Episode 251

Just before entering the main barracks.
Elric made a suggestion to Prince Cromhel.
“How is business these days?”
At those words, Prince Cromhel burst out laughing.
Sale.
This was because it was the first time I had seen the battle for succession to the throne, which others said was sacred, expressed in that way.
So the SS all got angry and went out.
It was already considered disrespectful for Elric to speak informally to the prince.
Of course, Prince Cromhel raised his hand to stop him from doing so.
Actually, if you think about it, what Elric said wasn’t wrong.
There was no doubt that the princes and princesses aiming to become the next emperor offered their talents and charms as prizes, and the nobles were betting on the prize that promised them the greatest profit.
No, I didn’t know if it would be okay to call it gambling.
If the bet is successful, you will receive a large return, but if it fails, the political impact will be quite significant.
“Same as usual. “It’s neither good nor bad.”
Prince Cromhel shook his head calmly.
“It must be the bad one.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Because the crown prince holds the initiative.”
Prince Cromhell did not respond for a moment but stared straight into Elric’s eyes.
But Elric countered by asking what was wrong.
Soon he had to smile bitterly and sigh lightly.
“… It’s a ghost. That’s right. The perception of Brother Zereitz is so impressive among the nobles. “Whether it’s a good way or a bad way.”
In the end, this war has no choice but to end in victory for the empire. If so, it is inevitable that Crown Prince Zereitz, who is leading the political situation, will ultimately be in the spotlight.
No matter how much the other princes and princesses, including Prince Cromhel, made great contributions on the battlefield, they ended up acting according to the ‘orders’ of Prince Zereitz.
In the end, unless there is a huge disqualification, all of this will end up being Crown Prince Zereitz’s fault.
After that… He will even make the throne his own.
As always, Prince Cromhell still wasn’t very interested in becoming the next emperor.
However, I only hoped that the person who would sit there was not Prince Zereitz.
If the throne falls into his hands, he will not be able to avoid the purge that will occur in the future.
“There was some loss of troops on our side not long ago.”
At the same time, Prince Cromhell added a playful remark.
This refers to the death of Count Calliger, who held a large stake in the 4th Prince’s faction.
In other words, do you have any intention of filling that position?
It would be a great help if Elric, who is at the peak of his momentum, holds my hand.
However, Elric still did not give a specific answer and only smiled knowingly.
“I see. “It must be difficult.”
“hmm?”
“… ?”
“That’s why you came here. “There is something.”
“what?”
“Give it to me.”
“So, what?”
“Are you making that smile again?”
“… ?”
“A sinister laugh.”
Elric quickly pressed the corners of his mouth with both hands.
“this. “Tina?”
“How could you not know? When you smile like that, something funny is bound to happen. “What do you have to give me?”
Prince Cromhel crossed his arms and snorted lightly.
Hehehe. Elric eventually smiled and handed the folder to Prince Cromhell. There was also a crystal ball placed on top of it.
“What is this?”
“treasure.”
“… ?”
“What’s left of the power you said you lost. “It might be quite interesting to watch, right?”
“… !”
It means something left behind by Count Calliger.
Prince Cromhel was startled and tried to reach for the folder, but Elric pulled the folder back.
“no way. Why are you like this? Sir, where are you doing business for a day or two? “If you want to check for good products, you have to do it early.”
“How can I pay for the item without even checking it?”
“Don’t you know that the more high-end a product is, the more lucky you are at drawing it? “Anyway, what can I give you?”
“hmm… . good. “If it’s as good of a quality as I think it is.”
Prince Cromhell came to a conclusion after thinking for a moment.
“I have a younger brother who is just about to get married. Let’s find a place to stand with that child. What is it like? “You become a blood pact with me.”
* * *
‘Although I was scolded that it was a useless transaction.’
Prince Cromhell felt refreshed for the first time in a long time as he looked at Prince Zereitz, whose face was so tense.

‘Still, since I received this, it seems like I have a surplus business.’
Prince Cromhell expressed his apologies to his sister, who had been kicked by Elric without her knowledge, and then looked at Prince Zereitz.
The soldiers he brought with him had already surrounded Prince Zereitz.
Cha cha cha chang!
Naturally, the impression of Prince Zereitz’s people could not help but become serious.
Agents and knights of the four inspection bureaus, as well as nobles nearby, all drew their swords.
Some even had an aura floating on the blade.
The more this happened, the more the soldiers on Prince Cromhell’s side also pointed their spears with tense faces.
“Your Majesty the 4th Prince! What kind of behavior is this? “No matter how much it’s just a prank between brothers, this is going too far!”
Although Crown Prince Zereitz frowned, he never showed any anger.
It seems like all of this must be handled by his subordinates.
Prince Cromhel kept feeling the desire to bring down his arrogant brother.
‘It seems like everyone is intoxicated with power.’
Prince Cromhell took out the folder and crystal ball that Elric had given him.
Even then, Prince Zereitz’s expression remained the same.
“Do you know what this is, brother?”
“… “What do you want to say?”
“Do you remember the instructions you gave me separately when you assigned someone to the Star Service a year ago?”
For a moment, Prince Zereitz’s face changed strangely, but he shook his head.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about… !”
