Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

21 – 20.

“Oh, I’m tired. It was hard today.”

A cadet, Ar, was on his way back to the dormitory after class.

Tomorrow there is training from the morning, so if you go back to sleep…

‘Uh… ?’

Ar, who arrived at her own room and tried to open the door and enter, stopped moving due to the sense of incongruity felt in her room.

‘Someone is inside.’

I felt a vague presence in the room where no one was supposed to be.

Who the hell broke into the academy’s dormitory, which is protected by multiple magic circles and guards?

‘What should I do? Should I call the instructor?’

No.

If you leave the dormitory again and call the instructor, it will be too late.

In the meantime, the intruder may escape.

‘I will subdue you.’

It was a decision I could make because I was Arr, who had improved a lot recently and gained confidence.

Drawing the sword with her right hand and holding the doorknob with her left hand, Ar took a deep breath and opened the door.

“Ar cadet, is that right… “

“Haaa!”

Ar’s sword rushed towards the intruder.

———————————————————————————

“I’m sorry!”

“No. I couldn’t tell you in advance, so it’s my responsibility.”

The Imperial Knights, who came to Ar to deliver the imperial order, were in a state of bewilderment.

‘I thought an academy cadet would read my presence.’

What’s difficult for even quite a few knights to read is the stealth technique of the Hwangyeong Knights. I’ll just be caught by a cadet.

And what about that sword attack?

Although it was not completed, it was already far beyond the cadet level.

If he had tried to subdue it, it would have taken quite a while.

‘I want to recruit them to our side, but since Lord Peltz is raising his eyes, it must be impossible.’

I think he would fit well with the Hwangyeong Knights.

Swallowing regret in his heart, the Hwangyeong Knights took out a letter from his arms.

A letter with a purple dragon drawn on it that even Ar can recognize since this is the second time.

“This is… !”

“I will tell you in advance. Are cadets. What happened today and what is written in the letter are all top secret. This is an imperial order, so if cadet Ar leaks the contents of the letter to the outside, he can be punished at the same level as treason.”

The Hwangyeong Knights, who sophisticatedly expressed that he will kill you and your family if you tell him the contents of the letter somewhere, delivered the letter to Ar.

In a completely different atmosphere than when he received the letter before, Ar received the letter with trembling hands and was very nervous.

——————————————————————————

The Imperial Knights confirm that Ar has read all the correspondence, then try again.

I retrieved it, burned the correspondence, and returned.

Ar was left alone in the room and sat on the bed trying to clear his confused head.

‘So, Her Highness will be coming to the academy soon, and you want me to keep an eye on Her Highness?’

I didn’t use the expression “Surveillance” Clearly, but ‘Stay by my side and escort it, but if you feel any disquiet, report it to the president immediately.’ What is

If not surveillance?

Even Arra, who is ignorant of politics, could notice such an explicit expression.

‘Can I… ?’

The fact that he, as a commoner, had to watch over the imperial family felt a great burden, but when he remembered that this was the imperial family, the burden eased a little.

‘Yes, because this is an order from His Majesty the Emperor.’

When I thought of the fact that His Majesty believed that even remembering me was not enough, and even gave me this mission, I no longer worried.

‘It’s an opportunity to repay His Majesty’s kindness.’

When he thought of His Majesty’s correspondence kept on his desk and the amount of auras that had greatly increased thanks to the elixir he took, he felt rather weak anticipation.

This was the first imperial mission that Ar was to follow.

———————————————————————————

“Then, Your Majesty, I will leave.”

A little time has passed since I had dinner with Duke Pale that day.

It was yesterday that I informed the officials and nobles of the empire that Daman had accepted the traitor, and declared that I would send a delegation led by the Duke of Pale to protest.

‘Dare! Just trying to embrace a traitor to the empire!’

‘Your Majesty, please punish those arrogant things!’

No matter what, most of them were resentful because they were aristocrats who were proud of their empire.

