“You did a pretty good job.”
“It’s nothing special. I just helped the Pope a little bit.”
“You’ve gotten a lot of compliments for something like that. Hmm, and something has changed in that short period of time.”
“I tried quite hard to cure the disease.”
The emperor looked at Ethan with intense eyes.
There was no need to hide it. Like Ethan’s eyes, the Emperor’s eyes also saw through everything. There was no point in hiding it anyway, so Ethan revealed everything he had.
-You have achieved the achievement!
-[Second Audience] You have earned likes by completing achievements!
– You have received ‘4’ likes!
It is difficult to meet the emperor even once.
I met that emperor twice.
‘The more I meet the emperor, the better.’
“Hmm, well, that’s another story. I let it slide even though it came to my ears. Matters between subjects should be handled by the subjects themselves. I can’t mediate. However, excessive is not good. The Twelve Constellations are pillars. Whether good or evil, they are pillars that support our empire. Even if one pillar collapses, the castle may not collapse, but the aftereffects could cause cracks in several places.”
“I apologize for the inconvenience. I will make sure that you do not have to worry. A new pillar will be built in place of the old one. It will be much stronger than the old one, so Your Majesty will be satisfied.”
As Ethan smiled confidently, the Emperor also smiled heartily in return.
“I really like your spirit. I guess that sense of annihilation within you played a big part. I can understand why Evangeline asked me to look after you.”
‘Normally, I’m not the type of person who can see you just because you want to.’
To be honest, Ethan was a little surprised.
‘I didn’t think it would work out right away.’
It seemed like it was all thanks to Evangeline.
“So, what do you want to tell Jim?”
“We have discovered a definitive cure for extinction disease.”
“I see you heard from the Pope. Do you know where the saint is?”
“Yes, I don’t think that simply meeting the saintess will solve the problem. As I have come to understand more deeply about extinction disease, I have come to the conclusion that I can borrow the saintess’s power.”
The emperor seemed to already know what Ethan was going to say.
“No way.”
That’s why I cut Ethan off before he could even speak properly.
“But there is a way.”
Ethan also knew how to get in officially.
‘I was hoping you wouldn’t just let me go. As expected, you’re a very discerning person.’
“Of course, you can go to the Magic Empire only if you have my permission. However, this permission is not something that can be given to just anyone. Do you understand? After my permission, you will need the permission of the Magic Empire. You have built a great reputation, but that reputation has no end. The Magic Empire will take issue with that, and they will definitely not let you through.”
Ethan realized what the Emperor meant by the period.
“If I become a master, will you allow me to do so?”
“The youngest Master of the Holy Empire. If Master Legia approves and I allow it, who can stand in the way? The Magic Empire will let you pass as is. They will even issue you a permit. In fact, they might try to tie you up in the Magic Empire.”
The emperor smiled with the corners of his lips raised.
“Can you do it? I see that you won’t die before becoming the youngest Master.”
“Thank you for your permission.”
“You talk as if you’re already a master.”
“Because I have to live. Not becoming a Master is not in my plans.”
If you don’t become a master, you die. Ethan finished his audience with the emperor with a smile.
* * *
‘I guess I’ll have to go back to the academy.’
You must return to Ibeka and complete the second semester perfectly to become the youngest Master.
‘It looks like the saint will be in the Magic Empire for quite some time. There’s no reason for the saint to go somewhere else in the meantime.’
The Pope said that the saint went to the Magic Empire with a purpose.
“I’m quite happy to see the students after such a long time.”
It wasn’t just the students who had grown during the vacation. Ethan had also become completely strong enough to implement all the teaching methods he had in mind.
Because I acquired various abilities along with my awakening, I was able to educate students in various ways.
“I need to treat him properly… … No, I need to educate him.”
* * *
“Is that true?”
The place Willas found was another Twelve Star House.
Although I had been treated coldly by the two families I had visited before, I was certain that that would never happen here.
Because there was that much reliable information.
“That’s right. This is revenge. Revenge by Hecate’s granddaughter against Ethan Wickers. If you stay still, it will happen to you.”
“Huh, then this time Marquis Yusta also passed away… … .”
“Revenge. It must have been the beginning of revenge. Starting with our closest Marquisate of Dren.”
“… … .”
The Marquisate of Ekis.
