Chapter 203 – 16. Waiting (18)
Three months passed, autumn passed, and winter came.
Even the year has changed. It had been over six months since Valdes had infiltrated the continent and started working. Age was one of the many standards discussed long ago by continental nations. One year passed and everyone grew older by one year.
The day after the peaceful New Year’s Day.
Finally, the news that Valdes had been waiting for spread far and wide across the continent.
In order to defeat the newly born darkness, two warriors descended to the Goddess Church, and an event is held to save the two warriors’ colleagues. The date is 2 weeks later. It seemed generous, but it was an infinitely insufficient time for people from all over the continent to gather.
However, it was enough for aspirants with money and skills to gather from all over the world.
Furthermore, the leaders of various countries who had heard about the summoning of the hero had already prepared. They didn’t know the date, but everyone was thinking about recruiting colleagues. Therefore, internally, the number of people to be sent was selected in advance and waiting for news.
Of course, there were many exceptions.
First of all, in the case of Ulstro Kingdom, Valdez, not Queen Beatrice, led the group. On the surface, it was known that the queen did it. In fact, she influenced all but a few important ones.
And the Kingdom of Ventorino was unable to prepare for the collapse of King Mark, whom they knew in advance. Before that, I prioritized the talks because I still had plenty of free time, but I ended up not being able to do anything. Even after hearing the news, there was nothing to prepare at the royal level.
Then there was the United Republic. However, Angelina, the elven archer, did not inform the other councilors of what she had heard. Even to her race her, the elven councillors, and the chairwoman, the dragon.
The reason was simple.
“There’s nothing good about having other guys become the hero’s companions.”
Inside the palace where wood and stone were beautifully harmonized, Angelina murmured.
Being a member of the warrior’s party was a considerable honor in itself and a way to make one’s name known. And depending on his performance, it was possible to rise to a high position that he could not have dreamed of with his current position.
Just like they did
“A warrior, and a warrior party…”
Angelina looked around her with grave eyes.
She is now in a place she could never have imagined she was 18 years old, no 19 years ago.
The palace of the High Elf Queen (King) in the World Tree.
Elves were a funny race that served their own queen in the United Republic, a republic that was neither an empire nor a monarchy. Moreover, since the High Elf Queen is not even a member of the parliament, she is a symbolic being who has no official position in the eyes of the nation as a whole. However, the real power of the High Elf Queen far exceeded that of most legislators.
The World Tree, loved the most by all the elves that exist in the world. The only building allowed to be built within it. Among the high elves, who are called the royal family of the elves, the supreme being, the queen, stayed here. As much as that, this place was a holy place among the holy places that ordinary people can’t even be able to do it.
It was not a place that only the herbalist’s daughter could come and go.
But she herself was different.
After the war, he returned to his country as a hero and became a leading figure in the country. Since then, he has continued to win and win, and has a very deep personal relationship with the High Elf Queen, eventually becoming one of the members of the High Elf Council.
That’s what happened in just 20 years. It might not be true for a race with a short lifespan, such as humans or beastmen, but 20 years was not a long time for a long-lived species such as an elf. I could have lived another 100 years or more.
“Hehe, kyahahaha!!”
I burst into laughter at the happy future just by imagining it.
But to achieve that, he had to acquire more and more power.
“The best thing is for our elves to join the hero. If this doesn’t work, we have to bring the party of warriors to our side. If it goes wrong and elves from the hostile faction join…”
The forehead is furrowed.
It was a terrible dream. Already, the number of people who were suspicious of his relationship with the High Elf Queen began to increase. Here, the high elf queen should be raised as a member of the council, or the faction that wants to establish an independent kingdom from the republic, etc. As the world became more comfortable, strange people kept popping up.
A party of warriors was a must to build their own world.
“It’s really hard to eat well and live well… Don’t you think so too?”
Angelina muttered to herself, then lowered her head and looked down at her legs her.
“Whoops…! Whoops…!”
There sat an elf woman on her knees, tied around her body with tight leather clothes and ropes.
Not the method used to tie up prisoners or criminals, but training through pleasure. Or the method of tying as part of play. Here, through the sigh of pleasure flowing through the elf’s gag, it was possible to guess the relationship between the two women.
Angelina giggled and crossed her legs and kicked her with her foot off the ground, kicking her.
“Huh? I want you to answer me? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating. Seriously, who would think she’s a queen when she sees her like this? No matter how you look at it, she’s not a queen, but a slave. Kyahaha!”
“Whoops…! Whoops…!”
The elf woman, no, the high elf queen, tied to her provocative remarks her, let out a puff of joy.
There was nothing wrong with her remarks that she disparaged herself. More than 5 years have passed since this relationship continued. Angelina, the High Elf Queen, had already become accustomed to what the Queen said. I wasn’t used to it, but rather excited.
Knowing this well, Angelina did not hesitate to use abusive language against the High Elf Queen.
“Ha, I really don’t know why the world bothers me like this.”
Angelina sighed and looked away from her queen and lifted her head.
Even then, taking off her shoes and pinching the high elf queen’s bare nipples with her toes was a feat she had never done before. As it was, she paid no attention to what the high elf queen was doing under her.
Even as all the elves envy their queen her, who lies on her knees, moaning choked with pain and pleasure, spraying lewd-smelling female juices from her crotch to the floor. For Angelina, this was all too natural.
