109 – Vacation preparation (1)
Ruid decided to watch.
All the emperor did was try to help Amelia earn her credit, and he hadn’t crossed the line yet.
… Above all, the composition of Windsor’s succession does not change that easily.
Irene’s ability was too good for her to be different just because she made a simple achievement.
Irene is strong. Even Louise, she doesn’t know the end.
Even Amelia, who is a little clumsy in the first place, is often described as ‘the sky’ in the original work.
Irene’s skill is to subdue such Amelia with single action.
To be honest, no matter what the emperor did, it was impossible to overturn this structure.
“Me, professor.”
Then, Ella asked cautiously.
“Why?”
“… Uh, how long can I stroke you?”
Ella was on her knees stroking Louis de’s fluffy hair.
‘Ella is all-around.’
Ella was an all-around genius magical girl.
Study cotton study, pillow cotton pillow.
In particular, the use as a pillow is amazing.
First of all, his body is solid, perhaps because he is tall. Not too soft, not too hard.
Moreover, Ella’s body temperature was higher than average, so it was warm.
It is indeed a great pillow, sofa, and cushion.
It is perfect if you endure the shame of being a professor who is taken care of by your assistant.
And that was the area where Ruid was most confident.
“Until I sleep.”
“That, this, I have a lot of work behind me… “
“Ella.”
Ruid said seriously.
“The most important thing you should think about is putting me to sleep.”
“Yes, yes!”
Ella also answered seriously.
But I couldn’t help but twist her body.
‘What should I do?’
Ella was in the greatest crisis on earth.
‘I want to go to the bathroom… !’
It’s because I’ve been patient with it since a while ago.
**
“It’s late.”
Panting, Ella entered the student council room.
Today is the day the regular meeting was promised.
Everyone was already seated.
Damon said a word.
“You are rude. You dare to be later than this body.”
“I’m sorry.”
Ella bowed her back deeply.
“I was late while putting Professor Louis to bed… !”
Ella was sweating profusely.
Originally, he had a constitution that sweated a lot, but the situation just before was urgent.
“Lou, I heard that you brought Ruid to bed.”
From noble mtl dot com
Hercy looked at the floor with a melancholy expression.
“I’m envious.”
“Hmm. It can’t be helped. Sit down.”
Damon nodded his head earnestly.
Originally, even if a natural disaster occurred, the common people would have dared to reprimand them severely for being later than they were.
However, Ruid decided to take a look at it because it felt like a catastrophe in the sky, more serious than a natural disaster.
“There is nothing special about calling you today.”
Damon crossed his arms and said confidently.
“It was to overturn the academy’s system. Get rid of the damned will of the first emperor.”
“Oh, yes. That’s not really a big deal…… “
Hersy jumped to her feet.
“It’s not a big deal, is it?!”
Hercy was so absurd that his depressed feelings were blown away at once.
“What’s wrong?”
“Everyone, of course there is a problem. That means shaking the foundations of the empire.”
“If the foundation of an empire is anything like that, it is better to destroy it.”
Damon is talking nonsense. It’s not a day or two.
However, Hercy realized when he saw Damon’s cold expression.
That you are sincere.
“With a children’s book titled The First Emperor, this huge empire is moving. Don’t you think it’s incredibly backward?”
“The will of the first emperor is a system that has been well maintained for a thousand years. As a result, the Empire is entering an unprecedented golden age.”
Hersy calmed down a bit and sat down.
“If this word reaches the ears of other nobles, severe punishment… “
“By golden age, do you mean the current situation where the entire empire is soaked in the sweet honey of peace?”
Hersy bit his lip.
I glanced at Damon nervously.
‘This person, really… ‘
She gave the best answer she could.
“Certainly, from the point of view of nobles, there are many parts of the first emperor’s will that I do not understand.”
Damon nodded her head as if to say something.
“However, I think the direction is right. I think it is an unattainable utopia, but the value of equality is efficient enough.”
“Oh, then, b*tch. Do you see the current state as befitting the Empire?”
“In general. It was absurd that nobles and commoners were equal, but that was true only in the academy. Thanks to that, the Empire is currently able to train excellent talent. In fact, there are outstanding mages from commoners every year.”
Damon laughed.
“Wrong b*tch. Not my assertion The quality of the average mage in the Empire is noticeably lacking compared to other kingdoms.”
“I can’t just listen to that.”
Hersy denied it.
“According to the research of the magical world, the magic of the empire is a century ahead of other kingdoms.”
“What do you think would happen if there was a real war?”
“… Yes? That’s right.”
Of course, the empire wins.
No country can be stronger than an empire.
Hersy tried to say that.
But Damon spoke first.
“One person, no. What can a wizard who has never even killed a monster do? No matter how many inexperienced troops there are, that is just a burden.”
The testament of the first emperor.
Damon thought it was a semblance of poison.
Human history has always developed through fighting.
However, the values of the first emperor regarded struggle as uncivilized and dismissed conquest as unconscionable.
Damon didn’t understand that value since he was a child.
It is an empire that must be coveted, destroyed, and drunk.
