59 – 59 – After that day (3).
” Ah.. Ah.. Ed..”
I couldn’t protect you.
I told him clearly.
No matter who the opponent is.
I promised to protect him so that no one can touch him even with a single finger.
During the imperial debutante, which he carried out unreasonably.
He was falling apart because of the hero.
Just to survive somehow. To live.
Even though he didn’t say sweet words that he loved me.
It was clear that it was to use himself.
With a male body.
Gathering up his courage, he proposed to her.
A man like that.
Being connected to someone you’ve had in mind since the moment you first met.
He was about to achieve something he had dreamed of for a long time.
The warrior who had always been on guard broke in and started a riot.
Let alone fighting such a hero alone, even if he joined forces with the people of the Grand Duchy of Frigid, it was not enough.
Not only that.
The true disaster was the devil who came from another dimension.
Charlotte had no choice but to be frustrated that day.
Since childhood, he was confident that he was better than anyone else.
I became infinitely smaller in front of her.
Gyeok (格). That itself was different.
Not even mana, but an unknown energy.
It was difficult even to stand properly on both feet.
I was afraid.
But to protect the one you love.
I tried to stand up to the devil who was talking nonsense.
I couldn’t do anything.
Not only myself, but also the people of Grand Duke Frigid’s residence.
And the warrior who stormed in and showed an overwhelming presence was easily defeated.
Because it was a hopeless situation with no answer in sight.
Despite being a man, he is very afraid.
They made a choice and sacrificed themselves to protect themselves.
Because his face, which was in pain and crying sadly, still lingered.
Charlotte’s life was becoming impoverished.
After that day.
Even though I closed my eyes.
At Archduke Frigid’s residence, we make a promise for the future.
Because they did not bury him, but kept his body in a coffin.
Charlotte wanted to stay at Archduke Frigid’s residence just to see that.
Because Emperor Elizabeth forcibly took him to her imperial palace.
I was just crying every day in my room, missing him.
Since it was clear that the Demon King would invade the Prince Frigid’s residence to retrieve his body, he begged several times to stay and lend a hand.
The imperial family and the church have already sent many troops to support the Grand Duchy of Frigid.
And Charlotte. Do you think it would help if you were there now?
Her emperor and her mother, Elisabeth, gave her her true advice.
It is very unfortunate that he passed away while he was about to get married.
As a person who will be responsible for the empire in the future. Let go.
Of course, Charlotte said, “What kind of nonsense is that?”
I asked if it would be enough for the hero to subdue the demon king and make a wish to the goddess.
Then Elizabeth said.
The hero whom I loathed and rejected so much.
From a warrior who made a wish to defeat the devil and bring him back to life.
Can you ask for him? Don’t try to act so shamelessly.
It wasn’t wrong. To the hero who subjugated a being that no one could do anything about.
To the hero who defeated the devil to bring back the person he loved.
Ask for him. It was a ridiculous request.
Elizabeth continued to speak to Charlotte who was speechless.
And… I am not sure that the hero will be able to defeat the Demon King.
Thanks to the hero’s actions, the demon king was able to retreat, but that was definitely…
I’m not sure, but the hero seemed quite unreasonable.
To the point where I thought it was already ruined.
In this way.
Because there was no hope left, and there was only a hopeless situation.
Charlotte is the princess of the empire who will inherit the throne, and she is a stronger woman than anyone else.
She shouldn’t have had to stay up all night in tears, missing him.
” Hmm.. Ed.. Edward.. “
She was unable to control her mind, so she just spent each day becoming more exhausted.
It was in the meantime.
Kugugugugugugugung!!!
” Earthquake!? “
Suddenly a tremendous tremor occurred.
Click!! Wow!!
Charlotte fell from the chair she was sitting on.
The furniture and windows in the room collapsed and broke, causing chaos.
The imperial palace, which is designed to withstand earthquakes better than any other place, is shaking like this.
Has a demon lord appeared in the imperial palace?
The earthquake was so strong that I couldn’t stand up properly.
But it didn’t last as long as I thought.
It was less than a minute. But because it was a very strong earthquake.
When I stood up and looked out the window, the outside was as messy as my room.
“What on earth is this?”
It didn’t seem like the devil had invaded the imperial palace.
Because an earthquake really occurred, all that was visible was the ground cracking and trees and buildings collapsing.
However, it was too short and strong to be considered a natural phenomenon.
” Find out what’s going on!! “
I shouted to the people waiting outside to understand the situation.
They moved quickly to carry out the princess’s orders.
.
.
.
After a while.
” Princess! As you instructed, we have been assessing the situation and will report on it! “
A maid hurriedly entered her room and reported to her.
