Episode 309. Qualifications (3)
A voice so loud that everyone within a 50m radius could hear it.
Some people were unable to close their mouths and their jaw bones were on the verge of turning.
“Ah, Arin! “How dare you?”
Am I crazy?
Or did you give up?
How can you stand up and criticize yourself in front of so many people?
For Ruinel, this was a truly unexpected disaster.
However, Arin didn’t care and took out something with the other hand that wasn’t holding her collar.
“Can you see it, everyone?”
Then he raised it high above his head so that people could see it.
“This is an appointment letter certifying that His Majesty the Emperor has appointed me as the general manager of the front-line tour! According to this letter of appointment, I was on a mission to tour the front lines as the former emperor’s representative!”
The murmur that started out small soon began to cover the entire street.
“But, taking advantage of my absence, Prince Ruinel occupied the imperial castle without permission and mobilized knights to send official letters to each city and territory! What does this mean? “This is an outright treasonous plot!”
“Treason! “Who are you talking about treason in front of now?”
Ruinel also responded by grabbing Arin by the collar.
Arin did not give in and continued speaking to the people.
“Who is the master of this empire that you must follow? It’s not me or Prince Ruinel in front of me, it’s His Majesty Emperor Dione! Isn’t it?”
Some people nodded to Arin’s question.
“I am the only representative appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to carry out his duties! Denying me means denying His Majesty the Emperor and this country itself!”
“Do not be deceived, people!”
Ruinel finally shook Arin aside and stepped forward.
“Have you already forgotten how our imperial family was humiliated? Princess Arin joined hands with those vicious criminals and threw the empire into chaos for the past seven years! Does she think that’s it? She has defied the spirit of our Empire, which has worshiped the Light since her founding, and has joined hands with the foul beings of the Black Mist! “If you are not enough, you want to dye us all in darkness!”
“Do you know that the being of that dirty fog saved the empire and the continent!”
“… … ?!”
There was silence on the street for a moment.
“Let me ask you a question! Have you ever suffered any harm from the black fog that you have dismissed as evil and rejected?”
No answer came back.
It was natural.
None of the countless people gathered on this street have ever been harmed by the black fog.
“We have always believed that worshiping and following the light is the only truth! But didn’t you see it too? The owner of the Holy Sword, who claimed to be a savior and wanted to establish order of light, had a very vicious side! “The person who saved us from that true evil is Sian Vert, the heir of the Black Mist!”
Confusion was evident on the people’s faces.
“Woah, is what the princess said true?”
“Honestly, I think it’s true that that man saved the imperial family… … .”
“Which one should I believe?”
It was not easy to destroy the concept of empire that had been established for hundreds of years.
Arin continued her argument without stopping.
“You don’t know. Not long ago, a great danger was almost upon the continent! “The person who stopped the strongest person in the demon world from crossing over to the human world through Eshel Wert’s trick was also Sian Wert!”
“… … ?”
“When Prince Ruinel was busy finding his place in the name of resolving the chaos, he protected the peace of the human world by confronting the Demon King alone! “Is he still an ugly being?”
“Well, that’s a lie! “People, don’t be fooled by baseless rumors!”
Ruinel shouted louder and dismissed Arin’s claim as a lie.
but,
“It’s not a lie.”
Another voice was heard from the direction of the imperial palace, and everyone’s eyes turned.
Not only Ruinel, but also Arin could not help but be embarrassed.
It was Lunav and Set who had been inside the imperial palace and came out at some point.
Murmurs arose again among some of the crowd who recognized the two.
“We came together as special attendants to help Princess Arin on her tour. Everything Princess Arin said is true. Sian Berth saved the human world from the beings of the demon world. “He will use the name of the Garam Society to clearly state that this is not a lie.”
“Me too! “I speak clearly on the honor of the Spanish royal family!”
The two showed off seals symbolizing the academy and the royal family, respectively, and revealed that Princess Arin’s claims were sincere.
Not only the people but also the prince’s knights reacted in confusion.
“hmm. Haven’t we done something for nothing, junior? “Princess Arin asked me not to help you.”
“You’ve already come this far, so why bother going back?”
“Yes, that’s true, but… … .”
Set ate his mouth sheepishly.
“In the first place, what we did now cannot even be called helpful. “I just added a little bit.”
“Well, I guess that’s right. “Even if we didn’t have to step in, it would have worked out on its own.”
-Tap-tap-tap
At that time, heavy footsteps were heard from behind the street.
The knights rushed behind Arin, pushing past the crowd.
All of their pauldrons had the red imperial emblem engraved on them.
In other words, they were knights belonging to the rebels who followed Ruinel.
“I’m tired of watching you anymore! You missed your last chance to be treated well! “Don’t think that I will treat you like a princess from now on, Arin!”
Ruinel’s expression widened at the arrival of reinforcements, and he raised the corners of his mouth.
“Arrest Princess Arin!”
Soon after receiving the instructions, the knights approached Arin holding handcuffs and rope.
-Sigh

However, the knights stopped after only a few steps.
People who had watched the entire situation so far blocked the knights’ path to prevent them from approaching the princess.
Unexpected and unexpected behavior of the people.
“Let’s protect Princess Arin!”
