Episode 69
##069
Rian bowed her head at Theresia’s warm hospitality.
“thank you. Her Majesty.”
“ruler. here. I will invite you to the imperial palace.”
She led them by automaton. Its size was considerable, perhaps because it was used for royal ceremonies.
As much as the limousine is attached to both sides.
A total of 8 auto horses were also pulled.
“Hwang Gong. your majesty.”
Lian was honored to stand by the Empress.
Who dares to stand side by side with the Emperor of the Empire?
It was visible to all.
Auto Horse was able to open the roof depending on the situation.
aaa!!!
When the carriage started, people cheered.
Lian and the prince stood side by side on either side of the empress.
Boaaang~!!
In the sky, wind-attributed warriors passed by and scattered pollen.
Something was being attached to the equipment, but later that developed and the Air Force was created.
Boom~! Barbabam!!
The music was long and the road ahead was clear.
The capital of the empire was beautiful.
SSR+ level ruler Theresia Harves.
I could see how well she managed the capital.
For reference, this country is at this level even though it has had fewer recent wars.
“It is a beautiful capital. your majesty.”
“Thanks for the compliments. count. Perhaps when a new palace is built over there, it will become the best cultural city in the Yul Continent.”
Fraudulent governance and fraudulent beauty.
She still shone so much that it was hard to see her as a married woman with several children.
but. Among users, things that are not considered SSR+ level are mentioned.
It’s a summer palace ironwork that will be built over the next few years.
Huge scale with 1,441 rooms.
What is more surprising is that the palace was completed during the war.
What if the money to build that palace had been invested in more armaments for the war against Roysen? at the same time as asking questions.
How good must one be in domestic affairs to build a palace during a war? I think.
Of course, she had a goblin pouch.
He is the husband of Daryl, who was brought in as his son-in-law, and the prisoner of the Emperor of Baji of the Sinsenrom Empire.
Revealing women and other abilities are close to the bottom, but if you ask who is the Hand of Midas in this game, it is definitely him.
Money explodes with just a touch.
Tsutsutsutsutsu.
The carriage arrived at the imperial palace gracefully.
The interior also ran to the extreme of splendor.
As if proving that the Habs family is the best in the Yul Continent.
“It is expected that the journey will not be easy. I will take a moment to catch my breath and wait in the audience room.”
“Thank you for your consideration. your majesty.”
“then. I’ll be looking forward to meeting you soon.”
She smiled and left with Leopold.
‘It’s not normal after all.’
Taking a moment would not be to be considerate of Lian, but to hear more from Leopold.
After that, we will have an evaluation and we will give Lian’s treatment.
“I will meet you here. Your Excellency Count.”
“Yes, yes, go quickly.”
As the attendant guided Lian, I felt strange.
I thought he was a child with a county title, but he looked like a harem boy rather than a dignified person.
If it wasn’t for the clothes, I would have been really mistaken.
“excuse me. Uncle servant. Send them this way when they arrive.”
“ah… All right. Your Excellency Count Leon.”
After a while, the party also arrived and were sent to the VIP waiting room where Lian was.
“I’m sorry. Even if you take off just one decoration over there, you will be able to play and eat for a month.”
The vice-captain looked at the decorations with greedy eyes.
“hehehe. If the alarm goes off and you want to be dogged, do it.”
“Who really took it? Tsk.”
Pretending otherwise while drooling in regret.
The decorations here were all luxury items.
I would have given you the best place in the VIP waiting room.
“Did you bring more than that?”
“yes. Confucius. There was a scuffle with the priests of the god of the sun at the entrance, but since it is a gift for the empress, the bishop will observe it later.”
“I’m sure you’re interested in it because it’s related to the goddess of spring.”
If you become a bishop, you will immediately recognize the nature of the divine being.
By the way, what Seina, the bishop of the god of war, brought was a baby statue brought from a fishing village.

office.
Theresia and Leopold were alone there.
This place was chosen because it was coated with various security magic.
“I’m glad Leopold is safe. I was worried when I went missing because I was not feeling well since I was little.”
“I am healthy now!”
“okay. I saw. The way I used to run bravely. Did you become a mana user?”
Leopold nodded.
“The captain said that the journey would be difficult. No, Count Leon was considerate.”
“It’s not easy for our family’s lineage to become a user. You must have spent quite a bit of money.”
From the point of view of the imperial family, it was a small amount of money, but to an ordinary aristocrat, a few thousand pennies was money that could not be ignored.
“yes. I generously spent money to feed him the elixir.”
Hearing that, my appreciation for Lian grew.
Still, she is the ruler of the empire.
I couldn’t judge everything by emotion alone.
“Son. Now let’s talk. your adventure… … .”
At her words, Leopold brought up an old story with tears in his eyes.
It was despair and despair until Lian appeared.
“what?! pirate captain… ? And protecting you from the power of the pirate island is not an ordinary distribution.”
“Earl Leon is not a person that can be described in terms of distribution. mother.”
As Leopold continued to speak, her mouth gaped more and more in surprise.
No matter how much he admires Lian, I think Leopold would have exaggerated his young mind, but even taking that into account, he would.
‘war god!’
It was like seeing the god of war itself descending to the ground.
In particular, his performance in the naval battle between the Serang Empire and the Ingleson Kingdom was an achievement worthy of being entrusted with.
It was a bit embarrassing to have his own son put up as a shield.
Actually, she didn’t know.
If Lian had made up his mind, the naval battle could have ended in a victory for one side rather than a draw.
If that was the case, of course, Leopold would not have defeated both forces temporarily.
“what? Didn’t you just penetrate the Sul area?”
This time it was about the Schul area.
