Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 440

What the Grandek family published in their information publication was intentional misinformation. It is close to what we would call 'fake news' in the previous life.

It was true that the talks had "broken down," but there were no specific articles on the events leading up to that point, only a summary of convenient claims.

From the above, it seems that they had planned to break up the talks from the very beginning.

If a breakdown had been decided, it would have been possible, even in this world without communication devices, to have a convenient article written in advance and publish it the day after the meeting.

This incident with the information publication led to misinformation and speculation both inside and outside of the empire.

What is troubling is that "the fact that the talks broke down" is prominently mentioned in the article.

The fact that the intelligence report was published the day after the meeting.

In addition, if one reads the article carefully, one can easily understand that the information provided is not credible, as the article makes no mention of the Bardia family's claims or the content of the talks.

However, the fact that the article incorporates the fact of the breakdown of the talks may have made one wonder, "Perhaps there is some credibility to the content of the article? The fact that the article was published in the public domain of the magazine, of course, made me doubt the credibility of the information.

Of course, after the publication to the public, the Bardia family admitted that the meeting had broken down and explained the circumstances, but it was too late to change the outcome.

However, it was too late. Public opinion in the Reich suddenly turned to "Wasn't there a problem with the Bardia family's handling of the situation? The Imperial opinion was quickly turned in the direction of "Wasn't there a problem with the Bardia family's attitude?

Father was summoned to the capital to put out the fire.

However, the situation did not end there.

At the same time that my father went to the capital, the Bardia family was in control of the narrow fortress at the border point between the two countries.

Right in front of the fort, the Grandeks deployed their army in what they called a military drill.

When I received the news, I called Sylvia, the second sister of the three Rat People sisters who had accompanied me to the imperial capital.

I contacted her through communication magic, and discussed how to respond with my father.

As a result, I ordered some of the elite of the First Order to be dispatched to the narrow fortress and stand by, led by the deputy leader, Cross.

At that time, Saria, a bird tribe member capable of using communication magic, and the 4th Flying Squadron led by her, were to accompany them.

At first, I was going to leave, but my father stopped me, saying, "That could be the aim."

Cross's communication with Saria, who had arrived there, reported that the Grandek family had stopped at provocative actions.

He is relieved and relieved by the fact that no military conflict is taking place.

But with boiling anger, I sent a letter of protest to the Grandeks and to the beast nation of Zubera.

Later that day.

The answer I received from the Grandeks was, "We have no business meddling in the affairs of other countries.

This was within the expected range, but what surprised me was the reply from the Beast King Sekhmetos.

"The relationship between the Grandeks and the Bardia is none of the Beast Kingdom of Zubera's business. We can only hope that both families remain close for the sake of both nations."

The Beast King probably pretended to be ignorant of this incident and decided to take a high view of it.

The beastmen are all inedible people, I thought to myself.

When I reported this to my father in the capital via Silvia using communication magic, her voice came back, "Ah, now, Rainer-sama let out a deep sigh. That's all.

According to my father, the Imperial Capital is the Imperial Capital, and things are getting quite messy.

In fact, recently, rather than ・・・・・・, the Bardia family's presence in the empire has been growing since I regained my memory of my previous life up to the current point

The main causes are endless, starting from the lotion and rinse presented to the Empress, to the charcoal truck, to the pocket watch, and the list is endless.

Well, this is evidence that the move toward avoiding future absolution is steadily succeeding.

However, it is said that the Imperial nobles, who were dissatisfied with this, are now taking this opportunity to spearhead the "breakdown of the talks" against Father.

Normally, the emperor, conservatives, or innovators would intercede.

But this time was different.

In addition to the "push of public opinion" brought about by the information bulletin published the day after the meeting, there were Imperial nobles in all factions who did not think well of the rise of the House of Bardia.

The Bardia family became more and more unpopular, and was virtually isolated.

It was at this time that the Marquis Berluti brought the dissatisfied Imperial nobles together.

Well, now that things have come to this. If something should happen, the Bardia and Grandek families will settle the matter between them, and the Empire will not be involved in this matter. Wouldn't that be a good solution? That is what Rainer-sama said in the past. Of course, I never imagined that anything would happen.

The emperor and the nobles who are close to the House of Bardia were reluctant to accept this proposal.

However, the nobles who agreed with the Marquis Berruti and public opinion forced the emperor and his father to agree to the proposal.

The above is the situation in the imperial capital. There is a lot of other confusion. We will be here for a while yet. That's all.

Sylvia's voice, imitating how Father said it, can be heard from the receiver of the communication magic.

It's a little amusing.

Just as I chuckle, her voice echoes from the receiver again, "Oh, there's more to come,"

"The fact of the breakdown was published in an information publication and made public the next day. Then, to isolate our family by inducing public opinion in the Empire. I can't believe that this move was made by the Grandek family alone. It is a cunning move that reminds me of a cunning imperial aristocrat. I will look into that area as well as putting out the fire. As for you, I've asked you to take care of the Bardia territory. That is all. That is all."

Thank you,. Be careful, father. That is all."

Since that day, my father and I have been communicating with each other regularly by communication magic.

By the way, the state of communication is not so good due to the distance between the Bardia territory and the imperial capital.

If we increase the amount of magic power used for communication magic, it will improve a lot, though.

However, if Silvia were to do that, she would be exhausted and it would interfere with urgent communication.

When she comes back, I should probably strengthen the training of the children who can use communication magic, not their physical strength, but their magical power.

"Master Rid. I am sorry to interrupt your thoughts. I thought it was time for you to leave."

"What? Oh, it's that time already, isn't it?"

Capella's voice brought me back to myself, and I stood up from my seat, raised my arms above my head, and stretched out, "Woo・・・・・・.

'Do you think Fara can go too?"

'Yes. This paperwork will be all we need for today."

Nodding, a brush slid across the paperwork in hand.

As I watched this, I was suddenly reminded of my father's words.

"・・・・・The lion's den of the empire," he said. If they are the masterminds behind this, I will definitely double ・・・・・・ this "debt" and pay them back in tenfold."

I muttered to myself and stared out of the window in the direction of the imperial capital.
