Chapter 583 – 47. Dejac Empire – Empire, Finish. (2)
The Desak Empire was divided.
This fact was clear and obvious even though only two days had passed since the rebellion.
It was a rebellion that began not in any other place but in the heart of the empire, its institutions.
At least three forces.
However, none of the forces have been suppressed yet.
A situation that immediately sent the citizens’ expectations and joy, which had been heightened by the festival, to an abyss.
However, neither one of the rebels was able to gain the upper hand.
The problem is that there are three forces dividing the system, excluding the emperor.
If it was an even number like two or four, we would have held hands and hit the opponent, but three is a very ambiguous number.
All three rebel groups have similar overall force sizes, so if they fight against one side, the damage will be great.
Is there anyone left just watching this?
Of course, it’s a no-brainer.
Therefore, the rebels were first trying to share the system under tacit agreement.
“Please, Lord Magic Tower, please honor our second princess, the true heir of the empire…”
“I refuse.”
“…I believe it, yes?”
“Isn’t this a recruitment offer? Asking you to join.”
“That…”
“Our Imperial Magic Tower will remain neutral as we said on the first day. And, as you may have heard from the wizards who left here, we will be leaving the island.”
“No, that’s… If that’s the case! At the very least, we are the home of the Magic Tower.”
“I’ll refuse that too.”
“Ah…”
2 Natalie, the Magic Tower lord, who once again refused to recruit the princess rebels and sent her envoy back.
Once she was alone in the tower’s main room, she leaned back in her chair with a sigh.
‘Don’t bother.’
During the three days of her rebellion from her first day to this day, the number of her rebel emissaries who visited her numbered a dozen.
Although no royal family members have come yet, they have come to the level just below that level.
Everyone encouraged us to join, but of course, there was no room for consideration, so we sent them all back.
After receiving her rejection, there was even a nasty guy who tried to manipulate the magic tower building itself.
Since the Magic Tower was almost in her control, she easily blocked it and banned the 2nd Prince’s forces from entering.
“Ha, I thought all I had to do was prepare to move.”
As we were preparing to move, pushing away all the rebels with such resolute determination, a small problem arose.
There were people running away to the Magic Tower to avoid the rebels.
Most of them were merchants, knights, wizards, academy professors, and nobles without estates who did not want to get caught up in this incident.
Even some members of the royal family and government officials took refuge.
Because there was a large-scale purge of the emperor, the majority of the remaining royal family members are his direct blood relatives.
That is, children.
There are many royal family members who are not even worthy of attention as competitors, but like some dukes, they can take advantage of the royal family.
Because of this, the three rebel groups gave us uncomfortable looks every day.
‘I feel like I want to kick them all out… ‘Ugh.’
Natalie had a pretty straightforward personality, but she was secretly weak in his approval.
How can people, including members of the royal family and empresses, kneel down and pray?
Some even begged to become magic disciples.
“Haha. Thank you for your hard work.”
“…Valdes.”
Crucially, this man who had just appeared, whom she loved, wanted it.
Valdez also knows very well that his request was unreasonable in a different way than moving.
So, as if to show her cuteness, he walked up to her and kissed her on Natalie’s cheek.
“This doesn’t mean I’m tired.”
“Isn’t it still better?”
“Yeah… That’s right♡”
This time, instead of cheeks, they kiss lips and their tongues mix deeply.
Valdez walked away from the deep kiss that could have gotten heated and sat down on the sofa.
“How are you preparing to move?”
“It’s going well. It’ll probably be over in three days, maybe two.”
“That’s a good thing.”
If it had proceeded as planned, it should have been done a little earlier, but the preparation time was longer due to the increased number of people to be taken.
Naturally, they would move to magic.
Large-scale space transfer magic.
The location was considered between Ulstro and Ventorino, and after much deliberation, it was decided on the Kingdom of Ventorino.
The distance is a little closer there, and it is suitable for sending people from the Demon King’s Territory to help with moving preparations.
“What can I help you with?”
“No. The Magic Tower is a type of very large artifact mixed with all kinds of magic and techniques. It is difficult to transfer it unless I have officially taken over the authority. If someone else intervenes, it will probably become complicated and cause problems.”
“That’s a shame. I could have just left it behind.”
“Haha…”
Natalie laughing with an embarrassed expression.
She originally planned to leave the Magic Tower as is and only move the people and items inside.
But is it because of the regret of leaving the empire?
I kept getting more and more concerned, and eventually decided to transfer entirely with the Magic Tower.
“Ah. How is everyone doing? I’ve been busy so I barely saw you.”
Natalie spoke out of embarrassment.
Anyway, it would have been better for Valdez to move to the Magic Tower at least a day or two later.
Support has been promised, but how many resources will it take to build a huge tower and perform magic processing?
Even if the entire facility is moved, some facilities will need to be repaired and reinstalled, but it is cheaper than doing it from scratch.
I felt a little disappointed that I had to do this even though there was no need to be sorry.
‘This can’t be helped.’
“Yes. Everyone is doing well. We are getting along well in Vilma, Adele, and Tessa’s room downstairs.”
