Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2)
‘So it’s that man again.’
That frontier noble, whose career had been smoothed after making a great contribution in the capture of a six-star confusion mage, did not seem to have much desire either to accumulate merit or to cling to power.
However, the fact that he had once again appeared on the stage of an unprecedented incident such as the emergence of a six-star necromancer could hardly be considered a mere coincidence.
When Princess Roselin received the report and personally went out to the site, she had already been informed that Dereck was at one end of the camp and had received the full battlefield report firsthand.

The upheaval caused by the necromancer, centered on the County of Elvester in the east, seemed far greater than what the reports indicated.
For the imperial palace, which was already in the midst of debating how Marilyn should be handled, this was a double blow.
‘Be that as it may, every time something serious happens, inside or outside the Empire, he always ends up being there.’
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
As the future leader of the Empire, she had to be capable of judging any crisis situation rationally.
With that single thought in mind, Princess Roselin stepped into the makeshift camps.
‘At times like this, one must remain calm.’
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
His expression showed clear surprise, as if he had never imagined that an imperial princess would personally come to the front lines. agent For Roselin, however, it was nothing unusual.
The vice-commander of the Imperial Knights, Lutein, knelt before the camp and offered a flawless salute.
“I pay my respects to Her Highness Princess Roselin.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“Oh?”
With a rank like Lutein’s, it was only natural that he would dare to express sincere opinions even before a member of the imperial family.
“What? admire Does it trouble you that I have come this far?”
“If I am to speak frankly, yes.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes. silence Your advice, born of loyalty, is worthy of praise, but there is something you do not understand.”
“Now that His Majesty Emperor Gatrell has passed away, Your Highness, you are the very future of the Gremport Palace. attic If anything were to happen to your precious person, the future of the Empire would waver. atlas It would have been enough to issue the subjugation order from the audience chamber. arcade Especially in the face of an anomaly of this magnitude, the proper course would have been to remain in the safest place possible.”
In Princess Roselin’s case, it was both at once.
Some would consider it insolent; others would see it as a virtue.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
It seemed that the subjugation force had already attempted to break through toward the Count of Elvester’s mansion a couple of times.
Injured soldiers could be seen here and there, and many had also lost morale.
“…”
Princess Roselin exhaled deeply and, with her arms crossed, surveyed the camp.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
The fact that the front remained in that state was already, considering the suddenness of the disaster, quite an effective containment. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
However, what truly unsettled Princess Roselin was another matter—the scholars of the pro-magic faction camped on the outskirts of the camp.
Had it not been for Melverot’s swift initial response, the situation might have spiraled completely out of control.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
The problem was that the greater Kohella’s merit, the more Roselin’s authority within the Gremport Palace would be eroded.
The academics and magical advisors whom Kohella had personally brought were undoubtedly of great help on the battlefield.
President Damon, leader of the pro-nobility faction, would not even approach a place so dangerous.

Only someone with Princess Roselin’s resolve could afford to come to the front line and show concern for the Empire’s future.
Even if the world were to end tomorrow, the struggle for power would persist.
Although the crisis had arisen suddenly, the power struggles among the imperial elites continued even amid all this.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
It was part of human nature.
After reflecting thus, Roselin shook her head slightly.
Firm officers like Commander Lutein could perform their duties precisely because they paid no attention to those internal palace disputes.
Even if the momentum of the pro-magic bureaucrats, led by Kohella, grew stronger, that had nothing to do with the soldiers fighting day and night at the front.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“No, it is fine. silence I appreciate your concern. admire But the situation at the front is far too urgent for me to sit alone in the audience chamber, pacing in circles without doing anything.”
“Your Highness…”
There was no need to sigh before such loyal servants, concerned solely with protecting the Empire.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“There is no need to worry about that. meadow I have heard that the man from House Ravenclaw is also here.”
“A couple of times…? arch That sounds as though he did not succeed in a single attempt.”
“Yes. adjust When the stationed forces arrived, he had already attempted to enter the count’s mansion a couple of times.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“Following the entry route prepared by Lord Melverot, they attempted to advance twice from there and once through the main gate. airport The first attempt was halted by the legion of corpses and the archlich’s defense. admire In the others, more than half of the forces were swept away by the bone dragon guarding the tower.”
Lutein, his short blond hair covered by a large helmet, straightened himself while leaning on his spear and continued.
“That is correct…” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

