I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 274
The side story ‘Father-in-Laws’. Give me your daughters! (10)
While Corinne went to get approval for the marriage, Estelle and Miriam decided to persuade their parents in advance.
“It would be best for everyone to get married together.”
“…….”
The daughters’ unconventional proposal. Corin Locke Harem Plan. That doesn’t mean King David didn’t get excited after hearing that.
But he was quite cool-headed.
He accepted Corinne Locke, a prominent figure of the times, as his son-in-law, and calculated the effect of subordinating the wife candidates, who had become powerful figures in various places, to the royal family.
Marie Dunareff.
There is no need to mention the value of the great nobleman Dunarev.
It was a virtue of past kings not to clash with those who had been solid allies of the royal family for a long time.
Runia Aden Arisha Aden.
These two are candidates for the next head of the Arden family. From now on, it won’t matter which of the two becomes the head of the family.
Since they are the wives of a man anyway, their power will always be used for Corin.
Hwaran.
The special Ginger City from the East, which Chairman Merkava brought in 4 years ago, was a topic that was treated quite hotly by the royal family.
There was some anxiety in terms of mental control, but his power was truly incredible. There was also a political calculation that it would be reassuring if it was used as a force for the kingdom.
Now, there is a difficulty in that the child only follows Corin’s son-in-law.
Erin Danua, Chairman of the Board.
Merkava Academy is the most important institution in the kingdom.
The most important institution that trains knights and wizards who are the core of military power.
It is surprising that the chairman of such an institution has a crush on a student, but considering the chairman’s influence on the entire Guardian, he is no less than others.
“It’s a bit much… I guess.”
“That’s right! Corrin’s younger brother is not a normal human! I think it’ll be okay!”
“Estel seems strangely excited.”
David looked at Estelle, who looked strangely excited, and looked puzzled.
Miriam was not very pleased with this harem plan. Rather, it feels like they want to take at least the minimum profit to avoid the maximum loss.
However, Estelle was actively carrying out a harem plan that any woman would reject.
“Hehe~ There is such a thing. Abama.”
Estelle was also negative about the harem plan.
She wanted to monopolize the seat next to the Sun God, saying that it was her seat as the Earth Mother.
But I realized that wasn’t possible, so I took action. She whined in front of Corin and showed a woman’s tears.
“Sobbing…! Corin’s younger brother. I’m sad…”
“Are you crying? sorry. “I was wrong.”
The little brother who fidgeted with the crying girl was really cute.
In fact, he was a single-minded man who beat up so many women and insisted on monogamy until the end. Because I had a negative and guilty feeling about the harem.
While Corin was confused, Estelle quietly added her request.
“I don’t like it, but… I need to convince the kingdom’s citizens for the sake of the harem.”
Estelle persuaded with a clever tone of voice.
A large-scale propaganda plan that will lead to the reformation of the world’s faith and subsequent kingship.
What is the point of serving a fake god when a true god exists?
Corin, who had been lukewarm about the article of faith until now, calling it ‘childish’, actively agreed to the future plan.
“Human life is short. “If you continue to be a god for a long time, other children will be able to love you for a long time too!”
It wasn’t that difficult to convince my husband, who had a sense of debt and guilt.
‘Hehe… If this harem plan comes true, I will reform the faith of the continent… no, the whole world. If you taste the true existence of God and miracles, people will have no choice but to follow.’
She was now aware of her power. What Undri of the Infinite Cauldron and Danan of the Earth can do.
Because she had a divinity that was as important as the sun or light in this world.
“Uhuhuhu…! It won’t be long before the continent’s believers will praise this Earth Goddess!”
Miriam, who heard the plan, clicked her tongue and became sarcastic.
“I can’t believe you were a devout believer until a few years ago.”
Let’s say the same goes for saints. Although Estelle was very self-conscious, her faith in the Lord was quite devout.
That’s right. How can you not believe in a God who gives you what you pray for?
However, after realizing that it was entirely her talent and an atavism that was possible due to her bloodline from old gods and giants, Estelle abandoned her faith in the Lord.
And he had the ambition to become a god.
“No matter what kind of fallen believer I bring, it won’t be as bad as you.”
