The Eternal Debauchery's

who led the ll

"i think I heard that some of you are not satisfied with my sister."

An icy cold killing intent filled the surroundings. Instantly, all voices fell silent, and even the forest itself became silent.

I could see the fear and unease on the faces of many students. Although I had just unleashed a hint of killing intent, it was enough to overwhelm some of the weaker students.

"Claus, you're here!" Dina smiled happily when she saw me. At the same time, his eyes showed a hint of relief.

I nodded at him to show that everything was fine before turning my gaze again at Alan's accomplice.

The leader of the group of people who oppose my sister in charge of this group are people I already know. Actually, the last time I saw them was a month ago.

Arami, Harry, Cole, and Kyle.

Actually, I could also see Al among them, but he hid in fear as soon as he saw me.

They are the same people who faced us in a duel a month ago.

Of course, it was not as if my sister was without her own support. Besides Andrea, I could also see Katherine, Rose, Clara, Louise, Tear teacher, and many more teachers and students.

Therefore, the situation between the two groups was somewhat balanced.

If I don't show up, the end result is debatable.

Of course, it's only if I'm not here.

Arami and the others frowned when I arrived. They know that the situation has changed a lot more complicated now that I am here.

However, they did not plan to give up.

The one who stepped forward was Cole. He suppressed the ice-cold killing intent I was emitting and stood in front of me.

"His Highness Prince Claus, it's good to see you're okay."

I smiled cynically. "Thul? Why do I feel like you'd prefer it if I didn't show up? ”

Cole fell silent. However, he immediately shook his head.

“i am a man loyal to the empire. I will never want anything to harm the empire. ”

I laughed amusedly. That's a great way to insinuate that I'm harming the empire.

Beside that -

“In other words, the best for the empire now is to punish my sister, yes.”

Cole frowned, however, he did not budge.

“Your Majesty, I am not against Her Highness the princess, however, it is a fact that she is not the most indicated to lead this group. Last night, during the attack, seven students were killed and several others were injured! With better command, I'm sure our losses will be less!”

I could feel Dina frowning. At the same time, many students seem to agree with Cole's opinion.

In the end, Cole and the others were strong upperclassmen, famous throughout the institute and with high positions among many nobles.

Even when they were defeated in the recent duel, the influence they had at the institute was not something that Dina could easily ignore.

I stared fixedly at Cole before nodding.

"In other words, you think that my sister is not qualified to lead this group?" my spoken.

"right."

My lips curled into a smile.I then turned towards teacher Tear.

“Teacher, may I ask, how many students are in this place?”

Although Tear was confused by my question, she still answered. “... More than seventy percent of students gather here.”

"Good." I'm nodding. “Then, how are they collected?”

“Yes, Princess Dina sent a team around the forest when she realized something was wrong.”

“And only seven students died, right? How are the daemons?” I asked again.

This time, Katherine, the leader of the student guards replied. “Twenty daemons between sixth layer and ninth layer. We managed to kill ten of them thanks to a quick reaction and orders from the princess and help from the teachers, but the others escaped.”

“... Okay, and how many daemons have these friends killed?” I said while looking at Cole and the others.

Katherine surprised. A second later, he curled his lips in disdain. "Just one."

I smiled coldly. “In other words, these people criticized my brother, who gathered this many students and arranged them to defend against the daemon, whereas they did almost nothing?”

Cole furrowed his brows when he heard my words.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

My expression turned icy cold. “As I said, young master Cole. Do you know how many dead students I saw on the way to here? Thirty-four. Thirty-four students died because no one organized and helped them!"

Cole furrowed his brows. He could see some of the students looking shocked and indecisive after hearing my words.

He quickly looked for a solution in his mind, and soon, something came to him.

“Your Majesty, I'm just saying that Her Highness the princess is not the most qualified for this position. She is a woman for the love of goddesses! How can he lead us to fight the invader daemon!?”

a woman for the love of the goddess? in other words meek?

I raised my eyebrows in surprise and amusement. Man, you just dug a giant trap for yourself.

… And almost instantly, this trap showed its fangs.

Before Cole's words were finished, he felt several cold gazes fixed on him.

And the first to step forward was the ice-cold leader of the student guards, Katherine.

"Are you saying that women are inferior to men !?"

These words seemed to spark the anger of all the women around him. His angry gaze focused on Cole, waiting for one wrong word to pounce on him.

Cole's expression darkened. After realizing his mistake, he hurriedly tried to find a way to defuse the situation.

In the end, only one thing came to his mind.

“... Prince, don't you think you can do a better job of leading this group than the princess?”

Almost instantly, all the gazes were on me.

I laughed in my heart. Clever.

Under normal circumstances, these words would check me out.

If I say I can't, it means giving a good chance to gain prestige for the stronghold in advance of the battle for the throne. Moreover, the news that I claimed to be inferior to my sister would spread throughout the empire.

But if I say yes, I will admit that Cole is right, and at the same time, I will get the hostility of all the women in this group.

I could see a satisfied smile on Cole's face. At this point, he probably thought he was winning.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated something.

From the beginning, I was never interested in the throne.

I looked straight into Cole's eyes and smiled. Then, I turned around and walked until I was in front of my brother.

Before Cole and the others understood what I was doing, I knelt down and bowed.

“I, Claus Quintin, swear allegiance to Dina Quintin. I swore that I would follow his orders no matter what he said and become the sword that cleared his way. May the goddess witness this oath.”

My words were spoken clearly and loudly, reaching the ears of every student in this camp. Many students gasped in shock, while others opened their eyes wide. Even Cole and his friends opened their eyes in disbelief.

Dina also looked at me with a astonished expression. Although I had told him that I would support him in the fight for the throne, he never thought I would do something like this.

It was the same as I openly admitted that I considered my brother more suited to this role than I was.

Moreover, this was the first step to tell the empire that he, Dina Quintin, could also become emperor.

Dina's eyes twitched. Her beautiful black eyes had become wet, almost crying. If not for the fact that she needed to maintain her current dignity, she would have probably cried and threw herself into my arms.

Instead, she simply took a deep breath to calm herself down, before nodding and helping me stand up. "i accept your vow."

With these words, the frozen time in the camp returned to normal.

Many students looked at each other not believing what had just happened. In fact, some of them pinch themselves to make sure this is not a dream.

I smiled gently at my brother and turned around, smiling at Cole.

“Does that answer your question?”

"You ..." Cole completely froze. He never expected the situation to develop in this way. "you're crazy."

I shrugged. “you misunderstood something, young master Cole. Don't you know my nickname in the empire? The (Fanatic Sword). Although my strength is indeed higher than my sister's, I admit that I'm not as good as her in terms of leading people."

It was a lie, but the students here did not know it.

So, when they heard my words, the way they looked at my brother changed.

The fact that the other princes, let alone the ones whose powers were widely known, acknowledged that the princess was better than him, shocked them.

Dina opened her lips to say something, but before she could speak, someone else interrupted the conversation.

“It looks like something important is going on here, may I ask what it is?”

When that voice sounded, many of the students' expressions changed. While the others looked at each other as if watching a good show.

Crown Prince Alan is here.
