Leaning against the sofa opposite us, the boldly smiling Royce-sama looked a little bit like a villain.
“Yes, you have a point. Reclaiming the town will be convenient… However, the problem is what comes after.”
“Father and uncle are also really enthusiastic after all.”
Royce-sama smiled bitterly.
I don’t think that the relationship between His Majesty and Royce-sama is very risky.
But I wonder if His Majesty will become peevish about Royce-sama alone taking all of the best achievements. And while I’m at it, His Highness the Royal Prince as well.
This isn’t the time for internal disputes, but it seems that we need to pay attention to them as well.
It’s nothing but troublesome stuff, isn’t it? I feel sorry for Royce-sama to be stuck between these two things.
-munch munch-
Royce-sama and Achille continued their conversation further.
“There have always been people dissatisfied with the monarchy to begin with but… it feels like recently, the number of extremists has gone up all at once, huh…”
“It is a little unnatural, isn’t it.”
Having not seen how the extremist situation is going, I’m finding it hard to say anything though…
“If they used the magic that was cast on you Achille, they might be able to create some instant soldiers, huh.”
“…That would be the worst, wouldn’t it? In that case, would that mean that we have no choice but to attack people who are only guilty of being manipulated by forbidden arts?”
I don’t know how many people have been affected by forbidden arts, but it seems like it would be really really difficult if I had to dispel them all.
Even though I ended up in that state when it was just Claire.
Even if I try my best to save magic power, I would probably reach my limit at ten people. After that it seems like I’d lose consciousness from the mana exhaustion.
And moreover, if there are huge numbers of extremists, it would probably be difficult just to determine if there was forbidden magic cast, huh?
“Royce-sama, is it okay if I help out with the town reclamation?”
Still being hugged by Achille, I turned to Royce-sama.
“Hmm. I need your power, Camille.”
“Your Highness.”
Achille butt into our conversation. The arms around me squeezed tighter.
“Saying that so suddenly, did you intend on having Camille head to the frontlines from the beginning?”
“Mmn, she’s an essential war asset after all. If I send her out from the beginning, the number of victims will decrease.”
“Even though her mana control is still unstable? And moreover, she isn’t used to fighting humans.”
“Even so, she’s more capable than the other magicians or soldiers. Even I wouldn’t want to use her if possible, you know.”
Huh? Things seem a little stormy…
