Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 200.2

The second Prince, the son of the same concubine, was mild-mannered and could be incorporated into the empress’s faction rather than his own mother’s faction. From this point on, he was planning to move with an intention to boost Aslan.

I was taken aback by the Crown Princess’s statement, which could have been taken as an ill-considered one, but if Princess Elena was, in fact, the Crown Princess, the position of the next emperor would be secure.

The knight in front of me was also an intermediary from the crown prince’s side who had been brought in through connections. He was formerly a member of the underworld and now served as a warrior under a certain person’s employ.

His ability was comparable to that of a rank 4 Assassin, despite that, he said that the daughter of the baroness who gave him goosebumps was probably more skilled than him, although it was difficult to believe from her appearance.

“I can’t beat that thing in a direct fight… But if you just want to hurt her, I can do something about it, without doing it myself.”

“Can I leave it to you to take care of it? Elam.”

“Leave that part to me. No matter how strong she is, I’ll show the inexperienced little girl how dirty an adult can be.”

As Elam turned to leave the room, Demir saw where he was headed and called out behind him.

“Please give my best regards to Lord Radwaan.”

“Yes, sir.”

Elam bowed his head in a theatrical gesture, and he walked straight out of the castle, not into the Knight’s Quarters.

Some time after the audience, the old butler who visited the guest house told me about a person of note that he had been researching.

Lord Demir, who followed the Crown Prince at that time, was also one of the Crown Prince’s relatives and a member of the Crown Prince’s faction…or to be more precise, a member of the concubine’s faction, who had achieved his current position through influence.

The Dowager Empress had already passed away, and in the royal palace, her power was split between the two-current Empress, one of which was Ron’s own mother.

“But Lord Demir is only one of the pawns. We have kept this from you as it is none of your business, but there is someone else who, we think, is behind this.”

The person behind the Crown Prince and concubine Queen’s faction was not a nobleman, but a merchant family away from the nobles.

People may think that they were mere merchants, but the Radwaan Trading Company was an old merchant family that had been existing for more than a dozen generations in the empire, and by lending money to several noble families, they sent their relatives as wives and concubines, and came to have a voice even in the senior noble families.

One of these noble families was the Marquis Demir, who had sent the Crown Prince’s mother, the Princess Maria, to the city, and the Princess Maria’s faction was apparently gaining more and more influence through the power of its money.

Regardless of the Crown Prince’s own intentions, it would be easy to make him change his opinion if he was surrounded by nobles with the Radwaan Trading Company’s influence.

But I have no intention of meddling in that because Elena could probably fulfill what Ron wanted to a certain extent from a political point of view, but Ron would not want that.

I have no intention of meddling.

That was as long as Elena and her friends were not meddled with…
