Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend Chapter 154

The next day, I ate breakfast with Mazell and the others, then I went to the palace. Apparently I would be eting with Laura and elder Uwe.

I asked Mazell, Luguentz, Feli, and Elrich for a small favor after eating the breakfast. Feli answered with Since its you, big bro, I will help you with just one teacake as a paynt! and that made laugh.

The fact that Mazell was staying here seed to have already spread, so the mansion was filled with people who wanted to make an appointnt with Mazell. Norbert, Tirulla, and Lily were busy taking care of these appointnts since early morning. Unexpectedly, the people who were most motivated to get the appointnt with Mazell were rchants, not nobles.

Currently, I was in the palace. Before, most people just looked at from a distance while whispering but now, more people ca to approach instead.

I am Welner von Zeavert. (Welner)

Please co in, sir. (Palace guard)

The palace guards tone beca more respectful than before, maybe because I was now an official viscount. Receiving this kind of attitude from a grown up man wearing intimidating armor made feel pressured.

I apologize for being late (Welner)

Im sorry for calling you this early. (Hubertus)

Please, your highness, no need to apologize. It is my duty as your retainer to fulfill your summon. (Welnert)

Your Highness, your apology made feel even more uncomfortable. Laura and elder Uwe were here too. Urghmy stomach started to churn again.

First, good work defeating the demon general! Thanks to your effort, Sir, we wouldnt need to be too worried about the south. (Hubertus)

I apologize for my arbitrary decision. (Welner)

Although I submitted my plan to the royal family and got approval of His Highness and His Majesty, since I didnt get the approval of all ministers, I was still moving without permission. His Highness responded to my words with a laugh.

Its fine as long as you win! is what I wanted to say, but, on a serious note, a person with authority needs to have the ability to make quick decisions and move even without the permission of their superior if they judge that it is necessary. As long as you are ready to face the consequences if you lose, then its fine. (Hubertus)

Thank you for your kind words. (Welner)

Im glad I was able to get away easily like this, but His Highnesss expectations for felt heavy. His Highness then crossed his hands on top of the desk and gazed at . Just like Mazell, this guy would make a really good painting.

Plus, your current reputation has also saved us from a lot of work since many of the rash nobles ended up showing their intentions. (Hubertus)

I see (Welner)

So nobles are starting to complain about how bad it is to entrust the hero family to a debt-ridden noble. Huh, they didnt even bother to investigate where those debts ca from and how they were used. (Hubertus)

His Highness smiled happily as he said that. He sure seed like he was having fun. This outco was a pure coincidence, though, but I could see how it was useful for His Highness.

Sorry, but Sir, I want this rumor to be left alone for a while. Are you fine with that? (Hubertus)

Your Highness! That.. (Laura)

I am fine with that, Your Highness. (Welner)

Laura was about to interject, but I honestly didnt mind, so I agreed to His Highnesss request. Then, for so reason, Laura showed a helpless expression on her face. Why? I an, there was no way I could refuse the request of the one and only Crown Prince, right?

You are really similar to Mazell (Uwe)

I think so too. (Laura)

I will take care of that matter, then. Next.. (Hubertus)

Elder Uwe and Laura seed to be whispering about sothing. I wondered what they were whispering about.

I had also heard about the prophecy from Elder Uwe.

Huh? What prophecy? When I was about to ask His Highness that, elder Uwe gave a signal with his gaze. Ah, I see. He was talking about my mory of my past life that I told Elder Uwe as sothing from a story. Certainly, it was more believable to say it was an oracle rather than sothing from a story. Still, gramps, would it hurt to at least warn beforehand!?

However, it was nice to know that I wasnt wrong about my judgnt of elder Uwes character. He seed to be helping out as expected.

Hmm I didnt expect that Laura didnt notice the map issue earlier and report it to the royal family. Well, thats for better as I could now manage the narrative more freely.

Ah, wait, I forgot to reply to His Highnesss words.

I believe it is hard to judge if the content of the oracle is true or not. There are things that werent ntioned in the oracle at all like the appearance of Gezarius.

Yes, I heard that in your prophecy Gezarius didnt appear. Perhaps there are so deviations from the prophecy? (Hubertus)

I am also unable to make a precise judgnt about that matter, His Highness. There was too little information in the prophecy (oracle). (Welner)

But seriously, just what did you tell His Highness, gramps!? Would it hurt you to tell about it first, so I could match your stories (or mine to be exact)!?

