The Bastard of the Famous Magic Family Became the Prince of the Enemy Country

“How can you be so sure that the inside of the 4 generations, the representatives of each alliance, is tight?”

“… … !”

The eyes of the idol as well as the left image were wide open.

I could see that the smoke the two of them were doing almost broke at my question.

Idol quickly put his emotions on hold and asked in a calm tone.

“Are you saying my premise is wrong?”

“I don’t know.”

“… … yes?”

“How can I say with certainty?”

Of course I know his premise is wrong.

I couldn’t say it straight away.

The 2nd prince, who was a prodigal not too long ago, knows information that even the prime ministers of the kingdom have not been able to properly access?

It was very unnatural.

“But it is not difficult to conjecture that the premise is wrong.”

“Assuming… … ?”

“There are surprisingly few places that are perfectly united internally. Isn’t it like that just by looking at the palace right now?”

My idol, Bettel Robrick, couldn’t answer my question with a smile.

Well, it’s a question that’s too burdensome to answer in front of the Queen.

“Of course, I didn’t just come up with this idea. If you look at the history and flow of the four generations, you can roughly infer it.”

“… … Can you give me an example?”

“Have you heard of Nicola Ronberg? A bastard, a man who was called the greatest genius in family history.”

[It was a handful, but you wouldn’t be the best.]

‘I deserved to be called the best at the time I mastered transcendence magic.’

[…] … .]

Big hum.

After covering up the silent protest with a clearing of his throat, he continued.

“It is said that Nicola died in a fight with the other brothers. Do you really think that is true?”

“… … .”

Vettel did not answer.

He is the highest official in the post of chancellor, but since he is a bureaucrat, he is far from fighting.

That’s why I can’t measure the skill of a trained mage.

At least he knew that simply dying in a fight wasn’t a literal fact.

“It could have been poisoned, or it could have fallen into a trap. Or it could be alive and not dead.”

In short, what I meant to say was that these things were, after all, one-sided information from the Ronberg family.

It also meant that the record and remarks of the winner could not be trusted straight away.

“What I want to say is, when questions are raised about these records, the information is so sparse that there is nothing to refute.”

The kingdom’s lack of information was not completely incompetent and incomprehensible.

In addition to being from another continent, they were not on good terms with the 4 families.

Even within the kingdom, agents with espionage purposes were trained and dispatched, but each time they failed.

‘Some of the four major families are morbidly concerned about security.’

Even the Ronberg family hadn’t easily found out about other great families.

So, what a kingdom beyond the sea would be.

“Then what do you think we should do next?”

It was the queen who intervened.

In response to her question, the two prime ministers took a posture of listening without getting involved in the conversation like a knife.

I was a little taken aback, too, but I didn’t show it.

“I think it is necessary to raise awareness by spreading the news of the war. also… … .”

“also?”

“I think we should predict how the war will unfold and discuss how to move accordingly.”

“To do so, we need information about the four generations, so it means the order is wrong.”

“Yes, Mama. However, I think it is absurd to say that no answer can be given for this reason.”

The queen just looked at her and made a gesture as if to continue talking.

“So it’s uncertain, but I think it’s necessary to guess the status of the current four generations.”

“It sounds to me like you are saying you can do it.”

After confirming with a slight smile, I opened my mouth.

“Contrary to the idol’s premise, I think the four generations have problems.”

“What is the basis?”

“The basis is that only two families participated in the war. If we were aiming for the North, would there have been any reason to leave?”

I was saying it as an analogy, but in fact I was half convinced.

I don’t know the details, but I knew the general atmosphere and situation of the four generations.

Other than that, he said something that might be questionable.

The points that can be counted as discord among the four families, and the structure of the union cannot be as strong as it is.

Of course, I only said things that can be inferred from historical knowledge or geographical issues revealed on the outside.

Upon hearing my story, the faces of the two prime ministers were full of surprise and seriousness.

‘Lord Cruz has really changed.’

As he guessed, today, this spot was created to observe the two princes.

Talking about the wrong premise and having a war of words.

All of them were staged and acted by two prime ministers under the orders of the queen.

I couldn’t help but be surprised at the insight that exceeded my expectations.

‘I never thought you’d put in your mouth what you inferred from the instructor… … .’

Most of what he said about the Feyer continent was an analogy made by the instructor, the department in charge of diplomacy.

I was able to make such a quick decision because I usually assumed this situation and analyzed it in advance… … .

‘How did you manage the degradation of Cruz?’

Bury the admiration blooming in your heart.

The two prime ministers silently watched the conversation between the queen and the two princes.

“Crus.”

“Yes, Mama.”

“Assuming you care more about intelligence, which method do you think is better?”

“… … If it were me, I wouldn’t be aiming for the 4th family, I would be aiming for the area that suffers the most damage from the 4th family.”

