Divinity Academy’s Crazy Demon Lord’s Son 410

Chapter 410 – 117. Toward Essenmund (2)

I turned my head and identified the person behind the voice.

‘It’s Lucia.’

I sneakily checked her expression. Unlike other prospective wives. Lucia did not perform well in the 6 underground temples.

No, actually, as Unir’s incarnation, Unir’s star. She played a very important role.

For now, I have handed over all of my magic, and Unir’s will lies dormant in Lucia. When I end the contract with all demon princes, Unir will regain his godhood.

‘To deal with Knoia. The two gods must be resurrected.’

So Lucia, who once became an incarnation of a goddess. Her mood was strangely different from before.

Her personality is the same though with her few words.

The strange atmosphere Unir exuded. Lucia was also somewhat similar now.

She’s 22 years old. She felt strangely more mature. She inadvertently remembered the intense sexual love she shared with Yunir.

Lucia sneaked out of the carriage and sat close to her.

Lucia, who briefly met her gaze, turned her head shyly.

But her awkward mood quickly dissipated. The other party in the carriage opened their mouths.

“Is Lucia unnie new to Essenmund? It’s my first time too, so I’m really looking forward to it!”

A soft voice came. Lucia answered Cecilia’s words.

“Yeah. I’m new. Cecil.”
“Brother’s hometown… Just that alone makes my heart race…! Oh, of course I’m not going to play, but…”

At Cecilia’s words, Tricia, who was sitting next to her, smiled.

“Even if it’s not a place to go play, it’s a place to live in the future. Wouldn’t it be all right if I expected more?”

At her words, I nodded.

“I can’t say right away that these two are demons. I will tell the head of the family, so there will be no inconvenience in staying in Essenmund.”

At those words, Cecilia smiled wide.

They were two sisters who had a close relationship with me.
.
Cecilia is a craftsman who is very skilled in her skills.

And her older sister, Tricia, is an important talent who can make real-time contact with Remiella, a High Knight and aristocrat of the Demon Kingdom.

So, both of them decided to leave the ecliptic and go to Essenmund with me.

Cecilia is my companion by blood. She and Trish had already spent the night together.

As a demon dragon, I have a strong desire to possess as well as a desire to conquer. So, of course, there was no way to leave those two people in the ecliptic.

‘Because they’re all my girls.’

So the idea was to allow Lucia, as well as her sisters, to settle in Essenmund.

‘Especially Lucia wants her to join the White Night Knights.’

So, the people who rode together in the carriage were no different from living as Essenmundians from now on.

Ei-Lin, who was sitting across from her, smiled at her companions as they chatted.

‘Ei-Lin, she’s on good terms with the people here.’

It may be an expressionless face to other people. Knowing her Ei-Lin well, I noticed that the corners of her mouth were raised.

‘It’s fortunate.’

If only Liliana or Chloe had been in the carriage.

For the last few days, peace between prospective wives. Maybe I should have worked hard at night.

Fortunately, we are on good terms with each other now. There was no need to forcefully extract the white turbidity every night.

Ei-Lin followed her.

“Essenmund is not a fancy place like the ecliptic, but it has a different charm from the ecliptic. And when the season is summer like now, it’s an even better place to stay.”

Like she said In the north, Essenmund was not too hot even in summer.

However, Eirin left out one word.

‘Instead of that, it’s deadly cold in the winter.’

A place that is barren due to extreme cold. Although it developed rapidly when I reached my maternal grandfather’s generation.

Prior to that, Essenmund was famous for its rough terrain even in the Empire.

‘Well, I’ve been living comfortably in the Margrave’s Mansion ever since I was little.’

Anyway, everyone is Essenmund. It is also the capital of Essenmund, where the Margrave’s Mansion is located. It was a sight that I was quite looking forward to Reinheim.

More than anything else, Eirin, who had been with me for a long time, had a comfortable expression.

Although Eirin is not from Essenmund, but from the Western Kingdoms Union. To her, her Essenmund was nothing short of home to her.

