The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

I returned to Haagenti’s base and began searching through her laboratory.

The first thing I spotted was a bottle filled with blood.

“So they came from here huh.”

The bottle was labeled ‘Vampire’.

And next to that bottle, there are various bottles containing liquids with all kinds of different colors.

These are probably the drugs that Kruger used to turn people into monsters during his rebellion.

Moreover, on top of the neatly arranged desk were a number of operation plans.

There was one on how they plan experiments with children who possess odd eyes and ones with Zandra-aneue and Gordon-aniue’s names written on it.

For Zandra-aneue, there were details about how they deliver children to her for experimentation. As for Gordon-aniue, there were details of how they sent children that can be used for military purposes to him.

“Ever since what happened in the east…….they have been involved in almost everything.”

The fact that the Vampires I caught in the east didn’t say anything until they were about to be killed was because they knew that Demons are behind this huh. With a Demon that powerful, they should be able to forcefully control those Vampires with ease.

They should be able to procure the monster-controlling flute ‘Hameln’ as well.

Kruger’s vampire blood supplier was probably them.

Furthermore, they had been fuelling Zandra-aneue and Gordon-aniue’s madness while using the children from all across the continent in their experiments.

“It’s all their fault…….”

Muttering so, I throw as much evidence as I can into the transfer gate.

The evidence I discovered will be transferred to Jii-san’s room in the castle where Sebas will organize them.

Then, I noticed an operation plan with a familiar word written on it.

“Highness……?”

That word was written on only one of the plans.

It was written that this Highness is in a cooperative relationship with the Grand Duke and that things are mostly proceeding according to their plan.

However, this one was cut off in the middle.

There should be a continuation but I can’t find it here.

“As I thought, she did get rid of the dangerous stuff huh……”

After the upper level was destroyed, it was only a brief moment before I came down to this laboratory.

Moreover, Haagenti thought that she had the upper hand at first.

Even so, she still destroyed this one particular report.

There must be something she wanted to hide.

“The Grand Duke is the leader of Grimoire. And Highness is probably a part of a royal family of some country but……..”

With their involvement in the Empire’s affairs so far, it is easy to think that this Highness is a part of the Imperial Family.

Moreover, there is one candidate in this succession war that appeared to never make his move so far.

Eric.

But.

“……that is too easy.”

I can’t get rid of my discomfort.

I don’t think that the answer would be that easy.

That’s why I decided to stop thinking about this for the time being.

After all, I still have an objective to fulfill.

“Let’s head off and destroy the rest of the bases.”

Saying so, I left Haagenti’s base and moved to the next one.

After that, I had no problem crushing the remaining Grimoire’s bases.

All bases were completely destroyed after I was done with my investigation and as far as I am aware, every base they had in the Empire was destroyed. I left none standing.

However, I encountered no Demon aside from Haagenti.

“It seems that their main force is in the Kingdom.”

I told Sebas and Jii-san as I transferred to his secret room in the castle where they are organizing the evidence I discovered.

“You still managed to have quite a good harvest right?”

Jii-san said while keeping his eyes fixed on one of the plans.

Certainly, I should have enough proof now.

That the Empire was under attack by Grimoire.

However, that was something I already expected.

“It was a good harvest but this can not put a lid on them. They are all…….something that has already happened after all.”

There is nothing that can lead us to what they are planning in the future.

And we can not change the past.

The evidence here only fuels my anger toward Grimoire.

“But, everything is not in vain, sir.”

“Exactly. With evidence, we can move people.”

“…….right.”

With the evidence in our hands, we can persuade others.

If we can persuade people that they are a threat, we can get others to cooperate with us.

Our opponent is an organization.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary organization but one backed by Demons.

Fighting alone against an organization that can launch an attack on a big country like ours would be irrational.

Now, it will be a fight between organizations.

“Jii-san. Sorry but–.”

“You want me to pretend to be Arnold Lakes Adler for a while right. Don’t worry, just go.”

“Thank you. Sebas, the evidence?”

“I’ve finished organizing them, sir.”

I exhaled a long sigh as I received the organized report from Sebas.

What is lost can never be returned. But I can still decrease the number of future sacrifices.

“Take care of the rest for me. I am heading to the Headquarters.”

“It would be nice if you can mobilize every adventurer huh.”

“No……I will only try to mobilize the high-ranked adventurers. It will only increase the damage if low-ranked adventurers are included in this as well. With the Headquarters as it is now, the folks over there should understand the urgency of this.”

The former Guild Headquarters may not have lifted their fat asses but the current leader of the guild is Clyde.

The Demons are blending in with humans moreover, they are working with a criminal organization.

He should understand how abnormal and dangerous this situation is.

“Then I’m off.”

Saying so, I started transferring to the Guild Headquarters.

After a series of transfer gates.

I arrived at the Guild Chief’s Office.

“I have to talk to you.”

“Cough-! If you want to talk to me then at least knock before you come in!”

Clyde, who was in the middle of drinking his tea, spat the tea out after he saw me suddenly transferred in.

Ignoring Clyde’s protest, I put the report on his desk.

“I crushed Grimoire’s bases in the Empire. This is what I found.”

“Oi Oi……this is-”

“Also…….they have established a method to summon a demon into a human’s body. I have already fought one but I think only SS-rankers can deal with them for good.”

“……..the Demons have returned to this continent huh…….”

Hearing my discovery on the Demons, Clyde muttered with a serious expression.

It wasn’t until the invasion of the Demon King that the Adventurer Guild began to defend the entire continent from a neutral position.

Just as the Imperial Family has been preparing for them, the Adventurer Guild has also prepared to combat the Demon Threat.

And the time finally arrived.

“Come with me.”

“What’s the plan?“

“We are going to discuss this first. With the rulers of this continent that is.”

After saying that, Clyde speaks to his subordinate who was outside of his door.

“I am using my authority as Chief of the Adventurer Guild to convene a meeting with the kings of every country. We are hosting a Summit (TLN:Kanji read the Wise King Conference). Inform the leaders of every country that it’s a continental crisis!”

The Adventurer Guild has several pieces of secret technology.

Long-distance communication is one of them.

With the possibility that these technologies will intensify the wars between countries, the Guild never leaks them to the outside.

However, since they have their uses, the Guild makes use of them to protect the continent.

The Guild Chief has the authority to hold meetings with country leaders using such technologies.

However, there is only one agenda that justify the use of this authority. A Continental Crisis.

TLN: Which do you prefer, The Summit, or the Wise King Conference
