Episode 86
Episode 37. Natalie’s question (2)
Historically, there was no country that attracted demons except for the ancient country Cartaizen, the predecessor of Haseo.
Cartaizen Gaya was the home of black magic, so it could be, but it wasn’t an empire.
“It is a fact that even the youngest children in the mayor of Haseoguk know that the first princess of the empire has such a damn personality. But isn’t something strange? Even so, she’s not a woman so stupid as to attract demons.”
The data Chen brought was made up of coded words. Natalie skimmed through the thick archive as if speed reading.
“Now look at this.”
Natalie pointed her finger at one side of the document.
She transcribed and transcribed her fingertips onto a piece of white paper that lay beside her so that Yuma could read them. Yuma read it along.
“Three years ago on the morning of May 10th, the first princess presented an agenda to amend the land law. Hayes Rollmandy objected to this.”
“Look at this too.”
Likewise, Natalie transcribed the coded words into plain language very quickly. It seemed like it could be done with an imperial stenographer.
“Three years ago, on June 27, the first princess raised a question about the empire’s tax calculation method. The 2nd Princess faction, including Barry Scannon, a member of the Royal Family Guard, vehemently opposes it. You said you recorded all these crazy things?”
Looking at the data, Yuma got goosebumps.
The rose society was observing the empire more deeply than Yuma could have imagined.
This detailed record meant that there were spies working inside the imperial family. It was never something that the rose society could do alone.
“Which family is helping? I know the rose society is great, but you can’t have this much spying power alone. Even against the imperial castle.”
“You have a quick temper, too. Know that kind of thing, boss. I won’t be hiding anything from you.”
“How amazing.”
“If one or two loaches are released in the well, it will show, but no matter how many whales are mixed in the sea, it will not be visible.”
Kyle was a nation so gigantic that it could be compared to the sea, fitting the name of an empire.
“And people from the bottom of the underworld like us are relieved to have a trump card that can save us at any time. Now, keep watching.”
In the file of numerous documents, the first princess’ every move, as well as the proposed agenda or major political actions, were written.
[Three years ago, the first princess put forward an agenda for redistribution of local territories. Angry at the aristocrats in the capital who oppose it.]
[3 years ago, the first princess insisted on strengthening the magic academy’s scholarship system.]
[3 years ago, the first princess defended the Eastern Kantra Empire’s technological power. make a cautionary statement An agenda to increase the number of imperial magic researchers is passed.]
[The first princess directly punished the son of the Sirin Romano family who raped a maid 4 years ago. Cut off the genitals in one breath with heated scissors.]
‘That’s terrible. But the first princess, who is famous for her personality breakdown, did this too? But isn’t this like… a cruel but competent next ruler?’
The records from three years ago were all before Yuma became a eunuch. It was also a record from a year ago from the time Yuma returned.
Even during her time as a eunuch, Yuma was wary of Zishka’s vicious and capricious personality.
It’s because you could end up in a bad situation if you made eye contact for no reason.
When Yuma became a eunuch, support from the first princess was hitting the bottom. So, public opinion was that the second princess, Hella Rose, should be enthroned.
Yuma, who was a new eunuch at the time and had no ambition in life, had no need to know about the first princess’s actions.
Besides, not long after, the first princess rebelled and was even punished.
By order of Empress Asuka Roze, Zishka, who rebelled, was beheaded.
A few years later, Hella Rose, who was crowned as the Empress of the Empire, was finally able to commemorate her sister.
-She was a bad sister, but I still liked her. I still don’t know why he caused such an outrageous rebellion.
At the memorial service, the empress had said that to Yuma.
“Is something strange? Now let’s look at the records for the last two years.”
said Natalie, opening another folder.
“Now here.”
“Two years ago in May. The first princess takes a bath with the finest wine from Shallah. July 2 years ago. The first princess gathered the eunuchs and presented them with a fake wooden penis… This
was also the reason why Yuma hated the first princess.
At that time, Yuma was still on the verge of becoming a eunuch, but it was a very famous and humiliating incident among the eunuchs.
The first princess even found the eunuchs who abandoned the fake genitalia and even beat them.
“Two years ago in July, the second princess invited her sister to eat. He fed all the food to the attendant of the second princess, asking if he had poisoned it. Beat every time you vomit. Do you shed tears and apologized to the attendant you beat when you vomited in July two years ago?”
“It stays like this.”
“A year ago in March, the first princess strongly insisted on using more common criminals as workers by strengthening the Labor Collateral Act. He got slapped on the cheek by the empress after being very angry.”
Just before returning, it was around the time Yuma became a eunuch.
“Are you getting weird? I only received written reports, but this is the first time I see this file in person.”
