I don’t know how things will go in the future. Maybe he really died.
But there was nothing to think about.
First, he obeys the call and speaks with the overlord.
At least in my opinion, it was best to see this crisis resolved there and tie the knot.
I first explained briefly to the siblings. Because they will need to know the circumstances in which they are going.
The fact that I am the 7th Lord of Calderic, the death of the 6th Lord Tyrant, and roughly what will happen next.
Rigon opened his mouth as he listened to the story, probably feeling the scale was too big, and Reef swallowed his saliva with a stiff face.
“…So you too are moving with me to the 7th Prince’s Spirit.”
Even if my situation was precarious right now, it would have been the safest for both of them to be by my side right now.
I thought about taking them apart with Ashel, but it would be useless if things go wrong during the emergency call anyway.
Fortunately, the two of them did not show any resentment or rejection of my words.
“No matter what, I have received a grace that cannot be repaid. Whatever you want, I will gladly follow your word.”
Reef said so, and Lygon said yes.
I stared intently at Rygon.
So, I didn’t even think about it again.
When I first found out her name was Riff, I immediately thought of Ryfrigon, but I dismissed it as just a coincidence. Because it had nothing to do with it.
But that her younger brother, this innocent-looking boy, was the Ryprigon…
‘I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not.’
In the end, was this the cause of the unknown memory?
Rescue and secure a boy who will fall into the future and become Refrigon.
········Oh, I don’t know. This issue was not something that could be resolved without further thought.
I shook my head and said to Reef.
“For now, both of you have to eat.”
Not only Lygon, but also Reef, who had been awake for a while, didn’t eat anything because only his brother was watching.
I made Baros prepare dinner.
But Reef also put aside his portion and tried to feed Rigon with soup first. It was such a terrible brotherly love.
Eventually, after Rigon took the soup bowl and started eating it herself, she also ate her own.
Gulpiro asked, watching him from the table outside the room.
“When are you going to leave?”
“When Lygon’s condition is restored to a certain extent.”
“Then it must be too late… Don’t you have to go home in a hurry?”
I shook my head.
There was nothing to change if you hurry up, so it didn’t matter.
Three days passed like that.
During my stay in the store, I could feel the occasional glances from outside, but that was all.
Meanwhile, Rygon’s condition was restored quickly enough to be able to move on his own.
He was still emaciated, but his complexion improved to the extent that it was incomparable to when he had just woken up.
‘I must move slowly.’
It’s time to return to the Seven Lords’ Order.
***
Burkhorn, the capital of the 7th lord Enrok.
After a considerable amount of time had passed, the carriage arrived at the Monarchy.
Although the monarchy had returned after more than half a year, there was no particular feeling of returning home.
It’s been awhile since I’ve stayed here in the first place.
The first person to greet me at the castle gate was Plotto, the butler.
He, who had always maintained a good poker face, seemed a little nervous.
Not only that, but the atmosphere of the knights standing in line was also the same, and the reason was obvious.
“Who came to the castle?”
“··········Yes, the Knights of the Overlord’s Castle visited just recently.”
It seemed that the news had already reached the overlord command and here.
There was no reason to think that the response was quick.
I didn’t act in a hurry, and the Overlord must have had enough time to understand the situation.
I also brought Gulfiro and Reef into the castle.
And I spent my time living casually.
Because if I wait, there will be a reaction from the other side soon, so there is nothing I can do.
In the meantime, I could feel the eyes constantly watching me from far away places around the castle.
I didn’t care because it was obvious that it was a watcher sent by the Overlord Castle. I might leave the castle, so I’ll keep an eye on it.
That was when about a fortnight had passed.
profit!
I got up from my seat and looked out the window at the faint sound of crying in the distance.
Three huge planes flying towards the castle from the other side of the sky came into view. It was a wyvern.
And the people who got on it…
‘I’m here now.’
I went out of the room and said to Ashel, who was at the door.
“Take your brother and sister and Gulpiro and wait in the castle. And if you hear bad news, do as I said.”
She looked like she had a lot to say, but then nodded her head with a firm face.
“······All right.”
I left her and went downstairs to the concourse.
The butler immediately approached me in the cool atmosphere outside and spoke to me.
“It is said that you came to deliver the overlord’s messenger.”
Soon after, three people appeared in the hall.
A man of dwarves and robes, and a knight.
I stood face to face with them and looked at them in turn.
There was a chill atmosphere in the central hall.
【Lv. 96]
【Lv. 89]
The two were familiar faces.
Retired 1st monarch and chief of staff Daypon.
【Lv. 95]
And the knight in black armor standing on the right is probably…
‘He’s the leader of Heukrin.’
The leader of the Knights of Blacklin, Kradiel.
If the Chief of Staff was the Overlord’s left arm, he was the Overlord’s right arm and the most powerful sword.
Unlike the monarchs, the Knights of Blacklin were loyal to the overlord and only obeyed her orders.
“The Overlord has declared an urgent call, Seventh Overlord.”
Armed with armor and a sword that emits a subtle five-color brilliance, the newcomer spoke first.
“I don’t think you’ll know why, so I’ll start by checking the facts. Are you the 7th Lord who fought the 6th Lord in Mahea City and killed him in the end?”
