Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

71 – Part 2 Episode 27

“Hmm… I didn’t expect to go to the wolf so vainly.”

Somewhere on the continent.

“Are you sure that a beast is a beast? No matter what, I thought you would tidy up the name value. Well, it’s wrong to expect something like a beast.”

A woman trembled in a room decorated with a six-pointed star, a symbol of demon worshipers.

She was once a woman who suddenly appeared among humans and taught them how to gain power in exchange for worshiping the demon king.

“Hmm? Hey, don’t be funny. That’s why it’s my fault hmm? Didn’t I suggest it? Was it? Don’t you remember?”

The sly woman spoke impudently.

“Ah, if you hadn’t put all your effort into hiding me in the first place, you would have succeeded a long time ago? Well… I guess not. If it wasn’t for me, things would have been much harder. Who planned the civil war between the dragons?”

As if responding to the woman’s words, her black aura shuddered, and she seemed to understand the shimmering as well.

“Oh, how did you get caught? Are you stupid of course

I got caught! If I’m a person with the ability to fool even the Dragon Lord, then I’m the Demon King? Our king can’t do that! Hmm… I don’t even know why I stayed silent. Guess the dragon lord didn’t like the oldies either? Or, did you think it would be more fun for me to be alive?”

The woman who had been talking a lot opened a chest of drawers while waving her hands as if she was tired of it.

The chest of drawers contained several marks, each representing a certain god.

“Shh! I have to work now, so don’t disturb me.”

The woman who said that thought as she lifted and placed the markers like a child choosing her toys.

“Um… Who would like… I can’t control the darkness, what? Drank? Are you crazy? Let’s call the devil while consuming the devil like that? Suicide is done alone. Oh, are you just leaving because you won’t die?”

“How about going out on your own? No, I do not want. I’m afraid of Kiriya, and I’m afraid of the world capital. Even the emperor is terrifying. Did you feel it? Just a little while ago, all the countries went under the Emperor. I can’t deal with that. I don’t.”

“Ah, of course there are demonic lands. No matter what you decorate there, how much can you do? Don’t talk nonsense, wake up the beasts.”

The woman who shot the black mist off her made her decision after thinking for a while.

“Okay! I decided on you!.”

After she decides on a certain mark, she puts that mark on the badge. I refined it into

Shape and put it on my robe.

At that moment, the playful atmosphere from before was gone.

“Things like bugs… “

The woman remembered a fool she had seen in the past and she imitated him.

Body, face, voice. To the apparent gender.

Everything has changed.

“Soon the true master will descend, and the false strong will soon turn into a handful of blood in front of him. This one body will go ahead and pave the way for him.”

Once upon a time, she was the woman who led the demon king worshipers.

From noble mtl dot com

“Slaughter will soon descend.”

She became the head of the cult of Slaughter.

—————————————————————————-

The day after the banquet was over, I summoned the Lion King and the Hyeonwang, and held a meeting with the imperial feudal lords who arrived later.

“First of all, there will be an old meeting here, and a first meeting, so say hello.”

Even though he was loyal to me, the Lion King said, showing his strength with his whole body, probably because he didn’t want to be looked down upon by the feudal lords.

“Nice to meet you. I am Krause Arnon. The King of Anon and the Empire… God.”

Ah, come to think of it, you haven’t been formally appointed yet.

“The Lion King and the Hyeonwang, I will grant the title of Marquess of the Empire.”

“Hmm?”

The Lion King’s eyebrows furrowed as he must have thought that he would receive the duke’s title.

The wise king also didn’t look bright, but Fred, the Marquis of Grepa, spoke up.

“There are very few dukes in the empire. In fact, there are only two of them except for the Grand Duke of the North, who is close to an honorary position, so don’t be too offended by the two kings. Grepa is… I don’t think I’m weaker than Zer, but I’m also a marquis.”

After saying this, it would be very difficult to elevate the Greppa family to the duchy, but Fried, who didn’t care much, told me.

Originally, he was going to say Anon and Zerbo, but it seemed he changed his words after feeling the Lion King’s ability as a master himself.

“Well, let’s say that for now. The title of the empire is not important. I swore allegiance to the emperor yesterday.”

I wondered if it would be more rampant because it was the Lion King, who has an arrogant personality, but surprisingly, the Lion King didn’t seem to pay much attention to his title.

