How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Episode 9 English Subbed

Kazuya is having trouble sleeping from stress so Juna begins singing him to sleep. Air Force General Castor Vargas wants to rebel against Kazuya with the support of the Amidonia Principality, but Navy General Excel Walters is reluctant. Army General Georg Carmine despises Kazuya for removing men of authority in the name of efficiency. In Amidonia, King Gaius reveals he ultimately plans to betray both sides. Kazuya declares the food shortages over and must move on to a plan he considers cruel but necessary for Elfrieden’s security. Gaius ignores his minister Colbert’s warnings that his plan violates the ban on inter-kingdom conflict. Colbert is fired so Gaius’ daughter, Roroa, involves Colbert in her plan instead. Kazuya meets the generals and warns either they submit to his rule or become traitors. Excel is satisfied to hear he will take no revenge and will keep Lagoon City as Elfrieden’s naval base so she submits. Castor refuses to accept Kazuya as king and becomes a traitor alongside Georg. Liscia cuts her hair, which to a lion-man like Georg is a vow of absolute resolve. Kazuya thanks Juna for arranging peace with her grandmother, Excel, prior to the meeting.
