76 – Summary (1)
“A new sword master in the empire… “Did you say he was a man too?”
“That’s right, Warchief Natasha. He also said he is still attending the Imperial Knight Academy.”
“… What nonsense… “
A few days after the civil unrest in the Marchen estate completely collapsed due to the deaths of Merlin and Kate Doehart,
The news that could determine the fate of the empire was known beyond the empire, even into the territory of what the people of the empire called the northern barbarians.
When Natasha, the young godfather chieftain of the Golden Wolf tribe, heard this news, she couldn’t help but frowned and placed her palm on her forehead.
“I was already paying attention because Karin Blasgunt had disappeared and a rabid dog had appeared… The empire’s power has increased. “It’s not decreasing.”
“That is definitely… “I don’t think it’s good news for us.”
The North, where Yohan took on the additional task of subjugating in the midterms to save Lena, was maintaining a tense standoff, although there were currently no casualties.
Although Karin Blasgunt, the famous knight commander in the northern part of the empire, has passed away, the northern nightmare has returned, albeit a little less resourceful.
An honorable ‘knight of dawn and sunset’ to the northern part of the empire.
For those called barbarians, ‘mad dogs’ are like hell.
Lana Sartien, the mother of Lena Sartien, has returned to the Order of the Winter Rose, the third major knight order in the North! How surprised the indigenous tribes in the north were when they heard the news.
Due to the closed nature of the north, his name did not spread throughout the empire, but he is a high-ranking knight who is well known to the strong people living in the barren north, the upper-class knights, and the commanding class.
Just maintaining her current state while minimizing her damage against her is daunting, and her empire is showing signs of stabilizing.
The enemy’s misfortune is the ally’s happiness, and the enemy’s happiness is the ally’s misfortune, so Natasha became depressed upon hearing the news.
“It seems like a legend is appearing in the southern part of the empire that a prosperous father’s successor will appear… In fact, their children, the North, are having such a hard time. “Have you heard anything from the shamans?”
“Nothing to say. However, some older shamans collapsed while shouting that the future had become strange. However, this has happened often before, so I don’t think you need to worry too much.”
“…Ensure that the care of the fallen shamans is carried out without a hitch. “You never know when a war with the empire will break out.”
“Yes! All right.”
Both of them knew that the possibility of a civil war between the northern tribes had increased before the war with the empire broke out, but they did not say it out loud.
The reality facing their tribe was not easy for them to feel depressed thinking about such a reality.
‘From the rumors I heard, I thought that with the southern part of the empire falling, there would be an opportunity to unite the tribes… If this continues, it won’t be easy to pacify the other tribes.’
The dynamics of the empire are important, but in the end, all of this was done to unite the indigenous tribes of the north and make them wealthy.
But in her mind, there is no answer to the current situation.
‘If only the legend could come true… Phew… ‘
In the North, where the legend of the Father of Plenty is most revered, there is a proverb that comes down to us.
-The man who spreads golden light will enrich the North again.
It was a legend passed down from generation to generation by the tribal chiefs and high-ranking officials of each tribe, but no one believed that it would come true.
In the desolate North, the most important thing is strength.
The women of the North were more female-centered than any other women on the continent, so the idea that men enrich women is something they cannot believe, at least not to them.
It was just a story that our ancestors treated with great care, so I just remembered it to show the minimum level of courtesy.
‘What can you do by believing in legends, and even men? ‘I’ll have to do something on my own.’
Natasha, with golden hair and blue eyes like an autumn wheat field, has a strong will on her face.
She is still young and has not yet fully acquired her authority as the great chieftain, but she does it in order to carry on the honor of her late mother.
With no time to lose herself in her thoughts due to the complex information she received, she stood up for her North.
“Ah, Warchief. Come to think of it, weren’t a lot of wizards released from the south this time? “Among them, a very noteworthy person has joined the Black Bear Tribe and I would like to report to you.”
“Hmm? A wizard? It must not have been easy to get from the south to the north… Who is it?”
“I’m not sure, but I think her name is Cecily. I don’t know much about magic, but it is known to be quite advanced… “

They now forgot about the affairs of the empire and began to discuss the affairs of the North in earnest.
Not noticing that the fire in the empire had begun to spread to the cold northern ice valley…
* * *
“Thanks to the princesses, the Sword Saint, Baron Ivorys, and everyone here, we were able to win this war. The Duke of Marhen is grateful for the imperial family’s grace and will never forget it. Thank you.”
-Clap clap clap clap clap… !!
The civil unrest is over.
Master caught the ‘revolutionary’, and after I caught the ‘berserker’, I immediately beheaded Karminen in prison.
In any case, the information on the small and medium-sized nobles who had been in cahoots with the rebels had already been extracted to the extent that it could be extracted, so there was no reason to take time to process it.
-I plan to offer this information to the emperor as a sign of loyalty. I will allow my benefactor to gain a certain amount of benefit, but I hope that he will not be too greedy. In case the emperor is harmed, something may happen that cannot be helped despite my feelings for you.
