Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

22 – 21.

“Oh, Bern. What is this like?”

“Noisy, Elia.”

Just the Kingdom, Platinum Knight’s Mansion.

Berne and Sylvia, who fled from the battle with Giel, the leader of the Imperial Knights, were staying at the mansion of Elia, who is called the Platinum Knight.

It is a mansion located in the capital, and it was a mansion that the King of Daman greatly cherished for Elia.

Elia, holding a wine glass in one hand, said to Vern, wearing the clothes that only high-ranking nobles like to wear.

“hahahaha, that Bern. Who would have expected that the world’s Bern would end up like this?”

The Bern that Elia knows is stupid, but not weak.

There were times when missions failed due to lack of ability to carry out detailed operations, but it wasn’t like this.

They usually failed their missions by killing the ones they were supposed to protect or destroying the ones they were supposed to capture.

It was the first time I had to retreat because of lack of strength.

“Damn it, I’m not defeated. If you made it to the end, you won.”

Knowing what Bern’s ability is, Elia nodded her head without denying her words.

“That’s right. But isn’t it the first time in a while that you couldn’t subdue an opponent in the beginning? You didn’t even use your abilities against the mercenary king or that wandering knight.”

“That guy named Giel. He’s no match for those small fish.”

Berne, who called Masters famous throughout the continent as small puppets, said with a serious face.

“I would risk my life to fight him. He is not an enemy you can deal with lightheartedly.”

Hearing her words, Elia’s face darkened as well.

To think such words were spoken against the head of the Hwangyeong Knights, not Ron Pale, the head of the continent’s best swordsman family, or Felts, the head of the Imperial Knights.

Considering that Bern is one of the strongest forces of the allies, and Hwangyeong Knight Commander is the main force of the empire, he is not the strongest, it was not a good situation at all.

“By the way, Elia, where is the king?”

“The Royal Palace. Since the envoys from the Empire said they would come to Daman, they are preparing to annihilate them in the palace.”

“Really? Shouldn’t I help too?”

To Sylvia’s question, Elia shook her head and answered.

“He said there was no need for that. You must have had a lot of trouble in the empire, so he told me to take a break first and then adjust my strength. Before the imperial envoys arrive, we have to be in perfect condition as much as possible.”

After drinking all the wine she was holding in her hand, Elia said in a slightly trembling voice.

“The day the envoys set foot in Daman. The curtain on the long revenge will finally rise.”

300 Years since the fall of Edelwein.

The surviving descendants secretly prepared for revenge for a long time.

Develop strength, accumulate assets, and pass it all on to posterity. It was also handed down to the next generation.

I endured that long period of time only to destroy the empire and to avenge the kingdom.

Now, when the empire has been weakened by the war with the demon king’s army, is the long-awaited opportunity.

If we miss this opportunity, we don’t know how many more tens or hundreds of years we will have to wait.

Perhaps the descendents may change and give up revenge.

So definitely. Certainly. We must destroy the empire in our ranks.

To avenge our ancestors.

For Edelwein.

All three people gathered in the room were determined with the same mind.

———————————————————————————

A training room on one side of the imperial palace.

Without knowing what Edelwein’s descendants are aiming for, a great war may break out sooner or later.

Because I felt I needed to become stronger in order to deal with more enemies than I expected and unexpected situations.

I sent an envoy to Daman, and I had devoted myself to training for a while, leaving trivial matters to Minister Dia and other subordinates.

I quietly contemplated the world with my eyes closed.

Countless laws of the world, infinite traces of those close to the absolute.

And the traces of the dragon that remain here in the imperial palace and the dragon’s blood flowing through my body.

Everything felt clear.

“MyeonghaNoni… ”

However, even today, as much as a dragon was not written.

What is the reason?

Is the dragon’s blood flowing through my body not enough?

I don’t think so.

If that was a problem, the Archduke would have noticed.

So, what about species, not blood?

