My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 11. Candidate for the next emperor (完)

After the crown prince’s screams, the meeting room turned to thin ice.

It was a quiet but heavy silence.

It seemed like a definite provocation, but Seri’s face and hands were shaking slightly.

It seemed like it was still hard to face Chris. It seems to be consuming all of her mental strength just by maintaining her smile, and it becomes slightly distorted.

Since she was gaslighted by him for a long time, it seemed like it would take a long time to get over it.

While a battle of spirits is taking place between the royal families, the nobles cannot easily open their mouths as they notice.

It was then.

“Ah! Are you Prause?”

“…… ?”

I see a white-haired woman pointing at me.

Her voice was so loud it made her ears hurt.

Why is this woman here?

Baek Gwang-jo’s path.

After rising to the level of an S-class adventurer, she was a woman who became the leader of Baek Gwang-jo, a secret organization created by the emperor.

She

She pursues a short hair style for her activities, and as active as usual, she doesn’t care about the situation, so she doesn’t look at the situation at all.

In addition, there was a setting that her emotional inclination was strong, and when she went crazy, she ran into random accidents, and even within her white light group, if you called her, she would sigh.

Even so, it was because of her great strength that she was in the position of leader.

She has a great talent for ice attribute magic and is very good at her taijutsu, so no one can beat her in her white light stance.

“The bold person who kidnapped Princess Se-ri, right?”

“…… Who are you?”

I asked knowingly.

“I asked first. Answer me.”

Why did this woman come to this place and not Ter? Painful.

“Is Prause right or not?”

It spins round and round while pointing at me. I sighed.

“Right.”

“Okay. You got it right.”

Thoreau clenches her fist.

“So who are you?”

While saying that, he clung to me. Quietly whispering in my ear

“My name is Soro. I can’t tell you more than this. If I knew, I would have no choice but to kill you.”

Most high-ranking nobles should know about Baek Gwang-jo. It’s the emperor’s secret unit.

“Ah, but I can tell you that.”

“?”

“If His Majesty hadn’t given us an order, Prause would have had to fight the Black Swan. Lucky for you.”

‘Is that so? That’s a relief.’

“Who is the lucky one?”

I didn’t want to mess with it today, so I tried to give an answer that could be passed easily, but my mouth wouldn’t allow it.

“What?”

Her eyebrows twitch.

Perhaps my words may have offended Thoreau, and vicious flesh began to leak out. My muscles are tense and I feel like my body is stiff.

“Are you that strong? His Majesty the Emperor showed mercy. What is that conceit?”

‘No, I’m f*cking weak.’

“At least I will be stronger than you.”

Can’t you match my intentions at an important moment? Today I am not here to fight.

It seems like things will only get more complicated after all, but having said that, I had to be bluffing.

If you get pushed here, the perception that ‘no matter how much Praus’ is, it’s not good for Baek Gwang-jo’ could be established.

“You are interesting. Say it again.”

I thrust my face in with the momentum that my lips could touch. Faced with the naked hostility, he sighed.

“Ha, can you sigh?”

“I said I was stronger than you.”

He gave strength to his eyes.

[Activates the skill 「Living」.]

“!”

Soro’s pupils widened as he sensed that he was dying. He hurriedly rolls back and looks at me confusedly.

“What are you… …. Where does that power come from? What is that magic power?!”

I can hear the nobles behind her gasping. When breathing became imbalanced due to the pressure of living, it was mistaken that the air had become thin.

Damn it!

Ice thorns form in the air. It was about to blow at me right away. I got hold of my vengeance.

“Tell me now! What is that power?!”

What is power to someone who can’t even feel mana?

If I were really strong, would I be doing this?

“If you want to fight, I can do it anytime. But not today.”

I’m not the one who needs attention today, it’s the princess tax collector.

I relaxed my eyes.

Only then did the nobles let out a long breath. Some even sat down. They were people who did not develop any military power at all.

The other escort knights were breaking out in a cold sweat with heavy breathing as if they were exhausted from our fight.

“Both of you, calm down. We’re here for a meeting of nobles, not to show off our strength. If you continue to do so, I will leave you.”

