I Am No King's

Chapter 141 – Dispute with King, Again

"We want to talk about some of the nobles who committed the murder of the people a few days ago."

　

The one who spoke to me was not Fahren, but Empress Rahayu. Fahren just fell silent, throwing a look out the window.

　

My comrades also fell silent, sitting on the right and left. However, they did not look out the window like Fahren. They bow their heads. Every now and then, Inanna or Shinar smell their bodies. The Emir was already wearing a jacket, just like Inanna.

　

Unlike the Emir's car, where the seat is only one behind. This car has two long seats on the right and left.

　

So, at this time, the only ones talking were me and Queen Rahayu.

　

"Let me guess. You're not going to punish them, are you?"

　

"...did anyone tell you?"

　

"No. No one told me." I rejected the alleged consort Rahayu. "I can already estimate it. If you punish all those nobles simultaneously, then they will make an alliance and try to stage a coup. In other words, civil war."

　

Come onl. You guys have known me long enough. Why would such a small thing still be surprised?

　

Empress Rahayu pouted. He did not even bother to give a wry smile. Apparently, this matter was a serious matter for the kingdom.

　

"However, if left unchecked, this could give an indication that the royal family no longer has power. Aye, right?"

　

"yeah. We worry about the same thing. Therefore, we need you."

　

"For?"

　

"Right now, even though their status is that of an agent who's being let go, their status is still that of an agent under you. So, I want you to punish them."

　

"You want me to do pemberi–"

　

"No! I'm asking you to impose penalties other than cleaning!"

　

Empress Rahayu cut me off quickly. He really hated that word.

　

"Have you ever thought about the lives of the children whose families you have cleansed? Like the Menia family kids you just cleaned up just because one person betrayed?"

　

"He himself signed the loyalty statement. And, in my opinion, I'm still pretty good, considering I let them live in an orphanage run directly by my mother, not an incompetent royal family. Like for example, the one Prince Charisma managed."

　

"You said it was good?"

　

"I said pretty good. If I'm really kind, I've cleaned them too. That way, at least, they won't suffer. Or should I imitate the Cleinhad family?"

　

"Lugalgin! Don't talk about it here!"

　

Fahren finally opened his mouth. He no longer threw his eyes out, but looked at me. And, the first thing that appeared from his mouth was a snatch.

　

"Looking at your reaction, it seems that Empress Rahayu doesn't know much about the Cleinhad family. In this room..."

　

I looked towards Ninlil. Honestly, I don't know Ninlil's moves. Most likely he had already heard his story from Inanna and the Emir. And, nodding Ninlil, justifying my guess.

　

"That means, in this room, only Empress Rahayu doesn't know about the facts behind the Cleinhad family."

　

"You told an outsider the secret of the kingdom?"

　

"Ha...Ha.." I laughed cynically. "Why not? Inanna is my future wife. In fact, my mother preferred Inanna over Emir. And again, it's been almost three years that I've been trading this information. I mean, there are a lot of relationships that these kids are still looking for. I'm still looking for some children who are victims of the Cleinhad family."

　

"Kids?"

　

Fahren said nothing. He just fell silent, gritting his teeth.

　

On the other hand, although apparently curious, Empress Rahayu did not continue the discussion of the Cleinhad family. Quite the contrary, he was trying to bring back the topic of conversation.

　

"The point is, Gin, we want you to impose penalties other than purge."

　

"If I can't clean them up, give me a solution of what punishment I should impose."

　

"You can–"

　

"Before the Empress replied, I wanted to say something." I interrupted the Empress. "Was the empress aware that if the sentence was inflicted leaving children alone, or was only enforced on one or two people, the risk was very great?"

　

"You mean?"

　

Uh? Wait up? The empress still dared to ask what did I mean? You must be kidding, right? Is the Empress still naive? Hopefully not.

　

　

"Of course I thought about it."

　

"That means, the empress is also aware that the Emir is currently a priority target?"

　

"..."

　

Apparently, the new empress is conscious.

　

On the other hand, Fahren did not respond at all. Meaning, it is likely that Fahren realized it and did not tell Empress Rahayu. A harmonious husband and wife relationship!

　

"Dad, did you just let me be in the dark?"

　

Fahren still won't answer. Apparently, he's really upset.

　

Honestly, if I may say, this king is unstable. In the beginning, she supported me to the fullest, even conspiring with Arid to make Inanna and my Emir wife. However, later, he looked puzzled when I told him that I knew about the illegal activities of the Cleinhad family.

　

After that, suddenly, Fahren seemed to regret his act of letting the Cleinhad family. In fact, she even cried. Now, however, he does not want to punish the nobles who supported the Cleinhad family, who would not obey me.

　

And, now, he seemed unwilling to accept the fact that the people who were with me knew the bad side of this kingdom. On the other hand, she let Empress Rahayu be in the dark.

　

If it's like this, chances are, Fahren and Arid are planning to make me a puppet King. Under the pretext of restoring the glory of the Kish kingdom, they will conquer the surrounding kingdoms and countries. In the end, it seems, they just want power. Might as well.

　

"Empress Rahayu, let me–"

　

"No, Gin. Let me." Let me." Emir interrupted. "Mothers. Actually, if Lugalgin hadn't killed all the family members involved, then it was highly likely that they would have targeted the closest people in Lugalgin, I and Inanna."

　

When he heard the Emir's words, the Empress's eyes widened. He also held his breath, waiting for further explanation Emir.

　

"It's not just me and Inanna. Ninlil, Ninshubur, Aunt Yueni, and Aunt Filial are also threatened. In fact, the safety of Aunt Filial and Ninshubur is much more threatened because they are not citizens of this kingdom. The law cannot really protect them.

　

"Right now, Lugalgin was trying to draw all the attention to him, and gave the impression that he could only win if he fought cunningly, giving the impression that he was weak. In doing so, the attention of the nobles who wanted revenge was centered on him, ignoring us."

　

"Emir is right, Empress Rahayu," Inanna continued. "I've never seen Lugalgin fight really seriously. However, if the moment comes when he is forced to fight seriously, and they realize that he is too strong, attention will be diverted to us, the people around Lugalgin, who seem weaker. When that happened, we were just tools to take revenge on Lugalgin."

　

"..."

　

The Queen did not respond further. Now, his face was completely sour. In fact, he was unable to throw a glance at us. He lowered his gaze with both hands clenched.

　

As her gaze descended, Empress Rahayu turned slightly to the left, towards Fahren who was just silent and gnashing his teeth. Seeing Fahren saying nothing, Empress Rahayu lowered her head again. Apparently, he realized that all the words of Emir and Inanna were true.

　

As I recall, the empress still needs to do local government management. I never thought there would still be a naive person who could do government management. Or maybe someone else is running government management?

　

When thinking of the other people running the government management for Empress Rahayu, only one person came to my mind, Princess Yurika. He's quite sly and clever. If anyone is going to run government management for Empress Rahayu, only she can.

　

On the other hand, I didn't expect the Emir and Inanna to know my ulterior motives. Yeah, nevermind. They're my future wife. No wonder they could guess my way of thinking.

　

Back to the main problem.

　

Seriate