It’s a personality that’s far from extravagance. It might be that he liked the rugged Essenmund more than the extravagant Ecliptic.

‘No, that must be because Lilia has grown distant from me.’

She is Eirin, who considers Lilia her rival.

Moreover, in the 6 temples, Lilia was very active. Eirin, who had relatively little success, must have been more concerned about Lilia.

But Lilia is now the Emperor of the Empire.

Although Lilia didn’t want to be separated from me even for a second. As long as she wasn’t the Scarecrow Emperor, she had a lot of work to do.

And as she is the emperor, she can rather lead the war unit’s work that I can’t do.

So I go back to her Essenmund, also to connect well with her. It was important for the future of Ireland.

‘I’ll have a ceremony with Lilia after everything is over anyway.’

And the remaining two. Chloe and Rosette stayed in the ecliptic for a while because of my instructions.

Demon Archduke. And with the red dragon Ustina, I had to head to the Demon Kingdom soon.

But to head to the Demon Kingdom without using the portal. Not only time, but also geographical constraints were quite severe at this time.

‘There is a way to become a dragon and fly, but…’

Still thinking about the future. It was better to somehow restore the portal, a legacy of the Old Empire era.

If only those two were excellent wizards and alchemists. You should be able to figure out how to restore and activate the many remaining portals in the empire.

I entrusted the task to them both. They are two talented people. It won’t take long.

While I was thinking like that. The carriage stopped.

“Young master! We have arrived at the castle!”

***

The carriage was waiting for inspection.

The place where the party arrived is a not very famous city called Yutra. Now it belonged to Essenmund, but it was bordered by the Western Kingdom Union, so the northern atmosphere was less.

To head to the destination, Reinheim, going through the western city like now would be like taking a detour quite a bit.

There was a territory that he had to stop by on the way, so he couldn’t help it.

‘Harsen. I had to visit my estate.’

Countess of Harsen. The reason I am called Count Julian is because I received the Harsen county, which belongs to Essenmund, as my domain.

My maternal grandfather is a great aristocrat called the Grand Duke. So, as the only heir to the Grand Duke, I inherited the territory before ascending the throne as Marquis.

But anyway, I’m the one who will inherit all the lands of Essenmund. In reality, Harsen was only a nominal fiefdom to me.

Heir to the most honorable nobleman in the empire. In this way, he received the title of count in advance and set himself apart from other noble heirs.

‘That’s why I’ve always been called Count in the Pantheon.’

In any case, because of those circumstances, as the lord of Harsen, I did very little other than stamp some papers.

Now, in Harsen, one of the viscounts who is a servant of the maternal grandfather is acting as the lord of that place.

Still, as much as I am the lord of that place. There was an obligation to visit at least once to examine the public sentiment of the place.

‘Of course, I’m not going there for that job.’

There was a more important reason than that.

Demon King. So, preliminary information about the future that I mistook for a game. There was an important battle related to Harsen in the future foresight my mother had left me.

‘When Harsen is captured. Essenmund is in danger.’

Harsen, like Utra, is relatively close to the kingdom union.

United Kingdoms of the West. It is recognized as autonomous, but nominally belongs to the Empire.

But now, the Kingdom Alliance has actually already been absorbed into Duke Pedro’s sphere of influence.

In the first place, the Kingdom Alliance hired numerous mercenaries to wage war among themselves. The mercenary group involved the most in the numerous civil wars was the Byrea mercenary group.

The Byrea Mercenary Corps was actually owned by Duke Pedro.

Duke Pedro has declared southern independence, no rebellion. Through the Byrea Mercenary Corps, he even seized control of the Kingdom Alliance.

‘That’s why it became a direct threat to Essenmund.’

Although southern Caceres and northern Essenmund are geographically completely separated.

The confederation of the kingdoms of the west borders Essenmund.

In Demon King’s Slaughter, Duke Pedro used the kingdom’s union to cause great confusion in Essenmund. The battle that becomes the starting point is the Battle of Harsen.