The embarrassed knights stopped their actions.
“What a fool! What are you staring at? “Bring this bitch out right now!”
Ruinel became impatient and gave orders to the guard knights next to him,
“… … .”
The knights just looked at each other and did not move.
“I command you as the princess.”
Then Arin gave them another instruction.
“Arrest Ruinel Sebelus, a traitor to the Empire, right now!”
“This year, until the end… … !”
-chin
The knights immediately grabbed Ruinel’s arms.
Ruinel’s face was so confused that he couldn’t even speak properly and stuttered.
“What are you guys? “What are you doing now?”
“I will follow the princess’ orders!”
The knights ignored Ruinel’s words and handcuffed his hands.
Ruinel resisted fiercely.
“Let go of this! Do we have to wait to see the empire fall? If you follow such a shell princess, the only thing left is destruction! “Find out what the truth is, you foolish bastards!”
It was a miserable final struggle in which he completely lost even his dignity as a prince.
The knights subdued the resisting prince with force and took him to the imperial palace.
There were no troops or attendants, and no physical clashes occurred.
With only an honest heart and firm beliefs, Arin persuaded the people and restored order in the imperial family.
“Long live your Majesty the Emperor! Long live Princess Arin!”
The people generously praised the princess.
In addition, she is the only successor who can lead the empire after the emperor.
It was a moment to proudly prove it in front of everyone.
A man watching the scene from a remote place.
“I don’t think there’s any need to prove anything further with this.”
He smiled comfortably as he looked at the princess reigning in front of the people.
“It seems that the flower that has overcome difficulties and bloomed anew is now left to reveal its beauty. Duke… … .”
The man muttered that and entered the shadowy alley.
Hanging from his waist was a white longsword used by high-ranking knights on the front lines.

“I’m sorry, Arin. “I was unable to protect the imperial castle because I was not good enough.”
“Please don’t say things like that, Violet. “I feel very fortunate that you are safe.”
Arin was very worried that something bad might have happened.
However, Violette was merely confined to solitary confinement, and there were no major problems to worry about.
“Incredible. I had no idea that he would show up bare-chested and without any bodyguards. But you know it’s not over yet, right? “Onii-sama, no, Prince Ruinel is not the source of this rebellion, but is merely a symbolic being.”
“yes. I am fully aware of this. That this rebellion was led by people from the empire who could not accept me and my will… … .”
“What are you going to do now?”
After a moment of contemplation, Arin continued speaking.
“I’d like to open a meeting.”
“A meeting?”
“yes. This situation arose because of their suspicion and distrust toward me, so I will not hold them to any fault. The same goes for Brother Ruinel. Instead, I want to prove to everyone that I am qualified and that my intentions are not wrong.”
“You know it’s reckless, right?”
“So I think it’s worth doing more.”
Violet, who confirmed that she could not break her stubbornness, comforted Arin’s shoulders.
“I will help you until the end.”
“thanks sister.”
The two sisters had a sincere conversation and confirmed each other’s feelings.
-smart
At that time, a servant knocked and opened the door and came inside.
“Princess Arin. “A guest has arrived.”
“I need to make room for you. “I’ll just go now.”
As soon as Violette left the room, the man and woman who had been waiting outside came straight inside.
Lunav and Set.
Arin greeted the two with her arms crossed without saying a word.
As a result, there was an awkwardness in the room.
“You were really cool, Princess Arin! “He was so proud that even I, a prince, fell in love with him when I saw him!”
The set tried to brighten the mood to break the awkwardness, but Arin’s stern face never relaxed.
“I’m sure I said I didn’t need any help, right?”
The two of them couldn’t answer, as if they had become dumb.
Time of ambiguous silence passes,
“under… .”
Arin let out a short sigh as if she had no choice.
“thank you… … .”
“… … ?”
“There’s nothing else I can say other than this.”
Then he welcomed them both with a smile.
“I just did what I had to do, or rather, what I wanted to do.”
Lunav also responded by revealing his honest feelings.
“It wasn’t until I saw it myself that I realized why they said they didn’t need help.”
“I think I got lucky. “To be honest, no matter who sees it, it was reckless.”
“It was reckless. “If that guy, Xian, had seen it, he would have been mad and asked if I was crazy!”
Unlike Set, who was giggling, Arin’s eyes were slightly shaken.
“Xian… … “What happened?”
“I ran away. With Hastia.”
“… … ?”
Arin, unable to understand the meaning, closed her eyes.
“Anyway, the matter here was resolved well. “Now I feel safe and have to go look for my senior again.”
“Oh, please explain so I can understand. “Where did you go with Hastia?”
-smart
While Lunav was trying to explain, there was another knock on the door.
-Suddenly
The door rang and immediately opened.
A stranger wearing a black cloak strode inside.
“haha… … .”
He must have run in a hurry, so he was breathing very heavily.
At the moment when everyone was confused and didn’t know who it was,
“missing child?”
Arin, who recognized her, tilted her head and called out.
“I’m really sorry for coming to you so suddenly. “I came because I have something to tell the princess.”
Her face looked very urgent and anxious, unlike usual.
“Head of the clan, no, Xian’s fate is unknown!”
