The Prince Wants To Retire

35. coronation!

Finally, the long and protracted suppression of the rebels was over.

Contrary to the idea that the subjugation forces would return as soon as they received the report, they headed further south.

It was to help Duke Dave’s army struggling.

This is because as the defeat of the rebels deepened, all those who had fled flocked to the Small Powers Alliance.

As those who had fled to a small country to survive, waged the final resistance, Duke Dave of the world had no choice but to struggle.

“Are you going to approve Luffiel’s decision?”

After muttering like that, Kariel put Tharion’s report next to him and looked at the map.

The escape route of the rebels and the formation of the allied forces of small countries were displayed in detail. I adjusted them again and placed the flags according to the current situation.

Then, the red flag, which symbolizes the rebels, also became a form in which the majority of them escaped from within the empire.

Because of this, Seriel still couldn’t destroy the small country alliance, but even that could only be blamed on herself.

If you twist it, you should have won against the small country alliance first.

“Is the only thing left to do is the coalition of small countries?”

“Yes.”

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

Now, all that was left on the map was the black flags symbolizing the coalition of small countries. This is because the red flags were no different from their army as long as they joined the small country coalition.

“Still, I let go.”

Kariel nodded at Tarion’s words.

As the rebels were suppressed, a great number of reports from the South disappeared.

Reports coming in from each region of the South once every half a day paralyzed the work, but that disappeared.

Post-war processing remains, but it was not urgent.

“Since the work has decreased, the bureaucrats will also be relieved.”

“It will.”

Tarion also let out a long breath as if he had taken a breather.

“Now all that really remains are the enemies outside.”

“Yes.”

Only now did we finally get a chance to properly crack down on the inside.

“How long do you think the subjugation of the small country alliance will take?”

“They say it will take a month.”

“Put a flue on the Southern Marquis, join them and wipe it out.”

At Kariel’s command, Tarion said with a worried expression.

“In that case, Roteon will be the problem.”

“I do not care. The coronation ceremony can be held as soon as the suppression of the rebels is over. Then we can buy at least some time.”

I will request envoys from each country through the justification that the emperor of the empire is officially enthroned.

If so, Iron will also enter a lull, albeit for a while.

Then it will be difficult for Roteon to intervene immediately as well.

“and… … Your Majesty, the leader of the rebels has survived.”

“Didn’t you say he was dead?”

A report came up saying that the person who called himself Dariel was dead after all.

Dariel, who resisted until the end by spraying power close to the master, was eventually defeated without being able to cross the stronghold of the Duke of Wilkshire.

He was so talented that he probably wouldn’t have become a Master if he had given more time.

As he died, the demoralized rebels collapsed in a chain, and that led to the current state.

“Yes, Derek is dead. The one captured is the Belpurs family.”

“Uncle?”

Tarion nodded slightly at Kariel’s question.

“And here.”

“West side?”

“Yes, a letter from the Margrave of the West himself.”

At Tarion’s words, Kariel opened the black envelope and read it slowly.

“… … Did you catch your aunt too?”

In fact, a woman who is no different from the actual head of Belpurus.

She, too, was eventually captured when the pirates of the West were destroyed by the Western Army.

With this, all the main axes of the forces that were trying to shake the empire were captured.

“Are the pirates wiped out?”

The Minister of Home Affairs, who was quietly listening next to him, asked with a bright face.

“That’s not right. But it looks like it was smashed.”

They didn’t destroy all the pirates, but they did destroy their stronghold. As a result, there is a high possibility that the western pirates will be scattered again.

There is a possibility that Iron will settle on an island nearby due to the sudden change, but at least it will be difficult to roam around in the waters near the Empire.

“This has reduced one more job.”

The Minister of Home Affairs smiled broadly at Kariel’s words.

Seeing him like that, Kariel also smiled.

In a situation where everyone was happy, Tarion asked with a heavy expression.

“Belphus… … What are you going to do?”

Kariel, who was smiling at Tharion’s question, looked at him quietly.

“I must kill you.”

Kariel answered firmly.

Killing a bloodline carries great risks.

They all tried to keep them alive as much as possible later, because they might be labeled as scoundrels.

But Kariel had no intention of carrying the dangerous molecule.

In the future, the Empire was more likely to face greater risks. In such a situation, leave those who can shake the empire?

It was crazy.

“When he planned the rebellion, he would have risked his own death.”

Even the Minister of Home Affairs, who he thought would end up being exiled, looked at Kariel with a surprised expression.

Even the Minister of Home Affairs tried to block it with a worried expression, but then he bowed his head.

Because Kariel’s determined eyes didn’t even give him the slightest chance to bend his thoughts.

“I finish everything before the subjugation army arrives. Know that and be prepared.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

As the Minister of Home Affairs bowed his head and stepped back, he looked at Tarion.

“From now on until my coronation, take care of all the remnants of the Empire.”

“Are you going to call even those who are outside?”

At Tarion’s question, Kariel nodded slightly.

I had to do a major cleaning from now on.

After being completely cleaned until Kariel’s coronation, they had to unite while dealing with external enemies with rapid development as a clean empire.

Until now, we have been fighting inside, but now that we have a clear enemy outside, we will have no choice but to unite for a while.

“Get ready.”

“Yes.”

When Tarion left, Kariel sighed and looked at the map.

It was a map of the entire eastern and western continents.

Looking at the Empire, it seems that only the western continent has turned into a mess, but the state of the eastern continent was not very good either.

Looking at the wars to come, the power of the entire Western Continent would be weakened, but it didn’t matter. This is because a large-scale war was already taking place on the eastern continent, with wars raging everywhere.

