Chapter 110: Farewell
“… … What do you mean? Frontier.”
Fili asked back, pretending to be calm.
“I found out who the culprit was, and the culprit is now running away. “The case has been solved, so what’s the problem?”
Those words from Philly.
I didn’t know how to answer.
Fili just kept talking.
“Public opinion of the citizens of the Empire? That’s right, if I explain this situation, we can solve it somehow. “If you bring all the Zodiacs together and explain the situation, they too,”
“… … Mr. Philly.”
“Don’t call me that!!”
Fili’s sharp cry. It rings loudly and makes the room hum.
“I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time, but Frondier’s rudeness has gone too far! Do you know? I am the empress of this empire. I guess you keep forgetting who I am and calling me that! “If I put my mind to it, I can do anything in this empire!”
“… … I know.”
“Getting over this situation is easy for me! You can turn it back as if nothing happened! What on earth do you know when you aren’t even in the imperial palace? … !”
Fili’s shoulders were shaking.
Yes, I know.
If Philly does a little bit of hard work, it might be possible to somehow get over this situation.
But it shouldn’t be that way.
“… … Zodiac has already published information about me to the Empire. Now Riri and I are officially ‘demons’ in the Empire. “By now, the information is probably spreading rapidly among citizens.”
“So you said you would solve that problem too! “I will tell the Zodiac separately, and then tell the story again at the imperial palace—”
Philly tries hard to persuade me.
Maybe she knows too. How absurd what she was saying was.
Even though he knows, Fili says it.
I couldn’t watch that for long.
Empress Fili.
If she puts her mind to it, truly anything within the empire is possible.
What she is saying now is not at all impossible.
But no matter which method you use,
“Blood is flowing. Mr. Philly.”
“… … !”
“Most of the Zodiac are already convinced that I am the devil. The imperial palace’s crackdown does not work on the Zodiac. Even if it works, cracks will appear sooner or later.”
Before I came here, I had already dealt with many Zodiacs.
At that time, I had already made up my mind.
Pushed by the Zodiacs’ pincer attack, he curled his tail and ran away.
Ludovic, who was right next to me, seemed to feel out of place, but the other zodiacs probably didn’t feel the same way.
I had no intention of causing any serious injury to any of them. Because the Empire still needs them now.
“If a opposing force emerges from the Zodiac and the empire splits into two forces, then there is really no turning back.”
That must have been the painting that Odin ultimately wanted. I will resist until the end and turn the empire into a mess.
That’s probably why he looked at my face and looked like he didn’t like it.
“… … how.”
Fili bit his lip and looked at me.
“How can you have a face like that?”
“… … .”
“Do you know what you’re doing to yourself right now? If you hear that you are the devil, do you think that is the end of it? Not only will you be kicked out of the empire, but everything you’ve done so far will be denied! Everything from saving the empire from demons to sacrificing your life to protect it in war! People will despise you, saying it was all just a drawing of the devil to get things done! But how!”
“It’s a familiar thing.”
Ha, Philly sighs in vain at my words. Her tears streamed down with him.
“Mr. Philly. “You know me.”
“Frondier… … . Frontier!”
“Everything just goes back to the way it was.”
I raised my head.
The protagonist who led the war to victory, the hero of the empire, and the second hope.
Although it was short, it was full of undeserved titles.
At one time, I felt resentful that I was a frontier.
I am being punished even though it is not my laziness and it is not my fault.
Still, I was determined to endure it as time went by.
‘… … hehehehe. Even that determination was excessive.’
I may have received the punishment Frondier deserved.
I have never felt the contempt placed on him during his years of sin.
I said I would pay Frontier’s debt on his behalf, so I still have some remaining debt.
From Noble mtl dot com
“… … also. I’m laughing again. Frontier.”
“sure.”
My laughter is not forced.
It was really my heart that made me smile.
Philly is in front of me now.
Empress of the Empire.
Colleagues who have been able to trust each other by peering into each other’s minds, bluffing, colluding, and collaborating with each other over and over again.
If it weren’t for Philly, we would have been in an even more serious situation than this.
Since Fili recognized Robert’s identity, he stopped here.
No one was able to finish the job without shedding blood.
So it’s done.
“I’m glad we have Mr. Philly.”
I won’t be in the Empire anymore.
Philly is still here.
Her authority and the well-being of the empire have not faded at all here.
“That’s why I can smile.”
“… … Are you really leaving? “You don’t want to hurt anyone in the empire, so you’re going to blame Frontiere for a crime that doesn’t even exist?”
“Well, it’s not an absolutely trivial sin.”
I looked at Lily. She was avoiding her gaze as if she was having trouble looking into my eyes.
I burst out laughing at that sight.
“It’s not entirely wrong to say that I am the devil.”
“… … Frontier.”
“Please take care of the Empire. Mr. Philly.”
I bowed deeply to Fili.
“… … And, please take care of Aten.”
* * *
As expected from Frontier.
The empire was already abuzz with talk about Frontier.
The Zodiac declared Frondeer a demon and would soon receive his due punishment.
What was different from Frontier’s expectations was that the speed was much faster.
─The devil Frondier is arrested in the imperial palace.
─Hero of the Empire. The reality hidden behind it.
Both Wizard View and the newspaper covered Frontier, and most of the content was the same.
Frontier is a demon, and the reason he went to war was to have an empire for himself. His surprising strength is presumed to be due to him being a demon.
He laid out a plan to devour the empire, and his leadership of the war effort was nothing more than a further step in that plan.
