Chapter 132 – Episode 131. Your Country Will Not Forget You
I could have guessed what had happened, given the circumstances, but when I saw what the fake Astrid did upon waking up, and what Verathien said— conquered two women, no, conquered two souls because they were one body. The words convinced me at last.
No matter how prepared he is, his anger does not subside easily.
He should have been my own man.
Leopold should have been my only man.
Astrid knew too.
If it weren’t for the full cooperation of the false Astrid, the woman who was him, this marriage would not have even been established in the first place.
Everything would have been destroyed without even getting engaged, let alone getting married.
The plan to send Leopold to the academy and visit him every weekend,
For her, the plan that she thought about for days and thought over and over again,
Looking back now, she knows now that she was like a direct carriage going straight to the breakup.
Being able to connect with Leopold like this would have been impossible in the first place had it not been for the fake Astrid.
So she thought she had to pay for it.
She helped me a lot and did a lot of things that would have been impossible without her.
But what you are prepared for and what you actually experience is different.
Astrid clenched her fists, and she clenched, her knuckles groaning.
She didn’t like Vera Shien’s reflection in her eyes, Vera Shien’s calm and weak appearance.
Thanks to Vera Shien, she was able to wake up anyway, and although she’s not in her control, though, though, if it weren’t for her, she might —
Shouldn’t the first night with Leopold be hers?
I liked it first
I liked it first
I liked it for a long time.
If it wasn’t for that fucking demon tribe, thinking that maybe these things wouldn’t have happened in the first place, that anger burns so black that I can’t control it properly.
She said that if it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t be possible in the first place,
Had it not been for her, her engagement would have been broken, let alone married,
She said that if it wasn’t for her, she would have been taken away by another young lady without doing anything.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was hard to bear.
I should have been there
You should have rolled around with me,
Leopold’s first experience should have been me.
The thought started to soar.
“Astrid.”
And there was a hand holding her waist like that.
There was a voice in my ear calling her name affectionately.
“… Majesty?”
Her wildly raised eyes faded like ghosts, and soon a blush bloomed on Astrid’s embarrassed face.
“Astrid, calm down. Aren’t I here?”
“I, Your Highness… “
No anger, no resentment, no jealousy.
Disappears in an instant
Her Highness Leopold wrapped her arms around my waist.
Leopold whispered my name in my ear.
His Highness Leopold whispered kind words in my ear.
“… Yes yes.”
Emotions should be revealed, not hidden.
Love should be shown, not hidden.
What she learned from the fake Astrid, she began to use without regret.
In a soft voice,
With a gentle and carefree gesture,
I sat down lightly in the spot where I stood up before I knew it.
“That’s right, Your Highness.”
Leopold quickly put a leash on the leopard and even calmed it down.
“I won’t explain everything. But it’s still not a good place. I will explain everything soon.”
… Astrid thought it wouldn’t be too late to get angry after hearing all the explanations.
‘Let’s talk later.’
No answer came back.
Even so, Astrid thought she must have heard it.

“Wow, that’s great. Emily, your dad is amazing.”
Emily, including Violet, and her other students gathered in one place and looked up blankly.
The bloody curtain, which had not even been scratched even when beaten so hard inside, is slowly cracking.
– Damn…
The curtain began to make a pitiful sound as if something was about to break, and soon the incontinence spread like a spider’s web.
“Because he is my father.”
You can’t be unaware that the magic is running out.
It was a curtain that blocked all signs, as well as sound, but as it cracked, the sharp sound of falling on top of it and the sound of vibration from being hit by the curtain flowed in without being able to hide it.
I thought it was going to crack, but now it stopped again.
The sharp incontinence began to heal as it was slowly filled without a sound, but the shocking sound penetrated even faster than that.
“Beware of your surroundings! Don’t get out of this place!”
Even the estimated 3,000 cadets and even the commanders who lead such cadets were gathered here.
To say it was miraculous, or to say it was the result of the rigorous training they had received, the cadets suffered a considerable number of injuries, but there were no fatalities.
The uninjured cadets gathered to support the injured cadets themselves.