The Archduke said that I must be able to use dragon words.

It is said that even if it is not a perfect dragon, there is also a history of writing dragon words by a harp that inherited dragon blood.

Among the ancestors of Arhan, there is an emperor who has a record of using dragon words.

So, am I less talented than him?

I’m not bragging, but I’m a genius.

I felt it while reaching the level of a mage during the war, but I felt it even more clearly while training in the Grand Duke and the North a while ago.

There has never been anyone who has reached the level of a great mage in such a short period of time as me, and there will never be anyone in the future.

I can’t use dragon words because I don’t have enough talent.

I felt the need to think a little more fundamentally.

What is a dragon?

Before being an authority, dragon words mean the words of the dragon.

In the first place, why did I try to learn dragon language?

I am an emperor, not a dragon.

If the world must be commanded, isn’t it right to do so as an emperor, not as a dragon?

Let’s throw away the framework of verbs.

The important thing is to give orders to the world.

“I command you.”

It was just a simple mindset change, but the result was quite different.

I felt that the rules of the world, which had stood firm until now, bowed their heads to me.

At the same time, I felt the eyes of the mighty people all over the world, including the Grand Duke in the north.

Kiriya in the heavens, the imperial guardian dragon on probation in the valley of the dragon, the world tree in the Great Forest, and many other transcendent beings.

From the most holy to the disgustingly wicked.

It was the gaze of strong men who had already far surpassed humans, but they weren’t particularly afraid.

I was convinced that their power would no longer harm me.

It’s still not enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with them, but against the descendants of Edelwein, this should be enough.

Yes, let’s call this Yellow Word.

———————————————————————————

“Your Majesty, you look in good spirits.”

“Well, there has been some achievement.”

“Ah, congratulations. Your majesty.”

I sat in the office for the first time since leaving the envoys.

“Do you have anything to report, Minister?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. A letter came from the Duke of Pale. He says he has now reached the borders of Daman and will reach the capital sooner or later.”

“Has there been any special news before reaching Daman?”

“It is said that one master from Zer and one master from Heon challenged Duke Pale, but were defeated by the lieutenant. Also, after ‘Black Swan’ defeated the Duke’s lieutenant, he challenged the Duke and was defeated.”

Oh, three.

That’s more than I expected, isn’t it?

“Okay. It’s also Pale. Now, let’s watch how Daman responds to the envoys and decide how to move forward.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What happened to Rael?”

“You entered the academy as Your Majesty commanded. She received a report that Count Darhan’s anxiety greatly decreased as the princess showed her how to get along with the commoners, and discrimination between classes within the academy was definitely reduced.”

“Good. What happened to the East?”

“As the Marquis Gior family, who was the leader of the eastern region, rebelled and fled to Daman, the eastern families that had no choice but to be related to Gior are on the defensive. Thanks to that, it is in a stable state in its own way, but it seems difficult to last for a long time as it is now.”

“Hmm… Right now, there shouldn’t be a great aristocrat to entrust the eastern part to. Have there been any nobles who have made achievements or made a mark lately?”

“No, Your Majesty.”

“Hmm… Well, I see. First of all, I’ll send my officials to rule it temporarily, but if I can’t find a suitable person for a long time, I’ll consider splitting the territory and giving it to the lords of the east.”

Or it could be a way to store it for a little while and later split it down to talented people who have graduated from the academy.

Ah, yes. Ar’s share should be left as well.

According to Lord Peltz, Ar will reach the level of master before long, and at that time he will be fine with entrusting the East with the title of count.

Since there is already a precedent with C.N., The opposition won’t be that big.

Of course, it would be difficult to play the role of leader like the Marquis of Gior, but wouldn’t it be okay to have academy graduates as vassals?

By that time, he must have established himself as a duke or duke in southern Shiendo.

Are of the East, Shien of the South.

I was really looking forward to the empire of that day, which would be filled with trustworthy young blood, not old nobles.
