Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

42 – Extraversion. Emperor Rael Arhan.

“Ah, Dia. Thank you”

Rael Arhan, the emperor of the Arhan Empire, accepted the documents from Deputy Minister Dia with a frown.

“… This.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Sorry, Your Majesty.”

“No, it’s not Dia’s job to apologize.”

The document Rael picked up is a plan for compensation for soldiers who died during the war.

Since countless people of the empire were killed in the war against the demons, we were preparing various plans to soothe their spirits.

“The Congress rejected everything… ?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“… I need to meet the Duke of Triel.”

Emperor Rael made an impression while thinking of Derman Triel.

I knew he was a disrespectful person, but how could he even deny this?

“Ah, Your Majesty. That is.”

“Hmm? What happened?”

“A little while ago, the Duke of Patriot was waiting for His Majesty.”

“Ah!”

Rael’s expression brightened when Dia’s name came out.

“Then, I will meet Xian first, and then I will meet the Duke of Triel with him.”

If it’s Shien, if he’s the one who accompanied countless soldiers on the frontlines, he’ll definitely be his strength.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Then… “

“Please tell the Duke of Triel that I am inviting you to dinner.”

“Okay.”

“Then… “

Rael’s gaze turned to the stack of papers on the desk.

I want to go see Cien right now, but there are too many problems to deal with right now.

Zer and Anon claim credit in the war and covet the territory of the empire, and Daman does not miss this opportunity and is doing all sorts of tricks to transfer the wealth of the empire to his own country.

“After… “

Things that do not even know grace.

Who ended the war with the demon lord?

Why are you guys claiming the ball?

If it wasn’t for Xian, do you guys know what it would be like?

I felt like I wanted to shout like that, but I held back because diplomacy isn’t something like that.

“Could you please call Shien over here?”

Still, I want to see his face now.

Even if I can’t get administrative help from him, just having him by my side will help me.

At Rael’s words, Dia immediately left to call Xien.

“You turned the kingdom upside down.”

“Ah, it’s only because they are so cut off. There was no other option.”

The mansion of the Marquis Grepa, one of the three great marques, the leader of the Western Empire.

In front of the owner, Fried Grepa, sat his cousin, whom he hadn’t seen in quite a while.

“After… “

His authority outside the system was the Marquis of Grepa, whose authority was no less than that of the Duke of Triel, but he had no idea how to deal with this man in front of him.

“Laios.”

“Freed.”

The two briefly called each other and kept their mouths shut while exchanging glances for a moment.

It was Laios who broke the silence first.

“I just heard that the Empire sent a letter of protest.”

“… How else did you know that?”

“In this empire, there is no place beyond the reach of Arhan.”

Not Rael’s eyes, but Arhan’s eyes.”

“When did you plant people in the Ministry of Information again?”

When did the prince, who was brought down by Triel and Rael after the death of the emperor and was confined to the Holy Kingdom, planted a person in the intelligence department?

At that question, Laios answered with a smile.

“Oh, I didn’t put people in the intelligence department, but you know there’s one more place that shares that information.”

“The Imperial Knights.”

Laios nodded as if he was right, and continued.

“Since I was very young, Frio has been my man who served me. The original imperial knights were no different from Arhan’s privates.”

Captain Giel attended the emperor and served Rael after that, and the former vice-captain who is now dead has served Rael since before. Prio always serves himself.

In fact, half of the Imperial Knights follow him, Laios said.

“Anyway, that’s not the point. To dare to protest against the Empire, it was unheard of when the emperor was still alive.”

“That is true.”

Marquis Grepa answered while recalling the banquet held recently in the Islands.

His Majesty the current Emperor is obviously intelligent, but since he is more inquisitive than that, there have been frequent complaints that things he doesn’t know about keep climbing.

The imperial authority is not shaken because its guardians, Seongguk and Duke Triel, are still in good health, but it is clear that there are complaints.

“I have heard that the Great War will be established in Jedo. Is this really an empire or a holy kingdom?”

