I Returned， but the Reverse World 417

Chapter 417 – 36. Temporary Return to the Empire

The Imperial Castle of the Glazer Empire where I stayed for the first time in a few months.

Siwoo threw his body on the bed and sighed.

“Wow, you’re tired.”

When he came to the Empire, he went straight from the Kingdom of Palania to the Dungeon of Dolumuz.

However, the destination on the way back was Navaran, the capital of the Glazer Empire.

That was quite a forced march.

There are many reasons.

The first is the urging of the imperial family.

The Glazer upper management, who had been anxious about the disappearance of the Adlen Party, were delighted to hear the news of a dungeon attack rather than a rescue, but urged a quick return.

Next is fatigue.

Everyone, both the expedition team and the rescue team, was exhausted, but there were many who wanted to come back quickly and get a good rest in Navaran, even if it was because they overexerted themselves a little.

The last reason was the alliance of another rescue team besides Siwoo and his group, namely S-class hero Michael.

As expected, Michael and his group, which had many people, were attacked by the dungeon numerous times.

Moreover, it is said that many things were not properly prepared and that various other problems arose.

Unable to unite due to external threats, internal disputes range from minor arguments to widespread fights or discord over water.

In the end, there was even a death, so I said nothing.

‘Is it fortunate that the damage was less than expected?’

What is surprising is that although many people are injured and devastated, only a few people die.

Fortunately, the majority have been broken in many ways, both mentally and physically.

In fact, it is a judgment other than power.

It is obvious how much damage this will cause to the First Princess faction.

At first glance, it was said that it was an attempt despite the opposition of her wife, the 1st princess.

Perhaps the First Princess’ faction will need quite a bit of time just to recover from the political damage.

In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that he was eliminated from the next succession competition.

‘I didn’t mean to, but one person falls like this.’

It’s not a bad thing.

You may not know about the 1st princess, but Michael has the worst personality.

It’s a little later, but even in the original history, the first princess eventually becomes distant from the succession.

And as a result of his weakened power and diminished power, Michael betrays the continent without his wife’s knowledge and becomes attached to his demons.

Although the elimination period has been accelerated, Michael’s behavior will probably not change much.

‘If we use our hands from now on, surveillance will be possible. To do that…’

There is a need to plant people in the First Princess’ faction, especially around Michael.

Michael is not stupid either, so he should be as careful as possible.

There was one person who came to mind as the best candidate, but I hesitated because I didn’t think Helena or the twin princesses would like it.

“I’ll think about it a little more first.”

In the end, Siwoo postponed the conclusion.

As for Seoram Michael, would he think of betrayal as soon as his situation became dangerous?

Since he doesn’t go far from the islands, it won’t be easy for him to come into contact with demons.

“… Let’s get some sleep.”

Around 5 p.M., The sun hasn’t set yet.

However, the intense affair in the morning, the tense battle, and the return through forced march caused the accumulated fatigue to burst out.

Two eyes that close little by little.

Han Si-woo fell into sleep without even realizing it.

“Crazy bastard…”

Nestra Glazer, the first princess of the Glazer Empire, glared at her husband in front of her with her angry face.

Although the relationship was made for power and purpose rather than love, the relationship between the two was not that bad.

There were a lot of conflicts, but in general, we respected each other without touching each other too much.

But this crossed the line too far.

And instead of succeeding, I ended up failing badly.

“…”

As much as he knew his mistake, Michael kept his mouth shut.

My whole body trembled at the anger of my wife, whom I saw for the first time.

It was because I was afraid of the aftermath.

I’m afraid she might do something.

Even though she is far from the succession competition, 1st Princess Nest is the eldest daughter of Glazer, the most powerful nation on the continent.

In fact, to be precise, it was not her wife who was truly afraid, but Nestra’s mother, the Second Empress.

Although she was the second empress born into a humble count family, she became empress through her own efforts.

A woman who is even called a cold-blooded witch who has to put up with even Helena, who is called the Iron-Blooded Princess.

2 If the empress wanted to, she could kill him, even if it meant taking some damage.

“What on earth were you thinking when you did something like that? I told you not to go! I told you not to go!!”

She was Nestra who always treated Michael with respect, but she did not do so this time.

Her entire existence is due to her mother’s strict education.

Because the indoctrination was so thorough, respect is shown in most situations, but now it has gone beyond the normal range.

Michael took a step back due to the force of Nestra shouting loudly.

“I-I… There’s nothing wrong with me.”

“What?”

“Damn! I’m not at fault!”

He shouted with red-veined eyes.

“It’s all because those bastards are weak!”

I am well aware of my mistakes.

