Only two more chapters until the end of the main story!
Half a year has passed since I defeated King Aival and Themis, the AI claiming to be a God, and achieved the coup d’état.
The structure of the Dehauvalz Kingdom has changed significantly, and first of all, the next king… unfortunately, has not been decided yet.
The reason is that Cardis, the eldest son, is still attending the Royal Academy and is not reliable enough to be entrusted with the monarchy. That’s the official reason (・・・・).
Haa… this just makes me sigh.
You see, Minister Olson, who has always supported me, hasn’t given up on making me the next king…
Moreover, the Prime Minister and Lord Drake are joining in on the fun and pushing for the same thing, so they are directly opposing the Cardis and Raphael factions, and we can’t come to any agreement at all.
Owen? That guy has lost his biggest patron, King Aival, and has completely withdrawn from the Succession Dispute.
Besides, Owen, who never had any interest in the throne in the first place, looks refreshed to be free from troublesome matters. I’m the one suffering, but I don’t understand.
So, Cardis and Raphael seem to be continuing to compete for the next king.
However, Raphael’s desire for revenge against Margaret, the First Queen, has faded, and he seems to genuinely want to be king.
The same goes for Cardis, who has been freed from Margaret’s curse and has chosen to aim for the throne after careful consideration.
His expression when he told me that was very refreshing.
Even if I manage to successfully fade out of the Succession Dispute, I’m still faced with the future of being pestered by these two who want me as their right-hand man, and I’m discussing with Sandra and Monica how to escape.
Oh, right. Speaking of Margaret, who I just mentioned, her past actions have been exposed by Cardis, and she is now imprisoned in Kaditt Tower, just like Wilfred.
Although she lives in a dimly lit prison with no sunlight, Cardis seems to check on her from time to time. I would never go.
With these circumstances, a provisional government consisting of the Prime Minister and other high-ranking civil officials has been established to handle the affairs of state for the time being.
Personally, I think it would be better for the future if we transitioned to a republic, but apparently, that’s not possible.
Well, everyone, including the nobles and the people, would be confused if we suddenly said something like that.
As for the security within the kingdom, Lord Drake has been appointed as Marshal and is in charge of all military affairs of the kingdom.
He was already in control of the military, so this was decided smoothly.
However, Lord Drake complains every time we meet because he has been flooded with a large amount of work.
In such cases, we have a Sparring match to relieve his stress.
Regarding relations with other countries, Minister Olson has used his skills to not only maintain the relationships we had before the coup d’état, but also to build even better relationships.
It was a big deal that the Capetien Kingdom and the Barthian Holy Kingdom expressed their intention to continue their friendly relations with this country.
Of course, Lize, Christia, and Carla worked on their home countries behind the scenes. I am truly grateful to the three of them.
Well… that’s enough about the kingdom.
Next, I will report on my ‘Precious Things.’
First of all, about Liliana, the heroine of ‘Galhaza,’ she is still spending her days shamelessly saying that meat is her lover.
Cardis and the others have finally come to understand this, and now they give her rare and delicious meat as a gift, rather than dazzling jewels.
Speaking of which, Liliana was complaining about that the other day.
Apparently, she said, ‘I’d be happier with cheap meat that I can eat a lot of and that’s chewy, but they don’t understand!’
This particularity is typical of Liliana, who used to be a commoner, but at least Cardis and the others will continue to be at her mercy.
Next is Yuri.
After defeating Themis, he chose to part ways with us.
Although we tried to stop him, his will was firm, and he said that he would be traveling around the world for the time being.
However, he had always been at Themis’s beck and call, and he said with a very refreshing expression that he wanted to ‘enjoy the freedom he had obtained for the first time,’ so I gladly sent him off.
But when I told him that ‘you can come back anytime,’ Yuri cried a lot.
Oh, right, speaking of crying, there’s Lloyd.
He fell in love with the same person twice in his life (and it was a man), and he was run away from before he could even confess.
After Yuri left, he was always moping around, saying, ‘I should have just confessed,’ which was annoying. I don’t care.
Lize, the main heroine of ‘EnHaza’ and the Incompetent Villainess, is still showing off her tsundere side as if she’s completely head over heels, and everyone at the academy, including the teachers, is watching over her with warm eyes.
So much so that the ‘Lize Distant Watching Squad’ has been formed.
I was targeted by this ‘Lize Distant Watching Squad.’
They were making outrageous claims, saying things like, ‘Why don’t you respond to Lize-chi’s Feelings!’ and ‘Give me back my Lize-chi!’
But she’s being called “Lize-chi.” Hilarious.
As for Christia, her smile is still that of a Saint, but her black-heartedness is becoming more and more polished.
The biggest victims are Lize and Carla, and the sight of Lize and Carla being tricked by her and arriving late to protest fiercely when they are having lunch with Christia during lunch break has now become a familiar sight at the academy.
I mean, I think the two of them, who are always being tricked by Christia, are also to blame. They should learn to be suspicious.
And as for Carla, she has been challenging me to Sparring more than ever, and now we have a Sparring match almost every day after school.
Moreover, she is quite a strong character in Galhaza, so she is steadily improving her skills, and she has already far surpassed the specs when ‘EnHaza’ is fully completed.
However.
‘W-Well… if I, if I win against Lord Hal, I have one request that I want you to grant.’
Because she says it with a bright red face, I almost misunderstand.
Every time, I am cornered by Lize and Christia, and glared at by Sandra, whose crimson eyes have lost their highlights.
And.
“Master. Permission to execute this person.”
…Today, again, Lyra is saying such things.