In fact, it is never a bad thing to have a large transfer.

All they do is pray to Kiriya and heal the wounded and sick among the people of the empire.

Considering that before the Great Shrine was built, nobles who suffered serious illness or injuries visited the Holy Land, it could be seen as an achievement in bringing in the Great Temple, but Fried tried to ignore that fact.

Because among the nobles in good health, there are definitely those who think like the prince in front of them.

“There was even talk of passing the land in the east to another country.”

“That… “

It is true that Zer and Anon requested the territory of the East.

The emperor was enraged by that request, and the council even talked about war, but the emperor replied that he would consider it, saying that a series of wars would never be possible.

Of course, I don’t really think I’m going to hand over the territory, but it’s inevitable that such words will come out as soon as I put into my mouth not a refusal, but a consideration.

“Because of that, our Lutega friends are very displeased.”

“Lute is also with you.”

Although he lost most of his troops and territories, Lute is still a traditional feudal family.

The weight will be completely different between one feudal lord and two feudal lords.

“But you know that I still lack a lot.”

Even if there are two feudal lords on this side, there are the Holy Kingdom, Triel, and the Pale family on the other side.

The Marquis of Gyor is probably a potential enemy, as he will probably remain neutral and enter the war in an advantageous position.

The Imperial Knights and the Grand Duke of the North are also enemies.

“That’s fine. We just need a cause.”

“Yes? How much is the power difference?”

Laios cut off Freed’s words and lit a black flame on his hand.

“That… “

At the flames that felt ominous just by looking at them, Freed naturally moved his hand to the sword at his waist.

“What is that… !”

Laios smiled instead of answering that question.

“You don’t have to worry about running out of electricity. I mean.”

———————————————————————————

“Your Majesty… !”

“Dia… ?”

While working in the office like one day, Rael was taken aback when he saw Dia who had forgotten to even knock and jumped in.

“What happened? Just calm down… “

“A rebellion broke out.”

“Yes… ?”

“West and East have completely crossed over. After the Marquis Gyor, who had declared neutrality, was massacred, even southern nobles joined the rebels.”

What… ?

If the western, eastern and southern parts of the country have all been passed over, in reality, all places except for the islands have been passed over.

“Why didn’t I do that until now… !”

“Even with ten mouths, I have nothing to say. That is, Vice-captain Prio of the Hwangyoung Knights and his faction controlled information on the spot.”

“Frio is… ?”

Prio betrayed me… ? For good reason…

No way

“And… This is a message from the Holy Land. It is said that Prince Laios Arhan escaped from the Holy Kingdom a few weeks ago.”

“Older brother… “

Civil War.

Those two letters came to the princess’s mind.

“I don’t have time to be like this. What happened to Frio?”

“After an engagement with Captain Giel, he was defeated and fled.”

I missed it, la.

“Please call Lord Peltz, Duke Triel, Duke Pale, and Shien.”

From noble mtl dot com

First of all, the civil war must be stopped.

I don’t know what your brother was thinking when he rebelled, but

Even if the eastern, western, and southern regions are all combined, they fall far short of the power of the islands.

So, first deploy the troops…

“That’s it, Hoguk-gong headed south.”

“Yes?”

“That, the only way to stop the civil war is to slash the head, Emperor Laios, no. I turned to the traitor Laios.”

———————————————————————————-

“Oh, Xian. Come on.”

“… Do you know me?”

Shien faced Laios, the traitor standing in front of him.

As if he knew that he was coming, he instead guided himself to Laios without any barriers from outside the barracks to here.

Do you really think you can subdue yourself?

“… Traitor, Laios. I came here to cut you.”

On the way to this place, I saw the ruins of the south.

Familiar, and at the same time, a look I thought I would never see again after the demon king fell.

As he recalled the sight of the war engulfing him, Shien’s hands naturally gained strength.

“I thought so. If it was the Cien I knew, of course it would have moved that way.”

But why does the author in front of me speak as if he knows me well?

