genius prince vol 8 chapter 25
That's why Tigris jumped on his own. For what? It is to prove that he was conscious until the moment he jumped.
(Tigris had his throat slit and a knife in his back. The first time I saw the No doubt, he was taken by surprise first, and then his throat was slit.)
What did Tigris think of the scorching shock that ran in his throat? Surprise, embarrassment, fear, anger-no, everything is different. I understand. What Tigris held is mean.
Tigris recognized it immediately. There was a fourth person. It was the hand of Caldomeria. So he ran. To tell Wayne, who was waiting for him downstairs, that there was a fourth person.
There was no friendship there, no alliance of righteousness. It was a last ditch effort to prevent Caldomeria from winning and running away. His throat was slit, he could not speak, and a knife was thrown at him and stabbed into his back. Still, he did not stop, and leapt to his death. Clutching his chest tightly. Why did he clutch his chest and not his throat, which was slit, or his back, where the knife was? Naturally, it was not because of the pain in his chest. What he clutched was the symbol of Leveteanism, the circle around his neck.
That is the end of his will. It was the final message that the enemy was a symbol of Levetianism: the Holy King and Cardomeria.
(Tigris, if you had lived, we would have killed each other sooner or later, but fortunately or unfortunately, you died with your alliance. ...... Then I'll rip off one flower for you to put on your grave.)
For that reason, I fold it all at once here.
"How about, Lord Agata. Have you been satisfied with my explanation?”
"Mmm ..."
Agata looked slightly frightened when he was suddenly asked to speak. Miroslav, Steil and others wondered why Agata was here. However, Agata was the only one who understood Wayne's intention. I'm going to pretend that you were not the third one. So come on over here, Wayne told Agata.
"... I feel that there is a lot of imagination in this story." So prefaced, Agata said " But if you're not God, you can't know everything. ...... I believe in your word."
Wayne felt that Agata's reply made a difference in the tide of the meeting. The number of elected saints is already decreasing. Even if you get the approval of one person, the effect is great. Then Wayne slides his gaze to the next target.
"How about Prince Miloslav?"
" Don't be ridiculous! You're just saying what's best for you! How can you be convinced by this!” As Miloslav pointed out, Wayne replied bullishly.
"If you think so, it can't be helped. But I also have honor and the future of Natra. If you say that I killed Sir Tigris, I will defend myself no matter how long it takes. "
Miroslav showed a slight sign of agitation at this.
For Miloslav, the main subject of this meeting is to make King Skillet a saint. Finding the murderer of Tigris was completely out of the question.
Of course, Wayne is an annoying opponent for Miloslav. He is young, talented, and openly connected to the hateful empire, so if this can be ruled out, it's worth the discussion. ――But if it doesn't interfere with the main subject, he's talking about it.
(I f this kind of thing takes up so much time and if King Skillet is inaugurated as the Holy saint is delayed ...)
King Skillet's was initiated by Miroslav. From the point of view of the other elected saints, it would not hurt them much if the inauguration of the elected saint was delayed. No, they are even willing to let it slide if there is a chance. We can't anything too leisurely.
(Gu, Nu ...)
"Should we continue to denounce Wayne, or should we switch and move on to the story of King Skilet?”
"Prince Miloslav"
Suddenly called from the side, Miloslav returns to me. Skillet sitting next to me is suspicious of Miloslav
The first time I saw him, he was looking at me with a strong gaze.
(If you choose to pursue Wayne here, will your trust be broken or ......!)
The plan started with working with Miloslav and Skillet to gain a voice at the Holy Meeting. Even if he denounces Wayne and drives him away, and Skillet becomes a holy saint, the plan would have failed if Skillet lost trust in him. This had to be avoided at all costs.
(It couldn't be helped. ......)
Miloslav said to Wayne inwardly, slamming his tongue.
"...... I take it back. I admit, it was the work of the Empire."
" Oh, I am glad to see you have an understanding, Prince Miroslav."
Wayne smiles as if he knew all of Miloslav's conflicts. Miloslav gritted his teeth in frustration.
(Well, then... ......)
Wayne looks around the remaining round table selection princes. The Holy King, Caldomeria, Steil, and Gruyere. If he could convince even one of them, Wayne's imperial criminal theory will be the most powerful in terms of numbers.
(Characteristically, Gruyere will nod only after he is the last one. The Holy King and Cardomeria must be sticky here. If that is the case, Steil should be the one to persuade them!)
Wayne quickly decided that, and opened his mouth to convince Steil.
"I believe Your Highness Wayne's view that the Empire is behind this is perfectly reasonable." Before that, Caldomeria spun the words.
" Let us protest firmly against the empire in this matter and hold it accountable to the fullest extent possible.”
Caldomeria acknowledged Wayne's opinion. This was unexpected for all elected saints. This is because Caldomeria thought that this turmoil would be used to the maximum extent as a material to hit Natra.
"Is it okay to think of it as a word with the consent of His Eminence, Caldromeria, Director General of the Evangelical Bureau?" Gruyere asks. Then Silverio, sitting next to Caldomeria, but clearly. This means that it was not an outburst of Caldomeria.
" what about you two, King Gruyere and duke Steil ?" Caldomeria asks them on behalf of Wayne. But if the minority, and even the Holy King, had already accepted Wayne's view, there would be no objection.
" Prince Wayne, I wonder if you could tell me the details of Lord Tigris' death later ?"
"... I don't mind"
"Thank you. Then I will also support the claim that it was the empire that killed Sir Tigris."
Steil said with satisfaction. Wayne turned into a humorous face behind the scenes.
"Okay, I'll admit it too." Gruyere also nodded deeply. Now the truth is buried in the darkness. Wayne's imperial conspiracy theory has been approved by all elected saints, and Tigris's death crime goes to the empire.
That meant that Wayne was out of the pinch.
(Now that's a relief - and it's not going to be easy, that's the tricky part.)
Wayne looks at Caldomeria. Why did she so easily accept the story I presented to her? i need to find out, or i won't be able to find relief. However, Wayne's expression was relaxed.
(I know what you're thinking. You're going to use this to turn me into a part of the anti-imperialist movement, aren't you?)
The murder of the elected Holy Tigris by an imperial assassins. The scandal quickly ran across the continent, undoubtedly increasing his momentum towards the empire in the west.
In anticipation of this, it is not hard to imagine that there will be some pressure on the empire at subsequent meetings. Of course, Natra couldn't be irrelevant either.
(Military demonstration or economic sanctions? Whatever the case, Natra will use this as an opportunity to press for the severing of its ties with the empire. As long as the empire claimed to be the mastermind, it would be a bad move for me to reject them)