A nobleman mediates between us. I didn’t mean to fight even if I didn’t say it.

“Prause… …. I think I understand a little bit why His Majesty the Emperor is watching closely.”

Spits meaningful words and snaps his fingers. Dozens of ice crystals created in the air crumble and disappear into powder.

“…… I’m interested.”

The color I was building just now goes somewhere and looks at me like a curious cat. I felt like I had an annoying lump.

“I am not interested.”

Because the only time Thoro is useful is in man-horse warfare.

I turned away from her and stood next to her tax collector. She whispered to her

“You ruined the mood for no reason.”

“No. Rather, I think it is better.”

She said, looking around at the people inside the conference room.

“What?”

“This is where all the nobles are gathered. The life that Praus showed earlier was enough to leave a strong impression on the nobles. And since you came as my escort knight, other nobles will notice that I am in my power.”

Se-Ri whispers to me and smiles. To be honest, her heart pounded a little at the laugh that was perfect for sniping at a man’s heart.

“Thanks to that, I succeeded in suppressing the initiative in a different way. Whoops.”

At the moment when the tumultuous atmosphere calmed down, Thoreau stood behind the prince.

It seemed that she had come as an escort for the prince. Perhaps it was for the emperor to plant someone who would report directly to him.

“What? Why is everyone feeling this way?”

Belatedly, the princes show up. The nobles first bowed and greeted the princes.

The crown prince examined the faces of the princes one by one and led the nobles.

“Now, stop and take a seat.”

Aristocrats are seated in front of the name tag placed on the table. The princes who arrived late also took their seats prepared in advance.

But the tax collector’s name was not there.

“What should I do, tax collector? There is no place for you to sit here.”

The words of the prince became the starting point, and the aristocrats, his power, began to take turns.

“mmm! Wouldn’t that be natural? A woman in an aristocratic meeting. Even His Majesty the Emperor would not approve of this.”

“Cancer! Sure!”

The aristocratic powers of Chris raise their voices exaggeratedly.

“How about enjoying a tea party with the wives of the princess, who obviously won’t be able to keep up with the trend of the times?”

I don’t even forget to be sarcastic.

“We are a little late. I’m sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Belatedly, the Grand Duke of Rexton appears. He gives a brief bow to Chris, who is seated at the table of honor, and he takes a seat next to the table of honor.

“It’s been a while, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

It was the same with Todia. Like the Grand Duke, he was seated right next to Chris.

Chris could see his eyebrows twitching at Todia’s appearance, but he didn’t show it because other nobles were there.

“Okay, let’s have a meeting of nobles—”

“What are you doing, princess tax collector?”

Aristocrats pay attention to Tori’s sudden remark.

Honorifics and honorifics.

When Duke Tori used honorific titles for tax collectors, there were whispers among the nobles.

The fact that the high-ranking duke gave her the honorific title to her princess is interpreted to mean that she is recognizing her as a candidate for the next emperor.

Gossip broke out among the nobles who grasped the meaning.

“Please don’t sit down.”

Tori notices.

This was something we had talked about beforehand. There will be no seats in the noble council, so we have to take a seat from one of the nobles.

It was not too difficult for her to take her place, as I had already given her an ‘opportunity’ to usurp her place of nobility.

Seri glances at me. I gently pushed her back from an angle where no one else could see.

“It’s okay. Go ahead.”

“Yes… !”

Seri confidently moves her steps. He stopped in front of the countess, next to the Marquis of Medis.

“I would like you to leave her seat. Count Hostess?”

The Count, who had been sarcastic to himself, opened his mouth several times. He didn’t seem to think that he would be singled out.

No matter how much she is an ostracized princess, the royal family is the royal family.

Her rank below the Marquis was for her a position she could not afford to take.

Of course, even so, few nobles would listen to a tax collector who had no power.

As far as she says.

“Woe, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

“I told you to get out of the way. Why are you looking for your brother? Ah~ Are you trying to tell your brother to move away instead of you? That’s not bad either. Tell.”

“No, that’s not it… Oh no.”

“What are you doing, tax collector?”

In the end, the crown prince steps out.

“Originally, women are not allowed to attend noble meetings. Stop doing nonsensical things right now and get out of here.”

