1013 Crisis of Confidence, Lessons Learned

PreviousBack to directoryNext
With the efforts of His Highness the Prince and a group of "subordinates", the originally chaotic situation in Tanzania City has gradually stabilized over time. Although this stability will be affected by the fact that some of them can't stand the power of His Highness the Prince.

There were slight deviations due to the interference, but the Imperial Prince, who had obviously learned the methods of differentiation and rejection, quickly eliminated these threats by wooing other adventurer forces. Players who also fell in love with His Highness the Prince

Thanks to the guild, the protests against the violation of the commission agreement raised by the Adventurers Association, which originally bucked the trend, also lost their original meaning due to the differences of opinion among the entrusted parties themselves, and this has become a stumbling block for His Royal Highness to eliminate the problem.

A major help and one of the important capitals that allowed him to completely dominate the situation in Tanzania City.

However, this capital was eventually challenged at the last moment, and became uncontrollable as the aristocratic faction fully rose to resist.

"So the so-called act of blocking the return of the Imperial Noble Group was not done secretly by a certain family in our city, but was the result of your highness once again directing and acting on your own! You put so much effort into performing this scene, is it possible?

Have you not considered the safety and feelings of our other nobles?"

"Of course the nobles of the empire are also within the scope of my consideration, Prince Chris, but that battle should not have existed in the first place. All my methods were just to elicit all the evidence of the sinner Violet in public.

Expose all her crimes..."

"Even so, you should not put all your possibilities on those adventurers and escorts. Our nobles in Tanzania City are much more trustworthy than them, and the Lord of the City has always been loyal to you!"

"This is just part of my plan, there is nothing I can do about it! Do I want to announce that everything is a play on my part in that situation, and then let you go like that?"

"It seems that our Royal Highness has encountered a big crisis."

Standing steadily at the door of the association hall, Duan Qing, who was supported by the white-haired woman, pulled out a wry smile. His staggering and frivolous steps then slowly retreated in the direction from which he came, and he was surrounded by the people at this moment.

The group of players watching the excitement at the entrance of the association hall also put aside the voices coming from the impeachment meeting in the ruins of the central square: "It just happened that at this time I met the person who was most likely to oppose his actions.

"

"That's right." Xueling Huanbing on the side also smiled: "Originally, all the nobles, including Romlia, planned to avoid the trend created by His Highness the Prince and the imperial family behind him, but suddenly

I was interfered with by you..."

"I originally thought that people in the free world didn't believe in God." Duan Qing shrugged helplessly: "I didn't expect that they actually took it as the same thing."

"Even if they can't believe in things like gods, the justice of that trial itself has been overturned." Xue Ling Huanbing lowered her voice: "Whether it is in terms of form or in essence.

"

"...I didn't intend to do it to this extent."

The voice paused slightly, and then Duan Qing's footsteps and his sighs went up to the stands on the second floor of the association: "I have no intention of always disobeying the actions of the prince, but this time I have followed my heart.

In the end, the fight turned out to be a back-and-forth confrontation between the two sides."

"It's obviously the other person who hits the wall, right?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who still kept supporting her, replied angrily: "Even the place where he fainted was properly spared."

"Ah ha ha ha, coincidence, everything is a coincidence." Duan Qing scratched his head helplessly: "Our lives are not valuable, we can just let them catch or kill us, but in the end we were carried back by you.

When it came to the association, I really didn’t expect it.”

"You can go thank Tristan yourself later. He jumped out to vouch for the two of us out of nowhere." He flattened his mouth, and Xueling Huanbing, who just wanted to raise his hand, then raised his hand.

His eyes were focused on the direction of the central ruins outside the stands: "Of course."

"We have to wait until the end of this so-called impeachment meeting."

Following her line of sight, Duan Qing also turned his attention to the central street outside the Adventurers Association where crowds of people gathered. At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince and various nobles in Tanzania City gathered for a temporary open-air meeting.

Under the gaze of countless ordinary citizens of the empire who had gathered here, they continued to argue as if no one else was watching: "In short, in short, this series of actions by His Highness the Prince are extremely problematic! He has no conclusive evidence at all.

, but in the end it almost led to the destruction of the city of Tanzania!"

"Watch your words, Lord Cromagnus. It was the witch Violet who brought such great damage to this city, not our respected prince!"

"So the key to the problem is why you provoke her and that god-like figure! Don't you have any more gentle way to deal with this problem? Even if you discuss it with us in advance!"

"No, that is not the most critical issue, Lord Terver. The current results have shown the injustice of His Royal Highness. If everything starts from the starting point of 'His Royal Highness made a mistake'..."

"No, His Highness the Prince cannot be mistaken! Violet is the criminal who secretly made poison and attacked His Highness the Prince before! We have collected evidence from the Violet Tower!"

"A preconceived conviction is not a conviction, Mr. Gomez. Moreover, that large-scale search was all led by your Royal Guards alone. Both the procedures and the process are unbelievable."

"You, what did you say?"

"Why, you want to use force after you can't argue? This is an impeachment meeting against His Royal Highness! Put down the sword of violence and injustice in your hand!"

Different from the trend of all supporting His Highness the Prince two days ago, the citizens of the empire who gathered around were also whispering to each other as this temporary open-air meeting continued. They had already witnessed the trial and the final result.

At this time, they also lost their previous enthusiasm, and were surprised that this group of eloquent nobles had changed from their previous respectful and upright attitude and dared to confront His Royal Highness the majesty. Also calm were those sitting in the circle.

