Divinity Academy’s Crazy Demon Lord’s Son 362

Chapter 362 – 104. After Grius’ Rebellion (1)

Grius’s rebellion is suppressed.

The magic power that dominated the imperial palace disappeared right after I dealt with both Chris and Grius.

Although the demons and witches still remained in the imperial palace. When the pseudo-gate Chris created with Grius’s body disappeared, their power rapidly weakened.

After that, the odds clearly passed to the party.

High nights. Then, joining Lucia and Rosette, the party took control of not only the Central War, but also the Baekhwagung.

Above all, Izeltier, who turned into an ally, played a big role. Although he belonged to the Byrea Mercenary Corps, which belonged to the rebels.

Because of that credit, the charge of participating in the rebellion went silently. More than anything, Izeltier was now a mercenary hired by me.

“It is said that the first imperial meeting since the rebellion will be held in the Great Hall of the Central Church in two days. A letter has arrived from the imperial palace requesting that the young master also participate.”

And now, I have returned to the imperial mansion. A week has passed since the central warfare was finished.

Although not even a month has passed since martial law. In the meantime, I had a lot of work, so it felt like half a year had passed.

I answered Eirin’s words.

“The meeting will have a treatise on the resistance. Definitely have to participate Give me the answer that you will participate.”

Ei-Lin nodded her head. She left my room for a while to deliver my answer to the Imperial Palace, the Great Temple of the Central Church, which is currently being used as a temporary imperial palace.

‘It’s a non-deed.’

Wait, I recalled what happened a week ago. Right after the battle in the Central War was over. The party, who had already won, quickly informed the resistance to the news.

Killing the leader of the rebels, Grius. And the recapture of the imperial palace. The news spread to the battlefields outside the ecliptic, and the tide of battle turned sharply to one side.

The leader, Grius, is dead. The rebels lost their focal point. The Byrea Mercenary Corps, whose purpose was to cause chaos in the imperial capital anyway, left immediately.

And the Greek Guard immediately surrendered to the resistance. There is no one left who can save their lives by forceful resistance. It was a natural choice.

So the rebellion was suppressed.

The resistance army entered the ecliptic as it was. Although it was still only a week since the rebellion was suppressed, the imperial capital was in a mess.

Still, compared to the atmosphere of the imperial capital immediately after martial law. The emperor’s subjects seemed to breathe a sigh of relief that the rebellion was now over.

‘Well, considering the chaos to come, it’s just the beginning.’

In fact, the current rebels were ragtag. The purpose of Chris, who manipulated the rebels from behind, was because he just wanted chaos in this place rather than taking control of the ecliptic.

The real chaos that will begin now is Duke Pedro’s Confederate Army, which has already completed its independence in the southern part of the Empire. And the Kiatic Gate, which began to rapidly activate.

‘And the existence of chaos beyond that, Knoia.’

Even Louisil was afraid of Knoia’s existence. If it’s an existence that even the apostles of God fear.

At least, it means that Knoia is no different from a being with a deity.

‘That must also be an evil god who hates humans very much.’

And if you believe the prophecy of my mother, Great Saint Agnes. I am the one who has the only destiny to stand against Knoia.

Perhaps, a normal human being, he would have despaired under the weight of that dreadfully heavy fate.

Even Atlin the Swordsman, one of the strongest in the history of Island. It was because he was frustrated in front of the fallen angel Greiel, who was an apostle of Knoia.

Even my enemy is Knoia, who surpasses even that Greiel.

The fear that the existence of that confusion gives. It was so huge that it nullified even the blessing of mental stability given by his mother’s rosary.

However, I wasn’t afraid even when I thought of Knoia.

‘Maybe it’s because of his awakening as a demonic dragon.’

Rather, the friendly feeling towards Knoia made my blood boil. It was because I thought that I would compete with him to see who would rule this land.

Demon dragons are probably such beings.

‘And right now is the time to think about what’s ahead.’

I checked the notification window of the system that appeared before my eyes.

