Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 234.3

Three more horses appeared from the other side of the dark night road, and the man at the front of them, archer at the top, bowed while still on his horse.

“You are Prime Minister Melrose, I believe.”

“…Your Honor, Kirkland?”

“Indeed. I am Kirkland, Captain of the Second Knights. It has been a long time since we last spoke face to face.”

“Oh, what are you doing?”

It was him who shot the arrow earlier. He is a handsome young man in his thirties, the second son of Viscount Kirkland, and Bert remembers being introduced to him at evening parties as a young but capable knight.

Bert had also received a report from the dark side that the king’s younger brother Amol had taken over the Second Knights and was gathering weapons among them.

After consulting with Margrave Dandol, the commander of the Grand Knights, they had agreed to patrol the royal capital and send out guards from the Knights and the dark side, but that was only two days ago and no further reports had been received.

Even if they were to gather soldiers and do something, there was only so much they could do with just a few hundred people. If they were to do something, they would need several times as many soldiers, otherwise even if they encountered and defeated the Third Knights, who were guarding the area around the royal capital, they would be exhausted and would have difficulty using their troops properly.

Besides, Amol is the younger brother of the king. He is currently infatuated with a strange woman, but as a member of the royal family, he would not act rashly, and he thought it was common sense.

Will they attack somewhere? What would happen then? Even if they accomplished something, all that would remain afterwards would be the stigma of treason and the dishonorable result of being defeated and “death”.

Amol was not such a foolish person. Bert, who had known Amol since he was a child and the youngest prince, thought so.

At least, if he was going to start something, he would have been able to sense the signs. But–

“Of course, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. It is to kill you and the Grand Master of the Knights, and to make His Royal Highness the rightful Crown Prince King.”

“What…?”

Bert’s eyes widened at Kirkland’s words. People who try to push their opinions from the start are often not sensible, but this is going too far.

Were you so foolish? Were you so shortsighted?

“Did you meet the Third Knights?”

“No, of course we did. They were a patrol platoon, but we destroyed several of them. If it had been us before, we would have suffered damage, but now we have the “Gift” of His Highness the King’s brother.”

“…”

The King’s brother Amol’s Gift… If you hear it, it seems like an honor to fight under Amol’s command, but there are rumors that Amol actually has a {Gift}.

“Do you think you can win with just three people?”

The four knights guarding Bert are rank 3, and Oz, the knight of the dark side, is also a rank 3 warrior. Bert himself is rank 3, even though he has left the front line, and Mikhail has the strength of a rank 2 at this age.