” First of all, this sudden earthquake doesn’t seem to have happened in the imperial palace! “
“What do you mean by that? Go ahead and explain! “
I can’t believe such a strong earthquake occurred not only in the imperial palace but also in other places.
Has a disaster occurred in the world? Charlotte urgently ordered the maid to continue her explanation.
” Yes! An urgent report came that a large earthquake occurred without any warning, not only in the imperial palace but also in many other places! “
It is said that when a sudden disaster occurred, everyone quickly reported it through the communication crystal ball.
I briefly summarized the reports that are still coming in.
Not only the imperial family, the grand duchy, and the church. Magic Tower, Guild Alliance, and even other countries.
Not only the empire but the whole world was in chaos.
It doesn’t seem like there were any major casualties from the earthquake.
A strong earthquake struck the whole world.
Has a disaster happened to the whole world?
Because this kind of natural phenomenon has never been seen in long-standing records.
If we guess at the cause, there are only a few emerging beings who could do something like this.
It’s about a goddess and a demon lord.
However, I heard that the Goddess was injured by the Demon King, and the only time she will interfere by causing such a disaster in this world is when the people of this world kill the hero.
That’s why Charlotte thought it was because of the devil and asked the maid.
” How can something like this happen? Is it really because of the devil? Reports of seeing the Demon King!? “
” Not if you are talking about the person who showed up that day! But.. “
” But? Are you saying there is something there? Hurry up and speak up! “
When the maid answered that the devil had not appeared, she trailed off and her expression did not look good, so Charlotte had no choice but to urge her.
” It is said that gates have opened all over the world and unknown people have appeared.”
” Yes!? I beg your pardon! “
The gate is open.
Could it be referring to the gate through which the devil comes from another dimension like that day?
The maid continued to report to Charlotte, who was confused.
” And since all those who appeared were hostile, it is said that the situation was not properly understood because more than one person was harmed. “
It is said that gates were opened not only in the Empire but also in other countries, and the people around them suffered at the hands of those who came out of the gate.
There was no damage due to the earthquake, but along with it, damage due to the suddenly opened gate occurred all over the world.
However, it is said that not everyone suffers damage where the gate opens.
It was embarrassing because it attacked suddenly, but there were people around who were stronger than those who came out of the gate.
Rather, it is said that they succeeded in defeating or subduing them.
“I’m not sure what’s going on, but they say that those who came out of the open gate are not the devil..”
” Yes. It is said that not only humans came out, but other races also came out. Elves, beastmen, dwarves, etc..”
“What on earth is this..”
Is the world about to be destroyed?
It means that those who come out of the suddenly opened gate attack the world.
Although she was frustrated because she lost her loved one.
She is still a princess. She struggled because she could not take the current situation lightly.
To her like that.
” Princess.. And I apologize for telling you..”
She said as the maid hesitated.
” Yes? Do you have more to report? “
Charlotte had a bad feeling about something.
A maid who has performed various tasks by her side for a long time.
If you feel uncomfortable saying something like that and show hesitation,
” Is something going on with Ed!? “
Because it was about the person she loved.
” Well, that.. “
” Hurry up and speak up! The devil can’t believe it!..”
” That’s not it! That’s not it..”
” Then why are you dragging your feet? Hurry up and say something!! “
Fortunately, it did not happen that the Demon King took advantage of the confusion to steal his beloved body.

Then, I couldn’t figure out why the maid was hesitating, so she got angry and pressed for an answer.
” This is an urgent report from the imperial knights who applied to join the Grand Duchy of Frigid. “
Although the union through marriage could not be achieved.
Even before then, the imperial family was closer to the grand dukedom than anyone else.
More people than anyone else were dispatched to prepare for the devil’s invasion.
The urgent news from that person could not help but embarrass Charlotte.
” It is said that knights and maids, including Princess Lilith, escaped with Edward Frigid’s body. “
” What!? “
More than anyone else, prevent his body from being touched by the devil.
Until the hero defeats the devil, the people who must protect him more than anyone else.
This means that they ran away with his body.
Why?
No way, just like the demon lord’s crazy sexual tastes.
Edward died of shock.
Because I couldn’t come to my senses.
Is Princess Bracon doing something crazy?
“ Lilith!!!!!! ”
Charlotte had no choice but to shout loudly in anger.
“ Ed!! No!!!! ”
He is the person who closed his eyes while suffering more than anyone else.
But he has to be humiliated even after death. He just couldn’t get over it.
We need to get him back quickly.
Even if he is revived, he is not in a situation where he can be reunited.
Charlotte couldn’t let him go.
“ Mother… No, I have to go see His Majesty the Emperor!!! ”