“Dejected?”
“Yes. shadow Even so… it seems it was not enough. athlete Sir Ravenclaw was also gravely wounded, with a deep gash in his shoulder and a direct hit from four-star magic… His companions have likewise withdrawn once and are resting in the camp. apple They appear very dejected.”
“I was under the impression that Melverot had inflicted critical wounds upon it.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Princess Roselin once again recalled the figure of the man named Dereck.
That man, who once he set a goal achieved it unfailingly, like a perfectly calibrated machine—it was difficult to imagine him discouraged.
And yet, the battlefield was of that magnitude.
Could something like dejection even exist in someone who always carried out his duty with an impassive expression?
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Defeat could bow the head of even a man of steel resolve.
No matter how steadfast Dereck was, perhaps he too felt intimidated.
Corpses moving everywhere like an army; a scene that, even viewed from afar, seemed like the end of the world and made one swallow involuntarily.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
To reprimand one who fails in their duty, but also to know how to console when someone fails despite having given their utmost.
That was, in essence, the duty of a superior.
It did not seem that Dereck had retreated due to a reckless decision in such a critical situation.
“I suppose on a battlefield like this, that is the least I can do.”

“…”
If that was the case, it was only natural to think she should go in person and offer him words of encouragement.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Not only Princess Roselin, but all those who had ever learned magic from him, could not help but feel curious.
How would a man before whom even steel must yield, Dereck Lydorf Ravenclaw, behave when he was dejected?
“Cough… cough… agh…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
There he was, sitting on a wooden crate, bandages wrapped around his shoulder and thigh, stuffing roasted meat, potatoes, and bacon with eggs into his mouth.
That scene looked less like someone enjoying a feast and more like someone forcing energy into his body.
Thus, as she headed toward Dereck’s tent—
What made Princess Roselin’s eyes widen was the fact that she felt it was the first time she had ever seen Dereck eat.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“…You were eating?” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
So this man eats as well.
Even after retreating, Dereck seemed completely indifferent, preparing his body for the next offensive.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Normally, with the mere presence of an imperial princess, all the workers in the area would have stopped their tasks and bowed immediately.
“Princess Roselin? anchor That you have come all the way here…”
“It is fine. galaxy Continue.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
It was not that he was completely detached from the notion of refinement, but neither was he someone who, in a frontline situation, would behave like a novice noble concerned with table manners.
However, Roselin did not even feel the urge to demand imperial protocol from Dereck. aspect To that extent, his scene during the meal was extraordinary.
One would imagine him eating with more elegance, cutting the meat with knife and fork, but thinking about it carefully, that man came from the very bottom of the slums.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Roselin sat at the opposite end of the dust-filled tent and silently observed Dereck.
“Did you fail in your attempt to enter Count Elvester’s castle?”
In fact, that practical attitude was even more pleasing to Princess Roselin.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“No… it’s fine… eat in peace…”
Roselin had gone with the intention of consoling Dereck, but the one who ended up at a loss for words was her.
“Yes. agent Of course, it was not easy at all to clear in a single sweep the creatures created by a rank 6-star necromancer. accent Uggh… ah… excuse me…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
As she listened to his explanation, Princess Roselin’s expression gradually changed.
Biting into a potato with a crunch, his eyes narrowing into crescent shapes, Dereck continued speaking.
“…I received the report from my aides, but I need to hear it once more directly from you.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
That figure seemed to be directing the army like a commander-in-chief.
The most shocking sight was the corpse of the border count of Elvester himself standing atop the wall, with a pale face and an unfocused, reasonless gaze.
Taking advantage of the moment when Fina, the enemy leader, had not yet fully recovered, they entered through the collapsed palace wall, but were forced to retreat by the army of corpses that was already reorganizing its ranks.
First attempt to storm the Count’s castle.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
They lined up along the wall to roll down rocks or formed ambushes by concentrating at access points before launching attacks—although the individual intelligence of each creature seemed low, as a whole they began to move systematically.
With a border count possessing extensive military knowledge now part of the enemy ranks, the movements of the corpse army became far more organic and tactical.

