115. Objective Evaluation
“I am a bit surprised.”
The day after the royal battle ended.
Iris, who was heading to the palace with me, quietly opens her mouth.
When she asks what he meant, Iris smiles.
“She chose me as the hero who goes to meet her princess.”
Ah, I was referring to that part.
From her point of view, Iris, it would seem that she chose herself over all her seniors.
But from my point of view, Iris was a half-unavoidable option.
Once Garam is taken away, there will be friction with Xenia right away.
She said why is she taking Garam without herself, that this is not fair.
In addition, Xenia was eliminated due to the same problem.

Daisy was excluded because it would be fortunate if she didn’t have an accident.
Considering the case of the princess, there could be a problem if another person besides me is a man.
So Gerard was unfortunately eliminated, and Iris doesn’t fit this kind of work at all.
The best is Lily, but she has to take care of others.
If there is a large number of deaths, there will be problems.
It was Lily’s idea that she would rather be at the aid station than at the palace.
“Lastly, Esther will never go to a place like that. Then who am I left with?”
“… Something sad It feels like they’re taking me because they don’t need me, but just because there’s an extra person.”
“That’s the correct answer, stupid disciple.”
“Ouch! Too please! Even so, I really worked hard this time, shedding blood and sweat!”
“Who doesn’t know that she didn’t shed blood and sweat? Everyone suffered so much.”
At those words, Iris sighed! She did and in the end she was sunk.
She then goes into the corner of the wagon, muttering something.
Everyone can see, ‘I’m mad. Don’t touch me.’
If you’re caught saying you’re a regressor but you’re doing that, then that light figure isn’t acting.
I wonder if some of them were Iris’s true form.
“Iris.”
“Hey!”
“What do you think?”
“What!”
“This is the current situation. If everything had gone bad, what would have happened.”
Iris is looking directly at me.
Then he erases all the mischievous look from her face.
“What if we assume the situation?”
“You call that a word? Of course, there is no comparison. If the capital had been taken over, their size would have increased unbelievably. Crucially, the hostility will become much stronger, making you your worst enemy.”
“The power loss on our side must have been twice as bad as now. Yes?”
At my words, Iris nodded her head slightly.
Just coolly comparing the situation before the regression with the present.
She said that she would like to speak comfortably, but there is a penalty for that.
If not, it would be better to endure a little inconvenience and trouble.
“… As a result, I think it can be seen as a half-success.”
“Half. It was a bit high though.”
“You said you caught one enemy. There is nothing better than that.”
“The problem is that a new animosity has emerged, and he has about half of our forces.”
“Yes. That’s why I said it was only half successful.”
Both Gerard and Daisy failed to catch the mine.

Daisy said that she almost pushed her, and Gerard had a problem with her personality.
In any case, the enemy who knew their strength was saved and sent.
You must have seen everything, even the battle between Iris and Iris.
That information is very useful, and the fragments of the Demon God will use it forever.
Fortunately, my master’s bluffing was not caught.
If I had missed the fragments of the demon from there, the nightmare would have started.
While ignoring me or my master, or on the contrary, aiming relentlessly.
It is clear that he tried to attack the warriors by widening the gap.
“It was a godsend that the disciples had been working hard and their hostility was weak. The problem is, unless they’re fools, they won’t move recklessly from now on. That’s more of a problem.”
“Yes. If you hide like rats and keep bothering them, you will be tired.”
“If you relax even a little and get counterattacked properly, it will be a big deal.”
“I think it’s important to quickly stabilize the castle, Master. All the people and rumors of the kingdom pass through here. As much as that, the key will be how quickly this place is stabilized and organized.”
I nodded at Iris’ words.
I know the subject very well, having never been to the capital city.
If you look at it like this, it’s to the extent that it’s a good thing that you haven’t been caught as a regressor.
Of course, when it’s necessary, I’m good at acting as Iris of this time period.
Such worries are probably groundless.
“Maybe it will be a little more leisurely for a while after that, Master?”
“… What is the basis?”
“Even the enemies will need a recovery period. I summoned a large amount of monsters in this battle. And so many demon worshipers rushed. As a result, the capital occupation was a failure and was met with total destruction.”
“But you could be renting soon, right? We don’t know the situation in the outskirts yet.”
“I think so. It’s just ‘my opinion’.”
If Iris went that far, it seems that the royal attack was fatal to that extent.
To say the least, just looking at the future that Iris showed me at that time was terrifying.
Three warriors were injured, a massive massacre in the capital, and even the collapse of the kingdom.
The parts that were just passing by in the game were solved in great detail.
As fatal as that, and as decisive as that.
On the contrary, it failed, so now it’s their turn to shoulder that risk.
As the enemies risked life and death, the recoil must be considerable.
