Two days later, all the nobles living in the royal palace were gathered in the palace. Ostensibly, it was a summons by the king, but in reality it was the summons of Vizier Waldak.
　We, Prince Cloud and the Marquis de Coupe had also sneaked into the royal palace. As usual, they disappeared in the Invisible and were away from the nobles lined up in the audience room to check on them.
　At the head of the standing nobles was Waldak, a fearless smile on his face.
　One step below the throne, Prince Zabun was talking to Queen Dacia, seated beside the throne, with a sly look in his eyes.
　Suddenly the sound of a trumpet echoed through the buzzing audience.

''Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty.''

　Following the voice of the messenger, the buzzing nobles quieted down, and everyone took the opportunity to pay their vassal's respects. King Linier, who appeared, was about over 50 years old, tall like Prince Cloud, and somewhat unreliable looking. The king, wearing a bright red cloak, white robes and a gold crown, looks like a "king", and he sits on his throne with a golden king's tin in his hand.

The king sits on his throne, golden tin in hand. I'm thinking of handing over the throne and abdicating.

　The aristocrats began to buzz again at the sudden words of King Linier. Only three of them were unmoved. Needless to say, they were Vizier Waldak, Queen Dacia, and Prince Zabun. All three of them looked at the king with a common smile on their faces.

'I would like to announce the next king to everyone here. I will relinquish all official duties to his son and step down from the throne. The next heir to the throne is the First Prince of the Kingdom of Linie....

　The eyes of the nobles gathered on Prince Zaven. The skinny prince with the mushroom cut smiled with a smirk under the gaze of various speculations. 'But.

''First Prince, I yield the throne to Prince Cloud.
""What?"

　Three voices, even more astonished than the aristocrats' astonished voices, echoed through the audience room.
　I'll push Prince Cloud back as he unleashes the Invisible here.
　Cloud walks straight to the front of the throne, followed by the Marquis de Coupe, as if to escort him. We are only outsiders. Let's just watch them disappear for a while.

Hey, Cloud! You.........!

　Prince Cloud's sudden appearance confuses and confuses Zabun, but Prince Cloud bends his knee reverently before the king.

"I humbly accept, father. From now on, I will spare no effort to do more as king.
Mm. You're on.
'Wait a minute! What the hell is going on here, wow!

　Prince Zaven rambled. The nobles around him began to be dismayed by the sudden turn of events, and Waldak, the vizier, stepped forward from among them.

''Your Majesty! As you wish, Your Majesty, but according to the law of the land, the first prince should succeed to the throne. You can't twist that, even if you are the king...!
Well, that makes sense. That's why I'm handing the throne to Cloud. What did I tell you? "The First Prince of Linier abdicates his throne to Prince Cloud.
' Don't be ridiculous! The first prince is Zabun, sir! It would make sense for Zaven to be the king!

　Unable to resist, Queen Dacia, who was next to her, raised her voice. His Majesty the King heard this and started laughing funny, and soon he started laughing in a voice that echoed throughout the audience room. Queen Dacia takes a step back from the unusual king.

'Is that the way it's supposed to be, Dacia? How can you say that?

　King Leinie Shroff rose from his throne and stared at the queen with a sharp look in his eyes. There was no sign of the unreliable king, only angry eyes.

You all know what I'm talking about. "You all know of the new duchy that has been created between Belfast and Regulus, the Duchy of Brunhild. The Duchy of Brunhild. The duke was a silver-ranked adventurer who slaughtered an evil black dragon that had appeared in Mismid. He was also the one who put down the rebellion of the Regulus Empire and saved the Empire as well. He saved our country as well.
Your Majesty, over here!

　Prince Cloud calls me over, and we also deactivate Invisible and appear in front of everyone. Yae and Else follow on either side of me, while Amber, who has returned to white tiger mode, walks in front of me to lead me.

''King Brunhild. Would you be willing to show everyone here that thing you showed me that night?
Are you sure?
It's okay; I think this truth should be known, even if you think I'm a dumb man who's been tricked for 30 years.

　King Linier laughs to himself.

'I understand,'

　I take out my phone and project the image in the air. It's as big as a movie screen so all the people in the audience room can see it.

'What will the king do if I let Zaven take the throne?'
"I'm done with you. I don't mind if you die right now.
What is this?

　Both Waldak and Queen Dacia were flustered by the sudden appearance of themselves on the screen. Of course. They are discussing the assassination of the king.

''Your son and I will soon be the king of this country.
Yeah. A new royal family is born.
Stop! Stop this right now!

　Amber gives Waldak, who was about to run towards me, a glance and holds him down. The nobles gathered around the truth that was revealed buzzed.

'This is my non-attributional magic that allows me to record the events of that time and make them visible again. The conversation between you two was firmly watched by my messenger.
'Nonsense! Your Majesty, this is some kind of mistake...!

