"Hahaha!"
Diodore laughed as he sat on his throne.
"Well done, 'Investor'!"
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. I only contributed a small amount, and all this is thanks to your support~!"
"Wow, you're quite good at talking, aren't you?"
"I'm just stating the facts."
the investor said respectfully.
"Then, Your Highness, all you have to do now is wait patiently for the results~!"
"Wait patiently~?"
Diodore maintained a faint smile on his face, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
"'Investor', do you think if nothing is done in this situation, those three people might actually fight to the death?"
"Of course, this is impossible. However, Your Highness, please rest assured that we have a backup plan. Your Highness only needs to wait and see."
As he spoke, the "investor" lowered his head, and a deep look appeared in his eyes that was impossible to guess the true meaning.
"Oh~? Well, since you've already shown me what you can do, let me continue to watch your performance~!"
"Thank you for your trust. I believe that Your Highness and I will establish a good cooperative relationship."
... ...
After leaving the third prince's palace.
The "investor" and several of his trusted subordinates walked on the sparsely populated street.
"Sir, there is something I don't understand."
One of them asked a question that he had been wondering for a long time.
"You want to ask why you chose Diodore, right?"
The investor said lightly.
"Yes, yes, sir, please forgive my disrespect!"
The subordinate said in a cold sweat.
"No problem."
"Thank you, sir!"
His men suddenly felt relieved.
"It's okay to tell you the answer. You'll know it right away without me having to tell you."
"Let me ask you, who do you think will be the next emperor?"
Several men looked at each other.
In the end, they all shook their heads.
“Hmph~!”
The "investor" sneered and then said something unbelievable.
"The next emperor of the Pasarala Empire will only be the eldest prince, Drehak Serions! No one else will have any chance."
"What?"
Several of his men were stunned.
"Hmph~, it's normal for you to be surprised, but——"
The investor said slowly,
"Once you've seen it, you'll understand... that Drehak possesses the aura of a natural king. He's destined to become king."
"But, sir, if it's only Drehark? Then why are we..."
“Heh~!”
The "investor" looked at the subordinate who said this, with an unfathomable depth in his eyes.
"Who told you that I was investing in Diodo?"
"Ah? This..."
Several of the men were even more confused and completely unable to understand what the "investor" said.
Isn't everything they are doing now an investment in Diodore?
"Hahaha~, you'll all understand soon. The real fun is about to begin~!"
After saying that, the "investor" left with a smile and no intention of explaining further.
“… …”
The people behind him were still confused, but they could only keep their doubts to themselves and quietly followed the "investor"...
On a street in Midtown.
Sitting in the carriage, Hulim looked at the street scene outside through a gap in the curtains. In the bustling Langard, he always saw all kinds of new and interesting things.
At this moment, Hulim saw a strange man in the crowd who was wearing black clothes similar to those of a clergyman and had some kind of tattoo on his forehead.
"Um?"
Looking at the man, Hulim frowned.
"What's wrong, Hulim?"
Miko, who was beside him, noticed Hulim's abnormality and asked.
"No, nothing."
Hulim answered casually.
"Really? I saw your face suddenly turned bad just now, and I thought something happened to you again..."
Because of the experience of taking care of Hulim during the trip in the past, Micko subconsciously thought of Hulim's weak period just now, so he became worried.
Hearing this, Hulim turned back to look at Miko and said with a smile:
"It's okay, I won't be in that situation again now!"
"Oh, I'm sorry for making such a fuss."
Seeing that Hulim was indeed fine, Miko realized that he had been overly worried and apologized.
Hulim smiled and rubbed her head, then turned and continued looking out the window.
but.
Gone...
The person I just saw has disappeared.
“… …”
After this incident, Hulim simply closed the curtains completely and stopped looking at the street scene outside.
That person's feeling...
For some reason, Hulim felt a sense of disgust from that person.
... ...
One dark night.
“Who are you?!”
The noble looked nervously at the man with a scales tattoo on his forehead who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to harm you, but to save you~."
"Save me? That's nonsense! I'm fine, what could possibly happen to me? Tell me your purpose right now, or I'll call the guards!"
