Became the Younger Sister of the Villainous Young Lady 95

Chapter 95 – The Heir – The Aftermath

Richard’s startled eyes came out and turned to Iris. No. Not only Richard, but almost everyone was shocked and agitated.
Only Arnold, whom I had talked to beforehand, was not surprised and just nodded his head.

“… Is that really your wish?”

The emperor’s eyes stared at Iris.
Iris proudly raised her head. The old man’s deeply sunken eyes turned to me. What are you talking about?

“She said she wasn’t the right person for an emperor.”
“… Mmm. In my eyes, it looks like it will cross the wall sooner or later.”

The war broke out once again.
It was as if she was surprised at the fact that she was already on the verge of crossing her own wall at her age, and also seemed surprised that she had declared that she would not inherit her throne. .

“Apart from it, and. They say he doesn’t have the confidence to become a great emperor who can attract people’s support.”
“Hmm.”

At the additional explanation I added, the emperor glanced at Richard.
Certainly, in that respect, Richard was superior. It wasn’t that Iris was ugly, but that Richard was great.

It’s probably because Iris is a hero.

It was because Iris, who was favored by her goddess, had a subtle, sacred and dignified aura flowing through her body.

Unless it’s me or her emperor, Arnold, or her and her siblings who have seen her since childhood, her mysterious and lofty aura of her iris keeps her from approaching others.

On the other hand, Richard is a member of the royal family, but since he was a child, he has been training with the knights of the Order, and he is also steady and sincere.

In addition, his keen sense of humor, which can be said to be his talent, is what makes others feel like him innately.

‘That person somehow knows me well. Lead the atmosphere well so that I am not uncomfortable.’

By eliciting that kind of awareness, people around you naturally like you.

In that sense, it’s not wrong to say that Richard is the easiest to attract support, but…

“However, don’t you know that being the emperor of an empire is not a position that can be maintained simply by supporting you?”

Yes.

Beyond the simple support of the people, even the support of the nobility. Even if he gathered the support of all people on the continent, the position of emperor of the empire was not a position maintained only by their support.

Receive the favor of the goddess, inherit the qualities of a master through bloodline, and maintain the balance of the continent.

Since the unification of the continent, the empire had to consider the strategic position it had maintained for unification and governance of their continent.

Of course.

Both Iris and I have been thinking about that part.

Last night.

“I intend to yield the right of succession to Richard’s brother.”

Iris, held in my arms, whispered to me. I wondered what that meant, but she wondered if she had any thoughts, and she swept her back as if to say something.
‘Yeah.’ Iris let out a shallow breath, weakly gripping my collar and opening her mouth.

“I don’t have the confidence to rule the empire well. I am a warrior, and I have a mission to defeat the Demon King.”
“Can’t you rule the empire until you defeat the demon king?”
“Yes. It’s going to be a very busy day. I don’t know if her father will correct it…”

Iris blurted out her words. As he said, the emperor’s lifespan was not long.

“Besides, defeating the demon lord must be very hard work.”

I guess so. I nodded. Her word was the Demon King, but she was a deity equal to the goddess. For this young girl, the mission was too heavy for her.

“… But it’s my mission. I can’t give up. I will definitely defeat the Demon King. But…”

Ah.
I noticed what she was trying to say. Iris was very embarrassed to say such a thing, and looked at me as if it was a sin.

“After defeating the Demon King, you’re saying you want to rest.”
“… Yes.”

It was.
It’s about saving the world. After saving her world as her lifelong dream and her mission, will she have the will to rule her empire?

If she had a natural desire for power and honor, she was Iris, who was born as an imperial princess and would have enjoyed a lot of power.

“Rather than enjoying the life of the luxurious imperial palace and ruling the empire, I would rather live alone with the one I love in a quiet place.”

Become a warrior To think that the princess of the Empire would like to take a rest by abandoning her duties like this…

With her sullen face, she pinched Iris’s cheek as she looked up with her tearful expression as if she was disappointed in me.