　Waldak tries hard to make excuses. Indeed, if this was the word of a loyal vassal, the king might not have believed this image. However, the other party was a wicked vassal who was threatening him. There was no way he could believe them.

"Mistake, huh, I should have known this 30 years ago. I must have looked ridiculous in your eyes. Would you have laughed at the sight of me treating your son as the first prince without knowing what he was doing, and being troubled by his actions?

　Waldak was stifled by the king's words. His gaze swam with oil sweat and his gaze was scurrying around, clearly losing his composure.
　In the end, this guy's power is only possible with a puppet called the king. The string of control called Queen Elia had broken, and now he was supposed to control a new puppet called Zabun. That's what happened. So that's what happened.

"Now that Elia has been rescued, I don't have any more reservations about you. "Waldak, I hereby revoke your position as Prime Minister. I am the king who should have given priority to his people, but for the past ten years I have done your bidding out of fear for Elia I will not be able to regret it. I am not qualified to be king. But you are not qualified to be the Prime Minister either.
Father...

　Prince Cloud gazed at the king, who was looking down in frustration, with an indescribable expression. Queen Dacia, who was next to the king, sat down powerlessly and was stunned.
　Originally, the incident was caused by this queen's infidelity. Unlike the world I was in, in this world where magic exists, it would be difficult to completely prevent such things from happening. In fact, I'm also intruding here in Invisible. Normally, this kind of thing might not be found out, because there is no DNA analysis.
　I'm not familiar with the monarchy, so I don't really understand it. If I was born in a country with a king, it would be different.
　If Brunhild can get by without me as a country, then it might be possible for the people to choose a president or a prime minister to take the leadership eventually. It might not be a bad idea for me to retreat to Babylon and live out the rest of my life.
　Well, I don't know what's going to happen in the future. It's not like I can look into the future like that Dr. Eloh is.
　And just as I was thinking about that, the idiot started screaming again.

'This stuff is going to come out! I'm the first prince! I will be king! We can't let Cloud be king! It wasn't Waldak and your mother who plotted the assassination! I didn't do it! It's not my business!
... "You really are a helpless idiot.

　I'm so disgusted that all I can do is sigh. The son screams that he had nothing to do with his mother's crime. I can only feel the selfishness and childishness of the man who only cares about himself. He's too stupid.

'Stupid! You have no right to speak for your petty little country's king! You stole the Duchess of Belfast from me, and you don't act like a bigot!
"Gravity.
Ughhhh?

　Weighted magic, the idiot prince, oops, he's already a prince. Hold the idiot to the floor. I sewed him to the ground like a toad that was hit by a car.
　I'm going to go crazy if I listen to this anymore. Does this guy not understand the situation at all? I sighed, and Prince Cloud called out to me.

''Your Majesty, can you break the spell?
Yeah, but...
Please.

　He deactivated "Gravity" at Prince Cloud's offer. Instantly, Zaven stood up vigorously and smiled thinly at Cloud.

'Well done, Cloud! You know it's best for me to be king! I'll forgive you for what you've done and give me the throne.
Shut up.

　Shaking with quiet anger, Prince Cloud stood in front of Zaven. Zaven's smile, which had been hemming and hawing, hardened, and a ray of sweat ran down his cheek. A fist is clenched in Cloud's slowly raised right hand.

''........Hey, what's with that hand? Are you trying to hit me! I will not allow you to hit me, my brother!
I never thought of you as my brother.

　Pow! And then the right fist, swung out with all his might, caught the idiot in the face and he fell to the floor with a hollowed out fist. Oh, it's decided.

That's it.

　Queen Dacia rushes to her son, who is lying on the ground with his nose bleeding. King Linier looked on with cold eyes.

"Do women like you still love their sons? I know. I love my son, too. Maybe you had no choice but to treat someone else's Cloud so coldly. I won't feel a thing for Zaven's beating either.

　All of Zabun's education and other matters were done by Waldak and Queen Dacia, and the king was not allowed to do anything about it.
　They met only a few times a year, and all they heard was rumors of misbehavior that had gone wrong. He tried to scold her, but Waldak prevented him from doing so, and he apparently never felt much affection for her as a parent and child.
　If only this had been raised with lots of contact and love. Even if he found out it was someone else's child, he wouldn't have looked at it so coldly.

''d*mn!''

　Waldak turns himself around to escape from the audience room. Whoa, you're not going to let him get away.

"Gravity.
Ughhhh?

　Bulldog crumples to the ground. But you have the same reaction as Zabun. That's what I'm talking about, a father and son.

We checked your house too. It looks like you've done some pretty nasty things. Bribery, embezzlement of public funds, smuggling. I've already given the evidence to His Majesty.
And those who followed them know it. Don't think you can get away with it now.

