Chapter 344.1 - Side Story : Beastmen\'s Land I

Side Kraug

I am the gray tapir Kraug. I am the best of Gringot Intelligence. Well, even though it may sound like I am part of an intelligence organization, we never actually did anything spectacular like infiltrating enemy territory and bringing back important information or the like. If anything, our main role was to keep an eye out for enemy agents who may have infiltrated our city.

Not long ago, we managed to catch the mastermind behind the assassins who attacked the Black Thunder Princess. Speaking of the Black Thunder Princess, she’s the current most popular local hero, having broken through conventional wisdom that the black cat tribe which was said to be incapable of achieving evolution. Upon usurping that deep rooted belief, she could even fight with Goddarfa to a stalemate. Hence, it would be unforgivable for anyone to even think of taking away this budding hope of the black cat tribe.

Although it took a bit of time, we managed to apprehend them in the end. On the other hand, however, it was much easier than expected for us to force them to speak up. No, it seemed to be that their mission was to leak this information in the first place.

“The Krishna royal family? The royal family that ruled the Beastmen Nation before the Narasinha family, right?”

“Yes, that’s right…… We will only bow our heads to the rightful royal family.”

Then I remembered a rumor. It was said that the current Beast King family has a dark history that people here no longer talk or even know about. One of the reasons for this is the lack of people working in a certain profession. There were only a handful of people of this specific profession or title in the Beastmen Nation. This profession we are referring to is a historian.

Despite our country being more militaristic and combative than others, it does not mean that only barbarians live here. There were also sorcerers, scholars, and in fact, my father used to be a biologist.

Yet, even though we did have all these knowledge classes, there were sadly still an extremely small number of historian students, historians, and archaeologists in this region. As a matter of fact, it’s safer to say that there were almost none of them. One of the biggest reasons for this was that we didn’t really have proper historical documentation left behind from before, and hence there are no old records left to be studied or kept. Apparently, it was the Beast King family of the past that destroyed the old documents. Therefore, this situation led to the fact that there wasn’t really a need for this kind of occupation.

Another reason was that this profession was heavily cracked down upon by the Beast Kings a few generations ago, and most of the historians of the past have either been imprisoned and executed. As a result, the profession itself has disappeared.

Having been so thorough in their actions, it’s obvious that there was a big secret that the Beast Royal Family did not want any of its citizens, or anyone else for that matter, to know. While the current Beast King was very lenient with regards to this incident up to the point where we are even able to learn about the situation, until a few decades ago, it was apparently forbidden to even mention anything of it.

What if that secret was the existence of a former royal family called the Krishna family? Moreover, what if the current royal throne came to be not from a regular regime change of successor inheritance, but instead an usurpation of its predecessors?

I wanted to know more about it. But regardless of the past, I am not dissatisfied with the current Beast Royal Family, which is currently running a good government. Rather, they are doing a fairly good job and are honorable leaders of our country.

But what about the politics behind all of this? What if a person, a survivor of the Krishna royal family, with whom the Bashar royal family is said to be cooperating with, was planning behind the scenes for a reinstatement and restoration into kingship? In some cases, they may be able to claim legitimacy.

At the very least, they may not be able to one-sidedly assert that Bashar Kingdom was evil. Regardless, even at a glance, it was a messy situation.

According to an agent of Bashar’s Kingdom, the authorities of the kingdom were indebted to the Krishna royal family of the past and were unable to refuse their request. That’s one thing for certain. But there’s no country that can be driven to action just from gratitude alone. Instead, you can give legitimacy to your actions by appearing to be working in favor of others. In other words, this time, the war was not just a skirmish, and the Bashar Kingdom’s side, anticipating this, should have been well prepared.

Half a day later. We had been sent north to scout the neighborhood. Then, near the Schwarzkatze, we encountered a group of adventurers. They were the skillful men who marched with Master Kiara to intercept the evildoers. They also said that a knight of Bashar was amongst those that were captured.

It seemed that the knight was very loyal and wouldn’t budge to any form of interrogation or extortion. But she had managed to put them in a trance and extracted information from them. Under normal circumstances, it’s hard to force them to do what we want them to, and even I myself am not strong enough to make them do what I want. But apparently, he was put into a trance and it made it easier for him to fall into hypnosis. Well, even so, it was limited to just about a minute.

The knight also mentioned the name “Myrelia”. To repay the woman’s debt, the Bashar Kingdom was apparently lending a helping hand.

That Myrelia woman, she’s got some serious guts. By impressing upon one’s self-respect or patriotism, it was possible for a person to instill a favorable feeling from another to oneself. It was similar to a prostitute’s modus operandi for hitting on a man.

However, there is a high probability that the knights have already taken into account the information leaked to us, and have given only convenient information. It seemed that these knights may have already been brainwashed in the first place. In essence, the earlier testimony was not very credible.

“What’s the real purpose of this Myrelia woman? No, it’s not my job to think about this. In the meantime, I must report this to my lord……”
