Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 512

With the backing of the Bardia family, Amon became the new tribal leader of the Foxmen tribe after defeating Gareth, Elba and the others with us.

There are many who support him, but his influence is still weak.

According to my father, the powerful tribes that supported Gareth and Elba are vigilantly trying to take back power.

Among the various speculations, the most prominent one seems to be who will be chosen as "Amon's wife.

The powerful families are all sending their daughters to meet Amon.

If the current situation is left unchecked, there is a high possibility of unnecessary strife in the near future.

Looking to the future, if Amon's wife is related to a powerful family with radical views, a new Gareth or Elba could be spawned.

'"......Subordination to this family would effectively mean that the Fox people would be subordinate to the empire. It would make sense and be in the best interest of the country to have Amon's full wife come from the Bardia family, which belongs to the empire. Therefore, we would like to take an 'adopted daughter' in our family."

The conditions for a nobleman to adopt a girl or a son in the empire are strict and require the emperor's permission.

Otherwise, nobles will try to strengthen their relationship with each other by marrying each other without permission, and the situation will get out of hand.

In the worst case scenario, the emperor was concerned that the situation might escalate into a civil war.

When Father finished explaining the situation, His Majesty Irwin made a difficult face.

"I understand the details. However, being the wife of the chief of a tribe in another country, she must be of considerable caliber and training. Above all, she must be loyal to the empire and the House of Bardia. Do you have a candidate in mind?

"Don't worry, we already have several candidates in mind. And we are not going to marry them off to the Foxmen's territory right away. We will announce Amon's engagement and her name as soon as possible, but his wife-to-be is still in training and will be educated for the time being."

"What will be the reaction of the Beast King of Zuvera and the various tribal chiefs? Wouldn't there be any unnecessary strife if the empire were to select the rightful wife?"

The look in the eyes of Her Majesty Matilda as she asked this question was serious and different from her usual playfulness.

"The chiefs of each tribe, including the Beast King Sekhmetos, attended Gareth's funeral and met with me. This must mean that they recognize the relationship between the Grandek and Bardia families. If I may add, the Beast Kingdom of Zubera has a powerful 'weak man, strong man' philosophy. There is a tendency in Zubera that it is natural for the foxes to follow the family that wins the war, so there is no problem with that either."

When Father answered firmly, His Majesty Irwin nodded his head and said, "Very well."

If you have thought that far, I will leave the rest to you. Since it is a 'secret agreement,' it is difficult for the treasury to provide outward support, but I promise to provide as much support as I can under the name of 'reconstruction assistance money' to the Bardia family."

""Yes, I will be counting on you."

After shaking hands with father, His Majesty smiled wryly and turned his meaningful gaze toward me.

"Well, my unconventional boy, you are going to have a very important role to play. I am sorry to give you such a difficult task, but I expect you to do well in Zubera.

Yes, . I will do my best to meet your expectations. But please don't call me an unconventional person. It's embarrassing."

From the flow of the conversation, I guess it was decided from the beginning that I would be going to Zubera.

As I was scratching my cheeks and smiling bitterly, Father leaned forward with a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"Wait, Irwin. Can't you really move the date of His Highness Kiel's visit to Bardia?"

"I'm sorry, but it's impossible. There is a history of the announcement in the audience chamber, but as I told you at the beginning, there is also the movement of the revolutionary faction. Especially since the invasion of the Foxmen, the revolutionary faction has gained momentum, and the confrontation with the conservative faction has been very intense. Therefore, it was necessary to get Kiel away from the capital as soon as possible, as the revolutionary faction wanted to use him as a banner."

"I'm sorry, Rainer. Irwin wanted to tell you from the beginning, but I advised him to proceed in secret. If you knew what was going on, you would have objected. Above all, I did not want to burden Bardia and Nanalee, who were in the midst of a chaotic situation."

When Her Majesty Matilda apologized, the father let out a deep sigh and shook his head.

"I hope all those words are 'true'."

"Don't say what you mean, Rainer. Nothing we say can be false."

"Yes. Especially to you, who have been a close friend of mine since I was young, I always treat you as I would like to be treated."

The father sighs deeply again at the sight of His Majesty and the others smiling so broadly at each other.

' You know, something like '.......'

"I see. That must have been tough.”

After I finished telling the story of the Battle of Fortress Narrows and the events leading up to the present, David began to chime in.

Right now, I am sitting on the sofa with David, Kiel, Addy and others who were waiting in the other room and enjoying a chat.

Father and His Majesty, who are not here, are probably having a meeting about the future in the room where I was just a few minutes ago.

I left the room early, out of consideration for my father and the others, so I joined them and am now in the room with them.

Upon arriving at the room, David and the others leaned forward and asked me to tell them about the circumstances that led up to the “Battle of Fort Narrows” and how the battle actually took place.

In the history of the empire, there have been no major battles that have roared throughout the empire in the last few years.

There have been a few skirmishes at border points, but no armed clashes due to obvious invasions, such as the “Battle of Fort Narrows.

It is only natural that they would be concerned about such a battle that would be reported in the newspaper.

I answered their questions to the best of my ability, saying in advance, “There are some things I can't say."

David and the others were sometimes surprised, sometimes angry, sometimes amazed, and sometimes interested in what I had to say.

I got the impression that they were listening to him from the perspective of a “statesman” rather than a child interested in warfare.

Perhaps it was fitting that he was a member of the royal family.

"But still...”

Kiel began to turn the conversation around.

"I never thought that I would be engaged to Rid's sister."

"Me too.”

As I chuckled along with Kiel, Adi stared at me.

'...... hmmm. Kiel and Mel are getting engaged, so Ri Ri will eventually become my 'big brother. I'm looking forward to working with you, 'big brother'.

Ummm, yes. I'm pleased to become your 'big brother' as well.

I smiled, squinting my eyes and feeling a little embarrassed when she called me “big brother,” and she pulled her face up to my nose with empty eyes.

Hey, big brother,” Do you think I will eventually marry in another country?

“Uh-huh."

I flinched at the strange atmosphere similar to that of His Majesty Matilda, but she continued without changing her expression.

"Perhaps a war will break out in another country where I have married and I will be in trouble. At that time, my brother will help me, won't he?”

"Of course. I'll do my best if that happens. But what's going on all of a sudden?"

As I was swimming my eyes in confusion, David and Kiel erupted and began to laugh.
