Chapter 316.2. The Day Of The Downfall Begins

“I awakened mama and papa’s mana! Shisho, is this okay?”

“Indeed, well, it’s fine. If it’s just needless worry, all the better.”

“Mii-chan know it! The sky won’t fall!”

Mii-chan beamed with her ice-blue eyes, delighted to be praised. You know what “needless worry” means, right?

“This duel between the two families may be altered by the fall of the Floating Castle. The duel will still take place, but the Emperor intends to head to the scene of the fall.”

“Indeed, this is a significant event. It’s only natural, Great Arch Mage.”

Papa nodded with a sense of gravitas, and Mii-chan agreed. Staying here would seriously harm our reputation.

“That’s right. Because of this, the actions of Kanna Dukedom have become frantic. They seem to be hastily gathering their family members for the duel, even though there’s still time for it.”

With Grandpa Odin, who can even crack machines, and Frigg-oneesan, who has a network of informants, the information should be accurate.

Hmm, I see...

“Aren’t they planning to perform well at the scene of the Floating Castle’s fall? They also need to search for remnants of Nidhogg.”

It’s a golden opportunity for the recently struggling Kanna Dukedom to make achievements.

However, Grandpa Odin’s one-eyed eye glinted as he delivered his message in a strangely echoing voice despite not speaking very loudly.

“It’s a way of saying it’s not going as well as expected for a deer hunt.”

“A deer hunt?”

Papa and the others looked confused, not understanding what he meant.

But Mii-chan’s face contorted in realization.

Mii-chan expression is one of surprise.

What will Shin do? Join this coup? Hmm, that doesn’t seem very protagonist-like.

So, how about opposing the coup? Get caught? Exiled? Depending on whether the coup succeeds or fails...

I have a bad feeling. I might have become a bit complacent.

Duke Kanna always has an ace up his sleeve, and this might be more than just a simple coup.

Pretending to think, I communicated with Grandpa Odin via thought.

[Odin, do you think our enemy can alter the thread of fate?]

[What do you mean?]

[I mean, maybe the cast has been changed.]

[Hm? How has the cast changed> I see, so there’s that possibility. In that case, it will be revealed through the coup’s righteousness.]

Yeah, Odin understood. We might have fallen into their trap.

“Young lady Miu! Thought communication is being jammed. Other communication devices are also not working! And there’s a military deployment around the inn!”

Ranko-san, who had returned to the room hurriedly, reported loudly. Wow, they’re acting fast.

“Okay, let’s prepare for defense. And what about the military?”

“Well...”

Ranko-san hesitated to speak, but soon, a loudspeaker outside the window made an announcement.

“Countes Takano! You are under arrest for conspiracy with terrorists and for profiting from self-made actions through a backroom deal with His Majesty the Emperor! Immediately disarm and come outside!”

I thought so. I knew it.

Mii-chan won’t lie! Even if she can’t use her God power, she won’t lose!

I won’t lose to false accusations!
