Reincarnated as an Emperor ~ Will the Emperor at Birth Survive?

A different world where magic exists, and guns and cannons have been invented. The Bungdalto Empire was located in a land called the ‘Eastern Continent’. This great nation, which competes to be the best with another nation, is in the midst of decline and collapse due to a variety of problems. Economic bankruptcy, losing land because of being defeated in war, and independence of one of its frontier areas, and the tyranny of the aristocrats.

I was born as ‘Carmine’, the emperor of such a sinking Empire. The young Emperor was a convenient puppet for Lord Raul, who is believed to have assassinated my father (the former Crown Prince, and Lord Aquicurl who is believed to have assassinated my grandfather (the previous Emperor), since they were both engaged in a fierce political struggle.

If I hadn’t acted like a puppet then I would not have survived until today, and I will continue to act like their puppet.

… Until the day I act.

――― It is the year 465 on the solar calendar. A ceremony was held to celebrate the Emperor’s 10^th birthday as the snow thawed and at the same time, the Emperor’s tour of the nation was announced.

The carriage that I was riding in was equipped with magic tools… The ‘Smallest Fortress’ was surrounded by an excessive number of guards, and we left through the ‘An-Doch’ gate which is the northern gate in the capital. This was the first time in my life that I have been outside of the capital.

I thought I had left the capital five years ago… but I found out that I hadn’t and decided to find out more about the capital ‘Cardinal’. I also considered that not understanding the area that I’m in control of was also a problem.

Though, I only asked Count Palatine Vedett and Timona about the capital. I couldn’t openly find out more about the capital or the aristocrats would get suspicious.