“Aww!”

He really let her pat her in pain, stroking her gently on the cheek.

“Okay. Let’s rest together.”
“… Come, together?”
“Okay. He said he wanted to rest with someone he loved.”

Iris bowed her head in embarrassment. Well, after killing Baal, I also intended to live a quiet life with my people.

But.

“What about the favor of the goddess?”

The favor of a goddess who passes down the qualities of an Aura Master from generation to generation, and leads them all to overcome the wall and become Masters at different times.

Because it was an oath between the imperial family and the goddess, the emperor had to become a master.

So, if Richard, who is not the Master, becomes the emperor, that oath will be broken.

Iris smiled hihi.

“I asked the Goddess everything. Now, because of the demon king, she has used up most of her power, so she only had a blessing to bestow on me, the fate of a hero.”
“I see.”
“So, after defeating the Demon King, I’m going to ask Richard’s brother to give him his favor.”

Hmm.
Okay?

After hearing the story, the thought I heard was that if there had been no demon king, if the power of the goddess had not been lacking, Edwin would have gone through the normal procedures and become a master and become emperor without blaming his lacking talent.

I thought about it so deeply.

After all, there was an example of Richard, so I didn’t have a very good idea for Edwin in a world where the demon king didn’t exist.

If you think of the present world where Richard, who is so talented that it would be disastrous to even be called a genius because he is equally incompetent, has awakened his Aura, after all, Richard is a hundred times better than Edwin.

“Why only Richard?”
“Uh… The other sisters and brothers aren’t particularly interested in holding a sword anyway.”
“Did the goddess allow it?”
“Sure.”

Then what
It will be fine.

The goddess said it was guaranteed. Who’s to say

The conversation I had with Iris the night before was summarized and told to the emperor and Richard, omitting the same content because Iris had no future dreams or the emperor’s position, and the two’s expressions changed to something worth seeing.

Among the two whose expressions changed every moment, the emperor spoke first.

“It’s an unexpected solution.”

It was a subtle sigh.

“Richard is almost fifty now. If you kill the Demon King, wouldn’t this guy jump over the wall right away?”

Probably so. After all, the favor of a goddess is to bestow the qualities of a master, and to guide the way so that those qualities can be manifested.

If it takes 10 years to kill the demon king, then Richard, who has already reached the age of 60, will have to train to become a master from then on.

Richard also made a suspicious face after hearing the emperor’s words.

Receiving the gaze of the two, Iris smiled and replied.

“I will do it in 5 years.”
“Her.”

5 years.

The emperor murmured softly. ‘I will kill the monster beyond the dimension within 5 years that would have stayed there for thousands of years.’ The expression on the old man’s face when he said that seemed quite long, so I decided to add a word.

“For a moment. Five years.”
“Hmm?”

Is it too much? It was the emperor watching me take a step forward. Richard also said, ‘No matter how, 5 years is too fast…’ .

“Three years is enough.”
“…”

Crazy guy

The Emperor beckoned us to leave. The way he looked at Iris was the way he looked at her youngest daughter, who had been tainted by her weirdo.

Hmm.

Isn’t that wrong?

*

We went straight to the imperial palace. Because I had to take care of the ‘Eye of the Sun’. The emperor said that if he wanted something, he could take one more, so I took the elixir.

No matter how precious the elixir was, the amount of the elixir was quite large as it was the remarks of the unified empire. It wouldn’t matter if you brought a bottle or two.

In addition, the secret treasure ‘Seven Wings of Mercy’ sent by the Holy Kingdom to symbolize friendship with the Empire.

If this is enough, how can I solve the curse that clings to my aching leg?

I would have liked to go see Richard’s crown prince coronation ceremony, but I didn’t have enough time, so I decided to leave tomorrow morning with Iris.

“Let’s stop by Taylor’s estate.”
“Yes? Yes. Why are you there?”

It didn’t matter because I was on the way anyway. Still, Iris answered with a smile.

“Pick up the party members.”
