The world is so small that the slaver who sold Lionel and the others in Yenis has now assumed the position of commanding the pterodactyl unit.......

With that thought in mind, it was decided to have the slavers apply the slave crest to the emperor under the order of His Highness Albert, and make him a slave of His Highness Albert.

''........Doing this to His Majesty the Emperor.......''

He even let out such mutterings, but the slavers promptly finished the emperor's enslavement work as if they had realized that they had no other choice.

After the work, he woke up the emperor and told him that he had enslaved His Highness Alberto, but there was something strange about his behavior.

''I had his Majesty's emotions sealed off by Estia.

I'm not sure if he sensed that I had doubts or not, but Lionel said so in an uninhibited voice. But the emperor had the demon race, also known as the dark family, in his body.

Naturally, his resistance to the dark attribute was also strong. The fact that Estia's dark-attribute magic surpassed that resistance could not hide its surprise.

''It seems that she was stunned, and with the help of the Dark Spirit, she managed to seal it off.

Estia explained it to me as if she could read my emotions.

Apparently it was on my face........

But still.........it's strange because when emotions are blocked out, the emperor with so much supremacy looks like a mere person.

But it's not good for him to continue in this state.

When we ask him to declare his abdication and abdication to His Highness Albert, the emperor will have to look normal.

Otherwise, even if His Highness Alberto becomes the emperor, there is a chance that he will be made to be a dark fool, instead of being able to take real power.

........well, to think about that.......I turned my gaze to His Highness Alberto.

The slave contract was concluded without incident.

There are three things that Albert ordered the Emperor to do in the contract.

One, not to engage in hostile behavior towards those present here.

One, to ask His Highness Albert's permission before using any of his skills.

If someone tries to reassert themselves, you must inform His Highness Albert of their intentions.

That's all three.

And then, His Highness Prince Albert, Melfina, Gladys, and Mr. Lysak signed three oaths with me.

First, you will not act hostile to us.

One, you will not take any illegal action in St. Shrour or Yennis.

One, you must never contact me with a demon ball if you have a problem with a demon.

That's the above three.

Now we can be relieved that we will never have to fight each other, but we won't be fighting with the Empire for the time being.

Incidentally, at this time, Mr. Lysak had also become His Highness's slave, and was once again under the umbrella of His Highness Alberto, and was made to swear that he would never betray him again, but I'll spare you the trouble.

After that, Dolan asked us for permission to land, but it seemed that we were already under attack from the imperial soldiers, so we were forced to run to the attacking imperial soldiers in a hurry.

I've been in charge of explaining to the imperial soldiers that I was staying at the imperial castle as a burglar and a wise man, and that an airship was coming for me.

It was a little suspicious, but the soldiers who witnessed the Emperor and His Highness together had no choice but to believe it.

At this point, the attacking stance was finally released and the amphibians landed safely on the castle grounds.

''Leave this place to me. Luciel-sama, please prepare to launch.''

Okay. Lionel, when you get in, come to the cockpit.

I understand.

Once we had left this place to Lionel, we boarded the amphibian so that we wouldn't look suspicious.

We headed straight to the bridge and were greeted by Doran and the others.

We had just parted ways this morning, but it felt like it had been a long time since we had spent an intense amount of time together.

'Dolan, I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to the airship as well.

Huh, that was quite a thrilling flight. And you had a chance to test its durability.

Dolan laughed happily as he said this but the way Dolan said it bothered me.

''........You were already under attack?''

'If it's only an imperial ballista, it could be completely prevented. Magic wouldn't fall so easily on the battlefield if you could get them to activate the area barrier as well.

Well that's fine. Well that's fine then.......is everyone okay?

In response to Dolan's words, he wanted to apologize but seemed to be told that he didn't have to apologize, so he decided to ask everyone else.

'We didn't have much to do... but it was a lovely experience of watching the world.

'Yes. Thanks to the fact that I've been in the sky for a long time, my image of flying has become much more solidified. Maybe now I can even use spirit magic to fly in the sky.

Nadia and Lydia seemed to have enjoyed their air travel and seemed to have no problems.

''Luciel-sama, I want you to let me build another one of these amphibians that my master made. Then the Luciel Chamber of Commerce will definitely be able to dominate the world. Then we can focus on our research.

'Owner, I've done a few test fires, so I can't fire the main gun, but I can shoot down any enemy that comes near the airship.

Lyna and Nanya had become more loyal to their own desires, perhaps because of Doran's influence.

Nanya's personality in particular had changed a bit, and when she turned her gaze towards Doran, she was deflected.......

''.........''

Lythian was playing with the searching mages made by Lythian even more, which Doran had been playing with until earlier this morning, but he hadn't even noticed us.

Apparently, Lythian is driving as usual.

I decided that if this is the case, there is no problem for us, and told everyone that we will be heading to the battlefield from now on.

''Everyone, listen up. We will now proceed with the amphibians to the front line where the Empire and the Rubruk Kingdom are fighting.

'Does that mean we're going to follow either of you in the war and slay people?

Nadia asked that question in anticipation of the possibility of fighting.

''No, basically, I don't want to fight the soldiers of both armies. The only ones heading to the front line are the soldiers the Empire has turned into demons.''

'If we're at war in the first place, I think we should just let it go.

This time Lyna tells me so, but I can't say so.

''I heard that they lost their slave master and are rampaging regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Of course it's fine if it's only on the battlefield, but soldiers who have been turned into demons are very strong.

That's exactly what Kefin and Keti were injured, to the point of half destroying Paula's golem, so it's indeed impossible to leave this behind.

If it is accidentally moved into the neighborhood, even innocent people will suffer. I want to nip that possibility in the bud.

Master Luciel, isn't he a softie?

''If there's any chance of fighting that demonized soldier one day, I just want to take him down while he's weak.

...I knew you were a softie.

Lyna seemed to agree with me on that.

I told her that she could stay in the Empire if she didn't want to go to the battlefield, just in case she didn't want to go to the battlefield, but none of them wanted to stay.

I was more concerned about the technical team, who seemed to have something they wanted to try if they were going to the battlefield, and they seemed to be having a lot of fun.

As I was about to tell them their respective roles on the battlefield, Lionel finally came back, but for some reason, His Highness Prince Albert and the Emperor were behind him.

''Why did you bring them here?''

I think I'll take this opportunity to bring this war to an end once and for all.

Lionel was proud to say so.
