In fact, even before Howard took the Drakan’s heart, there had been some suspicious movements.
Seeing me appear right next to him, Howard wasn’t taken aback.
“Did you know?”
“Yes, but since when were you able to see your alter ego?”
“I can not see.”
“Can’t you see? Then how did you find out where your alter ego was?”
“Should I say feeling? Before entering the Dragon Mountains? After living with you for a long time, I felt a wave similar to yours. It’s a bit difficult to explain because it’s a sensory part.”
Just in a word, the sense of the magic beast or something like that. But someone might have a similar feeling to Howard. I found something to improve in an unexpected place.
“Other than that, what is this? Arginine, what are you doing all of a sudden?”
“What is it? Argin knew it was you from the beginning.”
At my answer, Howard put on a dejected expression.
“What is the sudden transfer of the lord?”
“They said they were looking around the world to find a disciple. They said that there is no one as trustworthy as you, so trust me.”
“Do you think this is completely over?”
It wasn’t the same place, but it happened.
“Well, the lord doesn’t have much to do anyway. Argindo didn’t interfere too much with practice. It just needs to be centered.”
Howard nodded, but he didn’t like something.
“Then I go.”
“What is it?”
“Unlike you, I have a busy body.”
I wasn’t really busy, but I wanted to get away from the annoyed Howard.
Of course, after that, he visited often to tease him, but surprisingly, Howard was doing well as a temporary lord. Rather, he did a better job as a lord than Argin.
Argin expected to cruise the continent quietly, but on the contrary, he was not afraid to reveal himself. And even though he knew his actions would be a problem, he had no hesitation.
Everywhere Argin visited, there was a commotion big and small. He did not put up with injustice and did not let go of things he did not like.
Even if the opponent was a noble, Argin’s sword was unforgiving. Because of Argin’s actions, a lot of petitions went up in the center, but who can stop Argin? It was something even Emperor William could not do. Moreover, it was all the more so since Argin did not cut just anyone, but rather those who had done wrong.
In the meantime, I started to find the children one by one and send them away. There were kids who were good at it, and kids who weren’t. Argin’s criterion for choosing his children was loyalty, not talent or skill.
To send the children to the manor, I used the mercenaries in the way I was taught. However, the place where the children arrived was not the Tempest family, but the Eltis side. It seemed that the first round of training for the children had been discussed in the blue moon.
Anyway, Argin was wandering around the Aether Empire and creating a legend of the Sword God. As always with rumors, Argin’s actions were inflated several times and spread to the people, and Argin’s popularity and fame reached the sky.
William even called me to the center for this issue, but I had no intention of stopping Argin. So was William. However, by inviting me, I wanted to show the nobles who were blaming Argin that I had done enough.
After talking with William, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, I also met Prince Jervin, who had grown up quite a bit.
The Barques that had been sold to Zerbin were now divided into over 20, running around the courtyard of the Prince Il’s palace.
“Hello Prince, how are you?”
“Yes, Count.”
Since he found out that I can see and hear the Guardian Spirit like himself, he is very friendly towards me. We hadn’t met a few times, but I knew he was named after me.
“It’s small, but I brought you a present.”
he is the emperor of the empire She is a child who can have almost anything if she puts her mind to it. What I took out was a dwarven dagger and clothes made exclusively for the barque by the elves with the fur of beasts.
“and! thank you.”
However, accepting the gift with a bright face, he picked up the nearby barque and began to dress it up.
“Ahahahaha!”
Zerbin was very amused to see the dressed-up barque. is a good kid However, he has a good side that is too good to be an emperor.
If you get older, it might be resolved naturally, but people’s fundamentals don’t change that easily.
The good thing was that none of the siblings born so far had outstanding talents.
The reason I purposely came to meet Jerbin today was not simply to impress. When Zerbin was distracted by the barque for a while, he used the power of healing on Zerbin.
Zerbin didn’t notice. Zerbin was poisoned with a very weak poison. It is a poison of such an ingredient that poisons it for a very long time and causes it to slowly wither away. It hadn’t been long since he had eaten the poison, and the amount was so small that there was no problem at all yet.
I already knew who the culprit was. William was not informed of the incident. I think this is because it is better to go quietly. Of course, action will be taken.
After parting with Zerbin, I went to see the Empress. Assassination of another prince in order to make one’s own son emperor is a very common occurrence in history. And that common thing just happened here.
Of the two empresses, I went to visit the one who was not, of course, Zerbin’s biological mother.
“It’s been a while, Empress.”
“okay. Count Akasha”
Hilda still retained almost the appearance of her virginity.
“When you suddenly come to see me, there must be a reason, right?”
“That’s right. I came to see Prince Zervin a little while ago.”
Hilda is basically a very smart woman. If I just said this much, you would have understood. I don’t know why the smart woman did that. The lust for power is so terrifying.
Hilda didn’t seem to change her expression at all, whether or not she understood.
“Do you think Zerbin is fit for the next emperor?”
