Qualifications of the Mind (20)
(3rd person pov)
Robert and Annabelle left the capital in a riot. The whole empire became aware of their acts against black magic.
Even in the South, prisoners involved in black magic were being escorted. Even a place that was not familiar with the affairs of the capital was now noisy with things related to black magic.
The problem was that public opinion toward Robert was too favorable.
There was hardly any mention of Prince Carlon, and all the people of the Empire praised only Robert.
Of course, the ordeal that Carlon faced wasn't just 'not mentioned'.
The empress was forbidden to have any influence in the social circles.
Meanwhile, due to an audit of the administration, Richard was severely disciplined while he was unconscious.
Needless to say, the documents were all related to Carlon.
"No matter how incompetent you are, how could you falsify documents?!"
The Emperor summoned Carlon and became very angry.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty... I was impatient because I was being pushed back by Robert."
"What? You..."
"All the people of the Empire praise only Robert, and His Majesty also has great trust in Robert..."
"..."
"Your Majesty has always been cold to me. So I felt like I was being chased. I am very ashamed."
Carlon knew how to arouse the Emperor's guilt. He secretly drove him away as a discriminatory parent.
The Emperor seemed to think that Carlon had tampered with the documents because of Robert.
Carlon also hurriedly dealt with urgent matters after the banquet, so he didn't get to the point where it was very serious.
But Robert also strongly demanded an audit of the Treasury.
The money problem could not be resolved unless it was directly addressed.
"I feel uncomfortable, Your Majesty."
After Robert left, Carlon cautiously appealed to the Emperor.
"In a case as important as black magic, everything is being left to Robert while I'm hiding."
The Emperor sighed and looked at Carlon, the Crown Prince.
Without special events, the Crown Prince could not be changed simply because of Robert's great merit and popularity with the people of the Empire.
In any case, if it was the throne that would go to Carlon, he had to establish the authority as the crown prince.
"So what do you want to do?"
"I want to follow Robert. This time, I want to be Robert's strength too."
"But Robert has both Ian Wade and Annabelle Rainfield..."
"My escort is also very talented. Did you not see him in person on the day of the banquet?"
The Emperor hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head.
"Okay, go ahead. Robert didn't say where he was going, but it's a big move, so it'll be easy to follow."
He took Carlon's words lightly. It was for the sake of the justification that 'this time, Carlon and Robert would defeat black magic together'.
