The Extra Wants To Live

Azgoth did not attend the party. He took some time to spend alone with Aric when he returned, and then returned to work. It seems like the intention was not to take away Aric's main character position at this party.

The atmosphere at the party was quite mysterious. The nobles of the political world, centered around Aric, were elated with double joy, with Aric's return and Carl's declaration of support.

On the other hand, the nobles of the military were busy just watching the situation closely, unable to easily gauge how to accept this situation, and some of the impatient ones even left their posts.

Carl's attitude toward this matter was so sophisticated that it could almost be called a model for a nobleman.

"Hansval, have you exchanged greetings with Brother Aric?"

Carl looked around and found the cavalry captain, Milione Hansval, and said this.

Milione approached Carl and Aric in a somewhat subtle manner.

"It's the first time since the last party, Lord Carl. As you can see, it's not yet."

"Brother Aric, this is Captain Hansval of the Cavalry. Oh, of course you know better than me."

Through his intermediary, Carl arranged for Aric, who had political support, and Milione, the most powerful man in the military in peacetime, to shake hands.

Milione expressed his position by greeting Carl first even after seeing Aric, which was quite meaningful to Aric.

The military has yet to follow Aric. It was just Carl who did it.

After exchanging a quick greeting with Milione, Aric whispered softly to Carl.

"Let's talk about it later."

"Yes, brother."

Aric looked quite satisfied, even though he knew that the situation was quite dire.

Carl naturally wandered around the party venue away from Aric, and in this strangely turned situation, few people approached Carl easily.

"You really did it."

"Brother, this is really annoying, so stop it."

Nero approached Carl and said in surprise. In fact, despite Carl's assurances, Nero was quite anxious about what absurd things this lump of variables might do.

"Your Mother, it's she been hiding it again."

Carl criticized Nero for not bringing Bella.

Even when Carl tried to say hello, Nero kept a strange distance from him.

"It's a bit strange in a place like this. I'll invite you separately later, so wait."

"Okay, you should go and entertain your mother who is alone, little gentleman."

"Shut up."

Nero roughly patted Carl on the shoulder and turned away. It seems that the tension has eased a lot since Carl expressed his support for Aric as promised.

There is now nothing that officially threatens the position of Crown Prince of Aric.

…officially.

"How can you look at your younger brother more passionately than your fiancée…?"

"… ."

At Gwen's grumbling, Adrian firmly pulled her crossed arms. Gwen, feeling annoyed inside, changed her expression and followed Adrian.

"Is it worth paying attention to?"

Gwen whispered, covering her mouth with her fan.

Carl publicly expressed his support for Aric, even though he had the support of the military.

This is by no means light.

Even if it is just a trick to divert attention, since it is an official declaration, it will be a major obstacle when seeking the position of crown prince in the future.

There, Carl himself acted as the intermediary, allowing Aric and Milione of the military, who were on bad terms, to exchange greetings.

No matter how Adri look at it, it doesn't seem like Carl is after the throne.

"It's truly threatening because I don't know."

Adrian muttered, barely moving his lips.

Adrian was now in quite an awkward situation. The plan was subtly disrupted by Carl's sudden appearance like a comet.

He thought that Nero would become stuck in a situation where he would betray the military and just stand still.

But suddenly, Carl took Nero's place and, with surprising energy, took control of the military in one fell swoop.

And now that he is trying to reconcile Aric and the military, it is hard to imagine how much blood will be shed when Adrian draws his sword in the future.

Even so, Adrian was unable to clearly see through Carl's true intentions.

'Is there really nothing suspicious about it? Or is it just so clever that it can fool the 'bloody ring finger'?

' Beyond Adrian's unchanging expression, a torrential current raged.

'Or is it that the woman whose intentions are unknown is keeping her mouth shut?'

Camilla, a competent but not entirely trustworthy woman with too many questionable qualities.

'Change the plan.'

Adrian immediately sought a new path.

He boldly gave up the path that had already been perfectly paved from beginning to end.

What was needed there was left behind or preserved and moved, and even if it took a little detour, a new path was made to a certain place.

Adrian's cool and bold judgment was the result of a perfect combination of his brilliant intellect, keen insight, and eerie intuition.

Even though he clearly had everything in his hands, Adrian felt as if he was being dragged around by something.

This happened because Carl knew all about Adrian's future plans. It's like playing a game with someone who can read your mind. The numbers that were set for the distant future were being blocked one by one.

"Later..."

Adrian bowed his head slightly and whispered in Gwen's ear.

Gwen's face twitched for a moment, and the back of her neck turned slightly red.

It seemed like a show of affection between loving fiancés, but in reality, Gwen was embarrassed and hesitated.

But knowing that Adrian was not a man moved by personal feelings, Gwen suppressed herself and nodded slightly, lifting her chin proudly.

The party continued with each person having their own thoughts, and Aric left quite early, making the excuse that he was tired from the long journey.

At that moment, Carl also stepped back appropriately and turned to Aric so that everyone could take it meaningfully.

In this hall, everyone's were focused on Carl and Aric until the party ended.