“Hoo.”

For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the queen who had been asking and staring at her as if testing it all along.

I didn’t go into any more detail than this, but he must have understood my intentions right away.

‘If I suffer a lot, I have no choice but to know better, and my mouth will be lighter.’

Of course, the big families know this, so they shut down their mouths and attach surveillance.

At least, it was more likely than breaking through the security of the four families head-on.

“I will ask you one last time. Assuming the North is pushed back in the war, how do you think it should move?”

“I think we need to increase military power and armaments, and go further, think of support for the North.”

Thinking of the variable called the war on the Feyer continent and the direction to move afterwards.

He calmly told the truth.

“Then it will be the kingdom.”

* * *

That day, after hearing my opinion, the Queen immediately ended the meeting.

Since then, the royal palace has been busy discussing how to deal with the war in Feyer and what changes to make.

I was never called to that meeting.

‘I guess he didn’t intend to call me from the beginning.’

After the previous tryst, the queen’s intentions began to show little by little.

She wanted other princes besides Morgan to grow up.

1 It may not be that he has a firm mindset that he will not be able to hand over the throne to the prince even if he dies.

I thought that there was something uncomfortable about selecting him as the successor.

‘I don’t know the exact intentions, but it’s definitely a good opportunity for me.’

After numerous meetings, the Royal Palace announced several policies.

There was a lot of content, but if I had to pick out the important parts, they were all related to national defense.

There was also content related to Hasla Academy.

‘Did they adjust internal personnel, or did they tweak the training process?’

For one reason or another, they announced that they would not be accepting new students for a while.

As a result, he had no choice but to change his plan to enter Hasla.

‘I’d rather go, because if things go like this, it’s better not to go.’

The reason I wanted to go to Hasla was because I decided that it would help me grow by strengthening my position.

However, in the present war, it was not necessary to do so.

‘It’s better to show results on the spot.’

The biggest obstacle in the competition for crown prince was the 1st Prince Morgan.

This is because it has a huge base of support.

Conversely, it meant that there was not much achievement through performance.

‘On the contrary, it would be better for me to appeal this way.’

In fact, this one suited my temper better.

Training in a rather tight environment is more helpful for growth.

Needless to say, it was more comfortable to show the results.

“Honestly, I feel a little relieved.”

It was Alan’s horse riding on Mark.

Currently, I was on my way to Rosstein’s home with Alan.

It was to talk with the Duke of Leon about the situation in which the war broke out on the Feyer continent.

“I thought it was fortunate that I had time to prepare my mind before entering the school.”

“When did you say you decided not to smoke anymore?”

“The mind is unchanging. Still, wouldn’t this grace period be okay?”

“It’s a grace period… … .”

We arrived at the Duke’s house with Alan’s nonsense aside.

It’s not fancy, but it’s still a rather grand and dignified building.

If there was a difference from before, it was that the Duke of Leon personally met and greeted her.

“It’s an earlier reunion than expected, my lord.”

“I mean.”

I was greeted with a warm welcome and entered the building.

Then, I headed to the Duke’s office with Alan.

I sat down, drank the tea I was served, and went straight to the point.

“Duke, what do you think of the war that took place on the continent of Feyer?”

“It is an issue that cannot be ignored. Either way, the kingdom must always keep an eye on the Feyer Continent.”

“I see this as an opportunity.”

The peacock’s eyes shone.

I didn’t say it right away, but it must be because I was thinking the same thing.

“I think so too. Thanks to that, many changes were predicted around the palace.”

Most of the new policies that the kingdom came up with this time were aimed at enhancing national defense.

This was inevitably a work to uncover problems or insufficiencies within the kingdom.

“I think this trend will change the current problems the Rothstein family is facing.”

Currently, the Rothstein family is being checked by the two ducal families.

It was a difficult situation to solve on my own.

At this time, it was said that there is a possibility that changes due to policy will lead to a breakthrough.

“Of course, we have yet to decide how we will use the current situation.”

It was only natural that no concrete changes had taken place yet.

“Actually, I got a call from Mama a while ago.”

It was a somewhat sudden statement, but the duke slightly leaned forward.

It was an action that came about because I was well aware of the value of information obtained in this situation.

“To sum it up without this or that situation, it was a place to express my opinions and thoughts.”

“That means… … .”

“Fortunately, Mama seems to have taken my opinion well.”

The duke leaned more blatantly.

His expression was still serious, but he couldn’t hide the emotions oozing out of his body.

Alan, who was silently sipping tea by the side, stared at this with a surprised look.

It was the first time my father had ever seen someone like this.

“By the way, is the Duke interested in crossing the sea?”

Hearing the question, the Duke’s eyes deepened considerably.
