Episode 111 A sure hit (1)
Inside a spacious room.
Lois and the twins squatted on a long sofa.
Fabro was standing behind him.
Lois smiled brightly at Paige, who was sitting across from her.
“20 minutes have passed?”
“… … .”
How could I not be happy since I already earned 40 gold without doing anything?
On the other hand, Paige’s face was rotten.
Lois, who had been staring at her, slightly turned her gaze to the side.
There sat Greg, who seemed to have run away from home.
Lois’ expression crumpled slightly when she saw this.
“Is that old man really necessary?”
“… “I really need this person for what I’m going to talk about from now on.”
“Well, then… .”
In fact, it was thanks to Greg that I had already earned 40 gold.
20 minutes passed before I woke him up from his fainting and had him sit down.
Because of this, Lois felt very disappointed inside.
‘Hit it a little harder.’
The twins managed to keep the ej*cu!ation in their hands, so they woke up after 20 minutes, but if they had decided to hit him, he would have been unconscious for several days.
Or it’s not at the level of fainting.
Lois glanced at her watch.
“Another minute has passed. Hehehe.”
Have you ever been this happy about the passage of time?
Just by sitting still, money started flowing in by itself.
At this point, it was Page that became urgent.
“Confucius, that… … .”
Just as Paige was about to open her mouth.
“How… … .”
A voice suddenly cut in.
Greg’s soul that ran away from home has returned and he seems to have come to his senses a little.
But even so, the blurry eyes still remained.
He muttered as if possessed.
“how… “How did you do it?”
“what?”
“What did I do that made me… … .”
Lois responded angrily to the nuance of not knowing why she fainted.
“What to do? “It’s just that my stomach is weak.”
“It’s weak… … ? I? “This Greg Bandt?”
That was something I had never thought about before.
Especially after reaching tier 2.
While serving as the leader of the French Kingdom’s security guard.
Furthermore, while working as a mercenary on the Autumn Continent, there were only a handful of people who crossed swords with him properly.
But now, the little boy in front of me was telling me that I was weak.
Normally, I would have dismissed it as nonsense.
‘… ‘I can’t deny it.’
In fact, he was defeated by children who looked to be about ten years old and whom he wanted to make as disciples.
Either you let your guard down or you didn’t do your best.
If you lost, you lost.
“her… … .”
Greg, who felt the futility of life due to the great psychological shock, lost his mind again.
Meanwhile, Paige, who was anxiously standing next to her, urgently intervened.
As time passes, a large sum of 2 gold is withdrawn every minute.
I couldn’t waste my time with such trivial stories.
“I have a favor to ask you. “There’s something I need to tell you before that.”
“Do whatever you want, because you’re buying my time with money anyway.”
Paige sighed deeply as she looked at Lois leisurely.
She continued her story.
“My full name is Paige Quan France. “I am the only heir to the throne of the Kingdom of France.”
Lois looked slightly surprised at Paige’s words.
‘The only heir to the throne?’
Since the princess of a country was out and about, it was thought that she was far from the right to succeed to the throne.
Even when the King of France thanked Fabro for saving his only daughter, I understood it as ‘I have only one daughter.’ … .
‘Did you really mean my only daughter?!’
They say she is the only blood descendant in this country.
Lois, trying to hide her surprise, listened to Paige’s story.
“I left the Kingdom of France 20 years ago. No, it should be said that he was kicked out… … .”
With that, Page’s detailed story began.

“25 years ago, a person with amazing talent appeared in the Kingdom of France, whose national power was declining day by day.”
A genius among geniuses who distinguished himself at the age of only 17.
Many nobles, merchants, and wealthy people sought to recruit him, but this young genius entrusted his future to the King of France.
“His Majesty had him by his side and loved him. “Because he was convinced that he was a talented person who would revive the Kingdom of France.”
As if repaying the king’s trust, the young genius used his abilities to assist the king and was once again recognized for his genius.
Even those who did not like the young genius at first began to accept him as time passed.
The young genius, who gradually expanded his influence, rose to the position of prime minister with the full support of the king.
He was the current Revans.
“It was truly an unprecedented appointment.”
Revans is twenty.
There was bound to be a strong backlash from the nobles as they appointed a mere 20-year-old who was only a commoner to the position of Prime Minister.
However, the king, who believed in Revans’ abilities, persevered and carried out this.
“Your Majesty believed it. He would definitely do his best to help France in difficult times… … . “He showed strong faith.”
After Revans took over the management of the country, the lives of the people who had always suffered from poverty began to become prosperous.
Because of the situation, the people came to praise Revans.
“His Majesty was pleased with the clear results he could see, saying that your choice was not wrong. After that, you trusted Revans even more. but… That belief actually became poisonous. Your Majesty didn’t know. “His greed is as great as his talent.”
Revans had big goals and ambitions.
“As time goes by… People began to trust and rely on Revans more than His Majesty. Royal palace officials, nobles… And even the public supported him.”
Revans is slowly swallowing up the kingdom with political acumen that is completely unbecoming of his young age.
Lois, who was listening to the story, asked.
“You just watched that?”
