[Chapter 1]
“Out of consideration of the fact that you once contributed to the war against the demon race, Her Majesty is generously showing you mercy. Instead of death by hanging, you shall be beheaded. Your execution shall be held tomorrow!”
Queen Sisi nodded to indicate to the official next to her that he could pass the order down. She then let out a breath of relief. She stretched her hand she just wrote with and examined it. With a slight frown, she remarked, “How annoying. It’s just a few people, yet I have to, personally, write a letter. I had just cleaned my nails and skin. What a waste. Bring those materials over for me again. I need to take care of my hand.”
“Your Majesty, in my opinion, you need to reconsider the issue with the adventurers.”
A young man wearing a purple cape and standing behind the Queen spoke up, “I can get you everything you need. However, you should think about the matter concerning the adventurers carefully. Although the adventurers have become useless after the death of the Demon King, they are your pieces for war. We, alone, are not enough to face the chapel and merchants. If you kill all of the adventurers that believed in you, the chapel and merchants will consider it good news if they plot against you. If I am not wrong, this idea must have been given to you by the chapel and merchants, right? After all, the adventurers are not military personnel, so they can do as they please with their assets.”
Queen Sisi proudly shook her head and replied in a casual manner, “That won’t happen. The demon race is no more. I was the one that led us to defeat that powerful foe, and I also trust the chapel and merchants. The chapel and merchants wish to profit and make gains from me, which I can provide them with. So is there a need for me to worry? I know that you military personnel are slightly unhappy that you don’t have a chance to act at the moment. That’s why I am having you pursue those adventurers. You should be grateful to me.”
“Your Subject is very grateful to you, Your Majesty… It is just… Just… Your Majesty, you must be wary of those groups. They are absolutely a threat to you!”
Queen Sisi nodded, “I know, I know.” She then turned her head around to look at the young man with a smile, “I’m aware of it all. The chapel and merchants said the same thing to me previously. They warned me to be wary of you soldiers. They said that you may revolt against me due to not having anything to do.”
“Your Subject would never dare to do that!! Your Subject treads the path of honour left behind by ancestors. Our honour and glory is being absolutely loyal and dutiful. It is impossible for us to have ulterior motives towards you!!”
Right? So can I trust them?”
‘Queen Sisi made an open hand gesture. Then she touched the young man’s face and laughed, “Has anybody ever told you that your eyes are very pretty? I really like you, for the fact that you managed to become a leader in the military at such a young age. I believe that people with such pretty eyes are very trustworthy. The same goes their side, though. I know what you three parties are thinking. You all have your own agendas. I do bear in mind everything you’ve all said. The war has ended, so let’s put your military aside for now. I’m more concerned about filling up the national treasury, than those so-called military contributions.”
“Your Subject… Understands.”
The young man knew that Queen Sisi would deny whatever he said, since she had said that. He was genuinely loyal. Killing the adventurers would only enrage them. The chapel most certainly has ulterior motives, not to mention the fact that they have their own independent military force. Their forces are encroaching upon the border, step by step, yet Queen Sisi hasn’t realised anything. The military, however, knew what they were scheming. The military had to make preparations, since Queen Sisi wasn’t budging. They had to act, not only for Her Majesty, but also for Lord Veirya!
