My Lucky Encounter From The Game Turned Into Reality - M.L.E Chapter 62: Saint Candidate (Part 2)

As he offered me iced tea directly, the second prince who had granted me a seat spoke.

“Haha, it’s for my own good. It’s a matter for the sake of my power, isn’t it?”

“In the end, my gain will also be Your Highness’s gain.”

“Well, that’s true.”

His actions seem as brazen as always.

But hidden in his words was a sharp blade, and it meant he was well aware of my circumstances, indicating that he was gathering information.

I had no intention of engaging in a petty war of nerves with him.

So, I immediately brought up the matter.

“Archbishop Fred will fully support us. And we’ve decided to form an alliance with Riverdale. If Your Highness supports us, it will create an unbeatable situation.”

While I was teaching Ivril theology and having discussions with Archbishop Fred, the second prince, who knew little about the details, showed a slightly surprised expression.

“Bringing in that lifeless old man and the sage of Lucias? Has the situation already progressed to that point?”

“That’s right.”

“Haha, you have a talent for surprising people. This is definitely not the skill of a new noble.”

“So, Your Highness must have taken notice of me as well, right?”

“Eh, one must know how to be humble.”

“As you know, I’m someone who greatly appreciates compliments.”

“So, are you playing like a king over the commoners online?”

The atmosphere wasn’t bad.

Despite the banter, he acknowledged my abilities to some extent.

“You misunderstand.”

“Is it a misunderstanding? I heard you have an enormous number of followers online, over ten million or something?”

In reality, I had surpassed ten million a while ago. Although I was currently aiming for twenty million, I casually brushed it off with a smile.

“Anyway, supporting me is essentially supporting Your Highness Luke.”

“For a young emerging noble, there should be a fresh feeling, but you give off the vibe of a seasoned politician facing you.”

I almost retorted with ‘So what?’ but maintained a poker face, hoping for his response to my support request for Ivril.

“There’s no reason to refuse. If a Saintess from our country is born, it will greatly enhance our national status. I’ll tell Father the king for you.”

“I appreciate it.”

As expected, the second prince did not reject my request. With only positive factors and no negatives, it was expected. Even if he hated me privately, he must have thought that it was unwise to let emotions cloud his judgment of the potential future king. Moreover, there was nothing to gain from making our relationship more uncomfortable.

With the prince’s permission secured, I casually saluted and rose from my seat.

“Oh, by the way, do you know about this?”

However, before I could leave, the second prince unexpectedly caught my attention with a piece of news.

“The daughter of Margrave Otis and Earl Acres has gone missing. It seems to have greatly unsettled the crown prince’s side.”

“Really?”

It’s the first time I’ve heard this news.

Earl Acres was the second-ranking Aura Master after the second prince’s teacher, Marquis Vincent. And Margrave Otis’s daughter, Michelle Otis, is known for being a lunatic.

I’ve met her before, haven’t I? I At that time, I was so surprised that Michelle Otis’s ability to interpret English was included as her trail.

“It seems you haven’t heard the news yet.”

There was one reason why Pessius did not convey this important matter.

The news hadn’t yet been made public.

“Well, it’s only been an hour since I heard the news, so there’s nothing to be done.”

This was bad news for the crown prince and good news for the second prince.

Whether the second prince had manipulated this situation or not, I didn’t know the details, but my immediate action here was…

“Congratulations, Your Highness! Truly, isn’t this wonderful news!?”

“That’s right! Hahaha!”

To immediately offer congratulations with a bright smile was the right move. The second prince showed a more jovial laugh than usual.

Even though I felt like punching that smiling face, I clapped professionally and shared the joy.

Following the unexpected situation of the Saints Contest being moved up, what could this be about now?’

Since I was planning to visit the crown prince to request cooperation regarding the Saints’ Selection, I would soon learn the details of the situation.

—

A while later, after entering the prince’s palace through a secret passage, exchanged greetings with Crown Prince Michael, who had a characteristic narrow-eyed smile, but had a somewhat somber atmosphere, and sat down face to face.

“Judging by your expression, it seems like you have been informed of the general situation by Luke?”

This means that he is aware of all movements within the castle.

I nodded subtly in response.

Then Prince Michael, massaging his temples, explained the situation in detail.

“Michelle Otis and Earl Acres are distant relatives with the same maternal family. So, the two of them were quite close, like siblings.”

As a bonus, they did share similar political inclinations!

“Earl Acres especially adored Michelle Otis, treating her like his young sister. Upon hearing the news that she was embarking on a solo journey, he volunteered to be her escort.”

“An Aura Master volunteering as an escort? So that means the problem occurred during the trip?”

“That’s right.”

Then, with a sigh, the crown prince continued, and I had to furrow my brow in response.

“The problem is that their travel destination is the Freeus Republic, and the tension between these two and the Bringum Empire has heightened, so it wouldn’t be surprising if a war broke out at any moment.”

What a unique form of suicide…

It was only then that I could understand why Earl Acres, an Aura Master, volunteered as an escort.

“I don’t know if you’re aware, but Michelle Otis is a fervent fan of Archduke Lucas and was seriously devoted to finding his legacy. But isn’t Lucas’ Legacy has been discovered by the Freeus Republic, right? She couldn’t accept that fact, so she impulsively planned this journey.”

But as I listened to the prince’s words until the end, I had to wear a blank expression…

‘I guess it’s my fault?’

Because, in a way, I was the one who provided the cause for this incident.