‘By the way, is it true that you said that they were envoys for protest, not for a declaration of war?’

‘Has His Majesty become a little calmer after taking off his boyish clothes?’

Some doubted that I did not immediately declare war.

Well, it’s enough for only those closest to me to know the truth, so I won’t explain it one by one.

“By the way, Your Majesty, just in case. What if the king of Daman attacks the envoys?”

To the duke’s question, I answered while looking at the envoys lined up behind the duke – the army pretending to be envoys.

“If such a situation arises, use the discretion of the Duke. For this matter, I will entrust the duke with all authority related to daman.”

“I understand, Your Majesty. “

The duke nodded his head with a relaxed expression as always, and headed towards the envoys.

After the duke joined the envoys, they all looked at me and waited for the order to go out.

The best samurai song in the empire.

It’s not like he’s been a member of the council and gained power, nor is he an outsider.

A family that obtained and maintained the duchy with only one sword.

A master family who is not interested in authority, stays in the system without even a proper territory, and only trains the sword.

The Pale family was waiting for my order.

I’m not very used to speaking yet, but I have to say something.

“Listen to my most loyal sword, Pale.”

Imperfectly pure and infinitely noble nobleman of the empire.

Because of people like you, the empire enjoys peace and prosperity today.

But, unfortunately, not all nobles are like you, and there are traitors who have dared to reveal their teeth to me, betraying honor and duty.

And there is also a kingdom that accepted the traitors.”

When the traitor and Daman were mentioned, the eyes of the Pale family were filled with anger.

After confirming that, I continued talking.

“Since a kingdom has accepted a traitor to the empire, even if it is destroyed, it will not have anything to complain about. But I am merciful, and I will give those fools one last chance.

My envoys.

Just go to the bay.

Go and deliver my wrath, and hold them accountable.

From noble mtl dot com

For Arhan.”

“””For Arhan!!!”””

The continent’s foremost armed group, just headed for the kingdom.

“Your Majesty, how long do you think it will take until Duke Pale arrives in Daman?”

“Well, I told you to move slowly, so even if you can’t do it, it will take three months.”

The news that Daman accepted Gior had already spread across the continent.

As it was more than enough to hurt the face of the empire, it was necessary to turn our attention to the continent elsewhere, so I ordered the Duke of Pale to head to Daman as slowly and ostentatiously as possible.

Since Duke Pale, one of the strongest Masters of the time, has left the Empire, there will surely be Masters who want to challenge them, and if they defeat them, the prestige of the Empire will be restored.

“Sir Crawl, by the way. You are very late.”

Craul inquired at the Mage Tower, organized the connection between jewel magic and Edelwein, and brought it to me.

“Your Majesty, I am a wizard, not an informant. It can’t be helped that it’s slower than the imperial intelligence department.”

“That’s right. By the way, sir, you probably didn’t come to tell me this.”

Because it has enemies both in the Mage Tower and in the Empire, it is a Crowl that is not as sleazy to me as the other servants.

If the purpose was to report, he would have sent a disciple or another subordinate.

Craul, who changed his mood at my question, asked me with a serious face.

“Your Majesty. Did you reach it?”

A question that can be asked because he is the closest mage to the great mage.

I gladly answered the question posed by a single wizard, not the leader of the imperial family’s magic corps.

“I’m over it.”

“Ha… “

Craul let out a short sigh and closed his eyes without saying anything.

It wasn’t something that would be seen in front of the emperor, but he didn’t bother pointing it out.

After a while, Crawl opened his eyes and asked again.

“Your Majesty, the Master of the Magic Tower said the other day that the world is neither absolute nor perfect. What do you think, Your Majesty?”

Oh, that’s it.

The public evaluation that he was certainly close to the Great Mage was not wrong.

“The world is not absolute. There are only beings infinitely close to the absolute.”

With the expectation that in the far future, another great mage will be born in the Empire, I answered Crawl.