Countless threats and discord occurred within the dungeon.

And the number of injured continues to increase.

Instead of rescuing them, they were only focused on survival, but the dungeon disappeared, and they were rescued.

As soon as I had some time to spare, I started to feel anxious about what would happen in the future.

In the end, as a result of all the stress, Michael began to escape reality.

“What should I do when those idiots are weak? They are not helpful at all! They are such trash!!”

“… Ha.”

Nesta was speechless.

You can tell just by the look in his eyes that everything he says is sincere.

It was a funny thing for the first princess.

All the warriors and party brought by Michael belong to the clan he created.

We know that simply increasing the number is not the answer, so we carefully selected the number of people.

And that too from Michael himself.

In other words, everything he says right now is spitting in my face.

Wasn’t his clan set up to create a faction of its own that had nothing to do with the imperial family?

My anger subsided at the absurd remark.

“I really regret it.”

Nest was slowly uttered as if thinking over each word.

Even the energy I used to get angry at this guy became a waste.

“Did I tell you last time? Marriage with you is one of the few things I pursued despite my mother’s opposition. All the others have not yielded results. So, I am trying my best to make this marriage, the only one with a good outcome, work out somehow. We tried, but you and bastard…”

“Fuck! So what are you saying?”

“That unpleasant curse. I told you not to say it when talking to me.”

“What are you going to do? Do you know what it was like during this rescue and expedition? Christina, that fucking bitch was the only one who was okay! Out of nearly 80 people, she was the only one! Do you think that makes sense?! There must be something about that bitch, damn it!”

“What nonsense…”

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even speak.

Knight Christina by Michael Party.

2 It is a guard and guard given to Michael by the Empress as a wedding gift, and is a small elite secret unit raised by her.

An absolutely loyal group that only follows the Second Empress, not the Emperor or the Empire.

It’s obvious that the reason Christina was fine was simply because she was strong.

But to have such an absurd suspicion.

‘No.’

Cold sweat broke out on her back.

This is dangerous in a different way.

She was angry and said some harsh words, but it wasn’t the end yet.

Michael’s presence is still useful even if he causes a major accident.

In any case, he is still the only four S-class male warriors on the continent.

But in this situation, even internal unity will not be easy.

‘This is…’ It was my mistake.’

1 Princess Nestra was of average talent, with not many outstanding points, but the education she received from her mother was solid.

She realized that the words she spewed impulsively were mistakes.

But she couldn’t apologize.

In any case, Michael was the one who caused the accident, and her pride did not allow her to console her husband like that.

In the first place, the question is whether rational conversation would work with people like this.

“Look! You can’t answer because you have a guess too!”

“Huh? How far-fetched is that…”

“Then tell me! Isn’t it strange? Huh?! Why is that bitch still fine? Huh?!”

“Whew, Michael. It’s not what I’m going to say. Just calm down. Think about it rationally.”

“The opposite sex? The opposite sex? Are you saying I’m out of my mind?! Are you saying I’m an asshole?!

Michael spouting out anger with a red face.

The first princess realized that no matter what she said now, it would sound harsh to him.

In a situation where the two of them couldn’t handle the situation alone, it was Christina, who became the topic of conversation, who saved Nestra.

“Her Highness the Second Empress is looking for you, Her Highness.”

“Mother…”

“Ah, yes. You came at the right time. Now, say it with your own mouth. What are you…? Why are you suddenly approaching me?”

“Christina?!”

“I knocked him out for a moment. Michael will come to his senses when he wakes up.”

“… Yeah. I guess so.”

Although she was surprised when Christina suddenly punched Michael in the back, she was more than happy.

If you don’t stop like this, the conversation will definitely take a turn.

More than that, I was worried about what kind of face I would have to see my mother now.

“Let’s go.”

“Gulp. Okay.”

My lips are dry.

Nestra asked the female driver guiding her in a trembling voice.

“By any chance, how is your mother…?”

“I’m sorry. I don’t think that’s something I can say.”

“Oh, yes. That’s right.”

The business-like tone of voice wasn’t much different from my usual Christina, but that made me even more nervous.

For the 1st princess, the scariest thing in the world is her mother, the 2nd empress.

The Empress, who had been strict ever since I could remember, was strict with her rewards and punishments, and that was the worst thing about her now.

‘My only fault was not being able to stop it…’

If such words were applicable, the imperial family would be at peace.

As a result, I was trembling and followed Christina without knowing where I was going.

“We have arrived. The Second Empress is here.”

“Yes, four.”

The first princess did not even realize that she had bitten her tongue.

2 The face-to-face meeting with the Empress was just around the corner.
