Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 222.2
Whenever Carla killed someone, she always made the other person do the killing and then took the position of the victim. Even if he had fought back too hard, Carla’s position would not have made it a crime, and the fear of Carla that had built up inside and made him even more afraid to do anything.
I did the same thing by opposing the underworld, but Carla did it in the noble society. It was only because of Carla’s character and power…
But what didn’t I understand was why he left the finishing blow to the Crown Prince and the Saint? When I said that, Elena nodded quietly.
“We were discussing that matter. Mikhail, please explain it to Aria.”
“I understand, Your Highness. But before that, Lady Aria… I’m glad you returned safely. It’s embarrassing, but there’s a big difference in our fighting power with you and without you.”
Mikhail said, smiling at me, and Rockwell, next to him nodded with a grumpy look on his face.
“Yes. I am painfully aware of my own inexperience, but at present, only you and Count Lester are capable of defeating the Greater Demon on your own. However, now that she has handed over the credit to those two, things have become a bit tricky.”
The plan to remove Ervan from the position of Crown Prince has been carried out mainly by Elena and the Melrose faction, with the approval of His Majesty the King. Many noble families support Elena, who is of pure blood from a high-ranking noble family, rather than Ervan, the son of a former Viscount’s daughter, and thanks to Elena’s efforts, some of the less radical noble faction and neutral faction have already sided with Elena.
However, this incident has raised the Crown Prince’s fame, and once again opportunistic noble families have begun to defend the Crown Prince. Not only that, but the name of the [Saint] who defeated the demon has also risen, and there are movements to make her the official wife, mainly from the King’s younger brother faction and the noble faction.
I don’t know much about the Saint, but Mikhail says she’s related to the Melrose family, and the opinions of the Melrose family, including the Prime Minister, are not unified.
“No, I’ll take care of Melrose. I don’t recognize her as a related party.”
“…”
Mikhail looks at me with concern for a moment, but he may have noticed.
“However, instead, the Dandol family, who had been taking a wait-and-see position, has sided with Elena’s faction. The Dandol family also thinks that if Clara does not become queen, they can peacefully break off the engagement.”
Rockwell told me after Mikhail.
It’s true that for the Dandol family, it’s meaningless unless it’s a blood relative like Clara or Elena. Peacefully means [bringing down the Crown Prince] so as not to hurt Clara.
The Dandol family’s actions resulted in the major factions in the north and south siding with Elena, but the existence of the [Saint] who caused this became a problem.
That was the premise, and Elena took the lead from there.
“…Clara’s position is not good, as she is rumored to be on bad terms with His Highness the Crown Prince. Normally, Dandol would still make her queen, but the one who became the first wife is His Highness the Crown Prince’s real mother, so we have to prepare for the worst.”
“Will that happen again this time?”
“If His Highness the Crown Prince wishes… it’s possible. But in that case, we have to prepare for the country to be in turmoil.”
At that moment, Elena’s eyes narrowed, and a dangerous light appeared. Mikhail nodded, and Rockwell closed his eyes with a sad look on his face, and I finally understood.
In the first place, Ervan had not grown as a Crown Prince, and he was devoted to the Viscount’s daughter, so Elena decided to abandon him and become queen herself.
If he becomes king without growing up and if the main wife becomes someone who is questionable as an aristocrat, the aristocrat faction will gain power, and other countries will be able to exploit him.

Before that happens, Elena’s eyes tell me that she will prepare a “poison cup” for him.
“…However, it is difficult for me to do that on my own. Father…I have spoken to His Majesty, and we are to decide by the time His Majesty graduates from the academy when he comes of age. Even if we persuade His Majesty by then, if we try to take action before then, His Majesty may side with His Majesty the Crown Prince.”
Saying this, Elena sighs, looking down.
