“The time has finally come.”
“I know.”

Me and Kania are currently in a carriage heading to the Imperial Palace.
“Tomorrow, Clana-san will really become the emperor of this empire.”
“Time goes so fast. It feels like yesterday when I was running hard as a princess.”
Today, the day before the coronation ceremony, a social church hosted by the Imperial Palace is held.
So, not only me and Kania, but many other people will be heading to the Imperial Palace now.
By the way, my mother, father, and Arya also attend the social church.
Her mother returned to the social club, and Aria made her social debut.
And my father was there to meet the man he was close with.
‘By the way, were you that close with Matapju?’
It is true that my father is acquainted with Matapju.
But, it must be because of her relationship with her mother.
Is there any reason why the father, not the mother, wants to meet Ma Thapju?
“If Clana-san becomes emperor, a lot will change in the future.”
As I tilted my head at the question I had asked for a while, I heard Kania’s murmur.
“Yeah, I guess.”
Surely a lot will change when she becomes emperor.

Most of the evil laws and pretentiousness will disappear according to the emperor’s orders, and the warlords and greedy ducks that have taken root in the empire over the past hundreds of years will be completely eradicated.
Well, although the aristocratic powers gathered in the outskirts of the empire are showing disrespectful movements.
The imperial forces, including Clana, have reached their maximum in force, honor, and legitimacy in history, so there seems to be no problem.
Of course, the alert posture of the capital has been raised several times in case of an emergency.
After all, since it was the emperor’s coronation ceremony, he had to be prudent and prudent.
That is why, in fact, I and all the heroines entered the Imperial Palace a day early.
“Don’t worry, Young Master.”
“Oh, yes.”
As I was immersed in my thoughts while looking at the window, Kania implicitly throws a word at me.
It seems that his expression of concern has leaked out a little.
In any case, it’s because you’re good at reading my mind.
Sometimes it feels like the curse of the single soul has not gone away, so I said it all.
“You don’t have to worry about Mr. Clana’s abuse of power.”
“yes?”
However, Kania’s words are not unusual.
Sudden abuse of power?
Everyone knows Clana isn’t like that, right?
“Because Serena has already conceived a legal brake that involves various disciplines.”
“Hey? What is that…”
“There will be no monopoly with power.”
“……..”
“If you do this, you will unleash all of your black magic and overthrow the empire…”
I’ll just have to do what I can’t hear.
.
“The great starlight that illuminates the empire, the eldest son of the starlight duke, the second-generation hero…”
“I said clearly not to do that.”
“…Fray Raon Starlight enters!”
When I arrive in front of the Imperial Palace, the cry I hate the most in the world resounds everywhere.
I didn’t want to hear that sound, so I even opened the badge.
How the hell did you know I was riding?
“It’s strange. Before, when I was watching over in the shadows, the carriages of the great nobles passed by and they didn’t say anything.”
“……..”
Listening to Kania saying that, I looked out the window and saw the doorkeeper who announced my visit with a loud sound, waving his hands with a welcoming smile.
“I can’t spit on a smiling face, really.”
“I didn’t mean it in a bad way.”
Yeah, I didn’t mean it in a bad way.
But the results were not very good.
“Oh, look at those crowds.”
“It’s definitely a lot. It’s hard to get into.”
The people inside the ballroom were all rushing out.
I was prepared to be surrounded by crowds inside. However, he wasn’t prepared to be swept away by the crowds that couldn’t even go inside.
“If it was a long time ago, I would have known and avoided it.”
“You seem to have a bit of an error in your memory, but there were quite a few people who came even then.”
“At that time, I could even play chess.”
“Still, a lot of people came… Ouch.”
I slightly pinched Kania’s side, who keeps talking back and forth these days, and I whispered to Kania, who was looking at me with a calm gaze while holding her side.
“Hey, Kania. Hide me.”
“how?”
“Can’t we pour something like black magic over it?”
“The perception of black magic is still the worst. It’s difficult to overuse it.”
“Then even if it’s a normal stealth magic…”
“As I became a demon, all my mana was dyed black. It’s also difficult.”
Saying that, Kania clings to me.
“I’ll do something for you, but I’ll escort you.”
“……”
“I’m slowly leaving. I can’t even open the door because of this.”
As the words were finished, the carriage door slowly opened.
“”……..””
As I stepped out of the wagon, standing next to Kania, many eyes began to focus on me.
“Uh, um… over there…”
Come to think of it, this is the first official tour I made after today was all over.
Far from being a warrior, he spent most of his time with the heroines.
People’s curiosity about me right now, isn’t it at its peak?
– Slowly, slowly…
Not surprisingly, the crowd outside the ballroom began to slowly flow towards me.
“Hey, Frey!”
“This way, look this way!”
In the midst of the crowd, you can see reporters who have already turned their eyes and are holding shooting magic tools.
“”……..””
The crowd continued to flow to me like that, but at some point, the crowd stopped.
“…hello?”
After that, after a suffocating clash that lasted for a while, let me open my mouth and speak up.
– Whoops…!
The crowd, who had been keeping a very small distance, began to gather in the same way, narrowing the distance.
“Should I use black magic as well?”
“Save people…”
.
A few minutes after being surrounded by a large crowd from the ballroom.
“Whew…”
“Are you okay?”
Thanks to Kania, who took the risk and unleashed shadow magic for me, I barely managed to escape to a secluded place in the ballroom.
“Let’s rest here for a while until people calm down…”
“I’d love to do that.”
I didn’t know that getting people’s attention would be so sweaty.
Still, I really liked the one thing everyone treated me positively.
Back in the day, that was something I only dreamed of.
It’s becoming a reality soon.
From now on, will you be able to live your whole life looking at the smiles that people make?
In that case, even if it’s hard enough to make you sweat, I’m willing to deal with everything.
“Really?”
“…No, wait a little longer.”
I would have gone back sooner if it wasn’t for the young girls who kept touching my cheeks in the midst of the endless crowds.
Wait, but now Kania has read my mind?
“Uh, ooh…”
“……?”
I was staring at Kania, who had a calm expression on her face with eyes full of doubts, and suddenly a sad voice started to come from somewhere.
“Uhhh…”
“what?”
“It sounds like a cry.”
Just as Kania said, someone’s soft cries could be heard from far away in the hallway.
“It can be dangerous, so I’ll take the lead.”
“No, I’ll take the lead.”
It was a remote place where no one would normally come, so Kania, who felt suspicious, tried to take the lead, so she hurriedly stopped her.
Even if you don’t have stellar mana, you can’t stand in front of her who is pregnant with my child.
“Who are you there?”
I came forward so quickly, and asked a question to the end of the hallway.
“……..”
There was no answer, even the sound of crying that had been heard suddenly stopped.
“Ugh.”
Just in case, I put my hand on the sword that was tied around my waist, lowered my posture and headed forward.
“what.”
“Young Master, I don’t think you need to be vigilant.”
After sharing his view with Kania’s black magic using the shadow in front of him, he headed forward with a slightly puzzled expression.
“Woah, ooh, ooh…”
As we reached the end of the hallway, the person who appeared in front of us.
“Are you kid?”
“What are you doing here?”
It was none other than a little boy with brown tufted hair.
“…hhh.”
The sickly-looking boy who held the brown teddy bear in his arms had a face that somehow seemed familiar.
“Somehow I resembled someone…”
“Where are you from, kid?”
Instead of me, who was quietly immersed in thought, captured by the sudden thought, Kania asked the kid a question.
“Gee, I’m lost…”
“Well, what happened?”
“Nu, my sister… I came with my teacher… Suddenly, the room became dark… and they both disappeared…”
Kania looked at me and opened her mouth at the terrified voice of a kid who was presumably younger than Arya at first glance.
“It seems that you are separated from the party.”
“It seems so.”
“Uh, uh…”
Thinking that I had to find the little boy and his party, I reached out my hand, but the guy who took a step back hugs the doll in his arms and weeps.
“Uh-huh, to become a man and hug a doll and cry. Then I can’t use it.”
“yes?”
“You get horns on your ass when you cry? By the way, if you’re a man, be brave even when it’s hard…”
“I… Young Master?”
As a man, I’m trying to give that guy a prickly piece of advice, but Kania looks at me with a curious look.
“Excuse me, but Young Master was also…”
“What was it before?”
“Cat in bed… um!?”
“So where did you last see your family?”
I hurriedly shut her mouth and asked the little boy a question with a friendly smile.
“…yes?”
“We’ll find you, family.”
“Umm… Go, holding a cat doll… Ubee…”
“Come on, let’s get going.”
Why do you keep getting cold sweats on your forehead?

