　Rumi's face was twisted after a long time.

　When she saw my face, she burst into my chest with tears streaming down her face.

"You, please listen to me!　Please listen to me!"

"What's the matter, Roomie? I'll listen to anything you want to tell me."

　I had never seen Rumi with such passion. He was far less in control of his emotions than Raviara ever was.

"I ...... heard from the messenger that my brother might attack you. So did the other wives.

"Oh. I've heard some disturbing stories from the secret service.

　We have already notified Maust Castle to be prepared for any eventuality. Serafina and Fleur are fully motivated. We can rely on them more than we can on a general with no backbone.

　So, of course, Rumi must have heard about this.

"So I ...... rode alone to my brother, His Majesty. I wonder if the rumors are true?"

"What?

　Rumi's words took me by surprise.

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

　Rumi's expression was a mixture of frustration and anger. He was angry at his brother in King's Landing.

"Rumi, you haven't even given birth that many days ago. Was your body all right?"

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

"It wasn't that bad. At least I haven't been sick to this day."

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

　It is true that a sick person would never show such emotion.

"I spoke to His Majesty one-on-one. I told him that I wanted to talk to him more as brother and sister than as His Majesty. My brother agreed.

　I saw Hasse's confused face in my mind. I guess he didn't expect his sister to be there.

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

"So my brother said. If you continue like this, there will be no one in the kingdom who can stop you. Then, even if you destroy the former king, the kingdom of Thirlwil may be destroyed after all. I'm thinking of doing something before that happens.

　That's exactly the kind of information they were planning to use to avenge me.

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

The information is not yet public. There is no royal decree to avenge the traitor. If word spread now that such an order has been issued, you might switch sides to the former king. But I have come to realize that there is no good future awaiting me even if I continue to serve my brother.

"Rumi, how did you get here?"

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

"I told my brother. I told him I was on my way to my husband. He said if I wanted to kill him, I should send someone after him. My child is in the castle of Maust, in the care of a nanny. I have nothing to fear."

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

　Rumi said this with strong eyes.

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

　I'm sure he would have looked like that in front of Hasse, too.

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

"And as a result, you have made it to this Yagmouri castle without any pursuers coming after you? ......

　Raviara, who was in the room, asked with a stunned look on her face.

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

"Yes, that's right. My brother must have been reluctant to kill me.

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

　Rumi replies with a look that says, "Of course.

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

　I couldn't help but gush.

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

"Rumi, you are the perfect woman for my wife. I'm so lucky to have such a strong woman for a wife. I wonder if fate will bring me the right woman."

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

　My wife asked the king directly and got the word that he was willing to attack me. Now I know what I have to do.

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

　This Hasse man is not fit to be king.

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

　He told Rumi something he shouldn't have and left it at that. He made the worst move. He couldn't tell a lie and he couldn't cut off his sister in cold blood.

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

　It's over for the house of Serwil. He is not a good king. It is not the time for such an incompetent king to rule.

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

"Thank you, Rumi. I'm ready. I can do what needs to be done without worrying."

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

　I hugged Rumi again.

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

"You must be tired from your long trip. Take the rest of the day off. This castle will soon be the greatest fortress in the land. Not a single soldier will enter it while I'm gone.

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

"Yes. I am glad to have done my part.

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

　Rumi looked genuinely relieved. It was as if a thread of tension had been broken.

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

"Compared to the other wives, I was helpless. I hope I have been of some help.

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

"Yes, it's the best thing I've ever done."

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

　Shortly thereafter, a messenger arrived from King's Landing, addressed to me.

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

　The content of the message was that there could be no doubt of the regent's falsity. The message was a simple one that I should continue to do my utmost to attack the former king.

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

　In other words, he wanted to keep the plan to pincer me secret from the public.

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

　But Hasse told his sister his true intentions.

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

　And he brought her to me. I didn't have the courage to kill her.

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

　But when Rumi dies a suspicious death, there's nothing to hold me back anymore.

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

　Thank God Hasse is a dark fool.

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

　I immediately called a meeting of my men.

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

　There was only one thing on the agenda.

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

"Cross over to the Giant Isles and attack the Talmudic lands. We will destroy the former king. We've been waiting a long time, but now we're ready to move.

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

　The generals, their blood rushing to their voices at the sound of my voice, shouted in valor.

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

　Especially the captain of the Red Bear Squadron, Olcus Bright, who said, "We can finally go and crush the Giant Islanders! He was as happy as a child with a toy. The SS would be out of a job without a war.

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

　If I don't send out my men, Hasse will have a hard time sending out my retinue.

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

　You can do as you please. I'll crush the former king's army while you're waiting.

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

"While I'm out, some may try to attack this Yagmouri castle. This castle will be defended by returning Kerala from the occupied territories.

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

　I somehow understood why Oda Nobunaga looked so reluctant. She is a woman who has Mitsuhide Akechi as her profession. It might seem suicidal to leave the castle in her hands and sail across the sea.

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

"And one more thing, my wife Rumi will protect you."

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

　My words sounded like a joke, especially to Olks, who laughed out loud. Rayon of the White Eagle Squadron even chided me.

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

"I think it's a pretty good idea," he said.

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

　Kerala would never do anything to betray Rumi. As a chaperone, she's perfect.

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

　After all, they're both women who love me.
