Chapter 219
Chapter 219 - Let's Continue Without a Climax
It could be said that the life of Minshiana Kingdom's Prince Sieg changed drastically on that day .
The Subjugator of a Thousand Ogres . The dragon-riding White Dragon King . The White Sword's Successor .
Praised with various names, the legend of Mishiana's young hero Sieg spread throughout the nation . The mysterious explosion at the royal castle after the Ogre battle was overshadowed by that topic, and Royal Capital Shubain was lively .
However, the focus of that topic, Prince Sieg, was currently lonely .
Queen Yuuko had been in a deep sleep since that Ogre subjugation .
The black lightning curse fired by that boy couldn't be broken by anyone, and her body was weakening little by little, day by day .
The official story was that she was resting to recover from the fatigue of commanding during the Ogre subjugation, and unfortunately, there was as yet no prospect of recovery . Two days after the subjugation, the East Dragon Village's Ao came to enquire, but he didn't have a favorable reply for dispelling the curse .
And General Dios, whom the devil had impersonated, was not dead . Although he was thrown from the Wyvern he was riding and nearly died from the devil's attack, it seemed he fell into a deep river and was somehow able to escape . Although he was injured, he reached the royal capital with his own feet, but he was blamed for the devil being invited in and the one thousand Ogres invading under his nose, so he was secretly imprisoned . Now he was awaiting execution .
Also, it was judged inappropriate for the prince's retainer Sakyure, the criminal's daughter, to stay by the prince's side, and she was removed from her duty . Furthermore, all members of the Royal Knights were dismissed due to being unable to protect the queen, so they were separated from the prince .
For that reason, Sieg was surrounded by a knight order composed of noble sons called the Ayato Knights . They showed respect to Sieg, but they had a conspicuously arrogant attitude towards other people, and their reputation inside the castle was the worst .
And the country was currently being managed by the civil officials, with Cabinet Minister Boltoa at their head . Since the incident this time was the army's mistake, they regained their influence in one go .
After the death of Loren Khan, who was controlling the civil officials, Queen Yuuko deemed them an incompetent group and judged she could control the group instead of killing them, but as might be expected, it was difficult for the army, the central part of the Queen Faction, to resist without their two pillars Queen Yuuko and General Dios .
A little over a week after the queen fell asleep . The convalescence excuse could still be used for now, but the situation wouldn't be considered acceptable before long, and there would probably be movement to make Sieg the king . And Sieg was still young . Based on the current situation, it was easy to imagine that Cabinet Minister Boltoa would become regent and control the government with the change of rulers .
Prince Sieg had grown as a human being and warrior after traveling with Kazane and the others, but he was unfamiliar with politics . He was still in the middle of his education, and it was true that someone who could manage the government would be necessary if he became king . As it was now, there was no good pretext to stop the Civil Official Faction .
However, Prince Sieg was being kept in the dark about such circumstances . Naturally . He currently had his hands full being carried around on a palanquin as a hero, so he didn't know the state of affairs . Information was being blocked so that he couldn't accurately understand . He was certainly suspicious about most of the people around him being changed, but he knew absolutely nothing about the reason behind that .
Furthermore, Prince Sieg was being made to devote himself to his role as a hero, so he didn't have the leeway to feel suspicious . It was unfair to ask more of a boy who was dragging his tired body around to act as a substitute for his mother .
「You seem busy . Truly . 」
That was said by the sole member of the Queen Faction currently beside Prince Sieg, Garua Barua . He was the man who attempted to assassinate Kazane, but now he had completely changed to become a Kazane believer . So he and the prince getting along well was natural . Furthermore, he was in relatively the same position as before; the Magic Accumulator was being researched collaboratively with Tsuvara, so preparing a substitute was difficult at the present time .
Also, as might be expected, the prince would become suspicious if every person around him was removed . Cabinet Minister Boltoa wanted to avoid that, and since he knew Garua's disposition, he decided to make him the prince's attendant for now . Of course, that was limited to when the Ayato Knights were nearby . Something unnecessary being said would be intolerable .
「Yeah . But I have to persevere so that my mother won't be disappointed when she wakes up . 」
Prince Sieg said, but the dark circles under his eyes were being hidden by makeup . It wasn't only the exhausting work after his mother collapsed . He was spending all his spare time beside Queen Yuuko, calling out to her .
「Well, please make sure not to persevere so much that you collapse . Her Majesty the Queen wouldn't want that, nor would Kazane-sama . 」
Sieg smiled after those words . He was probably remembering his time with Kazane and the others .
「Yeah . But I also decided to become a man worthy of Kazane . I have to grow up quickly, before Kazane marries someone . 」
Sieg said with a smile, not knowing and never expecting that Kazane had a child about a month and a half after they parted .
「Well then, I have to meet mother again today and ask her when she'll get up . 」
「Hahaha, that's good . Should I ask once as well?」
