Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 294: The Heir to the Throne, Piremon
Obviously, by this time, the news of Ariel's assassination had spread throughout the royal capital.

The news that Allen was with him also spread in the royal capital.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they would probably just be filled with indignation, and at the same time lament that Her Royal Highness the Princess has such a powerful guard.

But what does this mean in the eyes of the nobles?

it goes without saying.

Pilemon, who had been paying close attention to the developments in the royal capital recently and knew that Ariel had gone to Flowing Waterfall City, naturally learned the news first.

Certain associations naturally come to mind:

Ariel was obviously rescued by this guy named Allen, but isn't this bastard Allen a descendant of the Boreas family?

Damn.

This assassination plot was most likely planned by the First Prince.

The First Prince? Didn't Boreas support the First Prince?
This must have been planned by James.

What about repelling assassinations? That sounds good. Even if the Boreas family goes back three generations, the best they could do was just as good as the old senior swordsman like Saulos. By the time of James' generation, they were all just scheming people. How could they have any tradition or foundation in martial arts?
How can we compare to our Notos family who pays more attention to the cultivation of martial arts since childhood?

I think it's you and your son, or even your entire Boreas family, acting together! Bet on each other! Of the three most prestigious candidates for the crown prince, your Boreas family has two, one is the most powerful first prince among the nobles, and the other is the most prestigious second princess among the people.

Is there any law here? You are playing tricks on people with such a clumsy way. Aren't you afraid of being disliked by both sides?
And you, Ariel, you keep saying thank you for the Notos family's help, but you use the excuse of protecting your reputation to refuse my suggestion to send my son there. So you have been involved with the Boreas family for a long time? You have been flirting with the Boreas family for a long time!

Is this possible?
It was clearly our Notos family that placed the bet first, so we were the ones who arrived first!

So, Lord Pirremon, who was not a scheming person and had the "quick wit" characteristic of the Notos family, and was a real brother of Brother Paul, decided to go to the second princess's mansion to get the truth after he became anxious.

But when we arrived in the afternoon, we found that Ariel had not returned yet?
This further confirmed that Ariel was going to Boreas's house.

Pilemon simply didn't leave and just waited here for Ariel to return.

So this scene happened.

"Can you still be 'sincere'?"

Ariel stared at the dock again, then turned to look at Alan again. It was rare to see her frowning.

"Did you expect this?"

Alan then lied. "I just guessed someone would come, but I didn't expect who it would be. But it turned out to be Notos? It seems that His Highness is indeed a rare commodity."

After hearing this, Ariel's eyes flashed with annoyance and she was about to say something.

"Your Highness! It seems that Lord Piramiden has been waiting in the waiting room for a long time."

Dilic, who was standing by, came over in a hurry. He looked so excited that he couldn't hide his excitement. But halfway through his words, he glanced at Alan, his face a little conflicted and embarrassed.

It is true that he personally has a good impression of Allen, even too good, but the facts currently revealed are very cruel.

———Alan had no intention of joining the Second Princess’ camp.

In Dilic's mind, there is no doubt that Ariel's position in his heart is absolutely higher than that of Alan. The former is related to the dream of reforming Asura, while the latter is just out of his own youthful admiration for some outstanding young people of the same age.

The humble attitude of Pilemon's late-night visit was completely beyond his expectations.

Therefore, the scales of reason have tilted.

Dilic was not a person who advocated the use of force. He was not as aware of the influence of swordsmen who emphasized personal force and the Water God Ryu Sodo as Ariel, who had the desire to establish her own knight order in her heart.

In this case, although Alan is one of the four major families, he is much better than the young man from the Notos family named Luke.

But Pilemon himself is undoubtedly the head of the four major families.

In comparison, Allen has a father who is under the command of the First Prince, and his influence is more in his own territory. He is one of the four noble descendants in the royal capital whose economic assets are greater than their political strength.

It doesn't seem so 'fragrant'.

After all, the battle for the crown prince is about political influence.

Alan looked at Dilic's expression of concern. To be honest, he got the information about the relationship between Pilemon and Ariel from the guardian warlock on the road.

He smiled and turned away.

"Your Highness, please entertain the guests first. We will wait for a while in the front yard of your manor."

With a thump, the boat shook and came to rest steadily on the dock.

Ariel looked at Alan's back as he walked away without any attachment and bit her lip.

"Dilic, get off the boat and wait in the living room!"

After that, she stepped on her high heels and jumped off the boat with the help of her maid before the docking platform was set up.