Hilda asked a very sensitive question directly with a nonchalant expression. Even if it was the empress’ residence and everyone around her was Hilda’s, it was a very dangerous move.
“Prince Il is a very kind person. It will definitely grow.”
I deliberately answered like an alumnus, but I didn’t miss the slightest change in Hilda’s expression.
“okay. I know what you are thinking.”
“Can I be relieved?”
“is it so. I promise you.”
After all, a smart person is good at talking well. Hilda sighed heavily.
“No one will know about this.”
If William or someone else finds out about this and the matter grows, a crack will occur in the exquisitely balanced power of the empire. I won’t let it develop like that, but if it gets serious, it could lead to a civil war. that’s not what i want
“thank you.”
Hilda let out a big sigh and still maintained a level of composure that made it impossible to read her thoughts just by looking at her expression.
I rather liked that kind of Hilda. After all, at this level, she could be called the empress of an empire.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Of course, I like Prince Il, but I do not unconditionally support him. If there is an exceptionally outstanding prince, I think it doesn’t matter if he succeeds to the throne. But I won’t let Prince Il suffer harm. It is one time to be patient.”
This is what I said after space separation. No one heard except Hilda. Despite this direct warning, Hilda still maintained her composure.
“I know what you mean. Let me keep that in mind.”
“Then I’ll just leave.”
After bowing politely, I left the empress’ residence. As I walked out, I felt that some people who seemed to be Hilda’s henchmen were looking at me with unkind eyes, but I pretended not to notice.
The person who suggested this to Hilda was also among them, and she planted a disease that caused her to die slowly. I gave Hilda a chance, but there was no need to give it to her.
About a year after Argin left the territory, Argin finally left the territory of the Aether Empire.
After entering a foreign country, no one slashed around like when walking through the Aether Empire. Because it could be a diplomatic problem.
When it became known that Argin had left the Empire, as Argin had predicted, humans with useless thoughts began to appear around the Tempest Territory.
The Tempest Territory is never weak even without Argin. This is because many of the talented people whom Argin directly guided from the Akasha estate followed Argin.
And over the years, most of them have grown into unmanned people who are knocking on the master’s wall.
However, due to the nature of the territory where it is not easy for spies to enter, little is known about it. There are not a few people who think of the strength of the Tempest Territory as Argin’s personal strength and me, the background of it.
The lords of the Tempest Territory did not usually dare to raise their heads, but now that Argin has been absent for a long time and there are rumors that he has moved to another country, they are starting to have a bit of an arrogant mind.
“how will we do it?”
In front of my eyes, there was a monster wearing a human mask who was very welcoming. I sincerely felt sorry for those people.
“Why are you asking me that?”
“Can I just go and smash everything?”
“Can you?”
“Argin did that.”
“You are not Argin.”
Howard, who had handled his lord duties so normally for the past year, was preparing to jump out as if he had been waiting for this day.
“Then, is it okay to kill only the superiors?”
Howard’s hips trembled as if he were going to leave at any moment. It seems that a lot has accumulated in the meantime.
“Isn’t that my specialty?”
Eltis appeared like smoke from the window. No one was surprised because they could feel it coming.
“No, Mr. Eltis, you usually do a lot, don’t you? Please yield to me this time.”
“I think it is right for me to do it because it concerns my daughter.”
The Witchbeast and the Vampire were fighting to go out and kill each other. I thought there would be no end to it if I left it alone, so I stepped out.
“You two don’t do anything. I will.”
“If you do, you will die!”
“That is impossible.”
The two protested vehemently. I knew that. So, we came up with a mediation plan.
“Then split it in half.”
“hmm! What can I do?”
“I don’t like it, but I will accept it.”
The two, who accepted my mediation proposal, split the scrutinized list in half.
And from that night, many people who had bad thoughts in the surrounding estates began to disappear.
I won’t stop what I do, so I asked Shinshin not to leave evidence, but he was processing it without leaving even a body.
Anyone who knew even a little about the missing persons could have guessed that the culprit in this case was the Tempest estate, but it was impossible to argue unless there was evidence.
However, rumors about this incident spread quite widely, and it became an opportunity to widely publicize that the power of the Tempest Territory was not limited to Argin’s individual might.
I wondered if peace would come to the Tempest territory again, but the real enemy was inside.
A huge explosion occurred in Setas’ lab, blowing the entire lab apart. It was fortunate that there were no other buildings around the research center, so there were no major casualties.
As soon as the accident happened, I flew right away. Despite the fact that the laboratory was not such a small building, Setas stood tall in the middle of the site of such a huge explosion that only traces of the building remained.
“Are you okay?”
From the outside, it seemed that not a single tip of a hair was injured, as if she had used the protection magic well, but I wondered if standing there blankly was a psychological shock.
[Stupid!]
Bastet above his head was hitting Setas’ head with a bang. Setas looked distraught and asked Bastet again.
“What happened?”
