70 Mr. Bastein is on his way to Robos.

“Here comes the party. ”

Earl Fabious said that everyone's gaze was focused on me. It was awkward for everyone to feel uncomfortable meeting me like this until yesterday.

I wave to Earl Fabious.

“Grandpa, you're here first. ”

“No more greetings. Show it to everyone. ”

I took the kill list out of my arms and handed it over to my grandfather.

As everyone turned to the paperwork, I looked at the middle-aged greeting sitting in front of the table. It was Duke Bastein.

The duc sent me a suspicious glance and carefully examined the documents as they came.

“You are the King's signature. ”

Then a man woke up. It was one of Josten's chief of staff. Despite his low position, he showed exceptional talents in terms of recruitment and was heavily employed under the command of Bastein.

“Duke! Earl Fabious is right. You just can't get away with it. ”

I rumbled as if everyone was in tune. I don't want them to die for their perverse crimes.

Duke Bastein raises one hand to silence everyone.

“Be quiet.”

“Duke!"

“Nothing has been confirmed yet. ”

“Did you not just confirm the royal seal? ”

“A weaver can be forged. ”

“Duke!"

Duke Bastein ignores Josten's cry and stares at me quietly.

“Backbone?”

I grinned. I knew the Duke would be stubborn.

“Yes, tell me. ”

“Is this the only evidence? ”

“That's right. That's the only one. But you have to give me time to prove it. This evidence is clear. ”

“What evidence? ”

“The victory party is in ten days. It's the day I invite everyone here to celebrate the victory of both Kara and Robos. You know what that means, right? ”

Duke Bastein stares at me.

“That's not proof. ”

“Sure. There's a victory party at your palace that day. The victory party that everyone in this room invited to. That's when we decided to put them all on speaker mechanisms, so we'll know for sure in ten days. ”

Everyone jumps up and yells at the duc. I couldn't sacrifice my family to get proof.

“Duke! We must warn the family and evacuate, and hit them immediately! ”

“That's right. Polkin Gateway, impregnable, fell to 4,000. Where is this more circumstantial evidence? Look here. Even Earl Malthus, who is a party, knows he has a joke, and he's not with us? ”

Earl Malthus nods at Duke Bastein with a willingness in one of the chief's murals.

“You're right, Duke. That day, of course, most of the Polkin Gateway troops were killed without ever pulling out their swords. It's absolutely impossible without someone on the inside. ”

Duke Bastein grips his forehead for trouble. Rebellion was not a trivial event caused by a moment of emotion, but everyone lost their minds and went back and forth.

The Duke stared at me again.

“Is it true that the king will drive us into treason and kill us? ”

I shrugged.

“Yes. If you don't believe me, put me away. So ten days from now, if all your families are dead, I'm right, so you can let me go, or you can blow my head off. ”

Everyone said with excitement again.

“Why don't you go back and say that? If you're not sure, how can you risk your life? ”

Duke Bastein taps the conference table with all his might.

“That's why we need to be more suspicious! Why would the enemy's back risk their lives for us? This can never happen unless you have something else to do. Speak white. What did you gain by inciting rebellion against us? ”

“Your king cannot be trusted. It hurts when I get my back cut. ”

“Then can we be trusted? ”

“Of course not. ”

“Then why did you choose us? ”

“Honestly, it's not even a choice. I only want rebellion. You have a good sense of reason, don't you? ”

The expression clears Duke Bastein's face.

Upon rebellion in the Kingdom of Robos, there will be severe chaos in the regime, and the land will be ravaged by civil war. Even if the duc succeeds in the rebellion, it is quite difficult to spread military capabilities externally, even if he has to pay attention to the internal medicine for a long time.

This means completing the creation of the Kingdom of Kara and giving it the perfect time to stabilize the country.

“That makes sense. But what about the war after that? ”

“It's okay. We only need 10 years. Then you won't be able to invade even if you die. ”

“Why?”

“I can't do that. You're not capable. ”

After 10 years, all of humanity will perish. Of course, the dead cannot start a war.