Meanwhile at that time.
“Yeah, you… what have you done… to my disciple…”
“I just removed the distractions. Don’t be too fussy.”
A corner of the garden a little far from where Frey and his party had been.
“My, you know who I am… are you doing this?”
“Heh heh.”
“You’ll regret it. If you don’t want to face a terrible end, take this bondage right away…”
For some reason, the old man, who had become shattered, was staring at the unidentified person standing in front of him, grinding his teeth.
“I’m not doing well.”
“what?”
“Comeron Filliard. The Empire’s great archmage and mage master.”
“…..!”
But even for a moment, the old man trembled with his eyes wide open at the words of an unidentified person.
“Also, he is a positional figure who has the greatest stellar wizard of all time, the Dragon Lord, a member of the 2nd Hero Party, and the incarnation of the precepts as his pupils.”
“You, you… what are you. What the hell.”
“and…”
“Who are you?!”
An unidentified person who was looking at her like that, threw off the robe that was covering her.
“…a person who broke the rules of the world and touched forbidden magic in order to undo the wrong choice that he will regret for the rest of his life.”
“…you?”
The old man, who had a blank expression for a moment, mumbled in a voice in disbelief.
“How do you know such things? No, the power in the first place…?”
“Yeah, the magic I need like crazy right now.”
The former first princess, Rifael Solar Sunrise, who took off her robe and revealed herself, was looking at such a mage with a creepy expression and reaching out her hand.
Sound quite concerning
