Lupis’s explanation took some thirty minutes, with Meltina appending a few facts here and there.

“I can see why you’re pessimistic. The situation’s pretty bad.” Those were Ryoma’s words upon hearing Lupis’s explanation in its entirety. “Even if the knights’ faction wins this conflict, there’s nothing but the worst possible future ahead of you.”

So long as General Albrecht held all the real power, Lupis would be rendered superfluous as soon as the conflict with the nobles’ faction concluded. Having her freedom taken from her and being forced into confinement was, ironically enough, one of the less terrible ways things could end for her. If Albrecht was the kind of person to not mind having the stigma of treason appended to him, he could just claim the throne after the nobles’ faction was done with. No, he wouldn’t even have to usurp the throne, since he could just keep Lupis under his control as a puppet ruler.

In other words, there were two necessary conditions for Princess Lupis to survive this struggle. Firstly, they had to win victory over the nobles’ faction. The other condition was to increase the influence of her own side, the princess’s faction, mustering their strength to the point where they’d be able to stand up to Albrecht’s tyranny.

Achieving either one of those would be a challenge, but if they didn’t achieve both, Lupis’s fate would be sealed. And Lupis and Meltina were well aware of that.

And here I thought this was going a little too smoothly. To think only a third of the knights’ faction have sworn loyalty to the princess...

The princess’s faction were like cornered rats, hence why they were interested in hearing what Ryoma, who flew in out of nowhere, had to say. They were grasping at straws, all in order to survive.

“I wish to make the princess this country’s true ruler! Can you make that happen?”

“Meltina... Thank you...” Lupis thanked Meltina for her ardent, faithful words.

This stood as proof that they shared a relationship of trust that went beyond simply a master and her servant.

“All right... So, let me go over the conditions again. First, we need to make sure the princess becomes the ruler of Rhoadseria. And we also need to make sure she’d no longer be a puppet in the hands of the knights’ faction. Did I get everything right?”

The two nodded vigorously.

“In that case, I think I can work it out. Whether you actually hold the throne for long after you gain it depends on your capabilities, but if it’s just helping you regain your true power, I can manage that.”

He did, in fact, have confidence that he could make Lupis win.

“Is that true?”

“Yes.”

The pair’s eyes filled with happiness and doubt at Ryoma’s proclamation.

“How do you intend to do it?” Meltina leaned her body forward, as if bracing herself.

“By bringing the neutral faction over to our side.” Ryoma replied.

However, as soon as they heard his answer, both their expressions filled with disappointment.

“Hmph... I was a fool to believe a man like you,” Meltina whispered, as if he’d just tried to pull the wool over her eyes.
