Transmigration: Forced to Be a Fake

61 - let's go to the dark forest

Lumiel suddenly changed, displaying her black-skinned, black-haired and black-eyed figure.

He sat in the hands of the Meridian chair, smilingly showing off their relationship.

"I kidnapped her."

The Meridian creation table was broken by the magic overflow of three people.

"I asked him to beat me." Meridians snap fingers to create a new table. "Don't be too concerned about stupid things. Now the business is Ruben."

"How did Miss say that?! Do you remember how Miss was back?!"

Lumiel stared at the strange Herdian. "I don't know how you look at this woman of mine, but don't you overdo it seeing her as a good girl? He's a bad boy."

"Your lady?" The eyes of the reptile Andaru appear even though the magic cannot arrive due to the difference in distance. "I don't know how you can see my future wife as your woman, but don't you over-comprehend being used by her as a form of romantic relationship?"

"Don't follow their folly, Dion, Luke." Meridians commemorate before the two of them come throwing nonsense. "And this is not the time to talk about relationships, Your Majesty, Lumiel. So shut up."

The two glared at each other, but obediently.

"Let's get back to the problem. So, no one can be sure of Ruben's subordinates?"

"Your thinking is scary anyway." Luke clucked. "Who is willing to ascertain the identity of one by one dead enemies?"

"Then now we wonder about it, where do we get the answer if we don't confirm it in the first place, Brother?" Meridian forgets that this is still Laila's novel. "All right, forget it. I'll assume that Ruben already suspected Lumiel's betrayal."

"That's hard to accept, Meridian." Dion breathed. "Even if the showdown at that time was your scenario, how could he have expected it in just a few hours?"

"He expected it before it happened."

"Why?"

"Because he's smart."

Meridians admired him greatly. Ruben's steps began to be seen in his eyes which was the third person of the novel. Even if it's just an assumption, it's stronger than saying coincidence.

"He's very clever. After all if it was rethought, the risk of the plan of hiring bandits to master the dungeon was rather ridiculous. If the clever Ruben puts confidence in victory when everything is going mediocre, then he is not a smart man. That is, he did not expect too much."

"Miss, he lost his kingdom."

Andaru was not in denial, but provoked a completely definite conclusion before they made a strategy.

Meridian would have trouble answering if he had no special powers. Because normally everything is viewed from profit and loss, not uncertainty such as personality or ambition.

But this is a novel. This world is a novel world. That is enough to make a profit and loss does not apply, but rather the emotions and ambitions that play out.

Villain is strong, smart, cunning, ambitious. Why would he who is smart throw away his kingdom? Why would he be the smart one to cooperate with the temple that he hated? Why does the smart one hate witches and collect black witches?

Why would he who was smart, know Lumiel betrayed him but still give him a job for not caring about the risks, doing all these things?

Villain with such characteristics means ....

"What if Reuben was confident in his victory, and in doing so he declared power to the world? Didn't history say the chimera could even kill the strongest hero of its time?"

"...."

"What if he has prepared many types of plans and let any plan work, then will choose when he sees which gives certainty? Chimera, black magic, allied with the temple, made poison, and anything else we don't know, where it works, what if she does?"

It gave Meridians an idea.

"...."

"If we win, the temple will be destroyed. Reuben fought us to the fullest while we still recovered from the battle with the temple. If the temple won, then Ruben stayed to attack the temple which also suffered from the effects of war. That's a true victory."

"But if it's true like that, why doesn't the temple know about your powers?"

"Did the holy kingdom not know?"

Temples and holy kingdoms are basically the same. The sacred kingdom is the center, the temple is the branch. But the center does not always tell its branches. After all, the temple was in charge of finding followers, not in charge of managing wars.

So rather than watching those who are focused on attracting enthusiasts, why not focus on observing the brain from their movements?

Andaru shriveled seriously as he understood it. "Entering the territory requires a very complicated procedure, Miss. And, only the Emperor's permission could bring someone there. I also cannot. If I ask permission, then I must include my reasons to the Emperor. It's the same as dismantling the whole thing."

"Then the temple is not something we should care about." Meridians cross legs. "In this way, let's start making conclusions. Reuben was on a different side to the temple, but he allied himself with a high priest who had temple authority."

"...."

"On the other hand, let's assume the holy kingdom can attack at any time or at least know and prepare itself. Well then, the most important question is, how do we win the war?"

Again they stared at the strange meridians.

Aye, yes. Women shouldn't understand that much about war.

But isn't that a question later, if the war is over? After all Meridians put forward arguments that their common sense could digest so there should be no contradiction.

This world was also not a real world of nobles in women completely discriminated against. As the main character, Meridians were the most important existences and his speech was the most heard.

So stop acting like he's weird.

"I'm straightforward, I'm confident in my strength now. With Dion, Luke, Herdian and Lumiel, as well as your help and your soldiers, Your Majesty, we can win the war."

"That sounds very flattering, Miss." Andaru smiled proudly.

"However that doesn't make sense."

Meridian supports chin.

"If Reuben had a chimera and the priests had some kind of holy power, then it means we should also have something much bigger and destructive. Something that can also guarantee victory."

There was a long silence as they thought about it.

"The Elgard Family will be with you, Miss." Herdian volunteered.

"thank you. But I want something bigger."

"Should I also carry out a coup?" Andaru smiled sweetly. "I'll do it as an offering to you, Nonaku. So leave the black creature."

"Your Majesty—"

"Let's go to the dark forest." Lumiel. "Find the stone. The demon army is a guarantee of great victory. Didn't you?"

Meridian jerks.

Why didn't he think about it?