“At the time, you said you gave all instructions verbally and left no evidence, but here.”
Prince Cromhell slightly held up the crystal ball.
“I didn’t know that he converted the voices into data using magic, collected them, and backed them up separately.”
“… !”
“And this folder contains the instructions the Star Servant received while trapped in the border area. “It was organized by date, day of the week, and time, and the contents and circumstances of money coming and going were also detailed.”
Prince Zereitz hit the flagship.
‘Caliger! ‘You damned bastard!’
He met Calliger Beckzak in person only once.
Even that was only a brief moment, less than 5 minutes. Following the guidance of the four inspection bureaus, we planned everything so that no physical evidence was left behind… It seemed like some kind of device had been installed there.
In addition, if there were circumstances and evidence of separate letters being exchanged, that could have become a problem.
It seemed that Count Calliger had been gathering evidence one by one with the intention of using it later if a crisis arose.
In the end, the situation that the crown prince had worried about happened.
“When the Daebonyeong was repeatedly defeated due to unreasonable advances, you couldn’t even cheer on the Star Army, who was the only one to win and made a contribution to enable the Daebonyeong to set the stage for a comeback, so you drove them to their deaths… “Can you really consider yourself worthy of succeeding to the throne?”
Prince Cromhell frowned and gestured with his chin.
“What are you all doing? Hurry up and stop arresting the criminals! There may be people involved, so arrest everyone around you. “If there are those who resist, you can shoot them dead.”
Before we knew it, the prayer uttered by Prince Cromhel had completely captured the crowd.
‘Lion, the energy of the lion… !’
‘When did the 4th prince grow this much… ?’
The knights on the prince’s side turned pale due to Prince Kromhel’s speculation.
Lion Flag is an art that can only be performed by the Eight Lions who have received recognition from the Golden Lion.
However, it was known that although Prince Cromhel was classified as a black lion, it was only for consideration of the possibility and that he had not yet reached the 5th chain.
But now, it has been revealed that he possesses no less force than other lions… !
Cuckoo cuckoo!
Only then did other soldiers, officers, and nobles in the military camp hear the commotion and flock here one by one.
Prince Zereitz shouted, his face turning red.
“I have no idea! Wasn’t Count Calliger from your side to begin with? How can you be sure that this isn’t a conspiracy on your part… !”
“That’s strange.”
“what!”
“I have never identified the person who created this material as Count Calliger.”
“… !”
“Duke Chanseong told me. Count Calliger and Viscount Twerk joined hands to attack him in the back, but he was unable to find out exactly who the information he obtained after defeating them belonged to.”
Prince Cromhel curled one corner of his lip.
“But brother, I think you knew who left that material?”
Only then did Crown Prince Zereitz realize his mistake.
In my panic, I ended up falling into a trap that seemed like a simple prank!
“That, that, that… !”
“I told you to come and serve me!”
Prince Cromhell shouted with a lot of magic in his voice.
Then the earth trembled loudly, as if there had been thunder.
Even though Prince Zereitz strongly resisted, telling him not to approach, the soldiers just showed courtesy and grabbed him by both arms and dragged him to another place.
“Let go! Let go! What are you doing! Isn’t the 4th prince trying to start a military rebellion? Don’t stop it right away… !”
Several nobles tried to move urgently at the shout of Prince Zereitz.
Cha cha cha chang!
“You would have told me?”
I don’t know when they came forward, but other soldiers had already taken control of most of the military camp.
Similar scenes occurred everywhere.
In addition to the Star Wars, the knights of the Byle family controlled the area where the knights were gathered, and the Black Skull controlled the area where the mercenaries gathered.
And even the wizards of the Magic Tower, who were the only ones capable of stopping them, were all receiving Guy’s orders separately and acting as benefactors!
Right now at this moment.
The only person who could stand here was Prince Cromhel.
The military camp was filled with the murderous spirit of the Black Lion, which had been kept hidden due to Prince Zereitz’s notice.
The lion is the king of beasts.
At this moment, the person who conquered the military camp was none other than Prince Kromhel.
“The current situation is war, so a detailed investigation regarding this issue will be conducted after all wars are over.”
Prince Zereitz struggled the whole time he was dragged away.
‘This can’t be… It can’t end like this… !’
All investigations will be postponed until after the war.
That meant that his person would be detained for the time being, and all his achievements and reputation would be discredited.
In that case… The people of the world will only remember Elric Mervinger, who led the war to victory, and Prince Cromhel, who brought it to an end.
The name of Crown Prince Zereitz will be completely erased.
In the first place, what Prince Cromhell needed was not real evidence, but just suspicion to tie up Prince Zereitz.
‘Somehow, somehow, I have to find a way…’ !’
After this, it is clear that things will be handled according to the tastes of Prince Kromhel, who holds all the real power.
The fate of Prince Zereitz at that time was… It was as obvious as seeing fire.
Because there were things he did to Prince Cromhel during that time.
Then, Prince Zereitz remembered it too late.
-I am on the Crown Prince’s side. Think about the position of empress I mentioned. Hehe!
Lapis.
The Demon King of Grigori.
The scroll she gave me… It was in here.
Wizard who swallowed talent
