After the eting with the Pri Minister, Mama Juliette returned to her room and smiled broadly at both Orhan and Krajala.
"You have nothing to worry about now, Your Highness. This empire is as good as in the hands of the two of you.
"Yes. The Pri Minister has promised to do everything in his power to ensure that our brothers will take the throne. This is thanks to you, Mom.
Orhan puffed out his nose and puffed out his chest. Juliette looked embarrassed as she watched him. Clahara, on the other hand, looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression on her face.
"No, we can't let our guard down yet. We are only acting emperors. We are not going to be crowned emperor.
Auhan was stunned by Clajara's astute remark. Juliette gives them a kind look.
"Well, well, well, Your Highness. You are absolutely right, Your Highness. Yes. It is true that I do not seek the throne of emperor. But the important thing is that the two of you will take the throne of the Emperor, even if only by proxy. If the two of you take the position of emperor, the nobles will surely agree to it. In fact, I have heard that many people around Your Highnesses are plotting to enthrone the two of you. It will be more than ten years before Falco cos to our land. All we have to do is to make this country helpless without his highness before then. I, too, will support you both with my whole palace. Please, use your skills to your heart's content. Yes. I've put my heart and soul into raising these two. I'm sure they'll make it.
"I'm on it, Mom. I will bring the army under your complete control while I'm emperor. The army will not move without even after I leave the throne. Is that what you want?"
Aukhan beams as he says this. Juliette looked satisfied.
"Then you may take the throne first. I will co later.
Clahara smiles at that. Auchan looks at him as if he should have known better. As he watches, Clajara is roaring in his gut.
......This man doesn't know what he is talking about. Organizing an army? That's ridiculous. How can you unite the army when you have always been treated as a nuisance even within the army? Perhaps, if he takes the position of acting emperor, the country will be in chaos for sure. Then I will clean up the ss. Then my reputation will rise. Then I can concentrate power in my hands. Ten years will be enough. The nobility, the army, and the palace ...... will all be under my control, and it will not matter who cos after . If they co, they will return to Agartha with their tails between their legs, unable to do anything.
"...... But with Mama, the Pri Minister, Almond, and the rest of the disaffected, it will be difficult for to take the reins even if I ascend to the throne.
The smile had faded from Orhan's face. Krajala's expression was as if to say, "I am surprised. Juliette, however, was smiling with a smile of her own in front of them.
"Your Highness, there is nothing to worry about. I have an idea.
"Well, that's my mom."
"Yes. I have a plan. I'm asking Your Highness to please remain calm for the ti being.
"Mm, okay."
OHAN looked satisfied, took one look at CLAHARA, who was standing next to him, and walked out of the room quickly.
"Mom. I trust you, but please don't do anything unreasonable.
"Yes. Yes, I know. I will not do anything that will inconvenience Your Highness.
"I see."
Clahara gave a sigh of relief and left the place.
"They're pretty good people, aren't they?"
A man entered Juliette's empty room. An older man with a beard ....... He is a well-proportioned man whose body is hidden by his clothes, but one can see that he is well-trained.
The man smiles kindly as he slowly approaches Juliette.
"That's my Juliette, sir. You have done a wonderful job in bringing up your two highnesses.
"No, no, I'm ....... It's just that the two of you don't get along very well. If possible, I would like you to work hand in hand to face this difficult situation. ......
"Your concerns are valid. But I am sure that with Juliette's presence, the two of you will be able to lead this country hand in hand.
"So, I hope ......"
I'm sure it will work out. Yes, yes. I have brought the item you requested today.
The man then took out a purple cloth-wrapped object from his pocket and carefully unfolded it. Inside was a transparent stone the size of his fist.
"Where is this ......?"
"It's a Geary Cliff, sir."
"Geary Clift ......"
"Yes. It is a kind of crystal. But this crystal is poisonous.
"......"
"It's okay. There is no problem if you touch it.
The man then grabs a stone wrapped in a cloth with his hand, tosses it on his palm and grabs it, playing with it. After a while he held it out in front of Juliette. She looked a little hesitant, but then fearfully reached out her hand toward the stone.
"It really is a beautiful crystal, isn't it?
"Yes. Yes. It is ornantal enough. However, this crystal will evaporate when heated.
"Well, ......"
"And when it evaporates, it gives off a gas ...... that contains poison."
"Hou ......"
"The beauty of this poison is that it is colorless, tasteless, and odorless. Low concentrations of the poison can cause symptoms such as dizziness, coughing, headache, and vomiting. Well, since the symptoms are similar to those of the common cold, most people usually think they have a mild cold. If the concentration becos too high, the patient will fall into a coma. If this happens, you will almost certainly die. I have heard of the common practice of placing the stone heated in advance in a small room and placing the subject in it to take his life in an instant ......."
"...... is difficult, isn't it?"
"Please use this one."
The man holds out the purple cloth in one hand, the one that had been wrapped around the stone earlier.
"This cloth has been specially treated. This cloth has been specially treated to generate heat when it is enchanted. If you wrap the stone in the cloth and pass magic power through it, poisonous gas will be generated.
"So ....... If you order your maidservant to plant this ....... A small place ....... I agree, the bathroom would be a good idea. The Pri Minister and the Commander-in-Chief have their own bathrooms in their rooms. You can slip this in there: ......"
"You're very good, Miss Juliette. Then the concentration of the poison will be high in no ti. The mont you go in to do your business, you will lose your life.
Hearing the man's voice brings a smile to Juliette's face again. The man continues his story.
"Madeline, the Pri Minister, Caries, the Marshal of the Imperial Army, and Almond, the Commander-in-Chief. If these three are buried, the power of Agartha's side in the Kingdom will be as good as eliminated. Then, the future of your highnesses will be as open as if it were open to the world.
Yes, that's exactly what I think.
"Then I will bring so of these stones ...... gear cliffs in the near future. I will leave it to you to decide when you want to use them.
"Thank you so much for everything."
No. Juliette has done so much for us that this is nothing at all. We of the Church of Crimiana are always on Juliette-sama's side.
"I'm sure we can count on you."
Their laughter echoed through the room.
