I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines

103 – Tomorrow

The fight is over. It was a perfect victory.

They pooled their remaining strength and attempted a final gamble, where they lost.

Not all Kazot members and collaborators have disappeared, but at least the leadership that could have gathered them has been wiped out or defected.

A lot of things happened. Although the academy’s classes progressed somehow, the fight had not yet disappeared from people’s minds.

Kazot was crushed. There will not be a crisis in which this world itself will disappear, at least for a few years or decades.

Nevertheless, the work I have to do is not finished.

It rained. Katharine chose the day carefully and deliberately waited for the weather to start the event.

“Wow, it’s here!”

“Where is that bitch going?”

The war was not short. Despite Katharine’s young age, she often inflicted her numerous wounds on others.

This place was like a symbol.

It was a massacre. It was a place where countless people disappeared as sacrifices to black magic.

Catherine said, ‘First they betrayed Erst, and because of that, hundreds of soldiers died, and thousands of civilians had to die from famine and poverty.’ But that did not make the massacre she committed disappear.

Not only me, but many people were looking at her.

“Kick it out!”

“How could this land be regained, but that evil warlock can be brought back here!”

“How many years have passed… Has this place been conquered?”

Many people looked at Katharine. Katharine calmly and gracefully accepted her hatred.

She must have been used to it. She said, ‘Why should I be hated?’ He wasn’t a novice warlock spouting the same foolish words.

Katharine accepted her anger. She admitted that she used someone else’s life as a means to an end.

Numerous tombstones filled the large tomb.

However, depending on the perspective, this tomb was closer to a building than a ‘tomb’.

The dead were not buried here. In the first place, not many people were able to find the body intact.

After the massacre occurred, the empire that reconquered the area deliberately built a large and massive tomb.

Since the body couldn’t be found anyway, there was no one to point out whether to make a hundred tombstones or a thousand tombstones.

This is a battlefield. Famous nobles could be buried under a proper tombstone, but for ordinary soldiers, vagabonds, and refugees, it was common to just roughly create a ‘corpse pit’ and bury them.

However, the empire created numerous tombstones. Rather than comforting the dead, it was intended to condemn Erst and unite domestic public opinion.

Rain is pouring down. The ground is soggy. Catherine’s dress, which did not use an umbrella, naturally became entangled with dust and became dirty.

Katarin, standing in front of the huge tombstone, knelt down.

“I’m sorry.”

A sharp-witted person would have been able to tell that black magic was at work even the moment Katharine lowered her head.

However, even for someone who knew this, it would have been difficult to point out her denial openly.

“I know I’ve committed too many sins. I know I don’t deserve forgiveness, but at least… Right here and now. I want to get down on my knees.”

It was just black magic that allowed her whispering voice to be easily heard by onlookers around her.

Katharine sobbed sadly. No matter how many people claimed that she was a witch and made clumsy accusations that were too obvious to even be called reasonable, it was difficult to openly criticize the ‘crying woman’.

Besides, the princess and I were here. Negotiations between the empire and Erst territory were in progress, and an unusual atmosphere of peace was being created.

Although there were many people who hated Katharine, they could not bring themselves to harm her directly.

It was a rainy day. Catherine’s dress became dirty, and rain ran down her face.

It had quite a huge meaning.

‘To be honest, it’s hard to expect that he would have truly reflected on it.’

She won’t regret it. She must be thinking that she only did what she had to do to become strong, to fight against the empire, and to protect Erst.

But, as always, what matters is action. She got down on her knees for peace.

The number of people who are afraid of Catherine will decrease. However, more people will think, ‘Maybe she can be trusted.’

The Empire would be fine with using less political power to maintain peace with Erst. A knight seeking fame will not set his sights on this land, but a merchant seeking greed will be interested in the new market.

The kingdom will also have no choice but to fear Erst, who joined hands with the empire against their will.

It may not be possible to hold Erst’s leash through supplies like before. If the empire tries to develop Erst with funds instead of war, it may be difficult to respond easily with the kingdom’s economic power.