While feeling that kind of doubt, I felt a sudden presence behind him and at the same time reflexively swung the drawn sword.

Quaaang!

A roar erupted and the assassin who had attacked from behind was thrown out.

‘It was dangerous.’

Even though he said he was talking, he didn’t notice until he got this close.

“Greetings. Maybe, because they might have been with you.”

“What are you talking about?”

Those who might have been together.

Wait, these guys?

At the same time, dozens of curses attacked, and a swordsman holding a dark red demonic sword walked towards him.

“An assassin, a shaman, and a magician.”

Each of them are strong enough to make a name for themselves on the continent, but where did they find them?

But,

It’s not enough.

“My name is Shien, the protector of the Empire.”

When I lightly operated the aura while holding the sword, the curse disappeared, and when I lightly swung the sword horizontally, the assassin and magic swordsman fell out at the same time.

“A warrior who slayed the demon king.”

Thus, Shien rushed at Laios, and three strong men rushed to stop him.

———————————————————————————

Party, pair, pair

“Very good, indeed a warrior.”

I trained with all my heart and armed myself with the best artifacts I could find, but I couldn’t even inflict a single serious injury on a warrior, let alone defeat it.

“Actually, I had high hopes for a magic swordsman, but wasn’t it enough?”

Laios’ joke, Shien moved on without answering.

I never thought they would have hidden three of these strong men.

But once they’ve been defeated, the author is finished.

If we lose the focal point of the prince, the civil war will also come to an end.

The hero who thought so had no choice but to stop his feet at the ominous passing through his head.

Because Laios, who obviously had no energy, suddenly felt a creepy energy.

“As expected, it feels good.”

As Laios snapped his hand, black flames dwelled on the bodies of the fallen shaman, assassin, and magic swordsman.

Then, those who had confirmed that they had apparently stopped breathing stood up again.

“Undead… ?”

“Now, the second phase begins.”

It will be different from before. Laios smiled and added, for some reason, Shien looked like a demon lord.

———————————————————————————

“After… “

He shed a lot of blood.

I don’t know how many hours we’ve been fighting.

Leaving the undead alone, he tried to aim for Laios first, but the sword could not reach him because of an unknown black flame protecting him.

If I had to spend a long time preparing for the blow, Bell would have been confident in ignoring that flame, but I didn’t have time for that.

“Kuh.”

Shaman, no. I was out of breath from the miasma of the lich now.

I have passed the point of being poisoned, but it takes a lot of aura to breathe in this place that has become completely poisonous.

The most annoying assassin was made into powder so that he could no longer survive, but the magic swordsman who came back to life as an undead was a powerful enemy that reminded him of the demon king’s corps commander.

The situation is not good.

First of all, you have to get out of your body.

After announcing that Laios has become a warlock, ask for help from the Holy Kingdom and come with his comrades.

The moment he made up his mind, Laios, who had been sitting motionless in a black chair until now, stood up.

“Tsk. Are you struggling to this extent? Guy Rael, it looks like he has no talent for fostering.”

“What?”

“How the hell did you catch the Demon King? Isn’t this worse than the demon king?”

What are you talking about?

Of course, the demon king joined forces with his colleagues to catch it.

The light of the saint weakened the demon lord’s darkness, the elven princess and beastman’s heir blocked the menacing attack, and the imperial knight pierced the way.

In the first place, that existence is not something that can be captured alone,

The man had an expression of genuine disappointment.

Why?

“Okay, let’s finish playing here.”

“What the hell is that… “

Before Shien could finish her words, darkness spread over her entire field of vision.

Feeling ominous, Shien tried to leap in the opposite direction of Laios, but she was blocked by the darkness and bounced off.

She then drew her sword and tried to slash her darkness, but

“Stop… dance… La… “

Lich’s spell bound her feet,

“… “

The magic swordsman’s sword rushed over her head,

“It’s over.”

As she deflected her sword, her black flames attacked him.

That was the last scene Shien remembered.