He walked hurriedly towards the brightly lit mansion.

His footsteps were hurried, completely losing his usual contented demeanor.

As if he was eager to prove something.

Alan waited for Sylphy and the others to come over, and after leisurely explaining the whole story, he slowly walked towards the shore after the boarding platform was set up.

He even looked with interest at the princess's mansion in front of him, which resembled a European castle style.

No rush at all.

because
What you can’t get is always the best.

The so-called pulling means jumping back and forth between the results that cannot be obtained and those that can be obtained.

then.

The desire to get something is constantly aroused, while the fact that it cannot be obtained keeps prolonging the time limit.

Then
The desire to get it will burn more and more fiercely.

Is not it?
-

"no!"

"Your Highness? Why do you want to refuse? If we refuse Lord Piramiden again this time, we may never have another chance. Lord Allen is excellent, but he obviously doesn't like us."

Dilic followed Ariel closely with a frown on his face, confusion evident.

Ariel had walked quickly through the long front yard, and finally slowed down her pace when she stepped onto the carpet in front of the mansion door.

The speaking speed is still very fast.

"If you want to get Allen's support, such a utilitarian choice won't work. You don't understand him."

Dilic seemed to have heard something absurd and opened his mouth in surprise.

"We are talking about Lord Pirremon, not how to get the support of Lord Allen. It is clear that we already have a better choice now."

"Dilic!!"

Ariel suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Dilic, which actually frightened the latter so much that he jumped.

This was the first time he saw Ariel so impatient.

"Don't you understand? Lord Pirrimon is not sincere in his investment in you and me, otherwise he would not have been waiting and watching. Why did he change his mind now? It's just because he saw that Alan had provoked his unwilling anger!"

"You and I are now in a rare position, but it is just an illusion. Dilic, think about it carefully! If we agree to Lord Pilemon and ignore Alan now, when Lord Pilemon calms down, it will not be him who will be in a passive position, but you and me!"

Dilic took a deep breath.

"Your Highness, I understand. But the support of the nobles is in groups, and your power is relatively weak now. As long as you have the support of Lord Pilemon, with your appeal, you can attract more nobles to come and cling to you."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the reception room.

Ariel glanced at Dilic, whose face was covered with sweat.

Close your eyes.

Open your eyes again.

A smile as warm as the spring breeze appeared on her face again.

He turned around and signaled the maid to open the door of the reception room.

A crunch.

Along with the aroma of black tea comes the aroma.

The figure of Pilemon sitting on the sofa.

He turned to look at Ariel, and saw that she had greeted him with impeccable aristocratic etiquette, but before Ariel could walk up to him.

I can't wait to get straight to the point.

The first sentence is:
"Your Highness Ariel, I came here to tell you that you have been deceived by the Boreas family."

-

"The heir of the Boreas family 'happened' to be in Flowing Falls City and saved Ariel?" At the top of the Silver Palace, standing in the deep palace curtains somewhere at the highest point of the palace, a figure stood on the balcony on the top floor of the mansion below with a cane.

The deep and old voice carries the oppression of being in a high position for a long time.

The view from the balcony encompasses the entire royal city.

The mountains in the darkness spread downwards like the body of a crouching black dragon.

The royal palace, the upper nobles' area, the free area, the civilian area, the adventurer resettlement area, and the outskirts of the royal city.

Ars, never night.

Lines of fire burned, crisscrossing the roads and crisscrossing beneath his body.

That is the prosperous vein.

Clusters of lights illuminated the capital named after the brave, flickering in his eyes.

That is the starry sea of ​​power.

Boom, boom.

The crowned figure tapped lightly on the balcony railing in front of him with his fingertips. Behind him, Lilfa leaned forward, holding the golden sword in both hands.

He did not need to answer the king.

Although that sentence sounded like a question, Li Erfa knew that the other party was just asking and answering his own questions.

The king quietly looked at the night scene in Ars for a while.

He turned around and reached out to touch the golden sword that Lilfa was holding.

"Returning to the Holy Land of Swords is not such an easy task. Don't worry, Lilfa. Your apology is unnecessary. This is just a trick used by the youngsters to play with their reputation."

Lilfa dropped his eyes.

"Yes."

"My old friend, Saulos Boreas Greyrat, is not someone who can train a son who is devoted to martial arts and willing to stay in the poor town in the north. However, this attitude of waiting for a price is quite decent. It vaguely reminds me of the shadow of Darius when he was young. What an interesting boy."

"I thought that in this battle for the crown prince, these little guys would have to 'endure' for a long time. But it seems that they have become more active ahead of time."

