88. The End

88. The End88. The End

"Transform the Avalon Empire!"

"Transform the Avalon Empire!"

"Transform the Avalon Empire!"

Countless voices echoed throughout the empire.

In the Emperor's audience chamber, ten Sword Masters were gathered, looking at their lord and Emperor of the Avalon Empire.

Unable to bear it any longer, the Emperor shouted.

"You, whom I thought were loyal swords, why are you betraying this empire?"

Duke Adonis Ether, the First Sword of the Empire, answered while staring at the Emperor with cold eyes.

"We are not betraying the empire. Rather, this is for the sake of the empire and its people."

"Betraying me is betraying the empire!"

At that moment, the door to the audience chamber opened, and a new figure entered.

"That can't be true, can it? The empire exists because of its people."

"You, you are..."

A woman with long, flowing blonde hair and cold eyes that contrasted with her pure appearance,

The owner of the Moonlight Inn in the starting village of Cradle and one of the seven Great Mages of the Arcana continent.

Beliar Avalon revealed herself.

"It's been a while, Father."

"You should be dead! How are you alive!?"

The Emperor's face was filled with shock.

It was understandable, as he had personally sent assassins and received news of her death, yet here she was standing proudly before him.

"Do you mean when you sent assassins to kill me as a child?"

Beliar recalled the past with a bitter smile.

Memories of her childhood, being called an illegitimate child and the Emperor trying to kill her by sending assassins, flashed through her mind.

The Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he became furious. When it became clear that further dialogue was impossible, he was dragged away by the knights.

"I'll say it again, I didn't come back because I wanted to sit on this throne."

"We understand, Princess. No, Your Majesty the Emperor."

As Duke Adonis Ether politely replied, Beliar was taken aback.

Beliar sighed.

Originally, she had planned to spend the rest of her life running an inn while taking on new disciples, but somehow Yuna knew her secret and came to negotiate.

She asked if Beliar would join her in changing the thoroughly rotten Avalon Empire.

At first, she firmly refused, but after persistent persuasion, she reluctantly took this position. Even now, she wanted nothing more than to return to her inn.

"Let's calm the protesters for now."

"Understood."

With those words, she went outside the imperial palace, where numerous travelers and monsters were waving red flags.

"Transform the Avalon Empire!"

"Transform the Avalon Empire!"

"Transform the Avalon Empire!"

She took out a staff from her subspace and struck the ground once, making a sound.

'Thud!'

At that moment, all the protesters paused and looked at her.

"From today, the history of the Avalon Empire will begin anew!"

Cheers erupted at Beliar's declaration.

The official ceremony for the new Emperor to ascend to the throne.

On the day of the coronation ceremony, a huge crowd gathered.

The new Emperor of the Avalon Empire.

The nobles who never expected the owner of the Moonlight Inn in the starting village of Cradle to become Emperor were initially opposed, but with the overwhelming support of the ten Sword Masters and the Red Revolution Group, she ascended to the throne.

This was because the core members of the Red Revolution Group were all travelers.

Who would oppose someone who had taken such good care of travelers while running the Moonlight Inn in the starting village of Cradle?

As a result, numerous revolution members gathered on one side to raise a toast.

However, there was one concern.

"We've lost our reason to wave the revolution flag in the Avalon Empire, haven't we?"

"It's okay. We still have the neighboring country, right?"

"As expected, Comrade Yuna. You're so smart."

If we can't wave it in the Avalon Empire, we can wave it in another country.

We can wave the flag of revolution in Arcadia, which has three magic towers and is called the homeland of all mages.

I heard there's a lot of corruption in the magic towers, which makes for a good cause.

As we were discussing with sinister smiles, a trumpet sounded.

'Buuuuuuuuuuuung!'

And the coronation ceremony began.

When Sister Bell, who had put on the crown handed to her by the high priest, waved to the public, thunderous cheers erupted.

From the day of the coronation ceremony, the empire held a festival for a week, providing unlimited food and drink to all citizens, with all costs borne by the imperial family. All the restaurants let out cries of joy.

Our revolution members also enjoyed the festival and drank, then returned to the inn to log out. When I came out, Yong-yong also jumped out of the space I opened.

His face was red as if he had been drinking secretly.

"Did you drink?"

"Kyuuung!"

Our Yong-yong says you have to have a drink on such a good day.

I wonder when he became such a drinker.

When I poked his cheeks, he acted cute saying it tickled, isn't he too adorable!?

I hugged Yong-yong and got into bed, closing my eyes for tomorrow's schedule.

Waking up to the sound of the alarm clock in the morning, I stretched and got up to find Yong-yong sleeping with his belly up.

He usually wakes up earlier than me, but maybe he drank too much yesterday.

As I gently stroked Yong-yong, he finally opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Kyuuung."

"Hmm? Honey water...? I'll look for some."

A snake asking for honey water must be our Yong-yong.

Or is he a dragon?

I went down to the kitchen to look for honey, but I couldn't find any.

"Mom, we don't have any honey?"

"Here it is."

I'm sure there wasn't any just now, but what's that honey in mom's hand?

I received the honey from mom, put it in water, and went back to the room to give it to Yong-yong, who downed it in one go.

"Do you feel better now?"

"Kyuuung."

"You want spicy kimchi stew...?"

"Kyuuung!"

"......"

I carried Yong-yong in my arms and went down to the kitchen, where I smelled kimchi stew.

I'm sure it was beef bone soup earlier!?

"When did you make kimchi stew!?"

"I thought our daughter had honey water, so she must have had a drink."

"I didn't drink!"

Mom laughed and told me to sit down, then served the spicy kimchi stew.

I gave a spoonful to Yong-yong, who was waiting and drooling, and he ate it while making a 'keuuuu' sound.

"You're really like an old man."

"Kyuuung!?"

After finishing the meal, today's plan was to take a walk in the nearby park with Yong-yong, go to a cafe, have lunch, and then do some leisurely shopping.

After getting ready and going outside, a black car was waiting, but surely not...?

The door opened, and a sister in a suit with a familiar face got out of the car.

"Traveler No. 1, it's been a while."

"Ah, the team leader from before...?"

"I have something I'd like to tell you. Do you have a moment?"

"Y-yes, that's fine."

She's much more polite than before. seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Why...?

She even opened the door for me, so I thanked her and got in the car, which started moving slowly.

"Where are we going?"

"It's a secret."

Faced with such a confident answer, I looked at her with a bewildered expression, and the team leader smiled and said we were going to the company.

The car drove quickly and arrived in front of the company. We got out of the car and followed the team leader into the company, where she guided me somewhere.

We took the elevator and got off on a different floor than before, and inside it looked like some kind of party venue...?

At that moment, I heard the sound of firecrackers.

'Pababababang!'

Numerous employees appeared from somewhere and set off firecrackers, what on earth is going on!?

Then my friend Nia appeared, took my hand, and led me up to a platform.

And a certificate of commendation naturally appeared.

"You have made a great contribution to the development of our game..."

No, anyone would think I'm an employee of the game company.

Why are they suddenly doing this!?

Wishing someone would explain, I looked at Nia, who smiled and handed me the certificate and trophy.

After receiving them, she told me to look straight ahead, and as I turned around, numerous employees were waiting to congratulate me.

As I stared blankly at the ensuing party, Nia finally smiled and explained the situation.

"Actually, you see. An AI robot predicted the future..."

Nia's story goes like this:

Originally, the Avalon Empire was supposed to fall due to the anger of the people, but because I persuaded Sister Bell to come, history changed.

As I stood there with a bewildered expression, she patted my head and thanked me.

"Thank you for protecting another of my hometowns, Yuna."
