3 – 3.

“Is that true?”

“Yes, Your Holiness.”

The holy kingdom, the main body of those who worship Kiriya, the god of light.

“The Emperor of the Empire sealed Brother Xian on the throne.”

“Ummm… “

The gray-haired old man let out a low voice after hearing the report from his subordinates.

Suha carefully studied the old man’s complexion and continued talking.

“In the first place, Brother Shien was born in the Empire, and the one who most actively supported the subjugation of the demon king was the emperor, so it was unavoidable.”

“That’s right. But it’s a duke. It’s too much.”

“I heard that the Emperor and Brother Xian were close friends. Even in public settings, the emperor does not mind calling Brother Xian his friend, so isn’t he trying to strengthen the imperial authority after giving the ducal title to a trusted friend?”

“Even taking that into account is excessive.”

The old man closed his eyes for a moment and was lost in his thoughts.

How long has it been?

“John.”

“Yes, Your Holiness.”

“This is the composition of the warrior party. Have you ever thought it was strange?”

“Composition of the warrior party… Are you talking?”

Suha, who was called Yohan, opened his mouth after thinking briefly.

“One scout. Front three. One wizard and one priest. Isn’t that a standard composition?”

It was a common composition when a small number of strong people formed a camp.

In some cases, the front line decreases and the rear line increases, but it wasn’t to the point of being strange. Why would His Holiness say this?

“No. You can’t count like that.”

“Yes..? Sorry. I don’t know what you mean.”

“One elf. One of the two beasts of the empire. One Magic Tower and one Holy Kingdom. It is correct to count like this.”

The old man mentioned his affiliation, not the position of the warriors.

“That’s right, but…… “

“There is no kingdom.”

At the old man’s words, John exclaimed with a surprised expression.

“Ah… “

“The emperor was strangely active in subjugating the demon lord. He didn’t mind opening the imperial palace for the hero, moving several knights, and collaborating with the Great Forest and the Beast Man Alliance.”

“At the time, it was thought that he acted that way out of revenge against the demon king. Since he lost his father to the demon king, I thought he acted so aggressively.”

“However, when everything is over, there are things that feel a little strange.”

“Are you talking about strange things… ?”

“In the first place, the anti-demon lord alliance was formed on the continent. It was a situation where you could move the coalition’s assets and troops as much as you wanted without having to open a safe or move your direct knights. But the emperor didn’t.”

“It wasn’t like childish vengeance. Looking at it now, the empire’s stake in subjugating the demon king is too high. The kingdoms were thoroughly excluded.”

“No way… The emperor uses this as an excuse… “

The old man shook his head slightly, probably thinking that John had gone too far.

“It will not be a war. The Empire’s troops were seriously injured. There are also not enough justifications to start a war simply because there are few balls. Also, from what I’ve seen, it’s very likely that Brother Shien doesn’t like war. In a situation like this, even the emperor would not be able to raise an army recklessly.”

“Then… “

“I don’t know. It could be simply to prevent kingdoms from overstepping the authority of the empire… There may be other reasons I am not aware of.”

The gray-haired old man took a moment to catch his breath before continuing.

“Didn’t the saintess say she was coming here with her party?”

“Yes. His Holiness.”

“Since the Demon King has fallen, it would be better to hold a festival. Prepare the festival according to the time of the saintess’ arrival.”

“Yes, Your Holiness.”

As the subordinate went out to carry out the old man’s instructions, the old man sighed deeply and spoke to himself.

“Dear Kiriya. Please, look over the continent. Give the emperor reason and wisdom, lest he drown the continent in blood.”

The Pope was sincerely concerned about the fate of the continent.

———————————————

After Shien’s shocking declaration, the banquet was over.

When I asked when we were going to leave, he heard the answer that he would leave as soon as the banquet was over, so he almost grabbed his back, but there was no way to do it, so he let him go.

After that, the only thing left in front of me is……

“Your Majesty…… Your majesty…… “

“Yes, Duke. Tell me.”

“Keuk. There is no point in raising a daughter.”

“That’s already the fifth time.”

A drunken old man.

“I… How did I raise that child? How could she walk away without seeing her father’s face!”

“Calm down.”

“Ouch… “

What on earth do you have to drink to get Master drunk like this?

“Liella… Liel… “

Someone clean up this old man.