Thanks to this, it can be seen that some time has been saved.
It will make up for the damaged parts and gain a chance to grow a little more.
“… Thinking like that makes me even more worried.”
“A princess?”
“Rather than calling her a princess, it’s because of the next king. Because the moment the strange guy sits down, all the hard work here will be useless.”
“What did you say about the princess?”
“The king said that he was a well-prepared king. It could just be a compliment to my son.”
“Or it could be real.”
If that’s true, wouldn’t it be even more crazy for Carlos II?
At most, my daughter came close to being a well-prepared prospective king.
Some kind of madman, and my son, completely destroyed the prospective king.
As a father with a daughter and a son, and as the king of a country, everything is the worst.
Kiriric-.
The carriage seems to stop, and soon the knights open the door.
It seems that they have all arrived in front of the palace, but unlike before, there is no inspection.
It is Iris and I who specially entered the palace by order of King Carlos II.
It was thanks to the order of the king, who exists at the top, the country itself.
“This way.”
Following the ladies-in-waiting, they moved to the innermost and deepest part of the palace.
Originally, the royal palace is a secretly closed place, but I keep going inside.
I wonder if they are hiding a strange plot.
Well, it was to the point where I even had a little stupid suspicion.
“Please stop for a moment.”
The maid who was following us from behind approaches us.
And then he opened his mouth in a cautious and very sad tone.
“First of all, I have spoken to Her Highness. That guests will come. In the name of the king.”
“Did I tell you about His Majesty’s condition?”
“I told you that too. Fortunately, he heard the news and barely allowed it. But you won’t be there for long. He is very afraid of meeting people.”
“Still, if you accepted the meeting, you don’t seem to be in a very devastated state.”
“You are barely getting better. No, to be honest, I don’t know if it’s really true that I’ve improved. Maybe you’re pretending to be okay.”
After the lady-in-waiting said that, she stood in front of a certain room.
Then she knocks a few times and carefully turns her doorknob.
“Iris. You go in first.”
“Me?”
“Yes. And think of the conversation as you lead it. I’ve already told you what to say and how to do it, so that’s all you need to do.”
The conversation is with Iris, and I look after the princess’s condition.
First of all, the princess can be seen as a kind of NPC, so the user’s privileges can work for her.
If you look closely at her condition like that, you might be able to see the road.
From noble mtl dot com
Do you need more alone time or a helping hand?
Should I take him out now, or should I never come in again?
Kiki-.
Is it because the sunlight is not shining?
Even the sound of opening the door sounds dreary.
After following Iris into the room, what I felt was, as expected, desolate.
It’s a very large space, but there’s nothing there even though it’s where the princess lives.
Not to mention the luxurious decorations, even the basic components of the room are invisible.
The marble floor seems cold to the touch.
Books that show no signs of being touched.
A desk with nothing on it and a chair with no sign of sitting on it.
The only thing that looks normal is the bed.
Considering that it is still a sunny afternoon outside, it is too dark.
I glanced around and saw that all the windows that let in the sunlight were blocked.
It’s gloomy, eerie, overflowing with all sorts of negative things.
“I… Her Highness the Princess?”
“… Here.”
At the place where the voice was heard, there was a woman sitting on the bed.
As Iris was about to approach her, the woman hurriedly continued her words.
“Don’t come closer. There, tell me there.”
“But, Her Highness….”
“Iris.”
Shake her head and convey her opinion that the princess should do what she wants.
Iris also nodded and sat her body on the chair next to her.
“You heard the story.”
“… Yes.”
“His Majesty has fallen and the capital is very confused. There is no one who needs to take care of the political situation right now. The only hope is for the princess to leave. Otherwise, this chaos will not be put to rest.”
“… I know.”
“Even if not now, you will have to succeed His Majesty the King.”
“I know that too.”
After that, Iris added to what I told you beforehand.
She started talking about the things she had accumulated from her experience.
Most of them are about the kingdom situation in the future, and the parts that will be problematic.
And the problems with those goddamn demon worshippers.
She honestly assumed that the princess would give a rough answer and then shut her mouth.
She says she has been living here for quite a long time, so she searches for information first.
And it is very difficult to turn back once a hardened thought.
Above all, it is in poor condition, so the effect of that part must be considerable.
“… So, I think like this. And I want to push that way.”
“Is that so? Well, that’s right.”
However, my thoughts changed little by little as I saw the princess having a conversation with Iris.
After a while, why did Carlos II care for the princess so much?
At the same time, I realized how much I hated my son for ruining the princess.
It’s definitely a waste of talent to keep in a small room like this.
A person who, if he were to become the king, would surely run the country fairly well.
Anyway, Carlos II’s praise seemed objective, not subjective.