“f*ck her brother. My older brother also speaks very harshly.”

After calmly replying, she exhaled a long breath, not knowing whether it was a deep breath or a sigh, then lowered her posture and put her hand on the table.

“Earl Hostis is a faction of the Grand Duke of Rexton, right?”

“… That, yes.”

A hostess calms down her trembling voice to answer an unexpected question.

“Then you must be clear about money and trade. Yes?”

“What do you mean?”

“What do you mean? If you are going to hit the back of the head, you have to hit the back of the other forces. What are you doing?”

“Back, back of the head?”

“Count Hostis, you embezzled thousands of gold from the Rexton Company over the years, right?”

“What, what?”

At the tax collector’s words, the nobles began to murmur. Hostess shouted, hiding her agitation.

“What are you talking about! Are you thinking of slandering me because you won’t move away?!”

“That will come out if you investigate. Isn’t that right, Grand Duke Rexton?”

From noble mtl dot com

Her hints that she gave her.

That was information only I knew who had played the game.

I carefully selected and informed her of the things that were just right to cause the division of her power.

If it’s money, embezzlement would be a punishment for Rexton, who is crazy.

“…… If it is real, the Hostess family will end as of today.”

“Oh no! It will never happen.”

“Grand Duke of Rexton, if you allow me to take Countess Hostice’s seat now, I think I can tell you about other irregularities. How would you like it?”

“… Can you take responsibility for your words, princess tax collector?”

“You can. Prause.”

She calls me. I took a slow step and stood next to her.

“Please.”

She taps me on the shoulder. I approached Count Hostess and whispered.

“The Mantra.”

[The skill [Mantra] Is activated.]

The hostess loses her mind. He loses life in his eyes and looks at something vaguely.

“It’s done. Princess tax collector.”

“Thank you.”

I took two steps back. Princess Se-Ri stands in front of the Count again.

“Count Hostice, how much money have you embezzled in these years?”

“3,821 Gold and 31 1kg gold bars.”

After answering Princess Seri’s question, the hostess weakly lowered her head, and the meeting room fell silent.

As if he had just woken up from a nap, he raised his head in a daze and felt an unusual atmosphere and looked around him.

“You bastard… …. Did you really embezzle it!”

Rexton shouted. The hostess, wincing in his rage, shook his head vigorously.

“Yes?! Oh no!”

“Didn’t I just say that you embezzled gold and bullion!”

“Ah… no! This is a trick!”

The move is correct. But what he said was the absolute truth.

He looks around like an unfair person, but no one can save him. Even the crown prince.

It was only natural that Rexton was a person that even the current crown prince had to pay attention to.

Rexton’s gaze briefly turned to me. They asked me what I had done, but I only shook my shoulders.

“…… Shut up right now and get up. Whether that is true or not, I will check after the meeting. If you are proud, there will be no problem even if you investigate corruption.”

Earl Hostis had no choice but to hand over his seat to Princess Se-ri after Rexton’s scolding.

Princess tax collector smiled as she watched him step back biting his lower lip.

“So please wake up nicely. Didn’t you just end up like this?”

“Princess Seri…… !”

He gritted his teeth. However, the tax collector ignored his words and stared at the crown prince.

“Now… Did you find my seat? So, can I still attend the meeting? Brother?”

“You Serena…… !”

All humans present were confused about the princess who suddenly changed. Even the Duke of Tory, who taught her, spoke her words.

I was the only one who wasn’t shaken.

It was because she knew better than anyone else that she had the tenacity to do anything to achieve her goal.

“Oh, and taking advantage of this place where all the nobles are present, let me say something.”

She cleared her throat a few times and then, as if declaring war on Chris, she faced him squarely and said.

“I will become emperor.”

As soon as the word “Emperor” Enters their ears, gasping sounds come from everywhere.

“In order to take away the right of succession from Brother Chris, I plan to make an effort starting today to get your Majesty’s eyes.”

“Are you serious, Seri!!”

The prince was indignant. He gets up from his seat and gasps for his breath. She said, looking at him and standing up leisurely.

“I am sincere, brother. The emperor will be me.”

With this, the first button to the happy ending was inserted.
