“It really is becoming quite interesting, isn’t it?” (Lizette)
Summer vacation ended, and Liz and Christia returned to the Royal Academy.
And then, that Liz is making a totally villainous face. Even though she’s a clumsy fool. A clumsy fool.
“But, this is the Royal Academy… no, in the first place, isn’t the fact that we are talking about a coup like this within the kingdom itself being completely leaked to King Eibar?” (Christia)
“It’s fine. At the very least, if someone were eavesdropping around this room, Monica would notice, and even if he read the manifesto we sent to the nobles, it wouldn’t matter.” (Harold)
“Why is that?” (Liliana)
“Because, with almost all the nobles in agreement, it’s impossible for King Eibar to suppress this. Besides, the kingdom’s army is under my control. He can’t even dispatch soldiers for a crackdown.” (Harold)
Moreover, even within the royal palace, starting with the Prime Minister and ministers, all the civil officials are on our side. King Eibar no longer has allies and has already fallen to being a naked king.
“That’s how it is, so by now, isn’t he probably stomping his feet in frustration?” (Harold)
“Ufufu… I see. I would certainly love to see such a ridiculous sight.” (Lizette)
“You’ll be able to see it soon.” (Haru)
Yes… Since Liz and the others came as representatives of their respective countries, we can now establish legitimacy for the international stage. All that remains is to storm the royal palace and force King Eibar to abdicate.
“…Will it really go that easily?” (Liliana)
“Liliana?” (Harold)
“I don’t understand difficult things, but if it were me, the moment Haru-san sent letters to the nobles, I think the kingdom would have already taken some kind of action.” (Liliana)
“Ahh—…” (Haru)
I also thought that at the time. So, I had Duke Chevalier cooperate, and with the highest level of caution, we delivered the manifesto to the nobles. But… it seems that King Eibar deliberately let it slide. Most likely, if he had prevented it beforehand, the main scenario of Engage Hazard, the ‘Harold Coup Incident’, wouldn’t occur. He must have been wary of that.
From his perspective, all he can do is laugh at the situation where, by stubbornly adhering to the scenario, he has brought about an uncontrollable disaster and ended up tightening his own noose. But… King Eibar wants me to start a coup no matter what. Because by doing so, that man gains an even greater advantage. That’s the only possible explanation.
“What exactly is the benefit for that guy…?” (Harold)
In a voice low enough that no one could hear, I muttered.
I had been thinking about this all along. At first, I thought it was to favor Wilfred, the son of his mistress, and make that man the next king. But after Wilfred failed time and again and was ultimately defeated by me, he was easily discarded, and the hidden child, Owen, was made into the protagonist’s replacement. And then, Uly revealed that he was on King Eibar’s side.
At the time, I was shocked by the betrayal, but on the other hand, thanks to Uly revealing his identity and talking about unnecessary things… I was able to understand that King Eibar was trying to progress according to the main scenario of Engage Hazard.
For what purpose? I thought about various reasons, but after regaining my past life’s memories and observing King Eibar, I quickly realized that that short-sighted, arrogant, and emotional man was not fit to be a king. It was impossible to believe that such a man was acting for the sake of the kingdom.
Then, it is only natural to judge that he is doing everything for himself. Of course, I can’t deny the possibility that it’s the typical forced scenario progression of a game reincarnation, and that’s why King Eibar is acting this way. But if that were the case, then the characters, including me, should also be forcibly made to act in a certain way.
If the reason is that I, being a reincarnator, am an irregularity, then still, it has nothing to do with the other characters. That means, what King Eibar gains by correctly following the main scenario of Engage Hazard… No, I don’t get it. For this, I have no choice but to ask Uly. Whether he will tell me or not is another matter.
“Haru, so when will we make our move?” (Lizette)
“Sorry to rush things, but tonight… at 4 AM.” (Harold)
“Umu. That is the most optimal time to launch a surprise attack.” (Carla)
Crossing her arms, Carla nodded in satisfaction.
I remembered something like that being said in some game from my past life, so I just followed it… but it seems to be correct. “Then, until then, everyone should rest their bodies and prepare for the night. …But be cautious. There’s no guarantee that King Eibar won’t make a move against us.” (Harold)
“Fufu, I understand. Well, if that happens, I will simply burn them all to ashes.” (Lizette)
Liz gave a villainous chuckle, then returned to her room.
Christia, Carla, Liliana, Cardis, Raphael, and Owen also left.
Lloyd? He is not included in this coup’s members. Even though he is a capture target in Galhaz, I feel a little bad about making him bear this burden… just a little.
“Xandra?” (Harold)
“Haru-sama, there is still time until 4 AM. Since it is a rare opportunity, would you care for a sparring match?” (Alexandra)
Saying that, Xandra smiled gently.
