The progress of science and technology, the birth of new social politicians, the power of capitalism and even the growing number of mages are all risks to the existence of Nobles and even to the Royal Family of Altheous.
Because of this, they did everything they could to prevent these risks from turning into power. So they pass the law acknowledged by the King, in which it is prohibited to give titles to those Politicians and Mages. This was a way to put a stop to them from gaining influence.
May it be that you saved hundreds of people from an infectious disease through healing magic but as a Mage, it was under this law, that you shall not be honored given to the sacrifice you've made.
The Nobles fear that this would give those underneath (the people and the poor) the motivation to overthrow them and as well that they could still be in power.
Thus this begins the struggle between the Old Nobles (sided by the Royal Family, the 1st Prince's Faction) vs. The New Politicians and Mages.
But as old nobles and royals are trying to oppress their enemies, someone has already entered the game like a star. And he is none other than Prince Cy Adriene Pierce vos Romelias.
He was born before the 1st Prince and yes, the throne was supposed to be his but since he was the son of an exotic dancer… This was never approved by the Nobles and so instead they named him as the 2nd Prince and dethroned him.
But despite all of this, the Mother Queen (Mother of the current King and Grandmother of the Princes) gave all her support to him. When Prince Adriene was sent off to war at the age 16 against the rebels in the borders, only she cared and saw him off to battle…
"A young commander of both new politicians and mages…" I said to myself wondering how tough that would be.
Hold on. He has the title and power to stop the Campbell Family and I have a trump card that he cannot ignore.
I know the future of this novel and most especially, Prince Adriene. It's my advantage from coming into this world. Although Adriene is a noble in disguise more likely a Prince at that. I'm not sure if this could actually work.
I saw the Prince excused himself from the other guests and my body shot right up to follow after him. I have to at least try…
--------------------------------
Behind the shadows of the mansion. A man with an exquisite leathered suit together with his two guards is on their way towards someone who is most likely to conduct a business.
Without any hesitation, he just nods and his two guards are already trying to seize him with extreme force. "I'm running out of patience Jonathan! Where's my goddamn money." he looked at Jonathan with a glare that sent shivers throughout his whole body.
"Give me time! I swear! I I will pay you back please." the guy just smirked, looking such amusement towards Jonathan.
"Don't make me upset. There are rumors about how things aren't going well between the two of you, you know." the man grinned and he leaned on Jonathan. "Do your job, you piece of trash or this will be the end of you. If I don't get my money by the end of the month, you're dead."
Jonathan gulped. "I will get it for you, I promise."
"You better." the man just looked at his guards and they let him go.
"Well then, you should go and take care of your fiancé. Make sure she doesn't get any strange ideas." without further look towards Jonathan, the man and his guards just simply walked away as if nothing happened.
As Jonathan watched them walk away, he stormed off in the opposite direction.
" Damn that woman! This would've just been easier if she should stay quiet like she always does." She used to bow down her head and act like she doesn't know a thing but now… She's a different person.
"You there, where is Lady Alicia?" Jonathan asked towards a waitress.
"Lady Alicia? I've seen her heading towards the garden" she pointed out.
"Isee. Thanks" Jonathan went after Alicia. "Tsk. That troublesome woman."
--------------------------------
I followed the Prince out here in the gardens but.. I don't know if I should start talking to him besides... the way I am right now feels like I'm stalking!
It's not like we're close to each other and I have no idea what to call him. A nobleman? Since he is disguised as one or Prince?? Who knew introducing yourself is so hard.
He suddenly stopped walking and made a turn towards me.
"What's your business?" the Prince said as he slowly looked towards me with a murdering stare.
Ignoring my nervousness I chose to make a curtsy and bow to him.
"May you be at peace with the Goddess, Your Royal Highness. My name is Alicia McMillian, the daughter of Duke Harold McMillian and his heir"
He laughed. "I believe you're mistaken, Miss Alicia. I Am Duke Micheal Horenvolt, I'm just a simple businessman" Damn he's handsome and I almost got duped by his face. But you can't judge a book by its cover.
You may change your hair color and eyes but I know what you really look like, Your Highness. He always smiles like an angel but behind that mask… Is a man crueler than the devil himself.
"Forgive me but spare the nonsense, Prince Adriene. I know it's you since you're under a disguise due to magic." He flinched.
"How do you know this?" He looked at me as if he's gonna sentence me to death. "Are you a spy?"
"I was never a spy. And I don't feel comfortable talking about such matters in an open space but... it's regarding about the royal seal." he eyed me suspiciously.
"I've seen it. It's inside a secret pocket to your coat. You were talking to some of the most powerful new politicians and mages earlier and to make them believe that you're really the Prince undercover, you had to show them the seal."
Of course, I've never seen it! I just basically remembered all of it from the novel.
He just smirked. "That was quite a surprise. I was pretty sure that I was extremely careful with that." he brushed his hair as if he was exhausted. "Damn.. He's gonna get mad at me later.." I heard him mutter.
"So what do you want?" cold blooded, I' am even shaking at the sight of him.
"I-I'm here to offer you a deal." he put his hands inside the pockets in his pants. Wow he does this calmly…
"Oh? What kind of deal?" he just raised his eyebrow and smirked at me. Damn two faced..
If there's anyone who's actually listening to my prayers up there, please guide me.