Leisurely passing through, the prince marched in the name of the Sinsenrom Empire to three representative cities.
It was a play on the kingdom of Roysen.
“oh my god.”
Archduke Charles led his elite soldiers and marched to the n9932-dana135 fortress.
Count Ruddown gathered the conscripted soldiers and went to confront the Kingdom of Roysen stationed in Bohem.
She had already approved of it, but she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
“I guess you can give Roysen a proper shot. If we win this war, we must erase it from the map.”
Of course, that couldn’t have happened.
It was a penalty for Lian to break through the gateway to the Shull area.
“I have to go see him, no, Count Leon.”
I thought everything was exaggerated, but the more I talked to Leopold, the more I realized that I had underestimated him.
* * *
Lian muttered as she sipped milk leisurely in the VIP lounge.
“It takes quite a while.”
Of course, I was making predictions.
There were so many things he had committed, so it wasn’t a small amount even if he summarized them.
Especially if you’re listening to Leopold, who has a bit of a weak vocabulary.
“Here~ another glass of milk~!”
Ryan waved his hand gently.
“The kid gets diarrhea after that.”
“It’s hard to eat fresh milk like this unless it’s in the imperial palace. And height is more important than diarrhea!”
There were times when I felt insecure.
No matter how much better the development of a woman is, it bothers me that she is smaller than Charlotte.
What could be more painful than having such a cute appearance and not being tall?
So you have to manage diligently.
“Your Excellency Count Leon. Your Majesty is looking for it.”
“oh. I thought you were waiting to fill your milk stomach.”
Ryan groaned and got up from his seat.
“I will see you. Your Excellency Count.”
The attendant changed to an absurd face as he took Lian away.
At first he walked like a knave, but gradually his gait became more well-groomed.
Right before the audience room opened, I felt a sense of dignity, albeit weakly.
“de… Come in.”
“thank you. Uncle servant~”
Lian waved his hand and entered the automatically opened door to the audience room.
“welcome. Count Leon.”
“It’s the second time we’ve seen each other today, but Your Majesty is still beautiful. It is almost believed that the goddess of spring has descended.”
“The Count is still young, so it’s troublesome to make fun of adults.”
She had a nice smile on her face.
However, Lian did not fall for that smile.
You must always be vigilant about how you try to tie yourself to this place.
If you make a mistake in your promise even in vain, you might end up becoming the lifelong slave of the woman in front of you.
Those intertwined like that are what sustain this empire.
“It is not flattery. So, I have prepared a gift for Your Majesty that resembles spring.”
So, you have to launch a gift offensive with the first bread.
From now on, it is a battle of who gives more benefits.
A battle of giving, not stealing.
“your majesty. The lowly servant who serves the god Ju will check it first.”
“yes. Do by that way.”
As expected, the bishop, the god of the sun, stepped forward.
Seina handed over the baby statue to him.
“this is… … .”
If you touch the genuine product yourself, you will have noticed that it is not an ordinary item.
“It is a divine object containing the energy of the goddess of spring.”
“You… … .”
“My name is Seina, Bishop of the God of War.”
“no… If it’s a war god… … .”
Maybe you know something.
Well, if you were a bishop in the empire, your rank wouldn’t have dropped. You should know what the Vatican is doing as a Heretic Inquisitor.
Now that the girl who should have disappeared has appeared, I must have been very surprised in my heart.
“Sometime I have to go say hello to the sun god pope. Please say hello.”
Her tone was cold.
By the way, the War God Priests were also excellent assassins.
I wonder if the pope will wake up at night once in a while.
“All right. Bishop Seina.”
In particular, her name is famous among church members.
The Last Bishop of the War Gods.
“So what is it?”
As the two were arguing, Theresia asked.
“This statue protects the child. It can give birth to strong children, and the gold thread of those under the influence of this god improves… … .”
and so on followed.
Theresia could not hide her joy when the bishops of the two religions vouched for it.
Right now she doesn’t show it well, but she’s pregnant with a child.
I wasn’t the only one worried about it.
This is because she is well aware of her family’s genetic disease.
“Ahh. How can you give such a rare gift? Worth more than anything… … ?”
Suddenly she stopped talking.
You will feel something in your stomach.
‘Even though it’s a fetus, it shows a reaction.’
Ryan knew why.
This is because the child in her belly was born with the talent to become a priest of spring.
The child’s name is Andnéd.
She is a child who will become the most beautiful woman on the continent in the future.
With a high probability, he fell victim to an arranged marriage with the Thrang Empire, and the end was not good.
“Divine power?”
“The spirit of spring… … .”
The two bishops opened their mouths at the same time.
Divine power was manifested in Theresia.
“Congratulations. your majesty.”
“your majesty. You have been chosen by God.”
The two bishops greeted each other first.
However, there was something that everyone was misunderstanding. It was not Theresia who received the blessing, but Andnéd, the child in her belly.
“thank you. If it is the goddess of spring, my child will be all right, right?”
Consider it 100%.
Unless it becomes variable and she dies or gets poisoned.
No, even tolerable poisons will be purified.
From now on, she won’t have to worry about being poisoned.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate.’
Of course, it would be useless if Rian had it.
Can’t function properly without the priest of spring.
“According to ancient sources, the child of the Priest of Spring does not abort.”
“Ahh. such a blessing. thank you. Count Leon. Please give me this precious gift.”
Theresia shed a single tear.
Perhaps it is because of the memory of children who miscarried or were born weak and died in the past.
“I will give you the rank of honorary marquis of the empire.”
Marquis with one god? Excessive but not excessive.
In particular, since she was chosen by a forgotten god without any interference, Sam is nothing but gain.
In addition to that, it was also a work to tie Lian up.
