『 “Brother! Help me! Please!”
“You want help again?”
“I just need a little bit of help, and then I think I can win her heart.”
“Haha, there’s really no stopping my little brother! Alright, alright, I understand!” 』
Looking only at the dialogue, it was an incredibly ordinary exchange.
but the reality was
“What do you mean you understand, you crazy bastard!”
It was the psychotic act of allowing a deranged younger brother, completely smitten with a woman, to sell off the country’s resources.
This is the Great Empire Bellos.
It is a vast Territory occupying the Northern and Eastern Regions of the Land Continent.
It possessed immense national power and massive underground resources that came from it.
And it even had the Ancient Ruins where Artifacts popped out whenever they felt like it.
“If we compare it to Earth… it’s like having infinite oil while… also being strong? Should I say it feels like a combination of Saudi Arabia and the US…”
The Territory was large, and the resources were abundant.
The dangerous monsters living in the Northern Region were also nothing more than Rare Resources in the face of the Great Empire’s national power.
But this Empire gradually declined and weakened as the novel progressed.
Why? This was because the stupid Second Prince fell in love with the Princess of the Western Kingdom, the Maselin Kingdom, and gave her everything.
He just genuinely gave everything away.
You don’t have resources? I’ll support you.
Lacking national power? I’ll lend it to you.
Going to war? I’ll join you.
Besides this, provisions ranged from Human resources to food support and so on.
This one crazy bastard was so deeply in love that he lived with the momentum of just handing over the Empire.
“No, if he fell in love, he should use his own power… just go into exile and play around. Why is he making a fuss giving away everything in the country when it’s not even his?”
Actually, if only the Second Prince were stupid, this kind of thing would be impossible.
Being stupid was a sin, but he wasn’t the decision-maker who could make all those stupid decisions.
In that sense, this was the thing I disliked the most.
“The First Prince, this crazy son of a bitch.”
The psychotic older brother who listened to all of his stupid younger brother’s demands.
The First Prince, Bellon Bellos.
The legitimate Crown Prince was the next successor to the Throne, whom no one disputed.
Handsome, with outstanding martial prowess, blah blah blah, he had a lot of modifiers attached to him.
Simply put, one sentence came out.
“This bastard just likes his younger siblings.”
What kind of sin did the Emperor commit for his upbringing to fail so completely?
Thanks to his giving birth to a bunch of kind but incompetent offspring, the Empire was ruined at an incredibly fast pace.
Starting from the Second Prince’s deranged demands.
To the First Princess’s whining and so on.
The younger siblings below were all crazy about love, blindly shitting all over the place.
Yet the so-called eldest son just laughed heartily and granted all those demands.
The result, of course, was just the Empire slowly going to ruin as I mentioned earlier.
The mighty military power weakened by being given away to surrounding nations, from resources to various Artifacts.
In a situation where even monopolizing wouldn’t be enough, he was just going, 'I’m quitting this life, dropping all my items.'
They said a rich Family would last three generations even if they failed, but he just completely ruined it before three generations could pass.
But here another problem arose.
“The core of this novel isn”t the Bellos Empire.'
So what should I call the Bellos Empire?
“Just the position of the neighborhood”s foolish rich older brother?'
Because the Protagonist had to start off weak to easily draw out the word Count and show the flavor of growing step by step.
They made the Protagonist a Princess of a Minor Kingdom, and then developed the story in a way where the surroundings gave her everything.
And here, the most infuriating sentence appeared.
『 “The Bellos Empire… must have felt burdened all this time because it was too mighty.”
“R-right.”
“Now that it has shared that power… and everyone has become equal, the burden will be lighter. How is it? Isn’t it comfortable?”
“Yeah!” 』
The words she said after sucking out all the sweet juice weren’t “thank you”.
She was spouting nonsense like, “I purposely reduced your Empire for you, because I was worried you”d feel burdened by being so big.'
“Ugh! Ack! Eek!”
It was a remark that couldn’t help but make me angry.
This was despite it being a Minor Kingdom that would disappear if they just made up their minds to start a Conquest War right now.
It was infuriating to talk about the “normalization of the Empire” just because she was the Protagonist of a Romance Fantasy Novel.
The Second Prince even cried after hearing this.
“Why on earth?”
He was a truly crazy bastard.
『 “Right, I felt burdened all this time… It feels like the burden of being a Prince has really decreased, ahh… Maybe the princely life itself just wasn’t right for me?” 』
He even went a step further and spat out those kinds of words.
Cra-zy bas-tard.
“What kind of… what kind of Prince life did you even live?”
Despite throwing away all the duties he should have as a Prince, settling down in a Minor Kingdom, and giving away this and that.
He was a guy who didn’t even know what it meant for the Second Prince of the Empire to be inside another country’s palace.
“A flower field for a brain that doesn”t even think about how it could be taken as a hostage, a captive…'
I got angry every time I read it.
But if you asked me why I read it, I couldn’t say.
“Just somehow…”
I had nothing to do.
It happened to be heavily advertised as a new release.
I had a lot of free time, so I just read it.
By the time I came to my senses, I had already read a certain amount of the content, and now I was criticizing it.
