Chapter 110: Dream It's been 18 years since I became Prime Minister, and King Tarim has passed away at the young age of 44. Of course, those 18 years weren't entirely peaceful for this country. There was a time when the Jamal Kingdom put pressure on Midland. When we deployed the Royal Army near the border, making it clear that we were ready to attack at any time, the ambassador from the neighboring country hurriedly called for peace talks. Apparently, some of the royal family were dissatisfied with…-

## Episode 109: A Promise to the People After this episode, there are only two more remaining. Since the incident, I had been by the King's side, quietly watching over him. This was after His Majesty had reconciled with his mother. "What should I do?" the King muttered one day, seemingly out of the blue. "What troubles you, Your Majesty?" "I can't do anything," the King continued. It was a glimpse into the pain within his heart. A fool would never worry, much less confide such thoughts to…

Episode 108: Prime Minister Including this episode, there are three more. As I write, I keep adding more and more, and I'm troubled by how it's turning into a longer story than usual. The murder of Hofer was a major shock to the King as well. It took the King a month to regain his energy after the incident, and it took a considerable amount of time for him to regain his authority. During that time, we also had to pay attention to the movements of the Sorbeny side. They were devastated by Hofer's…

The royal palace was thrown into utter chaos. Hoffa, the most powerful figure in the palace, had been murdered. Moreover, the perpetrator was none other than the king himself. Hoffa's death was a devastating shock to those who had been brainwashed. Prime Minister Solbeni and the leading cabinet members and nobles were in a state of utter bewilderment, completely losing their ability to make judgments. Normally, the perpetrator of a murder would be immediately captured and imprisoned. However, the…

Two months passed in that state, and then Reverend Starfen visited me. "They would like to meet you in the capital." This meant that preparations for the Laval Church were complete. I disguised ten soldiers as merchants, divided them into groups of two or three, and had them infiltrate the capital. After meeting them at a cheap inn, we secretly headed to the Laval Church. The former instructor, Milona, greeted me. He introduced me to the head of the church. "Thank you for coming," the church…

Hofa, while feeling surprised by the news of the defeat, had somewhere in his heart considered the possibility of defeat. (That Toma must be plotting something. He won't let us win easily.) Even after investigating the state of Toriholi, the details of the magical weapon that defeated the Bawa Roma army remained unknown. Before the war, there were reports that Greg and Midland were conducting unusual military training. However, this information didn't allow him to judge whether it would be…

"Solveny told me to cooperate because he is going to attack Belga," Elliot said. This was what I had feared. "He's planning to use the capture of Belga as a pretext to advance the Royal Army into the Gregg territory and put pressure on me." "So, what are you going to do?" "Of course, I'll refuse." Elliot's confident background was due to the presence of the guns I had given him. The Gregg army was equipped with 3,000 guns and was training with them. "I'm going to give Solveny a hard time…

"What did you say? The Queen Mother is pregnant?" Elliot exclaimed in a strange voice. "That woman must be almost 40. How could this happen?" Even Richter was surprised. At the regular meeting, I presented the information Sadal had brought. As a close aide to the King who frequented the royal palace, he learned of Queen Mother Margaret's pregnancy. "So, Hofer finally made the Queen Mother bear a child, intending to have him succeed him?" The Queen Mother's father had connections with the royal…

Chapter 102: Hoffa's Ambition Hoffa had been paying attention to Toma for a long time. He suspected that Toma, like King Gregory, was a reincarnated person with special powers. The most famous reincarnated person in this country was King Gregory the Founder. It happened over 100 years ago, and it’s hard to know how much of it is true, but he is said to have possessed superhuman strength and skills. “Even when surrounded by ten enemy soldiers on the battlefield, he crushed them without a…

Chapter 101: Bride In this world, as in some parts of former Japan, it is considered natural for a master to lay hands on female servants in the upper classes. It was considered commonplace for a man to have affairs with servants within the same house, even if he had a wife. In particular, nobles would keep many women in order to have as many children as possible to ensure the continuation of their family line. I didn't disagree with the idea, but I thought it would only disrupt the harmony of the…
