The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 368
Chapter 368:
That Time.
Sarkegar was contacting Owen de Getmora in disguise.
Arriving at the place where the leadership meeting was held, Sarkegar faced only one person.
Owen de Getmora.
No one was present except him.
“… … What trick is this?”
At the words of Sarkegar, who was wearing a black robe, Owen de Getmorah gently closed his eyes.
“Actually, I would like to convey an rude word.”
“excuse?”
“Yes, it’s a big excuse.”
Owen says while looking at the person wearing an unidentified black robe.
“I would like to borrow your names from the imperial family once without permission.”
“… … what are you talking about.”
Members of the revolutionary forces mention the imperial family. Sarkegar had a hunch that there was something strangely wrong with the situation.
“Due to a previous incident, the imperial family found out that by borrowing your names, we can solve complex problems quite easily.”
Sarkegar naturally realizes through those words.
Owen de Getmoura is a traitor.
“So I want to tell you that I am confessing directly like this to solve the Empire’s problems, not to have an uncomfortable relationship with them.”
“… … .”
“His Highness, the First Prince, wants to maintain a good relationship with you. You are also acknowledging that you are what the Empire needs.”
1st prince.
Bertus de Gradias.
Sarkegar thought he was in contact with the revolutionary forces, but in fact he was contacted by Bertus’s spy.
“So, I hope that no matter what happens this time, you will be kind enough to understand.”
They are trying to do something by borrowing the name of Dark Land.
“I don’t know about the first prince, but do you think you’ll be all right?”
“Whether I reach the revolutionary forces or the imperial family, you can get what you want through me. Rather, wouldn’t it be better for you to talk with the imperial family rather than with the revolutionary forces?”
Even in front of the unidentified demon called Owen de Getmo, he did not show any panic, loss of composure, or fear.
“Isn’t that enough?”
What the Merchant Guild Master said was true.
However, the very fact of being taken advantage of was bound to be a distaste for Sarkegar.
They are weak after all.
Just because you want to use it, you can’t really just use it.
In this way, there was no choice but to be used against the wrong forces.

Saviolin Tana, along with the Chanafell Knights in black camouflage, were staring at the meeting room lined with corpses.
It was dirty.
Although it is to punish the traitors of the empire, it must be disguised as the work of demons.
Saviolin Tana agreed with Bertus’ words that this was the best.
However, seeing the corpse’s death by disguising it as that of the demons, even she, who had become insensitive to slaughter, felt like vomiting.
Is this something I have to do?
There were also faces she knew among the leaders of the revolutionary forces.
There were several people who wanted this person, and one of them was in front of Saviolin Tana’s eyes.
With her eyes wide open, she sees the dead body of Duke Arthur de Grantz.
and.
It was only in name, but I ran into it from time to time while working as a housekeeper.
‘I want you to follow me?’
‘Ah Okay… … .’
‘Am I eating it? Why are you always scared? Oh hello Should I be a teacher? Or Sir Tana… … . Should I?’
‘It’s good as a teacher.’
‘Ah yes. hello teacher.’
A bit rough, but always a bright girl’s appearance overlapped.
What will the child’s expression look like in the future? how will the child live?
I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, but I feel like I know it even if I don’t see it. Saviolin Tana gritted her teeth.
Saviolin Tana closed the eyes of Duke Grantz.
I know it doesn’t make anything better, but I felt like I had to.
“How did you get the attention of the guards?”
“I think the guards will arrive here in about 15 minutes.”
“good. We withdraw first.”
Saviolin Tana fulfilled the secret order.
She had a hunch that another disturbance would break out in the empire.

Imperial Castle Emperatos Winter Palace.
Bertus was drinking tea.
It was not the usual black tea or milk tea, but a green tea.
Bertus was not alone.
“It is green tea. Have you ever tried it? Tea leaves are the same as black tea, but the taste is completely different.”
In front of Bertus’ eyes, Oscar de Gradias, a member of the imperial family, was sitting stiffly.
“no… … . I’ve heard of it, but never drank it… … .”
“Is that so. Then you don’t even know what it tastes like, do you?”
“Yes… … ji.”
Oscar felt a strange fear when Bertus called him. Since they were members of the same royal family, they often encountered or talked to each other, but it was very rare for Bertus to directly call him like this.
“Let’s try it.”
“uh, ah… … . That’s right.”
Oscar, who took a sip of green tea at Bertus’ recommendation, did not have time to savor the bitter taste and scent that lingered at the tip of his nose.
why.
me.
Just that thought lingered in my head. Bertus stares at Oscar, who has taken a sip of green tea.
“How is it?”
“that… … . It smells good… … .”
“Now that you know the smell and taste of green tea, you might dream of drinking green tea.”
The incomprehensible sound sent goosebumps through Oscar before he was bewildered. Bertus looks at Oscar with a coy smile.
“Do you think a person who has never drank green tea can dream of drinking green tea? No, you can dream, but can you feel the same taste and aroma as this?”
“ah? that… … . probably not… … .”
“Yes. A person cannot feel a sensation in a dream that he has not experienced.”
What you don’t know is unknown
So you can’t even dream of it.
Only by experiencing it can a sensation be reproduced in a dream.
“A person who has never eaten meat can dream of eating meat. The meat in the dream would have no taste, texture, or smell, or it would be something completely different from reality. Anything else will be the same. It takes a long time to talk, and that’s what it is.”
Bertus takes another sip of green tea and looks at the winter scenery.
“You cannot dream about what you do not know. Even if you dream of it, it will be very different from what it actually is.”
“… … .”
“But I don’t know why they dream of things they never knew or experienced. without even knowing what it is Not knowing what kind of world it might be.”
