Chapter 416: 416
"My name is Trougotte Lakes Ardler, the Fourth Prince of the Ardrasian Empire . Welcome to the Empire . Her Royal Highness Princess Marianne . My empire welcomes you as a guest . "
Brother Traw greeted us gracefully .
I'm not surprised because I can do a lot of things if I'm motivated . It's just me .
The Knights of the Kintetsu, including Erna, are staring at the transformation .
"Thank you for taking the time to welcome me . My name is Marianne, the Crown Princess . "
"You must be tired from your long journey . I have a room for you . Rest first . "
"No . . . if His Majesty's plans are available, I'd like to talk to you first . "
"I see . Let's multiply . You will find this trough next to you during your stay in the Imperial City . Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you . We will take care of it . Go to your room first . I'll call the Emperor . "
That's how Brother Traw laughs and starts showing Marianne around .
Perfect .
"Hey, Al . Did Lord Trougotte eat anything strange?
"Are you the real brother of the Crown Prince?I can do that . "
"But you weren't that good when you were leading the army in the West .
"I'm not serious about leading an army . "
"Are you serious now?
Looks like it .
"Why all of a sudden . . . . "
"Essentially, he's kind to girls . "
"Gentle . . . ?
Don't go in there .
Having such a conversation, we broke up with Brother Traw and Marianne .
We have a place to go .
"Now . . . you're going to be preached?"
As we murmured, we headed for the Throne Room .

"The Seventh Prince Arnold Lakes Ardler, the Northern Plenipotentiary, greets His Majesty . "
Hmm .
I looked up and saw my father's face for the first time in a long time .
Have you lost a little weight?
Are you eating properly?I don't think you're eating because you're busy .
Someone in trouble .
With that in mind, my father narrows his eyes .
"Thank you . You don't see the color of reflection?
"Reflecting . "
"Do something you don't have in mind . . . . . "
"It's true . I don't regret it . I thought it was necessary for the Empire, so I acted arbitrarily . But I think it was an act that lacked consideration . I'm sorry, sir . I'm worried about you . "
When I lowered my head like that, my father went silent for a while .

Then a loud sigh echoed between the thrones .
" . . . I was going to preach to you when I got back . "
"I'm ready . "
"Absolutely . . . forgive me for everything I've done . An army talent who brought together the northern aristocracy and achieved battle results, and an arm that stabilized the north . Very impressive . I'm sorry for all the trouble with the northern aristocracy and Rezelotte . I'm glad you solved everything - that's my son . "
The anger did not fly unexpectedly .
Instead, I flew in words of praise .
After that, the Prime Minister next to my father approaches me .
"Appreciate the achievements so far and present the Imperial Silver Cross to the Seventh Prince Arnold . Well done . "
The Imperial Silver Cross is one of three medals .
There are copper crosses, silver crosses, and golden crosses .
The copper cross was given to Count Rebecca von Sitterheim . That was a tribute to the former Count of Sitterheim .
The Empire must have certain achievements .
Even the lowest line of copper crosses are hard to live for . The silver cross is even more difficult .
No matter how difficult it was, even my sister Lise finally got the Silver Cross when she was promoted to Marshal .
I had a lot of results before that .
"It's overrated . Not available . "
"It feels good . The Baron praised you, too . Take it . "
My father murmured with a disgusting face .

So I finally figured out my intentions .
I see . To distract attention from Leo .
It's not factionally good for me to get ahead of Leo . But it's a strange thing to keep me alert .
It was the Prime Minister's idea to use me relentlessly as a decoy .
"If that's the case . . . it's impossible"
"The medal also means upgrading your character . There are achievements to date . There will be fewer complaints . "
"I don't know what you're talking about .
I murmured in a dumb manner .
Of course I understand .
The Baron would suggest that, too .
"I want to make the clan an ally . It's not my country . "
I thought it was a good idea .
"But I can't leave everything to Princess Marianne . That's why I'm trying to marry Princess Marianne and someone in the royal family . You're the leader, Arnold . "
"I don't think the people of the clan will admit that I ordered the invasion of the clan . "
"For the people . Princess Marianne also tried to save her . There should be no disagreement . "
Jesus Christ .
It's a political story, at all .
If you want to be an ally, it's best to have a trusted royal family king of that country . You will also be related .
However, there are few people in the royal family who can be trusted .
It is inevitable that I will take the lead .
" . . . give me time to think about it"
"We don't have much time . A telegram just arrived . It is said that Rezelotte dropped most of the clan's national army . There are only a few resistance forces . When the oppression is over, I will send Princess Marianne home . Until then . "
"Yes . . . Father, no, Your Majesty . I would like to make a separate suggestion . "
"What?
This is also a promise to the Baron .
It should be done while the clan country is under discussion .
"If the reign of the clan is over, we should re-examine the death of the late Crown Prince . "
" . . . what happens now when you dig deeper?
"We need the truth . You don't have to tell the people . Investigate inside . "
" . . . let's think about it"
Father stood up from the throne .
After I dropped it off, I got up, too .
Now I'm a dangerous man at once .
Well, it's not a bad thing .
The more prominent, the safer Leo becomes .
In order to do that, we should also agree to go to the clan country . . . but I wonder what happened .
