chapter 59
59. Ready! Ready!
It seems that the devil kings have spread all the rumors about the neighborhood room where the god came out.
If I say this, the demon lords will complain that they are unfair. They never said that. I mean, I never said anything like that.
But rumors don’t always come from words. Either by action or by mood. If words circulate among people in any way, that is a rumor.
I’m sure he must have made a fuss in front of the warriors and Ridike, saying ‘Uhehehe!’ That’s why those five women come to me saying, ‘The demon lords are crazy!’
‘How to really do these things.’
She put up with the tiredness that made her feel like she would faint at any moment, and Lethe vaguely explained why she was like this to Ly Dike, who came looking for her.
I had a lot of trouble with the demon lords, but I was a bit tired because they were making a fuss.
The warriors I met before said ‘Aha! That’s right!’ And went back without much doubt.
Honestly, even if others don’t know, Sella Phi, who can’t live without alcohol and cigarettes, knew she would notice. But all she could do was murmur, even Sellafie, ‘what happened to the general public?’.
Ah. Do you not know because they are warriors? Can’t you imagine the situation of adults like that at all?
Lethe, who had reached that point, felt relieved inside. When she asked if the instructors and students did such a thing at the academy, she honestly had nothing to say.
‘Lidike is also a war hero and an elf also called a fairy… Will it be all right?’
From what I’m saying right now, demon lords are strange! It’s not, but the demon lords are so good! Isn’t it
That it would be okay, that it would be a good thing without much thought. Lethe thought so. Even so, she did not use words that could relate to the affairs of adults just in case.
“….”
The problem is, the warrior leader of the Blue Moon Tribe and the war hero of the Elves, ‘Eridike’.
‘Look at this.’
Unlike the warriors, he knows everything. To put it simply, it was a woman who was an adult among adults.
“… That’s good, Lethe. Then take a good rest today and see you tomorrow.”
“Then. It seems I was too careless. Fighting with the four demon lords is, of course….”
“This is strange. If I had done something like training with the four of them, there would have been a fuss.”
A look of bewilderment appears in Lethe’s eyes at the sharp point, and then disappears. She was the one who got into expression management very quickly, but unfortunately, Lee Dicke had seen it all before.
After leaving Lethe’s room, Lee Dike was slowly lost in her thoughts.
Well, first of all, her title as the first woman was taken away. Had she known it would be like this, would she have somehow spent the night in a barracks with Lethe during the war?
… No, no. If so, she might have just lost his mind. Wasn’t Lethe not able to afford it at the time? It is clear that she was only repulsed.
Even so, I can’t help but feel resentful. It’s sad, it’s unfortunate, and most of all, it’s annoying.
‘The Demon Lords. It’s going to be like this, but as soon as I came, they kept me in check.’
Aren’t they demon lords who don’t have cases? When a powerful rival called a colleague from the past appears, it seems to hold you in check for a while, but then jumps right on top?
I got hit! The thought of that is getting stronger. If I had known it would be like this, I would have used it to win Lethe’s heart, rather than wasting my energy trying to be friendly!
Liddike bit her lip and began to breathe deeply, as if trying to regain her composure.
Let’s think positively. Let’s look in a different direction. The first one was stolen anyway. Yes, the opponents were the demon lords, not anyone else, so there was nothing I could do.
Rather, as the situation progressed like this, I came up with a reasonable reason and justification for myself.
It is a competition that the demon kings started first. Doesn’t this make it less noticeable? Won’t it disappear at all?
Me too, I can seduce you enough. An elf who never falls for beauty. Like you, I share special memories with that man.
‘… Calling the war a memory is a bit ambiguous.’
Anyway, I don’t care anymore, isn’t that what I mean? Thinking so, Ridike emitted sharp light from her eyes.
It’s a little disappointing, but we can fight properly from now on. The seon-gong couldn’t fly anyway. It’s rather good that the other side did it first.
Next time, the game will be decided not on who strikes ‘first’, but on who strikes ‘strongly’.
Although my archery skills aren’t that great. Although he is the one who wields the bow because he is frustrated with the arrow that does not fit.
Anyway, the heavy blow was Ridike, who had confidence. She was confident enough to win even if she fought four demon lords.

