"In the name of the queen of the kingdom of Libel, Alicia von Oselles, canonized Kolotia von Oselles as the crown princess." In the somewhat humble venue, the ceremony of establishing the prince of the Liber Kingdom was underway. As the kingdom is currently facing an unprecedented crisis, what should have been a grand and grand scene has become much simpler. Princess Colotia didn't care. She fell to her knees on one knee and waited for her grandmother, the current Majesty the Queen, to place a wreath of flowers on her head, symbolizing the crown of the Crown - and in an instant, applause rang out.

The act of establishing the prince was a shot in the arm for the entire kingdom at this moment, and the ceremony of the princess's summoning from the "El Seyu" to the palace was over, and it was not twelve hours in total. Except for a short break, the princess had not closed her eyes for a long time, so she had to counteract the fatigue with heavy makeup.

"Hehe, look at your kid in a hurry." Looking at the appearance of her granddaughter hurriedly removing her makeup with the help of several maids after the ceremony, the queen smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you recuperate in this royal city first?" You're not Estelle and the others who practice martial arts, you don't have such a strong and powerful physique. ”

"No...... Grandmother. The situation is urgent, everyone is fighting for the future of this country, how can I escape at this time? "And I've heard that Brigadier General Cassius has already informed you that the next step in the Society's current actions is to attack the royal capital?" I'm going to fight too. ”

"You kid...... You don't want to do things you enjoy, but you don't hesitate to take risks. The queen said the words of blame, but there was no hint of blame in her tone, "That's it...... Just do what you want. It just so happens that you have also come to know the country anew. ”

"Hmm...... Grandmother also worked hard. "Then again, the thing that Brigadier General Cassius said...... Do you have a plan for it? ”

"It's very difficult to mobilize troops everywhere at the moment...... If, as Cassius said, the association had invested all the executors and most of the chasseur troops, it would have been difficult to hold on to the city with the existing guards and royal city guards. "But Cassius said that he had found a suitable and reliable helper...... I believe in him. ”

"Oh, although the ceremony is simple, but the performances of the protagonists are really genuine." In a private house in the royal capital, Hailiga looked at the man with onion-like hairstyle on the side, clapped his hands excitedly at the broadcast screen, and teased, "Colonel Richard thinks so too." ”

"Huh...... Please don't do that, I'm not a colonel anymore. Richard smiled bitterly and took a sip of black tea, and the woman next to him immediately added hot water to him, and her movements were gentle and tactful, and she couldn't see that she had been a female officer with strong wrists, but more like a gentle and intellectual woman.

"Hehe, it looks like a very good life, right? Her Majesty seems to have said that as long as the troubles caused by this mutation are solved, this kind of life may be the norm for you. Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Hailiga teased.

"yes...... Your Majesty and Your Excellency the Brigadier General actually ...... to me like this, "If Richard during the coup d'état was like a sword that had just been unsheathed, and his edge was unmatched, then now he has restrained a trace of murder after tasting blood, and has become more steady," Speaking of which, I heard that you also played a role in this matter? ”

"Ah...... I'm just telling them the truth about the fact that you're controlled by the professor...... The specific judgment is made by themselves, and it has nothing to do with me. Heliga nodded, then shook his head again, "Is it a contribution...... It's up to you. ”

"Of course it is. Please accept my thanks. ”

"Well, it doesn't have to be so formal...... Richard...... Sir, don't you still have something to do? ”

"yes...... Contact has been sent. Richard mused, "Will they respond to me, the man who ruined their future...... Actually, I don't have a bottom either. But it doesn't matter, if they don't come, I won't blame them. When the time comes, let me be alone and give this life to Liber...... This is the last bit I can contribute to His Majesty. ”

"They will. As Mr. Cassius mentioned, one of your greatest weaknesses is that you are always hesitant to handle some important things, especially those that concern you. Have faith in your leadership and prestige. ”

"I'll just thank you for your encouragement...... But then again, I'm still a little confused. ”

"What is it?" Helriga asked, taking a sip of the black tea that was about to cool down.

"Why...... Would you be so concerned about Liberal? After thinking about it, Richard asked the question he had been wondering about for a long time, "I know you and Estelle have a good relationship, but that shouldn't be that way, right?" Although I prefer to believe that it is your friendship that is strong, but years of experience in high positions have made me feel that you have other plans. ”

"Your experience is right. My personal aim, of course, is not to make Liber better. But keeping Liber safe is part of my interest. Because at present, the purpose of me is to ...... the association. And Liber is naturally the most important ally standing in this ring at the moment. ”

"Against associations?" Richard paused for a moment, he didn't expect to hear this result, "You mean, it's not the Empire—"

"I see what you mean...... Mr. Richard, but it's a pity. No. My family was born into the border nobles of the empire, and my father was reluctant to side with the nobles, but the duke did everything he could to obstruct it, so he had to agree to join their plan. So nominally we are the power of the Duke's family, but in reality I will not do anything for the Duke's family. As for the reformers led by the prime minister...... At least it doesn't have anything to do with me yet. ”

"Well......" The young man's expression did not seem to be fake, and Richard ostensibly believed it—of course, secretly he still had to check it a little, "Then why are you so hostile to the association?" ”

"Ah, that's a pretty understandable question." Hearing Richard's question, Helriga laughed instead, "Let's put it this way, Mr. Richard, what would you do if someone wanted to do Liber badly?" ”

“…… Sanction him. There was a fierce glint in Richard's eyes.

"That's it. The association also touched my scales...... Especially Wiseman. Heiliga sighed, "Now you understand, right?" ”

"yes...... I totally get it. Richard took a deep breath - he might not understand anything else, but he could fully understand the realization of dedicating himself to the things he had to protect for the rest of his life, even at the cost of becoming a demon.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous corner of the room, a communicator suddenly lit up red.

"I actually handed over one of the precious equipment that the doctor made to you...... It seems that Brigadier General Cassius does trust you. Seeing Richard solemnly walk up to the communicator and say something anxiously, Helliga said inwardly approvingly, "In short, the things entrusted to him have been explained...... Now it's time to do your own thing. ”
