Ayanokouji Kiyotaka 182

Title: Preparations Complete, Return to the Territory

Everything Ayanokouji did before was to make Felt withdraw from the throne selection, so that he could make the current situation as close as possible to the content in the video.

Reduce the number of his political opponents to three.

Although Felt wasn’t very interested in the throne selection and didn’t know much about political struggles, she wasn’t much of a threat.

But the Sword Saint family represented by Reinhard had a huge influence in the royal capital. If Reinhard couldn’t be used, then he would be a huge obstacle for him.

At that time, Ayanokouji needed to find a way to get rid of Reinhard.

Reinhard’s strength is beyond reason. If he wanted to kill him, he would definitely pay a heavy price.

Even if Ayanokouji now has the Imagine Breaker ability and can erase Divine Protection on Reinhard, he still needs to touch the opponent with his right hand, and even if the opponent doesn’t have Divine Protection, there is still a terrifying power, and after releasing it, the other party is likely to be reborn because they regain Divine Protection.

But Ayanokouji naturally has a way to deal with it.

Perhaps Reinhard is almost invincible physically, but he may not be immune psychologically and spiritually.

Ayanokouji has many ways to discredit Reinhard and make him mentally tormented.

What would happen if Reinhard became a public enemy of the kingdom one day?

If Reinhard, who was humiliated and misunderstood, didn’t even have the chance to settle his grievances, he might release all the Divine Protection he possessed and commit suicide.

The future is uncertain and there are countless possibilities, but Ayanokouji naturally has a way to deal with Reinhard.

No one is truly invincible, not even Reinhard.

Reinhard is undoubtedly a true man, and such a character is more likely to be exploited to make the Sword Saint his pawn.

However, if Reinhard not only cannot be utilized by him, but even becomes an obstacle to his progress, Ayanokouji will not hesitate to exclude him.

The so-called friendship is useless.

This is a very risky step for him to personally threaten Felt and Rom, because if there is a mistake in the details in one place, his success can be nullified.

The reason why Ayanokouji took action on his own was to ensure that everything went according to his plan and there would be no problems.

This time’s travel experience was much more difficult than the one in the video, he had to be absolutely sure.

Although he theoretically still has the Return by Death ability as insurance, he would never use Return by Death as a backup method.

It’s been almost half a month since Felt and Rom left the royal capital.

After Felt’s withdrawal from the throne selection was announced, there was an uproar. After all, her opponent was the candidate supported by Sword Saint Reinhard van Astrea.

For a while, various rumors spread, many of which were unreasonable. This made Reinhard dizzy at first, because he thought it was his fault, and he also respected Felt’s choice of not announcing her withdrawal from the throne selection.

However, Ayanokouji took action at this time and helped Reinhard quell the rumors, which earned him a thank you.

Felt and Rom went to Kararagi under Ayanokouji’s arrangement. They should be able to live their lives without being bothered by others and without worrying about food and clothing in the future.

Of course, Anastasia’s help was indispensable for this, her main influence is in Kararagi.

The reason why Anastasia was willing to help was not because of their temporary alliance, but because by letting Felt withdraw from the throne selection, she would lose one competitor, and she would be able to control Felt within Kararagi equivalent to having an extra trump card, and she had taken over his control in the future, if necessary, she could use this as blackmail.

And Ayanokouji naturally knew what Anastasia was thinking, but still chose to do this, and of course he had his own considerations.

As Anastasia participated in this matter, the two were equivalent to accomplices, and the other party could not use this to blackmail him.

Besides, Felt’s special identity is equivalent to a hot potato, and she is likely to bring a lot of trouble to Anastasia. This action is likely to make her angry.

In the video, the reason why Ayanokouji kept Felt by his side was because her identity as a descendant of nobility had not been revealed.

But now Felt’s identity is known to everyone, this has turned her into an existence that may cause trouble.

Anastasia will definitely spend a lot of money and effort to hide Felt’s identity.

So this kind of behavior has more advantages than disadvantages for Ayanokouji. It increases the possibility of seducing Reinhard, reduces the number of competitors and the possibility of unexpected situations, and can also affect other competitors to suffer losses.

Over the past two weeks, Ayanokouji has relied on his own abilities to help Crusch fully stabilize the underground market in the royal capital.

He knew that there was no way to take advantage of this dark trade route in a short period of time, so he chose to stabilize the situation temporarily and negotiate with the merchants to ensure their temporary safety and interests.

The market economy, which was initially very volatile, finally stabilized, and the economy of the Royal Capital has slightly recovered.

Ayanokouji also secretly contacted Anastasia, allowing her to enter the royal capital’s capital market again at this time.

The two secretly maintain a cooperative relationship and can benefit a lot from it.

Although Anastasia and Emilia are competitors in the throne selection, for various reasons, Emilia’s camp is still unable to expand its power in the royal capital, so Ayanokouji temporarily formed an alliance.

