A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 65 : Not Understanding the Signs
Chapter 65 - Not Understanding the Signs
The amusement park's facilities are limited, and so is the time in a day. When everyone was having the most fun, it was already evening.
“Feel like playing some more.”
Anna, who was initially reluctant and only wanted to come after everything was over, was now feeling a bit reluctant to leave.
This was understood, as Anna didn't mind coming here in the first place; she was just concerned about the timing.
For Anna, if all the worries in the kingdom disappeared and she could come to the amusement park without any concerns, she would probably enjoy it even more.
In fact, even while playing in the amusement park, Anna would occasionally activate the additional modules in the simulator to check if there were any suspicious characters around, such as Jean...
...Forgive Anna. Even though she knew that the assassination could be prevented by enhanced vigilance in the final simulation, at this stage, there was no enhanced vigilance around her. Anna was afraid that this guy might take her out in one go in reality.
For this reason, Anna specifically ran a simulation after getting off the Ferris wheel... the result was no different from the previous duke's ending; the other party probably didn't come.
...Actually, Anna's worries were quite unnecessary. It wasn't time to break the facade yet, and Princess Margaret naturally wouldn't discover that her “allies,” who were planning to stab her in the back, were actually planning to stab her first.
According to the news from the palace, Margaret thought that the Bartham family's banquet invitation to so many royalists was a gesture of goodwill towards the royalists, and also to show that they would definitely stand on the side of the royalists…
In fact, the Bartham family's banquet had alarmed many nobles because the Bartham family had previously shown little interest in politics. Even Duke Darlak's rise to such a high position was due to his military talent, his unparalleled command ability in the kingdom, and his sufficient political acumen to handle some matters within the military system.
...Looking at it this way, her father-in-law was probably the one with the cheat codes, right? Good at commanding, strong in combat, cultured, and sensitive to politics...
Such a person in a novel would either be the protagonist or a crucial supporting character, and if they were a villain, they would be the most troublesome one.
Anyway, Theodore definitely couldn't compare to her father-in-law.
It's not that Anna is bragged about her own people, but the pure-blood faction's mindset is quite narrow-minded, always thinking about “Make Carrick Great Again,” about the great conquest of Carrick, about the world bowing down, about reviving the glory of Carrick, with everyone as slaves.
But now, where in this land is there a regime that clings to slavery and isolationism? Even the most conservative church no longer gathers followers of the Creator Goddess to launch holy wars against the south or the far east occupied by demons.
The beastmen, always treated as barbarians, that is, the Sumi people, have now embraced magic stone technology and started normal trade with countries on the continent. Who still plays the pure-blood faction's game?
Can Carrick compare to the Sumi people who deal with dragons daily and have cute beast ears?
So when will Theodore die?
Anna is just waiting for Margaret to make her move. Although Theodore will eventually step down, the timing of his stepping down in each simulation is not very stable. Sometimes it's before the banquet, sometimes after the banquet, sometimes after the Mia faction is ready... Anyway, Theodore will eventually step down.
At least the fact that Theodore will eventually step down gives Anna a sense of security, so she doesn't have to worry about Theodore and can focus on arranging things for Margaret.
Thinking carefully, Margaret is working hard to help Anna bring Theodore down, and then Anna turns around and brings Margaret down. Isn't that a bit too scummy? ...What scummy? They're planning to stab me in the back afterward, so of course, I should stab them first.
Politics is not that naive.
Brainstorming in her mind, and also complaining that this simulation didn't give any rewards, feeling a bit shortchanged.
Anna suddenly stopped.
“...What's wrong?”
Anna's sudden stop naturally aroused the curiosity of her three girlfriends.
“I seem... to have felt something.”
Not the previous excuse to fool her girlfriends, but genuine... feeling.
Intuition was frantically sounding alarms.
Her gaze involuntarily turned to the east, and Anna's mind was filled with alarm bells... as if something had appeared...
The east? There are so many countries in the east, how would I know which one? It couldn't be the resurrection of the Demon King, could it? That would be too far-fetched.
This terrifying sense of crisis passed in an instant, but the fleeting strong sense of crisis still makes Anna feel uneasy... as if someone was blowing a suona, beating a gong, and clashing cymbals in her brain, making her feel a bit crazy...
As for why Anna knew about these instruments that didn't exist in the Kingdom of Rianved... the kingdom doesn't have them, but the Holy Phoenix Empire in the east does.
Seeing Anna suddenly pale and looking dizzy and unsteady, Louise quickly supported her.
“Senpai? Senpai?”
“No... I'm fine...”
“What exactly happened?” Helga also worriedly came forward, trying to use some magic to check Anna's condition.
“Really... I'm fine.”
Taking a few deep breaths, her complexion improved, and Anna woke up from the terrible mental influence.
“I just felt that something seems to have happened in the east.”
“The east?” Everyone was stunned, feeling a bit speechless.
“Anna, the kingdom is at the westernmost part of the Gaia continent...” Helga was speechless, “If something happens in the east, who knows if it's the Iveg Empire, the church, the Bazhan Kingdom, the Losavi Republic, or the Holy Phoenix Empire...?”
“Forgot the Far East,” Louise added.
“If something happens in the Far East, it's the resurrection of the Demon King, right?” Atala said.
“The resurrection of the Demon King... I'd rather believe that another lich has appeared in the Losavi Republic.”
For some reason, most of the famous evil liches in the world came from the Losavi Republic, giving it the nickname “the Land of Liches.”
“Indeed, that's quite possible,” Louise nodded, agreeing with Helga's statement.
To be honest, even Anna didn't quite believe the theory of the Demon King's resurrection.
After all, the Demon King has been dead for thousands of years, and there are some special methods to detect the appearance of a new Demon King... It is said that when the Demon King descends, the world will also undergo strange phenomena...
But, let's not think too much, because what you don't want to happen is exactly what will happen...
Like tonight's game time.