It could be because Anon’s identity as the king is stronger, or it could be because he knows that he is valuable even without such a title.

When the Lion King came out like this, even the current king couldn’t say anything, and Duke Pale spoke to the Lion King with a trembling voice.

“… You. You have become stronger.”

“Yes, from what I hear, Ron, you look old. I heard you were seriously injured by a spell-maker.”

Pale seemed shocked enough to be unable to respond to the Lion King’s sarcasm.

It must be because the status of the Lion King, who he thought was his subordinate all his life, was too high.

However, the Duke of Fail was not someone who would collapse just because he was shocked, so I thought maybe this could be an opportunity for the Duke of Fail to become stronger.

“Ah, the two of you used to know each other, right?”

In place of Pale, who was unable to speak, the Duke of Rose Triel continued the conversation.

“My name is Rose Triel. It is an honor to meet you two.”

“It is an honor to meet you too, Duke Triel. He’s met the previous duke a few times, but he doesn’t look much alike. Belion Zer, who swore allegiance to His Majesty in the same way, is the King of Zer.”

“Fried Grepa. The owner of a glorious family entrusted with the West by His Majesty, and the Marquess of the Empire.”

“… Please call me Count Verde. Heon’s… King… no see.”

“My name is Aran Fel. Thanks to Your Majesty’s grace, I have been given the title of Marquis.”

“Pel, Ira… “

As if he had never heard of Fel’s name, the Lion King repeated.

“He was an earl until recently, but he gave me the title of marquis because he was loyal and capable in Jim’s eyes. Perhaps you two are the princes who need the most care.”

“Yes… ?”

I explained in response to the Hyeonwang’s question.

“Hyeonwang, you know my academy, right? You also followed

I mean.”

“… Of course.”

“As you know, Jim’s academy has been raided and has become difficult to operate. That’s why Jim is thinking of creating a new academy. He dedicates the entire eastern part of the continent to a huge academy that can accept all the people of the continent.”

I was explaining that far, but I passed the right to speak for a while as Duke Roget sent an intense look in his eyes saying that he had something to say.

“Duke Roget, do you have something to say?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. That… I know it may be off topic to say this, but… “

“Please feel free to speak. You deserve it.”

Duke Roget seemed to be thinking for a moment, then put his body close to me and whispered in my ear.

‘Your Majesty, it’s not like I don’t know the reason why Your Majesty treats you with respect.’

Hmm?

Oh, you mean my tone?

He rose to the throne before he became an adult, and the emperor

It became a habit after facing nobles who lived twice as much as me every day in a situation that was not very powerful.

‘Now that you have become the owner of the continent, wouldn’t it be okay to speak comfortably… ?’

Even after talking, Duke Roget seemed to be looking at me to see if I was being too arrogant.

‘I’m not saying it’s wrong. Isn’t it a bit sudden?’

‘Yes, Your Majesty. That… Everyone in the Empire knows Your Majesty, but people from other countries might misunderstand if Your Majesty treats you too well.’

In the empire, whether I was half respected or not respected, I knew it anyway.

… Do you have a point?

It won’t be easy to change the tone of your mouth after using it for a long time, but it’s worth a try.

‘Jim will seriously consider it. No, I’ll consider it.’

‘… ! Thank you, Your Majesty.’

“… Then let’s get back to talking about the academy.”

“… ?”

After talking with the Duke of Roget, when he started talking again, he started talking in short words.

Well, according to Laios’ memories.

Even when the three of us got together when we were young, it was Duke Roger who paid the most attention to trivial things like this.

” As I said, I will build an academy of unprecedented scale. Not only the nobles of the empire, but also the descendants of powerful people from all over the continent will gather.”

“… Are you a hostage?”

“A hostage? Do you think Jim will need hostages?”

“… Then it’s unity. No, it would be more accurate to call it a fairy tale.”

Should I be called the wise king? His head is running fine.

“Hyeonwang, from now on the empire will soon become synonymous with the continent. Only institutions will reign above, kingdoms below. Including your Zer.”

“… ?”

I told you about my idea again here.

Only then did the Hyun King realize my painting and his expression darkened.

Because, even in the very distant future, the possibility of Zel escaping from the shadow of the Empire is very low.
