My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

36 – Childhood Friend Hero’s Despair (1)

The season when bright flowers bloom again.

Three months have passed since I brought Latika to Alprada Kingdom.

“Hmm…”

Looking out the window where flowers are blooming reminds me of the past.

Three months is probably the longest time in my life.

It’s only been 3 months, but a lot of really big events have passed during these 3 months.

‘Wow…! Xerath. I finally invented the steam engine.’

First of all, Latika developed what I wanted the other day.

I gave her enough time and her resources, and she developed them really smoothly.

In the first place, the theory itself was completed, and in the case of Latika, it was something that had not been developed due to lack of time and money, so I solved it and she succeeded really quickly and perfectly.

Looking at this, you can see that she was a really great person, and recruiting her was the right choice for her.

As the goddess said, the road to making the country stronger, thanks to her, the cornerstone was laid.

‘There are still a lot of problems, but it’s okay.’

Thanks to her, the winds of change began to blow in the kingdom of Alprada.

Slowly, the kingdom of Alprada welcomed a society that was centered on machines.

But even so, people naturally did not adapt well to the change, and there were still quite a few problems in a changing society.

Still, I guess I can overcome it slowly one by one.

It was possible if Latika and I worked hard.

‘Didn’t the Goddess say that the Alprada kingdom was used as a base this time?’

And the Goddess was going to help them.

The Goddess Church, the continent’s largest religion, was just about to enter after negotiating with the Kingdom of Alprada.

They decided to base their activities on the Alprada Kingdom instead of the Empire.

‘I was really surprised when they said that the Goddess Church was coming.’

Actually, I couldn’t help but be surprised when I first heard that the Goddess Cult was entering the kingdom of Alprada.

I know a little about the political situation of the Empire, but originally, the Goddess Church would never want to leave the Empire.

Aside from the fact that the Church’s vested interests have a close relationship with the Empire, there is a pretty close relationship between the Empire and the Goddess Church.

I never thought I would end the relationship.

‘Alkena seems to have managed to convince me somehow.’

Nevertheless, it seems that the power of Alkena was great for the Goddess Church to come to Alprada Kingdom.

There were no priests who could ignore the words of the goddess, the voice of Alkena, the voice of the goddess, and the voice of the saint.

Basically, it wasn’t that the saintess had special authority in any church, but she was clearly the representative of the goddess.

To disobey her in the first place is to disobey the goddess.

There was no way they could ever refuse.

In the end, the Goddess Cult came to Alprada Kingdom.

‘And…’

The big things I experienced thanks to Latina and Alkena.

Those things were obviously very big enough to change the fate of Alprada Kingdom.

But, I think this is the biggest thing.

“hehehe… What are you doing Xerath?”

“I was just… Thinking about it for a while.”

“I see…! Let’s go now. Could it be that you forgot what day it is today or something like that?”

“Of course not. How can I forget the wedding day?”

Lucy clings to me with a smile.

I got engaged to her shortly after her Lucy and her ‘work’.

Lucy has appealed to me that she likes me, and I also felt a lot of liking for her.

‘It would be best to have the wedding now.’

In that situation, the two of us confirmed our feelings for each other, and the word of marriage came out just in time.

I didn’t feel particularly bad about the marriage.

I also thought it would be great to have a bride like Lucy, so we set a date and got married.

Above all, if you don’t get married now, you will have to wait a long time.

I’m sure you’re going to be very busy in the future.

I don’t think I’m in a bit of a rush, but it doesn’t matter.

“Whoa… 3 Months now?”

Thinking back, I think I went through a lot of changes in the last 3 months.

It was no exaggeration to say that these were the most dynamic 3 months of my life.

However, what I’ve been through now may be new blood compared to what will happen in the future.

‘The Empire is about to fall…’

The prophecy received from the goddess, that the empire would perish, was only about a month away.

In the future, the empire will fall, and from now on, a lot of things will really pour out.

I can’t even guess what awaits me.

‘Whoa… Let’s do our best.’

But no matter what happens, you have to do your best.

Because it’s a body with a lot of things to protect even if you see it like this.

I had no intention of giving up or simply giving up.

I intend to do my best.

‘Why is the empire falling anyway?’

But at this point, I have a question.

I’ve heard the prophecy that the empire will perish, but I still can’t figure out why the empire perishes.

As much as the goddess prophesied, the future in which the empire perishes is a definite future, so why is the empire perishing?

‘Why is it really perishing?’

The answer to the reason was still unknown.

The battlefield in the west where the Demon King’s Army and the Imperial Army are fighting.

The skirmish between the forts, which were so important, lasted longer than expected.

An engagement between two armies that couldn’t back down even an inch. This engagement seemed endless, but no battle ever ended.

“Wow…!”

After a long engagement, the battle ended with the Imperial Army’s victory.

The Imperial Army cheered as they saw the demon army retreating after suffering enormous damage.

I couldn’t help but be happy because I won a victory that was so difficult.

“Long live the warrior…!”

And it was none other than the warrior who made the biggest contribution to winning such a victory.

She ran across the battlefield with her golden hair, pretty looks, and cold impression.

Hero Chloe, she was the sword of despair to the Demon King army and the light of hope to the Imperial army.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Imperial Army won because she was there.

“Whoa… That’s hard.”

Of course, the Demon King’s army has not yet been completely defeated, but peace has arrived, albeit for a while.

The hero, Chloe, disarms and sits in a chair.

She sat down looking exhausted, but on the other hand, she was smiling inwardly.

“I’m so excited about meeting Xerath.”

The reason she smiles is because she is finally able to meet her beloved childhood friend, Xerath.

Artemia, who was next to Chloe. She is a knight of the warrior party. She laughed at Chloe and said teasingly.

There was no one in the warrior party who didn’t know that Chloe liked Xerath. She used to say it playfully.

“hehehe… But, since I haven’t seen you in such a long time, it’s okay if I like you a little.”

And Chloe was quite fond of jokes like that.

She has been away from Xerath for nearly six months since she left the Empire.

It is the moment when she will be reunited with the person she loves, and she couldn’t help but be happy.

“Ehh… Then don’t do weird things to Xerath. Chloe. When you get back, don’t plant weird things on Xerath. We’re the only ones having a hard time.”

And Artemia let out a sigh as she looked at Chloe.

Chloe did a lot of strange things to Xerath.

Anyone can see that Xerath is a very excellent mage.

However, Chloe planted a strange gaslighting on Xerath.

Some say Xerath is an insignificant mage or something.

It was such a ridiculous prank that Xerath didn’t think of himself as great.

“Ehh… I feel so sorry every time I see Xerath. I know you like it, but it’s better to do it in moderation. I’m sure ARMYs think that way too?”

The other party members were also in trouble because of it.

Although Xerath was pitiful, he still couldn’t refuse the order of the hero, the leader of the party.

Also, Chloe was only joking around, and he didn’t say anything because he knew how much he liked Xeras, but he told me not to do such a thing this time.

It was also true that when I saw Lars, who kept being misunderstood, I felt sorry for him.

“Ah. Neither will I anymore.”

At Artemia’s advice, Chloe easily nodded.

She was just beginning to feel that pranks like that weren’t good enough for herself anymore.

To be honest, she felt that Chloe herself had been too harsh in her own way.

” Now that I’m planning on marrying Xerath. I should stop playing around with that. hehehe…”

I’m going to stop playing around with her now and truly fall in love with him.
