Survival Strategy for Weak Territories! ~ My Territory Will Be Destroyed No Matter How Many Times It Is Repeated. How Can This Be Saved? ~

se that was responsible for Klein being stuck in these ridiculous loops.

The family that can be said to be the source of all his suffering.

“I would like to express my honest thoughts but…….before that, can we have some privacy?”

“Privacy, huh.”

Of course, he has qualms with the Laguna house.

Moreover, it’s clear that the First Prince has his own opinions about them as well.

However, since Klein knows that he would be killed if he gives his answer immediately, he insists on being cautious.

“Yes.
I think that the people here are the knights and maids that are loyal to Your Highness but—-you can never be too careful after all.”

“Right.
Better safe than sorry.”

The First Prince gives a signal with his eyes and all but the smiling knight left the room.

’

She’s Klein’s natural enemy.

She’s the person that Klein wants out of the room the most but now he’s ready to answer the prince.

Thinking so, Klein starts speaking ill of the Laguna house again.

“Even with its prestigious reputation, I think that the Laguna house’s ambition is too transparent.
Even I who is not familiar with the circumstances of the Royal Capital could tell that House Laguna is planning something.
However, when things are so simple like this, it makes me anxious about the future.”

“Hou, what made you so anxious then?”

Looking back on his past conversation with the prince, this kind of reply should still be safe.

If he doesn’t show any carelessness then the prince will surely offer to help him.

Thinking so, Klein decides to continue.

“The Marquis himself did not do anything to prevent the poisoning and took advantage of the turmoil to expand his influence.
Besides, It’s quite easy to see which house benefited the most from the incident.”

“…….Hm, you have a good head on those shoulders.
I guess I can think of you as a well-rounded man.”

He was able to say what he wanted and get recognized by the First Prince.

Thinking that he has completed all the missions he set out to do, Klein enjoyed his tea in satisfaction.

On the other hand, the First Prince looked as though he’s pondering something before he opened his mouth again.

“So, what do you think Marquis Laguna will do in the future?”

This time, instead of having his knight kill Klein immediately, he posted another question.

“I believe that their ambition will not stop at this.
Using underhand means……I think that he will pull the strings so that it will lead to a second and even a third incident like this one.
His next target, I highly believe, will be the east.”

“Good guesswork.
I think that your view is probably correct.”

A short time passed with nothing happening.

Eventually, the prince quietly placed his cup back on the saucer and casually said,

“Klein von Asgard.
I have been waiting for a man like you.”

’

Hearing those words, Klein tried his best not to immediately spring up into a guts pose.

He managed to maintain his poker face for now.

“Fufu.
Most people around me haven’t turned their eyes to the future.
With Your Highness keeping your watchful eyes in the capital, even someone lowly like me can rest assured.”

However, unable to endure his loosening cheeks, Klein decided to smile.

On the other hand, the prince has a bitter expression on his face.

“Don’t try to flatter me.
My father hasn’t done anything against Marquis Laguna’s plot at all.
As each day passed, more and more people who are loyal to the country kept disappearing.
You can see the sorry state we are in now.”

The prince, who’s at his wit’s end on how to stop the Marquis, sips his tea with a frown.

The smiling knight on the other hand still has a gentle smile on her face.

“From now on, things will only get more complicated.
You might even get targeted by the Laguna house.
If you want out now then it’s time to do so you know? ……..You seem like a useful person.
If it’s now, I don’t mind letting you go if you stay neutral.”

Hearing that, Klein wants to say [Yes, neutral please], but he doesn’t think that the prince will really let him go.

That’s why he has no choice but to go all in.

“No, if we leave the Laguna house alone, they will eventually bring ruin to all of us.
I think that there is no better time to come up with countermeasures than this.”

Their conversation paused a little there.

This time he didn’t feel any murderous intent nor a strange presence approaching him.

“……there’s no stopping that mouth of yours huh.
Well, whatever.”

Despite the prince’s abusive language, Klein can see a small smile at the corner of his mouth.

It appears that he’s in a good mood, Klein thought.

After overcoming the great turning point, Klein was glad that he managed to move on.

TLN: He survived!!!
