177 Letters flying to me.

An old man came to my office.

His name is Earl Drachel. He was supposed to be the leader of my cooperative faction in the past, but soon after being acquired by Helen and Earl Brian, who were seeking independence, he became an old man in the backbone.

Perhaps it was Earl Drachel who suffered the greatest loss in my escape. In its original history, the chancellor of the territory of Karl and the man who wielded great power after him are now delivering letters.

“Long time no see, Grand Duke. I'm so glad to see you so well. ”

But I didn't like this old man very much.

In his past life, Earl Drachel did not only keep a close eye on me, who was running the car at the time, but also walked away from every incident I did.

And Birch Brian hated the Earl very much. Brian was an Independent, and Castle Drachel was a friendly supporter of the Yosrahim Empire.

Birch Bryan gives a blunt voice.

“Earl. State your business. And I hope you don't try to persuade the Grand Duke. ”

“I'm just going to talk about your future and the interests of House Carr. ”

“Isn't that what you were talking about? I'll pretend to be for the Grand Duke, but I'll tell you what's in your best interest, I'll tell you what's in your family's best interest, and I'll tell you what's in your family's best interest, except yours. ”

I raise my hand to let Brian have his cock. This is a collision from the beginning. This will prolong the conversation.

“Tell me, Earl. What did he say?”

“The Grand Duke is deeply concerned and distressed about your treachery. ”

I smiled, Pic.

“Phew. You're not even listening to yourself. ”

“No, the Grand Duke loves you very much. ”

“Not that one. ”

“Yes? Then what? ”

I waved my hand.

“You don't need to know. If you know his heart, you're dead. Well, I'm willing to kill him with my own hands. Do you want to talk about it? ”

“Oh, no. ”

“Then keep talking. ”

“Yes, you have been acquitted of the Grand Duke after a long meeting with Emperor Yosrahim. ”

“I've heard that story from the messenger before. I forgive you.”

“I'm not talking about forgiveness, I'm talking about regression into the past. which means that the Grand Duke is going to take back the true car that he hopes is going to be the Grand Duke's heir. ”

I scratched my nose.

I don't know why my father can't keep track of the situation like this.

“Tell me the truth. You didn't go to the Emperor and build a fence, did you? The Emperor called him to threaten you? ”

“Yes?”

“To be honest, my dad hates giving me a job as a Grand Duke. Then we need to get Josef out of here. And because of the nature of my power back in the Grand Duke, I had to kill Josef, who was the Grand Duke. Isn't that right?”

“Are you going to kill Grand Duke Josef? ”

“That's what I'm saying. No, I can't accept that offer, can I? Of course, if you accept the offer, you will regain your rightful place. And after a while, when the civil war is over, my uncle will find all sorts of excuses and try to kill me. Why would I crawl into my own grave? This is how far the relationship goes.

It's over. The coin's already bounced. Now it's either uncle or I'm dead. ”

Earl Drachel continues the conversation with a calm tone.

“Grand Duke, calm down and listen to me. Catherine, the Great Lady of Flame, is helping our Emperor soldiers. ”

“So?”

“Have you not heard of him? ”

I sighed deeply.

“I heard. I know. But?”

“Then it's too obvious who wins. ”

“Yes. We will win. ”

“Even though the Empire is helping Catherine? ”

“Oh, my God. Is it just you? It's also in the air. ”

Earl Drachel listens to both of you, saying that you heard him wrong.

“Yes?”

“Let me just say one thing. You seem confident that you have a dung fly on your forehead, but don't look on your own good side. We're risking our lives because we have a place we can trust. But the funny thing is, we know why you're so confident, and you don't know the source of our confidence. In times like these, almost all of us

Y-yeah. I like dung flies, but how long do you think they'll stay on their foreheads? She won't be long now. Katrina's still installing it, not because our side can't help it, but because we're keeping it quiet. From the heaven's perspective, she's more valuable than a human being. You know? ”

Earl Drachel shakes one eye.

