Chapter 208 – 10-Nothing Goes as Planned. That’s Why It’s Fun! (1)
Kki-Ik-!!!
The huge golden door opened, revealing His Majesty’s reception room.
His Majesty the Emperor sat proudly on the throne, looking down.
Next to him was a gray-haired, warm-looking old man – the pope, who was talking to the emperor with a serious hardened face, whether or not it was an important story.
They didn’t even know what the hell they were talking about when I came in.
“Keuheum… His Majesty. General Shine Artel. I just returned with a criminal.”
I cleared my throat and ended the conversation, then hung my head.
The pope and the emperor finally looked back at me and frowned at the rudeness of the warrior dragged behind me.
It was not a bruise towards me, but a gaze as if looking at a criminal who had committed several crimes, and it was directed at the hero, not me.
Judging from the reaction, it seems that he had quite a bit of an accident.
It’s not easy for His Majesty to react like that, but it’s amazing.
I tut and kicked my tongue.
“Wait! Why is the hero in such a state!”
“Huh? Saint maiden. Were you there too?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know!”
I shrugged my shoulders in amazement at the saintess’ appeal.
He had no intention of listening to the saintess.
Rather, since the hero was in charge of the saintess, he roughly threw it to the saintess.
Cheolpudduk-!
“Kyaaah!?”
The saintess hugged the hero’s body and stepped behind her.
And when her face went red, she whimpered and tried to get out, but it looked like a clown.
I think I want to tease the saintess more like this, but I’m busy, so let’s move on.
“Your Majesty. I have witnessed the sins of the warrior. I demand punishment for this.”
I took an example and bowed my head.
As I bowed my head to the emperor and spoke with dignity, the pope, as if sensing what had happened again, lowered his head and grabbed his head.
Then, clasping his hands together and holding a posture of prayer, he reverently waited for my words.
On the other hand, the saintess glared at me intensely.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at me in this situation and said,
“Tell me the reason. If there is no good reason, even you won’t let it pass.”
“How could I lie to you, Your Majesty?”
I slowly opened my mouth and confessed the hero’s sin to the emperor who dignifiedly displayed the dignity of a ruler.
“The hero tried to harass his princess and his fiancée, Asuna, and Asuna’s knight, Vernaju, by calling them his own woman in this imperial palace.”
“…Hoo.”
“Ah… Ah! After all, that bastard!”
My horse’s reaction was hot.
The emperor tried to be as gentle as possible, but the anger was clearly visible on his face.
The pope was furious, as if he hated the hero, and glared at him as if to kill him.
Only the saintess stood in a state of bewilderment as if she did not understand the current situation.
In response, I landed an extra hit without stopping.
“The pettiness of taking out a weapon when something doesn’t go his way, saying that he is the companion of fate, a warrior’s woman, and the wickedness of insulting my family, the Duke of Shine, with a strange voice, saying that he is the villain of the duke’s family.
“Hey, wait! You insulted the family of the Duke of Shine? The hero!?”
A saintess who interrupted my words and was very flustered. Even the pope didn’t say anything, but the amount of strength he put into his hand made the veins run out.
Perhaps the two of you would want to deny what I said.
Insulting an aristocratic family is a mortal sin for aristocrats to demand punishment with one heart and one mind, even if it includes political inclinations or interests as aristocrats.
And since such a mortal sin was once committed by a hero belonging to the Helios Church, in the worst case, the relationship between all nobles and the Helios Church might be broken.
But that’s not what I want either.
“Your Majesty. As I returned here, I heard how many evils the brave man had committed by consuming the funds and support of the Empire and the Helios Church.”
“Certainly. He’s a descendant of the first hero, so he’s supporting him, but he doesn’t know manners and is too arrogant. And while he takes it for granted that he has a high status, he tries to deny his status as a nobleman and an emperor. He’s a very dangerous guy.”
“That’s right. It’s ridiculous to say that it’s a partner of fate or a pet.”
At this time, the saintess tried to step out, but she was unable to do anything to stop the pope, and she shook her body with her head down.
I thanked the pope with my eyes and got to the point.