Although on the surface Anastasia will gradually control the economy and market of the royal capital, Ayanokouji wants these things to be within his control, because he can understand Anastasia’s camp more clearly.

When the time is right, he can use other methods to replace her.

In the video, he showed off the world’s leading production technology, but there is still more that he didn’t show.

And Felt, in turn, could be a bargaining chip for Ayanokouji to force Anastasia.

Even if Anastasia is a candidate for the throne selection, she is not from the country of Lugnica. Once she is involved in the matter of ‘kidnapping the blood of the nobility’, everything will become very complicated.

Before forming an alliance with Anastasia, or even before traveling to this world, Ayanokouji had already thought of ways to get rid of her.

In addition, during this period, he also came to communicate with Reinhard every day on the grounds of learning swordsmanship from him, as in the previous video.

His relationship with Reinhard gradually became closer, and Reinhard had almost no defenses against him.

Now in Reinhard’s mind, he has completely concluded that Ayanokouji is different from the person in the illusion. At present, Ayanokouji in this world is a trustworthy person.

Therefore, Reinhard repeatedly expressed his opinion in the royal capital, claiming that Ayanokouji is currently a trustworthy existence, and the same goes for Crusch, so Ayanokouji’s reputation has changed during this period, some doubts about him, it is much better than when I first came to this world.

Not only that, under Ayanokouji’s persuasion, Reinhard finally chose to dedicate his loyalty to Emilia. He believes that Felt’s withdrawal from the throne selection is his responsibility, and he wants to follow Ayanokouji’s side, improve himself further to avoid making the same mistake again.

Ayanokouji has completed the preparations in the Royal Capital. Now he is preparing to return to the Sanctuary to finish the remaining matters there, and then return to the Royal Capital with Emilia and the others.

Although it is much more difficult than in the video, taking root in the royal capital is a must. After all, the royal capital is the core of the kingdom and the place where power is concentrated.

Because of the illusion of the sky, the situation here has undergone a shocking change, but it still needs to be done.

At this time, Ayanokouji is holding Beatrice’s hand and standing in front of the mansion.

“Ayanokouji, are you leaving now?” Crusch is wearing formal clothes and is standing at the door.

“Yes, I have stayed in the royal capital for too long, and I have to go back. This period of time has really been troublesome for Crusch-sama.” Ayanokouji bowed deeply.

“No, no, no, it’s not troublesome. I’m the only one who has been bothering you during this period!” Crusch said quickly.

“But from now on, Crusch-sama and I are likely to become enemies.” Ayanokouji said deliberately.

“You mustn’t say that.” Crusch took a step forward, walked in front and said in a very serious tone, “Although in terms of political stance, Emilia and I are different, but I know that we are all for the kingdom to become better, we are just preparing to take different paths, and this time I owe you a favor. If you need my help in any way in the future, I will definitely do my best! We are also willing to form a temporary alliance with Emilia and face other opponents together first.”

She never thought that even before she and Ayanokouji met, the other party was already an ally of Anastasia.

“Mm, I need to discuss this matter with Emilia first when I get back.” Ayanokouji didn’t make a decision immediately.

“Okay, when Ayanokouji and Emilia return to the capital together, I will definitely entertain you well.” A smile appeared on Crusch’s face, and it seemed like she really surprised Ayanokouji himself.

“See you again.” Ayanokouji nodded.

He and Beatrice immediately boarded the dragon carriage prepared for them by Crusch and began their journey back to their territory. To ensure their safety, Crusch also secretly sent Wilhelm to escort them out of the royal capital.

“Betty, how have you been doing all this time?” Ayanokouji turned his head.

“Not bad, their food is pretty good.” Beatrice said with her eyes closed, looking indifferent, but her hand still held Ayanokouji’s finger, “After all, if Kiyotaka is here, Betty feels the same everywhere.”

“Really?” Ayanokouji looked at her, and there seemed to be a slight blush on her baby-like chubby face.

“Betty has said it once! Betty won’t say it again!”

“That’s right, I was thinking if Betty said it again, I could tell another story tonight.”

Really?!

Beatrice opened her eyes, and her petal-like eyes were filled with light.

“It’s so despicable to use such a despicable way to approach a young girl!”

The Ishigami who was eating bento and watching the video almost bit the chopsticks in his mouth to pieces.

“What do you mean by despicable way? He’s clearly very good at talking.”

Chika replied with a knowing smile on her face,

“Moreover, Ayanokouji is obviously younger, and Betty is four hundred years old – but I know that Ishigami has been targeting Ayanokouji. You must be jealous.”

As Chika spoke, several other girls in the office also nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, Ishigami is jealous!”

“B-How can I be jealous of this guy!”

Ishigami pretended to be indifferent, but the clatter of his teeth grew louder.
