“Oh, Amelia has arrived.”

“Amelia! You’ve come at just the right time.”

As I hurriedly opened the door, the sight of the imperial couple standing there so casually caught my eye.

I barely had time to sigh in relief that nothing had happened to them.

Before I could even deliver the news, I had to blink for a moment to assess the situation as the Empress tightly grasped both my hands.

“What’s going on? I heard there was a riot in the slums. Are you hurt? Did the people there do anything to you?”

“…Your Majesty. What do you mean by that…?”

“I was just about to send the knights to suppress the riot. It’s fortunate that Leoprick is there. So, what is it that they want?”

“Riot, Your Majesty? It’s not a riot. It’s a rebellion!”

This is clearly a rebellion.

It was an undeniable, obvious rebellion, no matter what anyone said.

They mobilized troops, incited the people in the slums, and dared to point swords at the Crown Prince.

Given these circumstances, it’s enough to suspect it as a rebellion.

Seeing their reaction, I guessed that Count Felice must have done something.

A riot, they say.

Isn’t that implying that they’re holding everyone in the slums hostage in case the rebellion fails?

I gritted my teeth and shook my head vigorously.

“It’s a rebellion, Your Majesty. When we arrived at the slums, it wasn’t the common people who came out, but skilled knights.”

“If they’re knights, aren’t they the troops Count Felice dispatched to stop the riot? If you help them, it should be resolved quickly, so why have you come all the way to the Emperor’s office?”

But the Emperor didn’t believe my words.

He was just curious about why I had barged in here like this.

I was confused to see him casually saying things he would never have said normally.

I stared at them blankly for a moment before letting out a sigh.

I didn’t know whose idea this was, but I found it quite despicable.

If successful, it’s good because it can make the Emperor let his guard down.

If the rebellion fails, they can simply pass the blame onto the poor people.

Either way, it’s a structure where they have nothing to lose.

I shook my head with a heavy expression.

“No, Your Majesty! When the Crown Prince and I arrived, it wasn’t the poor who attacked us, but trained knights.”

“What are you saying? Trained knights?”

There’s no time to hesitate like this.

But since the Emperor had already sent troops, I had to hurry to persuade him to change that order.

If not, Leoprick could get caught up in this and lose public support.

“It was the arrows of knights aimed at us, not the stones of the poor, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince is struggling, so we need to send troops quickly to assist him.”

And I added one more thing while looking at him.

“You didn’t hesitate for a moment to suspect Duke Lloyd Alois in the support project, did you? Why don’t you have any suspicions about this matter?”

Since when has Count Felice been such a trustworthy person?

At my words, the Emperor’s expression hardened.

The Empress beside him was the same.

Seeing this, I thought that perhaps neither of them would believe my words.

Something was strange.

No, why are they defending people they usually suspect so well?

It was when I was frowning with a dubious feeling.

“Count Felice was the one who informed us of this situation, Amelia.”

“Yes. If it were truly a rebellion, wouldn’t he have no need to come all the way here to explain this to us?”

The Empress spoke anxiously, with the face of a mother worried about her son.

Did they touch on the psychology of parents worried about their child?

But even so, the two of them now looked somewhat out of it.

They seemed a bit dreamy, and a bit drunk…

…No way.

As far as I knew, the Emperor and Empress didn’t enjoy drinking.

Not only did alcohol not agree with them, but their principle was that they couldn’t make proper decisions when drunk.

I remember hearing that they usually only had a drink or two to set the mood between them, but what’s with those eyes?

“Anyway, we’ve sent the Imperial Knights, and Duke Valois has sent troops too, so there’s nothing to worry about. Leoprick will be safe.”

“Yes, yes. I just hope the poor don’t get violent…”

“Don’t worry too much, Empress. Leoprick will return safely.”

“Is that so? When Leo returns, I think we should tell him to get rid of the slums this time. What’s the point of constantly helping people who aren’t even grateful?”

It was because of the couple’s conversation that I became certain that this sense of déjà vu was not just a simple suspicion.

The Emperor’s words that seemed to trust Duke Valois. And the Empress’s words about getting rid of the slums.

The two people I knew would never easily give such orders.

