Episode 308. Qualifications (2)
“Seventeen lords and family heads, including the Marquis of Varens, have sent their intention to support Prince Ruinel.”
“Where did you not send it?”
“There are a total of six places, including Duke Quizel’s… … .”
Although he had already gained the support of a majority within the empire, Ruinel’s face was not very bright.
In fact, his maternal family, the Quizel family, has not yet sent a reply.
He did not know that Kundel Küsel, former president of the Royal Academy, was clearly at the center of this.
“It’s like an old lion with only one day left to die, gathering animals.”
“It means that the old lion is still much more trustworthy. Much more than my brother… … .”
Violette, who was sitting across from the table, mocked Ruinel to the fullest.
Ruinel seemed to frown, but then smiled leisurely.
“There’s not much time left to be so proud, Violet.”
This is neither Ruinel’s room nor Violette’s room, but Arin’s room.
Ruinel, who occupied the imperial castle, took Violette, who was guarding the imperial family, and imprisoned her here.
“It was exactly 7 years ago. You joined hands with Eshel and stabbed me in the back. “Thanks to you guys, I got to experience the bottom of an abyss that I didn’t want to go through.”
Ruinel could not forget that humiliating moment even for a second.
“But I wasn’t frustrated. Just like you said, I overcame all the fear and despair of the abyss! I’ve been waiting so long! “This is the day when I will regain my original position!”
Violette looked at Ruinel, who seemed to have lost her mind and was making a lot of noise, with pitiful eyes.
“Look! Eshel, Boris, and those who betrayed me have all fallen, but I am still alive! Who can stop me now! “I am the last one left and I am the winner!”
“If anyone hears it, they will think that you have accomplished everything, right?”
In the end, Violet, who couldn’t hear, asked with a sneer.
“From what I heard, the main force behind this rebellion is not your brother, but the Marquis of Varens. Isn’t your brother just a symbolic figure?”
“shut up!”
-bang!
Ruinel, unable to control his emotions, hit the table with his fist.
“This is not a rebellion! “It is a righteous return to find my original place!”
“Since when did the meaning of justice become corrupted?”
“Treatment with the affection of brother and sister ends here! Go out to the streets of Hwangseong right now and declare that you support me! “Recognize that I am the only heir to the throne!”
“I think I’ve told you this several times already. “If you’re going to do something like that, just kill me.”
Violette did not give in despite strong threats threatening her life.
Instead, when he calmly told him to kill him, Ruinel’s face became even more distorted.
“why? Can’t you kill me? Are you afraid that if you kill me, you’ll lose the people’s support? “Did you know that if you threatened me to do something like this, I would say ‘Yes, I will, brother’ and follow you?”
Ruinel couldn’t answer, so he left it at that.
“You look worse than you were seven years ago, brother.”
“… … !”
“Arin will laugh at me too.”
“Violette!!!”
Ruinel suddenly lost his temper and raised his fist towards her.
The attendants around him barely managed to stop him.
“Lu, Prince Ruinel?”
In the midst of the confusion, a driver who had been waiting outside came inside.
“what?!”
Ruinel sighed and turned his head.
“A guest has arrived… … .”
“customer? who?”
“Well, that…” “These are guests from other countries.”
Not only Ruinel but also Violette reacted curiously to the mention of a foreign country.
“He is the prince of the Kingdom of Spania and the representative of the Magic Society of the Kingdom of Garam.”
* * *
A reception room in the imperial palace.
“Haaam… … .”
Set must have been very bored just sitting still, so he yawned a lot.
“It seems like a lot of time has passed, doesn’t it? “This country makes guests wait a long time.”
“It’s only natural since it came unexpectedly and without notice. I think he’s probably worried about losing his hair. “For now, we have no way of knowing what purpose we came here for.”
-Squeak
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting so long.”
Soon the door to the reception room opened and Ruinel came in with a smile on her face.
“This is Ruinel Sebellus, the prince of the Usif Empire. Couldn’t you have told me in advance that you were coming? “As a prince, I feel ashamed to have no choice but to serve distinguished guests from other countries like this.”
“no. It’s our fault for coming so suddenly. “Because I wasn’t given any time to prepare.”
Lunav’s words contained an unknown thorn.
Conscious of this, Ruinel’s eyebrows narrowed slightly, but he did not show it and maintained his expression.
Set Shahar Khan, the first prince of the Kingdom of Spania, and Lunav Rainreaver, the granddaughter of the head of the Magic Society of the Garam Kingdom.
Since both of them held very important positions in their respective countries, Ruinel had to treat them with the utmost courtesy.
“ah! For your information, I don’t need to see it. “Anyway, everything we have to say will be said by the junior next to us, no, Miss Runav.”
Set yawned again, saying he had nothing to say.
As a result, Ruinel’s eyes naturally met Lunav’s.
“I heard you robbed an empty house?”
She greatly stimulated the prince from the beginning.

“You are talking too much. It was just a fair process to find my original place. Doesn’t Miss Lunav know everything? “How did I get kicked out?”
