arises.

Looking at his appearance now, he could clearly see the days when he was king.

– Hmmm! It’s been sealed for a long time, so the rank has been lowered… … .

“What does it have to do with rolling your head?”

-It’s because it’s a little difficult to think because the soul is shrinking. Really? Really.

Seeing the unbelieving Kariel, Surt told the story of when he ruled Muspelheim in the past, but Kariel’s suspicious gaze did not change.

“No bullshit, how about Glenn? You whined that you wanted to see me.”

Surt, who was making excuses for Kariel’s question, shut his mouth for a moment, then rubbed his chin with his cute arm and fell into thought.

-I do not know. You can’t know anything unless you see them fighting in person.

Glenn, the sword of the empire that once rose to the ranks of the strongest on the continent.

But now, let alone the level at that time, I had no choice but to be ambiguous because I had not even reached the level of a Master.

Surt is also in a parasitic situation where his rank has been reduced infinitely, so I couldn’t figure it out at this stage.

– It was pretty good though.

Even though he was still young, Surt smiled brightly as he felt Glenn’s magical energy that didn’t flow out at all.

– It was surprising how much magic he captured at such a young age. Isn’t that guy the same age as your brothers?

“right.”

– He’s a monster. It’s certainly not strange that I became a Grand Master at such a young age.

Surt nodded his head as if in acknowledgment.

“Well, yes, it’s still before awakening.”

Kariel still couldn’t forget a scene he had witnessed in a previous life.

Glenn appeared as he completely restored the first archduke’s weapon and transformed it to suit him.

Even now, when I recall the sight of the parting of the clouds I saw when I drew my sword toward the sky to show my enlightenment, I still get a shudder.

“Maybe it will be faster this time.”

Kariel muttered that while drawing a smile on her lips.

What if the current situation of three masters includes Glenn, who became a grand master?

I can assure you that it would be difficult for the empire to be damaged by the invasion of warlocks or attacks by neighboring countries.

– I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about.

Knowing the difference between a Grand Master and a Master, Surt nodded and said,

“Rather, if you mess with the empire, you can make a cause and expand the territory.”

Kariel licked her lips thinking so.

He drew a smile imagining what it would be like if he had been in that situation when he was the emperor, then hurriedly hardened his expression.

“What am I thinking… … .”

Surtur narrowed his eyes and said to Kariel, who hurriedly shook his head.

-You actually want to become an emperor… … .

“Do you want to be reverse summoned?”

-… … I couldn’t have thought

When Kariel spoke with a straight face, Surt quickly changed her words and cleared her throat.

– Hmmm! More than that, the grand duke and the nobleman seemed fine.

“okay?”

Kariel showed a surprised expression.

This is because it is known that the current head of the grand duke’s family does not have great talent in swordsmanship like the previous grand duke.

-okay. It seems that he has more perfect control over his mana than Glenn.

“Then there’s no way Tarion would notice… … .”

-It must be because it is similar to that guy.

Kariel’s eyes began to tremble violently at Surt’s words.

“Is it really?”

-okay. You thought I was weak at first too? When I knelt down to you, I lost control for a moment, as if my emotions were intensifying, but then I only noticed.

Surprise filled Kariel’s face at Surt’s words.

“Are you really at Tarion’s level?”

-Is it Davy? Compared to that duke, it’s not very good, but unlike the other guys, he completely hides it, so he seems to be on the same level as your servant, right?

Surt tilted his head in response to Kariel’s question and said.

– But there was something strange.

“the weird part?”

– Should I say something is wrong? It went by so quickly I’m not sure.

At Surt’s words, Kariel frowned.

But, as he said, it was so fleeting that he couldn’t have known for sure.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about it.”

They’re going to retire anyway, so the rest is up to them to figure out.

With the promise of enormous support and the provision of the first archduke’s sword, Kariel had done everything she could.

“Wait, Surtr. How are the other knights of the Grand Duchy?”

– The guys who came along? Well… … I don’t know the details. However, in terms of his apparent momentum, he was running a bit faster than the imperial palace knights?

When Surt said that, he said he wasn’t sure.

As you reach higher levels, you can control the amount of momentum you show, so you can deliberately look weak like the Grand Duke.

Kariel, who had been listening to Surt, hurriedly called Tarion to confirm.

“Well, it’s definitely not as good as the shadows, but it seems to be on par with the elite imperial palace knights.”

Kariel’s expression hardened at Tarion’s words.

‘A place with this level of power was destroyed?’

The Grand Duchess was wiped out in his previous life, leaving only one Glenn.

That said, I thought Belfurs’ potential might be much stronger than expected.

If Belpurse’s potential was as strong as Kariel had predicted, it wouldn’t make sense for him to remain calm like this.

No matter how much the Marquis and the Central Army surrounded it, it did not make sense to wait for the planned destruction.

Unlike when he destroyed the grand duchy in his previous life, he moved it a few years earlier, but he still stays calm as long as he has the power he has?

