Alice got an answer to her confusion after listening to Luna's report. Just as she surmised, Etoria did not have any motives to betray his kingdom or the human realm. Even now, he still believed that his succession to the throne was secure, so he naturally wouldn't need others to help him become king.

This must mean that Etoria wasn't the person who contacted the demon spy in the Royal Magic Tower, but someone who was trying to create trouble using Etoria's name instead.

However, another question cropped up after Alice came to this realization. Wasn't it a little too silly to try and create trouble using Etoria's name?

Even if the demons agreed to the request, once they began their partnership with Etoria, they would quickly realize that Etoria's succession wasn't under any threat whatsoever. They would also discover that Etoria was utterly ignorant of "his" partnership with them.

In that case, the demons would quickly realize that Etoria wasn't the person who sought partnership with them and that they had been tricked. Meanwhile, unless the demons got blinded by their rage of being played for fools and took their anger out on Etoria, it was unlikely for Etoria to suffer any damage.

There was also no way the mastermind behind this scheme would dare reveal themselves to smear Etoria's reputation using this scheme as an excuse. So long as this mastermind did such a thing, the demons would immediately know who had tricked them. At that time, the mastermind would definitely suffer the wrath of the demons.

Even if the mastermind was simply doing all of this to mess with the demons, they shouldn't have chosen to use Etoria's name as their cover. Instead, they should've used the eldest prince or the princess. In the former's case, he had long since given up on his succession rights, and even the Rhine King had given up on getting his eldest son to succeed him already. In the latter's case, she hardly had any presence in the Rhine Kingdom's succession rights.

While it was still unlikely for the eldest prince and the prince

Novel Notes

PHA is going on a hiatus until January 1st, 2023. It's becoming increasingly stressful to translate PHA due to all the unneccessarily elaborate yet unimportant contexts, so I've decided to take a break from PHA and have a go at it again next year.
