72 – regret

‘At that time… I didn’t show my abilities.’

Aren regretted deeply in his heart.

The day I first saw Lisbeth Britannia.

Aren had resisted the Emperor’s command with his own ability.

Although this is a simple word, it was actually a huge event, and it was impossible to completely resist the emperor’s command, whether it was an Aura Master or a great wizard.

If the Emperor says ‘die’ to the Auror Master, that person will surely die.

He would not commit suicide right away, but in a corner of his head, an obsession to listen to the emperor’s orders arises, and the moment his will weakens, he harms himself.

Truly empowered.

And Aren perfectly resisted such fraudulent abilities.

‘… what should I do?’

Aren’s head was filled with confusion because he knew the fear of authority.

If the emperor tried to have himself by force, there would be no answer.

Seeing Aren in a state of panic, Milia said.

“So I tried to kill you. If you go under the emperor, it will be a big obstacle to me.”

“… put.”

Hearing Milia’s words, Aren unknowingly burst into laughter.

‘obstacle? I?’

Milia, who heard that laugh, wrinkled her expression and said.

“Why are you laughing?”

“I laugh because it’s funny.”

“Say it straight.”

As Milia breathed life and said, Aren also used the shore to glared at her.

“It makes me laugh because you think like X.”

“…do you want to die?”

“You originally intended to kill me, right? If you can, try killing me.”

oh oh oh

The conversation so far made it difficult for Aren to keep his composure.

When Aren heard her words, deep anger welled up inside him.

“Milia Britannia, you don’t know much about the Emperor, do you?”

“What are you saying.”

“How are you trying to defeat the emperor just by cutting it off?”

Milia, who had been listening to Aren’s words, also glared at him as if to kill him.

“You talk like that because you know what.”

“Of course I don’t know about the emperor himself, but I know better than you about his ability. I observed it myself.”

Aren said with a sneer.

“The reason you want to kill me is just a reserve for the future? I understand that you’re full of confidence after becoming an Aura Master… but you don’t think you can beat the emperor to that extent, do you?”

“……”

“As a high human like the emperor, I assure you, you will never be able to defeat the emperor with that mindset, let alone your current skills.”

“Shut up!!”

At Aren’s assertion, Milia’s life grew even thicker.

“What are you talking about knowing! What have I been doing all this time! What efforts have I made! Do you know!”

“The result is the same, you can’t beat the Emperor.”

“This bastard!!”

As Milia walked towards Aren, Isaac and Valtos hurriedly began to stop her.

“Calm down, Princess! It really can’t go any further than this!”

“Aren Deepus! Do your best too!”

At Baltos’ words, Aren snorted and said,

“I don’t like it? Why do you listen to the people who want to kill me? Come to think of it, is it really like that? Can’t you guys just run wild? And get out of here.”

“This bastard…”

As Baltos got excited this time at Mohammed’s provocation, Isaac hurriedly stepped between the two and shouted.

“Stop! Stop! Let’s move our place first! At this point…!”

jump

As Isaac continued to speak, the door to the principal’s office opened, revealing the huge figure of Principal Tristan.

“……”

“……”

“…What I just said was a joke, Baltos-senpai. Ah! There’s a place to have a conversation over there! Let’s go!?”

“Is that so? Let’s go guys! Why are you standing in the hallway talking?”

“Princess, I will serve you. This way.”

“hmm.”

rumble

Aren led the students out of the corridor quickly.

Principal Tristan glared at the students for a long time with an expressionless expression.

“……”

“What are you doing, Grandpa?”

“No… nothing.”

Tristan, who eventually turned his attention to Rachel’s call, sighed and entered the principal’s office.

***

Aren’s group moved to the foreign students’ annex far away from Principal Tristan and resumed the conversation.

In the meantime, Aren, who had regained his composure, spoke again in a calm tone.

“First of all, I have no intention of going to Britannia. Of course, I have no intention of fighting Miria-senpai either.”

“I would have said it wasn’t up to you to decide.”

Millia said with a cold expression.

“Your Majesty is more greedy than you think. It doesn’t matter if you refuse or not. I will take you by any means, whether it’s threats or whatever.”

‘… Really?’

Certainly, in the position of emperor, taking Aren by any means seemed unlikely.

No matter how much he thought about it, there was no sharp way, so Aren sighed lightly and said while looking at Milia.

“Anyway, let’s finish this at this point. I don’t intend to make it big. Please don’t take my life from now on.”

“……”

“You know?”

“……”

When Milia didn’t answer, Cecilia glared at her and said,

“Why don’t you answer?”

“……”

“Do you want to die?”

“You? Me?”

When Milia finally responded to Cecilia’s words, Aren said with a tired expression.

“I said it before… How are you going to beat the emperor just by cutting it off?”

“What do you think you know?”

“The emperor cannot win.”

“……”

When Aren spoke again in a confident voice, Milia’s expression hardened.

Seeing Milia like that, Isaac took the place and said.

“Why are you so sure?”

“Because I experienced it myself and saw her potential with my own eyes.”

Aren said without hesitation.

“Emperor Lisbeth is unique. I’m not talking about what you see with your own eyes. Emperor Lisbeth is loved by the world.”

“Excuse me?”

“It’s literally. Speaking of linguistic spirits, it seems that people say that her voice has power, but to my eyes, it’s more like a strong charm ability.”

“Attractive?”

She asked if Milia was also curious about Aren’s words this time.

“Are you saying that ability isn’t a spirit?”

