The Prince Wants To Retire

30. Kariel’s Dangerous Plan (4)

Daejeon meeting started again.

This time, Kariel, standing in the center like a criminal, silently glared at Winston, the new chancellor.

As soon as the meeting begins, Winston presses on with brilliant speeches.

Why didn’t he remember such a person, Kariel now knew.

A ghost from the past who was forced to retreat by Mussolini.

He had brought the specter back to the center, who had gone out of his way to build a small estate.

In a previous life, it would have been in Mussolini’s era, so he would not have appeared, and after that, he would have died of old age or killed by a monster.

‘Even if it’s a ghost, can’t you ignore the experience?’

Winston thoroughly refutes Kariel’s words from the point of view of the nobles and based on the imperial system.

There was not a single room that was outrageous like Mussolini.

However, even Kariel could not easily break through the thick defense of experience and years.

Kariel drew a smile on her lips as she did not back down even a little and dealt with herself despite being pressured by her status as the first prince.

‘I know very well that I shouldn’t back down from here.’

Usually, once you’ve done this, it’s common to back off a bit and allow some and block others, but Winston didn’t want to allow it at all.

“So what the Prime Minister wants is to kick out all the talented people who are working hard? Then I must quit.”

Kariel shrugged her shoulders as if she had nothing to regret.

The balance maintained by the presence of the first prince.

To match it, one of the princes had to go. Or one of the ministers will have to go and work to rebuild the port, and if you do, no one will go to a place where you will only be cursed.

In addition, Talos had to be checked, and the small countries that worked in the conflict zone had to be taken care of.

“… … Lowering.”

“If you are trying to pamper me, prepare yourself. If it was ordered to develop by throwing it in the port without anything, wouldn’t it be necessary to provide some support?”

Even after Kariel’s words, Winston’s expression didn’t change.

Cariel clicked his tongue as his face was full of stubbornness not to back down.

“Let’s only hire Salem. This is the best I can get away with.”

“after… … Others are somewhat acceptable. However, treason sinners are different. They do not know what impure feelings they hold for the Empire. Besides, don’t you know that some of them are already involved with warlocks?”

“So, you have to watch closely.”

As Kariel said that, he looked at Winston.

“Can’t we just leave it like that forever? If you continue to leave it there for the sins of your predecessors, you will only become a criminal. If you give us a chance to wash away our sins and come out, wouldn’t it naturally be edification?”

“It is just an ideal.”

“Well… … Why don’t we check it out in Salem?”

Saying that, Kariel looked around the nobles.

The persuasion is over.

As long as there is a prime minister anyway, perfect persuasion is difficult. In this case, we have no choice but to create a minimal cause and push forward.

“after… … I have come to see your Majesty.”

He drew out the strongest hand called the Emperor.

Then the nobles began to murmur. Then Winston frowned.

“Are you going to proceed with ignoring the nobles?”

“no.”

As the eyes of the nobles became sharp, Kariel shook her head resolutely.

“If I had planned to do that, I wouldn’t have persuaded me like this.”

At those words, the ministers who knew Kariel’s style well nodded their heads.

The nobles who had already experienced Kariel in the center also shook their heads.

“Give me a chance. An opportunity for them to prove their abilities and assimilate into the imperial system.”

“after… … The local nobles will protest.”

“I promise that no matter what they do, they will not be able to take away the powers of the local lords.”

The powers of lords who have territories.

Some aristocrats began to worry about the word that they would protect it.

Just then, Kariel nailed it.

“I know that there are many nobles who have had illegitimate children. send them too If you have the ability, I’ll use it sparingly.”

Only then did Winston bow his head and withdraw, as if he could no longer be stopped.

Seeing him step back neatly, I could see that he wanted to compromise just this much in the first place.

‘He’s a seasoned nobleman.’

He was stubborn and uncompromising, but he knew exactly when to step back.

Compared to Mussolini, he lags a bit, but not bad.

Because it seems to strike a balance at least.

After the prime minister stepped down, the other nobles lowered their heads as if they couldn’t do anything about it.

In the end, Kariel, who had obtained the consent of all the nobles, left the Great War with the words that he respected the rights of the nobles once again.

“Are you planning to go right away?”

Cariel nodded at the question of the Duke of Wilkshire, who followed.

The emperor’s death was imminent, so there was no time.

He had to come up with a plan to develop the port and immediately move over to the imperial palace.

“Please pass this on to your little brothers.”

“What is this?”

“The future direction of the empire.”

After that, Kariel leaves to prepare to leave for the Eastern Port.

The Duke of Wilkshire, who had been watching his back, hurriedly went to meet the two princes with Duke David.

* * *

The two princes were gathered in Princess Miriel’s palace today as well.

“You mean you left right away?”

“… … Yes.”

The Duke of Wilkshire, who answered the second prince’s question by bowing his head, suddenly left and, instead of comforting the saddened second prince, handed over the letter entrusted to him by Kariel in his arms.

“This… … .”

“… … Is this possible?”

The third prince, who read the letter together, tilted his head and asked.

Then the two dukes also tilted their heads as if they didn’t know.

Kariel’s plan was very dangerous.

It was dangerous both from the inside of the empire and from the perspective of the entire Western Continent.