Alright then. First, I will announce to the public that the attack on the capital is Elder Uwes prophecy. Then, I will form a troop in anticipation of this attack with Grand Duke Seyfart as its leader. Sir, you will also help this troop from ti to ti. (Hubertus)

Thank you, Your Highness. (Welner)

Its sothing I ought to do as the Crown Prince of this country. No need to thank . (Hubertus)

I felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my soldiers. The Grand Duke would definitely be more skilled than in terms of leading a troop to protect the capital.

But you need to stay away from military affairs for the ti being, Sir. I believe you have been told the reason? (Hubertus)

Yes, the Grand Duke has told . (Welner)

Good. Then, for the ti being, you will beco the palaces temporary chamberlain. Well, you will beco chamberlain in na only though.(Hubertus)

Chamberlain? (Welner)

You need at least that high title if I am to give you permission to the royal familys exclusive library. (Hubertus)

Huh? What?

The exclusive library?

Its normal for you to have never heard of it. Only people with a certain status like the royal family, pri minister, and elder Uwe know the existence of that library. (Hubertus)

Does that library contain information about the Ancient Kingdom? (Welner)

Thats correct. I want you to research information that the elder wants from that library. (Hubertus)

Just as I thought before, an exclusive royal library did exist. The importance and the amount of information in that library must be huge. I really want to research about the ancient kingdom in that library, but, the ti

But, taking the book out of the library will be forbidden. (Hubertus)

I understand. (Welner)

But on the other hand, we need to know whether there is a difference between the demon king of the past and the current demon king as soon as possible. Because of that, I want you to take Lily Hearthing as your assistance and research it then tell the information to the hero. I will allow you to write down the information you get and take it out of the library. (Hubertus)

Pardon? (Welner)

But Lily was a commoner! For a commoner to be allowed to enter the exclusive library wouldnt that create a scandal? The elder Uwe looked undisturbed by the Crown Princes words, but Laura seed to be dissapointed? Did she already know this would happen.

The official letter of your appointnt will be ready in a few days. Do you have any problem with this arrangent? (Hubertus)

No, Your Highness.

There were a lot of problems! But well, I couldnt exactly say that in front of His Highnesss face, right? He definitely had so sort of plan, but what was it? With being in the exclusive library and becoming the palaces chamberlain, I would probably stay in the palace for a while, so nobles with ulterior motives wouldnt be able to approach . That was probably one of His Highnesss aims, but did he have other aims?

Ah, whatever. Lets just stop thinking about complicated stuff. Anyway, this was a good ti for to tell His Highness about that thing I had noticed before.

Your Highness, there is sothing that I have noticed before. (Welner)

Sothing you noticed? (Hubertus)

Its regarding the enemys movent. In Finnoi (Welner)

I then explained about the strange behavior of demons that wanted to kidnap Laura. If the demon army thought Laura would be a hindrance for their plan, they could just kill Laura but no, they wanted to kidnap her. Then, after seeing the behavior of the demon general in Anheim, I had one hypothesis.

The demon army seed to have a tendency to keep the body of the people that they thought would be useful for them.

The demon army might have a certain reason that made them want to bring Her Highness to the demon army. Since the demon army took their ti to try to kidnap Her Highness, most likely their aim has sothing to do with Her Highness ability to receive oracles. (Welner)

I agree with your view. Elder, what about you? (Hubertus)

His words are certainly possible. The demon army might want to use a fake oracle to confuse us or perhaps the demon army might have a certain need for an oracle Hmm (Uwe)

The elder then started to get lost in his thoughts. Um Sir you were in front of the Crown Prince, you know!? Ah, but the Crown Prince seed to not care. This gramps he really was quite sothing.

In other words, there is a chance that Laura will be targeted again by the demon army in the future. (Hubertus)

I have no proof that it will happen, but it will be safer if we assu so. (Welner)

I understand. Laura, you tell Mazell-kun about this and warn him to be careful. (Hubertus)

I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. (Laura)

While listening to the conversation between the two, a thought suddenly appeared in my mind. Thiswas worth researching.

The oracle that seed to be maliciousand the fact that the player in the ga and the demon army used the sa healing magic

The so-called God of this world, was he truly the ally of humanity?
