The Villainess That Was Once A VRMMO player-Chapter 89.3
Therefore, his father, hoping to somehow seize the weakness of Caenista and the Empress in this independence frenzy, decided to use Skelly as a pawn who was talented but could not be given the right of succession, and who would be willing to disappear if necessary.
(If it were that easy to seize her weakness, there would be no trouble…)
Despite his outward flamboyant appearance, Skelly logically considered what would be in the best interest of his country.
The crops were growing so well that it was hard to believe that the land had once been dead, but until that harvest could be made, the territory could not stand without support from the state.
Still, it would be ambitious for the Count of Alta to want to take advantage of the chaos and become independent.
If that were the case, why not go ahead and create a weakness itself, instead of looking for one?
By hinting at the idea, they would stir up impatience, and the courage of the Alta Frontier Count would cause him to revolt.

Caenista’s Royal Capital’s strength was drastically reduced due to the war with the daemon army, and the surrounding territories could not send out many soldiers.
The Demon Army, which was the best hope, would take time to move from afar, and it was doubtful that they would send troops to a domestic rebellion, since the alliance was formed to keep an eye on neighboring countries in the first place.
If the country’s allies, who were also its military allies, were to send out their troops to suppress the rebellion and effectively rule the country under the guise of maintaining security, they would be able to seize this territory.
He was told that the empress of this country was an excellent and ruthless person, but no matter how excellent she was, she was only a young girl who had just come of age. The lack of strength could not be filled by personal qualities.
It would not be easy, but his father could harass her as he wished, and as a result she might have to give him back some of her lands, if the negotiations went well, they could get a lot of money to pay for the dispatch of the army, and the country would be able to show its gratitude to the King.
(For now, let’s work with that policy…)
Skelly, as royalty, received discretionary authority in this matter. The reason was that there was not enough time to ask the authorities, and Skelly was in a position to be cut off immediately if he made a mistake.
For such a case, the King sent Skelly, who was born to a maid from a low-class noble family, to be welcomed as a member of the royal family.
However, Skelly could not understand the situation because of his rational thoughts.
The majority of the Demon Lord’s army was the power of only one [Demon Lord]. The empress of this country was the only [monster] that the Demon Lord recognized.
The policy was decided, but Skelly could not go in and agitate the Count of Alta directly. There was probably a hardliner under the Count of Alta who insisted on independence, and he thought it would be quicker to move that person.
However, even though he was posing as an adventurer, it would look very suspicious if a single adventurer was moving around a military facility or a place where nobles were present.
It was natural for an adventurer to be accompanied by someone to avoid suspicion, and it would be easy to ask that [grass] merchant, but he had spent a long time trying to integrate into the country, and had even established a family here. Skelly was not comfortable risking that.
So what would he do–
“…oh.”
At that moment, Skelly’s vision caught sight of a red-haired girl who appeared to be the daughter of a wealthy merchant and her companion, a light-haired girl, and he grinned a little wickedly and chuckled.
“I’m going to need some help from those two young ladies.”
