83 – {Duty of the Chosen}

{Duty of the Chosen}

After talking with Nermine II, Theodore briefly moved into a deep forest where there were no people.

She said that no matter how fast she got the people she needed, it would take more than two hours, she said, while she was doing other things.

Aww!

As soon as I entered the forest, I heard the howls of wolves.

‘Come to think of it, the Thran Empire uses wolves as symbols.’

The wolves of the north were a common nickname for the Thran Empire.

The reason for this was that although wolves were common in the Thran Empire, there were quite a few unmanned families that kept wolves as pets.

There was also an order of knights only found in the Thran Empire that rode wolves instead of horses, called Wolf Riders.

It was bigger than the wolves of the Britannian Empire and the Arkhan Empire, and unlike the wolves of the two empires, which were brown, they were gray.

And since these forests were full of wild animals untamed by humans, Theodore did some preliminary work so as not to disturb his future work.

Koo Goo Goong-

By spreading his momentum around him, he overpowered him.

Ki-ing!

I saw the wild animals in the forest, who were wary of Theodore, a strange intruder, felt threatened and retreated on their own.

Having cleared the way of wild animals, Theodore unleashed her magic.

An image in the form of a square screen spread out in front of him, and Theodore knelt down on one knee and bowed politely.

[Skyroad Young master, look around you and you’re in the forest? Did you go to the Thran Empire?]

I saw the face of Philip I, the emperor of the Arkan Empire, on the screen.

“Meet Your Majesty, Emperor of the Arkhan Empire, Theodore Skylord, the heir to the Duke of Skylord.”

At Theodore’s bow, Philip the 1st giggled and laughed.

[Ha ha! You say your reputation as the chosen one has grown? And the relationship with Princess Yuria of the Arsene duchy is also very good.]

Theodore replied in a calm tone to King Philip I, who deliberately spoke in a teasing tone.

“That’s it.”

[Tsk, anyway, he’s a guy who doesn’t like being teased.]

Philippe I lightly clicked his tongue and grumbled.

[Even though he’s not a tough guy, if you try to make fun of him like a ghost, he notices and stays calm. It’s not really fun.]

“I’m sorry.”

[Tsk, you don’t show any gaps anyway. You say you have such a hot relationship with Princess Yuria, but is this also true for her?]

“I can’t believe it? I have the duty to be the sword that protects Her Majesty, but I have no duty to make Her Majesty happy in private. But Princess Yuria has the duty to make her happy. The comparison itself is wrong.”

[Yes, I also refuse to see you looking at me like Princess Yuria.]

“You are saying strange things. Could that be what Your Majesty meant? If you have such an intention, as a servant I recommend that you change your mind for the sake of the Arkhan Empire.”

[Whoa~ Anyway, teasing doesn’t work at all. The singularity that doesn’t match doesn’t change at all. Tsk.]

I couldn’t feel the emperor of the Arkan Empire from King Philip I, who was shaking his head.

[Okay~ Then, let’s stop joking around here. The conversation with Nermine II must have already ended, right?]

But that was short-lived.

The moment he stopped joking and asked in a serious tone, the mood he felt changed.

When he, who had changed into an atmosphere that felt the dignity of an emperor of the Arkan Empire, asked in a serious tone, Theodore also answered in a serious tone.

“Of course. They said they would be ready within two hours.”

[Yes. Any other stories?]

“Yes, I just asked for your cooperation as the chosen one, saying it’s not the time to talk about politics.”

[Precisely to show them in the name of cooperation, right?]

“Yes.”

Theodore thought of the face of the Thran Empire and asked for cooperation.

At most, they would get help with directions, but in fact, Theodore didn’t need that kind of help.

It was enough to move in a direction where the target beings could be felt, and he did not need guidance as he could move in various ways in space.

All of this was just to have them accompany those who would be the eyes and ears of the Empress of the Thran Empire, showing them some of the threats that lay ahead, and conveying the situation directly to the Emperor.

