Chapter.26 Visit to the next town

We appeared before the emperor.

The emperor puts his hand on the concubine’s shoulder and then jumps up with a startled look on his face.

I flinch from the luminous phenomenon caused by the teleportation, but flinch again when I see Lulin’s face. It looks like a turtle putting its neck into its shell.

“you!”

The emperor recognized my face and pursed his mouth as he was about to summon the knights.

“Long time no see. your majesty.”

Still, since he is the emperor, he must be polite. Then the emperor also bowed his head towards Lulin.

“Oh it’s been a while. “Great being.”

“who are you?”

Lurin responds with the look on her face as if she were meeting a stranger. Then the emperor let out a faint laugh.

“Hey, we met often before. “When I was in the capital.”

“I don’t remember human faces!”

Lulin crossed his arms and presented a confident logic. So I just ignored it and turned my attention back to the emperor. The Emperor continues speaking to Lulin.

“You are still living with Ellesion.”

I thought a strange sound would come out of Lurin’s mouth again, so I hit the bow and answered. Even his facial expression is so arrogant that if he knew his identity, he would do it himself.

“Yes, I’m still with the insectivore.”

The person who reacted as soon as he heard those words was not the emperor, but Lulin. He suddenly bites my arm and gets angry.

“Who is insectivorous?!”

“Then what is it?”

“Azuiida!”

He answers while biting his arm. Apparently, she is the hostess! It seemed like it was saying that, but I ignored it.

“It’s still the same... .”

The Emperor bursts into a cold sweat and laughs. Looking at that face, I instantly remembered the face of the emperor who had asked me to save the capital during the Dragon War.

***

The dragons are rampaging.

A situation where more than half of the capital was destroyed and the foundation of the empire was collapsing.

Lemidan, the 24th emperor of the empire, despaired.

To a dragon, the name emperor was worth less than the dust on the street. Dust can be brushed off, but the existence of the emperor was not even worth dusting off to the dragon.

There isn’t even a need for conversation.

The emperor too. Peacock too. Count too. Numerous nobles too. Knights too.

The dragons’ fight could not be stopped.

Moreover, most of the troops left the capital because of the monster war.

Of course, even if the troops had not left the capital, it would have simply increased casualties.

The Empire’s firepower was not created with dragons in mind. There is no such thing as an army that fights dragons in the first place.

The problem is that if things continue like this, the capital of the empire, which boasts a thousand years of history, is on the verge of being devastated. The emperor was afraid of that.

The road to destruction.

After all, dragons run rampant within his reign. I wanted to avoid being left as an emperor who destroyed the capital.

How much will the emperor be criticized in future history?

It’s dark before my eyes. But there is no way to avoid it. There is no other way than just cursing fate... .

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

The building in front of the castle exploded due to the missed breath. Smoke rises. The fire was spreading everywhere.

“your majesty! your majesty! “You must avoid it!”

The moment the breath hit the ground, the 1st Knight Commander wrapped his arms around the Emperor, bowed down, and shouted with an urgent expression.

But the emperor felt that the very word of avoiding was too foolish.

“Where are you fleeing to? I heard that the dragons’ breath melts even the underground. How can we know how far the anger will extend? Rather, it was moving... .”

Couuuuuuuuck!

Before the emperor could finish his words, one side of the imperial palace wall disappeared without a trace and the area around it began to burn.

The emperor and dukes could not believe what they saw before their eyes.

Human... !

A human can block a dragon’s breath.

Does that mean it is even possible?

“Your Majesty, I am a human. “Because I am human, I am on the side of fellow humans.”

The young man smiled and continued speaking clearly towards the nobles and the emperor who were suspicious that it was a polymorph dragon. Especially with great emphasis on the word human.

“If you are a human being, please hurry and save us!”

One of the dukes next to him shouted. But L just laughed.

“I am a man, but I am not your subordinate. So, there are conditions for helping.”

“you! “The red guy over there is attacking!”

“Then why not kill me?”

The young man stretched out his hand again.

Kuaaaaaaaa!

Soon, a black sphere surrounds the Red Dragon’s body and explodes. The dragon exploded and died right before my eyes.

Couuuuuuuuuuck!

Soon the corpse fell and destroyed the imperial palace.

The earth shakes and dust rises.

“What are the conditions!”

I don’t know what is what. However, the young man in front of me claims that he is a human.

The emperor knew that in order to avoid the stigma of being the last emperor, he had to accept any conditions.

It was confusing, but the emperor was also a great man with his head turned to that level.

“It’s no big deal. I want to end this war. Furthermore, I want to end the monster war that has caused humanity to suffer for decades. So, if you would entrust me with all military authority in the empire until the end of the war, I would be happy to help.”

In a still tense situation, the young man’s voice spread throughout the surrounding area.

Anyway, I participated in this dragon war for Lulin. If that is the fate of the one with the heart of Lord.

What has come to this point is a great war taking place between humanity and monsters, separate from the dragon war.

A battlefield where people were summoned to this world and suffered death for decades.

The young man wanted to put an end to the endless fighting.

***

“It’s still the same... .”

“Well, isn’t consistency a good thing?”

I shrugged my shoulders. The emperor laughs again.

“What on earth is going on? “He turned his back on everything and left.”

“It’s no big deal. “It was just a small matter. Oh, by the way, I met the crown prince a few months ago.”

“That child?”

The emperor’s eyebrows twitch at the sudden mention of his son.

“You seem to have big dreams.”

“Hmm.”

The emperor scratched his cheek. Still, there was no particular answer.

Recently, it has been known that the emperor is so absorbed in his concubines that he neglects his political affairs. But the emperor I know is not that type of person.

An emperor who always thought about his people even during war. Of course, he was a person who only thought, but could not check the opposition of nobles and establish policies for the people. So, he may not have been a Ming lord, but he was not a tyrant or a tyrant.

“Aren’t all the rumors about Your Majesty recently due to Your Highness the Crown Prince? In order to grow strong, aren’t you pretending to hide yourself and leave everything to the dukes? ?”

“As expected, it’s still the same. “You.”

“Hey, stop asking now. “My arms are not jerky.”

As we talk, I can feel Rurin’s saliva hanging down my arm. I said it was a carnivore, and its retaliation was very persistent.

“I don’t know!”

He’s still biting my arm, so my speech is muffled.

“Being insectivorous is not necessarily a bad thing. My cute insectivore... Well, that doesn’t mean anything... ?”

“I hate insectivores! uh? thy?”

Lurin finally opened her mouth and answered with normal pronunciation and cupped her cheek. This is the face that I like about the “my” part of the expression “my insectivore.” Anyway, thanks to that, my arm was finally free. The emperor looked at Lulin and me in turns and then took a deep breath.

“Okay, so the great being... Huh. Can we even believe that they left something like this to future generations? “You’d say he’s a bluff emperor, right?”
