Chapter 58

Usman fastidiously examined the individual’s look. He was going to ask Haliman to seize him.

“The place are you going?”

“Let’s go over there for now.”

Saying so, he pointed in the wrong way from the individual from the Hillenton Empire. Isilis adopted his gesture and moved as properly.

Usman quietly commanded Haliman, who adopted.

“Catch the knight of the Hillenton Empire within the again!”

“Understood.”

“It’s okay to get harm in a single place, make sure you safe a brand new recruit.”

“I’ll maintain that in thoughts.”

As Haliman quietly disappeared behind him, Usman moved his steps in direction of Isilis, who was forward. His steps as she approached her have been gentle.

Seven months in the past.

Troopers stood in entrance of Berthas, who arrived on the capital of Hillenton with a military after three months.

“What’s happening?”

“Berthas Hillenton. I’ve come to arrest you on Your Majesty’s orders.”

“Arrest? Who to whom?”

He had no intention of being as obedient as he had been earlier than. Since he got here right here to usurp the throne, he didn’t have to stay with the identical angle as earlier than. Seeing Berthas appearing boastful, the troopers panicked.

“Obey the orders of the Emperor!”

“If I don’t need to?”

“I’ll drive you…!”

“Do you may have the flexibility to do this?”

Instantly, the throat of the soldier who had been speaking to Berthas was lower.

Sounds of astonishment may very well be heard from round, however Berthas continued on. So long as the gate to the Capital was open, he would go to the Imperial Palace. Hillenton’s Imperial Palace was closest to the Capital’s partitions.

It was the desire of the ancestors by no means to run away when the enemy invades and to struggle again. The picket door of the Imperial Palace was not a correct door, so he was capable of lower via it together with his aura.

When he noticed the gate in entrance of him, Berthas lower via it. Because the palace gate was lower like paper, the troopers inside panicked and aimed their swords.

“I’ll kill anybody who resists! Give up!”

“Berthas Hillenton! What a monstrous factor to do!”

“I’ve come to seek out my place.”

“Didn’t you already declare while you drank the spring water of oath and never inherit the throne!”

“I’m not making an attempt to inherit the throne. My little one will succeed the throne.”

“…What?”

He might hear the voice of the guards guarding the fortress shouting.

The troopers who had already heard of Berthas Hillenton’s status laid down their weapons one after the other. The rationale they made the choice so simply was as they have been bored with the Crown Prince’s evil deeds and the insufferable Imperial Household.

Seeing the troopers surrendering so simply, the guard commander’s expression darkened and stiffened.

All of a sudden, a distraught voice fell from his lips.

“Increase your sword proper now! You’re nonetheless guards defending the imperial palace!”

“In order for you me to guard the imperial palace, at the least give me a good wage!”

“Proper!”

Berthas shouted once more whereas watching the guard commander, who was devastated by the sword pointed at him.

“In case you give up, I’ll spare your life.”

Seeing that nobody was aiming a sword at Berthas, the guard’s commander ultimately threw his sword away. The palace gate was fully pierced. As quickly because the gate was breached, the troopers adopted Berthas, who rode his horse straight to the internal fortress.

A shout got here from afar.

“Who’s it?”

“I feel it’s Sir Hector.”

“He arrived on time.”

The North Palace was additionally pierced. Troopers carrying Berthas’ flag continued to pour in.

“What in regards to the different facet?”

“It is going to be quickly!”

An arrow flew between the 2 as they rode on horseback. Trying up, it was the Crown Prince of Hillenton.

“Berthas, you b*stard!”

“In case you shot, you need to have hit me.”

“How dare you mock me?”

“I already know that you’re not ok. In case you give up obediently, I’ll spare your life.”

He by no means supposed to maintain the Crown Prince alive.

Different troopers round him have been listening, so he stated that, however Berthas didn’t need to go away behind a burden. It was additionally a hindrance later. They believed that they had their leash on Berthas tight, however the poorly fixed leash made him intention for his or her necks. It was the largest mistake.

“What nonsense?! Get down in your knees proper now! Did you overlook while you drank the spring water of oath? As promised, you can not take over the throne of Hillenton!”

“Who stated I might take it?”

He wouldn’t take the throne of Hillenton even when somebody provided it to him.

“Then, why are you aiming for the throne!”

“I’m not aiming for the throne. I intend to liberate the stricken Empire of Hillenton!”

“What did you say?”

“To assume that the Imperial Household was solely fulfilling their very own self-interests with out caring for the nation correctly… Are you aware what the Empire is like now?”

“What nonsense are you speaking about!”

The Crown Prince’s look as he cried out together with his face turned purple was so pitiful that it was unimaginable to explain. He shouted, not seeing the eyes of the troopers him with pitiful eyes.

“In case you are a citizen of the empire, in fact, it’s a must to work exhausting for the Imperial Household!”

“Flawed!”

Berthas shouted earlier than the Crown Prince might even end his phrases.

“You’re improper. In case you are a member of the imperial household, you need to know easy methods to maintain the folks of the empire! One, the sin of not caring for the folks of the Empire who have been in ache because of the imperial household dwelling an opulent life! Two, the crime of breaking the promise with the emperor to guide the empire to peace! Lastly, because you broke your promise to me, I may also break your promise to you!”

“Are you going to interrupt the oath…?!”

