The Extra Wants To Live

Chapter 147: Guard Dog



Those who had become heavy cavalry and were charged into the ranks of heavy infantry, unlike when they had been confident at first, came to their senses and became thoughtful when they saw the solid formation.

But now they couldn't turn back.

"When Brother Aric returns, won't we be able to meet at the party?"

"I guess so."

"I'm trying to say hello, but I'm having trouble deciding what to say."

At Carl's calm voice, Milione rolled his eyes and looked down at him.

"I was thinking about what Brother Boros would like to say the most."

Carl smiled, squinting his eyes through his flowing blond hair. Carl already knew what that meant, and so did Milione.

'Aric must become the crown prince!'

If Carl, who had become the biggest obstacle threatening Aric position now that the crown prince's appointment had been delayed so much, said so, peace would come.

But for the military figures who supported Carl, those words from Carl must have been very disappointing.

That's why he needed Milione.

He needed the cavalry captain Milione Hansval, who was the most powerful man in the military in peacetime and realized what kind of person Carl was when he took his hand.

Milione, who knew that Carl was hiding the blade in a rotten rope, must suppress the divisions in the military and their disappointment in Carl.

"His brother, who has been lying in bed for a long time, is getting up and greeting him, so whatever it is, brother Aric will be happy."

"I guess so."

Carl let out a laugh.

Yeah, Aric will be really happy.

If you are Aric, who truly cares about the future of the empire, cares for its people, and is strict with yourself.

If Aric, who has the qualities of a great monarch and is concerned about the tragedy that will occur due to the dispute over the succession to the throne, is truly delighted by Carl's words to suppress the conflict.

If peace had been promised, it would have been better for Aric to become emperor...

"Hansval, I will truly support Brother Aric."

These were words that could only be said now, when everyone's eyes were turned away and everyone's ears were deaf.

"...what..."

At Carl's words, Milione muttered with a faint hint of bewilderment in his voice.

Didn't you plan on becoming emperor?

"That way we can find balance."

"…What are you talking about?"

"The one closest to the current throne."

"… prince Carl, I don't know what you are talking about."

Milione couldn't understand what Carl was saying.

Isn't that person Aric, and isn't the one trying to usurp that position Carl?

"Seeing that even the most powerful man in the military, Lord Hansval, said the same thing, it seems that Brother Adrian is indeed great."

"… … ."

For the first time, Carl said it out loud. Milione remained silent and glared at Carl, his blue eyes sparkling with distrust.

"Isn't it truly surprising that there is not the slightest suspicion about Brother Adrian, who is engaged to her, when the only legitimate successor to the Marquis Grilldy family, who possesses a formidable military force, is Gabianne Grilldy?"

"… … ."

Now that I think about it, that's what happened.

How powerful is the military force of the Marquis, especially the Marquis of Grilldy, who is based in the southwest of the empire and guards the border with the Kingdom of Minardi?

When they decide and point their swords, the scales of the empire will tip significantly.

But why didn't anyone warn Adrian?

Well, Adrian is deceiving everyone.

And Marquis Grilldy and Adrian's fiancée Gwen are also having a blast with Adrian.

Gwen plays the daughter of a marquis who is bewitched by the second prince who lives a dissolute life only for his angelic appearance.

Adrian, who actually deceived everyone by taking advantage of his debaucherous and idle life. How much have they acquired underwater without any checks and balances?

"Are you saying that you will use Aric as a guard dog to hurt Adrian?"

Instead of attacking Aric with Adrian, we will attack Adrian with Aric. Is that really true?

"Yes. Brother Adrian is too fierce to be put on a leash."

"…Fierce…"

The second prince, Adrian, who lives a lazy life with that angelic appearance, is fierce...

"Hansval, you have many eyes and ears." If you move rashly, you'll get caught.

"Even so, I can't close my eyes and block my ears." You can't just believe something without checking.

Carl smiled and put his hand on Milione's shoulder.

Kwaaaaang!

"Ahh!"

"Waaaaaaaaaah!"

Suddenly, the heavy cavalry that had been charging collided with the formation of heavy infantry, and people were thrown out and rolled on the ground.

Despite the people's cheers, Milione couldn't take his eyes and ears off Carl.

"Your Majesty has already taken my hand. Why did you take it when you didn't even trust me?"

"That and this are different."

"It's no different. It's just that the suspicion that took root in the weak heart of the ball fed on distrust and grew."

"Your Majesty, Carl, you are being excessive."

Milione warned Carl. Don't cross the line.

Carl slowly turned his head as he watched the heavy cavalry charge into the formation of heavy infantry, collapsing in a heap, the poor horses falling and rolling around.

Carl looked up at Milione like an angel... like Adrian, smiling.

"Are you going to let go of my hand?"

He says with that lovely and beautiful smile.

The moment he let go, the moment it leaves Carls hands, it is no longer his, so he will destroy it.

Carl will trample it down, burn it to dust, and leave no trace.he will bring destruction by ruling only with fire and lightning.

The current Carl does not have the power to destroy Milione.

However, if Carl decides to frame him, and involves Davron's Goban, grabs everyone and jumps into the boiling lava, then even Milione will not be able to escape safely.

Only then could Milione understand Carl's true feelings. It was as if Carl did not belong in this world, Milione thought, and it was an accurate insight.

He don't care whether the world and characters in the novel die or not, and I don't care if the empire falls.

For Carl, the only human in this world is his mother figure, Lilly.

Even he himself is just a king on the chessboard.

When you die, it's over.

But because of that, you can advance the king with a macro judgment to survive.

It exists in reality, but it does not exist in reality.

That's why you can have a sword dance on this huge board.

A crazy person who is not in his right mind.

A forked-tongued beast born between a monster and a demon.

A whispering snake hiding behind a thousand masks, where you can't tell how much is acting and how much is sincerity.

That was the true nature of Carl, revealed to Milione, who was born and lived in this world.

Carl smiled faintly as he watched the battered cavalry being helped to their feet and the heavy infantry shouting in triumph.

"See you next time, Hansval."

Then, Carl walked slowly, carrying his luggage on his back, joined his people who were waiting a short distance away, and left like the wind.

Milione looked down at the place where Carl had left with a pale face.

Milione, overwhelmed by the young prince, remained silent for a long time even amidst the commotion. He still couldn't tell exactly what hand he was holding.

But now he knew for sure that he couldn't shake it off.

…That's why it's valuable.

Wouldn't a beast that twists a child's wrist and throws him into a pit of fire have a better chance of success than a child who is trying to be a good adult?
