266 Episode 25 Confrontation with Claw

Race First Prince Claw lived in the capital, a castle, a little larger than a mansion, but he worked as a paperwork in his office.

It's like a preliminary exercise to become a race king in the future.

"...... Shit. I'm not a kid. What are you doing?"

I was seriously working on paperwork, but it was strangely noisy outside.

It's as if more than one child is running around the hallway.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I was afraid.

Claw gives instructions to his closest associates to help him with his work.

Close relatives are also somewhat irritated by being disturbed by paperwork, and I think I will do even one of the hard sermons to the culprit.

--But he didn't have to go out in the hallway.

Because the noise, the main culprit, came straight to the office.

"Concentrate" and the door are knocked.

The proximity that was just about to leave the room opened the door.

"Wow!?

When the door opens slightly, the person approaching the office opens the door forcefully, and then enters the room momentarily and hits the body nearby. The closest one is thrown away and screams.

Klau, who was watching a part of the situation, tried to yell at and reprimand those who came in in a way that hurt his proximity, but he couldn't speak up right away and was in a state of confusion.

Because it was the fully armed race soldiers from head to toe who opened the door, and they collapsed into the office.

(Urgent problem? You came here in a hurry to report the attack of another species of state!? Or is there an assassin invading the castle!? Or…)

Claw thinks in his brain.

But he wasn't right in his thoughts.

Race First Princess Lilith appears to be escorted from behind hardened soldiers.

Lilith?

Claw's consciousness freezes with his real sister's appearance.

It's too early to come back from the Principality of Six, and I don't know what it means to bring armed soldiers into the office.

When Claw was confused, Lilith said indifferently.

"I order Lilith, queen of the kingdom of race. Put your pen down and follow us very carefully."

"Queen? What a joke. I can't laugh at anything, and it would be disrespectful to name the queen when His Majesty the King is alive. Even a real daughter has good things to say and bad things to do."

"Oniisama, I'm not kidding. I was approved by three or more of the five countries other than the racial kingdom, and I abolished your father, the former king, and became queen of the racial kingdom."

Klau also understands that the King of the Race Kingdom cannot decide for himself.

Therefore, I thought that I would become the next king rather than a disobedient Lilith, and I have made considerable efforts.

Nevertheless, Lilith behaved like a queen who was accepted by other countries and followed the armed soldiers.

Claw's confusion accelerated and at the same time a bad feeling stroked his back.

He gets up from his chair and turns back to Lilith.

"Have you received approval from three countries? Yeah, quit lying. It's impossible to think common-sense of abandoning a father who hasn't caused any trouble and offering Lilith a feast to the queen who hasn't done anything. Lilith, I don't know what you're up to, but I'm really mad at you as my brother!?

"Oniisama... it's all true. Otherwise, why am I still here in the Principality?

"... did you come home alone before the meeting started?

No matter how far down the river you can go to the Principality, you can't travel with the capital of the racial kingdom in one day.

As Lilith pointed out, during the Principality of Six meeting, an arrangement was made to "take the King's relatives as an assistant to the person in charge during the meeting & as a replacement during the time of the emergency." This implicit rule applies only to racial kingdoms, and the role of the King's relatives is, to put it another way, a hostage.

Nevertheless, it is impossible for her to be here when she should be in the Principality. Breaking the deal will be a big problem.

If being here is not a problem... did Lilith quit the meeting early because she was no longer a hostage to the Queen, or did she move here at high speed after the meeting with some help?

Claw is upset by the fact and finally understands his position.

"That's ridiculous, it can't be normal! Why would Lilith take the throne when her father, who hasn't caused any problems, is abandoned and has no record!? Other species will never be convinced!? Because my father was hidden in the Principality!? But isn't it right to have a meeting again and have me named King...? No matter what I think, it would have been like being king!? What the hell happened in the Principality...?"

In the second half, she leaked it to herself rather than to Lilith.

But his self-questioning was broken by the voice of a third party.

