“Madam, did you hear?”
“The story that the owner of the spirit was the crown prince?”
The empire and the capital became noisy.
As everyone was given a chance, this topic did not cover commoners and nobles, men and women of all ages.
The fact that the prince drew his sword was a common hot potato for everyone.
It was the first time he appeared in front of the general public, and as soon as he appeared, he pulled out the sword, which had been of interest to him for several months, at once.
“To think that the owner of a spirit that has appeared for the first time in a thousand years is the crown prince, tsk tsk.”
“How’s it going, then?”
“What’s going on? There must have been an uproar in the imperial family. Didn’t you just hide the crown prince with harsh words?”
“So, has the crown prince been confirmed as the next emperor?”
“I don’t know that yet. There was a lot of talk during the installation, so…”
As long as he was installed as the crown prince, there was no way he would be deprived of that position.
However, Reinhardt was a sloppy prince no matter who saw it.
Everyone was convinced that Raunel or Kazan, who had genius talents, would be installed as the crown prince.
However, it was Reinhardt who was actually installed as the crown prince.
When he was installed, who was not brilliant and was full of bad rumors, all sorts of gossip flowed throughout the empire.
Even after he was installed, there was almost no talk about Reinhardt.
However, he suddenly appeared and drew his sword.
It was the spirit that said like a parrot that whoever chooses himself becomes king.
“Marquis. Like the spirit said, do you think Crown Prince Reinhardt will become the next emperor?”
It was the nobles who took it more seriously than the common people.
Until now, no aristocrats had lined up for the crown prince.
sinking ship.
There were many aristocrats who implicitly thought that the title of crown prince would be stripped anyway.
Qualification without power is poison.
If a crown prince with no support base becomes emperor, he will only become a puppet of the nobles.
There was no way that Deus was unaware of the current situation.
However, in this situation, the crown prince suddenly emerged.
He suddenly appeared and pulled out the spirit sword that was said to be the proof of the king.
“You wouldn’t become an emperor simply because you became the owner of a spirit.”
“But isn’t the reason why the Yellow Dragon Knights were resurrected together is that the crown prince is sending a message to the nobles?”
“It is time to be careful. The story from the imperial family is unusual. If we get the line wrong, the first thing to be cut off is our neck.”
Especially when it comes to changing lines.
The mid-level nobility of the empire are all lined up with other princes and empresses.
To be honest, empresses are scarier than princes.
No one is looking at the current situation as seriously as they do.
If I heard the story of changing the leash, I would put it on a leash and gag it right away. or kill
The problem was that the possibility of the latter was high.
“What should I do…”
The time when the aristocrats gathered in the capital couldn’t sleep due to deep anxiety.
This was an interesting gossip even for aristocratic women who had little interest in politics.
“By the way, the crown prince is also handsome.”
“Like Prince Launel? I heard that it was the black-haired devil itself?”
“Overwhelming charisma that Prince Launel doesn’t have! Everyone who saw it in person said so.”
“Isn’t that just a dog?”
“Shh, do you want to be captured and eaten as human flesh?”
“Handsome, bad boy! Being eaten by someone like that is a girl’s romance!”
“Crazy bitch…”

“… Carnell.”
The 2nd Empress called Princess Carnell from the Empress Palace.
Princess Carnell, who has a neat beauty that seems to freeze the viewer.
If she is simply beautiful enough to be called ‘the last flower of the imperial family’, she is a beautiful woman who is so gorgeous that she can be called the best among all princesses.
To the extent that nobles gathered from all over the country to see her pale yellow hair and slender body, which contrasted with her splendor, and a strong desire to protect her.
Coming-of-age ceremony coming soon.
The sudden increase in the number of nobles and royalty among the challengers of the spirits was also a big influence.
“never.”
Wearing a pure white dress, she stood in front of the second empress with a look of anger.
It was because of the emperor’s orders this morning.
Words that could never be overlooked, asking Reinhardt to participate in her coming-of-age ceremony.
“It is the name of His Majesty the Emperor. It must be because the marriage discussion at the Countess of Versailles collapsed the other day.”
Countess of Versailles.
Although the prestige of the frontier family might be lacking compared to the famous imperial family, it was a suitable place for Reinhardt.