But Duke Bastein was mistaken.

“In the meantime, do you think Kara can be stronger than our kingdom of Robos? ”

“Well, not nearly enough for you. ”

“The population alone is more than 10 times different. ”

“Hehe. When did we go to war with the population? The last war was a lot different than that. ”

“Not really.”

“So you're doing this? ”

Duke Bastein shakes his hand.

“Not yet. You still haven't given us enough evidence that the king is framing us for treason and executing them. I just told you what you wanted. ”

“I know that in 10 days. We just have to wait like now. ”

Soon, everyone started to gather again. As I said, the death of both their families and family members is guaranteed, although it is a solid basis.

Never, I couldn't wait until then.

Duke Bastein waves his hand to calm everyone down.

“Enemy ruse. It's not our job to be careless. ”

“Then tell your family to evacuate. ”

In the opinion of one of the chief of staff, I laughed and the duc shakes his head. In fact, children in Royal Noble Schools and families living in the capital also serve as hostages to the central government to deter local nobles.

Once they are all gone, the king will doubt the nobles' intentions here, and the rebellion will be averted.

“Then the civil war begins. ”

“Duke!"

Earl Fabious approaches me while the meeting room grows noisy.

“Backbone. Let me see. ”

Soon the erl took me out. The erl, who looked around, told me quietly.

“Is there really no other reason? ”

“No. And I don't believe in the King-signed hit list. What's the point of showing it out?" You just have to wait ten days for an answer, so you just have to wait until then. ”

“I'm telling you, I can't. Can they accept that we're trying to avenge the death of their family to gain their confidence? ”

“That's what they're selling. What am I supposed to do? The Duke is reluctant to make a choice, and he deserves it. ”

Marquis Fabious shakes his head.

“I mean, we'll have a problem later. If the Duke refuses to execute his entire family, his henchmen will grumble. ”

“You will.”

“Then the new kingdom, even if we win the civil war, will have to carry the goal and the deposit with it. ”

It takes a while. I wish to strengthen the newly born Kingdom of Robos. That's why I'm going to blow King Robos' head off and take Duke Bastein to the throne.

“Heh. There's no way around it, but it's a little dangerous. ”

“Why?”

“If we don't, Duke Bastein and the rest of his commanding men may die beyond the deeper dimensions. ”

“Then do it. Honestly, it can't get any worse. ”

“If that's what Grandpa says, okay. ”

I have entered the chamber with Count Fabious. The meeting chairman was still very noisy about the Duke and the other commanders' arguments. Especially Earl Malthus. The erl trusts my word 100%. I'm right, the Earl's mistakes are erased and the exit route reopened.

I brought a chair and stared at Duke Bastein quietly.

“Duke, do you really trust King Robos? ”

Duke Bastein, who was talking with Earl Malthus, stopped talking and looked at me.

“I trust you more. ”

“Indeed, the lord king is closer than I am to the enemy. Then let's talk about you, Duke. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Why don't you start a rebellion? ”

“I don't believe you. ”

I waved my hand decisively.

“No, I want to talk about you. Why are you talking about me? ”

“Hmm?"

“If we win this civil war, the Duke will be king of the great wealth. What an honorable position. Then why don't you do the great and holy thing? ”

It silences everyone, and Duke Bastein narrows his eyes.

“I pledged my allegiance to the Kingdom of Robos. ”

“Why did you take such an oath? You could have done something for me. ”

“Loyalty to the kingdom is the duty of the attendant. ”

I smiled, Pic.

“Is that what you're telling me to believe? ”

“What?"

“Hey, this is completely out of bounds. You say you can't trust me because you don't talk to me about benefits, and you ask me to trust you with morality? Tell me the truth. What good is it to the Duke that you won't rebel in this situation? If we ambush them now, we'll be left behind. It's completely unprotected. ”

Duke Bastein is speechless for a moment.

The Duke is right to rebel a hundred times for his own benefit. There are 150,000 troops and other commanders will join the rebellion.

