Chapter 311 – 88. The Remaining First Semester Is (2)
I was puzzled.
Pantheon’s temporary closure is over. So, in the afternoon, I came to Loia Hall, where the combat group had training.
Loia Pavilion has many statues and portraits in honor of her mother, who was a nun of Loia. Returning to the Pantheon, I wanted to visit the statue.
I have all my memories back. Mother, whenever I thought of Agnes, I would miss my mother very much.
‘Actually, I don’t even remember her mother’s arms…’
My mother left me, still a baby, at the Marquis Mansion, and she went to Guhwangdao for the final battle.
However, the divine power passed down through her mother’s rosary. I was able to soothe my longing a little through her warmth.
So, the moment I tried to make up my mind for the future in front of my mother’s statue. Suddenly, he saw three people gathered in front of him.
‘Fabian, Riff. And it’s Eric.’
I know that Fabian and Leaf have already become very close friends through a promiscuous party.
Also from Essenmund and Hans’ younger brother, Eric. He only lacked self-confidence, but he was a skilled swordsman, so there was nothing strange about hanging out with them.
And they noticed me At that moment, out of the blue, Fabian quickly approached me.
“That Fabian of the White Night Knights. Greetings to my lord.”
A sudden oath of allegiance. I was taken aback, but soon understood.
‘If it’s Fabian… What.’
He’s an absurd guy who always calls me change bag. He’s the one who seduces the nuns of the medical school and shares their sloppy sexual love even during the fierce battle of the magic battle.
The way of thinking of this Southern Gold Sun was very different from that of normal people.
“Fabian. Unbeknownst to me, when did you join the White Night Knights? And if so, then your lord is not me. Please tell Wilhelm.”
“Anyway, Margrave Julian… No, isn’t the Count the one who will become the owner of the White Nights!”
With that answer, there is nothing more to say. As expected, Leaf and Eric, who were close to normal people, were looking at me with a very absurd expression.
I told him
“That’s true. Anyway, Fabian, aren’t you the young aristocrat of the south? Sentiac would suit you better than White Night.”
“Absolutely not! I’m fed up with Southern girls… No. I’m the youngest in my family anyway, so I don’t have a chance to shine if I stay in the South. After all, to the Empire’s strongest Midnight Night Knights…”
“Anyway, your interest seems to be northern women rather than the Midnight Sun.”
“D-I heard you! As expected, the Count is amazing!”
It was like that too. In fact, the women of Essenmund were famous even in the Empire for their prettyness. Compared to the memories of the previous life and the Earth, the Essenmund people were similar to the Slavic race.
‘On Earth, Europeans also ignored the Slavs…’
Because Essenmund’s status was different in Ireland. Especially thanks to Atlin the Swordswoman and my mother Agnes. Women in Essenmund felt worshiped more than in other regions.
‘There is also a music play after the sword. Because my mother became more famous to the public because of the music drama.’
Atlin or Mother, of course. And like Uriel, who was my escort knight. The women of Essenmund are very stubborn and strong in character.
If it was a frivolous man like Fabian. To the point of cutting off his cock if he didn’t like it. Of course, that would not happen to me, the future owner of the North.
‘Uriel. I’m sure you’re doing well.’
After Eirin, my escort driver I had a relationship with. Thanks to her, she was able to awaken mana. After finding her memories, her appreciation for her increased.
‘Something I miss.’
But she’s actually only had about two months since she went back to the North. And Essenmund too. Her magical powers are boiling so much that she, her aura user, cannot even rest for a moment.
Anyway, I woke up Fabian. And while exchanging a few words, I naturally realized that these three were contemplating their next career path.
‘But. If the sophomores take a leave of absence like this. The cadets will also have to decide where to belong.’
If the situation in the empire wasn’t chaotic, everyone would think of the Imperial Guard as their number one priority. Unless the cadets are idiots, they know that the current guards are Grius’s puppets.
‘The Imperial Guard is in a mess right now.’
Anti-Greek faction. Knights and elite soldiers loyal to the Imperial family of Asterisk are rolling to death on the borders of the Imperial Capital adjacent to the Old Imperial City.
However, the knights of the Greek faction’s royal guard. The emperor is showing off its power somewhere and creating only notoriety.
It is common for them to extort money from merchants and harass women under the pretext of security. Even Riff, who is from the Middle East, spoke about it.
