The Prince Wants To Retire

27. Let the YOLO Life begin!

After finishing her schedule in the principality, Kariel left for the conflict area.

As soon as it was over, he left as if he were running away.

The justification was to look at the still uneasy disputed area, but no one believed it because they left for a resort rather than the border area between the Empire and Talos, where the sense of crisis is rising.

“Are you that good?”

“then. This is the real retirement.”

In response to Tarion’s words, Kariel smiled broadly in response.

I thought it would all be over after the Crown Prince retired, but he’s been through a lot so far. But that’s the real end now.

Contrary to Kariel’s thoughts, Tarion said with a worried expression.

“You will not be able to stay in conflict zones as an excuse forever.”

“know. When the situation is settled, I will go to my estate.”

Kariel smiled as she answered that.

By that time, all the big things will be over. And after that, the younger brothers will fight for the crown prince in earnest, so there will be no time to worry about them.

“Aren’t we supposed to end the coalition of small powers in the conflict zone?”

“The Eastern Commander will take care of it. If there is a difference, the commander of the South can step in.”

As his work in the Principality was finished, Akelio was preparing to return with the central army, and the Knights of the Grand Duchess were also preparing to return to the western region with the western forces.

The things that happened due to the Warlock are also coming to an end.

All that remains is the sporadic rebellion within the Empire and the clearing of the remnants of the warlocks.

But that’s just a small thing compared to what happened on a larger scale.

Moreover, even if the small countries formed an allied force, it would be difficult to deal with any of the great powers of the Western Continent.

How much more should a powerful country do that, an empire?

There was nothing more to say.

“There won’t be anything I have to do myself.”

“Well… … .”

Tarion couldn’t answer and let out a sigh.

Certainly, the Empire has many talented people. It meant that there would be no problem in the empire without a single Kariel.

But I kept feeling anxious.

‘It should be as you wish… … .’

Tarion tried to hide his growing anxiety and agreed with Kariel, who was making plans with an expectant look on what to do at the resort.

Is it because you think it’s all over?

Kariel goes on with a bright smile despite the arduous schedule.

If it had been in the past, I would have been lost in thought the whole time, but now I smiled and looked at the scenery while spouting exclamations.

He even talked to merchants passing by and even bought them.

‘You can afford it.’

A big smile did not leave Kariel’s face, whose troubled expression was evident every day.

* * *

“Ohhh!”

Perhaps it was because he quickly moved away from the capital of the duchy, fearing that he might catch him, so he was able to quickly reach his destination, the resort.

As a famous resort in the western continent, there were stylish buildings with the beautiful sea in the background.

Among the exquisitely constructed buildings with mechanical engineering and antique architecture, the trees that can only be seen in resorts were planted and looked more beautiful than the scenery seen in the south.

“It definitely deserves a name.”

At Tarion’s words, Kariel smiled and said.

“right?”

Cariel headed for the villa while bursting with a satisfied smile.

After that, the knights and attendants of the Imperial Palace followed him with a smile.

This is because, as Kariel, who has not usually touched anything, they can also take a satisfactory rest in this resort.

As soon as Kariel arrived at the villa, she immediately changed clothes and headed to the sea.

At the beach, I went around the resort with the knights who changed into light clothes.

Kariel, who visited the beach on the first day and the city from the second day, went around and looked around the nearby areas as if that wasn’t enough.

“Aren’t you tired?”

“Are you tired? Well… … .”

Kariel, who didn’t feel tired of it, tilted her head.

In my previous life, I couldn’t rest properly because of the war, and I didn’t have time to travel on Earth.

It was because the family was not living well, so I had to work hard.

“Then how about this? Limited to unmarried people, I bet this money on the first person to meet a girlfriend.”

At Kariel’s words, the eyes of the imperial knights and attendants flashed.

Not only the knights of the imperial palace, but Kariel’s attendants also came from the shadows, so they couldn’t be beaten anywhere.

“Are you all confident?”

“Yes!”

“great. Let’s go.”

The subordinates excitedly depart at Kariel’s command.

Seeing them like that, Tarion sighed.

“You didn’t get married either, did you?”

“Because I’m going to have an arranged marriage anyway. I should at least take a look.”

At Kariel’s words, Tarion let out a small sigh.

“What about Tarion? What did you do when you didn’t get married at that age?”

“I did.”

“Did you?”

Tarion smiled bitterly at Kariel’s question and nodded slightly.

“I am divorced.”

“ah… … So what about children?”

As Tharion shook his head slightly, Cariel, who was silent for a moment, said cautiously.

“Think about getting married again. You can’t live alone forever.”

“… … Let’s think about it.”

Cariel nodded his head slightly as he watched Tarion talk with a smile.

Tarion also seemed to have a secret, but it was not easy to ask at this stage.

‘If you look closely, you’re saying that all the SS guys have secrets?’

Cariel tilted his head as he thought of the members of the bodyguards who had unusual secrets one by one, and asked Tharion.

“What are the bodyguards doing?”

“You will be busy carrying out your orders.”

All the SS, who had left the capital to protect Kariel for a while, returned to the Palace of the First Prince.

