Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

72 – Part 2, Episode 28

“Then are all those gathered here kings?”

“It’s not so… It’s not. In the case of Marquis Pell, he will serve as the president of the academy.”

“President… ? Oh what Right.”

The Lion King tried to ask a question, but he stopped, as if he realized something.

On the contrary, if the academy grows too big, even if you get to the position of president, you won’t be able to act as the owner properly because you’ll be concerned about me.

“Then, Heon, Zer, and Anon will remain. What about Tamiel? I know he was occupied by the Empire.”

“I decided to rule Tamiel, wise king.”

“Ah, Duke Pale. Then, is it the Pale Kingdom?”

Ah, come to think of it, the name is still settled.

It’s a world where the name of a country and the surname of its owner match anyway, so it wouldn’t be bad to just do that.

I nodded while looking at the Duke of Pale, and the Duke replied yes to the King.

I unfolded the map I had prepared in advance and spread it among the feudal lords.

“Now, the Arhan Empire will be a term used to refer to the current system. Everything else will be a kingdom. The East Coast now will be the academy.”

Triel in the middle, Grepa in the west and south.

“We will also revive the Continental Conference Hall. I’m going to subdue all the monsters around here. As in the past, if something big or small has to be decided on the continent, we can gather here.”

“… There is something I want to ask you, Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Ask me, the wise king.”

“If your words are followed, wouldn’t the empire be too small? No matter how much the imperial family, even if the two imperial knights and the magic corps stay…

I have sworn allegiance to you, so Xer is loyal to you. Anon is like that, and those who were originally feudal lords are naturally like that.

Even if that’s the case, you don’t know about future generations.”

Rather than really worrying about the future of the empire, it was like trying to figure out whether or not I had an idea.

If I had no countermeasures, I would be loyal in my own generation, but I was openly conveyed my will to prepare for Zer to take the initiative even in the future.

“Well, from your point of view, it must be a reasonable concern. I’m guessing there are quite a few people with similar concerns. But it is a useless worry. The future empire… Okay. It would be easier to think of the example of Seongguk. No matter how many years pass, no one cares about the continuation of the kingdom.”

“That’s because Kiriya is here… no way… ?”

“That’s probably right. I told the other princes before, and the Lion King must have noticed, right?”

The Lion King nodded his head with a look of course.

“If I had lost by that margin, I thought I would, of course.”

“Okay, Hyeonwang. You seem to have a rough understanding, so I’ll tell you more. Jim truly wants this continent to be united. The beginning will be the academy. How good would it be if the prince of the empire and the prince of the kingdom studied as alumni, built up friendship, and continued that friendship? At least the time between them won’t be the same as we were a while ago.”

“… Speaking of the imperial prince, do you have any thoughts on getting married?”

“Um… ?”

“Sometime after the emperor passed the age of majority, let alone get married, he said he had no woman close to him, so there are rumors of all sorts of rumors in our kingdom.”

Attention was focused on the Lion King’s question.

Duke Roget, who seemed to be very interested in this subject at first glance, who had already asked the same question the other day, was looking at him with twinkling eyes, and Fried was also looking this way as if he was interested.

It was the same with Duke Pale, who has an uncle-like aspect in a strange place.

“Ignore it. Even if you don’t listen, it’s obvious that it’s all nonsense. And that she has no woman close to her. She sees the Minister of Information almost every day, and the Duke of Roget often visits. The Grand Duke of the North also keeps in touch often.”

Of course, the latter part was a joke.

It also meant that I didn’t want to talk about this topic any more.

No, I’m not interested, but why the hell is it going around?

Well, it’s not like I’m not interested in women at all, but not now.

From noble mtl dot com

The damn thing called death controlled Edelwein and turned the empire upside down, but he’s alive and still antagonizing me.

Until you take care of him, it’s hard to have a comfortable relationship.

My theory is that I don’t have to worry about the succession issue anymore, since my lifespan is not 1200 years.

What if I suddenly die?

In the first place, if I were in danger of dying like that, wouldn’t the empire be fine?

Because it is harder for me to die now than for the empire to perish.

“Ha, a minister, a duke, and a grand duke. You are gorgeous. Since you are the one who sits on the throne, is that natural?”

Fortunately, the lion king was also taken as a joke, so I changed the subject and said.

