The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 537

Chapter 537

Heinrich refused to join, but he had no intention of letting him die.

So, Sarkegar kept reporting the situation of the Kernstadt garrison, and I was also watching the situation.

Judging that Satan might arise, I followed them with Harriet.

I wondered if Louise von Schwarz was laying her hands on Heinrich, but why.

Louise, in a very stupid way, killed her brothers.

And even though it is true that he is an illegitimate child, he was able to hear the shocking truth that he was not the king’s illegitimate son, but Louise’s illegitimate son.

said Charlotte.

Hearing that the assassination of Heinrich would happen, Louise von Schwarz could not do such a foolish thing.

The brothers conspire to assassinate Heinrich.

It was not the conspiracy of all the brothers, but the conspiracy of the second and third, or the arbitrariness of the second or the third.

Louise von Schwartz was originally a person who had nothing to do with the events of the original story.

He lost his son because he failed to calculate the foolishness of his brothers.

And whether or not he knew the truth, he was executed with the Emperor’s wrath.

Among the events mentioned in the original work, the moments that passed by too quickly have their own reasons or an inside story that I do not know.

It was just that way this time.

Charlotte’s suspicion that Heinrich might be an illegitimate child.

And it is true that he is an illegitimate child, but the truth is that he was the illegitimate child of the princess, not the king and queen.

There was something that didn’t happen in the original work, but an incident occurred in which Louise von Schwarz killed her brothers with her own hands rather than standing by.

I don’t know what event, what kind of emotion, what kind of trigger was triggered.

However, Heinrich survived.

Of course, Louise von Schwarz, whom she thought would be one of the main culprits, was actually the one who had to protect Heinrich.

Seeing him kill his brothers and go crazy, he seemed shocked that he had done such a thing himself.

In the original story, Louise couldn’t choose her brothers or Heinrich.

Heinrich died as a result of neglecting in clumsy faith, and he died as well.

But now Louise made a choice.

I don’t know what excuse she, the commander of the Kernstadt Army, will make for the deaths of her brothers.

The dead two have a role to play, and there will definitely be problems, but the situation is better than Louise or Heinrich dying.

You said you should stay still

It was really just a matter of being still.

The changed world showed a changed development, but I don’t know specifically where and how this change came about.

Harriet and I left the abandoned warehouse area and hid in the nearby woods.

“I don’t know what happened… … . Are you okay?”

“Okay, I guess we don’t have to worry about it any more.”

At my words, Harriet nodded.

Louise knew who was actually trying to kill Heinrich, and Louise helped.

There will be noise and problems, but Heinrich’s life will no longer be in danger.

If Louise von Schwarz had been a real beast, things would have been more complicated, but fortunately that wasn’t the case.

However, I came to know more complicated family affairs.

The definite advice of the scribe was that the changed world would show the changed ending, so it was a story to see or do.

I couldn’t help but know what the obscure scribe’s advice was.

“okay… … . The fact that Heinrich was still alive… … . Actually, it didn’t make sense… … .”

“that is… … . What are you talking about?”

“If Heinrich was really the king’s illegitimate son, he didn’t have to be accepted into the royal family.”

The queen is not a great person to admit an illegitimate child.

Charlotte surmised that King Cernstadt’s stubbornness might have forced her to do so.

Even there, members of the royal family were killed by Heinrich.

However, it only ended with being exiled to the temple.

It was strange that Heinrich was alive in the first place.

“Louise von Schwartz is trying to save Heinrich somehow… … . I did.”

“… … I guess.”

We don’t know how or how Louise von Schwarz gave birth to Heinrich and how the secret has been kept.

But even the other members of the royal family had no idea that he was Louise’s illegitimate son.

The only ones who knew were obviously the king and queen and Louise herself.

In the case of the accident in the past, Louise would have begged for it.

please don’t kill me

Kill me, but please don’t. Let us live outside of our gaze.

Maybe that kind of deal didn’t come and go.

The reason why the illegitimate child, who was better off dead, was able to survive until now was because he was the illegitimate child of Louise von Schwarz, who had the most outstanding qualities in the history of the Schwarz family.

Just like how Louise tried to save Heinrich by using her position and position.

Heinrich’s existence itself could have been a gag bitten by Louise in some way.

He may have held Heinrich’s life hostage in order to control Louise’s actions.

Heinrich would have been used by the current King of Kernstadt to hold and shake the first princess.

so he survived

Because if Heinrich dies, you don’t know what the heir to the kingdom will do.

Why did Heinrich survive?

If she was just the king’s illegitimate child, she would have died long ago, but that was a natural situation, so why was she still alive?

It was because it was useful and necessary to Heinrich.

Heinrich was precious to Louise.

Heinrich was useful to the royal family.

If I had noticed the truth, I would have known that Louise von Schwarz could not have been the culprit, and I would have found it easier to solve this problem or just sit on the sidelines.

