Regardless, as long as Tristina exists, we can force senior minister Darius's downfall. Once he is gone, the rest will somehow fall in place."
"Is senior minister Darius such a powerful person?"
"Ah, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the current king only became king because of Darius."
Is that so.
I wonder if he was the kind that was good at collecting money and laying the groundwork like ***sawa.
"If we fail to cause his ruin...you will kill him."
"Eh, I am to kill him?"
"Yes. With your powerful fate, killing him should be easy."
It seemed that whether or not you are able to kill your opponent was decided by the strength of your fate.
Ah right, wasn't this also Human God's argument on whether or not I could kill Orsted?
"...Understood."
Though there was some resistance towards killing people.
But if it was related to protecting my family, I will try my best.
The opponent was an evil minister.
Then it was fine.
If the opponent was scum, he couldn't be regarded as a human.
"But if I followed the story correctly, wasn't there also the faction of the second prince? Is it fine to leave him alone?"
"The second prince Halfaus. A path that would lead him to become king does not exist. If he was not a possible candidate to become king, there were few who truly thought of him becoming king."
"However nothing is certain this time, even if the chance was low, he may become king."
The second prince. Halfaus was the name.
I neither knew his face or personality, but if he was considered as a candidate, he should be excellent.
We don't know what could happen.
"There is no problem. If we happen to fail, we will succeed next time."
"Next time? Is it about the next move?"
"A-...Ah, that is right."
"What will become of Ariel?"
"She will die."
Having been alive for 2000[24] years, I wonder if one or two failures are tolerable.
After all in a long, thought-out plan, not everything can be successful.
So for a strategic move in a 100 years' time, it would be fine even if one or two things were missing.
But still.
"Let us stop here, saying such momentary things will only make Human God snicker."
Being told so, Orsted had a furious look.
It was a scary face.
But I still continued.
"It is possible that afterwards the failures will continue. As a result, the final conflict might be influenced."
While I agreed that it was fine as long as you win in the end one way or another, if Ariel were to die, there existed the possibility that Sylphy will be involved.
I also promised Ghyslaine to introduce her to Ariel.
The followers' misfortune was my misfortune.
I did not wish for misfortune.
"Let us take care of each and every one. To win every single challenge with the utmost caution."
"...That goes without saying."
Orsted firmly nodded.
"Anyway, the first objective is to make Ariel queen. Orsted-sama will give instruction and I will be the one moving...so to say."
"That is right."
So this was the feeling of being backed by someone.
The feeling of being backed by Orsted's Dragon God association.
But revealing this was a little troublesome.
"Let us also make plans on how to deal with the second Prince Halfaus."
"Very well. Regarding him, leave it to me. I will cause the downfall of the major nobles that follow him. Although he did not have the desire to become king, that will be enough to weaken his will to fight."
From his tone, I noticed something.
It may not matter who became king from Orsted's view.
Even if Ariel died and Halfaus became king.
In that case, it would be fine to insinuate myself into his faction.
"The start of the operation will surely be soon."
"In January, the information that the king fell ill will arrive."
"Until then?"
"Until then, complete your preparations."
With Orsted's words, the objective for the time being was decided.