“I don’t want to join the current Royal Guard, to be honest. It would be more honorable as a subject of the Empire to fight against the Witchbeasts on the edge of the ecliptic… But in case the ship goes to the side of the Greus faction. You’ll have to clean up with those corrupt knights.”
So, Leaf seemed to be jealous of Eric.
‘Well, actually, Eric was thinking of writing a letter of recommendation as an apprentice to the Midnight Knights.’
When I was an idiot, I beat his older brother, and most of all, I personally confirmed that Eric’s skills were good during the midterm exam.
Of course, as Riff, who has better skills than Eric, I couldn’t help but feel jealous of Eric, who might end up joining the White Night Knights.
‘But Leaf can’t choose Sentiac.’
Rumors had already spread that the South would choose independence from the Empire, or rebellion. Leaf, who is from the central region, cannot choose that side.
A quandary in many ways. So Riff let out a sigh of regret.
“It may be difficult… But if I get a chance, I’d like to apply to become an apprentice knight of the Midnight Sun Knights…”
At those words, Fabian thumped Leaf’s back.
“Hoo. To say that in front of the Count. A sneaky request?”
“No, it’s not! And the one who was about to line up a moment ago was Fabian, so…”
“Hmm. I have always been loyal to the Count, so I deserve it. Isn’t it? Hey Fabian, a southerner, but as of today I have decided to make Essenmund my home!”
“Eh, Essenmundians aren’t frivolous like you!”
The three of them quarreled for a while. But I’m actually Fabian and Riff. Everyone had thoughts of accepting them under me.
‘They are all swordsmen with great potential.’
All three of them were cadets who showed great success in the match of horse battle.
If things went wrong, they flowed into the South. So, if you run into Duke Pedro’s eyes and become a demon. I didn’t know that there would be troublesome things to deal with like Leicester.
Rather, if they want to come to Essenmund. As for me, it’s actually something to welcome with open arms.
My memory came back Now, as the successor of the Marquis, I was thinking of him every moment. Talented people who will become the future of the North are always welcome.
‘And most of all, after a while, those three have to be active again.’
Sooner or later, there will be chaos in the Pantheon again. No, not to the Pantheon, but to the entire ecliptic. At that time, these three people are the resources to move under my direction once again.
“Well, but for now, we’ll talk about it after the final exams for the first semester. Shall we talk about complicated things over a drink sometime soon?”
“Good! Like the last time, promiscuous… No wholesome party…”
Those words made Fabian very excited.
After a short talk with the three of them, I moved to the parade ground with them.
***
It was evening.
Even after Pantheon’s lectures and training, he did not return to the mansion.
“This is a letter from Her Highness Lillia.”
Then I sat down on the sofa in the atelier and opened the letter Eirin gave me. Beautiful handwriting. It was the same as Lillia’s handwriting that I saw right after I lost my memory.
I read all of it right away. Lilia was much busier than I was after the match.
Although she was a busy woman from the beginning. It was because the situation in the imperial capital was very complicated.
I briefly summarized the contents of the letter to Eirin.
‘Greus detained the emperor.’
Externally, the emperor, who felt uncomfortable with his body, announced that he was recovering for a while to stabilize himself. Grius was out of his mind right now.
Chaos in the empire. And an assassination attempt aimed at himself. Since then, I have been feeling a fear bordering on delusion.
George, my false identity, of course. And it was the result of properly using Carmen, a close aide of Grius.
“Until now, things have turned out just as Bocchan-nim thought. Then all the anti-Greeks…”
“Right. They will gather around Lilia.”
Grius not only had the emperor in custody, but the fear caused him to prepare himself to become emperor.
The Emperor of the Empire is special. The three high families who created the kingdom of Ramir, Asterisk, Reinhardt, and Orhain.
Among them, the Asterik family, which is said to have inherited the lineage of warriors, raised the Ramir Kingdom to the current holy Ramir Empire.
That divinity is, of course, the descendant of the hero and the one who rose to the pinnacle of the empire. Word for emperor. And the emperor has been praised by the people of the empire as an apostle of Jedin, the main god.
‘Of course, that’s a very distant story.’
The belief that the Emperor himself is sacred has been greatly diluted since the Great War, or even the appearance of the Chaotic Gate before it.
However, the current Grius fervently believed in that legend.
