Your Majesty--Eliza looked at me with a mischievous smile.
'I must confess, you startled me.
After checking the muffled sound, I decided that this process, with some real intentions, was okay.
"Why were you in town without an escort?
"Lord Carlyle always said that he was interested in you. I wanted to see who you are and what you think for once, regardless of your position.
"I see.
"Maybe Sir Carlisle was right about the great man. I can see why he sends me a letter once a month bragging about it.
"What are you doing, father!
I yelled out.
My father was slumped beside me.
"I just wanted to show you how wonderful Alec is, don't you?
"I don't mean to ask you to describe the content!
What are you really doing?
"But I'm really glad I did. You know my position. It's hard to hear the real truth when you're dressed up in authority.
It's ...... right.
"So I have a favor to ask of you,
"What is it?
Defeat.
"Defeat?
A disturbing word has come out of nowhere.
"How much do you know about the Prior Emperor ...... and my father?
Eliza asked me a question that is very difficult to answer.
I could jokingly tell you what I saw in the other world when I was reincarnated as a pauper.
Eliza interrupted me, hoping to silence me.
Maybe the next life would have been better if I had died sooner.
"Yes, I should have done what you say, 'I'll kill you early,' and that's all I had to do, Your Majesty.
What about it?
Due to the misrule of the previous emperor, small-scale rebellions have broken out in various parts of the empire. We're trying to put them down each time, but it's a game of cat-and-mouse.
Come to think of it, your father said something like that when you were born.
Maybe the inner workings of the empire are rather rickety.
"You've shown me your magic.
My father chuckled next to me, absolutely.
"We must quell the rebellion.
I understand.
"It's a quick answer.
If it's just a rebellion, but in this kind of thing, if you become a bandit, those people will continue to do bad things.
I see, you're right.
Eliza nods.
"Thank you. After we put down the rebellion, the land will be yours. Lord Carlisle asked me to give you the land.
Father ......
Staring at your father with disgusted eyes.
Really, that's enough.
Where do you want me to put down the rebellion, by the way?
"Do you know what a fairy hill is?
Yes, it's called the Kingdom of Heaven, a fertile land where dukes are downgraded to petty officials but still want to be sent, and where there is an astonishing amount of bribes flying around to do so--no way.