“You mean the heavens want the destruction of the Yosrahim Empire? ”

“Luckily, you understand. ”

“What about Catherine? ”

“The times of gale wrath. She's always been a raging rager. Anyway, go tell your father. I'm not just standing next to some smashing kid and barking at his owner's parents. The child will be manipulated by his parents later, but the dog below is just a row of cauldrons. Of course, if you're lucky, you get hit with a broom.

It'll be over. But it hurts a lot as a dog. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Earl Drachel is speechless, and I stand in front of a window.

“Go tell him. I'm not just Dong-tae's eyes. As a father, you may look like an immature son, but I know one because I have strong eyes. Strong is this way, and history will flow to us. So don't contradict the course of history, but conform. House Carr is a man of vision and history.

Y-you 'll have to do it once in a while, of course, but you'll know it when you do. ”

“Very well. I'll go tell him. ”

I turn my head toward the trail of Drachel.

“By the way, didn't your father say anything else? ”

“Actually, I have something that you left with me. ”

Earl Drachel takes out a sealed scroll letter.

“What?”

“This is a letter from His Holiness to convey secretly to the Grand Duke. If the Grand Duke doesn't take our offer, you tell him. ”

“Okay. I have to check it out, so get out of here. ”

“Yes. See you next time, then. ”

As Earl Drachel leaves, Earl Brian arrives in a hurry.

“Grand Duke, what have you been talking about? ”

“Well, technically, this civil war is not a human fight. In a word, it's like a chessboard. We are the objects of the chessboard, and the chessboard is a war with such profound significance. ”

“Yes?”

“It's a pain in the ass. Never mind. I'd rather not know about this. ”

“But you said you were also with Grand Duke Rufet? ”

“Yes.”

“But can we beat the Air Force? ”

I opened the scroll with a smile.

“We're not the only ones. There's no such thing as one celestial will. Hehehe.”

“Yes?”

“Anyway, believe me and follow me. We'll be the last to laugh. Both players are known, but our players are unknown. And what the hell am I supposed to say with my mouth, but our stuff is better. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

“Let's see what it says. ”

When I saw the scroll, I smiled pleasantly and headed for the fireplace.

As expected of my father, I was aware of the strange flow of atmosphere.

You have to notice.

The small air force was overcoming the heat of the enemy and leading this war to a state of honor.

Even though Katrina is on the Emperor's side. Moreover, the Air Force used a number of state-of-the-art weapons of unknown origin, and I am now stirring Gangnam.

You were unsure of the lack of information, but you knew the Empire was in danger.

“What letter did the Grand Duke send you? ”

I showed Birch the letter before I put it in the fireplace. It wasn't much of a secret to keep to yourself.

It wasn't that long, so Birkhoff reads it at once.

“Do you want to be a conqueror? Then be Emperor. Do you want to be emperor? Then abandon the Emperor's greed. No, Grand Duke. What is the meaning of this? ”

“That means you're aware that I'm going to beat the crap out of Duchess Rupert. ”

“How do you know that? ”

“I've been pushing Gangnam lately. And the North River is being pushed by Duke Rufet. Like this, two groups of profiteers, one from Gangnam, the other from Gangnam. What do you think happens next? You two want to play a little tough? Or do you want me to come back and take over the Empire? ”

“Of course it's the latter. ”

“Yes, it's very simple. That's why Duke Rupert's been so careful lately. Actually, Duke Rupert is not an idiot either. When I eat Gangnam, Duke Rufett and I will finally know we're fighting at the end. ”

Birch Brian nods.

“Oh, right. Then, if you want to be emperor, what is the point of giving up the emperor's greed? ”

“It's a cruel story. ”

“Yes?”

“There are several ways to devour a country, one for the conqueror and one for the emperor. However, the conqueror becomes the emperor after conquest, but the one who is the emperor's goal is to go through several stages before becoming the emperor. ”

“In what order? ”

“I have something to think about, and I want to establish the Scarecrow Emperor first. ”

Birch Brian must be blindfolded.

“Why?”

