"Is it even possible to make a titled noble of his rank 'disappear' discreetly?"
"With the right preparations…yes."

"This is the part where you're supposed to say 'No', isn't it?"

"I agree, we're going to have to give Emperor Rudeus an explanation."
"True that.
Even if we don't do so, there's no way that Emperor would not notice something is wrong and try to investigate it. And when he does, he would definitely discover something.