“Revance, he took advantage of your trust. Very cleverly… He convinced His Majesty that everything he was doing was to save the country. And your Highness… “He believed it.”
Trust can be a great strength, but it can also be a fatal poison.
A poison that eats the name of trust and slowly spreads from within.
By the time we realized the identity of the poison, everything would have been too late.
Lois clicked her tongue.
“Tsk, that was a stupid king.”
Even as she watched Lois openly criticizing her father, Paige could only smile bitterly.
Because what he said was true.
“that’s right. I tell you… “He was a stupid king.”
Based on the king’s trust, the prime minister quickly took control of the country’s economy, law, and military.
“It was only two years. “The time it took for Revans to completely take control of the Kingdom of France.”
Afterwards, Revans immediately eliminated the pro-King nobles and made the king who had appointed him into a scarecrow.
“It was only then that he realized that something he was conveying was wrong… “It was already over.”
Although Revans’ title was prime minister, his power exceeded that of the king.
He is twenty-two years old.
He rose from being a commoner to becoming the leader of all people.
but… … .
“I got everything from France, but there was one thing that even he couldn’t get.”
Lois, who had been quietly listening to this, opened her mouth.
“righteousness.”
“… that’s right.”
Paige nodded.
It swallowed up the kingdom, but it was the only thing it didn’t have.
That was legitimacy, and in this world legitimacy is bloodline.
If Revans, a commoner, overthrows the king and becomes the king of France, even the nobles who were previously friendly to him will turn against him.
Based on the precedent of a commoner prime minister becoming king, they too would be able to aim for the throne.
“Because he completely swallowed up the kingdom, but… “I let him be the scarecrow king.”
The Scarecrow King was a shield for the Prime Minister to block other nobles.
“When I turned 19. Revans proposed to His Highness that he marry me.”
“It’s an obvious move.”
“… Yes.”
Page complained.
The only heir to the throne.
If we can get her, legitimacy is secured.
And there was no way the king was unaware of this obvious trick.
Also, he was regretting his choice and there was no way he would just sit there and watch.
“Your Majesty was a foolish king, but as a father… “He was a kind person.”
He ruined everything because of his mistake, but he couldn’t bear to see his only daughter ruined.
So he decided to make the page escape from the palace.
“Commander Greg, who was the head of the guard at the time, took me out of the palace.”
After safely escaping from the palace, Greg and Paige left the summer continent and headed to the fall continent.
“Afterwards, Commander Greg raised military funds through mercenary activities, and traveled back and forth between the Summer and Autumn Continents to rally those who opposed the Prime Minister within the Kingdom of France and create the Leon Revolutionary Army.”
Lois looked at Greg, who was still sitting in a daze.
‘That old man?’
If you look at what he’s doing, you might think it’s not surprising, but you can’t ignore Greg’s influence in the Leon Revolutionary Army.
“With the help of the Leon Revolutionary Army, your Majesty has endured for 20 years, but the problem has been… “The prime minister had something else planned.”
“Something else?”
“If your status as a commoner becomes an obstacle to becoming king… “I decided to change the world.”
“how?”
“He wants to create a republic.”
A form of state in which the country is governed by the opinions of the citizens without a monarch.
Lois, hearing this, had doubts.
“If that happens, nothing good will happen to the prime minister, right?”
Are you now going to share the power you worked so hard to build up?
It was nonsense.
Paige nodded, understanding what Lois said.
“Of course, it is not a typical republican system. He dreams of a republic under the dictatorship of himself and his family. For this purpose, we have been laying the foundation for the past 20 years, and now… “The plan is in its final stages.”
“If that happens, what will happen to the current king…?” no way?!”
Only then was Lois able to understand what was said on the airship.
‘These are warriors of the French royal family!’
‘What they’re after is the royal palace! I’m planning to drop an airship at the palace like this!’
The biggest obstacle to establishing a new system was the old system.
The symbol of the old system was the king.
And the one who benefits the most from the king’s death.
“This raid on an airship… “It’s something the Prime Minister planned.”
By killing the king using a suicide commando disguised as the Leon Revolutionary Army, he probably planned it so that the Leon Revolutionary Army would take all the blame.
Paige, whose face darkened, nodded.
“maybe… No, I’m sure.”
Page was convinced that this raid on the airship was the Prime Minister’s doing.
Lois clicked her tongue inwardly.
‘Wow, the Prime Minister is also a great guy. You mean he appeared with such a shameless face in front of the king who tried to kill him with his own hands?
The Prime Minister appeared with a look of great concern for the King.
It gave me goosebumps to think that it was all an act.
That’s how the page’s story ended.
Lois asked, stroking the twins who were sleeping on her lap.
“So what is your request? Well, I can roughly guess what the request is… … .”
“help.”
I thought it would be true, but it turned out to be the same.
Lois sighed.
“We… Chancellor, no, I want to take this country back from Revans Einfault.”
“I’m sorry, but we’re not that free…” what?”
Lois, who was about to refuse Paige’s request, paused for a moment.
He asked, blinking.
“What did you say just now?”
“yes?”
“… “What is Revans’ last name?”
“It’s Einfault… … .”
“… … ?!”
Lois’ eyes sparkled.
