Chapter 202 - Conference 4

“Who are you….”

Suddenly Ed asked.

“Who you are.., it is a terrible thing to say coming from you, even though I’m your half older brother with your same blood…”

“… What …!!”

At those words, Queen Elle and Marquis Maras stood up.

“My name is Alfred, Alfred Dean Tasmeria, the legitimate crown prince of this country! First in line to the throne!”

His voice roared like a thunder.

Though he was not saying it loudly, it was transmitted to every corner of this room, and those who heard it are full of a strange charm that makes them want to prostrate, as if they received an edict, and want to obey.

“… And where is the evidence that you are Prince Alfred!”

Marquis Maras shouted in a rush.

“He is the genuine Prince Alfred! Do not doubt the royal family… You are committing a grave sin!”

A man who appeared from behind Dean cried.

It was rudy my cousin, who was there.

… I already do not understand anything of what is presented before me.

“Well, weren’t you telling something funny before?, there is no one better to be king than Prince Edward ? …The next king of this country is the First Prince. It is written in the Kingdom’s law which is the only law of this country since its founding! Every person can not disobey it… If not the law dictates for them to be caught as rebels who planned to slay the rightful heir to the throne.”

“What, What … Where is such evidence!?”

“Is evidence necessary? With so many witnesses.. this is the proof, it is evidence. Priest Rafshimons, I ask you, who is not a nobleman of this country, did they said or not that before? “

“What entered my ears is certainly as you said. “

By convention, a Darryl’s representative is called on this occasion. Although the pope has not yet been decided, the Priest Rafshimonds that holds substantial power was present at this place.

… In other words, Priest Rafshimons is at the position of being a Darryl’s representative.

And the fact that he affirmed the words of Dean is by no means a small influence.

Although the Darryl’s church power fell due to my excommunication, but it’s still rooted in the people’s lives… And now there is this representative of Darryl, who has steadily built up the people’s trust, supporting Dean.

A bright person can never be ignored.

“I wonder… What do you have in your head Queen to hurry to make your move without confirming my death first.”

“… You! You cannot be real! … You cannot be king! After all your mother was a wore and died like that!”

Queen Elle cried in denial of Dean’s existence.

There is rage that floats on her face. It’s a deep hatred floating in those eyes.

It seemed to me that even her face that had been applied several layers of make-up was peeled off and her beautiful face was horrid now.

“I understood your feelings well… In such a place under the eyes of a lot of noble people gathered and in front of them, you could say such things… well … that only means that if you keep living in this place, this country will not progress. Guards can you please remove this people who were plotting against the throne from here? “

At Dean’s words, the guards moved.

“Don’t! … Rude people! Release your hands!”

They were resisting, but the guards are really professionals.

With no concern for their resistance, they dragged them.

“Grandfather! Mother!”

Ed shouts crying, but they were already dragged out of the room.

“You, well …!”

The remaining guards surround Ed and Yuri so as to control Ed who tried to attack Dean.

Yuri was trembling and crying as a sick kitty all fearfully.

I opened my mouth, like ripping apart the attention from their capture.

“… I wonder if Prince Alfred has something to say about the future measures to take against the country current crisis, I never wished for Edward to be king, but what would change so far if you became king? Apparently, Prince Alfred is someone who cares for the people, so I would like to ask for a plan for that. “

I asked Dean.

Dean instantly surprised turned to look at me… However, he immediately laughed invincibly.

It is my most favorite face, I feel like flying.

“Food collecting … I should be disappointed if this were to be cut off now … I disagree with my brother who said disgustingly that they would capture the Duke of Almeria and take the territory. Offering about 40% of their supplies to the kingdom, the Duke of Almeria still promises a well living to its people more than any other territory, its quantity of resources and good management makes them more prosperous than any other. We can’t allow for them to leave us. The amount of relief supplies sent from their territory should be cut to half as long as the Duke of Almeria receives people in high need as their capacity allows them. Also, the territory of the Duke of Almeria doesn’t need relief supplies, so if the army from the Duke of Almeria’s family simultaneously draws their hands, all of us will be hit hard economically. They are still in this country because it’s profitable. If there are losses, they will switch to other countries. There is a port in the Duke of Almeria and has active trade, so it’s value is more than a new business for our country. They are a main counterparty. “

“But… if you capture their territory and make that the foundation of the kingdom …”

“That’s something foolish to say, the same as with moving the army. Our troops are mainly from Count Anderson that with the Duke of Almeria are family, together with General Gazelle who is the heavyweight of the army and is also their family. Their territories are united in the borders, and next to the port. If those houses combine hands, this country doesn’t have an army anymore. “

“but…”

“There is no human resources capable of governing the Duke of Almeria in the kingdom, and if their territory is forcibly taken, the people will not obey us and will start a rebellion, because she has made that much for them.”

At his words, other nobles falter.

“Well … it is something I appreciate your extra evaluation of our territory. That’s why I will ask you, how are you going to end this issue?”

He defended the Duke of Almería… That’s why it is my turn next.

Let’s make this the start point for him to secure his position.

That is why I asked him such a tough question.
