The genius prince : vol 7 ch 27

 As he left, Strang took one look at lowellmina and gave her a small smile. She also gave him a small wave.

when it was just her and Fyshe in the room, lowellmina folded her hands in prayer.

"...... Your Highness, are you really praying for Prince Manfred's victory?"

"All right, that should be enough. He will probably bump his leg somewhere.”

"............"

"Okay, that's enough I'm sure he will hit foot somewhere!!" Lowellmina nodded her head in satisfaction and then switched gears.

"The Manfred army can head to the battlefield with a little more time to spare now that they've balanced their supplies. Now they won't be forced to fight a short battle. We should be able to buy some time."

"we didn't expect Prince Demetrio to be contained. ......”

"Really, it was the nastiest thing Strang could have done. ......!” Lowellmina held her head.

"As it is, either Baldrosh or Manfred will win. But as for me. I have to let Dimetrio win out of the three princes. But I wanted Demetrio to come out on top. That means...I’m in

trouble! What am I supposed to do " lowellmina said.

The reason we gave Manfred supplies was to prolong the battle, as he had said. While he was stalling for time, she was planning to make his next move.

what should she do exactly? Lowellmina searched her mind for answers.

"What's going on with Demetrio?

"He seems rattled. Understandably so. He’s just lost a battle. Many of his followers will try to return to their lands. It is hard to imagine that the current Prince Demetrio can stop them."

"...According to my original prediction, Demetrio's remaining strength was five thousand, but I think we need to revise that downward. It may be as little as 2,000 left, maybe less."

"I don't think that with that number of people, no matter what Prince Wayne does, he will be able to intervene in the decisive battle between Prince Baldrosh and Prince Manfred and out manoeuvre both armies"

Fyshe was probably right. wayne was no joke as an opponent, but he

(Will he call for troops from Natra? If he do that, it's like declaring war on the Empire. It's impossible, as expected. Would he just give up and go home? If it's Wayne's character, he'll stick it out until the very last minute. But who’s to say he’s not already at the end of his rope...? )

As lowellmina crossed her arms in distress, Fiysh said:

"Speaking of which. Your Highness, as I told you earlier this morning, You have a meeting scheduled with Princess Franya this afternoon.”

“ It's a little early, but would you like to see her now?”

"Oh, yes, of course. Is she already in the palace? “

Fiysh nodded. She is not Wayne, but she is Natra's royalty. She might be able to help us get out of this situation.

"Then, please call her at once—hm?”

At that moment, lowellmina's ears caught a voice coming from outside the window.

She leaned out of the window, which overlooked the courtyard of the palace.

In the courtyard, there was Franya, who had just been mentioned, and another unexpected person.

---------------------------

"phew..." In the courtyard was Franya , who was just now discussing the topic, and another unexpected figure. Sitting on a perch in the courtyard of the imperial palace, Franya exhaled a weary breath.

 For some time now, Franya had been busy. she had been busy for some time now, holding meetings with some of the most powerful people in the capital.

For the prosperity of Natra and the Empire, that was the ostensible story. Lowellmina was also aware of this.

But behind the scenes, the purpose was to harass lowellmina.

"My brother said it was enough for me to move around, but..."

Franya has achieved great things in the city of Meertus. If she were to wander around the capital, Lowellmina could not help but be aware of her presence and her influence. Wayne's argument was that this would be a bloody blow to Lowellmina, which wanted to keep track of the movements of the three prince's.

Franya asked if this was the case, but Wayne laughed and said that it would not be a problem.

Wayne was sure that lowellmina would take advantage of the challenge. He wanted to use this provocation to convinced that lowellmina would use this opportunity to discredit Wayne and give Frayna a lot of credit.

If so, it would serve lowellmina's purpose to have Frayna meet with famous and powerful people and make a name for herself.

It is also in the best interest of lowellmina’s. She would have a great dilemma, but she would keep a close eye on Frayna. so, Wayne thought.

in fact, the situation was exactly as Wayne had guessed. It was an insidious plan, the product of a frighteningly brilliant mind.

"I have a feeling that my brother is very kind to me and Ninym, but in other matters he can be a bit of a bad person,”

"......, I guess." Nanaki barely stopped himself from saying, More than “a

"But I've been studying it for a while now, and I'm starting to get the picture. I think it's not enough to just pursue a gentle ideal when it comes to running a country. You have to think about what people want, and sometimes you have to look at the dark side of people." With that, she said emphatically.

"I have to work hard and become like my brother.”

"Nanaki, you look like you don't think I can do it, do you?"

To be honest, he didn’t think she could do it, and he didn’t want her to
become like him. Nanaki kept silent.

"Let me tell you, I'm still going strong, just taking a little break. I will do my best in the capital, for the sake of the role my brother has given me, and for the future."

"In the future or ...... The other thing you're asking Cyrus to do is part of that, isn't it?"

"I don't know if that one will work out.” Franya said, getting up. 

 "We're done with our break! It's a little early, but let's go back and wait for Princess Lowellmina."
