472 Chapter 455: The Second Princess

Central Empire.

A medium-sized city close to the Imperial Capital, Ricks.

A huge museum there.

Obviously bigger than the lord's mansion, it belonged to the Empire's oldest aristocrat, the Duke of Altenburg.

Eric was in the room.

But that wasn't Eric's room.

The room, which had nothing to waste, was terribly modest for a large aristocrat's room.

There are few decorative decorations, and only decorated flowers decorate the room.

But that's good.

Because the owner of the room had the sensibility to enjoy it.

The master of the room is a woman.

With clear light blue hair and homogeneous eyes.

She was a gentle woman with a calm atmosphere.

"You're busy with politics, so you don't have to bother showing your face, Eric."

"That's not how it works.I have to show my wife my face as a husband. "

That said, Erik smiled gently and cut fruit and served it to the woman who was sleeping in bed.

There are only two people in the room.

The usual caregiver was lowering it.

Erik's intentions.

The woman's name is Leia Lakes Ardler.

As the Second Princess, she was supposed to be in the castle.

Leia is Eric's wife of the same age.She is also the daughter of the Altenburg family and is familiar to Erik.

Once an active woman waving around shy Erik, she is now sick and being treated here.

"Hey, Erik, I'm feeling better today.May I hit the wind? "

If that's what you want.

That's how Erik helps Leia and takes her to the veranda.

Erik distorts his face in thin hands.

The cause of Leia's disease is unknown.

An unusual disease that even the most prestigious physicians on the continent do not know how to treat.

Leia, who once said that she would hold the sword and become an adventurer, was weakening.

When I was a kid, Leia, who pulled Eric, was nowhere to be found.

"Hohohohoho...."

"Let's go back to the room...."

"Just a little more... let me hit the wind..."

"I see....."

At the very least, Eric hugs Ray.

I knew it would be very useless, but I couldn't do nothing.

"Hey... Erik"

What is it?

"I heard Arnold's coming back...."

"Oh, yeah."

"... are you still going to contest the empire with Leonardo?"

Eric doesn't answer Ray's words.

Ray muttered quietly after receiving the silence in the affirmative.

"Wilhelm, Gordon, Zandra are gone... Traugott goes to the clan, Reese goes to the border... the family keeps moving apart... and you keep going...?"

"The empire is inherited by the strong. That's the deal."

"Is that really all? Is that all you've got against your younger brothers...?I don't think so. "

"- I will be Emperor. I've already made up my mind."

"... if it's for me"

"No, I wouldn't do anything sad for you...This is for me.I decided to become an emperor and took that step. I can't stop anymore. "

Ray doesn't see Eric's face.

Because you don't have to look at what you look like.

"Build a good empire. A country where everyone can live in peace with their loved ones."

……

Leia doesn't say anything.

Because I didn't think the world was waiting for Eric's spicy expression.

Back to bed from the veranda, Leia lay down.

Erik came and went too far.

My body became drowsy from exhaustion, and the sleeping demon attacked me.

"Erik... please..."

What's wrong?

"... don't be reckless..."

That's how Leia fell asleep.

Listening to regular sleep, Eric stood up.

I was forced to make time, so I had a lot to do.

Finally, after seeing his wife's face and smiling softly, Eric wore a mask named Ruthless.

It was a convenient mask to hide Eric's weakness.

"Return to the Imperial Capital. When Arnold returns, Leonard moves.This is where we start. "

After giving instructions to the nearest party, Erik headed for the carriage.

The carriage had a visitor.

"Your Highness."

"Arnold, slow down your legs.I'll be ready in the meantime. "

In the carriage was Shaomey, an assassin in maid clothes.

Nod quietly to Eric's instructions.

"You know what? Don't be hard on me.Just slow your feet down. "

"Sincerely,"

"The chances of a return to the kingdom are on the rise.We cannot send Leonardo to a duel with the Kingdom.Tell your mother that too. "

"Do as I say."

That's how Shaomey disappears.

Alone, Erik sighs deeply.

Until now, it had not moved and was in a position to wait.

But we can't just wait until we've narrowed them down.

"Give it up, Leonard, Arnold... I'm not leaving."

Erik stared at the distance, giving advice he could not hear.