Kariel believed that this situation in the eastern continent would also have the influence of the warlocks who had passed over there.

As soon as they crossed over, they drove out the crazy people who caused problems from the western continent, so it was a business that remained. Because other countries are at least talkative people, there is a possibility of a power outage if damage accumulates.

‘Warlocks don’t have that.’

Just thinking of them, Kariel trembles as if his teeth are trembling.

“after… … After all, it’s a real coronation.”

In the previous life, it ended in a simple way because it was rushed after the sudden death of the emperor.

But this time it will be different.

This is because it will be quite splendid as the coronation ceremony will be held as well as a victory ceremony against the Rebel Army and the Small Country Alliance.

The reason why he was so unreasonable for living without it was because of his intention to postpone the war even for a moment while inviting all the countries on the continent.

The budget would be quite large, but if the war could be postponed, it was a surplus business.

Knowing this, the Minister of Home Affairs had no choice but to work with a considerable burden.

* * *

By the time the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs began to work day and night, preparing for the coronation.

“Suppress the rebels! Now, only the Allied Forces of the Small Powers are left!”

“The Duke of Walkshire who subdued the rebel leader who was close to the Master. Is the state of a mage in front of you?」

When news of the suppression of the rebels was released, the people of the Empire began to cheer.

At the same time, the subjugation army, the conquest army, and the southern army joined in to wipe out the small power alliance, and the sluggish war was also rapidly gaining victory.

Then Roteon and Seongguk urgently gathered the army to the west.

They moved as if they were going to intervene in Iron at any moment, but the northern border was blocked by the northern border, and Roteon had no choice but to stop advancing when the western border seemed to press as if they would enter Iron at any moment.

Meanwhile, Tharion’s Intelligence Department and Podolski’s Inspection Department worked together to scour the southern part of the Empire to uncover all the hidden remnants.

With the remnants of the rebels arriving by the hundreds every day, those who had been waiting for so long finally arrived in the capital.

“Your Majesty, they say they have arrived.”

“… … Branch.”

Cariel got up from his seat at the words of the valet, put on his coat and went out of the office.

“they are?”

“It’s in the Imperial Palace.”

“Move to the square.”

In response to the chief’s answer, the head of Belfurs and the previous hostess were moved to the square.

“… … Your Majesty, are you planning to do it yourself?”

The chamberlain asked with a worried expression.

“Still, I was once in the royal family, so I have to do it myself.”

It is a family that has committed the treacherous crime of rebellion. There was no way to leave a precedent for keeping them alive in the form of exile.

Since they had already been sentenced to death by the imperial order, Kariel intended to wipe out the remnants of confusion by immediately executing them without wasting time.

Of course, as they were once members of the royal family and had saddest stories, they were thinking of finishing it themselves to protect the minimum honor.

“Tell all the people of the empire in the capital. You’ve worked hard so far, so you should give the traitors a chance to see the end.”

“Yes.”

At Kariel’s order, a nearby attendant hurriedly ran to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Kariel deliberately slowly headed towards the plaza to give time for the people of the empire to gather at the plaza.

Due to his consideration, a large number of people gathered in the plaza before he knew it.

“The execution ceremony as soon as you arrive… … .”

“His Majesty is also determined.”

“You’re willing to give me no room.”

All those gathered in the plaza murmured.

Contrary to the fact that he knew that he would be exiled by dragging on, Kariel wanted to execute the royal family himself.

Arriving at the plaza, Kariel looked at the people on the guillotine.

The nobles of the rebel side lined up with the Belfurs family. Their eyes were full of fear.

“I have no intention of showing mercy to those who join the rebellion. There must be some people with pitiful stories, but there were several opportunities to receive forgiveness of sins. It was you who kicked that opportunity, so think no more mercy.”

Having said that, Kariel pointed out the Belpurse family head and the previous hostess with a hand gesture.

Then, a middle-aged man and an old man were the first to be brought out in front of the guillotine.

“He was once a member of the royal family, and he has pitiful circumstances… … Collaborating with a warlock, and bringing great danger to the empire, is a serious sin that cannot be forgiven.”

Having said that, Kariel looked at the head of Belpurus.

Then he too faced Kariel.

The eyes of the head of state filled with confusion.

He, too, had heard of Kariel well.

A person who tried to pass the throne to his talented younger siblings, but ended up ascending to the throne because of his overwhelming talent.

As soon as he felt that the man who had saved the empire from danger wanted to protect his last honor, the feeling of regret rushed into his heart.

“… … I have no regrets for losing to someone like you.”

At the voice of the Belfurs family head, Kariel bowed her head, even if it was small, and gave her final thanks. Then, the previous hostess next to her also lowered her head slightly towards Kariel.

A woman of misfortune who had no choice but to be pushed out despite her talent.

She also accepted her last words by raising her last bow to Kariel.

“The story of the two of you will be recorded in history without adding or subtracting.”

After protecting the last honor of the two, Kariel gave a glance and the executioners moved.

Shortly thereafter, the head of the head of the household, tied to the guillotine, fell.

And starting with that, hundreds of people who joined the rebels died one after another.

It was a cruel look, but Kariel kept the position until the last person died.

When all the main figures of the rebel army were killed and the capital was enveloped in vicious energy, the news of victory finally came in that the small country’s allied forces had won.

“The war against the Alliance of Small Powers ends in the victory of the Empire!”

“Everything is over. Now all that is left is the coronation.”

“Finally, His Majesty’s coronation is held!”
