Episode 311 ― Be My Companion (4)
“Is there anyone who dares to stand against Your Majesty?”
His eyes were slightly puffy, but the count’s tone was back to normal.
Cheerful voice.
If there is anything different from before, it is that he is holding onto the hand of Yurtelia, who is sitting next to her.
And soon the three of them heard an amazing story.
“Hmm…”
The Count pressed his temple lightly.
“… You got caught up in something big.”
Said Urtellia.
His voice was exhausted, as if he had poured out all his emotions after meeting the Count.
“It’s amazing that you moved us to Basel in the blink of an eye. Is it God’s work?”
A feeling that even Amut is absurd.
It is strange to suddenly be scouted by the emperor of an enemy country, even because the wizard of the country he lived in is trying to destroy himself.
Even the part where the demons who received the power of the goddess told all these stories is the highlight of the story.
“Does the small meeting know about this? Dae Young-lord…”
The count’s eyes narrowed as he casually asked the question.
“Well, there’s no way you wouldn’t know! There are many things that cannot be accomplished without knowing His Majesty’s abilities to some extent.”
A sudden peace with the forest fairy.
Detecting the rebellion of the Grand Duke of Darkness.
If you go back before that, the emperor’s sudden inspection, which encompassed the West Blood and the East Emperor, was certainly not there in the previous generation.
The secret movement of the small meeting that has been observed many times. Trade with humans.
The story that the emperor built a chapel for humans was actually because His Majesty himself received the revelation, not humans.
A few facts that the Count was puzzled by were right in line.
However, it didn’t come as a big problem for her as her favorability rating was now over +60. The trust in Roan is now solid, and it is difficult to shake.
“Unintentionally, Jim deceived me.”
As Roan apologized, the Count shook his head.
“No! You have been wise. Enemies and allies must be carefully identified.”
Who would have known that the Grand Duke of Darkness, the father of the empress, would even communicate with humans? The reason why the emperor did not reveal his strength and history must have been to prepare for a hidden enemy.
“So you mentioned religion.”
Said Urtellia.
“We don’t know much about divine power or divine magic… If the saintess is on His Majesty’s side, expanding her church will be much easier.”
Anmut said seriously.
“Because the saintess was truly revered by humans.”
Urtellia added.
“Everyone was getting sick of the current church. It’s just that you can’t recklessly challenge the name of the great goddess. But if Her Majesty and the saintess appear together, people will be quickly drawn to it.”
His eyes are still slightly red, but his voice, though subdued, is still cheerful.
Count Bertellia’s eyes twinkled as she watched Uretlia’s vitality come to life.
“You said you were holding the hand of a nobleman. Right now, the nobles of Sprouse are in a mess. Princess Grünent, or the nobles who were holding hands with the Order, were torn apart. They weren’t immediately absorbed into the power of the princes or Sprouse III. There is no side that has been deliberately destroyed as if condemning the princess faction in the royal family.”
Rennart, who was introduced by Anmut earlier, had originally been following the lord, who was a faction of Grunent.
“If they can take on another faction, and if it becomes known that the saintess and the princess are together, they will somehow get back together.”
Urtellia was well versed in the affairs of the aristocratic family.
It was because Anmut and high-ranking mercenaries like her often took care of the work of the nobility or the representative of the territory.
Depending on the political situation, what they should touch and what they should not get close to changed.
It was indispensable to grasp the situation of the high-ranking people in the capital.
“Awesome.”
Admiration flowed.
It was the voice of a count who had forgotten that he was in front of the emperor.
“How could you, being small, do things like this?”
“Sister.”
Seeing the count’s eyes, Yurteria blushed as if embarrassed.
“Perhaps you will look like a little kid to the Count.”
“Mmm, that’s true.”
The Count smiled as if he was embarrassed.
“I only remember crying and clinging to it…”
“Ugh.”
An embarrassed moan flowed from Urtellia’s mouth. Roan laughed lightly.
“I didn’t want to disturb the two of them, but it was very urgent, so I delivered the story briefly. I will deliver the matter quickly, so please be patient.”
“Thank you for your consideration like Hahae.”
Roan, staring at the Count lowering her head, waited for her to finish before opening her mouth.
“We will stop the Grand Duke of Darkness as much as possible, but we have to assume the situation.”
The two who lived in Merde had a vague idea of the great lord of Evirgio.
The weight was different from the feelings the count felt.
The count’s eyes narrowed.
She knew the political power and power of the Grand Duke of Darkness. The Grand Duke of Darkness was the only person in this country who dared to speak against the emperor.
His kin are less restrained by the Emperor’s power than other demons. This is because of the strong power of the family head who controls their blood due to the nature of vampires.
It might have something to do with the knights and family members of the lords. In fact, you may have to search all of Swinho’s castles.
That’s why the affair of the great lord was a huge event.
A case involving one quarter of the country and the most fertile land among the four great territories.
“If you had left it as it was, you might have been caught in the middle of a battle with humans. Your Majesty’s insight and wit are astonishing.”
As if the Count sincerely admired Roan, he lowered his head again. However, Roan hid a bitter smile.
It wasn’t something that might have been caught, it was actually caught.
“Still, it’s fortunate that the other two great lords didn’t dare to rebel against your Majesty or show foolishness in this chaos.”
