　The first prince of the race, Claw, was doing paperwork in his office in the capital's castle, which is more the size of a slightly larger mansion than a castle.

　It was as if he was practicing to become the racial king in the future.

....... What are you making a fuss about, you little kid?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was working diligently on paperwork, but there was a strange noise outside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was as if there were multiple children running around the hallway, having a great time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey, go out and pay attention.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Awe."

　Clough directs his aides to help him with his work.

　The entourage is somewhat annoyed by the interruption of their paperwork and thinks about giving the source a stern lecture.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--But there was no need for him to go out into the hallway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The source of the noise was headed straight for his office.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There was a knock at the door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The aide, who was just going out of the room, opens the door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh wow!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the door opens slightly, someone approaching the office forcefully opens the door, and then enters the room more vigorously, bumping into the entourage. The aide is pushed straight into the room and screams.

　Clough, who had been watching the situation for some time, attempted to yell and reprimand the person who entered in such a way as to injure his entourage, but he could not raise his voice immediately, and instead fell into confusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was rather confused because the door was opened by a group of racial soldiers, fully armed from head to toe, who came crashing into his office.

(Urgent problem?　You've come to report in a hurry because another nation of another species has invaded!　Or maybe there was an assassin-like invasion of the castle!　(Or--)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Clough thinks in his brain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there was no correct answer in his mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith, the first princess of the race, appears as if escorted from behind a group of well-equipped soldiers.

Lilith?"

　The appearance of his own sister freezes Claw's consciousness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is too early for her to be back from the Duchy of Six, and she has no idea what it means to be riding into the Oval Office with armed soldiers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Claw is confused, Lilith tells him matter-of-factly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'As Queen Lilith of the Kingdom of the Races, I command you. Put down your pens and follow us maturely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Queen?"　What a joke. It is not funny at any price, and it is disrespectful to call oneself a queen when His Majesty the King is still alive. Even if she is your own daughter, there are certain things that are right and wrong to say.

He said, "Brother, I am not joking. I have received the approval of three out of the five non-racial kingdoms, that is, more than a majority, and I have abolished your father, the former king, and assumed the position of queen of the racial kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The claw also understands that the king of a racial kingdom cannot decide for themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, he has been making efforts to be the next king, thinking that he, who is more obedient than Lilith, who is rebellious to other countries, should be the next king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Despite this, Lilith is acting like a queen who has been accepted by the other kingdoms and enthroned, and her armed soldiers are following her lead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Claud's confusion intensified, and at the same time, a bad feeling caressed his back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He got up from his chair and turned to Lilith.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You've received approval from three countries?　That's impossible. Quit lying. It's not possible for them to abolish your father, who has never caused any problems, and to make Lilith, who has no achievements, the queen. Lilith, I don't know what you are trying to do with this elaborate prank, but enough of this or I will be seriously offended as your brother!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Dear brother,...... it's all true. Otherwise, why would I be here when I should still be in the Principality?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did you return alone before the ...... meeting started?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how much you can travel by river down to the principality, it is not possible to travel to and from the racial kingdom capital in one day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Lilith pointed out, during the Six Principality Conference, it is agreed that "the king's relatives are to be taken as assistants to those in charge during the conference & as replacements in case of emergencies. This unspoken rule only applies to the racial kingdom, and the role of the king's relatives, so to speak, is that of hostages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In spite of this, it is impossible for her to be here, since she is supposed to be in the principality. If she broke the agreement, it would be a big problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If she was here and there was no problem, then either she left the meeting early because ...... Lilith had been crowned queen and was no longer treated as a hostage, or she got some help and moved here at high speed after the meeting was over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Claw was upset by this fact and finally understood his position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Bah, silly, that's not normal!　How come Father, who has never caused any problems, is abolished and Lilith, who has no accomplishments, is enthroned as Queen!　The other species would never agree!　Is it because your father went into hiding in the Principality!　But even if that were the case, wouldn't it be the right thing to hold another meeting and nominate me as king? ...... I would have been king no matter what!　What the hell happened in the Principality? ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The second half leaks out, not to Lilith, but to himself, as if asking a question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But his question to himself was broken by the voice of a third party.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lilith, why don't you get on with capturing that man?　We have already seen the results, so further questioning is a waste of time."