“Right. People suddenly lost their taste. But isn’t this much something that can change after being pushed back in the battle for succession to the throne?”
Even if you look through the world history books, this happened frequently. The ability of the heirs who were pushed back from the succession of the throne or the throne to turn around at some point and let go of their minds.
“i think so too. But…
Natalie put the first princess’s files aside and opened the files of Hayes Rollmandy and Barris Scannon.
“There is nothing special about these two records. However, you can find traces of purchasing ‘roses’.”
Some of Hayes Rollmandi’s and Barris Cannon’s archives had red marks.
“rose?”
“Why is Jang Mi-hee called the Rose Society?”
“Isn’t that the reason that he subdued the underworld during the season when roses bloom?”
“I just put those poetic analogies on to make it sound nice. Our rose society is basically a gang of gangsters in the back alleys of Haseoguk. What do thugs sell the most?”
Yuma’s pupils shook.
“Is it a drug?”
“yes! Actually, it’s a drug. Imperial aristocrats are secretly selling them all. However, the name Rosehoe came about because of a special potion called ‘rose’. Although few people know about it now.”
Natalie pointed to the red-painted page.
“This red part
means the day they bought the ‘rose’. All three years ago.”
According to her explanation, Hayes Rollmandy and Barris Cannon had sent their subordinates to the Rose Association to purchase ‘roses’ three years ago.
Of course, ‘roses’ were not sold to just anyone because they were a special handling product.
However, since the amount they offered was beyond imagination, they sold it and tracked them down.
“How much did you offer?”
“About the 3-year budget of the rose society?
It was enough money to build a castle. There was no reason for us not to sell them.”
As a result of the tracking, the Rose Society was able to find out that the people who purchased the ‘rose’ were Hayes Rollmandy and Barris Cannon. The date was inferred and marked in red on the data.
“Now, looking at their progress after this red page, the records of 99 Hayes Rollmandi and Barris Cannon were not recorded in coded words like Zishka. Even Natalie didn’t have to decipher and transcribe it, Yuma could read it too.
“You sucked more taxes from the people of the territory. There was tax laundering in the process.”
“As expected, if we pretend to be ourselves, is it Chuck?”
“So you mean the princess got addicted to the medicine called ‘rose’ and lost her taste?”
“I mean, it’s suspicious. It’s so different from 3 years ago.
Besides, the guys who bought the ‘rose’ are the famous imperial nobles.”
“What effect does the drug called ‘rose’ cause?”
“There is no great effect. It just blurs my judgment, my mood gets extremely good and then it gets worse, and I see things very occasionally. It’s like a cheap drug you can get anywhere, so to speak.”
“But why is it a special product of the rose society?”
“It can never be detected. It leaves no traces of use. Even if the imperial family doctor directly examined the princess’ physical condition. I also used it a few times in Haseo.”
“Hmm…
It’s a hypothesis that seems plausible at first glance, but it was just an estimate.
“There is no evidence. The opponent is the first princess of the Empire and the Prime Minister’s Royal Guard Knight.
And did Hayes Rollmandy and Barris Cannon do it so poorly?”
“I wasn’t lying. It took six months for the sold ‘roses’ to return to the Empire. Our tracking team had to travel to various countries in the East for six months and even infiltrate a Kantra trading vessel.”
It was the story that ‘Rose’ traveled all over the world for six months and was finally brought back to the Empire.
“Can you confirm that the princess used ‘roses’?”
“of course.”
“You said it would never be detected? There are no traces of use left.”
Natalie sucked on her pipe and raised the corners of her mouth.
“I told you, people like us have to have a trump card. How can I do business if I don’t know that?”
“Great. You don’t intend to leave that bastard to me, do you?”
“of course. don’t worry baby
Anyway, this is just an estimate. But wouldn’t it be worth a look? It’s just that the method is a bit nasty, so it’s a problem…
“What method?”
“Aren’t you asking about my financial resources too openly? boss.”
“Ha I know. Let’s meet the princess and check it out.”
Even after hearing Natalie explain the situation, Yuma didn’t feel refreshed for some reason.
There was obviously a big difference between the first princess’s move three years ago and the current one.
Did he really drag in the demons for rebellion while drunk on drugs?
It was difficult to see that the first princess herself was like that. Heize Rollmandy or Barris Cannon must have instigated the mentally and physically weak state of the princess.
‘It’s Barris Cannon…. He was the one who killed Jishka Rose before returning. Somehow, this incident seems to be related to the item Heize was trying to find in the Tejiz Plateau.’
My head was complicated. First of all, I had to resolve the doubts in front of me.
Yuma and Natalie escaped from the ‘Morning Star’ and headed for Baris’ mansion.