“If you count the sins so far, the hero is not strong enough, has no determination, and is arrogant. The support of the Helios Church and the Empire is like a luxury.
“I see. If that’s the case, it’ll be a punishment as well as a training for a warrior.”
The emperor also agreed with my words.
An apprentice knight is just a knight because he likes to talk, but in terms of the military, he is like a recruit.
Due to such a position, apprentice knights had to handle all sorts of chores for the knights and run errands for the knights.
In particular, the higher the value of the name of the knights and those belonging to great families, the stronger this tendency.
However, other knights do not accept it when we bring in slaves by status and make them work.
Rolling apprentice knights in the knights is a long-standing tradition that has continued until now, and at the same time, it is a vicious absurdity covered in the name of mental training.
However, this is an era where slavery is considered unconcerned. Of course, even if you suffer such absurdities and brag about them, you will only hear that you lack mental training, and there is nothing to pay attention to like Hyundai.
There will be no more punishment than this for a hero from modern times.
“Okay. As Shine Artel said, if the results of the investigation come out that the hero did something like that, we’ll do it immediately.”
“Thank you.”
“Ugh… Ugh!”
When the conversation between me and His Majesty was over, the saintess gnashed her teeth and patted her whole body as if to hold back her anger.
Still, she didn’t go on a rampage because of the presence of the Pope and the Emperor, but her pride as a saint must have been hurt once again.
“Then, I’ll leave. And Asuna, Rubel, and Bernage will come soon to explain the situation in detail and testify to my words. If you confront them with the hero, it will soon be revealed that what I said is true.”
“Okay. Then Shine Artel. You may go now. Prepare to attack the Zent Kingdom.”
“According to your word.”
I bowed once again to His Majesty the Emperor and left.
At that time, at the same time as I left, Asuna and Bernage sighed and entered… Even His Majesty the Emperor will suffer a little because of his daughter’s anger.
And since he was going to take the Shine family’s soldiers with him when he attacked the Gent Kingdom, his thoughts immediately went that way.
“Let’s see. First of all, the population of Zent Kingdom is not that large, so 3,000 is enough. Just destroy it and advance after attack.”
Since the Gent Kingdom was said to be proud, they would surrender in fear only if they got the best results in the shortest time.
If there are those who resist, we kill them ruthlessly and don’t take prisoners, so we don’t need so many soldiers.
But there are always exceptions. I thought carefully because I didn’t know what variables might be.
“Hmm… I just have to think about it with Arnell.
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t get the right result.
So, let’s go back to the Shine family and talk to Anel.
As a bonus, I even hugged her after a long time.
“Okay. Then let’s go!”
Thinking so, I moved to the Shine family.
And I ran into her once again.
“Here you are. My hero!”
I heard a cool sound like the wind, and goose bumps ran down my spine.
Instinctively, he turned around and drew his sword… There is a beauty with her jade-colored hair flying… No, she had a madwoman.

I feel madness and enormous magical power.
I feel like my whole body is tingling.
I forgot.
The fact that that crazy bitch full of talent is in love with me… And the fact that that crazy bitch’s talent is the highest among humans.
Hehe. Hello. It’s been years since I saw you then. I’ve been watching you from behind every time.”
“…Every time?”
“Yes! The first time you received an award from His Majesty the Emperor, and the time you married the princess! I was watching you♥”
Saying that, Reisen turned her body lovingly. But her glistening mad eyes are annoying.
Fortunately, I don’t have any complaints about marrying another woman.
‘No… Is it strange that in the original work, a hero who was from a noble background and was in the position of a hero gets angry when he meets multiple men?”
I gulped and guessed that.
Reisen smiled brightly as if he knew how I felt.
“I heard. I heard! You said you were going to war again! Then take me with you!”
Reisen asks for something ridiculous to take a child of an aristocrat whose skills have not been verified to the battlefield. But maybe this is also an opportunity.
Although she is full of madness, she is usually an ordinary(?) Girl.
Her madness(?) Is limited only to me.
If so, I might be able to make her mine in her second.
It’s reluctant, but if you’re not a yandere, there’s no problem.
In the first place, there is no woman who is not crazy among my women, so there is no reason to reject her when she comes to her.
