Betrayed by My Best Friend and Dumped by My Fiancée, I’ve Decided to Enjoy Life as I Please ~ For Some Reason, a Bunch of Crazy Fanatics Keep Pledging Their Loyalty to Me~
(Who exactly are you trying to target ……? I don’t want to make too big a deal out of it, and I’m hoping it’s someone who’s willing to be an honest member of the group through gentle solicitation or something like that. ……)
“The more people you recruit, the better. We would like to select a small number of elite people so that it is difficult to get a foot in the door. To do that, we need to make contact with the target first, otherwise nothing will start.”
Saying this, Iris walked quickly and without hesitation.
The direction is a little different from the classroom.
So, does this mean that we should take a glance at the target first?
“Do you know where it is?”
“No, I don’t know that. But it’s easy to find”
There was a large crowd in the direction Iris pointed.
I have not heard that there is some kind of event today.
So what is going on over there?
“….What’s that?”
“Probably some of the target’s cronies or fans, I guess.”
“Fans ……?”
Why would there be fans?
I mean, if you take out someone with that kind of influence in the school, whether it’s kidnapping or recruiting, you’re going to be in big trouble. ……
I was thinking that, but I had to take a look first, so we moved forward with ease among the crowd.
Then, in the center of the crowd, there were two girls standing.
(Wow, she’s as beautiful as Iris and the others. …… but what in the world would such little girls do to world affairs?)
“Iris.”
“Are those two the ones?”
“We have confirmed their appearance for the time being. Let’s go back for more details.”
We went back the way we came and looked for a place where there were few people.
After confirming that there were no other people around listening, she began to talk.
“So? You mean those two are the targets?”
“Yes, that’s right. One of them, to be exact.”
One of them……
The two beautiful girls each had their own characteristics.
One was a beautiful girl with short-cut fiery red hair and an active boyish look.
The other was a calm girl with almost navy blue hair tied back in a ponytail.
Both girls had a certain elegance about them, and I could see why they were so popular.
“Which one are you after?”
“The blue-haired one. Even if we can’t replenish human resources, we’d like to keep her”
I see……
I mean, looks don’t matter at this point.
The title is more important at this point.
I prayed that she was as slight as possible, and waited for Iris to speak.
“Her name is Sheila Draver. She is the only imperial princess and our top priority target.”
“Wha!?”
The …… imperial princess of the empire!
We just went to war with the Empire and now we’re picking a fight with them again!
That’s about three times as big a name as I imagined!
“Ellie. Why are you going after her? It doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.”
“Can you give me a reason?”
“Of course. Well, for one thing, her value is growing by the day. And that is to the extent that she will have an impact on world affairs.”
The influence of the royal family of the world’s largest nation is immeasurable.
However, the value of an imperial princess drops drastically when compared to that of a prince.
This is common sense in a world where the values of male chauvinism and female chauvinism are firmly entrenched.
“She is unlikely to succeed to the throne. She will eventually marry into another country through a political marriage. Is she really someone we should acquire even if there is a chance that the empire will take notice of her?”
“From our point of view, we cannot allow her to marry for political reasons.”
“We can’t let her have a political marriage ……?”
“Yes.”
I have no idea why, but Iris nodded confidently.
Apparently, there is a good reason for it.
Iris’s story continues.
“The Empire has too few members of the royal family for the size of the country. The world, not to mention the empire, is full of signs of death: death by disease, death in battle, assassination, factional strife, etc. If the emperor’s position becomes vacant, the world will be in a state of chaos. If the position of emperor were to become vacant in such a situation……”
“The end of humanity.”
“Yes, Deborah, you are right. It would be the end of the human race.”
……… What’s the scale of what’s going on?
Did I just trip into a movie?
“The board has changed dramatically since Richard was stripped of his title as Crown Prince. It is possible that Felix, the second prince who is now said to be the closest to the crown prince, will quickly decide on a political marriage for Princess Sheila in order to reduce the number of disaffected parties as much as possible. So we cannot let this timing pass us by.”
You mean that once she is gone, they cannot decide on a political marriage. ……
We must keep Princess Sheila alive to protect the imperial blood.
That makes me feel safer to have her in our own hands.
Is it that we have to care about the empire so much because it is a world where the empire is so big and so powerful for nothing?
“Of course, we have no plans to assassinate the imperial family. But recently, the movements of the Demon King’s army have become a bit suspicious. It is also a fact that with a few percent chance of extinction, the human race could be annihilated.”
Only a few percent, but still.
That small chance is too great to risk the lives of the entire human race.
Why should such a small organization have to make such a heavy choice? ……
But no member of the World Alliance can do that, and the empire is in the middle of a power struggle.
Surprisingly, it might be something that could only be done by a third party like this.
“But would an imperial princess take us up on our offer? I don’t think so.”
“……, so we’ll have to consider kidnapping her.”
Oh, come on, you’re saying you’re not confident that even Iris can recruit her?
That’s not a good idea. ……
But if we can’t keep her in custody and she pulls a few percent, it’s not funny at all.
I don’t know, I feel like Iris’ suggestions don’t always make it seem like I have a choice.
“Let’s talk to her first….. Then we can talk.”
“Yeah. The situation is not time sensitive. As long as we succeed during our stay at the academy, there will be no problem.”
If we can’t manage to recruit her, we’ll have to kidnap her as a last resort. ……
If possible, I don’t want to do that, so I would like to try to persuade her, but it will probably be a difficult case since the other party’s position is the same
“Haa… the direction has been suspicious from the beginning. Also, let me ask you something. Who was the person next to Princess Sheila?”
“Yes, she was the second largest power in the empire. She is Princess Kate Gickent, the first princess of the Gickent Kingdom, the second largest country after the Empire. She was the one I wanted too for this recruitment.”
Apparently, our deputy chief of staff is planning to kidnap the princesses of the world’s two largest nations.
Isn’t that a little too much blood?
Isn’t there a more peaceful way!!!!!!