Duke Marchen gave me a small warning and told me to tell him anything I needed.
Thanks to the facilities provided by Duke Marhen, we were able to rest well before returning to the Imperial Knight Academy, and we were even invited to a party today.
Although the Duke of Marchen is famous for its frugality, it is not to the extent of forcing that frugality even on its guests.
By the way, Duke Marhen’s words are probably because there were several people around my territory related to this incident.
Hmm… If this is the case, at what speed should we speed up territory development to avoid conflict with Duke Marhen?
While I was thinking about my future schedule,
-Percussion.
“John, what are you thinking like that?”
“Lena.”
Lena looks at me with concern as she places her hand on my shoulder.
And next to them, Sharon and Meron, who had made a name for themselves along with Lena in this battle, came up behind them in fancy dresses.
Although not as good as me, Lena, Sharon, and Meron have built up considerable reputations in the process of suppressing this uprising.
They were three incredibly talented people to begin with, and they blossomed much faster under the guidance of their teacher.
Maybe that’s why the eyes of those around us pouring down on us are unusual. They’re probably thinking of recruiting him as their vassal. Eyes filled with greed were clearly looking in this direction.
“John, if we don’t have any work to do, let’s just meet the people we want to greet quickly and then go in. “Just say you’re tired and you’ll be fine.”
Perhaps she knew my discomfort, Lena suggested exactly what I wanted.
Even though I’m a woman, I didn’t feel good when I saw the eyes that wanted my people, but I’m glad it’s like this.
“I think Yohan has some strange misunderstanding… Right, Melon?”
“Well, isn’t that Yohan’s charm? You have a different charm from other men who can’t see you even if you pay them hundreds of millions of dollars. “It’s better not to be aware of it.”
Sharon, Meron, and Lena, who were saying something strange, started escorting me.
Thanks to this, some of the women who were flirting with me earlier looked disappointed.
Although they were all as pretty as models in the previous world, for me, who had already become accustomed to the looks of the sisters Lena and Sharon Meron, I no longer felt regretful about such reactions.
We were the first to say hello to the 3rd princess, Angela Bourtion, who first supported us.
“Greetings to the princess, a descendant of a noble lion. “I congratulate you on successfully suppressing this rebellion.”
“Yes, Baron Ivorys. Thanks to your loyalty, the matter was able to be completed easily. “On behalf of the royal family, I salute your loyalty.”
After Princess Angela received my greeting, she kissed my fingertips.
I’ve definitely heard that at upper class parties, a woman shows her friendliness to a man by kissing his fingertips… It feels strange to see a beauty like Princess Angela do this.
Lena and Sharon Meron gave a slightly displeased look on their faces, but it couldn’t be helped. It’s okay, guys. It’s still a business. Not yet.
“Isn’t it possible that we were able to achieve this result thanks to the brilliant Princess Angela? “If it weren’t for the princess’s support, I wouldn’t have been able to be as active as I am.”
“Still… Thank you. You once saved my maid’s life. Even saving a saint. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be… “You could probably say it was a bad relationship.”
Suddenly, she looked apologetic, and she was giving me an apology that wasn’t an apology.
Angela, who was called the ‘Green Lion’ and only showed herself as a war specialist while maintaining the empire’s territory after the outbreak of the civil war, held her hand.
“Princess.”
“Ugh! Yes… “
The princess who held her hand blushed a little in embarrassment.
But she never released the hand I was holding.
“You don’t have to say that. “There is no need to be sorry.”
“… Still.”
“If I had wanted to hear those words, I probably would not have received a letter of recommendation for the Imperial Knight Academy from the princess.”
Although I never intended it, my relationship with Angela Burtion continued through Aunt Lana.
Her commanding the army in the game, being confident and showing no servility to the enemy, left a deep impression on my mind.
Because of this, even though she had not yet grown up, I did not want to see her becoming restless due to her hardships.
As if I was able to convey my feelings through her hands, she smiled as she gave strength to my hand and held it for a moment.
“I understand. “Because of your request, I will try to live a little more shamelessly.”
“I would be grateful if you could at least do that.”
“Yes. Then, with your favor, I will do what I can. “Okay then.”
Angela kissed my hand once again and then headed towards where the other nobles were gathered.
As he showed a good performance in this civil uprising, it will be much easier than before to attract his side.
‘Now… So now I… ’
After letting her go, I turned her head and was faced with the reason Angela had that sorry expression on her face.
The 2nd princess I had a conversation with at the Imperial Knight Academy before departing for the Ivory Territory.
Although I have never talked to her, I have seen her face the most while playing ‘Carnia Chronicles’, the 1st princess of ‘Amgun’.
Two green-haired beauties were looking intensely at me with one angry face and one expressionless.
‘Phew, it’s finally here.’
I had been prepared for this for a long time, but now I have really entered the beginning of the story of the game I know. That’s what I thought.
I took a moment to catch my breath and focused my eyes.
And then, with the expression I had practiced before on my face, I walked towards them.