“After…… “

The next day, when I woke up in bed, my body felt heavy.

“How much did you drink…… “

The problem was that there was no one to stop the duke and the duke.

I have to work again from today, but my head hurts.

“Your Majesty, did you cough?”

As I tossed and turned, I heard the chieftain’s voice from outside.

“Come in.”

When permission was given, the chief chamberlain came in with honey water.

As expected, the chamberlain is quick-witted.

After drinking the prepared honey water, I changed my clothes and headed to the office.

Looking at the pile of papers on the desk in the office, I sighed.

Is it like this just because you played for a day?

“The chamberlain.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“You mean Congress, shouldn’t it have been eliminated?”

At the time I had just ascended the throne, there was something called the Imperial Council, and I shared a fair amount of work with them. I got rid of it because not only the work but also the authority was divided.

“Your Majesty…… “

“Just kidding.”

I sat down at my desk resignedly and started working.

“Chief Chamberlain, call the Minister of Information.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Of course, the emperor’s work does not end when the demon king dies.

Rather, it should be seen as the beginning.

The game “Chien Chronicles” Was a game in which the ending came out when the hero defeated the demon king.

That means I don’t know what will happen to this continent from this point on.

“Your Majesty, may I go in?”

After thinking for a while, I heard the Minister of Information’s voice.

“Come in.”

Dia Berger. The head of the family of Count Verzey. Head of the Imperial Intelligence Department.

The manager of “Arhan’s Eyes” That exist throughout the Empire.

He is competent and faithful, and unlike some uncles, he is a rare beauty, so he is a very dear servant.

“Meet the Emperor.”

“Minister. Report the damage suffered by the Empire in this war.”

I have a rough idea, but it would be quicker to hear the exact details from Dia.

“Yes. Your majesty. Two sword masters of the Imperial Knights were killed and one seriously wounded. Five hundred and forty Experts have been killed. Three groups of magicians were wiped out and seven magicians were killed.”

“The leader of the South, Marquis Ruthe, was destroyed leaving only two survivors. After that, all nobles below the count betrayed the empire and surrendered to the Demon King, but were annihilated by the Imperial Knights. In the process, the vice-captain of the Hwangyoung Knights was killed and 23 experts were seriously injured.”

Damn traitors. My teeth grind just thinking about them.

It’s not like yesterday or today that humanity can’t be of one mind, so even if someone could betray, I thought it would come out of the Empire.

It is fortunate that there were no traitors after that, as it was known externally that they were all killed by the demon king.

“Since all the territories in the south have been devastated, property damage amounts to four thousand platinum dollars. Also, since Your Majesty used two hundred platinum coins to support the warriors, the damage to the property of the empire is approximately four thousand two hundred platinum coins.”

One platinum coin is about 1 billion won, so I guess I lost roughly 4.2 Trillion won.

It’s not a small amount of money, but it’s much better than the human damage.

“Minister. Can forces other than the Empire measure the damage we have done?”

” Other factions will know about the death of the master or mage, but others will not know properly.”

“Okay, then inflate the damage. The seriously injured master never recovered and retired. Two of the surviving magic corps were disbanded because the damage was so great, and all members of the Hwangyeong Knights corps, except for the leader, died or were seriously injured and could not move.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Ask for cooperation from the Marquis of Gyor and the Marquis of Grepa, and spread rumors that the soldiers of the two families and their vassals were also seriously injured.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Befitting a minister who handles information, the minister who understood the meaning of my instructions replied with a hard face.

“I… Your Majesty, can I upload just one word from God?”

“Of course. The Minister’s opinions are always of great help to Jim, so feel free to say them.”

“The king of Zer Kingdom is a cunning man. Even if we spread the information, there is a good chance that we will not act hastily.”

Zer Kingdom.

The strongest of the five kingdoms on the continent.

It didn’t openly form a union, but it is also a kingdom that actually acts as the leader of other kingdoms.

“It doesn’t matter. Hae-on’s kid is full of teeth, and Daman’s idiot is short-sighted. Anon’s messenger is arrogant, and Tamiel’s lunatic will attack even if he knows they’re doomed. If the old man of Zer tries to suppress them, even if he succeeds, he will lose his trust and become resentful ..”

And if it fails……

I didn’t bother talking behind my back.

If an empire can’t make war, why not let other kingdoms do it?
