After waking up from his dream, Ascal was being handled with utmost care.

What which means was he loved the “affected person’s privilege,” the place nobody would say something even when he blatantly slacked off.

So, whereas everybody else was working, he may confidently hand around in the break room by himself.

On both facet of Ascal have been a small snake and a white pet.

“Wow, they’re so cute. Can I pet them?”

“A snake? As anticipated of you, Sir. Such a refined passion.”

The analysis division employees who visited the break room would all the time attain out to see Ascal’s pets.

The white pet (White Dragon) put its paw within the worker’s hand.

The employees member, charmed by the cuteness, provided a deal with.

“Woof!”

The white pet (White Dragon) was glad.

The snake (Cloud Dragon), watching this scene, flicked its tongue in obvious anger. It appeared that even on this type, it had some pleasure as a dragon.

The Cloud Dragon spoke into Ascal’s thoughts.

-Play the flute, contractor.

“……?”

Although puzzled, Ascal performed the flute within the break room. By the way, varied devices have been accessible right here to alleviate employees stress.

Fweee—

In tune with the flute, the snake twisted its physique, performing methods.

“Wow! Superb!”

The analysis division worker who had been petting the white pet turned their consideration to the snake. They pulled out a sausage and gave it to the snake.

The snake gulped down the sausage with nice satisfaction.

-My victory, White Dragon.

-……So irritating. I’ll follow subsequent time too.

Individuals: Ascal Erindale, Cloud Dragon, White Dragon

-The Nice Dragon Karnax is asleep, however it’s a light-weight sleep. It may get up at any time for any purpose.

“So, it’s in a REM sleep state. Like a harmful volcano that might erupt from even the slightest stimulus.”

-Precisely. It’ll get up in just a few years even when left alone. It’s safer to eradicate it prematurely.

“In case you and Karnax fought, who would win?”

-I might lose. However why are you being so casual impulsively…

Ascal threw a sausage. The snake caught and ate it. Feeling happy, the snake hissed contentedly.

-You could communicate informally.

“Wouldn’t it be unimaginable even with the White Dragon?”

-Sure. We’re beings meant to supervise, to not have interaction in crude battles.

“However aren’t you the guardian of the empire? Don’t you care if the Nice Dragon rampages in your territory?”

-Defeat him.

“……?”

-You are able to do it. Contractor. Defeat the Nice Dragon Karnax and change into a hero remembered in historical past! Think about it! The second when everybody shouts your title, painters create your portrait, and academics train college students about your nice achievements!

-Wow. That sounds cool.

The Cloud Dragon motivated him. The White Dragon chimed in.

The impact was not excellent.

“I see. You guys are not any assist in any respect proper now.”

-In case you wait 100 years, I can get better my power by the Sacred Tree.

-I solely want about fifty years…

Ascal sighed.

“Waaah! I don’t wish to die, I don’t wish to die!”

“Is Sushia terminally sick or one thing, Ascal?”

“……”

It appeared like a critical dialog was so as with the Crown Prince.

****

“Ah, the Duke of Senestia, you say. Sure, I’ve identified. I’ve been conscious that he harbors different intentions.”

“You knew, Your Highness?”

“Anybody who claims to be impartial is often hiding one thing. I’ve all the time been suspicious of the Duke of Senestia.”

Might the Crown Prince’s fall and loss of life within the authentic story be associated to this? Ascal questioned.

“I referred to as off the political marriage with Sushia as a result of I sensed one thing was off. Since then, it appears the Duke has been cautious of me.”

“So what’s going to you do? And what about Sushia?”

“Effectively, it’s a bit awkward to say this, however, Ascal.”

The Crown Prince scratched his head.

“Has the Duke of Senestia ever triggered hurt to the Empire up till now?”

“……!”

“After all, I additionally positioned spies within the Duke’s family. Even used the Emperor’s hounds for thorough investigations. However!”

“However?”

“He hasn’t executed something! The Duke of Senestia! Aside from sometimes disappearing at night time to attend some unusual membership conferences.”

Certainly.

Opposite to what was seen within the dream, the Duke of Senestia hadn’t executed something at this level. He merely exuded an ominous presence, like a darkish schemer.

“Bernstein helped a bit. It’s a voice recorder utilizing magic stones, nonetheless categorised as prime secret. I’ve a recording, would you prefer to pay attention?”

Ascal nodded, and the Crown Prince took out a spherical artifact. After winding it up, the artifact started to play a voice.

-The spider nonetheless has 4 legs left.

-Your mission immediately is to retrieve the previous lich’s employees hidden within the sewers.

-What do you imply there’s nothing within the sewers? That may’t be!

“To your data, as quickly as we heard this, the hounds went forward and retrieved the employees first. The Duke is aware of loads, so we’re utilizing his data. As soon as he’s now not helpful, we plan to border him appropriately and do away with him.”

The Duke of Senestia virtually appeared pitiable.

There are pure enemies on this planet.

For the Duke, his pure enemy was the Crown Prince…

“Oh, and there was some excellent news that turned out to be relatively unlucky for you.”

The Crown Prince positioned a doc on the desk.

It was an appointment letter for the place of Prime minister, bearing the imperial seal.

Ascal Erindale’s title was written on it, with the one clean spot being the place the seal would go. It was as if it was saying, “Simply present up, and it’s yours.”

Ascal started to sweat profusely.

“There’s a long-standing custom within the Empire {that a} Prime minister appointed throughout the Emperor’s reign should retire when the Emperor abdicates. So, it appears this should wait.”

The Crown Prince smiled.

“You might be to be my Prime minister, not my father’s.”

“When do you intend to ascend the throne, Your Highness?”

“Oh, such insolent phrases. The Emperor continues to be right here. Perhaps subsequent yr?”

There wasn’t a lot time left.

One yr.

He needed to escape inside one yr.

“And about Sushia, she will simply be faraway from the household registry. As an example, if she grew to become the spouse of somebody with a powerful background… Oh, there’s an acceptable candidate proper in entrance of me.”

The Crown Prince seemed out the window.

There, Sushia had fallen asleep, leaning towards a tree, exhausted from crying.

“Sushia could also be a bit naive, however she’s a superb lady, Ascal. What do you suppose? I’ll even officiate the marriage.”
