It was only a few days later that a messenger arrived from the Lamaronic Empire to Linos. The letter stated that Madeline, the Prime Minister, was seriously ill.

When Rinos saw the messenger in the audience chamber, he merely expressed his sincere wishes for the vizier's recovery. This was because the man who sent the message did not show the slightest sign of sadness or impatience.

After receiving Linos's words, the messenger told him that he would return to Japan immediately and left the place.

"I wonder if that country will be in turmoil if Prime Minister Madryn is ill..."

Linos mutters to Rico, who is sitting on the throne next to him. She was looking over a letter from Lamaron, closing her eyes and pretending to think about something.

"Perhaps ...... there won't be any confusion."

"And if so, this letter can be found at ......."

"It may be true that he is ill, ...... but to say that he is seriously ill with no idea of tomorrow may be a bit of an exaggeration."

"I wonder why Lamaron sent this letter."

"It's ....... Agartha may be sending a message that she wants you to stay out of it."

"Huh?"

"If Prime Minister Madril really was seriously ill, I'm sure Lamaron would keep that fact from the public. If the Prime Minister who is in charge of the government of the country is seriously ill, there will be many who will try to take advantage of that. ......"

"Indeed, yes. Even so, Lamarron is in a state of political instability. At a time like this, it would be unacceptable to say that Prime Minister Madrin has fallen. If it gets out, the nobles will ...... be all over it.

"Yes. Perhaps they are trying to flush out those who are involved in the rebellion by releasing this information. I think they sent a messenger to Agartha to deceive the enemy.

"...... I see. If he is really very sick, it is natural to send an emissary to Agartha, our ally."

"Linos."

"Yes, Rico?"

"Lamaron is not an ally of Agartha. Lamaron is a vassal state of Agartha.

"No, I don't think so, but ......"

You may not think so, but other nations believe that Ramallon belongs to Agartha. At least, Lamaron itself considers itself a tributary of Agartha. That's because they were defeated in the last battle: ....... After the defeat, he ceded a part of his territory to Agartha and has remained as a nation ever since. It is the law for a defeated nation to follow the victor unconditionally. ....... Linos, you have a word with Falco, the king of the empire. If you say that no objections will be accepted, the problem is ostensibly solved.

"Hmmm. I've never thought of Lamaron as a tributary state. I always thought of it as an equal ally. ....... I guess I'm not thinking straight.

"No. No. A king like you is rare. There is only one such king in all of history, in all of the East and West, and that is Linos. ...... who does not intervene in Lamaron's affairs and in some cases even provides aid. It's just ......"

"Just what?"

"The kindness of Linos has been conveyed to Prime Minister Madriline and Commander Almond, but not to the nobles, it seems. Instead, they see you as a foolish king and look down on you."

"Leave them alone, they're just that kind of people."

"But they have hidden power. ....... If the nobles of Ramallon don't change, that country is doomed to a long, slow death.

"Rico, you say the same thing as Prime Minister Madriline."

"That's true. No country run by people who think only of their own interests has ever survived. History has proven that. I, for one, do not want Lamaron to fall. It is the home of Mato. ......"

"Lamaron is rich in mineral resources. It is thanks to Ramallon that the Dwarven workshops that Sidi now attends produce a variety of products and generate enormous profits. Thanks to that country, the treasury of Agartha is enriched. The workshops also produce powerful weapons. That country is indeed a lifeline for Agartha. If that country were to be destroyed, Agartha would be in trouble in many ways, is that one of the reasons?"

"Sorry, sorry. No, thanks to Rico, we know how we're going to move forward. Thank you. I'm really glad you were there for me.

At Linos' words, Rico slowly bowed his head.

Meanwhile, in the Lamaron Empire, Prime Minister Madrin was lying in bed. In front of him stands a young man dressed like a merchant, smiling and laughing.

"...... what's so funny?"

Madolyn coughs bitterly and glares at the man. But the man does not flinch at all and slowly opens his mouth.

"After all the warnings I gave you, the Prime Minister did not pay any attention to you. It's my own fault."

"Hun ....... I was warned. In fact, I'm still alive. I lie here not because of the poison. I have a cold.

"Ha ha ha!　That's a funny thing to say. The Prime Minister, who has never had a cold in his life, suddenly caught a cold and fell asleep. ....... In a way, that would be more shocking to the nobility.

Madeline bent her mouth into a grunt and looked away from the man with a pout. She did not say it out loud, but it was true that she had been caught off guard.

Through Commander-in-Chief Almond's men, he knew that Mama Juliette was planning an assassination attempt. Moreover, they knew that she was planning to use tasteless and odorless poison. Almond had secretly sent a warder belonging to the Imperial Army to his side. This was the man ...... Pirna in front of him.

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

Pirna was ostensibly working as a bureaucrat for the Prime Minister, but in reality, he was working alongside him to keep the wards in place.

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

He was an excellent warder. He filled the inside of the warding with air and completely blocked the air from the outside. Not only that, he even made it so that poisonous things could not enter the ward. Almond had dispatched a man who could be called his own treasured son for the Prime Minister.

The warding was put up when the Prime Minister went out of the room. This was because Pirna did not have enough magic power to keep the wards up for 24 hours.

Madeline did not feel well that day. Even when he was working in his room, his stomach kept rumbling. Eventually, he had a gentle bowel movement. But he was struggling with some papers he had to finish. If he stopped now, he might forget what was floating around in his head. If possible, he wanted to go to the washroom after finishing this.

However, he was immediately hit by a strong urge to have a bowel movement. He held it in until the very last minute, but finally got up and started to run toward the washroom.

"Prime Minister, please wait!

In spite of Pirna's voice, the Prime Minister opened the door of the washroom and entered immediately. Immediately after that, he felt a loud ringing in his ears. He reflexively held his breath, quickly took a bath, and got out of the bathroom. He then took a deep breath of the air in the room. Immediately after that, he felt dizzy and fell to his knees.

"I didn't realize that the hand-wash had been poisoned," he said. How could the Prime Minister have done his business in such a place? Normally, he would have gone to the other side before doing his business.

"Hey. That's not going to kill me.

"When you collapsed, you told me to immediately declare myself seriously ill. Prime Minister, you are quite the theatrical person!

"Now let's see how the nobles react. I'll stay here for a while and see what happens. I'll be counting on you.

Pirna smiled and nodded at the Prime Minister's words.