That is the hegemon, and only then can there be development.
“Talented people. Certainly, the Empire has many talented people. But what does that talent want? Detox magician how about the article? No matter how sharp the blade is, it is of no use at all. Can their swords really be sharp?”
Hersy shut his mouth.
And he panicked.
“Certainly…… We should be alert because the period of peace is long, but I don’t think the empire will collapse so easily. Prince Damon’s words are too extreme.”
“Extreme. Do you still say that after going through this?”
Damon calmly recited the situation.
“A warlock has invaded the heart of the Empire. The truth is still unknown.”
“… !”
“Everyone was just busy praising Ruid’s achievements.”
Hercy’s eyes shook.
Damon said looking at his hands.
“I was getting goosebumps. Without Windsor then, the emperor would be dead. Nevertheless, enjoy the banquet without any alarm, and laugh and chatter. It’s something that doesn’t make any sense to me.”
Damon’s face was filled with strong disgust.
“I’m not sure. Of all previous empires, the current empire is the weakest because it is addicted to the drug of complacency. Even a light crisis will crumble.”
Hercy swallowed dry saliva.
There was a point in what he said.
But-
“… There is no way.”
The will of the first emperor is absolute.
It is difficult even for an emperor to change that value.
However, they were only the student council of the academy.
Even if it’s the successor, that’s a thing in the distant future.
“The monster of the north.”
Damon tossed it.
“Yes?”
“I think the reason Windsor is strong is because of the monsters. They have their first experience killing monsters when they are 5 years old. And as an adult, every day is a war. We have to confront the pouring mighty monsters of the north.”
Damon was strongly convinced.
“The northern monsters are the only way to alert this weak empire. More than anything.”
Damon smiled and looked at Hercy.
“Don’t you think a country is putting too much burden on individuals?”
“Now, wait a minute. Boo, you’re going to catch monsters in the north? Taking the academy students?”
Damon put his serious face away and returned to his usual haughty face.
He arrogantly crossed his legs and declared.
“The lowly people do not have the right to dare to see Windsor Castle. It is the monsters who are looking for us, not us. Let’s dismantle the first line of defense that Windsor is consuming. In preparation for that day, rigorous training is ordered.”
Hersy was bewildered.
It hurts to talk about how strong the northern monsters are.
Moreover, the first line of defense was a line directly connected to the capital.
It seemed unrealistic.
“Is that possible… ?”
Damon raised an eyebrow.
“My dear friend happened to be indebted to me.”
**
“…… Is the summary of this meeting.”
Ella, Ruid’s assistant, made a steady report.
He had a habit of reporting even the smallest things, but Damon made it this time.
Ruid’s impression after hearing the story was this.
“… It’s not difficult.”
Wouldn’t you rather like Victoria or Irene?
There is always a shortage of manpower in the North.
There are 9 lines of defense against monsters, but the Duke of Windsor is blocking them alone.
No matter how untouchable Victoria and Irene are, they do not have multiple bodies.
Since the level of the monsters is high, the survival rate is 50% when a new knight joins the defense line.
In particular, the first line of defense has the lowest number and level of monsters, and since it is directly connected to the capital, Irene is in charge.
You can’t miss even a single rabbit monster, so you need a strong person like Irene.
Of course, this is a huge loss of manpower.
As a result, Irene would sometimes grumble. ‘Louis, do you know why I want to become a family head? It’s because I want to go with a slightly stronger defense line.’
Damon’s plan is something to be welcomed with open arms. Irene, who probably heard this news, wanted everything at this time, so she would withdraw from her defenses in a second.
“I can handle it… It won’t work.”
“Are the monsters on the first line of defense that strong? ? Enough that the entire empire couldn’t handle it?”
“I can handle the whole empire. But, like Damon said, the empire isn’t playing around.”
Most of the main forces are on the border.
It is an era of peace, but it is only limited to the system.
There are other monsters in the lower regions, and the so-called ‘barbarians’ often plunder in the border areas.
Of course you can’t call them.
“I have to protect Your Majesty, so even the Imperial Knights can’t move much. In the first place, the current system of the empire is built on the premise that our house will thoroughly block the northern monsters.”
No matter how far from the north it is, it is the weakest first line of defense, but it is difficult unless the nobles voluntarily put up troops.
I don’t think the greedy nobles would dare to surrender their troops.
In other words, you really have to deal with monsters with academy personnel.
“Uh… How about bringing the troops from the first line of defense back to the islands?”
“Hmm. I don’t have to…….”
If that were the case, he was about to say that there would be no reason for Windsor to agree to Damon’s request.
Something passed through Ruid’s mind.
‘Damon wants to stop the Emperor’s plans.’
‘He’s not the type to lie, so he’s sincere in wanting to stop the bad habits of the empire.’
‘Damon is the type to solve many things at the same time.’
‘There is only one way to reliably solve those two problems.’
Ruid’s eyes widened.
“Irene noona… Calling them to the system?”
That was the only way to keep the emperor in check and at the same time bring about a wind of change in the empire.