Many citizens of the Empire were shocked and made a fuss all day trying to determine whether it was true or not, but in the end, opinions were leaning towards one side as the Zodiacs had made it public on their own.
“Frondier. “There is still time until deportation.”
Frontier was actually arrested.
It was discovered in the imperial palace, where the emperor, empress, and princess were together, and Lili, known as a member of Frondier’s gang, was also in the same place.
Frondier was forced to flee by Zodiac’s pincer attack, and went to the imperial palace to surrender on his own.
“If there is anything you want, tell me.”
And now.
Frondier is imprisoned in prison, with both hands in restraints.
And across from the prison was Zodiac Ludovic.
It is true that Frondier defeated Belphegor, so it takes at least Zodiac to keep an eye on him. No matter how many restraints you put on him, you don’t know what he will do as long as he is a devil. That was the reason.
Zodiac decided to take turns watching Frondier, and now it was Ludovic’s turn.
“I’d like to say goodbye.”
“… … .”
A dry frontier horse. Ludovic looked at him quietly.
It was a natural request for a criminal facing his deportation date.
Ludovic bit his molars. It was not my intention to refuse Frontier’s request.
It was simply because he couldn’t stand Frondier looking at him with such a weak look.
“… … Frontier, tell me one thing.”
“What is it?”
“Did I make a mistake?”
Frondier’s eyes widened slightly and blinked. And then he smiled.
“no.”
“… … .”
“You did the right thing more than anyone else.”
Wow.
Ludovic could not look straight at that face.
Crash.
Instead, he opened the prison door, walked over to Frondier, and untied his restraints.
“… … Ludovic?”
“It would be unseemly to say goodbye while wearing a restraint.”
Of course, it is absolutely unacceptable to loose the restraints carelessly due to issues of appearance.
But Ludovic already knew.
Frontier has no intention of running away or resisting. No, rather, Frontier himself created that situation.
Even if Ludovic sides with Frondier, the remaining Zodiacs will never accept it. So many Zodiacs saw Frontier and Lili.
“good. Frontier. This is all I can do. Just come back within 24 hours. “This is all I can do.”
“… … thank you.”
Frondier opened a portal. Ludovic saw the scene and thought again.
As expected, Frontier could run away at any time. There must have been hundreds of opportunities before the restraints were filled.
“… … Zodiac Ludovic.”
“What.”
“I wasn’t sarcastic or mocking you.”
Before Frondier crossed the portal, he left these words to Ludovic.
“Really, you did the right thing.”
Sigh.
Just like that, Frondier disappeared without waiting for an answer.
The portal disappears, and we are left in a dark prison. Ludovic wanders alone in an unoccupied prison cell.
“… … Zodiac. “It’s the Zodiac.”
hahahaha. Ludovic laughed. I laughed out loud.
Trust and loyalty to the empire. I have always lived only for that.
Anyone who becomes an enemy of the empire is cut down. That was his role, and he played it perfectly.
The decisive battle weapon of the Terst Empire, one of the 12.
“Are you saying this is the Zodiac? Ludovic.”
A voice trembling with anger briefly shook the dust from the prison.
* * *
As soon as Frondier crossed the portal, he flew straight away.
There were many places to say goodbye, but there was one that was more urgent than any other.
He flew from the cabin at full speed until he reached his beloved home, Roach Manor.
and.
“for a moment.”
I land in front of the mansion’s gate and extend both hands towards the people in front of me.
“Please stop.”
In front of him were two men whose air was burning with life.
It was Ampere and Atzier.
The appearance of the two was so sad and hideous that all the servants of the mansion who had become accustomed to living together were trembling, regardless of age or gender.
Still, he couldn’t bear to leave them alone, so he came outside the mansion and tried to dissuade the two.
“Frondier.”
“How did you get out?”
Ampere and Azier looked at Frondier and asked first.
“… … Zodiac Ludovic gave me the opportunity to say goodbye.”
Frondier was wondering how to choose a horse, but he now knew that such a thing was impossible.
“farewell?”
“Opportunity?”
Probably no matter how I said it, these people.
“How dare you give something like that to the Zodiac as an opportunity?”
Quad deud deuk!!
Ampere’s murderous spirit spewed out as an aura and scanned the ground in a chilling manner. The dry land made a noise and the trees stretched out their branches in fear.
Normally, Ampere’s wife, Malia, would have restrained him from going out of his way, but even when Frondier looked around, he could not see Malia.
Frondier searched his eyes diligently, found Butler Vikar, and asked him with his eyes.
─What about Mom?
Vicar read those eyes and silently spoke.
─He told me to destroy the imperial palace.
Damn it.
In other words, the only thing that can stop these two is Frontier.
“Calm down first. It’s not Zodiac’s fault.”
“okay. “I don’t blame the Zodiac.”
“All we have to do is overthrow the imperial palace.”
Words don’t make sense.
Atjie and Ampere are trying to make a move with perfect unity. Who on earth can stop this?
“Father, brother.”
Frontier broke into a cold sweat and said what he had to say.
“I am leaving the empire.”
“… … !”
The two’s expressions hardened. Frondier looked at that face stained with anger, embarrassment, and regret until his eyes stung.
He spat with all his might, but his voice didn’t come out properly.
“But I am Frontier de Roach.”
“… … !”
“Wherever I am, I will be Roach’s son.”
A life that resembles a storm that is slowly subsiding.
At a time when everyone was silent, Frondier spoke.
“It’s just a short vacation.”