Reasonably, it appeared that they wished to interrupt the oath. For them, that was the one strategy to management Berthas.

“The oath is that I can’t ascend the throne! As promised, I can’t ascend the throne.”

“Then, why did you do that!”

“Didn’t I let you know?! I can’t stand to see the struggling of the imperial folks any longer. Once I went out on the streets, there have been many hungry folks and increasingly more folks begging. The variety of folks carrying rags elevated, and the quantity of people that couldn’t work and wandered round elevated. Increasingly more folks lay down on the streets as a result of they have been homeless, and increasingly more folks deserted their kids. Don’t you are feeling something while you see it?”

“What nonsense! The Empire is booming like nothing else!”

“Since you might be solely within the Imperial Palace, you may say such issues.”

Berthas sighed. He didn’t anticipate it to be like this.

To say that an individual who didn’t have at the least the essential {qualifications} that members of the Imperial Household ought to have was the outline of the Crown Prince. He couldn’t forgive them for doing this to his father. Was it what triggered the earlier Emperor to die?

“Berthas, you b*stard!”

The Emperor of Hillenton quickly appeared.

Berthas frowned on the sight of him carrying a pile of gold and silver treasures. He didn’t seem earlier than the rebellious military with a sword however with nice adornment.

‘…Is he late due to that?’

Berthas opened his mouth, pondering that the emperor believed that authority comes from garments.

“Uncle.”

“Uncle?! I’m the Emperor of this nation!”

“Have a look at this.”

As Berthas began this entire matter, the very first thing he ready was one thing. It was to uncover the secrets and techniques of the earlier Emperor’s loss of life.

“Do you may have something to say in regards to the loss of life of the earlier Emperor?”

“That’s proper, Your Excellency.”

When Berthas efficiently expanded the borders and returned to the capital, somebody approached him.

“The earlier Emperor was assassinated. He didn’t simply die.”

“Why are you telling me that?”

“What?”

“What did you do at the moment, and inform me now.”

Rely Montfils.

He was one of many earlier Emperor’s servants. He was now a vassal who was clinging to the present emperor and reaping the candy water.

There was just one purpose he approached Berthas.

It was as a result of the Emperor ordered him to seek out out his intentions, and Berthas knew all of this from the report of the spy planted within the palace. Realizing that the video stone, which was all the time within the emperor’s workplace, had disappeared, he inquired and located the individual with the video stone.

That was the Rely proper in entrance of him.

Berthas got here and intimidated him and bought the video stone in regards to the earlier Emperor’s loss of life. A video stone confirmed the present Emperor pouring poison right into a cup that the earlier Emperor would drink.

The Rely, who handed the video stone, opened his mouth.

“That… will you forgive me?”

“You gave me this, so I’ll let it slide.”

“Thanks…!”

This might imply that he was holding it as a way to intimidate the Emperor. When he refused to give up, Berthas revealed that he was a sword grasp and that he dreamed of overthrowing the Empire.

For an individual who would die anyway, understanding this info was ineffective.

The Emperor shouted loudly at Berthas, who took out the video stone, although he couldn’t cease the video stone from shining brightly and displaying the video.

The video floating within the sky of the imperial palace began with the present emperor pouring poison into the cup of the earlier emperor. Even when the earlier emperor collapsed after ingesting that cup, it shocked everybody.

Though he had solely seen the video as soon as, Berthas couldn’t maintain again his feelings.

‘Father…’

He couldn’t stay immersed in sentimentality. After calculating, he shouted.

“You aren’t the rightful successor, so it’s essential to step down!”

“You b*stard! That doesn’t imply you may sit right here both…!”

“I’m, however my little one is completely different. My little one will sit there!”

Along with his phrases, everybody besides his troopers and knights gasped in shock. There was a sound of ‘huh’ right here and there, however he didn’t care and opened his mouth once more.

“So, get off that seat proper now! Advance!”

Berthas spurred on his horse and began the entry into the internal circle of the imperial palace. Troopers jumped in after him, and knights additionally rode their horses. The knights who watched the video didn’t resist.

“Kill those that resist!”

The resistant knights threw down their weapons after listening to Berthas’ cry. Earlier than he might even enter the palace, the door to the fortress opened, and the Emperor and the Crown Prince fell on their knees in entrance of him.

The knights captured the Emperor and Crown Prince, who have been making an attempt to flee via a secret passage in sympathy with Berthas’ will.

“Berthas, you b*stard!”

“Shut up. Pondering of what you guys did to the earlier emperor, it’s not sufficient to even lower your throat proper now.”

Everybody nodded their heads at his phrases that have been bursting with rage.

“Drag them away!”

Trying on the backs of the individuals who had bullied him since he was ten years outdated, Berthas felt dejected.

“It’s such a straightforward factor…”

“Duke.”

“Not anymore.”

He stated to the adjutant who approached him.

“I’m the regent now.”

“Lengthy stay His Excellency the Regent!”

“Lengthy stay!”

“Lengthy stay Berthas Hillenton!”

“Lengthy stay…!”

Folks have been asking him to guide the nation properly.

Berthas smiled bitterly. What would they do in the event that they knew that he was planning to convey all the nation to Larchen?

‘…It doesn’t matter.’

It had nothing to do with him. In spite of everything, he had no regrets or which means for this nation.