Seeing that further advance was impossible, Dereck gave the order to retreat.
The camp troops who entered alongside Dereck fled in panic.
Moreover, they did not fear death, and some even began using basic magic—they were, without exaggeration, a terrifying enemy.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“The border count of Elvester… was personally directing them?”
“No. canvas The situation worsened because Happy… no, the Archlich stepped forward and blocked the retreat route.”
“Then… in the second attempt, was it also the count who stopped you?”
“Yes. aspect I clearly saw him standing outside the collapsed wall, his face pale and his gaze unfocused, watching the corpses.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Princess Roselin glanced at Dereck’s shoulder and frowned.
“In the third attempt, we feigned entering again through the collapsed wall while planning to break through the main gate. avalanche Then the bone dragon atop the tower launched itself at us. alpha After that… I suppose you can imagine the rest.”
Dereck personally advanced, severed one of Archlich Happy’s arms—Fina’s favorite creature—and managed to secure an escape route, but still received a wound to his shoulder.
Had it not been for Kalimford’s assistance, the situation would have been much worse.

“…A general, an Archlich, and even a bone dragon…” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“It sounds as though they are protecting a queen.”
“In reality, their queen was gravely wounded and recovering, so their reaction was even more violent.”
Tension was evident on Roselin’s face, but she soon let out a sigh and spoke in a playful tone, as if trying to ease the atmosphere.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Roselin crossed her arms and joked.
“That is unlikely to happen.”
“I too am destined to become a queen after my coronation. timber If we were to meet, perhaps we might understand each other rather well.”
“I see. action They said the enemy leader looks like a pale girl… if that’s the case, it turns out we have quite a few things in common, don’t you think?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“Eh?”
Roselin cast a sidelong glance at the tents where the advisors of the magic faction were gathered and, drawing closer to Dereck, lowered her voice.
“No. arrow One never knows.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“If we combine everything you have seen with what I have received from other reports—wouldn’t everything be resolved by cutting off the head of the queen deep within the castle?”
“Then that is all. antenna The Empire’s army is immense. amateur We simply have not been able to breach the wall because the access points are limited, just as you said.”
“Yes. zenith It should be so. armor The problem is breaking through to reach her.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
It was evident that she herself felt at the center of the battlefield.
“In that case, it is enough to infiltrate someone and open all the gates from within.”
“…You mean infiltrate someone among the army of corpses?”
Roselin’s manner of speaking differed from that of bureaucrats who merely issued orders from the rear.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“Why not? aspect If we attack from all flanks and enter the interior of the palace, chaos will be inevitable. amber In the midst of that disorder, anyone could reach the palace’s core and capture the queen.”
“That will not be as simple as it sounds.”

“It is clear that surveillance around the wall is strict. athlete Even if the queen is recovering, the border count of Elvester had great mastery of detection magic.”
“Exactly.”
“Because of the detection magic they use?”
As if she had already anticipated the objection, Roselin spoke with a confident smile.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Dereck stopped chewing and looked steadily at Roselin. meadow He understood perfectly what she was implying.
Instead of reacting, he silently shook his head.
“Then there is no choice but to send someone who cannot be detected by that type of magic.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“…”
“Of course. palette Not only you—the bureaucrats of the imperial faction and the officers at the front would do everything possible to stop me. palette But even so, with you I feel there is room for negotiation.”
“I suppose you expected me to oppose it.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Roselin let her reddish-black hair fall, stood up, and approached Dereck.
Roselin was, in essence, the heart of the Empire.
“It is an infiltration mission, so the fewer people, the better. armor Could you escort me to the exterior of the wall?”
That man who could meet her gaze without hesitation, even before an imperial princess, would undoubtedly, in one way or another, become one of the Empire’s greatest assets.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“Under the heavens, only one queen can exist.”
And if she could not trust the one standing on the front line of the battlefield, whom else could she trust? Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Certainly, far more than the bureaucrats of the noble faction hiding in the Gremport Palace while all this unfolded, she trusted someone like him.
Roselin held Dereck’s gaze and, gently closing her eyes, smiled.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
“…”
What was right and what was wrong?
“If you serve me, I will also gladly grant you all my trust and respect.”
Dereck’s gaze wandered briefly into the void.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
In a situation where people were dying every moment, judging swiftly was far from simple.
“It would be best if Your Highness also finishes eating.”
At last, he set the plate down on the table and spoke.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
Laughing aloud, Roselin stood up.
“What a lamentable tragedy.”
“Unfortunately, food on the battlefield tends to be greasy, rough, and devoid of any refinement.”
“Oh?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 206: Regicide of the Queen (2) by Indra Translations.
She bit into a potato and began chewing energetically, giving the impression more of a common woman than of an imperial princess.
