Looking at the person in front of me, I fell into deep thought.

...

This guy is the prince? Are you sure he's not the sister of the princess or something?

Other than the fact that he's dressed like a man and has the title of a prince, he looks exactly like the princess! Could he be another one of those Hill-like beings?

No, that can't be. Hill is already a really strange guy. If another one appears, I'll suspect that this world has been invaded by Lucifer to harvest souls.

No, wait. Lucifer did invade, but he's not here to harvest souls.

I glanced at Dale. This guy just looked up at the ceiling. What does that mean? Even if we can't communicate properly, he shouldn't avoid my gaze by using his special skill of looking at the scenery.

Alright, let's get back to the topic.

"Well, Your Royal Highness, I believe you already know our purpose. I also know what you need, so, before we proceed to the next step, I want to know if you have any other plans that we need to be aware of?"

"Yeah. Indeed, if our plans conflict, there will be severe consequences."

The prince nodded and picked up the cup of red tea on the table and took a sip.

"It's simple. Three days from now, I will have the other half of the knights of the Knights Order, who are under the control of the king, detain the king. Then, I will gather with the other half of the palace mages from the princess's side and launch an attack on the palace, kill the king, and hide the body. We will then announce to the outside world that the king died suddenly."

"I see, alright, I understand. I will avoid interfering with your actions to resolve the problem."

"I see, that's fine as long as you don't hinder my plans."

After saying that, he went back to drinking his tea.

Is this guy really okay being so leisurely?

"Then we shall go."

Of course, we didn't leave through the front door. This meant that we all had to leave through the window.

Soon, we were back at the tea house.

"Alright, here's the plan."

Back at the tea house, I checked the time and quickly spoke.

"Tonight, you guys find a place to settle down first. Ms. Mary, find a way to inform Yabber that there is a necromancer in Chelfa Kingdom and ask her to bring people over. Then, I will go back to the inn and pretend like nothing happened. Tomorrow morning, Oyado and I will go report to the king to reassure him."

"Master! Why am I not included?"

Pure White anxiously asked.

"Because our combination with you and Oyado has already been noticed by some people. If they connect that to us, we'll be in trouble."

"Aww... too bad."

Seeing Pure White's disappointed expression, I patted her head.

"Well~ once we rescue Yaling, we won't have to hide so much, so don't be sad."

"Yeah!"

Then, I looked towards the others.

"Does anyone have any additional input for this plan?"

"No~"

Aliyah shrugged.

"I may not know what you're planning, but in the end, I know this country is screwed."

"It's just the king that's screwed, so don't worry about it."

I nodded contentedly.

"Well then, I'll head back first. Let's proceed according to the plan."

"Alright, alright. Let's go have some late-night snacks."

Aliyah said happily.

Seriously, I'm hungry too. Is this fair?