– Bang!
Again, a strong impact shook the curtain.
The cracked curtain seemed to crack even more, noticeably, and the sunlight from outside seemed to shine through.
“Now, hold on a little longer! The veil is about to break!”
Along with Ortega’s booming voice, smiles were drawn on the faces of the cadets.
It’s been a long time.
It was a time spent slaughtering monsters while being confined by this veil for an uncountable number of days.
Now that the curtain is broken, you can finally get out.
Finally out
The cadets smiled at such hope.
– Kwak!
There was a huge explosion sound that was incomparable to the moment before.
Without a blasphemy, now—
“Duh, it’s pierced… !”
A hole as big as an adult man was pierced.
It’s big enough to see from a distance, so it’s even bigger when you see it up close.
And around the open hole, now quite thick cracks are spreading.
Gold spread out in all directions in a bizarre pattern like a spider’s web, and finally the color of the bloody curtain began to fade.
“The veil… “
A sigh spread among the cadets to the surroundings.
It was a clear, bloody, red curtain that gradually faded and finally—
“… You brought all the capital’s defense forces, yes.”
Ortega’s murmur.
That much, the majesty of the troops stationed outside this academy was great.
There was a command barracks at the forefront, and in front of it stood the emperor Kreuz von Einthafen.
One step after that, Wolfgang von Mitterien stood on the right, and Weissik von Jorgien stood on the left.
After that, thousands of troops lined up in full armour.
A heavy knight armed with heavy armor stands in the front row,
After that, the relatively lightly armed magic knights with sharp swords prepared to enter, following the heavy and long-term knights.
After that, the wizards and rangers were fully prepared for fire support in the rear.
“Cadets, everyone stand!”
Ortega’s booming voice rang out.
The curtain was gone, and the cadets, who had been distracted for a moment with the joy of being able to escape, stood upright in line with the cadets on both sides as if they finally came to their senses at the voice.
“Salute to His Majesty, the great Emperor of the Einhafen Empire, who allowed us to breathe fresh air again!”
– Chuck!
– Chuck!
– Chuck!
– Chuck!
The brisk sound of the heels of the boots colliding echoed.
More than 3,000 cadets, and the instructors and executives of the command center who commanded them, corrected their postures in perfect order,
Simultaneously place his right fist on his left chest.
In group salutes, slogans are not attached.
Ortega, who was standing facing the cadets, turned around and faced the emperor.
He, who represents the academy, also put on the heel of his military boots and put his right fist on his left chest, alerting the emperor.
“Insect! Castle!”
The Emperor looked at Ortega for a moment.
Then he turned his gaze and scanned the cadets lined up behind Ortega.
It looks like there are wounded here and there, but even those wounded are doing their best to salute.
These are the people who will carry the future of Einhafen.
Einhafen would never abandon such students.
No matter what happens, no matter what foreign exchange happens, the existence of a country depends on its soldiers.
A soldier’s combat power begins with the belief that the nation will never abandon him.
No matter what the circumstances, the country does not forget.
No matter what difficulties there are, the country will not give up.
Will surely come to the rescue
No one dies on the battlefield alone—
That was the basis of Eindhafen’s treatment of soldiers.
Even the cadets who have not yet been commissioned are the ones who will become the future of Eindhafen.
The fact that the emperor himself led the capital’s defense forces, and he himself came out to rescue them, accompanied by two of the pillars supporting Einhafen—
The cadets’ loyalty to the country and the imperial family was welling up.
“… Loyalty.”
Only then did the emperor receive the salute.
“All right!”
Likewise, the cadets loosened their salute posture with a sigh.
His eyes were looking straight at the Emperor, Wolfgang, and Weizik, shining with respect.
After a moment of silence, the Emperor spoke.
“Everyone, a lot of work. There is no need for me to speak to those who suffered. Duke of Mitterien, divide the capital defense zone and help with the cleanup inside the academy. Marquis Georgesien, are there any disturbing movements near the academy?”
At that question, Bai Zeke shook his head.
“Good. Then let the cadets rest too.”
