Chapter 211

Proofreader: somnium

Cadriol's army moved like a lightning bolt.

The key was to secure the King and Grand Duke Roygar before the Royal Guard and the Krates Empire army noticed.

'It's possible.'

Inside the Palace were only the royal guards and the guards of Grand Duke Roygar.

The closest is the Royal Guard troops.

However, after the death of the Queen, the Royal Guard had a completely disorganized command system.

Originally, their employer and object of allegiance was the Queen.

There were instructions from the Queen to listen to the King's orders when she was not available.

However, the King was never involved in the formation of the Royal Guards, from training and discipline to establishment. The name was the Royal Guard, but they had no relationship with the King at all.

After the Queen's death, the King ended the national mourning too soon. He spoke outwardly of sorrow, but few believed that he was genuinely grieving.

Perhaps the story of remarriage would come out again before a year had passed.

The members of the Royal Guard who loved the Queen could not help but feel sad about it.

Even their salary was delayed as Cadriol attacked the Duchy of Riagan. This was because the Royal Guard's finances were being maintained by the Queen's salt business.

Naturally, the Royal Guards only sat in the barracks. It was not disbanded because there was no other suitable place to go, and their tribute to the Queen was not finished yet.

If the Royal Guard does not waste time defending the King and Grand Duke Roygar, it is a success.

It was because the work would all be finished before the Krates Empire army at the port reached here.

Cadriol has been drawing plans in his head since returning to the past.

No, he thought before going to sleep every day since he was betrayed by his father and imprisoned.

What should he do so that he can take control of the Royal Palace at once? How can he turn it over with minimal damage? What should he do to prevent a civil war and maintain his royal mandate in the future?

And the day has come when it will really work.

'If it's someone else's job, it's really easy.'

He considered it like Artizea cutting off her ankles from Miraila and Lawrence who held her.

If she wants to live, she has to let go of her lingering feelings for the two.

However, he couldn't let go of his regrets, so his neck fell.

At that time, the relationship between father and son had already ended. And this time, the father tried to make the same choice.

The gunfire didn't last long.

The captain of the Royal Guard was already under Cadriol's payroll. The King and Grand Duke Roygar's guards resisted, but the numbers themselves were not many.

Cadriol's men took control of every major location. The nobles were all gathered in the ballroom, so all they had to do was close it down.

Soldiers roamed the palace to search for the nobles who had escaped from several ballrooms. Those who do not attend will also be house arrested within tonight.

“What about the Royal Guard?”

Hearing that they had seized the control of the King and Grand Duke Roygar, Cadriol asked as he headed there.

“The suppression is over. The captain surrendered. There were only three casualties on both sides.”

“They must have had no intention of fighting at all.”

“They seem to understand that it is already too late. Without their Queen, they would have had no reason to risk their life to resist.”

Cadriol clicked his tongue.

“What about the Krates Empire army?”

“A battle broke out in the harbor.”

“Raise the bridges and defend thoroughly. It's hard when it expands. In two hours, I'll take Grand Duke Roygar's answer.”

“Yes.”

The commander who reported politely responded and ran outside.

“What's of the Iantz?”

“We are still searching. Sorry.”

“You must have missed it. It's fine. They'll be back as soon as the situation is over.”

Cadriol first visited the residence of Grand Duchess Roygar.

It wasn't Garnet that came to meet him, but the pale blue Viscountess Weave.

The maids and the ladies-in-waiting stood in a determined manner in front of the bedroom door.

Cadriol ordered his men to lay down their weapons and retreat.

Garnet's attendants had already been investigated. There would be no resistance.

They never knew how to wield a weapon. In fact, modesty was the virtue of noble women in the East and the Central regions.

However, unlike the Central, which is influenced by the northern and southern parts, the conservative East noble families still use the word tomboy frequently.

“Don't worry, I will never do any harm to Grand Duchess Roygar.”

“Oh, do you think you'll be safe after committing such an inhumane thing?”

Viscountess Weave said with strength on her neck.

Cadriol smiled.

“Please tell Grand Duke Roygar not to be alarmed, as there will be no danger in a single hair.”

Viscountess Weave stared at Cadriol, her lips tightened.

Cadriol left Garnet alone and went to see Grand Duke Roygar and King Eimmel.

The two moved from Garnet's parlor to the King's living room. It was to have a more comfortable drinking party.

When he opened the door to the living room, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of alcohol hit him. The bodies of the guards were now being carried away.

The blood that had pooled on the marble floor was still red and sticky. Broken wine bottles were scattered on the floor.

The two men looked pale even though their faces were red from drunkenness. King Eimmel had lost his composure.

“You, what are you doing!”

King Eimmel, foamed in his mouth, shouted.

Cadriol scratched his ear with his little finger. He looked like he was playing a joke.

“Cadriol!”

“Grand Duke Roygar.”

Cadriol ignored King Eimmel and looked at Grand Duke Roygar with a kind face.

