Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 25: Disappointing The Prince's Plan
**note
I had originally intended to use another date to be different from Earth, but as I was confused to think of its name, I decided to cancel it.

yeah, we finally got to Romeon even though it was night time anyway. Dad would have known this incident, so once we got out of the forest area there were already about 300 soldiers waiting for us.
the condition of the princess has improved. huhh fortunately there are no serious injuries on her body, but it can defend against even killing three orc evolution with semi-rank one alone, alone, what kind of monster is Princess Aurellia?
I am indeed strong, but even that was thanks to the fragment of Hades-sama's power that he gave me. Otherwise, maybe I will be left far behind with princess Aurellia right?
(that won't happen, even without a fragment of strength from me, you'll still be much stronger than princess Aurellia)
uh once a collision Hades-sama nyeletuk. usually he just kept quiet.may be watching me right now.
(no problem will occasionally appear. anyway I only mentioned a few times)
uh huh? what does this god say?
let it be. I think only humans who like to digress. it turns out gods too.
at the end of the journey we were escorted by the soldiers to reach the town of Randall. at the gate, Father, mother, and some of the father's servants immediately welcomed princess Aurellia and drove her to the mansion.
in the meantime I have asked my father for permission to take care of some things in the adventurer guild.Of course you let me.
arriving at the adventurer Guild I immediately made a report to the receptionist to explain the chronology of the events that befell the princess. later this letter would be sent to the central Guild and followed up by them by sending out the senior adventurers they had.
after I finished giving the report to the receptionist, I was invited by the Guild head, old man Eddy, to have tea with him.of course I received it with great pleasure.
there was actually nothing important we were talking about. I was just telling you about the monsters I have fought so far. As expected of the guild master, he was excited to hear about it.
ah right, the guild master is one of the people who knows my true strength.
as I was preparing to return home, the guild master suddenly asked me, "do you intend to make the princess the ruler of this country young master?"
I must be surprised by his question.
"why do you know my conversation with him?"
"well let's just say I have some cards under the cloak.but even with that I have to sacrifice a lot of mana.why can you make such a powerful barrier?!
hehh it turns out that there is such magic huh.it seems like it's a secret of his so I don't need to force it. I just have to make a much stronger barrier. but I was hoping who knew he'd want to break that secret later.
" well forget about your card.I don't intend to force you to unravel the secret.ah speaking of the princess, I have no intention of making her the ruler of this country.
he is indeed extraordinary, but in any case it is his own choice.after all, the struggle for power is always a troublesome thing wherever it is... if something happens maybe helping the princess become a ruler is a choice I should take.
thank you old man.in the next meeting let's make a scenario just in case. Now I say goodbye first. goodbye."

the next day in Venz.
"shit!! why did this plan fail. didn't you say that 'objects' could lure high-level monsters out of the forest?!! why did it still fail?!"
prince Lewis frustratedly hit his desk until the tea in his cup spilled.
his mood was bad today.a few days ago he was caught by his father sitting in the throne room while his father was still the king.
of course he got the punishment from his father.Of course, the one who coated this incident to his father was Princess Aurellia.
"that bastard always makes me fall into trouble.I will definitely avenge him.for sure! sure!!!"
Maximilian who stood beside prince Lewis calmed him down.
"quiet prince Lewis.if you are not clear-minded then you will not be able to avenge princess Aurellia."
"chart, shit! Alright-well!! I swear I'll definitely destroy that bitch right... uhuk-uhuk!!" so loud was the sentence he issued, Prince Lewis coughed.
seeing that Maximilian just exhaled his breath.
he would not have worked for the Prince had it not been for his father.In the fight for the throne, his father, Jhon Conrad, was on the side of prince Lewis.if the prince came to power, that would be a huge advantage for his father.
to be honest, he did not like his father very much.The only reason why he carried out his father's orders was to get his father's recognition.Therewith he could save the most valuable person for himself, his mother.
his mother was just a commoner who happened to have a beautiful face.he was forcibly kidnapped from both parents and made a concubine by Jhon Conrad.
the birth of Maximilian became a gift for his mother.although he hated Jhon Conrad, he could not hate his son. eventually he painstakingly raised Maximilian. essentially his mother loved him very much.
when he was seven years old, however, he was forcibly separated from his mother.This was because John Conrad's first wife was jealous of his mother's beauty and incited Jhon Conrad to exile him.
eventually his mother was exiled to the Commoner district of the capital, where she lived even close to each other in a dangerous slum.
in order to save his mother's face, Maximilian tried hard and studied diligently.he also read many books.whether when he was in the Conrad region or while in the academy.
his efforts paid off by becoming the best graduate in the academy. eventually his father appointed him to be an adviser to prince Lewis.
Maximilian again saw the report given by the followers of prince Lewis.in the report it is written that a child Marquis Randall named Issac has managed to eradicate the monster that ambushed the princess.
according to his brother, the talent of Issac did not stand out at all but...
any plan devised by his father to destroy Marquis Randall has always failed lately.....
Maximilian decided to find out about Issac Randall later.Now he must appease this foolish prince.
it's really tiring, grunt.