“Hehe, don’t be like that. Shouldn’t our Mir also have a place as a god?”
“…Is that really possible?”
Miriam was skeptical when she heard Estelle’s plan for the Second Coming and reformation of her faith.
Of course, the power that Tates Balthazar and Corin Locke showed in the Solar War was a power that was difficult to understand unless they were ‘divine’ beings.
It makes the light of the world disappear and the sun descends.
Although I knew about the existence of Danan who existed in this world, I had doubts about whether an ordinary human could really become a god or whether a new myth could come.
“I saved a place for Mir~ I took priority. What kind of goddess do you want to be?”
“…What is there?”
Could this be the status that Tates Balthazar proposed to his subordinates?
If anyone can become a god, anyone can betray humanity.
He used to prioritize revenge over being a god, but things have changed now.
After giving up revenge and vowing to become a man’s wife, it was natural for her to hope that her love would last forever.
Because now Corin Locke is her reason for living.
“……I’ll think about it.”
While Estelle and Mir are progressing their harem plan at the royal court.
Opposition came from unexpected places.
* * * *
Dozens of people were sitting with their knees bent in front of the main gate of the El Ras Palace in the scorching sunlight.
Some of the faces kneeling on the pavement of the palace were young, while others were old.
What they have in common is that they are royal officials.
In this country where the bureaucratic aristocracy grew under the influence of centralization, they were the subjects who discussed important matters of the country.
“Your Majesty! Please inform me!”
“”Please inform us!!””
The reason they are protesting like this in front of the royal palace is no different.
This is because rumors spread about the princesses’ national marriage partners.
Corin Locke.
A war hero of the Solar War and the protagonist of the prophecy spread by the church.
He becomes the sire of two princesses.
I can understand up to that point. There wasn’t anything to say it was a big problem.
But what if it’s not just the princess?
The only things that have been confirmed right now are Sister Marie Dunareff and Arden… There are even rumors that there are more.
Something is wrong. Even if it’s wrong, it’s definitely wrong.
Just a national marriage with the princess of a country is a great honor. It is an important matter for the country.
But you are taking both princesses as sire?
Even up to this point, it is an unprecedented national marriage, an honor for the family, and unbelievable good fortune.
Even if simultaneous national marriages with two princesses could somehow be allowed due to King David’s strong will, what about marrying other people?
This is unacceptable.
The young officials of the kingdom came out against this terrible and enviable behavior of Corin Locke.
-It’s an honor beyond words to marry princesses, but what about other women?
-Is this guy crazy?
-This is an act of lewd behavior that goes too far. Common people feel deprived.
Aside from young officials, what about the high-ranking officials who are in power in the kingdom?
They were concerned about a seismic change in the kingdom’s power.
Miriam is the leader of the noble faction. Although its power has shrunk due to the fall of Catholicism, the fundamental aristocratic power still remains.
Estelle is the only saint of the Unified Church, which became the continent’s largest religious force through bloody unification.
Not only the popes, who were at the center of Protestantism and Catholicism, but also more than half of the cardinals and bishops were saved, and the vacant positions were filled by the saint’s close associates.
Saint of the Living God. The public’s support is absolute.
This alone makes more than half of the kingdom’s forces belong to the Corin Locke faction. Additionally, this is a national wedding?
The Duke Lady, the heiress of Dunareff, and the Aden family, the losers of the East… What if the single strongest creature, the special Ginger City, is added?
It is inevitable that a tectonic shift in continental power will occur.
Power, wealth, power… even the people’s support and faith.
This is the birth of absolute power.
It must be stopped.
Even so, Corin Locke’s power is unusual.
He himself is the strongest knight of the era, succeeding Garand Aden, and each and every one of his unique connections is threatening.
But does it lead to marriage?
-This cannot happen. Has there ever been an absolute power like this in the history of the kingdom?
-It must be stopped. If they don’t get married, they can keep each other in check.
-The justification is sufficient. It is unheard of for a sire to marry someone else while marrying a member of the royal family.
-I’m fucking jealous. My stomach hurts.
“Your Highness…! Please revoke the national marriage with Corin Locke!”
“”Please withdraw!””