At the same time, news came that Kariel was working hard to carry out what he had ordered.

What Kariel ordered before leaving the capital.

All of them were unusual orders, so all members of the SS were having a busy day.

“I got a call saying that I was envious.”

Having said that, Tarion smiled.

Unlike his leisurely self, Toto, who has a busy schedule, sent a letter to Tarion whenever he had time to envy him.

“When it’s finished to a certain extent, ask him to come over and play. I have to listen to the things they asked for one by one.”

“Yes, I will tell you that.”

Kariel is determined to give them what they want while revealing the secrets of the SS one by one.

This was all possible because I could afford it.

“ruler! So what are you going to play today?”

Kariel was deep in thought with a look of great anticipation.

Tharion and his attendants looked at that with a smile.

* * *

However, unlike Kariel and the rest of the party, the entire Western Continent turned into a very congested situation.

“The alliance between the Empire and the Principality is concluded! Now the next step is a clan?」

“A huge alliance that leads to Iron-Empire-Principality. What about the rest of the countries?”

「Unofficial Conference between the Confederacy and the Holy Kingdom」

“What will the future of the Western Continent be?”

The alliance between the Empire and the Principality completely split the Holy State and the Confederacy.

That alone was a disadvantage for the remaining countries, and in addition to that, rumors spread that the Empire would begin punishing the small countries.

The Confederacy and the Confederate States strongly protested, but to no avail, because the remaining countries would be seriously threatened if all the countries that had the least buffering effect disappeared.

This is because the empire has made public evidence of crimes committed by small countries.

However, despite the announcement, the small country alliance was not immediately hit.

Contrary to the idea that he could wipe out all the small countries right away, the scale of the rebellion within the empire was unusual.

If the rebellion happened in one place, it would have been easier, but it happened sporadically in each region of the empire, and as warlocks joined the rebellion, it became difficult to subdue it.

In such a situation, the small country coalition secretly began supplying supplies to the rebel forces in the empire.

But that wasn’t the end.

“Down, this… … .”

Tarion urgently delivered a letter to Kariel, who was enjoying a vacation.

The smile disappeared from Kariel’s lips as she saw the letter in a black envelope sent urgently through the shadows.

“Look at these bastards… … .”

A shadowy report that the Confederate States have been secretly providing funds to the Confederacy.

For that reason, the imperial palace contained information that Kariel wanted to put pressure on the conflict area.

“It seems that the situation is not serious. When you are like this… … .”

At Tarion’s words, Kariel sighed and said.

“But I can’t return to the imperial palace.”

“Well… … .”

“It’s not because I’m bothered, it’s because if I return now, it will only add to the unnecessary confusion.”

When Tarion made a suspicious expression, Kariel tightened her eyes as if it was unfair.

Then, Tarion turned his head and nodded.

“Ew, even my subordinates don’t believe me.”

“… … I believe.”

“Is that the face you believe in?”

“Hmmmm!”

Kariel calmly explained to Tarion who cleared his throat.

“listen carefully. Right now, the two princes have begun to divide the power, right?”

“Yes.”

“But what if I go? Are there people who are just suspicious? Isn’t this bastard trying to keep his promise and become the Crown Prince again? Or are you trying to become an emperor right now?”

“I hope.”

“I have. You see it and you know it.”

“There are only a few.”

“The problem is that they are powerful men. Let those guys keep making those claims. Then there will be guys that follow.”

You don’t need to take any risks.

It was best to stay quietly here until the next Crown Prince was born.

But Tarion felt that Kariel was worried too much.

“Twice! First, gather the remaining troops in the conflict area.”

“Are you planning on moving yourself?”

Cariel nodded at Tarion’s question.

Then, Tarion looked at him with a questioning expression. Kariel looked at him with a smile and said.

“It’s not good to just rest too much. Sometimes you have to do something like a pastime so that you can feel the true taste of rest.”

And the commanders of the troops in the conflict area were called together.

“I will briefly explain. From now on, we will press on Talos.”

“Are you all right?”

Cariel nodded at Talos’ question.

“A cause is not enough. The coalition of small countries still has troops left in the conflict area.”

“Aren’t you in Talos?”

“What does that matter, we haven’t even started negotiating disputed areas yet.”

Kariel smiled as she said that.

Talos, who would rather die than share Aesarman between the principality and the empire, kept delaying negotiations.

So it was still officially a disputed territory.

Even though the territory was in fact confirmed, it was officially a disputed area, so the small country coalition was no different from dipping a foot in this disputed area.

Above all, there is circumstantial evidence that the Federation of Small Powers looked after the demons in times of crisis in the Principality.

The cause was overflowing with the Empire beating the Alliance of Small Powers.

By the way, they are in the conflict zone with Talos.

“We are going to fight a small country alliance. know?”

“Yes!”

“great. Start.”

After giving the order, Kariel sat down in a chair and admired the scenery of the emerald sea.

“Can I stay like this?”

“Then! It is only the duty of the commanders to lead the army. The only moment I have to step forward is when they send an envoy with a letter of protest to negotiate.”

After saying that, Kariel leisurely raised a glass of fruit juice.
