Chapter 167

Proofreader: ChupaChupa

“I’m sorry. I only know “Merrill and the Door of Palace1″ because I died before the sequel appeared.”

“What do you say -! That is to say, you don’t know what will happen to Central Country in the future!?”

“Did something happen?”

“In this special period, you still go shopping in the market. There should be a limit to being too leisurely especially when Central Country and North Country may enter a full-scale war!”

“…Why does it develop like that!? Is this chapter about Merrill becoming the queen with a happy ending?”

“Yeah, that’s right. But there is a “big bomb” in it.”

Vika, looking around, whispered and continued to speak.

“The King and the Prince died together. The Earl Hakusu’s family on the border was turbulent due to the death of the excellent The Earl of the North and the instigation of Britney’s execution. The tentative lord was a returning count of the idiot. The domestic aristocrats also split into two halves because of the lack of harmony, and there was no sign of unity.”

Tentative…that was, North Country had already begun to act before the Earl Hakusu’s family was defeated and the new lord was greeted.

(And the so-called returning count might be the stupid father? )

The King and the Prince were not there, Angela was confined to the monastery, and there was an unreliable novice queen.

Maybe it was because the lord of the Earl Hakusu’s territory had no time to take over.

All in all, if the returning count who had nothing to do with a series of incidents sat in this position, they thought they could operate as usual in the territory. But they didn’t expect that it would be that kind of stupid thing in that body.

Then, the aristocrats split into two factions and turned against each other. I thought they were divided into the party of Merrill and the party of Angela.

“After my memory came back, although I tried my best to prevent the war, I was caught and expelled by my family.”

“…Vika, are you the Princess of North Country whose whereabouts was unclear after her invasion of Earl Hakusu’s territory?”

Her dark eyes reminded me of familiar people. The reason why the brown hair shined with faint brilliance was perhaps because it was to hide its own silver hair.

“So I just said that. I did something bad for you before. My past memories came back before the North Country used Mirarudo to attack the Earl Hakusu’s territory. Before that, I was an ambitious self-willed and cruel princess, aiming at the throne of the next king.”

In other words, the main criminal who planned the riots was Vika before her memory came back.

“Because the plan is already running, we can’t end the war… So, in order not to expand the disaster, I let the North Country fleet go to the raging place and hit the rocks.”

“So, the North Country army is acting very strangely…”

“Yes, there is a standby order for the army that attacks the Earl Hakusu’s territory. I have done a lot of things that I can do, although there are still many things that are too late to be done.”

“Thanks for doing that… Although it’s a bit strange, the Earl of the North – Ryuze onii-sama is safe and there is the lowest level of victimization. But if you do that, aren’t you in a difficult situation in North Country? Why do you have to do this to save Earl Hakusu’s territory?”

Doing such a thing should not be good for Vika, the Princess of North Country.

Vika, who seemed a bit confused, answered the question.

“In fact, I also want to prevent the expansion of the war, but the most important thing is for my own safety. If this continues, North Country will sooner or later die. Then in the process, although I have mastered the power once, I will be killed by the rebellion of my subordinates. The North Country is now at its limit.”

“Actually……!”

“I stopped the aggression against Earl Hakusu’s territory, of course I was held accountable. Although many things have been smeared, I was caught by my own family. So I was expelled from North Country and handed over to Central Country.”

However, the whereabouts of the princess was unknown on the way.

“Are you just fleeing out and coming to the Capital in Central Country?”

“No. I don’t know where the person came from and why he released the assassin. I just fled by his help and lurk here. It is very accidental and pleasing to see you.”

“Well, if you permit, can you tell me the contents of “Merrill and the Door of Palace2″? And, if I can, I want to protect you in my home…”

However, Vika didn’t seem to hear me talking. She looked  and seemed very flustered.

“Oops…! It’s the subordinate of that guy!”

As soon as she slipped her mouth, she quickly ran to the alleys of the market.

“Eh-!? Wait! Wait…”

I was eager to chase Vika, but as I turned, I ran into a pedestrian.

“Ah, sorry.”

Holding two big bags, my body couldn’t move. When I wanted to find Vika again, she had disappeared from the crowd.

“I lost her, it’s too bad.”

It was very difficult to reunite in the Capital. Especially the princess who was originally deported by North Country seemed to be still lurking.

(I still have a lot of questions I want to ask her.)

Important clues about the future, like the storm, had passed.