“If you look at the result alone, there is no big difference between her eloquence and charm. Neither of them can resist her commands. However, from my point of view, her ability is not her voice, but her being. In short, she is nature. Of course, it is the ability to be blindly loved even by others.”

At Aren’s words, Baltos frowned and said,

“I don’t know what you’re talking about earlier, so you’re saying it’s called a spirit?”

“If you look at the details, it’s not, but if you look at the results, it’s right.”

“What else…”

“Shut up, Valtos.”

“……”

Milia cut off Baltos’ words and said.

“Yeah, sure you’re saying something different. So? Is there any way out of this situation?”

“… Shall we hold hands?”

“Keep talking.”

“There are a few things that come to mind as a way to target the spirit.”

“…!”

“…!”

At Aren’s words, the people in the room looked at him as if they were surprised, but Milia remained calm.

“It must be the power of High Human.”

“You know?”

“I told you. I know something.”

After saying that, Milia looked at Cecilia and Aren alternately and said.

“The power of High Human…”

“Even if you become a Grand Master, you can’t beat the Emperor. I promise you with my life.”

“……”

Aren cut off in the middle and said.

“Istal Giareid, the emperor of the Giareid Empire, went beyond Grand Master and entered the level of a transcendent. Even he couldn’t defeat Emperor Lisbeth.”

Aren said while looking at Milia after using the shore.

“Well, I think that senpai will be able to become a grand master someday.

“……”

Just as there are walls in all realms, of course there are walls in the way from Auror Master to Grand Master.

And the higher the realm, the higher the wall, of course.

However, no matter how quickly a warrior called a genius rises to the level of a master, he will live as a master for the rest of his life without enlightenment.

Milia was also a thing of the future, in which it was unknown whether even a genius could rise to the rank of Grand Master before becoming a Transcendentalist.

But defeating Emperor Lisbeth, who fights head-to-head with the Transcendental?

‘It’s just a dream.’

Frankly, it seemed impossible now and in the future.

When Mila did not answer, Aren continued.

“If you join hands with me, I will help you.”

“What help?”

“At least I’ll make it possible to fight against the emperor.”

“… by what means?”

At Milia’s words, Aren paused and said.

“… I’ll let you know once I get a solution out of my problem.”

“problem?”

“That the emperor is targeting me.”

“It’s impossible.”

Milia’s affirmation made Aren’s impression crumpled this time.

“Do you think and talk?”

“It’s impossible to be unreasonable.”

“Wait, wait.”

Isaac interrupted their conversation.

“Princess, I don’t think it’s bad to join hands with Aren. It’s true that, as he said, we are lacking a lot in terms of strength and strength.”

“… Really? But it’s impossible.”

Milia’s answer did not change despite Isaac’s words.

“There’s no way, no way. You, too, have a rough idea of the emperor’s personality, right? Now that you’ve been stamped by the emperor, it’s only a matter of time before you come over to the empire.”

“So think…!”

“No, there is a way.”

“…!?”

From noble mtl dot com

At Isaac’s sudden words, Aren looked at him with a hot gaze.

But Isaac didn’t say it right away and shook his head.

“Can you teach me how to do that first?”

“Am I not first?”

“It seems that our princess has no intention of joining hands with you.”

At Isaac’s words, Aren glanced at Millia and sighed.

“Actually, it’s not a sure way. We need to find one High Human.”

“What ability are you talking about?”

“Invalidation.”

“……”

At Aren’s words, Isaac slightly wrinkled his expression and said.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of this ability, and it looks pretty hard to find, doesn’t it?”

“Because it’s an ability that only works with gifts, I’ve actually seen it before.”

The person Aren saw was a person in a dream, but it was an ability that actually existed, and there was a good chance that it existed in this world.

However, the reaction of international students was not very good.

“Ha! There’s such a High Human? You’ve never heard of it? Then bring someone you’ve met before.”

Baltos said sarcastically, but Aren spoke calmly.

“He’s dead.”

“what?”

“He’s dead.”

“Ha! Then you brought up the story of the dead and were talking about a deal? This is very…”

“shut up.”

“……”

When Cecilia glared at Valtos and said, he really shut up.

‘I’m messing around with my sister!’

Aren, who lightly ignored Baltos, looked at Isaac and continued.

“Actually, there is another way, but this one is even less likely.”

“what is that?”

“Will you answer my question this time?”

As Aren stared intently at Isaac, he glanced at Milia.

Milia nodded slightly at that gaze, and only then did Isaac look at Aren and tell him how.

“You just need to become a high-ranking noble.”

“… high-ranking nobles?”

After Aren’s unfavorable reaction, Isaac began to explain.

“Your Majesty is certainly coercive, but he rarely crosses the line.”

“… I don’t know how narrow the line is.”

“For example, let’s say you’re the Marquis of Iggent. Besides, if your spouse already exists, the emperor won’t take you by force.”

“… after hearing it, it seems like that. So you’re saying get married?”

“Yes, but you must be a high-ranking noble. If you have influence over the country, even His Majesty will not be able to touch you. If you remain as the baron’s minority, His Majesty will take you.”

“……”

That’s not wrong.

No matter how much an emperor was, if he forcibly took a high-ranking aristocrat from a foreign country, he would not be able to receive good attention from other countries around him.

Besides, now Britannia was in a more sensitive period due to a war of nerves with Giaraid.

At such a time, leaving a bad image in other countries could lead to Britannia’s great loss.

“… no… but that’s… how else?”

“Well… I don’t seem to have anything in particular?”

At Isaac’s words, Aren had no choice but to fall into a panic once again.

Certainly, no matter how much I thought about it, there was no way that came to mind.
