“Are you going to just watch it like this, Empress Sylvia?”
“The crown prince’s tyranny has gone too far. Three people have already been executed. If you ignore it, you never know how far that sword will go.”
Nobles gathered around the first empress, Sylvia.
It was only a day after the news spread that Crown Prince Reinhardt was away from the palace.
There were already three nobles who had been executed by Reinhardt for seven days. Even as all three of them were aristocrats with deep bones in politics, the shock was indescribable.
And coincidentally, all three of them were Empress Sylvia’s closest aides.
‘If I stay still like this, he’ll hit me in the neck.’
Targeting them was the same as targeting her.
They couldn’t weave them together right away, but after cutting one or two like this, they would suddenly change at some point and start strangling her neck.
I had to count. I couldn’t let you stand still like this.
So, I chose an armed demonstration. Reinhardt’s force itself was unattractive. So, it was judged that if he led the conversation with the knights and nobles, he would be able to press the flag.
By the way······.
‘Wyvern?’
Wyverns can never be raised by humans. cannot be tamed It was already considered common sense.
A hundred years ago, the Empire tried its best to challenge, but the anecdote of failure spread like orthodoxy across the continent.
This is because aggression toward humans cannot be eliminated, and wyverns, by their nature, avoid even someone approaching them from behind.
I can’t even imagine putting a human on my back.
Even if he was raised as a baby, he could not control his instincts.
That is normal and common sense.
Now she was being denied common sense to her face.
‘Ten wyverns pulling a boat…!’
It’s not even about carrying people on its back.
A wyvern is used as a means of transportation.

Just like horses pulling carriages, Wyverns appeared leading huge ships.
does this make sense?
When you see a person, it is a wyvern that attacks first. They cannot coexist because they do not regard them as more than prey and prey.
But now, the Wyverns were extremely docile. Even after seeing the myriad prey placed around them, they remained silent.
Even though the commander in charge of the fortress wall and his soldiers moved around for safety, the Wyverns were only snoring.
All ten of them.
I don’t know if it’s just one, but ten of them are doing that at the same time, so the feeling of intimidation was no joke.
It was the first time I had ever seen a wyvern so docile. Wyvern always comes first when it comes to choosing a monster that is extremely tyrannical.
The empire rushed in and succeeded what had failed.
If this is known, there will be an uproar.
The problem is the person who rode the wyvern.
Reinhardt was on top of a seemingly luxurious ship.
“I didn’t know there would be so many people welcoming me.”
“Uh, where did you go and come back with the wyverns?”
Germin asked. Leaving the palace without anyone noticing was a big deal, but it was even bigger since she brought a wyvern.
Most of the wyverns live in the south. The wyvern lived in the highlands of the desert where there was no heat and humidity.
Of course, it is far from the Empire. It is not a distance that can be traveled in a week.
Izar and Arel were also sending curious eyes.
‘The source is the problem.’
Even if the dragon gave it as a gift, he wouldn’t believe it.
hahahaha, it seemed that if I changed my stance, I wouldn’t believe it either. If the dragon gave you 10 wyverns as a gift, the sound of a madman would come out first.
In order to bring demons into the palace, there must be an accurate source. It’s because if you bring in a monster like a wyvern and eat a person, you have to take responsibility for it.
In the end, there was only one answer.
I met Germin’s eyes.
“These are the guys I secretly raised.”
“······ You’ve grown a lot while I couldn’t see you.”
Germin got it.
After all, he was a seasoned butler.
I saw right through my intentions.
There was no way that the crown prince, who was confined to the palace, could secretly raise a wyvern. However, if Germin testifies, the probability of that happening becomes non-zero.
Well, it’s a gift given by taming the dragon himself, so it shouldn’t cause any problems. It seemed that Adolph had castrated the Wyvern’s aggressive side to some extent.
I turned my head and looked at the gathered nobles.
“By the way, Empress Sylvia. Do you have something to do with the nobles and see me?”
When the name of Empress 1 was mentioned, Empress Sylvia bit her lip.
‘Of course, why now…!’
Why did he appear with the Wyverns at this timing?
He tried to put pressure with the nobles, but it was useless in front of the majesty of the Wyvern. Since the prince has fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the empire, he will fly away like the wings of that wyvern.
“Is it true that you tamed the wyvern properly?”
“why? Is it because you are afraid of an attack?”
“What would you do if you attacked someone in the palace? We cannot bring a monster into the palace that would be so dangerous.”
“I have a lot of worries. What I will be responsible for.”

Judging that the demonstration of force is not working, it is attacking the Wyvern itself.
It’s such an obvious trick.
I got off the boat.
Afterwards, he stroked the chin of the Wyvern in the lead.
“Wyverns aren’t even cats…”
“her! It’s something to live for a long time.”
The nobles were amazed.
When a wyvern appears in a private house, the village is in an emergency for a whole month. It is a monster among monsters that cannot even be matched against unless it is a regular group of knights.
Such a wyvern was accepting the human touch without hesitation.
“Do you want to test whether or not you attack people?”
Empress Sylvia said with her eyes lit.
“I listen now, but isn’t it a characteristic of monsters to change suddenly when they taste human blood? It’s no different than a wyvern.”
“Then if you stay still after tasting human blood, will you apologize to these children?”
“······ good night. Let’s see if you stay still even after tasting the blood.”
Empress Sylvia was confident.
No matter how much you tame a monster, it’s still a monster in the end.
It was instinctive to change suddenly when he tasted blood.
In particular, the Wyvern, which only carnivores, did not have the chin to be quiet after tasting human blood.
Showing aggression is your victory. Proclaim that the wyvern is completely untamed and will slaughter it.
