Rogue Prince – Chapter 259

“This is really getting interesting, isn’t it?”

The Summer Break ended, and Lize, Christia, and the others returned to the Royal Academy.
And Lize is making such a villainess face. Even though she’s a klutz. Even though she’s a klutz.

“However, this is the Royal Academy… No, in the first place, isn’t it possible that King Aival is listening in on these conversations about the coup d’état within the kingdom?”
“It’s fine. At least, Monica-san would notice if anyone were eavesdropping around this room, and I don’t mind if the nobles read the inciting declaration I sent them.”
“Why is that?”
“Because, since almost all the nobles agree, it’s impossible for King Aival to crack down on this. Besides, I have control of the Royal Army. He can’t even dispatch troops to suppress it.”

Moreover, within the Royal Palace, the civil officials, including the Prime Minister and ministers, are all on our side. King Aival has no allies left and has already been reduced to a naked king.

“That’s why I think he’s probably stamping his feet in frustration right now.”
“Ufufu… I see. I would certainly like to see such a comical sight.”
“You’ll see it soon.”

That’s right… Since Lize and the others came as representatives of their countries, we can now prove the legitimacy of our cause to foreign nations.
All that’s left is to storm the Royal Palace and demand King Aival’s abdication.

“…Will it go that easily?”
“Liliana?”
“I don’t understand difficult things, but if I were him, I think Lord Hal, you would have taken some kind of action as a kingdom the moment you sent letters to the nobles.”
“Ah…”

I thought so too at that time.
So, with the cooperation of Duke Chevalier, I delivered the inciting declaration to the nobles with the utmost caution.

But, you know… King Aival seems to have deliberately overlooked it.
Probably, he was worried that if he prevented it beforehand, the ‘Harold Coup d’état Incident,’ which is the main Scenario of ‘EnHaza,’ would not occur.

From my point of view, I can only laugh at this situation where he has invited an uncontrollable situation and tightened his own neck as a result of trying to faithfully adhere to the Scenario.

But… King Aival wants me to start a coup d’état that much.
Because that guy has even more benefits from doing so. That’s the only way I can think of it.

“What kind of benefits does that guy get…?”

In a voice that no one could hear, I muttered to myself.
I had been thinking about this all along.

At first, I thought it was to favor Wilfred, the son of his mistress, and make that guy the next king.
But Wilfred failed every time, and when he was finally defeated by me, he quickly abandoned him and made Owen, his illegitimate child, the protagonist instead.

Then, Yuri revealed her identity as a member of King Aival’s side.

At that time, I was shocked by the betrayal, but conversely, thanks to Yuri revealing her identity and telling me a lot of unnecessary things, I realized that King Aival was trying to proceed with the main Scenario of ‘EnHaza.’

What for?

I thought about the reason for a while, but after regaining my memories of my previous life and observing King Aival, I immediately realized that that man, who was short-sighted, arrogant, and emotional, was not fit to be a king.
I can’t believe that such a man was acting for the sake of the kingdom.

Then, it is only natural to judge that he is doing everything for himself.

Of course, I don’t deny the possibility that the common trope of game reincarnation is at play, and that King Aival is acting like this because of it, but if that were the case, the characters, including me, should be forced to act in the same way.
There is also the possibility that I was an exception because I was a reincarnator, but even so, it has nothing to do with the characters other than me.

So, what that guy gets by correctly proceeding with the main Scenario of ‘EnHaza’… No, I don’t know.
I’ll have to ask Yuri about this. Whether she’ll tell me or not is another matter.

“Hal, so when are you going to move?”
“I’m sorry to ask so soon, but at 4:00 AM tonight.”
“Hmm. That’s the best time to launch a surprise attack.”

Carla, with her arms crossed, nodded in satisfaction.
I just remembered that someone said something like that in some game in my previous life, so I tried it, but it seems to be the right answer.

“Then, until then, everyone should rest and prepare for the night… But be careful. There’s no guarantee that King Aival won’t try something.”
“Fufu, I know. Well, I’ll burn them to ashes when that happens.”

Lize smiled like a villainess and returned to her room.
Christia, Carla, Liliana, Cardis, Raphael, and Owen too.

Lloyd? He’s not included in the members of this coup d’état.
Even though he’s a capture character in ‘Galhaza,’ I feel a little bad about making him shoulder something like this…

“Sandra?”
“Lord Hal, we have time until 4:00 AM tonight. How about we have a Sparring match for the first time in a while?”

With that, Sandra smiled.
