I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

However, the export of Vesbania minerals, a specialty of the Kingdom of Vesbania, is prohibited.

This meant that although the common people of the Kingdom of Vesbania possessed abundant resources similar to those in Middle Eastern countries, they were unable to profit from these resources and could not obtain any benefits at all.

The vast majority of civilians in the Kingdom of Vesbania could no longer survive in such harsh conditions, which led to the rebellion.

The rebels initially threatened Lupin III by kidnapping Fujiko Mine, in order to steal the Vesbanian minerals that had come with the princess of the Vesbanian Kingdom.

At the same time, they used Lupin III to lure the mechanic out, making the mechanic known as the Dragon Warrior work for the rebels.

In this way, all you need is Vesbania ore that can cripple modern equipment, plus wooden mechanical beasts that don't require any modern technology.

This reform movement targeting the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Vesbania was able to proceed smoothly.

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

They can no longer obtain the Vesbanian ore that came with the princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania through Lupin III.

They also failed to acquire the mechanical skills of the mechanic known as the Flying Dragon Warrior...

Now, the only option left for them is to kidnap the princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania and use her identity to demand Vesbania minerals from the Kingdom of Vesbania.

Even if they did this, they would most likely not survive after obtaining the Vesbania ore and sending it out.

but……

Some things always need to be done by someone.

“Our inside man has obtained all the route maps for the princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania’s visit to Tokyo.”

"The official arrival and visit of the Princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania will take place tomorrow evening."

"We need to first set up manpower at the hotel where the princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania is staying, so that we can abduct her as soon as possible..."

The leader of the resistance forces from the Kingdom of Vesbania shouted.

"Our plan is sure to succeed."

"As long as we can obtain the Vesbanian ore, we will be able to find a way to deal with the corrupt high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Vesbanian."

"Then we will be able to completely save this country! We are in the midst of a great cause, and for this great cause, sacrifices must be made!"

The words of the rebel leader ignited the passion within the entire rebel squad.

Their eyes burned with a fierce fire, as if they were truly convinced that this operation was bound to succeed.

Favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships.

All the favorable factors were on their side, and they did not see any possibility of failure.

……

The Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Vesbania.

The princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania, who looks remarkably like Ran Mouri, is sitting alone at her desk in her private room at this very moment.

He rested his chin on his hand, looked up at the distant stars, and seemed to be thinking about something.

She was naturally aware of the turmoil brewing within the Kingdom of Vesbania.

However, since she had not yet become empress, even if she knew, there was nothing she could do. Besides, her uncle was handling these matters.

I believe my uncle will handle all of this well.

Moreover, she herself was not yet ready to become the Queen of the Kingdom of Vesbania.

After all, she was born to be the princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania, not someone she wanted to become.

This is something that shouldn't be her doing at all...

People should have the right to choose freely.

And it was also at the other end of the palace.

While the princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania, Mira Juliet, was still struggling with whether or not she should become the queen of the country.

Her uncle, Gilad Muskavis Baland, as regent and duke of Vesbania, was already preparing to ascend the throne.

It was already late at night.

Kirad was still dealing with official business within the Kingdom of Vesbania, pondering his upcoming visit to Tokyo the next day.

Will Count Vesbania, who is overly close to Mira, intervene to thwart his plans?

Although he is now the regent of the Kingdom of Vesbania, possessing almost all the power of the kingdom.

However, as long as Mira remains the princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania, she can reclaim the kingdom's claim at any time.

She could become the supreme empress of this kingdom at any time.

At that time, Girard, as regent, might lose his current power, and possibly even everything.

Killard stared expressionlessly at the document in his hand, which contained information about the hotel's defenses, as Princess Mira later visited Tokyo.

As Princess Mira's uncle, he knew her habits better than anyone else.

Although Princess Mira is naturally willful and capricious, overall, she is not as excessive as those noble ladies.

Logically speaking, even if Princess Mira changed her mind about not wanting to be the Queen of the Kingdom of Vesbania and instead wanted to remain the Queen, or simply gave the throne to her uncle.

For Duke Girard, who is now the regent, this is not a big problem.

Princess Mira will not change her attitude towards her uncle because of her change in status.