It was then.
“Hey, Your Highness! What are you doing!”
Germin screamed in amazement at Reinhardt’s sudden action.
It was because he suddenly walked away and cut his arm with an aura and put it in the Wyvern’s mouth. It’s something you can’t do without being crazy.
drop, drop.
Drops of blood fell into the giant wyvern’s mouth.
Grr.
However, only making a weak sound, the Wyvern was calm. He didn’t even bite his arm with his sharp teeth. Those jaws and teeth that could bite through steel had become docile in front of Reinhardt.
“Does anyone else want to test it? The one who wants to put his arm in.”
“…”
All the nobles, including the 1st Empress Silvia, shut their mouths.
The knights also showed a confused expression. You put your arm in the wyvern’s mouth!
Even when he tastes blood, he stays still.
No matter how low-level a monster is, if it tastes blood, it will go crazy.
How did you tame it?
But no one wants to try it.
it’s suicidal No matter how docile they were, a wyvern was a wyvern.
Even the dog he kept would bite anyone other than the owner.
Even more so, the Wyvern is a monster that instills fear just by looking at it.
“I will try it myself.”
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Empress Sylvia stepped forward.
“Wow, Empress. No, that will happen!”
“Please order the knights!”
“What are you going to do if something goes wrong?”
Nobles dried up.
It’s a big deal if she goes out on her own and it goes wrong.
It was a very risky gamble.
‘Do you dare to avert my danger?’
However, this was a turning point for her as well.
She wasn’t aggressive towards her owner, Reinhardt, but the palace would turn upside down the moment a wyvern attacked her.
So Reinhardt couldn’t use himself as a test subject. The moment you reject it and put forward another target, it’s enough if you insist on invalidating it.
He makes things that never happened and drives Reinhardt down.
However, there was something wrong with Empress Sylvia.
“Good idea. Please.”
It was that Reinhardt always exceeded her expectations.
‘crazy. What did you just say?’
‘Stupid.’
‘I heard that the mania is cured, but it seems that it is not completely healed yet!’
Everyone who heard was shocked.
Did Empress Sylvia really accept the challenge? It’s a choice you can’t make unless you’re sane.
The same was true of Empress Sylvia.
“I’ll have to put it in carefully so it doesn’t touch my teeth. It’s a big deal if you chew it by any means.”
On the contrary, he opens his wyvern mouth toward her and kindly explains it.
Empress Sylvia’s eyes wavered.
To put your hand in the monster’s mouth. It’s something I’ve never done in my life.
How many times will she, who has grown up and married into the imperial family, face a monster in person? Still, there were rumors about her as a heroine in the imperial family, but seeing her in person was a completely different thing.
‘You thought I couldn’t do it?’
The empress gritted her teeth and moved on.
The moment I opened my sleeves and tried to put my hand in, my eyes met with the wyvern.
‘ah······.’
I tried to kill the spirit, but the spirit died.
Far from being a show of force, on the contrary, she was being tested.
The empress withdrew her hand.
“It doesn’t seem like they’re attacking…”
“You will never attack a person without my permission.”
This means that if permission is given, they may attack.
But it didn’t end here.
“Then Empress Sylvia, I must keep my promise.”
“…”
Empress Sylvia trembled.
It is contempt. Unbelievable things happened, but they were real.
“Is it okay if I don’t keep my promise? Apparently, most of the nobles gathered here are currently under investigation. If so, I don’t think I can promise their life or death.”
“…!”
openly speaks of death It was a scene that clearly showed what would happen if a madman was given a knife.
Even the nobles’ eyes shook. I realized that gathering together became poison, but it was already too late. Rather, it only encouraged the imprinting effect.
It was a message that if an apology was not made here, an intense investigation would begin.
There is no aristocrat who does not come out dust by shaking it off.
Even more so, the longer aristocrats have been in the central political world, the more dust there is.
Reinhardt, who even had the right to execute summary, was like a nightmare to them.
“Sorry for doubting…”
“Not to me, but to these children.”
Fast!
teeth are grinding
There was no empress in the history of the empire who apologized to monsters.
However, I couldn’t help but do it.
In the end, Empress Sylvia turned her head and looked at the wyverns.
“Me… I’m sorry.”
To apologize to the monster?
It was the biggest humiliation of her life.
*
1st Empress Sylvia bowed her head to Crown Prince Reinhardt!
Prince Reinhardt brought a wyvern into the palace!
Rumors quickly spread throughout the imperial family.
At the center of it all was Reinhardt. Reinhardt, who returned with everyone’s attention, made even Empress Sylvia bow her head at the same time.
It was a part that showed that Reinhardt took the position of the investigation leader and that his authority soared to the sky. Now, no one can dispute the role of the investigation leader.
‘We must destroy the evidence!’
Eventually, the nobles changed their direction.
It was Reinhardt who made even the first empress bow her head. Even if nobles gathered together, not even the seed would be eaten. The nobles changed their ways and steered towards destroying the evidence.
The nobility began to keep a close eye on and hide major violations of Imperial law. But the problem is that the time when the investigation team came in was faster than the time they prepared.
“The Yellow Dragon Knights!”
“Hey, my lord, the Yellow Dragon Knights are riding a wyvern!”
He was unable to cope with the Yellow Dragon Knights riding a wyvern at great speed.
Even if it is far from the capital, it is not safe.
The appearance of the Dragon Knights, which the empire failed a hundred years ago!
The movements of knights riding wyverns are faster and sharper than the wind.
“Grand Duke Persephone. Long time no see.”
Archduke Persephone, too, could not avoid the sword of investigation.