“But what on earth is the Emperor doing?”
In the process of the Empire being dismantled in real time, there was no mention of the Emperor whatsoever.
Even though the Emperor was practically the one running the state affairs, the First Prince was entirely the one indulging all the pushover acts.
How could the final decision-maker be a Prince and not the Emperor?
I was curious about that part, so I searched hard through the comments to see if there was any related mention.
- The Emperor going missing and the First Prince doing a Regency is so good ㅠㅠ
- What’s up with the First Prince really caring for his younger brother ㅠㅠㅠ
- Just giving away the country for love lololol A true obsessive love interest
- Brotherly love is country love;;; Later when a nephew is born he might really just go and inherit the Empire!
There wasn’t much of that.
That was just it.
It didn’t really seem to explain why the Emperor went missing.
Just that, judging by the atmosphere, he didn’t disappear for a negative reason.
I could have read more, but I stopped because it was a waste of money.
Should I say I couldn’t read it anymore because the setting was too stupid?
“There are too many settings, too.”
Was it because the Protagonist was a Princess of a Minor Nation?
To cover up this weak background, the Protagonist’s abilities were too good.
Moreover, the setting was that a 21st-century Republic of Korea woman who knew the original work of 'Jupeobae' had transmigrated.
She utilized modern knowledge to start various businesses and even achieved legendary success.
It basically meant that everything she touched turned into a massive hit.
“Like, if she grabs a sword she beats a Knight… blah blah blah.”
The only penalties included were stamina and situational judgment.
And she somehow covered all of this using Artifacts or the power of Spirits.
“Well, I won”t be seeing it anymore anyway.'
Whatever.
Honestly, there was no point in getting angry.
It was a novel I had finished reading, and well, I could just read something else now.
“I should practice falling asleep while reading a novel again today.”
It was fun. Oh, <I’m Full Because They Give Me Too Much>.
It was a novel I only read because I was briefly bored. Goodbye now.
“I should just jerk off and go to sleep.”
++++++
“No, to think the Maselin Kingdom is being threatened! Shouldn’t we help them immediately?”
“…Th-that is, Prince Bedin, Your Highness… that is not a matter that can be decided so easily.”
“What do you mean it’s not? What is the problem with helping our neighboring Kingdom? Maselin is even a weak country!”
“I, I simply cannot understand why we should be the ones to help them…”
“Hah… Shouldn’t we help each other to deepen our friendship, and promise a future together through that friendship? How can your perspective be so narrow!”
“…”
What is this sound, right now?
“What is this.”
I definitely felt like I had closed my eyes in bed after a refreshing release.
But when I opened my eyes, a sight I had never seen before in my life entered my vision.
The first thing that entered my sight was a ridiculously expensive-looking chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
And below it was a long round table that you would expect to see at a State Council.
“…Is the place I”m sitting right now the seat of honor?'
When I lowered my gaze completely to look at where I was.
I judged that my position was undoubtedly the seat of honor.
“Is it a dream? Am I having a vivid dream?”
But why did the content I briefly heard earlier sound so familiar?
While I kept my mouth shut and observed my surroundings in this situation I was experiencing for the first time in my life.
The conversation continued to progress.
“Immediately! We must help them immediately! It is right to protect their Troops!”
“N-no, then what about our Troops…”
“Are we not strong! Can we not just send the Executioners, who are said to be the mightiest?”
“The Executioners are the Empire’s greatest Troops, how can you speak of dispatching them to another country so easily?”
“Hah… Because they are the mightiest, they can resolve the matter quickly and return, can they not!”
“Prince Bedin, Your Highness, please reconsider…”
While I was grasping the situation, I slowly began to understand.
“Bedin? Did he say Bedin?”
If it were Bedin, could it be Bedin, one of the Characters in <I’m Full Because They Give Me Too Much>, the Second Prince of the Bellos Empire, the psychotic bastard crazy about love?
“Wait a minute, wait a minute…”
Then this was inside the novel?
As I grasped the situation, my head, which had felt refreshed, became dizzy again.
Why, why was I transmigrated? Because I had a lot of complaints?
No, but couldn’t someone have a few complaints while reading a novel?
Why make a fuss and transmigrate me as you please? Then what happens to my original life?
Dozens of thoughts popped up randomly.
“But what’s the point of talking like this anyway? The decision-maker is my brother. Isn’t that right, brother? You understand my heart, brother! You’ll listen to me, right?”
“…?”
At the Second Prince’s words, my dizzy head instantly cleared up.
When I stared at the Second Prince with a look that said, “What was this guy trying to say just now?”, ignoring his excitement, the Second Prince looked at me and poured out his words with eyes full of expectation.
“We’re sending the Executioners to the Maselin Kingdom! It’s dangerous right now, so we absolutely have to save them! Right?! Brother! You’re going to allow it, right?!”
The moment I heard those words, the anger I had felt toward the Second Prince surged in my head.
So I wanted to calmly explain various things to the Second Prince, explaining why it wouldn’t work and was absolutely impossible.
But I didn’t have that kind of eloquence.
So.
“Hey, you fucking bastard.”
I just spat out the conclusion.
Think about it logically, as if that would work?
