I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.346

The Duke swallowed his saliva and asked.

“What are we going to do?”

I quietly took out His Majesty’s royal decree, which I had brought with me, and presented it to the Duke respectfully.

“His Majesty Michael von Reich, Emperor of the Reich Empire, has ordered me that His Majesty the Duke may freely use the Imperial Army, including me, if he wishes. Therefore, command me to remove Captain Giuseppe and Regent Andrew and protect this land.”

A boy who is only 11 years old would feel aversion to the idea that he should kill his uncle, no matter how much the regent was aiming for his head.

He couldn’t answer what I said and looked around in a hurry or rolled his eyes and pretended to be thinking about something else.

In the face of a power struggle, you have to kill your own family if necessary, but seeing the duke’s hesitation makes me feel frustrated, like I got sick after eating sweet potatoes without water.

The person with whom I have to make a decision is one year younger than my son Friedrich, so I need to understand with a broad mind.

After a moment of silence, Chloe asked me.

“Captain Jaeger, do you really think that the regent is trying to get rid of you after kicking you out of the duke’s position?”

“If you accept this, Chloe will become Duchess Philolence in the future. So from now on, I will answer with respect. If I were Captain Giuseppe or Regent Andrea, I would definitely separate your wife from His Majesty. Then, when the duke’s position is solidified, they will kill His Royal Highness under the pretense of an accident. “This is to eliminate any remaining risk factors.”

“Power is cruel. I planned to serve His Highness the Duke until the end even when he was just a boy, and I was determined to protect him. “The man called Uncle is trying to take away the title of duke and even kill his own nephew.”

“What can I do? That’s the way of power. And these are things you will have to get used to soon, so accept them as they are.”

An 11-year-old boy wouldn’t be able to maintain his position as a duke unless I stayed by his side and took over all of his duties.

Chloe, who is 15 years old, is a girl with the tenacity to go from being a mere maid to the level of a knight in just a few years, so as long as she has an outstanding administrator and prime minister, she will be able to maintain the duke’s family to a decent level.

In the future, the Duke of Philorence’s family will be managed as if it were based on Chloe’s skirt for at least four years, so I answered with the intention of calmly informing the ‘politician’s perspective’.

Although I will wipe out Captain Giuseppe and leave immediately to perform other tasks when other support personnel come from the empire, I hope this advice will be helpful.

As if her intention had worked, Chloe slapped the back of the Duke sitting on the chair and brought his face closer and said,

“Your Majesty my beloved Highness. You shouldn’t hesitate. “Whether what Captain Jaeger says is right or wrong, this is the only path we can take.”

“Chloe, but killing your uncle.”

She reached out her hand and caressed the Duke’s cheek and spoke soothingly in a gentle voice.

“As long as I have your Majesty, I don’t need expensive food, fancy clothes, or a nice house. As long as I am with His Highness who took me in as an orphan, I will be happy even if I end up plowing the fields in a rural village. But, Your Highness.”

“huh.”

“It is impossible to live in a world without electric charges. So, please be prepared for me.”

Then she buried the duke’s face in her chest and stroked it gently like a young mother singing a lullaby.

… Laura and Anya are currently stationed in the area around Veneta, keeping the Milanese Allied Forces in check.

Once this matter is all sorted out, I’ll have to ask Charlotte to do it.

After a while, the Duke must have realized that he was embarrassed in front of me, and his face blushed all the way to his ears.

Then he shook his head and said, like a boy who got caught reading a pornographic book by his mother.

“Please pretend you didn’t see what you just saw. “Chloe has been with me since she was young, so she still tends to treat me like a child.”

On the continent of Europa, there is a trend in which anyone over the age of 15 is recognized as an adult, with the right to inherit a noble title, but an 11-year-old boy is considered a child.

No, on the contrary, if a young boy claims that he is an adult because he has the title of duke, it will have the effect of making him look cute even though he is young.

The other person is the monarch of a principality, so making fun of him would cause diplomatic problems…

Therefore, the pure love between a girl and a boy was a very nice sight for me, who is 35 years old and slowly approaching middle age, so I just kept it in my heart. I will only use it as a snack when drinking with His Majesty.

“Would it be possible? “Then I will ask you again: Are you prepared to have the blood of your uncle and Captain Giuseppe on your hands?”

Duke Philorence listened to me, took my hand, and then said:

“I can never be separated from Chloe, whom I love, and I must protect her. Of course we will fight.”

“great. Then, Your Majesty, please declare that a large banquet will be held once again to commemorate the victory. And please invite the Regent and Captain Giuseppe to the event. “On the spot, I will execute the Milanese faction’s henchmen and regent Andrea.”

“… If that happens, what happens after that?”

The eyes of a young boy and a slightly mature girl were fixed on my mouth.

“His Majesty the Reich Emperor supports your love. His Royal Highness will stand tall as the Duke of Philolence in name and reality, and Chloe will become a Duchess. And you will live happily ever after, as long as death does not separate you.”

The reason I do this is partly due to my personal feelings of wanting to support the young lover, but also to make the Duchy of Philollens a de facto protectorate of the Empire.

Not only is it more advantageous for the empire for the young duke to have no wife to rely on, but there is an impression that the imperial army has only continued to ‘invade’ so far.

This is to support the relationship between these two and show the entire Europa continent the good side of love coming true, like in the Cinderella story.

In the process, I will gain a reputation like Cupid of Love across the continent, but isn’t a good thing a good thing?

“I will trust only His Majesty of the Reich. “Let’s just take a step back.”

“Yes, Your Highness. And that’s it.”

“……?”

“I’m sorry to tell you, but in order for two people who are less than 20 years old and whose social statuses are quite different from each other to get together, they need to create a ‘fait accompli’ other than a beautiful love story. So please sleep in the same bed from now on. I have no doubt that you won’t be in a relationship, but that’s because that’s how rumors have to spread. Then have a nice night.”

After saying that, I immediately turned around and left the room.

I hope that Chloe and His Royal Highness will maintain a healthy relationship with at least a kiss until they turn 20, but I wanted to avoid the embarrassing scene of them saying things like that and continuing to face each other when it is not absolutely necessary.

The night feels hot today.

I’ll have to ask Charlotte to bring me a cold drink.

No, I’d like to ask you to cool down with your body.

Meanwhile, Regent Andrea and Captain Giuseppe were drinking tea together and talking.

“The Reich Imperial Army destroyed the Venetian Union, but don’t they have many other countries to worry about besides the Faroesian Union?”

“Yes, sir.”

“So, in the end, it is we Milan who will lead the Farosian Union in this place where the Venetian Union has disappeared… Wouldn’t it be good for you, Regent, to be friendly with us? Instead, in return, the regent takes over as duke.”

When Andrea heard those words, she could barely suppress the laughter rising inside her.

‘This idiot, Andrea, has already shown all kindness to Captain Jaeger, who is like the next enemy of the empire. And since it would be better to be kind, I promised to send one of my daughters. ‘I will send my twin sisters.’

However, in order to keep him in check, it was necessary to pretend to be as friendly as possible and reassure the harsh Philolens nobles who had become attached to Milan and Giuseppe of Milan.

“It’s good. Instead, you must accept our Maria as the Archduke’s wife. “I think it has to be that much to make a profit.”

“I will try my best.”

Captain Giuseppe was still deluded as to whether Andrea was on his side, and the regent was now spinning a pink delusion that Captain Jaeger was on his side.

So the two of them would never have even dreamed of it.

Peter Yeager and Duke Philolence are determined to kill them all.