Although he himself is not at all a figure of the royal family of Ashterik. He had a delusion that he would become an apostle of Jedin by ascending to the emperor himself.
He was already a man with enough ambition. I, who disguised my identity, further fueled the delusion. Sooner or later, Grius will declare a new family of Grius in place of the Asterisk family. It wasn’t long.
“And the corrupt priest’s rebellion will further solidify the justification for Lillia to ascend the throne.”
Grius is already in my grasp. All of his rebellion plans came to me. A rebellion to rise in the ecliptic Teria through the ecliptic guards who became his private soldiers.
And suppress the rebellion in the name of Lilia. And since the current emperor was detained by Grius, he has already become half-dead.
Lilia, the daughter of the former emperor. And if it’s Lilia who subdues her rebellion, then she has all the qualifications to become the next emperor.
The Emperor’s children are four in total. 1 Princess is currently the Duchess of the House of Orha. And the first prince is the current emperor. She is the 2nd princess, and she is dedicated to her artistic activities as a celibate priestess of Hessos, a religious order of art.
The current emperor has no children. It was practically a fight between the 1st princess and the 3rd princess, Lilia. Of course, it was Lilia who inherited the blood of the Asterisk family the strongest.
And I told Lilia in advance of the rebellion that Grius would cause.
That’s why they’re recruiting the princes of the central region near the ecliptic and the commanders of the anti-Greusian guards. Lilia has no choice but to be busy.
“Actually, Duke Pedro intended to occupy the empire regardless of the justification. No matter what, there will be a big war in the empire.”
Erin’s expression darkened. She, too, has lost her country because of her war. I nodded.
“But even such a war would be insignificant compared to the promised doom. So there is only one thing I have to do.”
Stopping Duke Pedro. A character his mother also prophesied as the one holding the key to ruin. And I am the only one in the Empire who can stand against him.
‘Her mother was able to use such amazing divine power on me…’
It was because Agnes was a great saint who would go down in history. In fact, with just that, I wouldn’t have been able to foresee the future on such a large scale that I mistook it for possessiveness.
[You are right. Julian.]
And Jedin’s holy sword, Erti. She agreed with me.
No less than my mother, no more than my mother, that I am a human being chosen by God.
‘My mother’s wisdom was also a knowledge about me being blessed by God. A miracle like that would have been possible.’
Humans, a race blessed by Jedin. And I am a mixed race of demons, a race blessed by Unir.
Perhaps, a power from another world that shouldn’t exist in this world. Whoever can stand against the power of chaos, the voice. Because I will be the only one who can receive the blessings of both gods at the same time.
Emperor’s husband. And as the Demon King representing the Demon Kingdom.
Above all, if you put the Demon Kingdom under me. You will be able to directly check the southern part of the border with the Demon Kingdom.
‘But I haven’t proven my qualifications to become the Demon King yet.’
I checked Remegeton. Three familiar grand dukes. Beneath it were written undesirable letters.
—————–
「Contractor of the Demon Grand Duke – The Devil’s Book Remegeton」
* Displays the name of the demon prince currently under contract.
## List
* Ruiril, Grand Duchess of Lust
* The Grand Duchess of Jealousy Bydy
* Gourmet grand duke Illaz
..
..
「Contract impossible」
* The princes below have chosen different contractors.
: Anger / arrogance
* The Princes below have chosen to be neutral in their contracts.
: Stinginess / sloth
—————–
‘The contract is impossible.’
The path to becoming the Demon King is no longer easy. The source that gave him the nickname of his father, Lucifer’s cold-blooded demon lord. Prince of Wrath.
He chose another contractor. The Grand Duke of Pride also joined him. The other two were neutral. At least for the present me, it meant that I had not been chosen by all grand dukes.
‘Although I already know the reason.’
I’m a half-blood human, not a pure-blood demon. And even among humans, she has the lineage of a great saint who has been blessed by Jedin.
It is possible to prove that Jedin and Yunir can be together with my existence. Not all grand dukes liked Jedin and the six gods under him.
Especially the Grand Duke of Wrath. For he does not choose as a contractor those whom he does not have the strength to be satisfied with.
‘It must be that I am dissatisfied. In many ways.’
But I wasn’t in a hurry. This quest right in front of you will open the way for you to become the Demon Lord.
I checked the final main quest once again.
