My Lucky Encounter From The Game Turned Into Reality - M.L.E Chapter 66: Peaceful Feeling (Part 2)

It seems that these nobles are misunderstanding something. They suspect that I supported the Revolutionary Army because I knew about this situation in advance.

Naturally, the Crown Prince, who doesn’t know the situation, expressed his doubts, and I sent a warning glance to Earl Acres, signaling him not to talk nonsense with that expression.

It doesn’t matter if he has misconceptions, but openly disclosing illegal activities in front of the Crown Prince, I can’t fathom what he’s thinking. We had agreed to keep the secrets intact.

“What do you mean?”

Only then did Acres realize his mistake and sealed his lips.

If we were to assess which of our secrets would cause a bigger scandal, it would undoubtedly be related to Lady Otis, who had obtained part of Archduke Lucas’s data.

I can somehow mitigate my actions, but they have the potential to drag the Bringum Empire into it.

I signaled Sealook with my eyes, making it clear that I wanted him to explain the situation to the Crown Prince’s question.

“Well, I actually enlisted the help of the Revolutionary Army of the Prius Republic during the process of rescuing you two.”

“Oh, there was such an incident?”

“We needed local information, after all. And, coincidentally, we had some connections over there.”

“Connections?”

“I’m friends with the leader of the Revolutionary Army.”

“Oh, really? That’s interesting.”

“Thanks to that, we had to spend quite a bit of money. I was surprised to learn that their scale, which I found out about this time, was larger than I thought.”

“In a way, this situation could work as an opportunity for the Revolutionary Army.”

“I also think so.”

I don’t believe the Crown Prince, who conceals his true intentions, takes my words at face value. But for now, he seems to believe me enough that we can move on.

I quickly changed the subject.

“For now, it seems better not to make any official statements about this war.”

“Indeed.”

The Crown Prince closed his eyes as if contemplating for a moment.

Meanwhile, Acres, under the scrutiny of Lady Otis and me, shrunk his shoulders. Despite being in his forties, he is a gentle and innocent man in many ways. It’s a bit annoying, but…

“Let’s wrap things up here for now. Earl Acres and Lady Otis must absolutely keep quiet about Marquis Lawrence and Count Klein. These two will be crucial weapons in the upcoming struggle for the throne. Understand?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Understood.”

“No, Earl Acres, please stay in the palace and avoid meeting anyone else. I have a feeling you might inadvertently reveal something.”

“What?”

That’s the right response.

In my opinion, it would be better to keep a close eye on Earl Acres directly.

“Oh, I see.”

“Then, should I stay here just in case?”

“If Lady Otis agrees, then it’s reassuring.”

“Yes, I’ll do that too. Somehow, I feel like I’ll see Marquis Lawrence and Count Klein often if I stay here.”

I chuckled at Mechelle’s words, and Arcia expressed her disappointment, saying it would be difficult to kill.

And so, after a day filled with events, starting from our visit to the Republic of Prius, where we met the Revolutionary Army and engaged in unexpected deals, to the Bringum Empire’s declaration of war, the day’s work had come to an end.

—

The war between the Bringum Empire and the Republic of Prius is progressing rapidly.

Simultaneously with the declaration of war, the expeditionary force of the Bringum Empire advanced towards the Republic of Prius at a terrifying speed, as if surrounding it.

In response, the Republic of Prius utilized the advantages of its home ground and established a solid defense line.

Although direct conflict has yet to occur, it could happen at any moment, possibly within the next three days, experts predicted.

The Republic of Prius remained consistent in its response to the war.

“We will stand and fight. We will definitely take the Empire for justice.”

They spoke in this manner.

Many people scoffed at the Republic’s confident response.

Although the course of war can be unpredictable, even considering all variables, it was unimaginable that the Bringum Empire would be defeated.

In hindsight, it was a wise decision to hide the Fate and shift our focus elsewhere.

If the Bringum Empire had focused its suspicions on me, our Reinhart Kingdom would have become the battlefield.

Even for the Republic of Prius, one of the major nations representing Rondel, it was a chaotic situation, let alone Reinhart Kingdom.

“Marquis Lawrence, are you ready?”

“Yes!”

And so, as the war between the Bringum Empire and the Republic of Prius heated up the world,

I found myself in an unexpected situation.

“All right, let’s start the filming!”

In a very bewildering situation, which was a television appearance,

– Adrian Lawrence, the young hero of the Reinhart Kingdom!

– Welcome to Lord Lawrence’s visit to the Kingdom of Jordi!

“Kyaaaah!”

“Oppaaaaa!”

“Wait! Wait! Fans over there! We’re starting the filming now, so please be quiet!”

And it wasn’t even a television appearance in our country; it was in another country.

In the midst of chaos, my schedule was truly going crazy.

“Our Marquis, you’re very popular and so impressive. How about having a drink later?”

Letting out a deep sigh, I pushed away the persistent female entertainer and looked at dozens of cameras and nearly a hundred filming staff.

How did the situation end up like this?

“Awareness is what Ivril lacks compared to other candidates in the Saints Competition. To solve that, the two of you need to make an effort.”

That was the plan proposed by Eric Jones, a key strategist and political talent at the Talent Institute, a few days ago during the Ivril Saintess Making Camp.

In other words, the reason I was participating in this filming wasn’t for the sake of celebrity play but as part of a strategy to make Ivril a Saintess.