The scribe’s advice was that way.

And the scribe’s advice has the potential to bring both good and bad things.

The good thing is that Heinrich’s assassination passed without major blood loss.

If it’s a bad thing, of course, other things that result from this thing.

The possibility that those things might lead to another bad thing.

“what… … . How will it be?”

“I know.”

It is a battlefield where bad things always happen.

So it was pointless to predict it.

* * *

Heinrich had always thought that whatever he said, the brothers twisted and listened to him.

But it was a story that also applied to himself.

‘Here you are, the youngest. Sit down.’

‘Is there a reason why the brothers are gathering? It’s hard to see your face since you’re not from our army, so I invited you to have a meal.’

‘If this situation is over, do you intend to return to Kernstadt?’

‘It’s such a pity.’

‘You must be tired. Go in first and rest.’

Come to think of it, she was just talkative.

It was no different from the other siblings or himself that he gave too much meaning to the words and was upset alone.

I just didn’t know.

I don’t know how to deal with someone who has no choice but to face with complicated emotions that I’ve been facing for a long time.

Other than that, I just couldn’t think of anything else to say.

Because the words that a naturally blunt person can bring out from a more complex mind must be limited.

I was just misunderstanding the least little words that could be said in such a complicated mind.

He was no different from his other siblings.

And in the end, Louise couldn’t see the other two brothers who were trying to make an extreme choice, so she made another extreme choice to kill her brother with her own hands.

“… … .”

“… … .”

way back to the garrison.

The conversation was slow, and there was no conversation between Heinrich and Louise.

Louise’s complexion was pale because she had killed her brothers with her own hands, and Heinrich’s face was no different because he had seen the scene in front of his eyes and heard the shocking truth.

There is no conversation.

Conversation is not a situation that can come and go, and nothing has been sorted out yet.

A person who has a lot to say.

A person who wants to ask a lot.

Everyone can’t say anything.

“sorry. everything. entire.”

Two horses walk quietly.

“Everyone… … . It’s my fault.”

In the end, Louise could barely pull out such an apple.

* * *

The two princes of Kernstadt are dead. He was not publicly executed, but was murdered by Louise von Schwarz.

It was neither legal nor procedural.

What Louise von Schwarz shared within the military was simple.

missing.

The two princes also have their own forces.

But nothing compares to Louise von Schwarz.

It may have been a desertion, but it could have been disguised as a disappearance for the honor of the Schwarz family, and the commanders knew that there was an inside story that many people did not know.

But Louise didn’t explain anything.

As Emperor Bertus said, it is a war for a cause.

The disappearance or desertion of the two princes.

or death.

That’s a very big deal, but Commander-in-Chief Louise von Schwarz is alive and well.

To the extent of reorganizing the chain of command, the gap between the two princes was somehow filled.

In the end, the two irreplaceable beings survived, and the two replaceable beings tried to kill the youngest, fearing that their position would become unstable.

Therefore, the vacuum of the two relatively weak princes could be filled.

Emperor Bertus knew what had happened, but made no comment.

Since the emperor is silent, the General Headquarters, which is aware of the suspicious circumstances, is also silent.

The interior of the Kernstadt Army was in a mess due to the sudden disappearance of the two princes, but not to the point where divisions began.

Even if he lost two legs, his head was alive, so there was no fighting over who would be next.

Allied forces leave Senkerian and begin marching to their next operational site.

The situation has been settled, but the relationship that has changed cannot be reversed.

A secret cannot be undone from the moment it is told.

The assassination threat was gone and Heinrich knew that he was the son of his eldest sister.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The relationship between the two has not deteriorated.

He murdered his brother with his own hands to protect his children and even had to lie.

Louise von Schwarz killed her brother to protect her child.

We just don’t know what to say to each other.

Because I don’t know how to rebuild a relationship that was wrong from the beginning or what kind of bricks to build.

A person who was born but never lived as a parent.

A person who was born but has never experienced parents.

Everyone doesn’t know what to say to build this broken relationship from scratch.

Louise and Heinrich didn’t have a conversation after that.

No personal conversations other than business conversations.

Until not too long ago, they said their usual greetings, but now there isn’t even that.

I knew that we could never be strangers, but somehow Heinrich seemed to have become a relationship that made each other worse than others.

Heinrich was beside Louise who led the army without talking.

Louise’s whole body tensed at the sudden voice that pierced her brain.

‘I have something to report to the commander.’

“… … what is it?”

telepathy.

Just as Heinrich received communications from the General Headquarters through Ivia’s telepathy, commanders of each unit received the General Headquarters’ intentions telepathically.

It is not that messengers and communication magic are not used, but telepathy is instantaneous and fast in that it does not require magic tools.

