Chapter 657: Rebellion in Consenza

“A rebellion! It’s time for me to shine,” I said.

This is a rebellion by the duke of Consenza, so the scale should be quite big. And that means if I intervene, the fame of the living armor will be spread. And the cult will come out to hunt me.

It’s a good chance that I won’t miss. Or at least that’s what I planned.

“No, Roy. You won’t participate in fighting against the rebellion,” Lynn said.

“Huh? Why?!” I complained.

“Because this is my matter. The Empire’s problem. And you’re not even a citizen of the empire,” Lynn said.

And then, Claudia explained further.

.....

“Roy, you’re not a citizen of the empire. And this is a matter that the empire needs to take care without outside help. Not even Tatrama, Arturo, or Varadis will be allowed to help unless we asked for it. Just us. You can continue hunt for other smaller scale crimes, but rebellion is not for you,”Claudia explained.

It’s not just because I’m not a citizen. There are many other factors.

Why the duke started the rebellion? Why the duke targeting the Empress? Why at this time when everyone knows that we’re fighting the cult? What is it that they are dissatisfied with that lead to a rebellion? There are many questions. But those questions can only be answered if the Empress takes care of it without outsider’s help.

“Sigh... I guess I won’t participate then. Though if the cult has an active role in the rebellion, I will participate whether you want to or not. We have openly said that we’re fighting the cult. But those idiots started rebellion at this time. Which mean it’s highly likely that they are related to the cult,” I said.

“Sure. If that’s the case, we will ask not only for your help. But we will also ask for the others’ help as well. Though this is unlikely to be related to the cult,” Lynn said.

“Well, let’s hear more about this. She hasn’t said anything other than there’s a rebellion,” Celestine said.

Oh, right. We only heard that there’s a rebellion.

We asked the girl to tell us more about it.

So, the Duke has started a rebellion in a nearby city. Many members of aristocracy also joined him marching toward the capital.

For what reason are they rebelling?

Apparently, the Duke has been extremely disappointed by the Empress, Lynn. It’s because all of his effort to put her into a political marriage with him, who already has a son older than Lynn herself, failed. And it’s not just once. But many times.

Just how much does he wants to be an Emperor? What an annoying guy.

“So, because he keeps getting rejected, he asked you to marry his son instead. But you still reject him. And that ends up with him making up some lies to take the throne by force instead. Asking other nobles for help in spreading lies to the citizens that Lynn is doing a terrible job when in fact it’s all their fault. Like raising the taxes or making it harder for the people to live in their territory. They blamed it all on you. How stupid,” I said.

Although it’s stupid, it makes sense. I have never heard of any news of rebellion or coup from Consenza in my past life. Which could mean that the coup was successful seeing how there are too little cooperation between countries. And the new Emperor who doesn’t know about the cooperation with other countries ended up getting his empire taken by the cult before anything could happen.

Well, I’m not sure yet if that’s what happened. But it’s more likely to be that way.

And the duke, although he has terrible personality and obvious desire to be the emperor, he’s ruling his territory well. That’s why Lynn hasn’t purged him yet even after investigating him. Since she thought that he won’t cause any rebellion. But she ended up wrong.

“Well, the information about other countries from my past life was extremely limited. There’s not even TV broadcast or anything that can spread information quickly. Probably the kings received information from the agents, but those reports were not told to public. That’s why I never heard of any rebellion or coup at all.”

That’s what I said after Celestine asked me if I know something about the rebellion. Though in my past life, the strength of the mages in the army is much weaker than it is now since I and the others have helped with their improvement.

There are too many things that have affected the future. It’s no longer the same. We can’t count on my past life anymore.

There are many amazing people who haven’t even born today. Or maybe they have already born, but they’re still a baby. I don’t know.

Victoria didn’t exist back then. And Marie is mentally ill and died so she can’t invent more amazing inventions. Too many things changed.

Maybe there weren’t even any rebellion in the past. And I made it this way now.

But I don’t care. It’s the present that I need to take care of. Not my past life.

“Well, since there hasn’t been any information about the cult’s role in this rebellion, I will leave and take care of other things. If you need anything, just call me through Sonia. Though tomorrow or the day after, I will return to Tatrama for the circus. Hopefully you won’t need my help during the show. Then, I’ll be leaving now,” I said.

Instead of the window or the door, I walked to the bookshelf.

“Where are you going? The window is over there. And you can leave with your portal,” Lynn asked me.

“Through the hidden passage! See you!”

I’m having fun walking through the hidden passage with Airy. There’s no way I would miss it.

As for the rebellion, as Lynn said, she will take care of it. Though I think if the cult is related to the rebellion, she won’t tell me unless it’s really impossible for her to win. But the empire has Celestine. The strongest earth mage under master level. Even if the opponent is a master level mage, Celestine can kill her.

I’d like to find an earth spirit who will join us. That way, Celestine and the other earth mages can grow stronger faster. I hope we find one.

Oh, right. What about Albert? He said that there will be a meeting in a few days to discuss about spirits. But there’s a rebellion here.

Well, Claudia should have informed Albert about it. And if the meeting is delayed, Sonia will inform me. I can only wait.

And I need to inform Victoria to not do anything to the rebellion yet. I did that while we’re walking in the hidden passage.

The exit of the passage is in the basement of an inn. It’s probably an inn owned by an agent or something.

Well, I won’t come up to the inn and tell the owner that I came from the castle. I just used a portal here and leave the capital.

The capital is busy with the rebellion, so it’s best to take care of the small things away from it.

“Well, let’s go then. We don’t really have any destination. Just us looking for enemies randomly. Airy, which way do you want to go?” I asked Airy after we used a portal to leave the capital.

“To the cake shop!” Airy shouted excitedly.

“You still want to eat more? What if you actually ended up being fat? Rejected. Let’s just walk around randomly,” I said.

Then I activated the magic item and wear the armor. Living armor is back in action!

Hmm? Is that the rebels? I guess we ended up transporting to somewhere close to where the rebels are. Let’s watch them for a bit and see if there are any cult members hiding among the rebels or not.

Well, probably there are some. But the rebellion might not be instigated by the cult and those cult members only joining the rebellion for personal reason.

So, even if I see any members of the cult among the rebels, I won’t do anything until Lynn asked for my help.

From what I can see, there’s no cult members or master level mages among the rebels. I guess Consenza won’t ask for any help anytime soon so I left after watching the rebels for a bit longer.

And since I’m a living armor now, it’s best to not kill any monsters I find. I need to make my move where other people can see, so probably in a city or a village.

I run in the forest and after a while, I can see a village. And when I was about to look if there’s any wanted individuals by comparing them to the wanted posters I received from Claudia, Sonia suddenly appears in front of me.

“What is it, Sonia?” I asked.

“Because of the rebellion, the meeting will be delayed. It will be delayed until the rebellion is over, or there’s an even more important matter that need to be taken care of,” Sonia said.

“And do you think there’s an even more important matter than a rebellion? Just how calm are they? The are also leaders of their own country,” I sighed hearing how calm they are.

“Well, it’s just a rebellion not related to the cult. Probably, Celestine alone can take care of everything. That’s what Albert said.”

Well, I hope Lynn can take care of the rebellion sooner. I don’t like it when innocent people become victims. I hope the stupid rebels will all die. Or at least captured. Let’s just believe in Lynn and Celestine.

And so, I acted as the living armor and helped many people for the rest of the day. There’s nothing worth mentioning during this time.
