Chapter 396.2: Captive Lightning Emperor
Alisha-ojou is the only heir to the throne who is not worthy of caution. I heard that it is a spare that the high-ranking nobles had asked the king to create in case anything were to happen to Code’s Royal Family, and that it is being held captive in a corner of Code.
If the king changes, the current Royalty will no longer be Class 8. This is because Class 8 is a class set for the children of the king. If that happens, Alisha will no longer be needed. The existence of the spare is also due to the involvement of high-ranking nobles from my camp. Although it is unclear why Alisha’s Royal Guards, whose authority has been frozen by the King of Code, are now gathering information on the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》――.
“Rather than having Nora take it, wouldn’t it be better to give it to the spare, no?” (Angus)
“Will their release application go through?” (Jin)
“It will be alright if we loosen up the rules. The spare’s role is already coming to an end, so what does it matter if an accident were to occur now, right?” (Angus)
“…… As you say, “Denka (Your Highness)”.” (Jin)
Says Jin while chuckling.
The Royalty’s authority can loosen the prison’s release criteria a little. But Nora did not do it because it was too dangerous.
The prison release criteria are set by the city system for safety reasons. There is no point in deliberately relaxing the criteria. Nora’s eyes are not clouded enough to forget that.
