"This country is in the midst of an unprecedented cormorant crisis. And I don't think it's necessary for me to tell you why.
　As he said that, Ryoushin stared at the surroundings.
　The gleam in his eyes was meant to be a denunciation and condemnation of the nobles' rule.
　In fact, the rule of the nobles in this Roselia Kingdom is quite harsh.
　It's not uncommon for a good-looking commoner to fall prey to the poisonous fangs of a lord or his relatives after being noticed by them.
　One of them was a daughter who was about to get married.
　By the way, in various parts of the world, including medieval Europe, there was apparently a system called the wedding night right or something similar.
　On the wedding night, a priest or authority figure would have intercourse with the bride before the groom did.
　Whether this is just a trivial gossip or an unseen dark part of human history is not clear.
　There is no clear primary source for this story.
　Various interpretations have also hampered our understanding of the system.
　Some say it's a way for the powerful to show off their power, others say it's an element of witchcraft, and still others think it's a type of tax intended to make the groom pay a fine.
　Justice and morality are different in different times and climates.
　However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the work of a devilish outsider from the point of view of modern society.
　Of course, it is true that this is only one page in a vast amount of history.
　However, that's just the way it is for most of the people living in modern society...
　The life of the commoners living in the Earth World was not much different from that of the Middle Ages.
　The life of the commoners living in the earth world was not much different from that of the Middle Ages, or perhaps even more so if it was done poorly.
　And the people of the earth world who lived in such harsh conditions were neither saints nor fools.
　Indeed, they hadn't chosen to openly rebel against the bereaved families.
(Because they were reminded that in front of the nobles who had acquired the supernatural power of legal arts, there was no point in a mere commoner rebelling with a weapon in his hand.
　But it's not that they don't have any complaints, nor do they willingly accept the miserable situation they are in.
　They are simply putting up with the arrogance and tyranny of the ruling class, the aristocracy, by keeping their mouths shut because they are weak.
　It is precisely because they believe that this is the way to protect their lives and property, as well as those of their families, that they endure it in the same way that they wait for the storm to pass.
　But patience is just that, patience.
　Dissatisfaction with the ruling class, which has nowhere to vent its frustration, has always smoldered in the depths of their own hearts.
　From parent to child, from child to grandchild. The anger and hatred of the oppressed have been handed down from generation to generation.
　And the turmoil in the kingdom caused by the turmoil in the government has rekindled their smoldering fire.
(The question is whether or not they'll understand that, but frankly, it's a long shot.
　It's a good thing that Ryoushin's untrue heart is that if he was the kind of person who could understand that, he wouldn't have become like this in the first place.
　It is an undeniable fact that the root cause of the current chaos in the Roserian Kingdom is the tyranny practiced by the aristocrats.
　However, the aristocrats are not so naive as to curtly admit their own faults when pointed out by the newly minted aristocrats at this point in time.
　As expected, the reaction to Ryoma's words, which could be described as passionate, can only be described as cold.
''It's true that our country is in a state of confusion. As Baron Mikoshiba says, the cause of the confusion is also obvious. However, the causes that we think of and the causes that Baron Mikoshiba thinks of are not necessarily the same, are they?
　When he said that, the Marquis of Halcyon turned his meaningful gaze to the surroundings.
　No one would be able to understand the meaning of that gaze.
　In other words, it's shifting the blame.
　However, Marquis Halcyon's words are not completely off the mark either.
　In the end, it comes down to which point of view and position one takes to say things.
　Is it from the perspective of a nobleman or from the perspective of a human being?
　And many of the people here were creatures called nobles before they were people.
''I agree with the Marquis Halcyon's opinion. And if I may say so, the fact that the turmoil in the country, whether it is real or not, has nothing to do with your responsibility for the fact that you attacked and destroyed the Countess of Salzberg and the other ten northern families. What do you think, Baron Mikoshiba?　If you say you can claim legitimacy, I'd love to hear your heroes' dictates.
　Count Eisenbach, an influential member of the House of Lords, challenged Liangzhen.
　His words were met with one voice of approval after another.
　It could be called a veritable storm of abuse.
　In their attitudes, Ryoma felt dismay and resignation at the fact that his prediction had come true.
(As expected, or is it as expected...)
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
　It's also unique in that the real power of the king is quite limited.
　Since the time of the previous king, Queen Lupis' father, they have been trying to get power back to the royal family little by little, but it must be said that the road to that end is endlessly far away.
　After all, the power of the aristocratic class is strong and large in this country.
　On top of that, for better or worse, this is a country that places a high value on tradition and formality.
　After all, it has a history of more than five hundred years.
　To them, there was no awareness of changing the status quo.
　For most of the nobles, a lord's people were nothing more than property used to enrich their lives.
　In other words, they are on a par with livestock.
　And whether the cattle were disgruntled or not, they didn't pay any attention to them.
(The same...? Well, I guess so. There's no way they're going to buy it now.)
　The only way they will truly understand the hatred and anger that the commoners have is if their anger explodes and they are on the brink of having their own and their family's heads cut off.