There was no point in denying it, so he nodded his head.
“Yes.”
“Why did you kill the 6th lord?”
“It doesn’t seem necessary to say that now.”
“Can I take that word as a meaning of obediently complying with the summons?”
Shintoo asked with sullen eyes. A force field roared like a haze around his armor.
The leader of Heuklin also gently squeezed the hand that was on the hilt of the sword.
A chilly yet suffocating tension permeated the hall.
I sat quietly facing them, then opened my mouth.
“okay.”
If it wasn’t for that in the first place, is there any way that he would have returned to the monarchy?
And it would have been well known to all three of them.
Then the chief of staff came forward and said:
“I heard that you saved a human brother and sister from Actipol’s match. If it has anything to do with them….”
“I’m the only one moving.”
I cut off the conversation adamantly.
He looked back at Xintou with a stiff face, and Xintou nodded.
“Okay. Then we’ll go straight to Overlord Castle.”
Have all the other monarchs gathered by now?
I was curious about that, but I didn’t have to ask, because you’ll find out soon anyway.
I looked at the chief of staff.
Returning to the castle was because it was obvious that he would use his teleport to move. As expected, he went out.
“Come over to me. I’ll teleport you.”
I walked over to the three of them and stood there.
Soon, with a huge flow of magical power, the surrounding field of vision was distorted.
Urgent Call (2)
Vision returned to normal, and what unfolded was a dark cavity.
The magic stones embedded in all directions, the magic circle under his feet, and the magicians in the robe surrounding him.
It was the scene when I escaped from the convoy and set foot in the Overlord Castle for the first time.
As I climbed the stairs leading to the ground and walked down the hallway, I felt a bit similar to when I first came to Overlord Castle. It feels like entering a tiger’s mouth.
And it wasn’t really that different.
Depending on the outcome of this emergency call, this place could be my execution site today.
However, unlike back then, the reason my mind is calm is probably because I was used to this world that much, and also because I had prepared enough before coming.
As I continue to act as a monarch, I seem to be assimilating even the inside of me a little.
I walked down the dark hallway and arrived at the place where the knights were lined up and standing.
All of them are wearing the same jet-black armor as the leader of Heukrin, and their levels are over 80. All of them seemed to be Knights of Blacklin.
And at the end of it is a huge door.
We walked past the drivers and stood right in front of the entrance to the conference hall.
‘······Well.’
A huge presence was felt beyond the door that could not be hidden.
At that moment, I was convinced that all the monarchs were gathered inside, and at the same time I realized it.
If things don’t go according to plan, there’s really no way to survive.
“This convening is open to hear the explanation of the 7th lord you killed the 6th lord.”
She opened the door and opened her mouth before going inside.
I glanced back at him.
“I don’t know if you know, but it’s pointless to speak a lie in front of the Overlord.”
“············”.
“I hope you will be able to honestly reveal your true feelings and persuade the overlord.
The 1st monarch’s new retirement was the most special among the nine monarchs.
First of all, he was the highest level among the monarchs, and above all, he was the first monarch to have maintained his position as a monarch since the founding of Calderik.
To that extent, he was no different than the largest pillar of Calderik, and he was a person who sincerely thought about Calderik’s peace more than anyone else.
Perhaps he, like me, didn’t want any more clashes from this incident.
Without answering, I looked forward again.
Shin Toe took a step forward and opened the door of Chairman Hee himself.
coo coo.
The door opened and the scenery inside the conference hall came into view.
A huge round table, and the monarchs sitting around him.
All their eyes were already on this side.
“············”.
From the newly retired 1st monarch standing next to me, to the 4th monarch, the dead king and the 9th monarch, the great king, who did not attend the previous meeting.
It wasn’t that much time had passed, so a few people must have been absent, but really, all the monarchs gathered.
In particular, I looked at the figure of the 9th lord who was filling up one side of the seat by himself.
A gigantic giant who appears to be at least 5 meters tall. One of the rarest races, the giant race.
Unlike the other monarchs, he sat alone in a huge chair that fit his body and looked down with calm eyes where I was standing.
No one was particularly hostile or murderous, but enormous pressure filled the conference hall.
Because all the monarchs seated in their seats were properly armed.
“Come on, Seven Lords.”
The overlord, sitting at the top of the round table, smiled and opened his mouth.
She was wearing the same black dress outfit she had seen before.
I was a little puzzled by the laughter that didn’t suit the situation at all and showed no hostility at all.
“You came earlier than expected. It seems that there were no major collisions?”
Gwangrang, who was resting his chin on the armrest, straightened his posture and said in a voice mixed with laughter.
I walked over to my seat and sat down with a blank expression.
Shintoe also sat in his seat, and the Chief of Staff and General Heuklin approached and stood behind the overlord seated.
There was silence in the meeting room for a moment.
Soon the overlord spoke again.
“Now, let’s get started, shall we all get together?”
She pointed to the seat of the Vienna Sixth Lord.
“The reason I declared an emergency call is because of the death of the 6th lord, as everyone knows. And it was the 7th lord who took the throne not long ago.”
His gaze shifted to me again.
“Do you have anything to correct for what I just said?”
“none.”
