Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

chapter 96



96 – Anecdotal 2

“Why did you show up now?”

No matter how far away I was, I was able to get a rough idea of Shien’s location once I made up my mind.

That divinity was revealed very easily unless it was determined and hidden, and Shien did not hide it.

Then, as she concentrated her nerves there, she discovered that another godhead had contacted Shien.

“Sarion… “

She has never seen him in person, but has held his sword.

The weak aura that had been felt from the old divine object, now realized that it was his divine being.

‘I don’t know where Sarion is, but he’ll definitely be a reliable ally.’

According to Kiriya, who knows him well, there is no need to be wary of Sarion. Shien’s personality is not on the angular side, so he won’t get into pointless fights.

Maybe it will be a chance of its own.

“Older brother… ?”

“Oh, sorry, Rael.”

“Oh, no. If you are busy… “

“Not really. I had something to worry about for a while, but it was resolved.”

After the appointment ceremony, a short break was given.

Kiriya said that he wanted to go see the Dragon Lord together.

By the way, you need to prepare a little to meet Lord, so please rest in the meantime.

So I was thinking about what to do, and I was drinking tea with Rael.

Family love… Than. Honestly, I was curious about how the inspection team was doing.

To be honest, it’s true that I haven’t been paying attention to the inside of the empire lately.

There’s no such thing as a rebellion, and even if it does happen, it will be sorted out with a few gestures, but I can’t know everything about what’s festering inside.

“Rael, what about the guards?”

When I brought up the topic, Rael took out the report he had prepared and read it with a dark expression on his face.

“… This.”

“In fact, most of the high-ranking nobles were unexpectedly clean.”

The great nobles of the count class are very cautious in their behavior compared to their power.

It’s easy to stand out no matter what you do, and if you do something wrong, it could be seen as a challenge to the feudal lord.

Moreover, the power of the feudal lords has become stronger as it is now.

If you act tyrannically or harass the commoners for no reason and get caught wrongly, your family might be lost.

How dare you do this in my land? Because the feudal lords might move.

But below that.

A petty baron or knight.

They are at the level of one or two villages, and never stand out among the feudal lords.

The tyranny of such people was more serious than I thought.

“Assault to confiscation of property is a common occurrence… Early night? What is this guy doing?”

After…

“So, Rael Arhan.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What action did you take?”

“First of all, I killed them all.”

“… ?”

I was so surprised that I dropped the teacup I was holding.

However, Rael looked at me with poisonous eyes and continued his report.

“I witnessed the scene. I saw fathers who lost their daughters and orphans who lost their parents. Those who died of starvation, those who lost their homes and died while wandering. Even those who are mentally broken.”

Rael, who had said that, stopped breathing for a moment.

The princess was also in a situation where she had only encountered reports of the suffering of commoners before.

So, it seems that after witnessing these events, he naturally made up his mind.

“Therefore, with the authority given by His Majesty, all the heinous criminals were executed.”

So the princess said as if she felt relieved.

“That was good. It matches the way I hoped it would, but I didn’t expect it, and it did better than I expected.”

Certainly, there was no princess who was infinitely benevolent that I had ever known.

She is still an arrow, but it would be correct to say that the princess has grown up with her own strictness.

The Inspection Corps will continue to trust and entrust Rael.

Thinking of that, I asked Rael about the personnel of the guards.

“Sir Giel has returned to the imperial family, but who did you appoint as the captain?”

“Ar has taken over the captaincy.”

“Arra… “

A master who once attracted my attention with his brilliant talent and even received a personal gift, but was half-broken by the mental shock.

However, he was a master who had excellent skills and was considered by the leader of the Hwangyoung Knights of the time as his successor.

“Surprisingly, brother.”

Rael, who predicted my thoughts, said with a bright smile.

“It has improved a lot. Beautiful.”

“That’s kind of surprising.”

It’s easy to break the state of mind, but fixing it is difficult even for transcendentalists.

If Ar had recovered while traveling with Rael,

It’s not that Arga is Rael’s escort.

Rael became Ar’s doctor.