“Anyway, I gathered you guys today not just to talk about the future. It is also to prepare for the present threat that will come soon.”

“Threat… ? Come to think of it, I think there were rumors like that.”

“I will explain that.”

The pope, who had been silent until now, stepped up and began to explain.

The reason why the Holy Kingdom intervened in the affairs of the continent, Kiriya’s message.

From the soon-to-be-awakened Demon Beast Kings to the enemies lurking behind them.

Since this was a story that had not been told even to the princes of the empire, everyone listened attentively.

After the pope’s words, the atmosphere, which had been quite bright as they joked about this and that, became quite serious.

“Are those evil beasts as good as the wolves you dealt with before?”

“That’s not true, Duke Pale. It’ll be weaker than that. It’s not to the extent that you can belittle it, though.”

First, Duke Pale asked about their strength,

“You never know when or where it will appear?”

“Yes. It is not accurate because it was recorded so long ago.”

The Duke of Triel asked about things related to their appearance.

“So, Your Majesty. What can I do?”

This was my cousin’s question.

“Freed. Along with the beasts, monster kings of a lower rank than them will appear. You and Grepa’s role is to subdue those monster kings. Cooperate with the Hwangyoung Knights.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Then what about me? Of course it’s a beast, right?”

Well, that’s right.

The reason I was happy when I confirmed the power of the Lion King was because I had more cards to deal with the beasts.

“However, I think it will be difficult for you, the Lion King, to deal with the beast alone. Pale Duke. I want you to be with me.”

“Then come with me… Can the two Lion Kings face the Beast?”

“No. I’ll even attach a black swan. Let the three of us deal with the beast.”

“Huh, it’s been a while since the three of us will see each other. Ron, don’t hold back.”

“… I never thought the day would come when I would hear that from you. At least until the beasts awaken, they will catch up with you.”

“Ha, wouldn’t it be easy?”

It was too childish to be a conversation between the king of a country and the duke of the soon-to-be king, but considering that the two were rivals since their youth, it wasn’t such a strange situation.

“The three of us will take care of one beast beast, and the other beast will be entrusted to the hero Shien and his party. I don’t think the beast beast is stronger than the demon lord, so Shien can do it. The third beast will be handled by Jim himself, and the rest of the power will be enough to deal with the monster kings that will appear everywhere.”

“Then, won’t there be one tummy tuck left?”

I nodded my head at Duke Roget’s question.

“Yes.”

“Then Sir Peltz and Sir Giel? If it’s the two… “

“Those two are not enough. And they have to subdue the other demon kings while protecting the empire.”

“Then… ?”

“Magic tower lord. I’m thinking of entrusting him with the last beast.”

“Huh, Your Majesty. Have you already enlisted the owner of the Magic Tower?”

“It can’t be. Duke of Pale. Shortly after hearing the story from the pope, I met the two kings and obtained oaths of allegiance. There was no time to subdue the owner of the Magic Tower.”

“… That word… ?”

“Is there a need to embrace it? Jim can move if he wants to.”

“Your Majesty… “

Duke Pale, who knew the danger of being a great mage because he had been attacked by Edelwein the other day, looked at me with a concerned expression.

No, of course I was joking, but why are you so serious?

“It was a joke. I don’t know what the owner of the tower himself thinks, but he owes Jim a debt. At the time, the situation was urgent, so we couldn’t investigate for a long time, but this time it will be different.”

Because the Duke of Pale was seriously injured and Edelweinnom was aiming for the Empire, the fact that the Master of the Magic Tower hid his identity and joined Shien’s party could not be investigated.

To be honest, at that time my level was less than that of the Mage Tower Master.

But now it’s different.

“Well, I think we’ve finished talking to each other. Duchess Roget? Go back and tell Minister Dia. Jim finally got his hands on Xer and Anon. It’s fine for the two kings to go back to their respective kingdoms. Sooner or later, there will be a large-scale declaration that the continent has become one, so prepare for it.”

“Yes. Yes? Your Majesty won’t go with me?”

“I have a place to stop for a while…. I will be watching.”

When I turned my eyes away from the feudal lords and looked into the air, the mysterious woman

A voice was heard.

“… Come.”

With a shuddering voice, a teleport line connected to the mage tower spread out in the air, and I left the panicked princes behind and entrusted myself to the teleport line.
