89 – Grand Duke Aka – 89
“This is the story after my sister entered the academy. Before she went to the academy, she left for the academy after completely establishing her own power.”
It was the story Priscilla had told in the flying boat.
“By the way, my sister didn’t expect it. The person you trusted more than anyone else will betray you.”
“… … betrayal?”
Ezazel nodded and slowly opened her mouth.
“Kanner and Heinbern. My little brother, who loved you more than anyone else, betrayed you.”
“Little brother?”
“I’m Priscilla’s younger brother. Even though it’s my half-brother.”
Sandalphon answered my doubtful words.
Being a half-brother, I thought it was like the imperial family.
“Isn’t that the usual atmosphere of the imperial family? The royal family fighting over the right of succession. If so, would Priscilla have known that one day her younger brother would betray her?”
“no! Connor really liked her! It’s Connor’s older brother who said he didn’t want to be emperor and that his only wish was to travel with his summoned beasts!”
“… … But did it suddenly change?”
“that’s right. After ‘that man’ came, Conner started to change.”
It is said that shortly after Priscilla entered the academy, a count who managed the territory in the province came to the imperial family.
His name is Allos Hughes.
It is said that he was an aristocrat who stood out in the eyes of the imperial family by demonstrating his outstanding skills in poor territory that had been passed down from his father’s generation.
“Dad highly valued the man’s ability. He was like a man who created an incredible miracle.”
It is said that the emperor appreciated his ability and gave him the position of chief secretary of the royal family.
Receiving the position of chief secretary, he demonstrated outstanding ability, which served as an opportunity to further gain the trust of the emperor.
“And then he started approaching Kannon.”
It is said that Kannon was a good older brother who always played well with Ezazel.
And, as usual, while heading to Kannon’s room to play with him, he saw Allos Hughesgo coming out of Kannon’s room.
“It’s not just that. Every banquet, festival, or event, he started approaching Kannon.”
And gradually, Kanan’s time to play with Ezazel decreased.
Kannon, who always greeted the servants of the imperial palace with a smile, gradually lost his smile and began to look down at them with a cold expression.
“And then, at some point, there started to be nobles who always stayed by Kannon’s side.”
A new force was created, led by Allos Husgo.
The forces supporting the 2nd prince.
“therefore… … . In other words, an aristocrat named Allos Husgo seduced your brother to form a new faction and undermined your sister’s power. Is this what you mean?”
“Exactly!”
“Okay, I understand this far. By the way, what do you mean by asking me to save Raphael? Sandalphon.”
Apparently, Ezazel asked to save Priscilla, and Sandalphon asked to save Raphael.
Does that have anything to do with this?
“… … This must not be divulged to anyone. Not only to Raphael-sama, but also to Priscilla.”
“Let’s do that.”
And Rosé next to me also pretends to zip up her mouth.
“good. Then I will tell you.”
It is said that Sandalphon, Ezazel’s summoner, heard Ezazel’s story and began to investigate on her own.
It was because she, too, had spent a long time with Ezazel and knew what kind of person Kannon was.
And as she continued the investigation until recently, she realized something hard to believe.
“I felt divine power from Kannon, who wasn’t even a summoner.”
The meaning of the word is that I was with someone who dealt with angels.
It was said that only some members of the royal family made contracts with angels in the imperial family, and it was very strange that Kannon, who had never been with Ezazel or Priscilla, felt divine power.
“Maybe other members of the royal family had contact with him.”
“No, could it be that I don’t even know that? It was the first divine power I felt. Neither Raphael-sama nor the angels contracted with the other royal families. so much… … It was a heterogeneous divine power. The divine power is correct, but… … heterogeneous… … Divine power that can only be felt by fallen angels.”
“… … In other words, Allos Husgo seems to be with the fallen angel. Is this what you mean?”
“Exactly.”
In this world, the fallen angel had a different meaning.
An angel assimilated with a devil? You can’t use the word ‘fallen’ to that extent.