“It feels cheap.”

“Do you have a problem with something?”

“Belfurth is too calm.”

As Kariel said that, she was lost in thought.

“Isn’t it because you’re under siege?”

At Tarion’s words, Kariel said that she wished it was, but it was not her feeling.

“I must write down the number before I leave.”

“Do you have a way?”

Tarion asked, tilting his head.

Since the Central Army and the Western Marquis had already been mobilized, there was nothing more to do militarily.

The North was busy keeping the Holy State in check, while the Confederate Army had to monitor the Confederacy and neighboring countries.

The Eastern Army was also busy catching pirates coming through the strait and criminal groups in the eastern continent coming through the principality.

All that was left was the nobles, but they too were busy moving along with the two princes.

“I need to call Belphus to the Imperial Palace.”

“Is it possible?”

“I have to come and explain. They’re laying the board out to explain that the dark merchants have nothing to do with the love of warlocks.”

“It’s an outsider.”

At Tarion’s words, Kariel smiled.

“If he doesn’t come, we must assemble the army immediately.”

Tarion nodded at Kariel’s words.

It felt a bit urgent, but it wasn’t a bad decision.

“No matter how they are, it will be difficult for them to handle both the Western Allied Forces and the Central Forces at the same time.”

“What are you talking about? The two dukes should also participate in the war.”

At Kariel’s words, Tarion’s eyes widened.

“You mean them?”

“If it’s a warlock and a black trader, it could be related to those who attacked me, so it’s a reason to move the two dukes.”

“Is it necessary to do that?”

When Tarion said that it seemed too much, Kariel shook her head.

“I have to be sure. If you try to deal with it roughly, you can bleed.”

I dealt with it roughly in my previous life, but I tried to deal with it with certainty because I had a bloody experience.

Leaving Belpurs alone could put him at risk even when he retired, so he had to completely destroy it.

Moreover, before he could retire, he had to make the warlocks a public enemy, at least completely expelling them from this western continent.

That way, you can safely enjoy your YOLO life.

“There is even a Master, so we can be prepared for any contingency.”

There’s an outstanding figure named Duke David, so he’ll be able to handle whatever he takes.

Because the Master was like that.

***

When the Crown Prince had work to do before he retired, he suddenly became busy.

1. Persuade the emperor to give one of the grand duke’s arms from the copy of the first grand duke’s weapon and the imperial palace report to strengthen the grand duke’s power.

2. Call Belfurs to the Imperial Palace. In case of refusal, prepare to move the two dukes to the west.

3. Using the suspected connection with the warlock as an excuse, press the Confederacy and the Confederacy to send an envoy to the Empire.

4. Continental Congress is held to define warlocks as public enemies and drive them out of the West Continent.

Kariel, who quickly organized her work, moved immediately.

1 and 2 are things that can be done right now, so I went into preliminary work.

In cases like No. 3 and No. 4, you can create the foundation yourself and leave the rest to your younger siblings.

Perhaps the way you deal with the Warlock will determine whether or not you get the Crown Prince position.

“The future is for the younger brothers! I just do what I have to do and jump.”

With that in mind, I went straight to the Imperial Palace.

“your majesty.”

“After that, do whatever you want.”

As if tired of the emperor, he waved his hand toward Kariel.

Seeing such an emperor, Kariel, who had a smile of conversion, bowed down and cautiously went out.

“Did you hear that? Deliver it to the Imperial Library.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The vassal of the Imperial Palace politely bowed his back and hurriedly retreated.

Kariel, who was satisfied with that appearance, smiled as she thought of Glenn when she heard the news.

Because Kariel worked hard to get the emperor’s permission, she was genuinely happy when the results came out.

What he did for Glenn was to visit the Emperor every day.

On the pretext of saying hello, I visited him early in the morning and subtly explained the justification for supporting the grand duke’s family.

Then, around evening, I went to see him to have dinner with him.

If it’s not possible because I’m busy, I’ll visit the next day to say hello, and I’ll crush it until lunch, and I’ll eat it until lunch.

In the meantime, he secretly brought up the story of the support of the grand duke’s family, and later, as if the emperor was tired of it, he was disgusted and told him to shut up.

As a result, after only a few days, the emperor gave permission as if he was tired of it.

“Tarion!”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Tarion hurriedly ran to Kariel’s call.

“Go to the Ministry of Justice and ask them to summon Count Belfurs and the former Countess. The Ministry of Home Affairs is requesting His Majesty’s official assent. Notify the noble council.”

“All right.”

“Notify the Inspection Department and tell them to assemble an investigation team to investigate Belpurs. If the Ministry of Justice permits it, ask for compulsory execution.”

“Yes!”

As soon as Tarion answered, Kariel smiled contentedly.

“This is the end of number 2. Is number 1 left?”

Kariel muttered that and hurriedly went to find Glenn.

I felt that my light steps today would only lead to good things in the future.

“Somehow it feels good.”
