Apparently, I’m a Childhood Friend of a Saint in the World of Light Novels, and When We Meet Again After a Few Years at School, She’s Turned into Some Kind of Yandere?
“Well, we’re going to take our leave now.”
“Yes. I will set up another time for a more detailed explanation. Thank you very much for today.”
I looked away from Alan sama and the others.
And when they were out of sight, I let out a big breath and sat back in my chair.
“Phew,……, the first step was a success,…….”
Although I was prepared to abandon my home country at one point, I went all the way back home because I thought that with Alan sama and Charlotte sama’s help, I might be able to rebuild it.
This operation, which will cost time and lives, absolutely cannot fail.
“Your Highness Iris,…… however much it may be, isn’t it too much to hand over even the ball of life,……?”
“You think so? Alex.”
Alex, the white-haired man in the back, says.
This man is the first senior minister I promoted and he is assisting me.
He is a genius who knows everything about combat, espionage, and politics, yet he had been stagnant because of his commoner status, so I promoted him.
“Yes,……, I honestly believe so.”
The ball of life, so to speak, is the weak point of the human body that can be carried around.
The ball is sealed with the life of the person who activates the magic tool.
It is a treasure of the royal family that can prevent the death of the main body due to third-party factors to some extent, although it cannot prevent illness, life span, or damage that exceeds the allowable amount.
It also has the merit of multiplying the effect of recovery magic on the main body and the sphere at the same time, but even so, the demerit of being stolen is still greater.
I wouldn’t have wanted to use it if it weren’t for something like this.
“It’s okay. Thanks to that, I was able to obtain what I wanted most, something worth risking my life for.”
“You mean the trust of the hero and the saint?”
“Yes. In order for the plan to succeed, it was essential to win their trust at all costs. I had to put my life on the line because my family did so much.”
They have always been an abominable family.
My father is indecisive and incompetent, completely unprepared to put his own life on the line as king and driven by self-preservation; my mother is an annoying eldery who only cares about her own power; my twin brother is hated by the saint, but he cheats by challenging the hero to a game and broadcasts it on campus with a magical tool to destroy the trust of the royal family; my half brother is a fool who only enjoys luxury through taxation.
The officials who follow such a royal family are also less than decent.
“How could Your Majesty allow such a thing?”
“It’s thanks to the personalities of Alan sama and Charlotte sama, isn’t it? Hayman did a good job too.”
In order to proceed as planned, I needed my father to still be alive.
To increase the probability of being forgiven, I had contacted my father before the audience with Alan sama and the others, and had stirred up his anxiety, so I knew he would apologize, but I was not sure if he would forgive.
“I’ll offer Heyman an incredible reward in my name. I’m sure the father will be reluctant to offer a reward anyway.”
“All right. I will make the arrangements.”
Loyalty is rewarded.
It is a natural thing for royalty.
It was not right that he should be reluctant to offer a reward for his own benefit.
“Do you have any other questions or concerns about the plan?”
“Well, it’s not so much a concern as an impression, but the two of them are really young, about the same age as His Highness.”
“Ara, is Alex worried about them?”
I asked jokingly and Alex shook his head.
His face was more severe than ever.
“The opposite. Charlotte has already been able to use the elemental blessings in her entrance exam. I think it’s highly unusual for her to learn it this quickly.”
“I see. So how is Alan sama?””
I’m not very good at combat myself.
Therefore, my battle is to use my brains to avoid putting me in combat.
Therefore, even though I knew that they were strong, I had to let my trusted subordinates judge how strong they were.
“That man …….”
I looked back to see what was going on and saw that Alex was sweating profusely.
When I see his eyes shaking as if he’s scared of something, even though he hasn’t even exercised, I know it’s cold sweat.
“He’s exceptional,……, and there’s probably no way in hell I could win a fight with him,…….”
“……!!!!”
I can’t believe Alex said that much……
Alex is one of the strongest people under my command and is capable of getting about a 40% win rate from Hayman.
Despite that, he assured me that it would be impossible to win.
When I realized how crazy that was, I felt a chill run down my spine.
“I hate to think what would have happened if Alan-sama had turned his blade against this country. …… Is that also a benefit of being a hero after all?”
“I think that’s partly true, but that person had considerable strength even before he became a hero. Even compared to past heroes, his strength is exceptional…Maybe it’s because he manifested thunder magic yesterday. I think it has grown explosively.”
In addition to increasing all abilities and strengthening resistance, the hero receives extremely powerful benefits such as breaking through the growth limit and increasing growth efficiency.
Even so, I don’t think it’s possible for him to grow faster than Alex in just one battle.
“We’re really lucky we didn’t turn him into an enemy. ……”
“I think it’s thanks to Your Highness Iris that this country is still here today.”
I usually would have dismissed it as flattery, but I couldn’t laugh at it today.
But while it’s terrifying to have as an enemy, there is no one more reassuring to have as an ally.
If they were that good, the chances of a successful revolution would increase.
“We need to make the trust between us complete. We’ll start cleaning up the trash in this country right away. I’ll leave the preparations to you.”
“Leave it to me. All for Your Highness Iris …….”
With that, Alex disappeared in an instant.
This is where I start.
I have always been kept away from politics because I am a woman and had to play the role of an incompetent.
But from now on, things will be different.
I will use my talents, my friends, my subordinates, and everything I have to win, no matter how unfavorable the situation.
That is the path I have chosen.
“I will …… surely become the queen. I will make my dream come true. ……”
Putting geh jokes aside ‘mother is an old man’ line need correction.
Well that’s awkward, thanks!
The atrocities that the country did is not exaggerated enough, it does sounds like a typical politics stuff