In all the developments and circumstances, Katharine’s true intentions for kneeling down were not that important.

The world was changing into a more stable form.

/////

The beautiful scent of Eunyoung tea filled the student council room. A small tea party was held.

“Ugh… I don’t understand. Something like this happened, and I came back to school unharmed.”

Claire pouted her lips.

“I guess it can’t be helped. The fact that Wade is at the Academy… Within the order of the Empire is reassuring to many people.”

Yurishia smiled slightly.

“But Wade, can you really be satisfied?”

“What kind of satisfaction do you mean?”

“His Majesty the Emperor is very satisfied with your performance. If you go to the capital right now and see him, you can receive a title.”

“Well, I might need it someday… But it’s not urgent.”

Considering the power I had, it was not good for ‘big changes’ to occur in the world right away.

The peace in the Erst region was not a small event, but it was ultimately a political event.

There were many people who thought I was involved in this, but most of them were just speculations without evidence.

But if I start to intervene in the world with my authority, people will become even more wary of me.

Receiving the princess’s favor and having a good relationship with Catherine were important, but the most important thing was my own strength of hers. The power to tear the world apart and achieve whatever you want.

“There are a lot of stories, right? There are rumors that I am creating a kingdom, and there are also rumors that I will side with the empire and invade other kingdoms.”

People are afraid of what they cannot understand. Sinless black magic, immeasurable power, was nothing short of fear itself.

What happened in Cordoba spread. At the Academy, the story spread that he had single-handedly defeated numerous Kazot executives.

Even though they were united in the final fight, they were strong. Even those who do not know the process and flow of battle are powerful people who cannot help but shudder at the mere fact that their corpses were discovered around the academy.

“There are rumors that he will take the kingdom’s side and destroy the empire, or that he will create a world ruled by black magic and corruption… Anyway, there are many stories.”

“There is no need to be afraid of nonsense.”

“But for the time being, we need to show that nothing will change in the world.”

“I see…”

“And personally, I also want to take a break now. There were so many things to worry about until now.”

I always felt like I was being chased. If I fail, if I’m a little unlucky, or if I don’t detect the variable in advance, the world could have been destroyed.

From now on, I didn’t think I would have to live with that kind of pressure.

“I haven’t thought about it. Your personal desires… Okay. Nothing that comes to mind strangely. It wasn’t hugging women, drinking alcohol, or enjoying power or power itself. So, what do you want? “< Br>

Yuri Xia widened her eyes as if she was surprised.

“I’m going to take Claire out to eat something delicious and study a bit. Seriously, there are so many things I want to learn.”

“You?”

“There are a lot of things about black magic that I haven’t learned yet. Well, just for fun, I think things like history and social culture would be good.”

“It’s fascinating.”

It may be a boring and tiring field of study, but to me, this world was still half a ‘world in a game’.

Rather than opening a boring history book and studying to memorize it, I felt like I was digging into a blog filled with the lore of the game.

“Aren’t you going to create a country?”

The door opened. Here she was, dressed in plain clothes, looking at me with her trembling eyes.

“Olivia, are you here? How was Fabian?”

“Yes. The facilities in the prison didn’t seem that bad. But, what you just said…”

“Right now, it seems difficult just to solve the Erst problem. It’s my force… I could create it if necessary, but I have no thoughts on it right now.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Lilian and Carbossa… I think something will happen that I need to help with.”

It’s easy to create a wound, but it takes a lot of time and effort to heal it.

Lillian dropped out of the academy. It seemed like she was rebuilding the Hergan Forest with Karbosa.

Kellin was helping them. It may be atonement, or it may just be a service to Catherine.

“Right now, I’m going to rest. I’m going to attend the academy until I graduate.”

I will enjoy the present. With expectations for the future.

“What are your plans next?”

“Maybe I’ll travel around the world.”

It will make many people make concessions and admit it. Peace will take root, and people will understand each other instead of fighting.

Because I hope this world continues.
