Chapter 59: Lending and borrowing and selling countries.

“I see, you’ve taken the curse of the oath to your advantage.”

Raidorl was in his mansion in the royal capital of the Kingdom of Zain.

Raidorl nodded as if he was impressed by the letter sent from the royal palace.

The letter, stamped with the state seal, is an official decree from the king to conquer the nobles of the kingdom who have turned to the Empire of Alsatian.

Since they are already on the side of the Empire, Raidorl, who is pledged to fight against the Empire, cannot refuse the order.

Moreover, as traitors, they are not trusted by the Empire, and even if the Kingdom purges them, the Empire will not interfere strongly.

“What will you do, Master? If you lift the curse, you can refuse the order.”

The maid, Neimilia, tilted her head and asked.

She picked up the teapot and as she brewed the tea in her cup, she tilted her head and looked at her master.

She seemed to be concerned that the curse she had woven was putting Raidorl at a disadvantage.

“I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that if you lift the curse, it will also lift the curse on Granard. There are more disadvantages to lifting the curse at this point than there are advantages.”

Raidorl replied as he picked up the teacup that was placed in front of him.

The curse on the king and the curse on himself are two in one. If one of them is lifted, the other will naturally disappear as well.

And if one of them breaks the vow, great misfortune will befall.

The curse is so powerful that even a court magician cannot easily lift it, because they’re betting their life on it.

“So, you’re taking a break from being an adventurer for a while? I was just starting to enjoy it.”

The last person in the room to interrupt the conversation was Célia Von Althlein.? Dressed in simple loungewear, she interrupts the conversation by chewing on a cookie on the table.

“No, because if we stop here, the flow we’ve created will stagnate. If I could, I’d keep moving as an adventurer.”

Raidorl’s work as an adventurer to help people has already become the talk of the town.

The king’s younger brother, who fights for the people despite being royalty, is admired by the people and is becoming more popular than the king, just as Raidorl had hoped.

If possible, he did not want to stop this trend.

“So, what would you do? Onii-san has only one body, right?”

“I have one body. But there are two sword-bearers and two swords. I will act according to Granard’s orders. Célia, I want you to continue your activities as an adventurer.”

“Oh, I’m going to work alone?”

She looked unhappy, but as soon as she took another bite of the cookie, her face relaxed with happiness.

It seems that the Imperial Princess’ taste buds have been satisfied with a product from a popular pastry shop with a long queue.

“You have nothing else to do anyway, right? Please?”

“Mmm, I don’t have any obligation to work for you, do I? You know that, don’t you?”

“I know, I know.”

Raidorl waved his hand carelessly at Célia, who gave him a pout.

Raidorl smiles and looks at the girl’s face, who’s somewhat dissatisfied and satisfied.

“Well, Your Royal Highness, you and I are getting on reasonably close, aren’t we?”

“What? What is it, so suddenly?”

Raidorl smiled wickedly at her, his eyes black and white.

“If I were to overthrow my brother and become king, someone close to you, the imperial princess, would be at the top of the Zain kingdom. If that happens, the relationship between the Empire and the Kingdom will take a new turn, won’t it?”

The Kingdom of Zain and the Empire of Alsatian have been enemies for many years, but if a pro-imperial king were to be born, it might be possible to end the war by other means.

Depending on the negotiations, it is even possible to win the war without fighting and follow the Empire as a vassal state.

“Win or lose, there will be blood in war. You’ve seen it yourself. Wouldn’t it be better if we could win without fighting?”

“…… Are you going to sell this country to the Empire? Isn’t that called being a traitor?”

“Depending on the conditions, I’m the type that focuses on bearing fruit rather than the name. It’s okay if I can avoid the war by becoming a client state.”

.

Raidorl, who has been exiled to the frontier for much of his life, has no pride in his royal status.

He believes it is more important to prioritize his interests as an adventurer than to maintain the independence of the Kingdom of Zain.

“In the first place, I think it is strange that humans are fighting each other, ignoring the threat of demons. Well, maybe that’s because I’ve been an adventurer for so long.”

Even now, in the frontier cities, adventurers may be battling the demons that come from the Devil’s Forest.

The Kingdom and the Empire are locked in a standoff on the eastern border, leaving the situation as it is.

“I’ll give you a chance to do me a favour. I’m offering you the chance to become an adventurer in my stead and help the people of this land. You’ll make it more famous.”

“…… Sure. But don’t forget, you owe me!”

“I’ll follow you wherever you go, Master. From the cradle to the grave. From baby play to necrophilia!”

“…… What are you talking about?”

Célia nodded her head as if she had no choice but to do so, and Neimilia naturally started to sexually harass him while spouting nonsense.

Sighing at the two beautiful girls, Raidorl contemplates on what to do next.