"Lilith, why don't you just get that guy? Because the results are already available, any further questions are a waste of time."

"!? Ki, 'Witch of the Giant Tower'...."

A girl wearing a hood and a magician-inspired costume appeared from behind Lilith and the others.

A "Black Clown" party headed for the Principality to escort her from behind.

Claw's not stupid either.

I saw the "Witch of the Giant Tower" and came to the answer.

"You stupid sister! You sold your country to The Witch of the Tower!

"Oniisama... I can't believe I sold my country. Instead, oniisama must have sold the people. I can only count on the help of the Witch of the Giant Tower. I don't remember selling my country."

Claude is furious at Lilith's denial.

"It would be the same if I had the help of a witch to fulfill your reckless desire! I was supposed to be king! That's what I've been struggling with! I have also responded to all offers from other species and requests for the people to be sent as slaves. The amount of the goods in the transaction was also said, but it was accepted. It's for the future of our race! And yet, I sold my people as slaves because I was told I needed the approval of another country to be king, so why can't I be king! You've worked so hard! This is crazy!"

"It's oniisama that's strange. Does it mean that they sell their people as slaves to other countries and buy products that are the result of the efforts of folk herbs at a low price? Oniisama's efforts are all about being king. They say the future of race, but what is the future of selling people in your country? You should be ashamed."

"Oh, what's wrong with trying to make me king! I've seen this racial kingdom since I was born. We're cattle! Then there's a way to live as a livestock, right? I rebelled when I was a kid and a young man, but the world didn't accept that. Don't ask me anything to negotiate with other species. That's right, I don't have the strength! Then, if nothing changes, what's wrong with me becoming king? What's wrong with being the dictator of another country? Lilith, it's good for you to talk about your childish aspirations alone. But so are you. We're powerless! Even if you did it, it would only be faster. If you fail, the species itself will be destroyed! If that happens, it's all your fault!

"No, I won't be destroyed. Rather, I stood up to win a bright future of race. Oniisama, please stop making selfish accusations."

Brothers and sisters speak each other.

There was a wide and deep gap between the two opinions.

But this is not the place to talk.

Lilith stared straight at her brother.

"Oniisama needs to draw a line to prove that I'm not wrong. The Army is already in possession. No one is coming in to help oniisama. So please do not resist poorly."

"... Lilith, I will definitely regain my throne. Race kingdom is fine as it is! To keep my race alive, to protect my honor... I will definitely take the throne. Even if it's your sister."

Klau also understands that it is impossible to reverse on this occasion, leaving behind words that do not resist but are full of intent to kill.

Lilith did not move when she received her brother's declaration from the front, signaling the soldier to take Claw into custody. Bring him in.

Naturally, Claw's closest associates were also taken into custody and secured.

"... isn't it reasonable to dispose of it before it causes problems?"

The Witch of the Tower presents Lilith with the simplest solution for Claw, who has not yet given up the throne recapture.

Her escort Dark looked at her under the mask as saying 'too much', but because her expression was physically blocked, the 'Witch of the Giant Tower' didn't notice.

Lilith slightly silenced the opinion of "Witch of the Giant Tower" before telling her.

"... no, killing my brother is bad. If it hurts you badly, you will lose support from the people by calling it" the queen of blood who put his hand on his real brother for the desire of the throne and made a solemn clear of blood. "It should be the last resort."

At the moment, there will be people supporting Klu.

Even I won the throne by force.

There is no point in deliberately making elements that pull your feet poorly.

As a "Witch of the Giant Tower", I was no longer interested, and I shrugged my shoulders and said nothing.

Lilith looks back at the remaining soldiers and gives instructions as the queen.

"I was able to capture oniisama without letting her escape, which was my number one goal. Next is securing important documents, national treasures showing the throne, securing important facilities, etc. Don't leak anything. Hold it down."

Soldiers raise their energetic voices and follow their pre-arranged roles.

The turbulent day of the racial kingdom had only just begun.