“Yes, then you should keep your promise. Ar is the four people of Rael.”

“Yes, brother.”

Actually, it didn’t mean much.

After all, Rael is mine.

But it must be meaningful to Ar and Rael.

Because the emotional element is just as important as the real power.

After that, I had a few talks with Rael.

It was not a conversation between a brother and her sister, but between the emperor and the princess who led the guard, but it wasn’t awkward at all.

“Captain.”

“What is it?”

“Are you okay?”

“What?”

The training center of the Imperial Knights.

Soon, a great war broke out again on the continent, and Peltz, who heard from His Majesty the Emperor Lyra, stayed at the training ground every day, and his captains visited Peltz every day.

Today, Shen, the second leader of the Imperial Knights, visited the training ground.

“Because only the captain hasn’t been given a title yet… “

“In the first place, it was customary for the leader of the Imperial Knights to not hold a title until he retired.”

“That… !”

That’s right, didn’t all the previous captains come from nobles?

Shen, the leader of the second team, couldn’t bring himself to say it, and swallowed the words behind his back.

“Shen.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Your family was a count, right?”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Then you are a count, and I am a commoner. Are you ignoring me?”

“How could that be?”

“Yes. Why is that?”

“That’s right, Captain… “

When he was about to speak, Shen felt awkward and stopped talking, but Peltz didn’t wait for the gap.

“Now it is an exhibition. Even when I became the leader, it was an exhibition. After all, force is more important than title in wartime. His Majesty knows that, so he doesn’t give me a title. You may know that I am not interested in the title sooner.”

Peltz paused his sword for a moment and then said while arranging his weapons.

“Shen. What I need now is not a title. It’s a skill The head of the imperial knights, the best knights in the empire, couldn’t subdue even ogres alone.”

“You weren’t just an ogre, were you?”

“The seat I am sitting in is not a good seat even considering that. Shen, stop worrying about useless things and start practicing. Go and tell the other captains not to talk nonsense.”

“But…… “

As Shen continued to hesitate, Peltz let out a deep sigh.

“Shen, when this war is over, I am king.”

“Yes… ?”

I didn’t want to tell you because it’s not a good story because it’s widely known.

“His Majesty called me privately and told me. Yeongji refused, and he said he would drop off a large mansion in Jedo instead. He prayed that if he had adopted children or had descendants, he would be able to pass on the count.”

“Ah… “

“Then tell the captains to bother me less. I don’t have a family, so I understand that I can’t come to the training ground every day, but I come out a little more often.”

“Yes? Hey, we’re on vacation right now… “

It is true that most of the Imperial Knights, including the captains, have been on vacation after the battle with the Ogre Lord.

Only a handful of people, including Captain Peltz, remained and were training.

“Noisy. Right now… “

“Here you are, Lord Peltz.”

“Sir Giel… ?”

It was Giel, the leader of the Hwangyoung Knights, who saved Shen from a cold sweat.

“If you’re not busy, let’s have a drink with me. Please come out even if you are busy.”

“How have you been, Chestnut?”

“It was very difficult. Even though I, the vice-captain, and the team leaders worked together, it wasn’t easy.”

“Hmm, but you killed Sir Peltz himself.”

“What about Sir Giel?”

“I tied him up, and the magician corps commander killed him.”

Hwang Yeong-ki, division commander Giel Van Dio, said while wetting his throat with alcohol.

Both of them drank, but Giel, a descendant of the prestigious Bendio family, drank slowly according to the etiquette, but Peltz waited for Giel’s words, confiding in one mouthful.

“I am the leader of the Hwangyeong Knights. He is the leader of the shadows of the Empire. However, he couldn’t even kill a single monster. Not a god, not a snake.”

As Peltz was trying to find something to say to comfort him, Giel grabbed a map from his chest and threw it at Peltz.

“This?”

“A letter to your pupil, His Highness the King of Thunder. It came through the Imperial Knight, and he said to see me first and tell Lord Peltz.”

Peltz received the letter and opened it.

There, a map showing a certain place was drawn.

“He told me to come here. You too me too.”