The Emperor who believed that since the nobles had mobilized private soldiers, they would cooperate well with the Imperial Knights, and the Empress who casually said to eliminate the slums because the people there were ungrateful.

Through that conversation, I thought that Count Felice must have done something.

So, I decided to play one step ahead of the Count.

“Then, Your Majesty, shall I tell the Imperial Knights who have just left to clear out the slums now?”

“…Do you think that would be good? I suppose it would look better to clean up while we’re at it.”

“Then could you lend me Your Majesty’s seal? I’m afraid the knights are a bit rigid, and they might only believe my words if I have Your Majesty’s seal.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. It would be reassuring if Amelia goes along.”

Ah. This is really not normal.

I had to try not to shudder at these strange sentences that I wasn’t sure were words or not, even as they came out of my mouth.

I need to finish this first and then bring in Count Felice.

I’ll have to torture him a bit to find out exactly what he did.

With such thoughts, I carefully received the seal that the Emperor took out.

“Then be careful on your way.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will handle it well according to your will.”

I received the seal like that and, after earnestly imploring Their Majesties to stay in the room just in case, I left the office.

When I came out, I saw the head servant and a few knights coming this way, as if they had been somewhere else until now.

I thought for a moment that the head servant might be in on it, but seeing him running breathlessly with a look of dismay on his face, maybe not.

“Your Highness! Are Their Majesties inside?”

“Hmm. Where have you been?”

“Ah, Count Felice said that His Majesty had gone that way… They are inside, right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

As I thought. Count Felice had planned this.

I showed the Emperor’s seal to the head servant and the knights, telling them not to move an inch from this spot.

“This is an urgent situation, so absolutely do not leave your posts. Understood?”

“Ah, didn’t you say that Their Majesties are inside?”

“That’s right. So neither should Their Majesties come out, nor should anyone other than myself or the Crown Prince be allowed in.”

No matter what happens, absolutely.

As I put strength in my eyes as if imploring them, the head servant and the knights nodded with resolute faces.

“Yes, Your Highness. Have a safe journey.”

“Good. I’m counting on you to watch the rear.”

With that, I dashed down the corridor again with the Emperor’s seal.

Thinking that once this is over, I really won’t let Count Felice off the hook.

[This is the timeline separator]

The situation improved somewhat after Zero arrived, but the fact that those they were confronting were powerless citizens remained unchanged.

Leoprick looked at the mercenaries Zero had brought from the merchant group and quietly gestured for Zero to come over.

“How many mercenaries did you bring?”

“About 150. Not many, but they’re not bad in skill.”

A hundred and fifty.

Since he had brought about fifty with him when he came here, Leoprick thought that might be enough to try the gamble he was considering.

“For now, the biggest problem is that the citizens are being held hostage over there. Of course, my aide is there too.”

“Gasp. Is Arnold there too?”

“Regrettably, that’s how it turned out.”

As Zero exclaimed in shock with wide eyes, Leoprick let out a sigh.

It had become a bit more complicated with Arnold being captured.

He continued his explanation to the surprised-looking Zero.

“So I was thinking, we don’t know exactly how many they have over there, do we?”

“That’s right. All we can see are the poor people and a few soldiers.”

What’s visible isn’t everything.

Moreover, they were hiding behind the poor people, using them as shields.

Duke Valois is not such a foolish person.

He must surely know that he can’t attack the Crown Prince using the slums as hostages with barely a hundred soldiers.

So if we rashly touch them now, we’ll likely be devoured by the remaining forces hiding.

The current force here is just over 200.

If we’re lucky and Amelia sends the knights, that number might increase a bit, but…

“So I think we need to find out how many soldiers they have first.”

“Do you have any clever ideas?”

We need to know roughly how many enemy troops there are to formulate an accurate strategy.

As Leoprick spoke in a low voice, Zero also lowered his voice and asked.

As he leaned in to listen to Leoprick, a few mercenaries behind him were seen leaning in as well.

Leoprick looked around and slowly opened his mouth.

“In my opinion…”

As he continued his explanation, the soldiers’ eyes began to shine.

This, there’s a chance of winning.

It seemed like hope was written in their eyes.