Before the battle happened. I was thinking of joining Harsen in a hurry and minimizing the damage of the battle.

A very difficult episode in Demon King’s Slaughter. So, even with her mother’s foreknowledge, Harsen was a city that would inevitably fall.

‘But I will never let him do that.’

Harsen is a city I rule as a lord. As a demon dragon, I had no intention of letting anyone pollute my territory.

Than the future her mother foresaw. Because I am much stronger now. I had enough confidence.

‘To raise the sense of swordsmanship again. There must be nothing like the actual combat experience in that battle.’

And, through recent contact, Yuriel, who served as my escort driver. She heard that she was assigned to Harsen’s commanding officer.

In many ways, there were enough reasons to visit Harsen.

It was then.

Hans, the coachman, carefully knocked on the window of the carriage seat.

“Young master. Things got complicated.”

***

I listened to Hans and rolled down the window.

The current wagon was not the exclusive wagon he always rode in the ecliptic.

Right now, the entire empire was like an exhibition.

I don’t know if it was during the Mannani era. Now it’s a situation where I’m taking a lot of parties like this. There was absolutely no reason to draw anyone’s attention.

So it was a much more rugged wagon than before, and there was no separate window connected to the coachman’s seat inside. That’s why Hans came directly from the coachman’s seat like this.

I told him

“What is it, Hans?”
“Recently, there have been frequent attacks by Mahons disguised as humans in this place in Yutra. I guess that’s why the inspection has become very strict.”

According to Hans, outsiders whose identity is unknown are not allowed into the castle.

Just in time, there were two non-human demons in the party.

‘Well, actually, that’s not a problem.’

When admitting Cecilia to the Pantheon. By my authority, I made her sister her identity as her Essenmund.

Of course, I, Eirin, and Hans had Essenmund’s identification cards. The only problem was Lucia.

‘Lucia is a Southerner.’

In the first place, Lucia was from a southern aristocracy. Like her sisters, she did not have to create a new identity.

According to Hans, Southerners were never allowed in now.

In the first place, the Essenmund people and the people of southern Caceres have a bad relationship. Duke Pedro rebelled there.

For a southerner to enter and leave the territory like this is to say openly that I am a spy.

Hans explained the situation.

‘I already knew it would be investigated like this.’

Of course, that didn’t matter to me at all.

The name on my ID. And if I see the Reinhard family seal, the lord of this place will come to meet me in person.

However, such a loud welcome meant nothing to me.

In this city, I intended to stay quietly at an inn instead of at the permanent residence. Rather, it was better to know the realistic situation of Essenmund.

‘I don’t even want to introduce my companions.’

So, if possible, I wanted to pass this checkpoint quietly. Hans knew the situation, so he must have asked me what to do.

“As you know, Bocchan, even a small bribe doesn’t work for the guards in Essenmund these days. A little troublesome…”
“I know that. It was the family head’s iron rule.”

Although it is closer to the West. Still, Essenmund is Essenmund. My maternal grandfather was always strict with the law. Even in such a suburban city, the atmosphere was the same.

But I already had a way in mind.

“Well, no problem. Hans. Let’s wait like this and get checked.”
“But, Bocchan. Lucia-sama’s ID might be a problem.”
“You don’t have to worry. I’ll figure it out on my own.”
“All right! Young master.”

After saying that, Hans quickly returned to the coachman’s seat without throwing up the slightest bit. He was always like a loyal Hans.

As soon as he stepped back, the guards with very ferocious eyes opened the carriage door.

“I will check inside the carriage. And your identity! Everyone, show your ID!”

The guards’ eyes were very fierce.

‘Even though they are the guards of one province. They are all well trained.’

I also thought that the Essenmundians were different.

If your eyes are like this. It seemed that even if I were the heir to the Grand Duke, I would definitely investigate according to principle. But I wasn’t worried.

“Wait. Guardsman. Is it really necessary?”

And I looked at them and said

Soon the guards shouted at me as if they had seen a madman.