Of course, many dignitaries were quite offended by this unannounced telepathic feeling. That’s why there were a lot of people who let their adjutant listen to telepathy instead of themselves.

Louise von Schwarz is quite offended by that telepathy.

You feel like your territory is being invaded.

I had the uncanny feeling of showing someone something no one else could see.

But Louise is not the kind of person who dares to pass it on to others.

‘Since we have already destroyed Ragirian’s small warp gate, which was the next target, the allied forces will continue to advance to the point Theta, not the next planned location.’

“hmm… … . I get it. Good job.”

‘Your commander.’

Heinrich heard Louise’s self-talk and recognized that she was receiving telepathy.

Louise looks at Heinrich.

“The next operation area has already been cleared. That is why we keep marching.”

“okay… … .”

Private conversations do not come and go, but it was a position that such a dry conversation had to be held.

Heinrich silently watches as Louise informs his adjutants of the entire army transmission. I watch the messengers ride to and from the marching troops to inform the commanders of the new operational changes.

Louise sees an endless procession of marches.

It would be nice not to have to fight to the death in the next operational area.

However, isn’t the lengthy march just another penance for the soldiers who have to walk that distance in the end?

Louise thought about what was better and became funny.

Emperor Bertus.

It was Bertus who directly said that Heinrich would be killed if he didn’t kill his brothers.

What if the two knew that the youngest, Heinrich, was their illegitimate son?

‘I’d rather kill more.’

Louise never married.

If Louise von Schwarz dies in this war, the eldest son, German von Schwarz, will be the next heir to the throne, rather than the officially childless Louise.

Deep down, he may have wished for Louise to die in battle.

Now that I know how foolish and blind-headed the brothers were, that suspicion is confirmed.

Should Louise von Schwarz be killed during the war, Germann would become the next Schwartz successor.

If that happened, Alphonse might have been jealous of his older brother, who had become the heir to the Schwarz family, which he had never dreamed of, and would have killed his older brother and tried to inherit the throne himself.

Had it not been for Heinrich, could it have been that German would have tried to kill him? Then, nextly, Alphonse could have killed German and rather Alphonse took the throne of the Schwartz family.

“… … .”

Louise laughed at herself for thinking that way.

Isn’t it only for self-defence that I killed my brothers because they deserved to die?

There are choices and there are consequences.

The brothers killed their children because they wanted to kill them.

Instead, the child survived.

All other judgments are meaningless.

I couldn’t bring myself to say anything about my son.

It wouldn’t be good like this.

What happened so far, why, what was said. How I resisted the urge to drop everything and run away. How many times has your life been put on the scales.

How many days have you lived a forced life at the temple, swallowing your tears, thinking only that you would be fine.

Louise couldn’t open her mouth, as she wanted to say all of that, but in the end it didn’t seem like anything more than an excuse for not being a parent.

when the war is over.

Can we talk about it when everything is over?

Will we be able to tell the whole story after walking through the curtain of dark clouds over the fate of mankind?

Because this battlefield is too heavy to talk about sorrow and pain.

So, the only story I can tell now is this war story.

“the youngest… … .”

Louise opened her mouth vaguely, but her tongue hardened.

Is it right to call you the youngest?

But I can’t call him son. In this situation where there are eyes to watch and ears to hear, isn’t it true that the eldest sister cannot call the youngest son, just as the subject of an illegitimate child could not be brought up?

But as if he understood, Heinrich looked at Louise.

“Your sister.”

“… … .”

Things I know but can’t say.

It was a look that fully understood that. Louise bit her lip slightly in a miserable mood.

But it is a story about work, a story about war.

Because of personal matters, I cannot avoid talking about what I have to say.

“Do you think you are friendly with Emperor Bertus?”

When the name of the emperor is mentioned, Heinrich is silent for a moment.

“To be honest… … . I don’t think it’s friendly. However, because of the time spent in the same class at Temple… … .”

“I see.”

If it wasn’t for the words of Emperor Bertus, he might have lost Heinrich because he couldn’t calculate the foolishness of his brothers.

And the emperor knew that Heinrich was his illegitimate son and even the name of the man he had once loved.

But that’s not what Louise was thinking about right now.

“High Command is hiding something.”

Excessive speed of advance, abnormal weather at the level of extreme weather, and preemptive suppression of the operational area.

Only bad things continue to happen to the Allies.

Ellen Artorius, Saviolin Tana, and Chanapell Imperial Wizards.

This speed could have come out if he squeezed all his abilities, but Louise couldn’t get rid of the feeling that these processes were not clear.

“Do you know what they are hiding?”

At Louise’s question, Heinrich stared at the marching path.

“… … I do not know.”

Just like Heinrich doesn’t know his mother well.

Louise doesn’t know her son well either.

But now I know one thing.

“I see… … .”

Louise discovered that her son was not good at lying.