There was no place like the county of Versailles as a place that did not give Reinhardt too much power unnecessarily and provided a suitable assortment.
However, after taking the daughter of that family for a few days, the marriage discussion collapsed.
“So you’re saying that my coming-of-age ceremony will be his debut ceremony?”
that guy
This is Reinhardt’s social debut.
He never dreamed that he would hold it at his own coming-of-age ceremony.
The second empress sighed as if she was tired and shook her head.
“Isn’t it because you unnecessarily broke off the marriage?”
“The prince of the Catullu Kingdom looks like a real toad.”
The reason for the cancellation is simple.
From the first meeting, he poured out bad words such as ‘You’re really creepy and ugly’, so the prince was dumbfounded.
Princess Carnell’s erratic attitude toward her face was already famous.
Thanks to this, even with this beautiful face, the marriage meeting was almost ruined.
However, it was something that could not be helped from Princess Carnell’s point of view.

Just looking at her siblings, it was inevitable that there would be a bias against her face.
“Where in the world is there a princess who gets married by looking at her face? Your older sisters and younger siblings all went to see family, not people.”
“… I’ll have to find out for myself.”
“Arthur. Unless you want to be imprisoned until the coming-of-age day.”
“I will ask Reinhardt not to come. Is that okay?”
I can’t argue with Emperor Deus.
However, measures can be taken to prevent Reinhardt from coming to the coming-of-age ceremony.
However, the 2nd Empress was negative.
If it was Reinhardt of the past, it would be easy to make an excuse for that.
He could have tried to speak to the emperor himself, asking if he was going to embarrass the crazed prince by participating in the princess’s coming-of-age ceremony.
However, Reinhardt’s recent moves catch his eye.
‘They pulled out the sword and resurrected the Yellow Dragon Knights.’
Each of the princes has an order of knights.
It is the knights that are the face and alter ego of oneself.
However, the Crown Prince’s Yellow Dragon Knights only existed in name, but did not exist.
because they all resigned.
If he had simply pulled out the sword, he would not have been very impressed.
However, reviving the Yellow Dragon Knights is a completely different story.
The revival of the Knights was like the resurrection of Reinhardt.
Besides, rumors about Reinhardt were spreading after the demonstration.
‘The attribute of nothingness, and even the spirit. You’re driving all the topics called hot topics.’
Many magic towers are also watching.
Now, not only the magic tower, but the entire imperial family was paying attention.
Everyone couldn’t help but wonder about the reason for reviving the Yellow Dragon Knights.
On top of that, if you successfully complete your socialite debut…
Moreover, this coming-of-age ceremony is a place where all kinds of nobility and royalty gathered.
The 3rd Empress Josephine’s network of connections was wider than expected, and she was also connected to big names in the arts and politics.
They are currently gathering in the capital of the empire.
Of course, the news about Reinhardt must have heard.
It seems like it’s time to hold the reins of the nobility firmly.
“Where do you try it? I won’t stop there.”

Carnell headed for the Imperial Palace, where the Crown Prince lived.
But he couldn’t meet Reinhardt.
“Your Highness is having an audience with His Majesty the Emperor, Princess Carnell.”
Read at noblemtl.com
Jeremin politely closed the door.
Due to the spirit, Reinhardt was summoned to the emperor again in just one day.
He said he was having an audience with the emperor, but he couldn’t force himself.
However, Carnell’s stubbornness could not be broken.
“Then where can I wait?”
“Since the schedule is already full, how about making a separate appointment?”
The schedule is full.
This means that an appointment has already been made.
‘what. Why are you so busy with Reinhardt?’
People were gathering to see the prince playing and eating in the palace.
“Isn’t it enough if you cancel your promise? Or are you not saying that other promises are more important than seeing me?”
but she is a princess
Unless you are the emperor, there is no way your priority will be pushed back.
“All right. Let’s talk to Prince Persephone. The princess said to postpone the schedule until later.”
“······ Pe, Grand Duke Persephone?!”
Hiccup!
Unknowingly, Princess Carnell hiccupped.
It had to be.
Two grand dukes with the strongest influence in the empire.
One is Archduke Carlos, and the other is Archduke Persephone.