His Royal Highness, the prince on the other side of the ruins, seemed to be completely out of his previous state of madness with his eyes closed. He quietly listened to the debate between his subordinates and the imperial nobles. After a while, he

He raised his head for the first time: "Are you really going to do this? Lord Tristan?"

"I am honored to receive your favor from His Highness." The middle-aged man sitting on the noble side stroked his beard: "But since the discussion has reached this point, I must not be the only one who can determine the right and wrong.

It’s clear.”

"Don't forget what happened in Koska County before." His Royal Highness Prince Chris's eyes became sharper: "Did you first plan to be an ungrateful person when you first returned to the empire?"

"His Royal Highness saved us, and we never dare to forget it in our hearts." Tristan, who was stroking his chest and saluting, replied in a low voice: "But... regardless of whether these two things can be compared together,

Just considering what His Highness the Prince has done recently, the rescue we received that day itself has become questionable."

"you!"

"To use a word that an adventurer once taught me, this is called a crisis of trust."

Faced with the anger that His Highness the Prince could not vent, Tristan Romilia replied with a meaningless look: "Now you should no longer use His Royal Highness's noble status to excuse these questioning words in the past, but you should try your best to find out

The only way to solve them is to solve them.”

"Isn't this an obvious thing?" His Highness the Prince's eyebrows and veins calmed down slightly: "Even if you don't believe me and my Royal Guards, you should at least believe that I am a member of the Frey Empire royal family.

No matter how much we act recklessly, we cannot pretend to be restorers and attack the imperial convoy of nobles!"

"..."

"Okay, okay, let's change to a more obvious angle." Facing the expressions of all the nobles as if they were looking at idiots, His Royal Highness Prince Chris gritted his teeth and raised his hands: "I was originally an imperial envoy.

The initial itinerary was to the Principality of Elnifea. It is impossible for us to know the return itinerary of your imperial noble group. Even if we knew it, where did we come from to pretend to attack the noble group? How could we survive in Romlia?

Will the 50-man magician phalanx sent by the city lord not reveal its flaws under the resistance?"

"Captain Kane Carter has never been in your team. We can think that he has assumed the responsibility of disguise." He said these words lightly, which made Prince Chris even more angry. Luke Sehangu, who was sitting in the corner of the noble side, said

Then he changed the topic: "But there seems to be no suitable explanation regarding the itinerary and the level of disguise."

"Even if the previous attack was not planned by His Royal Highness, what about the next one?" The Lord of Romlia, who was sitting in the center of the noble square, then followed Lord Luxor's words and questioned: "Could it be that the attack near the city gate

Are the enemies who attacked His Royal Highness and the nobles also enemies outside of your arrangements?"

"I planned the initial attack, but that's all." As if recalling some unforgettable memories, His Royal Highness Prince Chris covered his shoulders with a gloomy face: "As a charge of attacking the prince,

I just need you as witnesses to see that key arrow, it is enough. I don’t need to plunge myself into a real death situation and delay our return to the city."

"Well...it seems that it really doesn't make sense."

In the moment of silence when all the imperial nobles fell silent, Tristan, who was still stroking his beard, shook his head and replied: "Then let's assume that the two previous attacks have nothing to do with His Highness, the attacker is someone else.

So according to His Highness the Prince... all of this was done by the Restorationists?"

"No need to ask, of course they did it!" His Royal Highness Prince Chris gritted his teeth: "They must have been aware of my plan a long time ago, and then took advantage of it."

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

As the words suddenly stopped, Tristan's finger then pointed at His Royal Highness the Prince's purple-green face that seemed to be choked: "It looked like two seamless cooperations, and in the end they even almost succeeded. To say that the Restoration vs. His Highness the Prince...

I know nothing about this series of exquisite arrangements, and even His Royal Highness himself would not believe it."

"Then here comes a new question." He paused slightly: "If all this is not from one of your members, then please explain who, when, where, and how the eavesdropping was used

After knowing your plan, how did you cleverly arrange your actions in the previous battle in full view of everyone?"

"..."

The atmosphere at the scene became quiet for a moment with the appearance of Tristan's words, and then began to buzz with commotion as the citizens of Tanzania were whispering.

The middle-aged uncle then nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes once again fell on His Royal Highness, who was frowning across from him: "Do you have an idea, Your Highness?"

"...No, if that's the case...it's impossible." The prince's suspicious eyes swept around him involuntarily for a moment: "But why do they do this?"

"I'm not a destiny weaver who can predict everything, and I can't see through their purpose." Slowly standing up from the side of the circular ruins, Tristan shook his head helplessly: "But there are some things.

, as someone who has been struggling in the city of freedom for many years, I can give some trivial suggestions."

"If it is impossible to draw a conclusion from the process, then it is okay to infer the conclusion from the results." Two unknown gleams flashed in his eyes: "Since the final result caused by the plan has deviated, then it must be

What they want to achieve is different from yours. The winner of this secret contest has already been decided before it even comes to the surface. The result... is our common failure."

"This is also the real reason why I said that promise before." He pointed to the direction of the city gate where he and several other nobles had just walked: "No matter how the previous battle went, the final victim

They must not be their accomplices. This is not only my experience as an old noble..."

"This is also what I have learned from my experience after fighting against those group of restorationists for a long time."

He smiled at the blond man, stretched out his arm and slowly put it on his chest, and then gradually disappeared with slow steps in the slightly dumb eyes of the nobles and onlookers around him.

He fell into the crowd that separated automatically behind him.