Indeed, only when he commits a crime to the extent of endangering the world can he earn the title of ‘fallen’.
And, as far as I know, there are a total of three angels in this world who have the title of ‘fallen’.
And among these, Lucifer’s sin, which is considered to be the greatest, was the case where the title of ‘fall’ was attached because he tried to help the disaster to destroy the world.
In other words, without reaching this scale, angels could not ‘fall’.
And there are three such angels in total.
“Lucifer, Azazel, Samael. One of the three is linked.”
“… … that’s right. That’s why I told it to be a secret from Raphael-sama.”
“For Raphael, fallen angels are like colleagues to be saved. You won’t be able to handle it properly.”
It was Raphael who asked me to save even the corrupted and lost Holy Church.
Also, he was a guy who cared about his comrades more than other angels, and it was clear that he would never make a cold-hearted judgment if the fallen angels were involved.
“If Kannon is aiming for the throne, he has no choice but to compete with Priscilla and Raphael-sama. And the moment will come when the fallen angel and Raphael-sama face each other.”
In other words, it was said that Raphael had been caught in a battle he had no choice but to lose.
“… … It’s ridiculous. Big titans like the fallen angels jumping into the war for the throne.”
If a fallen angel is involved, this situation becomes more serious.
It means that if you are in a situation where you have no choice but to use force, it becomes really dangerous.
Rosé cautiously opened her mouth as she was agonizingly rolling her head here and there.
“Then why don’t we tell the emperor? If that’s the case, support from the imperial family will come in.”
“If that happens, things will explode. Armed conflict with a fallen angel? I’m sure a lot of people will die or get hurt. There are many ways to lose even if you can solve the current situation. It’s a bad idea.”
“okay… … . Then what should I do? You can’t argue.”
“… … for a moment.”
… … A quarrel?
“Passed. Rosé.”
“yes?”
“… … It’s an argument, that’s a good way.”
At my words, all the girls around me look puzzled.
yeah you don’t understand You said you were going to have an argument with the guys with the fallen angels on their backs.
“Ezazel. I need to send some letters to the places I requested.”
“yes?”
“And Sandalphon. You must stop following Kannon and the others starting today. It’s likely that they noticed your presence and pretended not to know.”
“Why do you even do that?”
“The princess’s pet was reverse summoned in the front yard of the imperial family? That alone would change the atmosphere in the imperial family. Rather, it may have been intentionally leaking only necessary information to you, who can’t do anything.”
At my words, Ezazel kicks off the table and stands up.
“That means our movements are already being read!”
“right. You and Sandalphon must have judged that even if you knew their identities, they wouldn’t pose a threat.”
Ezazel expresses her anger with her facial expression at being told that they have been ignored. After all, I was still just a child.
Then, on Ezazel’s head, a hand of thin, pure white rose was placed.
“But, don’t worry too much.”
“… … yes?”
Ezazel is taken aback by the sudden stroking. At this, Rose smiled and said.
“Because we are Priscilla and Raphael-sama’s friends! I will definitely help by any means.”
“… … friend?”
“Yes, we are friends. And, a friend never leaves a friend in danger. Yes? Gregory?”
“Yes, Priscilla must not be broken here.”
Priscilla was the greatest sword to fight against calamity with us.
The force holding her back? Can I leave?
By any means, with all the knowledge I knew, I was going to make Priscilla emperor.
“The fact that you found us so courageously. Thank you very much. Ezazel, the angel Sandalphon.”
After saying that, I got up and went to the door.
Rose, who seemed embarrassed by my sudden departure, retrieved her hand on Ezazel’s head and sprinted behind me.
I said to the two people who were still sitting on the couch staring blankly at me.
“I will take care of the future. Get some rest.”
A prince and a fallen angel trying to usurp the throne, a truly absurd big event.
Why?
I was starting to get very excited.
“… … I will be a bit busy in the future. Rosé.”
“hehehe, I’m always ready!”
Because I was a deceased person who enjoyed difficult battles more than anything else.