Runav held out two letters from her bosom to him without answering.
In the center of the letter were stamps symbolizing each of the two kingdoms.
“What is this?”
“Please confirm it.”
Ruinel checked the letter, trying hard to suppress his anxiety.
“… … !”
However, as soon as he read the contents, his eyes and hands shook violently.
Lunav continued speaking without hesitation.
“The Kingdom of Garam and the Kingdom of Spania defined 1st Prince Ruinel’s actions as a rebellion and decided not to recognize him.”
A declaration of the two kingdoms’ stance that they will not recognize the 1st prince as the representative of the Usif Empire.
This was completely unexpected for Ruinel.
“Does not acknowledging me mean that from now on the two kingdoms will be at odds with our empire?”
“I’m not saying I’m going to pretend to be with the empire. It’s just that I won’t acknowledge you. We will continue to maintain friendly relations with the Empire. “I hope you understand that clearly.”
In other words, as long as the 1st prince stepped down, there would be no problem.
Ruinel, who could not accept this, immediately began to laugh out loud.
“Seven years ago, no one even responded to requests for help, but now it’s the complete opposite. “Is it because Princess Arin, not me, appealed for help?”
“Don’t misunderstand, prince. “Princess Arin didn’t want any help from us.”
The answer came from Set, who was sitting with his arms crossed.
Ruinel desperately suppressed his rising anger.
“As you both know, the Empire is in turmoil right now. During the seven years that I was in power, unqualified people insulted and destroyed the imperial family! This isn’t just about our empire! It can also affect the Kingdom of Garam and the Kingdom of Spania! “Why don’t you know that?”
“I know full well. That’s why I came forward like this. We believe that the only one who can resolve the confusion is Princess Arin.”
“Arin is not qualified!!”
Ruinel was so excited that he got up from his seat, but the man and woman didn’t care.
“This position has been mine from the beginning! “Those damn things were usurping it for a while!”
“well? Because that’s none of my business. leaflet… … .”
Runab, who continued speaking calmly, suddenly filled with venom in her eyes.
“I don’t want to see the shameless person who tried to take advantage of me become the emperor.”
“W-what are you saying?”
“Seven years ago, Imperial Banquet.”
Ruinel’s expression froze.
“Did you really think we didn’t know that they tried to use the Day Stone to blame the disaster that occurred on our society?”
“like? “What does this mean?”
Set put his lips together and showed an interesting reaction.
“Well, there seems to be some misunderstanding, but the events of that day had nothing to do with me… … .”
Ruinel pulled out, saying he didn’t know, but it didn’t seem like that would change Lunav’s mind.
“Uh, prince?”
At that time, a servant who heard the news from outside cautiously approached me and whispered in my ear.
At first glance, he looked very embarrassed.
“what?”
“Now on Hwangseong Street… … “They say he appeared.”
“what? “Who showed up?”
“Princess Arin… … .”
Ruinel’s face crumpled again.
* * *
The center of Sebelinas, the capital of the Usif Empire.
The wide street was full of people, but they were all just on the outskirts, and no one walked around the center of the street.
Instead, regardless of gender, age, or status, everyone was looking in the same direction with the same face.
“I-I’m seeing it right now, right?”
“You really came alone? “Without any escort troops?”
“Is she really Princess Arin?”
A woman confidently walks down the silver path leading to the imperial palace.
It was Princess Arin.
There was no sign of any disturbance in his determined steps.
Some people who watched the scene were so overcome by her momentum that they felt as if they were watching the procession of God.
“Ah, Princess Arin?”
This was the same for knights.
Although he was ordered by the prince to capture the princess alive as soon as he found her, no one stepped forward to stop Arin.
For some reason, I felt like I was committing a big sin if I blocked her path.
It was truly a head-on breakthrough.
It seems like we are moving smoothly towards the imperial palace without any interruption or interference, but
“Stop, Arin.”
Ruinel, who could not stand to see this, appeared, leading the knights.
The knights immediately surrounded Arin to prevent her from escaping.
Nevertheless, Arin did not blink an eye.
He just glared at Ruinel in front of him with a cold gaze.
Ruinel wanted to run to her right away and grab her hair, but there were still many eyes around her.
For now, I hid my true feelings with a mask of a smile and then slowly approached Arin.
“Welcome, Arin. “You had a hard time coming.”
“… … .”
“Let’s not stay like this, let’s go inside. “There will be so much to talk about.”
Ruinel even held out his hand, asking us to go together.
However, Arin remained silent and did not open her mouth.
In response, Ruinel gently stuck his head out and whispered softly into Arin’s ear.
“Don’t hold on to the same thing. “When it comes to treating people humanely, follow their lead.”
“… … .”
“If you think that there are so many eyes watching you right now, it’s a big mistake… … .”
-Whoosh!
Ruinel, who continued speaking in a bloody voice, was momentarily out of breath.
Arin grabbed him by the collar.
“Who are you giving orders to now? Prince Ruinel!”