The Northern Baekryung does not touch the Southern Blacklings, but the Western Bloodlings and the Eastern Hwangryungs share a border with those fertile lands to the south.
It wouldn’t be strange if he hurriedly returned to the great manor at the same time and tried to take away even a little of the land of the Southern Dark Spirit.
Take by force Because that is the rule of the demons.
However, the Grand Duke of West Blood and the Duke of East Hwangryeong are still staying in the capital.
On the surface, the time to celebrate His Majesty’s marriage has not yet ended, so how could he leave the place, but in reality, it was no different than helping the emperor to take control of the chaotic situation in the south.
And now you’ve taken my power too.
The count laughed heartily inwardly.
“Okay. There is no doubt about the loyalty of you and the other two great lords.”
I also had the work of the Southern Dark Spirit in mind.
Roan calmed down the thoughts that had spread to the south for a while. Because he wants to give time to the Count and the two young men who listen to him right in front of his eyes.
“When it comes to politics, sooner or later there will be an opportunity to gather and talk. But what I expect from you is greater than that.”
The expression of the three prisoners strangely changed.
Concern was on the Count’s face,
Anmut’s face was proud,
A look of curiosity appeared on Urtellia’s face.
“Jim has already crossed swords with the one he has to face.”
Roan’s brow furrowed slightly involuntarily. It was because he remembered the battle that was not easy.
The power of the Grand Duke of Darkness imbued with the divine power of ‘greed’ was strong. For a moment, Roan had mixed swords with the Grand Duke of West Blood and the Duke of Eastern Emperor. Even if it wasn’t his strength, he wasn’t an easy opponent.
The power of the Dark Duke imbued with divine power was beyond Roan’s expectations. So he struggled and lost.
‘It’s okay. I know now.’
Roan chewed his lips inwardly.
At that time, even Anmut was not there, and Fiora came in late. The power of the goddess was also at the bottom.
“His power was strong. We have to be prepared as much as possible.”
I don’t know what kind of body it will inhabit, but I must prevent the Grand Duke from joining the wizard as much as possible.
The borders are wide and may not be able to block it.
Then at least it should stop the wizard from gathering power.
The palace is the best site.
Because you will be able to control the person with the greatest authority in Merde.
You have to drive him out of there.
“And Jim knows your potential.”
The eyes of the two young beastmen twinkle at the emperor’s evaluation.
“If he develops properly, he will surely become a swordsman capable of opposing him.”
Roan’s words were full of confidence.
The emotions contained in his ‘appeal’ were fully conveyed to the three who listened to him.
The Count was trying to keep his complicated mind in mind. Perhaps, if the favorability rating was low, she would have refuted Roan’s words.
How did you meet blood relatives?
Her Emperor has her thoughts on putting her in danger.
However, her feelings of admiration for Roan,
And the instinctive attraction to strong forces produced a different result.
She turned to her brother’s potential for growth.
“You must be strong.”
“… It is true.”
Roan’s answer was heavy.
Strictly speaking, a collision between gods and gods.
Roan himself came to this world with the favor of the goddess and received special powers.
He wouldn’t be wrong if he said he was fighting against ‘greed’ for the sake of seeing.
But Anmut and Urtellia,
Count Bertellia or the women of Roan in front of him were strangers.
A target Roan must protect.
Is it really right to drag them into a fight in this distant realm?
I’ve already gone through the end in my last life.
“Because I can’t run away.”
A light smile appeared on the Emperor’s face.
“I have nowhere to go.”
Even the chance to try again is a miracle.
I can’t live a life that isn’t the Demon King again anyway.
Roan’s faint smile soon disappeared.
It’s because you know the reality is heavy.
“Aren’t there a lot of responsibilities above all?”
However, this time, he had no intention of solving something alone like before.
If God’s power shines alone,
The power of those who act for him is strong because they are many. Roan has become stronger through ties.
Ignoring it is foolish.
There is no shame in asking those who can lend their strength.
If only it could change the future.
If only we could all live together.
“So you should try.”
The black pupils in the count’s pupils widened.
It was because he knew what Roan was referring to as ‘taking responsibility’.
Demons.
The women he loves.
Myself.
Furthermore, even humans.
The emperor of the demons was trying to represent all life.
‘She really intends to act as a goddess.’
The determination in Roan’s words seeped into the Count’s heart.
It was a deeply unusual feeling for her, who had been struggling all her life to elevate her own status and find out where her brother was.
Altruism.
A strange feeling crept into her.
No matter how much she was a demon who pursued individual power, she definitely had the responsibility of being a great lord.
In the past year, commonalities with the reformed emperor have resonated.
In the meantime, the heightened liking and loyalty became a good medium.
So, deep in Roan’s heart,
The fundamental desire of life with strong ‘will’
It was delivered to Count Bertellia, Urtellia, and Anmut through Roan.
This will not be a futile struggle,
It was the ‘hope’ that we would survive.
“Do not worry. Your majesty.”
The smile on the face of the maskless count was like a sharpened blade.
Although he is a wizard, he is a great wizard who looks at the pinnacle and radiates energy that is second to none even that of a swordsman.
There was power in the count’s voice.
“I will give you victory.”
Roan replied as if he had promised.
He himself,
To his goddess who believed in him.
“I will.”