The birth of absolute power and envy and jealousy toward the man at the center of it.
It brought together in one place royalists, neutrals, and aristocrats.
* * * *
“These poor people?”
Estelle trembled as she saw the noble officials disrupting her marriage by causing a disturbance in front of the royal castle.
It is a tremor of anger, not embarrassment or fear.
“30% of the noble faction is already in favor.”
“Mir! It’s your faction! Do something!”
“There are quite a few from your faction, Estel. There are also former bishops and cardinals.”
“Traitors who rejected the true faith and left the denomination…”
Amid the unification of the denomination and revision of doctrine, not all believers and priests remained in the denomination.
Among Estelle’s radical integration and revision of heterogeneous doctrines, there were some who felt rejected and left.
You stupid bastards.
Estelle mocked them for worshiping a fake god without knowing the existence of a real god. He took for granted that they were never equal to him.
How dare they oppose the marriage of the Sun God and the Earth Mother?
“Heresy! Heretics!”
“Come to your senses, Estelle. In their shoes, you would be a heretic, right?”
“I am the will of God! No, I am God! They are the real pagans who cannot recognize a smart, beautiful, devoted, and great goddess like me!”
“…….”
Miriam shook her head as she looked at the fanatics who were becoming more and more extreme… or rather, the cultists who went beyond fanaticism and called themselves gods.
“Well… it looks like we still need to deal with the opposing forces.”
“Younger Corin won’t be able to do it. He has such a warm heart. Let’s take care of it in advance.”
“Huh… wives who engage in political maneuvering for their husbands’ harem… I wonder if this is true.”
Estelle and Miriam.
Each of the two princesses is a powerful woman who maintains and leads her own faction.
They punished those opposing national marriage quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
-What the hell! You! This Inquisitor?!
-Minister of State Bellona. You are under arrest on charges of heresy.
-We will investigate allegations of corruption by Vice Minister for Administration Marx. Please follow me.
-What? I have never taken a bribe in my life!
-You will know that if you investigate. Of course, I don’t know when you will come out of the interrogation room.
-Nenomduuuuuu!!
-Hehe, princess. I heard that those who oppose Master Corin’s marriage plan are being punished. In fact, our southern voice contains all kinds of corruption data about them –
the three major political forces that divide the kingdom into three.
The voice of the South representing the South, regardless of the religious faction of the 1st Princess faction or the noble faction of the 2nd Princess faction.
All major factions took action, including the voices of the South, who were absolute supporters of Corin Locke.
With his absolute divinity, power, and wealth, he began to crush the forces opposing national marriage.
Even King David, who was in favor of national marriage, was fed up with this merciless suppression and rampage and put a stop to it.
“Daughters! My father doesn’t think this is right! Stop the heresy interrogation and tax investigation right now!”
An attempt to have a national marriage ended up ruining the country. Of course, he was choosing Corin as the next king, but he judged that this atrocity had gone too far.
It was a judgment made by people with common sense, and the princesses are not people with common sense.
When the king’s right of veto and compulsory command was handed down, the princesses responded immediately.
-bang!
Break down, the roughly opened palace gate. In front of them are the first princess with a large bat and the second princess riding a huge snake.
Behind them were a mix of available paladins and private soldiers, so it was no wonder that someone had an ominous imagination.
“Wow, Her Royal Highnesses! What is happening in the sacred cabinet room…!”
“Abama, I was thinking about it.”
Estelle pushed the old minister’s shoulders to make him sit down and said with a smile.
“It seems that the faster the reform, the better.”
“daughter?”
Despite King David’s shaking voice, Estelle and Miriam slowly approached.
“Estelle will become the Pope of the Unified Church… so I decided to own this country.”
“Daughters… what on earth are you doing?”
“”I am inheriting the throne. Abama.””
This is the process leading up to the princesses’ coup.
And Corinne, who heard this whole process in summary──
“Why is it like this… Why is everyone like this… Why is there nothing normal…”
What if this continues even after marriage? Corinne said, “Why are you like this?” Life became unstable.
Meanwhile, the idolization of Korine and the harem sacrosanct law were being enforced under the military and bloody sword.
