Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death

Chapter 441

The Royal Council

In the royal house of the Kingdom of Sunkland, Solecsudo castle, there was a room with a rectangular table. Around it sat seven men. The person who was sitting in the middle was tall and strong, with gray hair and sharp eyes. The way he dressed showed that he was King Abram Sol Sunkland.

Abram frowned as he heard his headmaster give a report.

“You say that a group of thieves that are unusually good on horses...”

“Yes, Your Majesty, that’s right. They were able to get away from our best mounted troops. These are not your average thieves. I think they are working for that wandering Equestrian Kingdom.”

“That’s interesting. Sion, tell me what you think about it.”

Sion sat up straight when his father looked at him.

“Yes, your highness. I think we shouldn’t jump to conclusions too quickly.”

“...And why are you being careful?”

“Many people will suffer because of wars between countries. It is too soon to say that the Equestrian Kingdom is to blame. I don’t think they would attack us just for fun, and they have no other reason to.”

“Ah, Your Highness is wise, but still young,” said Count Lampron, a nobleman who loved Sunkland and was very loyal to his king. He laughed out loud. “Not all rulers have as much knowledge as Your Highness. You shouldn’t think that other countries will act as wisely as our glorious one.”

“The actions of many countries are driven by mindless expansionism. There are plenty of stupid rulers who will attack other countries for no good reason just to get more land.”

“Your words are a little bit too rude for these calm times, Count Lampron. To some ears, they might sound like the words of someone who wants to start a war,” said another speaker.

“Oh? I didn’t think that would come from you of all people.”

The Royal Council was a group of nobles who got together to talk about politics. Sion had no plans to get involved in government until he graduated from Saint-Noel, so he never really cared much about the assembly. But his time at school had made him see things a little differently. He was most influenced by the princess of Tearmoon, who was the same age as him and was actively trying to change things in her kingdom.Gẹtt the latest novels at

What are Mia and the others doing right now?

In his mind, he saw her again, dressed in purple. But the voice of a different girl reached his ears.

If I don’t tell her now, I’ll be sorry later, huh...?

The words of Tiona, which were so serious and important, rang in his head. There were definitely things he wanted to say to her.

Sion smiled at him to make him feel better. It didn’t do what it was supposed to do.

Keithwood thought...

It’s because of how he’s been acting lately. He seems to be in a hurry to get something done. There’s a strange feeling of worry, even desperation...

Keithwood could even say when Sion’s behavior had started to change. Last winter, it happened. In particular, after they had gone to Princess Mia’s birthday party in the city of Tearmoon.

That day, did something happen? I can’t think of anything in particular, but...

Just then, as they were getting ready for Sion to leave...

“Sion!”

A young boy who wasn’t quite a teen ran toward them. His hair was the same silver color as Sion’s, but he didn’t look as tough as Sion’s because he didn’t train regularly. He seemed more fragile and delicate than the older boy.

Echard Sol Sunkland was the second prince of Sunkland and Sion’s younger brother. He turned ten this year.

“I heard the news, Sion.” Echard asked with worry in his eyes, “Are you really going to eliminate the bandits yourself?”

Sion smiled to try to make his brother feel better. “You’re right. And only the best of our men will be with me. That doesn’t mean I’ll relax my guard, though. Also, Keithwood is going to be there. I’ll be alright.”

“But... But if something bad were to happen to you...”

“Ha ha ha, Lord Echard, you worry too much. When Your Highness was your age, he was already better at swordplay than grown men,” a nearby old knight joked.

The troops around him all started praising his skills.

“His Highness is a master at using a sword. No thief will be able to beat him.”

“Lord Echard, you’d know if you learned from him. Why don’t you ask His Majesty to teach you something?”

Echard gave the knights a strange smile as they laughed.

That doesn’t do the boy any good at all... Keithwood bit his lip as he looked at the conversation from the side. He could see that Echard was going through a lot of stress, most of which was caused by his intense jealousy of his brother. Nobles who are interested in politics could use disagreements between the two princes to help their own parties. But I can’t really get into this. I shouldn’t say anything. It’s not my place to speak.

The two princes had a small but clear disagreement, and Keithwood could only hope that it wouldn’t get worse.