Like the system’s notification window. There is one last thing left to finish at the Pantheon.

Final main quest. Through that quest, he had to acquire something called Unir’s Star.

Unir is now a missing goddess of darkness and another main deity equal to Jedin.

If you know the forgotten secret about that god. I may get another weapon in my hands to fight Knoia.

‘Siertia, Jedin’s holy relic, is in my hands. Unir’s star is definitely not an ordinary thing.’

And I clicked on the sub quest 2 text in the notification window. That text, the truth of Pantheon Academy. I read the description more closely.

***

Two days passed.

Still in the ecliptic of Teria, my status is a student of the Pantheon. And the first semester of Pantheon is not over yet.

It wouldn’t be easy for the academy to operate normally amid the chaos that covered the empire. The Pantheon is an educational facility and at the same time a military academy that nurtures the talents of the main knights of the empire.

So unlike other educational academies, Pantheon is more busy with exhibitions.

Now that the rebellion has been suppressed and the turmoil has subsided a bit.

The Pantheon was scheduled to reopen next week after the temporary closure was lifted. However, the first semester is almost over already.

After a few weeks of short training and final exams, the current sophomores will be commissioned early into knights and corps throughout the empire.

Of course, in my case, my future affiliation with Essenmund and the Knights of the White Nights has been confirmed without any worries.

The end of the first semester. I was thinking of focusing on clearing the final main quest.

However, it will start from next week.

So today I came to the center of the zodiac, before its place.

Daeshinjeon located not far from the imperial palace. This place was the base of the old Grius. It was being used as a temporary imperial palace instead of the now ruined imperial palace.

The Imperial Palace meeting was held right here. Of course, I was directly involved in suppressing this rebellion. I did not attend the meeting.

My identity is a Pantheon cadet. The person attending the meeting is on behalf of the Emperor and the Imperial Palace.

And since I am the princes of the empire, I have only the nominal territory of Harsen. There is no reason to attend the meeting.

‘Actually, it’s a meeting that only my maternal grandfather can attend, not me.’

Of course, my maternal grandfather, Archduke Wilhelm, is very busy, so I can’t just leave Essenmund.

So right after the rebellion was suppressed. Viscount Mason, who hastily came to the ecliptic from Essenmund, decided to attend the meeting as his maternal grandfather’s representative.

“Your Highness was very surprised. Is it the same as how the Count practically suppressed Grius’ rebellion? Your Highness was so proud.”

Viscount Mason, who entered the entrance of the Great Temple together, spoke to me. Right arm of maternal grandfather. And his expression was full of pride as he was in charge of the internal affairs of Essenmund.

“I was also very surprised when I heard the news. Your Highness spent several hours praising the Count to our ministers for that incident. I heard that another hero has appeared in the family.”

How can such blatant praise follow? Even if it’s me, I’m a little embarrassed.

However, at first glance, it seems like flattery to the Marquis of the future. Viscount Mason is a well-known loyalist in Essenmund.

A person who speaks directly without being intimidated in the slightest even in the face of Grand Duke Wilhelm the Lionheart’s sad eyes. And it is Mason who has played an active role in enabling Essenmund to go beyond Marshal and become Grand Duchy.

So even if it was me, I had no choice but to answer humbly.

“It’s too much. Lord Mason.”

Having said that, we entered the Great Hall together.

“Then I will attend the imperial palace meeting as it is.”
“Okay. There will be time until the next Nongonghaengsang. I will be waiting in the parlor of the Great Temple.”
“All right. Count.”

Mason greeted me politely and left me. I looked around the inside of the temple for a while.

‘It’s filthy luxurious.’

A corrupt cardinal. It’s where Grius used the empire’s wealth to decorate his villa to his heart’s content.

I walked down the hallway looking at the huge statues and lavish artworks scattered throughout.

And about the imperial palace meeting that will be held today. I thought for a moment. The meeting was an important meeting that decided the future of the empire.

First of all, the story of the next Emperor of the Empire will be mentioned at the meeting. The agenda was not separate from me.