‘I’m tired.’
It’s a little bit, but my head is pounding. Maybe it’s because I’ve been busy with work the past few days and haven’t been able to sleep. The crown princess took a deep breath and checked her schedule for the National Day next month.
Perhaps the National Foundation Day event will be the last official schedule as ‘Hwang Tae-nyeo’.
Just a few days ago. Going straight to the Emperor’s call to her secretly, she had to hear her unexpected words.
“The Crown Princess. Now she should prepare to ascend the throne.”
Although it is said that he lost a lot of strength due to old age and illness, the emperor is still the emperor. A person who managed to somehow maintain the empire during that difficult time and eventually rise to the position of victor.
I didn’t believe in anyone and I doubted anyone, but I believed in people’s abilities to the end and never doubted them. For the Crown Princess, the father and the emperor that she wanted to be like but didn’t want to be like again.
He said that he would give up her place to the crown princess now. The moment the embarrassing princess tried to take her luck, saying that she couldn’t do that.
“The Emperor’s seal is now out of my hands.”
A seal that only the emperor can bear. It was not in the emperor’s hand, but in the hand of the imperial chamberlain standing right next to it.
That means only one thing. The emperor had already made up his mind, and all preparations were already underway. The Crown Princess, without her knowing!
As expected, you are such a person until the end. You didn’t trust anyone until the end. The princess thought so and unconsciously had to bite her lip.
If you were thinking of giving up the throne. If only I had intended to give you the emperor’s seal! It would have been possible to mediate or stop the fight between the successors by quickly announcing the will.
Even if the name of the next emperor came out from the mouth of the emperor, someone might have kept the position, and someone might not have gone a long way from which they can never return.
But the emperor didn’t. I watched my children bite and bite and fight until the end.
And when the winner was finally decided, they started preparing in advance to place the crown princess on her throne as if they had waited.
My chest feels stuffy. Something cries and fills up. I want to say something right now. However, the crown princess was silent. Nothing came out of her mouth.
Didn’t you accept it now? What is the seat of the emperor? What kind of being should the emperor be?
“Are you finally accepted?”
And the emperor looked at the princess with a very slight smile on her lips.
“That’s what an emperor is. Don’t trust anyone Don’t carelessly listen to what anyone says. He is not meant to be a self-righteous argument. However, he wants to become emperor. The Crown Princess.”
To the emperor’s words, the princess answered and withdrew. Yeah, wasn’t that what she was prepared for?
Didn’t she hear the answer from the man, not from anyone else, and see the path she had to walk, not the path she wanted to walk?
It won’t take long to hand over the throne. The Emperor’s condition is already very bad.
No matter how powerful a country is, once its monarch is shaken, its roots will be in jeopardy in an instant. That’s why the emperor will inherit his position in the near future.
If you look at it that way, there is a high probability that this National Foundation Day event will be your last schedule as the Crown Princess. And after a while, he will mention the abdication and announce the appearance of a new emperor.
‘National Day. It’s National Foundation Day.’
It is one of the most important events for the Empire. Even when the war was in full swing, they celebrated the National Foundation Day.
A place to reward the loyalists who played an active part in raising the empire. A place to accept their eternal pledge of allegiance. And a place to show the steadfastness of the empire and the imperial family to the people of the empire.
Thus, the person who should be by your side most during the National Foundation Day is the person who has made the most contributions these days. He must have suffered a lot before the empire was maintained.
And the crown princess, she had already decided who would sit next to her on her national foundation day.
‘Sir Lethe.’
If possible, I wanted to give him a formal title through the National Foundation Day event.
Until now he’d been disgusted with it, but this time he had to. That way, when discussing companionship in the future, wouldn’t it be possible to prevent the problem of status in advance?
However, if you plan to call the person in question, it is best to meet first and ask for their understanding. So, the crown princess sent someone to her academy to bring Lethe—
“… Sir Lethe? Why is it that I don’t know….”
“Your Highness the Crown Princess.”
A scene unfolded that had never been seen before and could not even be imagined.
Lethe clearly looked tired. It was like seeing an old tree that had been sucked out of its sap and dried up.