And now is the perfect time to start a rebellion. It's not defensive, so it's easy to hit and climb, and ultimately the family survives.

“So?”

“Is this it or not? If King Robos destroys your entire family, there will be more reason for revolt, and the undertaker generals will come into civil war more badly because of that rage. In other words, Duke, you have the moral high ground to win a civil war.

W-Was this what you're after? Wife, you can have it back. Children, you can have it again. ”

I just meant selling the duc to a total dog dump. Everyone was so excited that they stood up to scold me, that Earl Fabious slapped the meeting table with his own sword.

“Duke, answer me. ”

Duke Bastein is even more speechless. If King Robos executing everyone's family ten days later, it is true that the Duke will benefit from that.

“The cause is made by the winner. If I win, I don't have to be moral. In addition, it is not to be seen that the odds of victory arising from the wrath of the commander generals are better than the odds of a surprise attack. ”

You nod as if everyone is accepting. The Duke's not wrong. But I still shaken my head.

“This is more suspicious. Duke, you're blurring. The question I asked was, what good would you do if you hesitated to rebel? I didn't want to hear your excuses. What's in it for me? Do you intend to gain the sympathy of the neutral nobles by excusing their families' deaths to increase their chances of success? ”

“No.”

“Then what is it? ”

The duc clamps his hands together.

“When we stir up rebellion, isn't there any guarantee that your Kara won't come after us? ”

I smiled a little. It was revealed. I came all the way down here, so there was nothing to talk about.

“Kara's too busy building a dynasty to stand behind you. But if you don't believe me, I'll give you back Polkin Gateway. ”

Everyone was appalled and focused on the Duke's mouth. Once we get back to Polkin Gateway, we can bring stability to the rear, as well as supplies for a year's war.

“Weren't you supposed to give me Polkin Gateway? We must cross Polkin Gateway to get back to our homeland for the rebellion. ”

“Sure, but I can't give it to you. I'm starting to doubt the Duke's intentions. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Are you flirting with the king? The kind that would kill his entire family and win a war. Apparently so. ”

“No.”

“Then the choice is either one of them. Either you answer me honestly here and trust me, or we end this conversation here. I'm starting to think the Duke is mistaken. I have your necklace. As soon as I get back, you're all dead. You can search your king or starve here. Choose, damn it.

What? ”

Everyone's face turned white as a blank sheet. Yes, I actually have their necklaces.

I turned my back on the reluctant Duke of Bastein.

“Good. Then we'll all die here. I'm going.”

Duke Bastein clenches his fist and replies.

“I'm not sure why. ”

I thought you didn't know. As soon as I knew, I would have drawn my sword at King Robos. There's no other choice.

“I'm getting the feeling. ”

“What's that? ”

“You've been brainwashed. Ever since you were a child, an endless infusion of loyalty to kingdoms and kingdoms hesitates you now. It's well packaged under the name Loyalty. It's a social system created by the Lobros dynasty. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“But if you don't know, try to succeed this rebellion once. Then you'll know it naturally. Because you have to do the same. Hehe.”

Duke Bastein bites his lips tightly in everyone's desperate gaze. I was coming to a difficult conclusion, but it was an easy choice in some ways. In fact, the duc has no choice but to rebel.

“Duke, let's go. I have to go.”

“That's right. If you refuse my hand now, we are doomed. We have only one way to get there. ”

Duke Bastein closes his eyes and falls into remission. After a while, I opened my mouth in difficulty.

“We set out for Robos. Departure is day after tomorrow morning. Make every effort to ensure there is no disruption to your journey. ”

“Old!”

Once the duc's orders have been issued, the command begins to move as one.

I smiled bitterly. The flag of rebellion has finally risen. Now the incompetent Old King Robos is gone, and the incompetent Duke of Bastein will be king of a new kingdom in the age of destruction.

In addition, Padilla will have more work to do.

Once Kara is strong, Duke Bastein will strengthen his defense just as much.