　The Marquis of Coupe glared at the buzzing nobles. There were several of them who blatantly looked away or had their gazes swimming.

''........Shameful. I am responsible for everything. They let me do as I pleased and I couldn't do anything about it. It would be better for the people if Cloud became king rather than me. I'm sorry to impose on you to clean up after yourself, but...
What are you talking about, father? I know that I have my faults. If that's the case, please feel free to reprimand me.
"Cloud I'm sorry...

　There were tears in the king's eyes as he took his only son's hand and fell on his face. That's good. Now Prince Cloud, who had lived a shady life, would be happy.

'Don't be silly! This country is mine! You're all going to die! Hey, guards! Kill them! I'm going to reward you!

　Zabun stood up with a bloody nose and shouted loudly. Are those guys, including the king? Naturally, no one obeyed his or her orders, and his or her voice just echoed through the air.

''It's kind of pathetic when it comes to this, that it is.......''
Absolutely. It just goes to show you how important it is to raise your children properly.

　Indeed. I wish this was my son...ugh, it gives me chills.

'You're unseemly. You are no longer my son and you are no longer my prince. Who would obey such a man? Instead, look at what you've done.

　Zaven's face turns red and his teeth just barely grit his teeth at the King's ultimatum. As he looked into Waldak's misdeeds, he also found out everything this idiot had ever done.
　There were many women who had been tossed around, townspeople who had been killed for the fun of it, and people who had been forcibly kidnapped and made into slaves. He had beaten parents who had cried and begged for forgiveness, and had even humiliated his daughter in front of them.
　There was not the slightest feeling of having done anything wrong. She has no remorse and no regret. I guess he thinks he is right and the other person is wrong, no matter what he says.
　He is a spoiled fool. What is the need to show mercy to a guy like this?

His Majesty King Linier. What do you intend to do with these three men?
For the crimes, they'll all get the death penalty. There's no point in making up for it. We will be shamed by the rest of the world, and that's just what we'll have to accept.

　After being tricked and cheated on by the queen, he treated the child as a prince, and the vizier had real power over the country. A good laugh, to be sure. But if you're willing to accept that as an indulgence, I won't say anything.

Why do I have to be put to death? Don't be silly!

　Zaven is still ranting and raving. I can't stand to see that anymore. For goodness sake, shut up.

You're the one who's kidding me. "Who are you kidding, now that you've been rewarded for all your hard work? You're not a prince anymore, you're a criminal. No one is going to protect you. Admit it for goodness sake.
'Shut up, shut up, shut up! You! I'll kill you for sure! You're gonna pay for that! I'm going to mess up your country and your woman!
........huh?

　He shot through the back of Zaven's right leg with the Brunhild that he slowly pulled out. The real bullet penetrated and blood poured out of the tip of his right foot. What did you just say?

'Gyahhhh!

　Zaven collapses while holding his shot out right leg. Shut up. Don't talk so loud.

What do you...!
"You're going to mess up something I care about, aren't you? You think you can keep a guy like that alive?

　Another shot, this time into the back of his left leg.

'Ughhhh! No, no, no! Ouch, ouch! Don't kill me. I don't want to die!
'You laughed and killed the innocent townspeople who told you so, you know. Do you think you can be forgiven?

　He held Zaven's right arm, which was twitching in fear, with his foot and shot a third shot into its instep.

'Geez!

　Gulp, and whether it was from the pain or the fear of death, Zaven passed out easily.
　I'm going to cast a recovery spell on the idiot and heal his wounds. I wasn't going to kill you in the first place. I just shot him in the face because I was sick of it. That's all. It's not my job to punish him.
　This guy is going to hell for sure, but I don't think a quick death sentence is going to satisfy the people whose lives were ruined by this idiot. Well, let's leave that part to Prince Cloud, or rather, the new King Linier.

'I'm sorry. I'm sorry, it was out of line.

　He turns around and bows to the former King Linier.

'No, Zaven needs to pay for what he has done. I said the death penalty, but I'll leave it up to Cloud to decide what to do. I'm not the king anymore, you know.
Guards! Take these three men to the dungeon!

　Hearing the new king's voice, the guards who came bouncing in, restrained the three of them. Just the other day, they were ignoring Cloud all over the place.

''Are you alright, Winter Night?''
I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted.

　When that idiot told me he was going to mess up the duchy and Else and the others, I couldn't help but feel a little bloated. There was no way that guy had that kind of power.
　It was the same when I was tangled up with the young knights in Belfast, but when someone says something about everyone around me rather than me, I lose my temper. I don't mean to have a temper. I need to be more level-headed.
　I was thinking about this as I watched the three of them being taken into custody and taken to the dungeon.
