To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

"I believe that Schneizel's disciple is going to be Cress's bodyguard, right? I believe that is what you two were talking about."

　Edmond's words greatly stimulated the people on the stage.

　The king and Schneizel laughed in amazement, Crecencia's eyes widened as if she knew what I was talking about, and Henry, the old man, turned hostile toward me.

"What made you think that?"

'I understand from the memory of the boy you captured the other day that a mysterious organization is targeting Cress."

'Did you know that?"

"Yes, I did. I have several sources of information. And according to them, the people who are after Cress were also involved in the recent underworld turmoil".

　Edmond's gentle gaze pierced Henry. He is gentle, yet has a coldness about him.

He is a man who has been in charge of the security of Cress," he says. Well, I can think of many other reasons..."

Various other reasons that I can think of.

That is surely Henry's own issue, which has been making him angry, upset, and blue in the face for some time now.

　This man is clearly too incompetent to be a nobleman who follows royalty.

　He is an incompetent man who is superior only in his family background.

　Even now, when his abilities are questioned in this way, he just sits there with his mouth agape.

　Since he is distrusted by the royal family, isn't there anything he can do, such as proposing a security system that can assure at least a minimum of safety?

"Heh, Your Majesty, is that sincere?"

---And then, he even disregarded Edmond's question and directly asked the king, which is an outrageous behavior.

　This is a distortion of what it means to be a royal escort.

Because such an incompetent person was by Cresencia's side, he gave the Ulgor evil cult an opening to take advantage of her in the game's plot line .

That how is it

　Yeah. Change the bodyguards as soon as possible. That way, Crescencia's safety would be slightly improved.

As I watched the situation with this in mind, the king smiled faintly at Edmond.

, "My son. Your hypothesis was mostly correct."

'Then I am glad. No, well, I didn't think it was irrelevant when I invited Schneizel's disciple to come here, so I had a hint from the beginning."

"I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out on your own. It's all about thinking for yourself and coming up with answers.'

"That's what you always say, isn't it, Father?'

"That's right. I always tell people what is important.　Now, Henry."

　The king, having finished his conversation with Edmond, then turned to Henry.

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

I will answer your earlier question. I have indeed decided to change my daughter's guards".

"Why, my Lord, I have taken every possible precaution on my part..."

'I say it is not enough. You know, I'm not saying that we shouldn't use royalty to fight factions. I am willing to accept that we may become puppets, even if it makes the country strong. But if we are going to die, that is a different story".

"Well, that will never happen."

"How can you be sure? You think you can protect Crescencia from being targeted by an organization that has an enemy that even Schneizel and Haiyan have failed to defeat? How will you take responsibility if you let her die?"

"That's why I'm giving Highness the brawn you usually give me..."

 

'That's fine for now, when Crescencia is in the royal castle But what about four years from now? When she goes to the Royal Military Academy of Arcadia, she won't have an adult to keep an eye on her. Your grandson, who was supposed to be attached to you at that time, was, ah, that's right. He didn't qualify for the last martial arts competition, did he?"

"------"

Somehow, I think I understand the situation.

I wonder if the king was waiting for an opportunity to take Henry away from Crescencia.

Perhaps Henry is a great noble, and depending on the size of his family, even royalty cannot be impervious to him.

That is why, instead of forcibly pulling him off, he changed his guard only because there was a fault on Henry's part, and he had no choice but to do so.

If Henry is kept away from Crescencia in this way, then he will be gradually removed from the power of the royal family.

Norwin there, as you know, is a warrior who is skilled with a spear and magic. He is only six years old, but he has already mastered some of the magic that Almir is using. Can you think of anyone better qualified to guard a girl of his age who attends the school?"

"I am sorry, ------. I do not have such a man under me'.

"Isn't that right? Therefore, after four years, Norwin von Endenberg will be Crescencia's bodyguard. Any further futile opposition would be considered hostile to me and Schneizel, would it not?

"No, no, I also think it's for the best."

"Then it is officially decided. Norwin, take care of my daughter."

"------ I will take care of her."

　I was both pleased and amused that i was only six years old, and yet was so nonchalantly mixing into adult conversation.

　Well, I guess that's how special they think of me. It's a natural response considering what I've done so far.

　But still, I've finally made it this far.

　I'm going to be Crescencia's bodyguard for 4 years later .

　If I'm going to school, I'm going to meet the main characters, and I'm finally going to step into the ga,e's plot line .

　I'll have to do my best.

　I made up my mind to do so and looked at Cresencia.

　I wondered if she was looking at me too, and our eyes met. And for some reason, she turned her face away from me with all her might.

　---I'm not sure if I can be an escort with this kind of avoidance.

️.

　At that time, in front of the main gate of the castle.

"You guys, stop right there! If you do not stop, I will use my magic!"

　A magician, who was part of the guarded area, raised his voice.

　He looked ahead and saw a group of suspicious-looking people walking leisurely toward him. They were carrying weapons or wearing sorcerer's robes, and for some reason they were all wearing white masks.

　And the man leading them was wearing a black mask.

"Did you not hear me! Stop right there, drop the weapons , and raise your hands!"

　The magician shouting his advice had a hint of impatience in his voice.

　That is as it should be.

　The fact that someone who is clearly not a straight shooter is here is, by definition, absolutely impossible.

　The royal castle is located in the center of the noble area , and there are many layers of security guards consisting of knights and magicians.

　If they were unaware of this, or if they had forced their way through it, the other party would have to be a very powerful person.

'I warned you!"

The moment the head of the suspicious group steps over the prescribed defense line, the magicians launch a countless number of magic spells.

　They are in charge of guarding the royal castle, and all of them are skilled. The magic deployed was more than enough to annihilate the enemy.

　No matter how strong they were, there was nothing they could do in the face of this overwhelming firepower.

　And yet

"Careful chanting and magic spells. Ha-ha-ha. Everything is exactly as I thought it would be, and there's no improvement at all."

　The black masked man walking in the lead smiled behind his maskh