Archduke Carlos was a warrior who defeated the war based on strong military and organizational power.
And the Grand Duke of Persephone was a genius. He was the tycoon among tycoons who manipulated the economy of the empire based on his enormous wealth.
However, if asked which one of the two scares her, Princess Carnell would choose Grand Duke Persephone without hesitation.
Archduke Persephone is so gloomy.
The all-seeing eye is breathtaking when you sit in front of it.
Besides, he wasn’t human.
Dark elves that only a few exist in the world.
Two hundred years ago, he married the one and only empress of the empire and was given the title of grand duke.
Afterwards, he accumulated wealth through numerous civil wars and wars, and became the first chancellor of the empire.
This is why all the emperors of the past had difficulty with Grand Duke Persephone.
It was an unusual case, even if you look back in history, for a non-human, heterogeneous race to have the title of nobility, and even the title of grand duke.
The position of the princess was like a firefly compared to the position of Grand Duke Persephone.
“Oh, no. Come see me tomorrow.”
“I have an appointment with Cardinal Amar of the Holy Church tomorrow.”
“tomorrow! Will the day after tomorrow be okay?”
“The day after tomorrow, the joint promise between Androsen, the lord of the Tower of Light, and the other lords of the Tower of Light…”
“…”
Princess Carnell was at a loss for words.
It was because I never thought that I would be able to meet them until the coming-of-age ceremony.

“You are arriving, Your Highness.”
Upon returning to the palace, Grand Duke Persephone had already arrived.
Iggy and his knights were taking their positions at the entrance of the Imperial Palace.
Even Germin was clearly nervous.
Archduke Persephone is a giant who ruled the empire for 200 years.
It is said that he married an empress 200 years ago and has no children, but the power of the grand duke’s position, which had been solid for six emperors, was not strange at all even if he was another emperor.
Although he was a dark elf of a different race, no human ignoring him existed in this empire.
‘Still the power is great.’
And it was the same for me too.
Archduke Persephone is more difficult than Archduke Carlos.
It was the same in the past. Because I couldn’t figure out what it was.
I only knew that his hidden wealth and military power were beyond words. No one could touch it because it was impossible to know the end.
Even so, in the end Malfiel cut his throat, but after Malfiel appeared, the biggest gateway was Persephone.
‘He must have recognized Malfiel’s madness first.’
Among the nobles, he was the first to reject Malfiel.
His eyes are said to see through everything, but he wondered if he could see through Malfiel’s true nature.
I slowly followed Germin to the drawing room.
Kki-Ik-.
When I opened the door, Grand Duke Persephone was already sitting there.
There was a certain knight behind him.
I don’t know who it is because he wears armor and a helmet.
[The scanning function for others has been activated as the administrator’s authority level has been upgraded.]
[The master scans and provides the necessary information.]
【Type: Dark Elf (99.69% similar to human DNA)】
【Gender: Female】
【Lv. 98]
it’s a huge force
If the level is 98, it is the intermediate level of the sword master.
Not only Grand Duke Persephone, but that female knight was also a Dark Elf.
But what does DNA similar to humans mean?
‘Dark elves live here.’
It felt like I had been hit in the head hard.
The Dark Elves were going extinct.
Grand Duke Persephone found the extinct Dark Elves, took them in, and adopted them.
All of their abilities were so great, they changed the existing military aspect at once.
Of course, this is a story later after the war of conquest. It has not yet appeared in this era.
If so, it means that the female knight is also the adopted daughter of Grand Duke Persephone.
“It’s been a while, Grand Duke Persephone.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you since I was young, so it’s been a while, Your Highness. I almost didn’t recognize it.”
It’s an honor to remember you.
Rather, it is a response that exalts and exalts me.
But don’t be discouraged.
Because he was the most different person on the outside and inside.
“What is your reason for wanting to see me?”
“Short-cutting. good. But it’s a reunion after a long time, so please accept my present first.”
“Is it a gift?”
“Arel.”
Swoop.
When my name was called, the female knight in the back took off her helmet.
Curly black hair and skin.
A woman with the beauty of a Dark Elf appeared.
I paused.
Could it be a gift?
Archduke Persephone smiled.
“This is a gift from me, Your Highness.”
