Countess of Abba.
Carl was also a place he had visited once or twice in the past.
Also, if it was about Count Ava, he knew without looking for any specific information.
Count Abba.
he said emphatically.
– Poison of the kingdom.
It was one of the poisons of the Franz kingdom.
-haha! Aren’t you the Crown Prince Carl!
He had a warm-hearted look and always gave good comments, but he could also see the young Carl.
-Father, ah… ! How is His Majesty the King
A noble of the kingdom could not make such a mistake.
It was an intentional mistake, an outright disregard, and treason in the grand scheme of things.
But Carl couldn’t push him.
The crown prince’s authority too.
-The Marquis Garbonne would be happy to see the crown prince too!
In front of the halo of the Marquis Garbon, he was no better than a faded apricot.
No, the Marquis of Garbonne.
He could be said to be one of Franz’s most influential people.
On behalf of the Duke of Ardennes, who is no different from being an old man in the back room, or the Duke of Multipa, who focuses on diplomacy, the Marquis Garbonne has locked the inside tightly and filled it with his own power.
That faction could be said to be the river of poison flowing through the kingdom.
‘They sell domestic information to foreign countries.’
An act that nobility of the kingdom should not do.
‘It is also their fault that they destroyed Terran.’
Those that rot the kingdom from within.
Count Ava was a piece of rotten flesh that had to be cut out even if it wasn’t this time.
after.
Carl dismissed the rest of the students, and sat still, lost in thought.
It was to make a plan, not to make others work and rest.
“You know”
The same goes for Elaine.
“Early or late, things about this mission will be revealed.”
Elaine Fontena.
Born as the offspring of a famous magic family, she could be said to be quite knowledgeable in aristocratic politics, even though she was a bastard.
It was only natural that she was smart in the first place.
It’s the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Franz assassinating the nobles of the kingdom.
And even if it’s a mission.
“The political burden will be enormous.”
so.
“This is the starting point.”
Elaine had a different, more serious face than usual.
start… .”
The knife cries out.
“Are you prepared If not, I’d rather give up this mission.”
“… … .”
“Declare war. This.
A declaration of war against the nobles.
No, to be precise, it was a declaration of war against the Marquis Garbonne.
slowly.
Warak.
Carl’s face contorted.
It was a face Carl had never shown before.
However, Elaine thought it was pitiful rather than ugly, and also felt that it was similar to her.
To think that she, who was abandoned as the daughter-in-law of the family, and the direct successor of the kingdom are similar.
It is absurd.
However, it was also a reality.
“Being the crown prince is so incompetent.”
Carl says.
“It is so miserable to be a king.”
A thought I had for a long time.
Before the mission, Carl vomited it up.
“You must have heard the rumors about your father”
Carl smiled bitterly at Elaine.
Palan Franz.
nickname to call him.
– The Fool King of Franz.
That too was purified, and he was called by the name of Franz’s idiot.
Even though he is the king, he can’t do anything, and he can’t do anything.
He stutters, his movements are uncomfortable, and he cannot even stand on the battlefield.
A scarecrow that just exists.
That’s why Franz can’t escape the small country.
“My father is not an idiot.”
you… .”
“Elaine. You are an alumnus like me, and at the same time, you are a son of a famous family. In addition… .”
Carl says.
“He’s also a comrade.”
She went through the dungeon raid together.
“It makes no sense to command you when you have something to hide.”
said Carl.
“My father is not an idiot. You are just enduring it for me and for the sake of the kingdom.”
“… … .”
Elaine listened silently.
“Also, my father… That’s why, even when my mother was assassinated, she remained silent and pretended not to know.”
the knife.
“I respect such a father.”
Giving up one’s own life and sacrificing for the sake of one’s family.
It was a sacrifice that the king of a country could not easily make.
That’s why Carl respects the King, Palan Franz.
but at the same time.
“I also resent it.”
My mother was murdered, but my father didn’t act even though he knew who the culprit was.
I just endured it and pretended not to know.
know.
How bone-breaking and flesh-eating it is.
But.
“I will never become a king like my father.”
Although Carl respected Farlan, he did not want to be like him.
know.
The knife raises itself.
“What does this mission mean”
In addition.
“What will be the result”
Carl says.
“What happened to Terran”
What they tried, who did nothing.
The continent will resent their actions, and perhaps resent them after thousands of years.
Even if that wasn’t the case, the Franz Kingdom could be in danger of being destroyed right away.
But that’s a future that hasn’t happened.
today.
“Terran has changed. Although the direction is unusual, it is heading in the right direction.”
change.
Being afraid of it won’t do anything.
“I will never be like my father.”
and.
“I will not leave Franz alone like this.”
Even if the existence of his great kingdom, Franz, is cut off, he himself will try.
That is.
‘Because he’s a hero.’
After speaking, Carl got up and moved.
Elaine left after he left.
food.
She gave off a light smile.
“So… .”