“I'm sorry to get you involved in this.”

“What is all this?”

Grand Duke Roygar looked at him with a hardened face. Cadriol smiled.

The reason he is able to maintain his dignity unlike King Eimmel is probably because he is convinced that Cadriol can never harm him.

And it was also true.

A sullen temperament and playfulness erupted from within, but Cadriol resisted it. And he said with a serious face.

“It is a shame for the country as well as a shame for the family, so I am sorry to tell the Grand Duke. But it's not something that has nothing to do with the Empire.”

Cadriol placed a hand on one of his chest and bowed his head politely.

“Even though Emperor Gregor made it strictly forbidden, Father made such a riot by taking a part in the distribution of Riagan salt. I am sorry. If I had known in advance, I would have informed His Majesty the Emperor first and followed the proper procedure.”

Grand Duke Roygar realized he was cornered.

If everything went according to plan, before dawn tomorrow, he was going to summon the Imperial Army and attack Cadriol together with the Royal Guard.

But it was counterattacked. Even if Cadriol was pointed out as the assassin of the Queen while being overturned by force, it was difficult to expect the effect.

It's going to be a war. The Emperor will avoid it. From the beginning, Queen Eimmel's affair was nothing to the Imperial Capital from the beginning.

Moreover, Cadriol must have already sent news to the Emperor about the coarse salt business.

He sends evidence of the salt business, and his scapegoat, King Eimmel, as the person involved. In addition to that, if the adequate compensation was paid, the Emperor will manage to save face and achieve benefits that the Emperor had hoped for.

Including the fact that Grand Duke Roygar made a mistake instead of an achievement.

“Grand Duke, please return to your residence and rest. I'll see you again tomorrow morning when things get better and greet you.”

Grand Duke Roygar clenched his fist. Then he turned his gaze away from the King and quietly left the room.

King Eimmel looked at Cadriol with an angry expression on his face. He understood what he was going to do now.

“Don't you think the crown you took after killing your father wouldn't break your neck?”

“I think about it sometimes. Why is it a greater sin to kill the father than to kill the son?”

Cadriol lightly kicked the shard of glass caught on the tip of his feet.

“This, this brat…… !”

“Don't worry. I'm not going to assassinate or dethrone Father. Well, I can't guarantee what the greedy Emperor Krates will ask for.”

“I know nothing about the business!”

“Father must know at least one thing.”

Cadriol said with a vain smile.

“At least you should have known why the Queen was afraid of me.”

“How could I ever imagine that my child would be such an arrogant bastard! I should have followed her will long ago!”

King Eimmel exclaimed. Cadriol's men were furious.

“Don't be rude, Your Majesty.”

“Why did you hold up until now?”

“Who was it that brought in foreign powers to kill His Highness the Prince!”

The simultaneous shouts were interrupted by Cadriol's hand gestures.

“Don't say anything reckless.”

Cadriol said in a low voice. The anger that had accumulated inside him was not something that could be said through others' mouths.

King Eimmel was a little frightened and lowered his voice.

“What are you going to do? Grand Duke Roygar was the one who would become Emperor of Krates. Will you really go to war with the Empire?”

“Don't worry. Grand Duke Roygar will never become emperor. I don't need to regret that I was stupid later on. Even in the Iantz Kingdom, it is unpredictable now.”

Cadriol said so and beckoned to his men.

Two of Cadriol's aides moved and crossed arms at the King's sides.

“Take him to the room I have prepared. The place must be cleared.”

That didn't mean removing the corpse, it meant removing the king's attendants and turning all the furniture over to find out all the secrets in the room.

The king was dragged out and cried out curse words.

Cadriol looked down at the bloodstains on the floor for a moment, then said,

“Give them a respectful funeral. They are loyal people.”

“Yes.”

The atmosphere was never bright.

Albert, an international student from Iantz, politely bowed his head and asked.

“How did you know that Prince Cadriol would endure this far?”

“It's strange to have such a question.”

Artizea asked back, looking into the ripples inside the teacup.

“Why did he persevere, when he knew how to get ahead?”

“…… It was a stupid question. Sorry.”

Albert bowed his head.

“Compared to you, it is clear why Prince Cadriol was unable to advance first. As soon as the Queen dies, then he finds out about the salt business and if he blames the King for the cause, the cause is small. He will eventually be caught up in accusations that the son attacked the father.”

Therefore, Cadriol expanded his situation. So that even the villagers of the fishing villages in the South of the Empire know that Prince Eimmel has waged a war to find the Queen's assassin.

So they will know that King Eimmel has resigned as a result of that war.

In addition, he attacked the South and took enough profit to take advantage of it.

He swept large merchants and traditional families once, and even robbed the supply depots of the Imperial Army.

Resources are also resources, but merchants and nobles in the South cannot form a cartel. Solidifying the ruling system like the East would be impossible for the next half a century.

'He must have thought that far, if it was Prince Cadriol.'