[Mmm. Carefully. The duty of the chosen one is important, but you are the heir to the Duke of Skyroad, the head of the 3 Dukes of the Arkan Empire. Young master of Skyroad, keep in mind that your life is not yours alone.]

“Of course.”

As soon as the talk of such an important matter was over, Philip’s mood changed again.

[By the way, it seems that the Duchess of Arsane knows who you are and makes the Duke of Arsane suffer less. hahahaha~ Thanks to you, it’s easier since Duke Arsane doesn’t come and complain.]

“…You must have suffered a lot.”

[Yes. Me too, Duke Arsane suffered a lot. Thanks to revealing that you are the chosen one, you are now taking care of the Britannian Empire, so the speed is really cool.]

“It would be difficult even if the Britannian Empire collapsed right away.”

[Yes. War of conquest and all things are already a thing of the past. Just because you conquer like before, the local people won’t follow you.]

Thran Empire, Britannia Empire, Arkhan Empire.

The reason why these three empires maintain balance is that the balance has been maintained for a long time, and people have made sure of their sense of belonging.

So, if you ruled the land, it was obvious that you would suffer from control, and the concept of war disappeared because both the nobles and the people of their own country would not accept the damage caused by the war.

Just in case, everyone strengthened their defenses, just in case, no armies were created to invade each other.

If the Britannian Empire collapsed under these circumstances, the aftermath would not easily subside.

On the contrary, it would be difficult to prevent the apocalypse.

[Then let me know if there are any other reports.]

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

[Okay, well then.]

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will close the connection.”

Theodore stood up after canceling the communication magic.

He did get some snow on his pants, but he just brushed it off lightly without touching it by just moving his magic power.

Erland and Gunnar.

They were the magicians and knights of the Thran Empire, and they were under the direct command of Nermine II, Empress of the Thran Empire.

To them, King Nermine II gave an important mission.

“Let’s help the chosen one. You guys will be able to follow him and find out what kind of apocalyptic danger the prophecy speaks of.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Leave it to me!”

The two of them, who had a past of following her around the cold territory of the Thran Empire and defeating her monsters, were glad to go out after a long time.

It would be different from the time when he followed Nermine II around the snowfields like before, but there was an expectation that following the chosen one and helping them fight the end would probably be an honorable thing to be proud of for future generations.

“Theodore Sky Road.”

“It is an honor to be with the Chosen One. My name is Erland.”

“I am Gunnar. I am truly honored to serve with the Chosen One!”

After exchanging greetings so lightly, the two started working together with Theodore.

‘That’s how I followed you… ‘

‘Where are you going?’

They didn’t move on foot, but Theodore Skylord accompanied them through space, so they didn’t know where they were.

And they were surprised by the fact that the power to move through space that Theodore showed was different from teleportation magic, but they expected that this level of ability would be only a part of the chosen one, and indeed, the various powers of the chosen one that the prophecy spoke of. I promised myself that I would definitely remember it with my eyes and report it to Nermine II.

Those who think so, even though they say they are only part of the level, couldn’t even imagine how terrifying the threat that would drive the world to the end would be.

Contrary to their thoughts, the two did not yet realize that this event would not be remembered as an honorable event to be proud of by future generations, but as a witness to a terrible tragedy.

“Shh.”

As they approached a village, Theodore stopped them both and raised his index finger, making a gesture to be quiet.

Unlike in front of Nermine II, Theodore seemed to be trying to hide his identity, covering most of his appearance, including his handsome face, with a hooded fur coat.

And because of the cold, they were wearing the same clothes, but the two of them were in a strange mood as they only showed their faces.

“Why is that?”

“Is something wrong?”

I asked Theodore in a small voice.

Thinking that there might be something in the village, the two were preparing to use magic and swords so that they could fight at any time.

“Let’s watch from now on. It won’t be a pretty sight.”
