Chapter 222.2
Whenever Carla killed someone, she always made the other person do the killing and then took the position of the victim. Even if he had fought back too hard, Carla’s position would not have made it a crime, and the fear of Carla that had built up inside and made him even more afraid to do anything.
I did the same thing by opposing the underworld, but Carla did it in the noble society. It was only because of Carla’s character and power…
But what didn’t I understand was why he left the finishing blow to the Crown Prince and the Saint? When I said that, Elena nodded quietly.
“We were discussing that matter. Mikhail, please explain it to Aria.”
“I understand, Your Highness. But before that, Lady Aria… I’m glad you returned safely. It’s embarrassing, but there’s a big difference in our fighting power with you and without you.”
Mikhail said, smiling at me, and Rockwell, next to him nodded with a grumpy look on his face.
“Yes. I am painfully aware of my own inexperience, but at present, only you and Count Lester are capable of defeating the Greater Demon on your own. However, now that she has handed over the credit to those two, things have become a bit tricky.”
The plan to remove Ervan from the position of Crown Prince has been carried out mainly by Elena and the Melrose faction, with the approval of His Majesty the King. Many noble families support Elena, who is of pure blood from a high-ranking noble family, rather than Ervan, the son of a former Viscount’s daughter, and thanks to Elena’s efforts, some of the less radical noble faction and neutral faction have already sided with Elena.
However, this incident has raised the Crown Prince’s fame, and once again opportunistic noble families have begun to defend the Crown Prince. Not only that, but the name of the [Saint] who defeated the demon has also risen, and there are movements to make her the official wife, mainly from the King’s younger brother faction and the noble faction.
I don’t know much about the Saint, but Mikhail says she’s related to the Melrose family, and the opinions of the Melrose family, including the Prime Minister, are not unified.