Oscar was trembling at the tips of his hands. I tried to hide my trembling, but I couldn’t.
The gaze and words of Bertus, who knew everything, were neither violent nor aggressive, but they penetrated deeply into Oscar’s heart.
“I don’t know what it is so good about dreaming about a world that no one sees or knows about.”
Oscar couldn’t possibly meet Bertus’ gaze.
“me… … . Are you thinking of killing me?”
At Oscar’s miserable words, Bertus laughed.
“Brother, killing someone is only when it threatens me that much or helps me in his death.”
“… … .”
“Your brother’s neck is of no great value or threat to me or to the Empire.”
worthless life.
At those words, Oscar stared at the tea with his eyes wide open.
He was a member of the revolutionary faction, but not its leader. Even there, he wasn’t that important.
That’s why even now, when Bertus decided to use his hand, it wasn’t an important target.
“Since the ant said he had a dream, should I kill a member of the imperial family? It’s pitiful, but there’s no need to step on it.”
Oscar was speechless at Bertus’ open contempt and sarcasm.
“So, from now on, I am saying that you should know the subject well and behave properly.”
“… … .”
“answer. You have to.”
At Bertus’ cold command, Oscar opened his mouth with a trembling voice.
“Remember… … .”
Oscar de Gradias is an ant.
There is nothing that ants can do even if their dreams are shattered in front of their eyes.
After Oscar de Gradias had left, Bertus grabbed the teacup and gulped down the cooled green tea.
In an overcast sky, rain soon began to fall.
“I wanted to say thank you directly with my own mouth.”
-Shooaaaaaaaaa
Bertus was looking out the window at the beginning of the winter rain with a grim smile.
Not too long ago, Bertus called Saviolin Tana to the Winter Palace.
‘What kind of work do I have to do?’
‘It is to extract the cancer cells of the empire.’
‘Cancer cells… … ?’
‘Have you heard of the Republican Revolution?’
Permission had been obtained from the emperor.
Bertus explained to Saviolin Tana the series of events that occurred after the Orbis Class was closed.
Bertus also knew about the revolutionary forces from quite some time ago. Just as Charlotte knew that such a thing had to exist.
Some of the gang members, as well as the key personnel, were in a state of being stranded.
It’s just that it’s a bomb that’s hard to touch, so it’s just that I’ve been spending time until I figured out the whole thing.
However, it was only after Merchant Guild Master Owen de Getmora came to find out.
Through Reinhardt’s magic research society business and Rotary club business, a direct contact was made between Bertus’ forces and the Merchant Guild.
Until now, it had been an indirect contact, but since then, the Merchant Guild has formed a close link with the forces of Bertus without knowing it.
He asked for a private meeting with Bertus and confessed about the revolution.
He said there was very important information on which the fate of the empire depended.
But it was something I couldn’t touch easily. Most of the revolutionary forces whose overall outline was revealed were those who could exert considerable influence on the empire, and if the imperial family directly used their hands to deal with them, it could be the starting point for a huge uprising of the remaining forces.
That’s why I was struggling to figure out the trend through Owen de Getmora, who volunteered to be a spy, until I found the right way.
and.
Demons appeared.
‘We’re going to bring the leaders together. And after dealing with everything, I plan to disguise it as an attack by demons.’
The demons act as a camouflage that is strong enough to conceal the truth of all events. Some people might be able to infer the truth, but the message of the remnants of the demons had an overly loud resonance across all continents.
With just one word saying that it was the work of the demons, all the minor noises could be passed over.
After slaughtering all the leaders, they disguised themselves as the demons.
The remnants of the republican revolution might think it is an imperial conspiracy, but the public will be misled by the word demon tribe and will not be able to see the truth.
actually.
The remnants of the demons tried to contact the revolutionary forces and actually succeeded in contacting them.
That’s why the fact that the leaders were massacred by the demons’ attack would be persuasive to the remnants. It is not unconvincing to say that something went wrong at the negotiating table, and that’s why the enraged demons killed the leaders and then disappeared.
Inside the remnants of the party, there will be a debate over whether or not this is really the work of the demons, but there is nothing wrong with their division itself.
And Owen de Getmora takes care of the remaining revolutionary forces and assumes the temporary headship. And he will announce the false truth about the deaths of the leaders.
The entire revolutionary force comes into the hands of the imperial family.
Saviolin Tana nodded with a firm expression when she heard Bertus’ plan.
She is dedicated to serving the Empire.
Therefore, it was agreed that the forces to overthrow the empire should be disposed of.
‘However, what do you mean by disguising the actions of the demons?’
‘There are Demon Prisoners being used for research purposes. We’ll just have to release them on the spot and kill them.’
‘… … okay.’
‘So it’s a secret that Shanafel was put into the field. There will be support in charge of on-site operations. Chanapell should focus on clearing out the escort troops. Is that possible?’
‘… … it’s possible.’
The emperor’s ashes were obtained in advance.
At the meeting place Owen arranged, a barrier that blocks space movement magic was also placed in advance.
Chanapell kills all the leaders of the revolutionary forces, manipulates the scars on the bodies, and scatters the corpses of the demons to disguise the fact that there was a battle with the demons there.
The conditions and meeting place were chosen to be the best place so that such camouflage was easy.
They were like thorns in their mouths, but there was no way to pull them out.
Demon remnant forces.
An excuse that appeared at the right time will protect the empire from all controversies.
It doesn’t matter if the truth comes out.
It is true that the revolutionary forces dared to betray humanity and join hands with the demons.
-Shooaaaaa
Bertus looks out the window at the winter rain.
“Tsk.”
at last.
The fact that he killed his classmate’s parents was unnerving.