The hero party they both mentioned.
All the members who helped him, including Hero Kang Yu-ri, came to the magic tower together.
In addition, the succubus secretary Irena, the spirit priest Yueli, and the demon intelligence unit all left the island.
Since the work was roughly finished, there was no need to go further.
Because the system itself is confusing, there is a risk of finding traces if you wander into strange places.
In any case, the rebels will soon retreat to their respective factions.
Since the status of the system was rapidly declining, there was no reason to leave manpower behind.
It was also necessary to prepare for war that would occur within a few months.
“That’s a good thing…Ah.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I completely forgot. He was among the royal family members who took refuge here.”
“That kid? I don’t know who you’re talking about.”
Valdes frowned at her and tried to recall the royal family she had mentioned.
But no face in particular came to mind.
The royal family was mostly thought of as objects of use, and the only person they were deeply connected to was Theresia.
“Why, we were together at the academy.”
“…Ah.”
Belatedly, a face she had put away in a corner of her head came to mind.
I’m sorry for trying to take advantage of her, but other than her face, I don’t remember how old she was or what her name was.
“There is also a daughter from the Lacoco family who is close to that princess.”
“Indeed. Did you get sick of it all and run away?”
“Maybe so.”
“Hmm. I don’t think there’s any need to meet them. I’ll see you when I get the chance. …But did I tell you about them?”
The princess was appointed by the emperor rather than by him.
He also tried to use the general’s daughter, Elim La Coco, but she stopped.
Since both of them had already stopped paying attention, there was no reason to get involved with Natalie or talk to her.
She laughed as Valdes questioned her.
“I heard about it from my cute students.”
“…Haha.”
When did we last talk like that again?
Adele and Theresia must have also heard about it through Wilhelmina and others.
Maybe the women talked about a lot of different things when he wasn’t around.
“Huh. I really need to be careful. Everyone but me is fooling me.”
“Ah, what a joke. It’s just that members of the same harem are friendly with each other.”
“Well… Let’s say so.”
Since it wasn’t that bad, I decided to pay no attention to it.
Natalie is probably busy too, so she’s about to go back downstairs.
“Ah. I want to ask you something.”
Natalie caught him as he got up from the sofa.
“What are you doing, General?”
“Escalor.”
“Yes, that friend. That’s right. He’s not even a general anymore.”
“Unlike you, who continues to be the owner of the magic tower.”
“Hehe. I’m going to make it a permanent job.”
Valdez laughed at the light joke.
He thought about the former General, Escalor Destrop, whom Natalie had asked about.
Two days ago, after the rebellion broke out and Valdes fucked his princess sister in the emperor’s office.
She secretly sneaked in there according to her promise.
It was impossible to stop Escalor in a situation where the island’s troops could not even prevent escapes and a rebellion broke out.
She came inside after Valdes cleared the air with purification magic.
After the princess sisters left first, the emperor collapsed on the bed with only the two of them left.
“Ha. What is this?”
“Hmm. I’m sorry. I didn’t do it myself, but I gave it a little taste and it tasted great.”
“…”
Escalor did not respond but just glared at the emperor.
She can tell at a glance the emperor’s physical condition.
Healing microscopic wounds in the fragile brain is impossible even with divine power.
Therefore, I was confident that the emperor would never open his eyes of his own accord again.
“I’m in vain.”
“Escalor.”
“I did those things just to die like this, no, to end up like this…”
She quietly closes her eyes without continuing her words.
Valdez could also empathize with how complicated Escalor’s feelings were, so he kept her mouth shut.
‘If I had known this would happen, I would have saved him for a while.’
Because he knew the sweetness of revenge very well, she felt even more sorry.
“…It’s okay.”
“Uh?”
“It would be more foolish to hold on to a guy like this for too long.”
“…Good choice.”
“Joy.”
Escalor snorts his way through the emperor’s body.
Soon a ring was in her hand.
It was her leash that the emperor always carried in his arms after the doppelganger incident.
Escalor, who had taken what she needed, roughly turned her body and glared at Valdes.
“You’ll have to be nice to me.”
“…I saw it.”
“Hmph. Since you broke one of your promises, we’ll have to spar with you until I get sick of it.”
“Well, I saw that too. As long as it doesn’t get in your way, I’ll do my best to fight.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
The Empire’s general, Escalor Destrop, who had a dragon heart and dragon blood transplanted into his body through human experimentation, left Dejac with that.
To further strengthen your mind and body, and to fight in the future war.
I passed through the Kingdom of Ventorino and headed to the Demon Castle.
“That’s pretty much it.”
“I see. Then we’ll meet again.”
“Yes.”
Natalie smiled as she saw Valdez nodding.
It couldn’t be possible that the two people who were said to be the greatest force of the Dezak Empire would transfer to the Demon King’s Army.
It was truly ironic.
‘In the end, it probably means that it will fall into the hands of the continent’s demons, no, it will belong to Valdez.’
Is there really a country that can stop the power prepared by the demons?
Although excitement is not good, she did not think there was any possibility of failure.