!　The Witch of the Giant Tower ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A girl wearing a hood over her head and a sorceress-like costume appears behind Lilith and her friends.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Further behind her appeared the party of "black clowns" who had gone to the principality as her escort.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The clowns are no fools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" is the answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

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

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Brother ......, it is outrageous that you have sold out your country. It was rather your brothers who sold out the people. I only borrowed the help of the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower. I don't remember selling the country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith's denials do not faze Claw, who is incensed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you have enlisted the help of witches to fulfill your reckless desires, so be it!　I was really supposed to be the king!　That's what I've been working so hard for!　We have responded to every offer from other species, every request to send our people as slaves. We have also accepted the amount of goods in trade as we were told. It is for the future of our race!　So why can't I be king when I sold my people into slavery because I was told that I needed the approval of other countries in order to become king!　I've worked so hard for this!　It's not right!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's your brother who is crazy. Is that effort to sell your people as slaves to other countries, and to buy cheaply the products of your people's efforts?　All of your brother's efforts are for you to become king. You talk about the future of the race, but what is the future after selling the people of your own country?　You should be ashamed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, what's wrong with me trying to be king!　I have been watching this racial kingdom since I was born. We are livestock!　Then there is such a thing as living as livestock, isn't there?　I rebelled as a child and as a young man, but the world didn't accept that. I tried to negotiate with other species, but they wouldn't listen to me. That's because I don't have the power!　Then what's wrong with me being king if nothing changes!　What's wrong with being at the mercy of other countries!　Lilith, it's fine for you to snigger and talk about your childish desires alone. But you are no different. We are helpless!　Even if you did, it would only hasten their extinction. If you fail, even the species itself will be destroyed!　Because if that happens, it's all your fault!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it will not be destroyed. Rather, I stood up to win a bright future for our race. Brother, please do not make false accusations without my permission."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Siblings exchange words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A wide and deep gulf lay between their opinions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this is not the place for talk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith stares straight at her brother as if shooting straight through him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

To prove that my actions were right, I need you to step aside. The military is already in control. No one will come in to help you. So please, do not resist and obey me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lilith, I will get my throne back. The racial kingdom will remain as it is!　In order to keep the race alive and to protect my face, ...... I will definitely take the throne. Even if it's you, my sister."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Claw, too, understood that a reversal was impossible at this point, and left the words with no resistance but with plenty of murderous intent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith, unmoved by the declaration from her own brother, signals to the soldiers to take Claw into custody. She signals to the soldiers to take Claw into custody and take him away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naturally, Claud's aides were also detained and taken into custody.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lillith said, "I think it's appropriate to dispose of ...... that thing before it causes any trouble."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" presents Lilith with the simplest solution to Claw, who has not yet given up on regaining the throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her escort, Dirk, frowns under his mask as if to say, "You're out of line," but since his expression is physically blocked, the Witch of the Gigantic Tower does not notice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lilith is silent for a moment, then tells the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" her opinion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She then says after a slight pause, "...... No, it is not good to murder my brother. That should be a last resort."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this point, there are probably a few people who support Claw.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even so, he had been forced to take the throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no point in going to the trouble of creating an element that will drag him down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" had no further interest, so she shrugged lightly and said nothing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilith turned to the remaining soldiers and, as queen, gave them instructions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lilith looked back at the remaining soldiers and gave them her instructions as queen: "We were able to capture your brother without letting him escape, which was our primary goal. Next, we have a lot of work to do, such as securing important documents, national treasures showing the throne, and raiding important facilities. Make sure we seize every single one of them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The soldiers raise their spirited voices and begin to move in accordance with their prearranged roles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A turbulent day in the racial kingdom had just begun.