Words I can’t say, words I won’t say in the future.
“Why I like you.”
Not afraid of change, not afraid of trying.
Persistence worthy of it.
The crown prince had been trying for a long time to come up with an idea he had only recently come to terms with.
A bull inn in the county of Ava.
All the 3rd year A class students were gathered in one room that was shabby.
First… .”
The students of Terran took lessons from Uetra, the head of the Uesia family, although it was short, but when it comes to information gathering, the term specialist is not enough.
It was clear that he was at a better level than beginners when it came to gathering information.
“Count Abba is a dog scumbag.”
It was a wave.
“That son of a bitch treats the villagers like slaves and even hunts for fun.”
who
“Young Ji-min, you bastard.”
“You crazy bastard.”
That’s not all.
“Think of all the trash aristocrats you can imagine.”
“Um… .”
“Your house”
“개새끼야.”
They joked for a while, but soon the students were able to think of their own corrupt nobles.
“If you combine it all, Aba, that baby.”
OMG.
“It’s not just that kid. Babies are also a problem. He didn’t touch anything, and he said he sucked up all the blood just because he sent his offspring to the academy.”
“Send Terran. It didn’t cost money, I would have received it.”
“Oh, I might have died.”
them talking.
In addition, Count Ava’s third son went missing a few months ago.
“Isn’t that a good thing”
“It is a good thing for the future of the continent. But Count Abba went mad and ran amok. They made a fuss here and there to relieve anger, such as saying that Young Ji-min called a curse and offering a sacrifice to the demon king.”
It was the worst of the worst.
“But this bastard is quiet these days.”
why
I don’t know. They say he’s locked himself in his family and doesn’t come out often.”
then.
“You can’t attempt an assassination outside.”
The easiest way to assassinate a noble.
-It’s when you go out.
It was when they came out of the castle.
It is said that an escort is attached, but not all knights or wizards are attached, and only an appropriate number of escorts are accompanied.
In addition, there are many moments when you are alone because of the reason you tried to go out, and if you only figured out the movement, you could dig a trap or prepare poison and attempt an assassination.
However, as long as you are shutting yourself in the castle, you cannot attempt such a thing.
“I paid the guards back and figured out the shift times and the number of guards.”
“Where does the money come from”
“I am still a noble. I didn’t have to spend money on Terran anyway, and I brought some with me when I came out.”
therefore
Demis says.
“Be thorough.”
she continued.
“The number of guards is Sui, but should I say there are few holes”
What
“It is a characteristic of corrupt nobles. I have done so many things that my life is a waste.”
It was true.
In fact, among the nobility of the continent, it was the corrupt aristocrats who did the most defense.
Because resentment and enemies are everywhere, what is needed to live long and enjoy power is their safety.
“The number of knights is quite good.”
“I checked the castle, but the magic defense is thorough.”
“Hmm.”
They sit and share their opinions with their heads wrapped around their heads.
But there seemed to be no right way.
“It’s platinum.”
This is not gold grade.
Platinum should be.
Depending on the situation, it could even be a mithril grade.
“There is a way.”
Then Elaine, who was leaning against the wall with her arms folded, spoke.
“I looked around the castle with magic detection.”
“I did too.”
“Are you and me the same”
“… … .”
They were the ones who kept their mouth shut at Elaine’s words.
Elaine said pathetically as she came forward and looked at the open map.
“Here, here.”
Elaine making a mark with a pen.
“Do you know what corrupt nobles value most”
safety
what has already been said
and.
Elaine asks for another story.
ah!
Except for Karl, all of the students in Class 3 A were from noble families.
So when it came to the nobility, it could be said that he knew better than others.
“Secret Passage!”
That was it.
answer.
Corrupt nobles who prioritize safety.
They thoroughly defend the castle and struggle to protect their lives.
But even so, there are circumstances that are unavoidable.
In preparation for that time, the nobles were bound to make double or triple preparations.
Among them, one that could be called essential was the secret passage.
A hole through which the family members of the noble family could escape when the castle fell due to a war or a battle for the territory.
“But even if I knew where the secret passage was, it wouldn’t be completely blocked.”
but.
“Unless in special circumstances, it would have been designed to make opening itself impossible.”
That’s common sense.
However.
“Paweed. What did you say earlier”
Elaine asks Paweedy.
What That Count Ava is stuck in the castle”
“Not that.”
“That Count Ava is garbage”
Elaine shakes her head annoyedly.
“Those bastards are garbage.”
yes. It did
“And there is no Young Ji-min that those bastards haven’t touched.”
“Right”
damn
Elaine slapped Pawizy on the back of the head.
“Then do they always go out in broad daylight and harass Young Ji-min I don’t mind Count Ava, but I have other nobles’ eyes.”
ah… , no way!
Students who are nobles too.
They were soon able to derive an answer.
“Secret Passage!”
The descendants of Count Abba go out through a secret passage.
