My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

42 – The Princess’ Despair (1)

Honestly, Chloe thought the whole situation was just a nightmare.

“Yes. This must be a dream. There’s no way it’s not a dream, right?”

Perhaps it was the situation in which he collapsed while fighting the demon king’s army?

And now he is in a situation where he can’t wake up from unconsciousness, and this situation right now will be just an illusion.

Perhaps, when he wakes up, he will be able to see the faces of his comrades waiting for him.

Maybe Xerath is worried about himself.

“Wait. I’ll get up soon.”

With that thought, Chloe ran around for a while.

Originally, a dream is a way to wake up quickly if you do something stimulating in a dream.

I just kept running around all day. Until he runs out of stamina.

“…”

However, it did not wake up.

He didn’t wake up from the dream even though he ran until he was out of breath and his legs hurt.

Do I have to run more to wake up from this horrible nightmare?

Chloe had that idea for a while, but she soon gave up.

“No. It’s not a dream.”

No matter how hard he tried to deny it, he couldn’t deny it any longer.

That this situation is not a nightmare, but just a nightmare-like reality.

So you won’t be able to wake up, and you won’t be able to make things right any longer.

“It’s ruined. It’s completely ruined.”

She was in a situation where another woman had taken away the Zerath she loved and worked so hard on.

Maybe Lucy? Rumor has it that she is the queen of the kingdom of Al Prada.

She is such a woman, and while she was away, she intercepted Xerath.

What on earth should you do in a situation like this?

From Chloe’s point of view, who finally decided to go out with Xeras, what on earth should she do?

What should she do herself from now on?

She couldn’t find an answer.

Now, only a very dark future remained for her.

At that fact, Chloe despaired.

“… The princess.”

And after that, her despair had no choice but to turn into her hatred.

Thinking about it, isn’t it all because of the princess?

In the first place, Chloe’s own plan was perfect. Leaving Xeras in the Empire, she herself went on a short business trip, and the plan really had no flaws.

Although Xerath was not the kind of person the nobles of her empire looked upon favorably, no one would have dared to banish her warrior party’s mage over her, her champion.

“It’s all because of her.”

But the princess did it.

While the hero was absent, the princess expelled Xerath, the wizard of the hero party.

That incident was the beginning, and the snowball flowed to reach the present situation.

“If only she hadn’t banished Xerath.”

So this is all because of the princess.

She herself defended her empire as her own warrior, but her princess ruined her own love and ruined her own life.

“I’m going to tear you up. I’m going to kill you!!!”

So I could never forgive him.

Now that Xerath has been taken away from her, she has not yet decided what to do with Xerath, but she is certain of what she must do now.

To find her princess who will ruin her own life, and to avenge her blood.

That was exactly what she had to do.

“Let’s see… Letia.”

With that thought in mind, Chloe headed back to the Empire.

My childhood friend, the warrior, was really pissed off.

@ @ @

The Visual Empire.

The princess said that she was only for a moment, but she couldn’t help but worry too much.

The demon army that suddenly invaded the empire, and it was quite unusual for them to attack, but above all, I had no choice but to worry because the hero Chloe had suddenly left somewhere.

However, the worry did not last long.

Because there was a court mage Balt in the empire.

If that’s the case, I’m sure you’ll be able to reliably stop the demon lord’s army.

The princess had no doubts about Balt.

“Well, Balt will take care of it. He must be a much more capable mage than Xerath.”

The princess smiled as she passed the time peacefully enjoying her tea time.

The court mage Balt, he must be superior to Xeras, the mage of the warrior party.

There was no way Balt couldn’t do what Xerath could do at the time Xerath had defended the empire from the Four Heavenly Kings the other day.

On the contrary, it can be prevented in a way that is much more stable and harmless to the Empire.

Because he was not a commoner, but a wizard from an outstanding aristocratic family.

This kind of evaluation was not only given by the princess.

Numerous nobles of the empire were also giving such evaluations, and above all, the hero of the warrior party, Chloe, was giving such evaluations as well.

So the method the princess chose must be the right choice.

“If you block well, what reward will you give?”

After some time, Balt will post a victory report, and the princess intended to give him a huge prize.

As well as being a wizard in the warriors party, he will be given a suitable command so that he can exert considerable influence in the Mage Tower.

Of course, it would be quite excessive to give such an award to the extent of stopping the Demon King’s army, but in fact, the princess had a separate purpose for doing this.

“In spite of giving the prize, I have to deprive the common people of their chance.”

Actually, the princess was thinking of preventing commoners from becoming magicians at this point.

I was thinking of slowly eliminating the chances of the commoners by putting Balt, an excellent noble mage, at the forefront.

Now, even commoners could enter the academy or go on to the Mage Tower if they had the ability.

That’s probably why commoners are active not only in magic, but also in various places, regardless of social status.

However, the princess didn’t like that very much.

“Your Majesty gave opportunities to commoners, but I’m different.”

In the first place, the study of magic was not the study of noble aristocrats, nor was it a study that would dare to be learned by commoners.

Her father, the Emperor, who is now recuperating, used to formulate a policy in the direction of giving such opportunities because the path of possibility should be open, but she does not intend to do that.

Because the commoners are beings that climb up the ladder the more you treat them, as if they know what they’re talking about.

“I will never trust commoners again.”

She hated commoners.

After Letia risked being assassinated by her maid whom she cared about in the past, she couldn’t help but hate her thoroughly.

Her commoner girl who became her exclusive maid, Letia did not discriminate against her and was good to her.

She felt like a friend, and she used to talk without hesitation, whether it was commoners or royalty.

It was a precious existence without anyone to open up to.

But she was a traitor. She used to be her thorough masked assassin to assassinate her.

Because of that, Letia really almost died. She is no one else, but she is the one she believed in.

Afterwards, when she asked her why she did these things, the answer was really dumbfounded.

It was only because of the money.

It wasn’t even a lot of money. She had intended to kill her princess for just a few pennies.

The princess couldn’t help but be shocked by that fact.

She said that her own relationship, which had been good to her until now, was only a few pennies of her money?

Did this commoner girl value her few bucks more than the life of her princess?

“They are a race without honor or pride.”

After that, the princess properly knew the true nature of the commoners.

The more you think about commoners, the more disgusting they are.

Insignificant beings who can kill anyone without hesitation if given a few pennies.

Disgusting beings who value pride, honor, trust, and even friendship.

The commoners really hated the princess.

I couldn’t help but hate it.

“I need to proceed step by step.”

So, unlike her mother-in-law’s father, she thought that the princess would never give a chance to commoners.

Her own father, the Emperor, will also change her fate soon after.

She already holds most of her power, but if her emperor dies, all her power will be concentrated in her even more.

When that happens, she will have no one to stop Letia. She intends to create a world of her own thoroughly.

A world centered on the imperial family and nobility, a country that values honor and pride.

And it all starts with an excellent noble mage named Balt.

Letia drank some black tea and thought about the future of the empire.

“Princess. I’ve been contacted. It’s a report about the battle.”

“Recite it.”

Meanwhile, one of her soldiers came to her.

The man nodded and bowed to the princess, then he opened her paper and began to report her to the princess.

‘It ended sooner than expected.’

What the princess thought, she didn’t think it was a big deal.

It must be an article about Balt successfully defeating the demon lord’s army.

It was almost obvious without looking at it.

She thought so.

“Now, Lord Balt is said to have died.”

“Yes?”

But… What does this mean now?

“Besides, the situation on the battlefield is not good right now, Princess.”

“Yes… Yes…?”

Walt, an excellent noble mage, died?

The princess was properly embarrassed.