As of right now, the most powerful next Emperor of the Empire is my fiancée, Lilia.

While thinking about the imperial palace meeting for a while. I ran into someone calling me in the hallway.

“Oh, it must be Count Julian.”

With silver hair and red eyes. A middle-aged man with a cold expression met my eyes.

***

The Great War of the Central Territory.

Jedin, the main god worshiped by the Holy Ramir Empire and the god of light. And this is the largest temple dedicated to the six gods under his command.

The wide hallway that is now used as a temporary imperial palace. A woman and a girl were walking together.

“I have to commend you for this. Chloe.”

Gerard de Aitern. According to the Marquis who rules the central region, the daughter of the Marquis. Chloe responded politely.

“No. Father. Still, the choice to immediately join the resistance was decided by my father himself. Everyone is your father’s official name.”

It was a bold answer. The Marquis Gerard knew his daughter well.

‘She must be very happy.’

Chloe is the most like herself of her marquise’s children. She pretends to be humble, pretends not to know.

It was Chloe who directly persuaded the Marquis in this matter. And because of that, the status of the Marquis Gerard will rise further.

The Imperial Palace meeting to be held today. In the Non-Gongsang that will be talked about there. The Marquis will be qualified as the number one contributor to suppress the rebellion.

It was natural. If the soldiers of the Marquis Gerard had not hurriedly advanced to the empire. The rebellion would have been very long.

‘If other feudal lords joined the rebels in the meantime, the confusion would have increased.’

But the Marquis’s privates and the anti-Greek guards. The resistance force created by the union of Vice-captain Tyrese’s guards launched a wave of offensive against the rebels.

‘So, vice-captain Tires will also receive first-class credit.’

It was only natural that the person at the head of the resistance army along with the Marquis was the vice-captain. And it was Princess Lilia who would bestow that qualification on public trust to the two of them.

Immediately after the rebellion was suppressed. The emperor imprisoned by Grius was found dead. The cause of death is an addiction. He wasn’t suicidal.

It seemed that he was continuously poisoned by Grius. Unable to withstand the poison any longer, the emperor seems to have died.

Although the fact has not been announced yet. The position of emperor cannot be left vacant.

And the person who is qualified to ascend to the new emperor is the third princess of the previous emperor, both in name and reality. This is Lilia Ramir Asterisk.

‘Because Princess Lillia gathered the anti-Grius faction guards together and created a resistance army. Whether it’s legitimacy or cause, it’s perfect.’

The new system of the empire that will begin in the future. The person who became the number one contributor to the new system. He will soon be awarded the title of Duke.

In many ways, it was the result of Chloe actively persuading her. Even the Marquis Gerard, who was stingy with his praise, wanted to praise his daughter this time.

‘Of course, in the current situation, the duke’s throne can’t be said to be as good as it used to be.’

It is a time of great turmoil. Although the rebellion was suppressed. Rather, in the South, a much larger rebel than this one, namely Pedro’s Confederate Army, is being organized.

Although a high-ranking aristocrat of the Empire, Gerard is fundamentally a merchant.

So, if you are in the current situation where you have already made a choice. He had to bring the greatest benefit to himself in the future.

And the Marquis Gerard thought again of the young Count who persuaded him along with Chloe in this choice.

‘Julian von Reinhardt.’

The Count cut the head of Grius, the leader of the rebels, directly.

So yourself and vice-captain Tires. Along with the two of them, the person who deserves to be ranked first in the suppression of this rebellion is that Count Julian.

Also, that count is the fiancé of Princess Lilia, who will become the new emperor. The Marquis Gerard, thinking about that fact, spoke to Chloe again.

“Chloe. You like Count Julian. Isn’t it?”

Chloe seemed to have never expected those words to come out of the mouth of the Marquis. His face blushed.

“Yeah? Father… Suddenly, what did you say…”

Looking at the shy figure that is not like Chloe. The moment the Marquis tried to speak. The Count stopped on the spot.

The Count he was talking about was right in front of him.
