Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death
chapter-137

Princess Mia is coming!

Downtown Senia is where the wealthier people live. In there was a mansion that was once lived by a merchant. In its basement, Chancellor Dasayev Donovan was imprisoned. His situation wasn’t too bad. Because of his old age, his captors treated him relatively well. Still, he would rather be free.

“Well, do you feel like cooperating with us yet?”

The frivolous looking man asked him after entering the room. Dasayev shook his head silently.

“I don’t understand you. I know you have no family or relatives. But for the sake of the people, isn’t it time make a stand?”

“I don’t think His Majesty made an irreparable mistake. I will continue to voice out my concerns only through words. Killing His Majesty won’t solve anything and will only cause chaos and suffering to the people.”

“You should stand on top instead. If you can see what needs to be done, then you can solve it quicker. I’m sure you are interested, right?”

Standing at the top of the country… it’s something that every noble or politician longs for at least once.　However, Dasayev shakes his head immediately.

“Enough. In the first place, do you think I would obey the words of someone who won’t even give me his real name?”

“Ah? Was that so? I thought I was the first to introduce myself before… My name is.”

“Jem… wasn’t it?”

It was the most common name in the area. It’s so common that people who don’t give their names are called “Nameless Jems.” Therefore, Dasayev did not think that this was the man’s real name.

“Begone. I’m not young enough to be tempted by the offer of a suspicious person.”

“Well, that’s fine. But do know that even my patience has its limits.”

Jem shrugged and left the room.

“Oh, shit, it’s awful … That old man is getting on my nerves.”

Upon entering the hallway, Jem muttered in a rough tone.

“If only I could, I would have killed him already… Damn it. Graham better finds someone who can be used …”

With his training as a Wind Crow, it was easy for him to kill Dasayev. And that was actually the original plan. However, there was a reason why they couldn’t do that.

Unlike his counterpart in Tearmoon Empire, Dasayev Donovan don’t have a Tiona Rudolvon. He had no children, and his wife has passed away long time ago. All his relatives are old and are faithful subordinates of the king. None of them would ever consider rebellion. Therefore, Dasayev’s death would not be of any real advantage as nobody would take revenge for him.

Lambert is certainly a good orator. In addition, with Jem’s teaching, he has been learning how to do cold reading. Stirring up people’s emotions is quite an easy task. All that one has to do is to know what the other person wants to hear and push them in the desired direction. Wrap it in pleasant words and mix it with poison. In fact, he manipulated a number of people this way. This includes the Remno’s rebels to Sunkland’s Wind Crows. But it still wasn’t enough. To have a successful revolution, there needs to be a core target that the mob can rally upon.

“Had everything gone according to plan, it would be time to start inciting chaos in the empire now. But that meddling brat…”

It was all the fault of the Wisdom of the Empire. She crushed their plans in Tearmoon. Now they have to rewrite the script and rush with their plans for Remno in a short time. They were totally underprepared because of her.

The new plan was supposed to be Lambert rallying the people to rescue Chancellor Dasayev Donovan. The rescued Lord Donovan will then join the Revolutionary Army. He will be the one to lead the people in anti-government activities; and at the same time, he will denounce the royal government.

That is why, Donovan was imprisoned in this town, Senia. Jem thought he could still salvage the situation if he was able to persuade him.

“That stupid guy …”

He wanted to wait until he converted Donovan to their side before starting the revolts. But Lambert incited the people and started a riot on his own. Eventhough Lambert’s skill in oration is a great asset, at the moment he is a great nuisance.

“It seems like I made a mistake in choosing the person for the job. I was only planning to hold onto Donovan as a back-up. But now, it seems I don’t have enough time.”

Jem took out a book from his bosom and a distorted smile appeared on his face. The book, with its black-painted cover, seemed to give off some creepy air.

“The Wisdom of the Empire, Mia Luna Tearmoon. I heard she’s a friend of Rafina Orca Belluga. It’d better not be that woman pulling the strings.”

He muttered bitterly to himself while tracing his fingers along the book’s cover. As he did, a pattern emerges. It was shaped like a snake.

“Starting with the collapse of the empire, all the kingdoms will follow to fall into ruins. The chaos that comes from the destruction of order. That is our long-cherished desire… I won’t let anyone get in the way.”

He continued thinking on how to persuade Dasayev Donovan. He was indeed right. Chaos and collapse are about to happen. But it won’t be of the nations. Rather it will be the collapse of his plans due to a little girl.

The countdown has begun. Mia was coming.