But Duke Girard knew better than anyone that Princess Mira knew the cause of death of the former Queen and her brother, Prince Gil, who had once been Crown Prince.

Without a doubt, Princess Mira will hate him to the core and will settle scores with him someday...

Because Duke Girard was the one who killed the former queen and crown prince of the Kingdom of Vesbania.

The mastermind behind secretly plotting to instigate turmoil within the Kingdom of Vesbania, leading to the emergence of a rebel army, and ultimately making the rebels determined to blackmail the Vesbania princess.

Those rebels from the lower ranks of the Kingdom of Vesbania were simply incapable of breaching the defenses of the Vesbania royal family.

Duke Girard had specifically entrusted all arrangements after the princess's arrival in Tokyo to the rebels of the Kingdom of Vesbania.

In this way, he could have the rebels of the Kingdom of Vesbania kill the princess without shedding a drop of blood, thus gaining complete control of the Kingdom of Vesbania.

After all, with the death of the former empress, the former crown prince, and the current princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania, he, as the Duke of Vesbania, was the only remaining member of the royal family.

No one else could rightfully inherit the kingdom except him.

At that time, he, the newly appointed emperor of the Kingdom of Vesbania, will be able to legitimately distribute and sell Vesbania minerals as a resource.

At that time, all the problems of the Kingdom of Vesbania will be solved, and no one will remember those former royal members who died tragically.

All they knew was that the new emperor of the Kingdom of Vesbania possessed the talent to solve all problems and had indeed given them more money and a better life than before.

Everything was so simple and straightforward.

"...I'm a little tired, I'll deal with the rest of the documents tomorrow."

Duke Girard, upon realizing this, found himself unable to continue revising the official documents in his hand and simply spoke to the servant beside him.

The servant beside him immediately nodded and carried the documents aside so as not to disturb Duke Girard's rest afterwards.

He is thinking about it now.

How can we find a reason to distract Earl Keith, who is inseparable from Princess Mira every day?

...Perhaps we could start with Princess Mira herself, since if she were willing to transfer Earl Keith away...

That fellow is always blindly loyal; he shouldn't disobey Princess Mira's orders.

By the time he realized something was wrong and wanted to investigate Princess Mira again, she had probably already arrived in Tokyo.

Is there no longer any chance for investigation?

Count Girard finally finalized his idea.

……

"Want to steal a gem?"

"That's strange. I don't recall you having a hobby of stealing jewels. Is there too little going on in Tokyo lately, and not enough for you to handle?"

"I've had some time lately, since I need to make arrangements for things in Tokyo. I can't just head straight to the United States like this."

"What jewel is it? Where? When do you want it? Should I send a notice in my capacity as Phantom Thief Kid?"

Inside the secret base of Phantom Thief Kid.

The famous second-generation Phantom Thief Kaito Kuroba is here dealing with his own affairs while talking on the phone with Chen En.

"Visbania ore?"

"Uh, isn't it a gemstone?"

Upon hearing this somewhat unfamiliar term, Kaito Kuroba paused for a moment before speaking.

"no problem."

"You can leave this to me without worry."

When it comes to fighting, this Phantom Thief Kid is indeed not good at it.

But if you were to tell me you're going to steal some kind of jewel, that would be one of his specialties, the Phantom Thief Kid.

He was confident that even Batman couldn't match his skill in stealing gems.

Don't use your interests to challenge someone else's expertise!

The call with Chen En ended quickly.

Terai Kinosuke, who was helping to organize the things he needed to take to the United States, looked up with some confusion and asked.

"Young Master, are you sure you want to stay in Tokyo a little longer and help Young Master Chen steal the stuff before you leave?"

"I always felt that Young Master Chen En's side was involved in all sorts of very serious incidents. If I really got involved, I felt that I wouldn't be able to get out of it for a while."

They hadn't been in contact with Chen En for at most two weeks.

How many heinous incidents and terrorist attacks have been exposed in this short two-week period?

More than a thousand people have been injured or arrested... There have even been serious incidents of attacks on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office.

Even though Terai Kinosuke believed that Chen En would not assign Kuroba Kaito any tasks beyond Kuroba Kaito's capabilities.

At this moment, I can't help but feel a little worried.