"Alright."

The sound of a silver cane tapping could be heard.

Go to the balcony.

"The capital has been peaceful for too long."

"It's time to have some fun."

-

The front yard of Her Royal Highness the Princess's residence is very busy right now.

Of course, Ariel couldn't be so clueless as to completely ignore Alan and the others.

Maids came out in rows. When Alan and his companions just walked into the front hall, they handed them soft towels for washing their hands, served them tea and water, asked about their health, and invited them to sit in another reception room.

Very busy.

What's outrageous is that when Alan politely declined the invitation to the living room and said that the night view of the garden was also nice.

There were even maids who whispered in their ears: Now is the perfect time for the orioles and flowers to bloom, do you want to prepare a tea table for the guests to have tea and enjoy the view?
Both Sylphy and Rudy were stunned by the question.

Alan quickly smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

Then a table was set up in front of everyone, and the maid even smiled and said that if they had any instructions, they could just give them instructions.

While Sylphy and Rudy were still in a daze, the heartless Alice had already sat down on the chair and gulped down the tea.

Alan and the others had no choice but to sit down upon seeing this, but before their butts even touched the chairs.

Just hear a bang!
Alice put down the teacup, turned around and asked the maid behind her in a very heroic manner.

“Is there any orc maid?oooooooooooooo!!!”

"No thanks!"

Alan grabbed his sister who was addicted to beast girls. He had no doubt that Ariel's mansion, which had abundant maid resources, could really give him a few cat girls to accompany him for tea.

at this time.

At this moment, the sound of a carriage was heard outside the door of the mansion in the front yard.

Then there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

Someone came in the moonlight.

-

There was no moonlight in the living room.

The bright chandelier illuminates every corner of the living room.

But it could not illuminate the haze between the deep nasolabial folds on Pilemon's face.

This expression made Dilic sweat profusely and he was almost about to jump up and down.

Because, just a moment ago, Ariel once again declined the olive branch thrown by Pirogue.

"Thank you for your reminder. But I have some personal relationship with Lord Allen. I'm sorry, Lord Pirremon. I believe in your sincerity, but please allow me to be a little willful."

"I'm sorry again."

Pilemon frowned and looked at Ariel who was bowing her head apologetically in front of him and Dilic who was so anxious that he was about to jump up and down, and took a deep breath.

"I think I've made myself clear just now."

"This ambush against Your Highness was clearly a carefully planned situation by Boreas, but it seems that you don't believe what I said?"

Ariel lowered her eyebrows and said pleasingly.

"I'm sorry. I understand your good intentions. Based on the current situation, you may have this tendency. But at least in my opinion, the situation at that time was not like that."

She turned to look at Dilic.

"I think my guardian warlock can attest to that, as he was there at the time."

Dilic was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was very sure that Alan just happened to pass by and saved Ariel, but at the moment he was more inclined to choose the Notos family. After hearing this question, he took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face.

"I also believe that Mr. Allen just happened to save the princess, but I still think that the sincerity of the Notos family is too strong."

A sigh interrupted his words.

"I understand."

Pilemon actually stood up.

He looked at Ariel and said very seriously.

"Those who seek fame and reputation and use tricks to deceive your Highness."

"No problem. I will prove whether the young man from the Boreas family who staged a scene with the assassin was just a facade."

"And who is better, and who should you choose?"

Ariel lowered her eyes when she heard that, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes, but when she raised her head, her face was gentle again.

"I personally am willing to believe Mr. Allen, but how can I prove it?"

Pilemon smiled, a smile that was very confident on his face.

"I have instructed my servants to summon my second son, Luke Notos Greyrat, while I await your arrival in the evening."

"We will know who is the person to be entrusted with the task once we compare them."

　I feel like laughing when I write this. It turns out to be quite reasonable. It's outrageous.

　　I actually didn’t want to write about Luke, but Einzbern314 always wanted to see Luke get into trouble.

　　Write.

　　Other friends who are following the novel can also leave a message if they have a plot they want to see. If I have the chance to write it, I will arrange it.

　　Of course, I don't want to see such an outrageous development as seeing Blue Mother appear in the royal capital tomorrow. My brain really can't handle this.

　　Also, if you ask for some money, I will give it according to my ability. It’s okay if you don’t give it to me. I am the kind of person who accepts everything that comes my way (?).

　　But I really want to ask for it at the beginning of next month. If there is any at the beginning of the month, please give it to me! Or2 pouted! Aligagado! !