“Take one step and you'll be less shocked by this society. Even a Scarecrow, if he establishes an emperor worthy of his bloodline, his loyalty to the Empire cannot be severely repulsed. ”

“But aren't there some who rebel? ”

“Yes. That's when we kill them all. In the name of the Scarecrow Emperor. Others can't even fight back. It's ambiguous. It's legal, but I don't think so. What a blur. Hehehe. ”

Birch Brian blinks.

“And?”

“We must overthrow the Scarecrow Emperor and establish another Scarecrow Emperor. ”

“Then will the impatient come out? ”

“That's why we're rebuilding. Now it's your turn to die. Come out quickly. ”

“Phew. ”

“Then the scarecrow emperors who are rebuilding will notice and honor me. I want to live. And then I say no to the pole, but eventually I don't have to do this, and I get sloppy. It's shaped, right? And then there's the guys that pick it up again, and then they kill it again. ”

“Then?”

“Yes. I'm asking you to pick a few sticks just to be sure. This Yosrahim empire has been going on for centuries. Deep enough in the roots. If you try to pull it out at once, you won't be able to kill anyone. That's gonna be a big relief. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I shrugged.

“But I can kill less. Anyone loyal to the Empire doesn't need to be killed. ”

“If you're the Grand Duke, all you have to do is kill those who are loyal to the Emperor. ”

I am the Imperial Person ranked 9th in the Imperial Succession Sequence.

Even if I sit on the Emperor's throne by force, the Yosrahim Empire will not fall. I'm Yosrahim, too.

The only problem was that I was difficult to find anyone to sit with as the Scarecrow Emperor.

However, in order to kill those who are loyal to the Emperor, I need to have a higher heir rank than I am, and I need to establish a kinsman closer to my uncle's lineage as emperor, which is hard to find.

Of the eight above me, there is none who is powerless, greedy, and does not have to worry about being left behind.

‘What a mess. Yosrahim's blood is so dirty. No one can be relieved of what happened. ’

Then I heard a knock on the door. I took the letter in Brian's hand and burned it and put it in the fireplace.

Even though I was fine with the letter, I decided to get rid of it for the sake of my father.

“Who's there?”

“A customer has come to see you. ”

“Who is it?”

“You are the Princess of Kern Kingdom. ”

I wiped my face.

It was because I had a feeling about who it was.

There is only one Princess of Kern who will come for me. My fiancée.

“Just tell him to go. ”

Soon there was a commotion outside, and Princess Sierra came inside.

“Grand Duke, I've never seen you before. ”

I gnawed my lips with my teeth. I've seen a lot.

Anyway, Katrina and Princess Ignes can't stand it. I should have said something to that woman when I was younger, but I've been so politely silent all this time.

“Welcome. Princess.”

“Yes?”

I shaken the smoke full of the office with my hands and approached Princess Sierra.

“Never mind. What kind of tricks did you come here with? Here's a hostile camp.”

“I'm the Grand Duke's fiancée. ”

I crumpled my face. She's always bringing it up now.

“On whose behalf? Did you hear that? I broke off the engagement. ”

“Marriage promised between the two families. ”

“Don't worry. I'm the one who gave it up. It has nothing to do with the family. No, I'm an enemy of the family now. ”

Princess Sierra narrows her eyes.

“Princess Ignes is right. ”

“What?”

“The Grand Duke didn't break up the engagement for me. ”

I snorted.

“At least Princess Ignes noticed. Is that why you're here? ”

“No. I would have come a long time ago. ”

“Then?”

“The Catherine is gone. ”

“Hey, report Mia to the morgue. Why did you come all the way out here to get Mia? ”

Princess Ignes takes a look at Birch Brian.

“I can't talk here. ”

“Then just go. I've got a lot of work to do. I'm busy.”

“I left you a letter before Katrina left. ”

“Why? Did you write a will? ”

“Sort of. Princess Ignes says you're the only one who can save Catherine. I just came to tell you that. ”

I close my eyes and sweep my face away.

I can feel the atmosphere.

Eventually, I knew this day would come, but today was the day.

Apparently Nemisona and Itheria can no longer stand Katrina's refusal and are planning things.

‘Dammit, this woman. Yeah, let's make it small. This is what happens when you step out of line. ’