However, if successful, the empire will take on stability and other countries will take on internal instability.

“One thing is certain: you want to stabilize the empire as soon as possible.”

At Duke Dave’s words, the three men at the table sighed.

It was a plan containing the will to abdicate the throne as soon as possible.

“… … When you come back, the wind will blow again.”

“Ehh… … .”

At the sighs of the two princes, the two dukes only smiled bitterly.

It was because the moment Kariel returned, he could see that the road to hardship would be open.

Nevertheless, the eyes of the dukes strangely changed at the appearance of the two princes, who seemed relieved for some reason.

* * *

While the two princes and dukes were sighing while looking at the homework Kariel had left in the imperial palace, Kariel was busy preparing for the next plan.

“Too sooner than expected.”

The Emperor dies much sooner than in his previous life.

Because of that, all of Kariel’s plans were twisted.

Now she understood why the Emperor had grabbed her and refused to let go.

Although the emperor was bedridden and unable to do anything, he was able to maintain his balance just by being alive.

If such an emperor suddenly dies, the empire will split.

To prevent that, Kariel’s complete retirement had been delayed.

‘It must be the chieftain’s plan.’

The emperor, who was not in good spirits, would not have been able to stop Kariel every time.

The sketch would have been completed by the chief of staff and the emperor by issuing orders whenever his mind was intact.

“I’m going crazy.”

Kariel tossed her hair with a crazy expression and got on the airship.

I thought it would have been better if I had known in advance, but I shook my head.

If that happens, even the happiness you enjoyed for a very short time will be destroyed.

‘Someday I’ll go back.’

Determined to return to those happy days, Kariel headed for Salem.

And as soon as he arrived, he called all the officials together.

“We need to move forward with our plans.”

“Lowering! Even now… … .”

Kariel shook her head as if she would not allow a counterargument.

Realizing that things had gone wrong from that appearance, the bureaucrats quietly bowed their heads.

“How far have you reached your current plan?”

“Two years.”

“It extends to four years. And I plan to advance the existing plan little by little.”

“Even now, the personnel are working without a day off.”

“So we need to increase staff. Since we got permission from the central government, they will come soon.”

At Kariel’s words, the officials’ expressions changed as if they were about to die.

Workers are welcome to come in droves, but it is their job to sort them out and place them in their proper places.

In the end, it meant that the work increased.

“I’ll fill in the bureaucrats, so stop worrying about dying and go out. Oh, you stay.”

At Kariel’s words, Marx Weber was left alone in the office.

“I saw the solution. As long as it’s in this city, I’ll give you freedom.”

“ah… … .”

“only! You will have to prove it.”

Marx swallowed at the voice of Kariel with determination.

“Freedom is lost when they fail to prove their competence.”

“then… … .”

“It’s cruel, but I can’t help it. It was the best I could do.”

At Kariel’s words, Marx bowed as if that was enough.

“thank you.”

“I will stay here for two months. You have to finish everything in it. Whether it’s calling more hidden revolutionaries or quickly rallying criminals, prove anything within two months.”

“… … All right.”

Watching Marx lower his head as if he would seize this opportunity, Kariel gave a small nod and gestured for him to leave.

Then Tarion came in.

“Lowering.”

“I am in a hurry.”

Having said that, Kariel explained what had happened in the center.

“finally… … It works.”

“after… … It’s an annoying situation, but I can’t help it.”

The empire must not be divided.

This could take a serious toll on Kariel’s YOLO life.

If the empire perishes, someone who wants to kill Kariel will eventually appear, no matter how well-behaved Kariel lives.

That’s why the empire had to be strong.

“I try to live quietly, but I keep touching you.”

He said he would live quietly after retirement, but the world interfered with his plans.

At first, the black magician interfered, but this time other countries interfered.

So, I was thinking of getting rid of it all.

“I’m thinking of wiping out the small countries at this point, and making sure that neither the southern nor the Holy Kingdom pays attention to us.”

Looking at Kariel, who was determined once again, Tarion said with a heavy expression.

“… … Intelligence has come in that there are disturbing movements in Iron.”

“already?”

“Yes.”

At Tarion’s words, Kariel pondered for a while and then wrote something down.

“We’ll have to deal with these guys before we destroy the South.”

Something was added to Kariel’s plan.

“Tarion.”

“Yes.”

“If you go up, you will be the head of the intelligence department.”

Kariel’s words startled Tarion.

“For your information, I plan to integrate the shadows directly under the imperial family into the intelligence department.”

“It is dangerous.”

“It is inefficient to operate separately like this. So be prepared If you go up to the center, you will be busier than you are now.”

At Kariel’s words, Tarion’s face became contemplative.

‘I mean more than now!’

Tarion couldn’t bring himself to come out and screamed inwardly.

But I couldn’t whine.

It was because it was clear that Kariel would do just as well.

“I will leave here in two months. And I plan to organize the small countries before His Majesty dies.”

“… … It’s tight.”

“You have to do it. Because the plans for the next one are not as satisfactory.”

“Yes.”

At Kariel’s words, Tarion bowed his head with a firm expression.

Kariel’s notebook on the desk.

If you look at the plans written there, it was because organizing a small country was just a small prank.
