Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? - Ch. 156 - The Coronation

[Jstar338]

He could just isolate it with his barriers, after all

100% what happened, he removed or neutralized whatever was in the tea. Definitely poisoned

Has he STILL not come clean to them that he is their real brother? Kind of annoying, tbh

You know how complicated things will be after he reveals himself, right? He might even be asked to become the king. As if MC wants to do something so troublesome.

Did anyone not notice that she said "he is not immediately family, but he is related" did she know that haruto is her half brother?

Char's dad is the relative of the royal family. https://mangadex.org/chapter/7cdb4e3e-27dc-4d84-a2ee-08558a28d07b/12

They don't know about Haruto's real lineage yet.

Char will probably see the king mark on one of the siblings and be "Weird, I remember bro having one of those too"

That happened in the past

what a sus cliffhanger, is it poisoned by the king? and he's now going to cut the loose end. wud be nice if the cup is the last straw.

Oh, I can't be mad at Rauss for failing his attempt to look cool : dying because of Poison is such an uncool way to go...

At this point, the situation at home is way too unstable to do anything permanent about the foreign king. Say Haruto DID capture/kill him, what is to prevent another army from coming for revenge? Who will rule the newly conquered land? It won't be his siblings as they are still suffering from the fall-out of the old royals. What mechanisms will be in place to prevent ambicious traitors from messing with the country and siding with the foreign country?

Leaving the king alone for now is the wise choice as the country is still unstable. Plus the king is no threat as Haruto can EASILY dispose of him if he ever got uppity.

Capture, then ransom for several years' worth of their military budget

You could also force them to agree to a demilitarized zone.

That would not be a smart solution as it antagonises not only that kingdom but the other ones allied to it too which could lead to greater conflict. Additionally, that tactic only works if the king is valuable enough to not martyr, otherwise it will be used as a rallying cry for MORE conflict.

I dont see how that would antagonize allied kingdoms when all Haruto did was just defending his own border. There are lies you can tell to justify your own king being captured at another country's borders, but even then those are hard to sell.

If king is valuable enough, you get to cripple their military for a few years. If he isnt, you get to keep him prisoner and buy a few years politically as the replacement/regent needs time to take over the mantle.

Depending on how you spin it, it is quite easy to twist into a justification for war as the king didn't declare war. He ust went to the border with his army. This can be argued as a defensive measure as it could be seen as him making sure that an unstable nation (reminder that he JUST got news that the monarchy had collapsed) doesn't act out in aggression. So him being held at ransom could be seen as confirmation that the nation Haruto is a part of is unstable and dangerous.

The assumption that the kingdom wouldn't immediately attack is predicated on them not having back ups in place and or them not being reckless. Considering that they tried to attack as soon as they saw a weakness shows that they are highly aggressive which suggests some recklessness.

Even if they don't attack directly, there is prevent them from trying to use agents to cripple the queen. (Sure they would be able to undermine the country anyway but capturing the king gives them even more motive to act).