“By the way, the twin warriors… And the hiding darkness… Hmm.”
She thought.
What on earth is the darkness hiding in the continent, so why did the goddess bring down two warriors, and even twins? Even in the war decades ago, she was belatedly.
That really got on Angelina’s nerves.
‘Whatever it is. The things that stand in my way… I’ll get rid of them all.’
Angelina, the elf archer of the former warriors’ party, made such a pledge.
Just like when you killed a warrior by all means.
The emperor sat on a chair in his office and stared at the wall.
His eyes contained a continental map that filled an entire wall.
Right. Right. Right.
The habit of tapping the armrest of a chair with the tip of the middle finger, which appears without fail when lost in thought, was manifested. The emperor was now deep in thought.
It had to be. This time was a huge obstacle that interfered with the great cause he was planning to unify the continent.
Of course I didn’t know. Roughly 4 months ago, the 4 elders of the Imperial Magic Tower asked for an audience. It was not uncommon for mages of the Mage Tower to ask for an audience. It is also usually the owner of the mage tower. At the moment when I was interested, I heard the story from the 4 elders.
When he first heard the story, he was taken aback.
The 4th elder was in a hurry and told himself that a hero had appeared.
At that time, the hero that came to the emperor’s mind was Pedro.
I soon found out it wasn’t him, but he still hasn’t forgotten it. As soon as he thought of Pedro, he heard the thumping sound of his heart. It was a great humiliation for the emperor. He is the pinnacle of the strongest nation on the continent, and he is afraid of humans who are no longer dead.
But at the same time, Pedro, the warrior, was no longer there. The only man who could stand in the way of his cause. A long time ago, he plotted and eliminated them. Maybe Pedro could have died if he wasn’t himself, but the Emperor liked certainty.
Anyway, the 4th elder said that two new warriors were summoned.
At that moment, what the emperor remembered was the black magician in front of him.
It was also true that the 4 elders of the Mage Tower were demons, not humans. That’s also a strong demon to the level of an executive in the demon king’s army. However, on very rare occasions, the demons betrayed the demons and sided with humans.
However, he quickly denied his idea of his. The relationship with the 4 elders was already thoroughly bound by contract magic. No matter how good he was at black magic and possessed a special ability as a rare tribe among the demons, there was no way he could betray him.
Crucially, he was an extreme coward.
“There are two heroes. And they were summoned from another world. For some reason.”
There were so many things that I didn’t understand common sense.
So it was even more confusing.
The size of the two variables intervening in the plan could not be measured. Thanks to this, many of his plans were disrupted, and it was difficult to prepare properly. It was rather difficult to draw the big picture because the variable width was so large.
The emperor soon found himself unwittingly pulled out of his anguish.
“Your Majesty. The 4th Princess asked to see you.”
“Well…?”
It was rare.
To think that Theresia was visiting her office her.
“Stop by.”
The Emperor gladly let her into her.
The red and white door opened and a girl with long, golden and gray hair unique to the royal family appeared. The 4th princess, Theresia de Jacques, who maintained an expressionless expression as if she had no emotions, cautiously entered her and greeted the emperor.
“His Majesty… I see you….”
“Yeah, what’s up?”
“…”
Despite the emperor’s question, Theresia hesitated and could not answer easily.
“It’s okay. Let’s talk comfortably.”
“Your Majesty… The… Holy Kingdom… Can we go too… Can’t we… ?”
“Haha.”
Seeing the 4th princess shyly asking questions, he quickly realized what was going on. It was even weirder not knowing because this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.
“And that child instigated you.”
“… !! That… ! Ah, no… It’s… “
“Whoops. Don’t worry. I’m not scolding you. But this time Jim can’t help either. You won’t be able to participate in the event anyway, so I can’t bother sending you guys away.”
“… Yes… That, then… “
In the end, she did not achieve what she wanted, bowed slightly to the emperor, and left her office. Even after her 4th princess Theresia had left, the emperor looked at her door with satisfaction. But that’s for a while. In an instant, his expression changed from normally stern to blunt and cold.
“We can’t send out precious power right now.”
It was not because of his fatherly affection that the emperor had a warm expression toward his second daughter.
It was because it was the best way to draw her likes her from Theresia, and also to use her. If she could easily control Theresia by suppressing her strongly, the emperor would have chosen that method. That was the way he, an emperor before his father his, treated his children his.
It was the same with Theresia’s attitude to her.
It was disrespectful to speak sparsely in front of the emperor and not to respond quickly to questions. However, instead of urging her to Theresia, the emperor comforted her with her affectionate appearance to her.
In fact, this was also because Theresia had a great talent for her magic her, otherwise she would quickly get irritated and would not even bother acting. In fact, she did to most of the children under the emperor now. Only 4 out of 19 children received special treatment from the emperor.
2nd Prince, 7th Prince, 1st Princess, and 4th Princess.
To the rest, once upon a time, I revealed my personality.
The emperor turned his chair again and looked at the wall where the map hung.
“I’m still running out of time. But I’m not in a hurry. Jim has at least 20 more years to live. So five years… Wait five years, continent. Jim will unite you.”
In the emperor’s eyes as he gazed at the continental map, a burning desire blazed.