(And the aim of the unseen enemy is to instill anger towards the noble class in the commoners and disrupt the country... well, it's a bit of a white-hot thing for me to say, having seen through that plan and used it... And since it's not a lie that there's a lot of problems with the way these guys operate I guess we'll just have to convince them that they deserve what they get.
　Ever since he was moved left to the Woltenia Peninsula, Ryoma has been scheming in various ways until today.
　However, he has never set a fire of his own volition.
　All Ryoma did was pour a little bit of oil on the fire.
　Even so, it's not like he did it out of his own free will, but rather he was just trying to overturn the plan of someone somewhere gloating in the darkness of this Roselia Kingdom.
　And that has only one purpose.
　It was nothing more than to protect his own life and that of his companions from danger as the fire grew stronger and more out of control without his knowledge.
(Well, that doesn't stop the agitated commoners, no matter whose intentions it was for them to dance and shed blood, and it's the same for the ruling class of this country, including Queen Lupis.
　I'm not sure that Ryoma wants Queen Lupis and the people in the House of Lords to understand his reasoning, nor do I think he can.
　It's a good thing that people only believe in what they want to believe and dismiss what they don't want to believe as non-existent.
　You'll be able to see that the nobles' emotions will not accept the truth, no matter how much a person who hates them as an upstart tells the truth.
　If you tell them about the existence of a mysterious organization that works behind the scenes on the western continent, they won't listen to you.
　Of course, that's fine with me.
　If that is the decision of the nobles, then there is no need for Ryoma to say anything about it.
　But if that decision causes the rights and interests of Ryoma and his friends to be violated, that's a different story.
(The organization........huh? Whatever their aim is, they probably want warfare........like the merchants of death on earth?　(It sounds like a comic book or novel setting...)
　As the saying goes, reality is stranger than fiction, and apparently that saying applies in this other world as well.
　The question is, who are the minions of that organization?
(From what I heard from His Majesty Julianus, that old man is the prime suspect..............................
　A man's face appears in Ryoma's mind.
　The face of a middle-aged man with a good-natured smile on his face.
　However, it is clear that Ryoma felt a sense of disrepute from the moment he first met her.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　Of course, there is no hard evidence of this in the current situation.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say.
　But if Ryoma's intuition is correct, it suggests that the hand of the organization is reaching inside the royal palace of the Roselia Kingdom.
(It's no use trying to reason with people who won't listen to you.
　It would be the perfect opportunity to turn the tide, as the curses and ridicule of the nobles had also weakened in momentum.
　That's why Ryoma showed one big sigh of relief.
　Then he lightly cowered his shoulders.
I've heard your complaints and anger. It's really unfortunate, but it seems that you and I are on a parallel track. Perhaps there is no point in further conversation.
　Depending on how you listen to it, it may indeed be an irresponsible word.
　Sure enough, one of the aristocrats who got into the swing of things started to get up from his chair to shout at Ryoma.
''What are you........''
　But when the nobleman spoke his hips from his chair, he stopped getting up.
　Then, he swallowed the curses that were coming out to his throat.
　He was pressured by Ryouma's gaze, which was a far cry from the previous one, which was filled with a killing spirit.
　Perhaps that is the difference between being a human being and one who knows the battlefield and one who has been sitting on his position.
　The aristocrats around them must have understood that instinctively as well.
　To those aristocrats, Ryojin opened his mouth again.
''Therefore, why don't we ask our king to appear before you and ask your mind about this matter?　Hey, His Majesty Lupis Roselianus!　
　With those words, everyone in this hall was speechless for words.
''What nonsense........''
　Such words spilled out from one of the nobles.
　That's how much Ryouma's words were a request that could be called out of the ordinary for the nobles of this Roselia Kingdom.
　However, Ryoma did not overlook it.
　It's a good thing that the Marquis of Halcyon's reaction was only slightly different while everyone around him was lost for words.

　Realizing that his own prediction was correct, Ryoma cut a further blade of words.
''Or can't you even show your face in front of me?　You're going to admit your faults without a word to each other?
　It was certainly not a word to the king of a country, I'm sure.
　But no one here could blame him for that.
　And finally, the door was opened.
　The first thing I saw was a knight with long black hair fluttering down.
　Their attire is heavily armed, as if they are about to go into battle.
　In addition, the sword, which was originally only allowed to those who belonged to the House of Lords, is still strapped to his waist.
　Normally, a knight would have to be severely punished, no matter what his or her status.
　But more problematic than such a female knight was the woman who appeared to be led by her.　
''Your Majesty why are you here........''
　I don't know who it was who said those words.
　However, those words represented the hearts of most of the nobles present here.
　It was a scene that was supposed to be impossible.
　It is true that the House of Lords is part of the royal castle, but it is unthinkable for the king to visit it himself.　
　However, the Marquis of Hamilton quickly got up from his chair and knelt down on one knee to show his respect to his master.
　The nobles who were stunned by the unexpected appearance of Queen Lupis quickly followed suit.
　And it was the same for Ryoma, who called out Queen Lupis by name.
''It's been a long time.......Baron Mikoshiba......you can look up.
　There was a hint of bitterness in those words.
　Nevertheless, it was a permission given by the king, Queen Lupis.
　Following Queen Lupis' words, Ryoma slowly raised his face, which had been down, and raised it.