It was Marquis Ekis who joined hands with Justa Drenne and planned and moved the plot to assassinate Hecate.
The Marquis of Ekis had received many benefits in return for helping the Marquis of Justa Drenne.
Thanks to that, we were able to avoid a very difficult situation at the time, and now we have become a family that is completely worthy of the Twelve Stars.
“Do you think this is just speculation? Or are you confident that even a local noble like Wickus could easily stop you from taking revenge?”
Willas said.
“Do you think it happened because Yusta let his guard down?”
“That’s not true.
“It seems like you’re not judging the situation properly. He’s trying to take us down one by one. If you stay still here, you might die sooner than me.”
“… … Are you really saying you know everything?”
Marquis Ekis said with an uncomfortable expression on his face.
“I admit that Ethan Wickus is a great man, as you said. But how could he come to our Ekis Marquisate and kill me? The only way to kill me is through war. Wickus’s forces are nothing compared to our Ekis.”
Besides, Marquis Ekis had no reason to feud with Whikus in the first place.
Since I don’t plan on making a pretext in the first place, I’m confident that Ethan Wickers will attack me in any way he wants.
“It’s going round and round.”
I never thought Marquis Ekis could be this stupid.
No, it’s not stupid.
“… … Did you lead the situation to become like this?”
Willas sighed.
“Elder.”
“What happened?”
“That’s… … The high-ranking nobles say they can’t help you because it would make things uncomfortable.”
“Things are getting uncomfortable? What do you mean?”
“Ethan Wickers is in business. He makes and sells special golems, and it is said that these special golems have already been distributed to all the high-ranking nobles.”
“What kind of special golem is it that refuses my request?”
Even though Willas had been retired for quite some time, I thought his status would still be intact.
Because he has been the head of the Dren family for a long time and has certainly expanded his influence.
Also, the high-ranking nobles will probably have a rough idea of what’s going on.
With Justa Drenne dead and Willas back, it must have been obvious that all of the Marquis’ power had returned to Willas.
“They said it was absolutely necessary for their children’s education. They had to purchase special golems and constantly repair and upgrade them… … They said that if we become uncomfortable with each other right away, they wouldn’t be able to manage the special golems, so they couldn’t help us.”
“her.”
Willas sighed.
The high-ranking nobles certainly weighed the pros and cons.
And this was the result. I wouldn’t stick with Ethan Wickers, but I wouldn’t stick with the Dren family either.
Willas was busy after that. He went around looking for help to push back the power of Princess Evangeline and the Pope behind Ethan even a little.
But there was no significant income.
Even though the heads of the twelve constellations took direct action, no cooperation was obtained.
Willas clicked his tongue.
In this case, the Marquis’ power alone would have to counter the power of Princess Evangeline and the Pope.
If not, there was no choice but to try one more secret night like Yusta had done.
“Let’s go back first. If we rush to deal with someone who is fully prepared and then attacks, we’ll only end up suffering losses.”
“Yes, sir.”
Willas was eventually forced to return to the Marquisate of Drenne with his men.
Late at night.
Just before arriving, one of the last vassals looked back with a frown.
“What’s going on?”
“Something is strange.”
“Strange? Hmm.”
At the mention of something strange, a vassal who appeared to be of a higher rank than the one at the back moved to the back.
“… … .”
And at the same time, I opened my eyes wide while concentrating on the sensation.
“no way.”
He has been with Willas for a long time.
This means that Willas’ trust in him is so strong, and in the past, when Justa asked Willas for an important favor, he also supported him.
When the great magician Hecate was driven to the continent and killed.
He was also there.
“Tell the elders immediately. That guy, the one who inherited his legacy has just appeared… … Keuk!”
“!”
A sudden flaming arrow flew in and pierced his neck accurately.
The knight standing next to him was shocked by the sight.
“What, what is this?”
“Hurry up… … .”
He ordered that the Marquis of Willas be notified quickly, even though his neck was pierced.
But it was already too late.
Because something was walking behind me.
“You’ve been stirring things up quite a bit, but your troops are few. It seems like no one helped you. You once acted like you had the world under your control as the head of the Twelve Stars, but in the end, when it mattered most, no one helped you. How ironic.”
Thud-. Thud-.
“you you…….”
The sight was quite familiar.
The knight shouted, clutching his neck.
But there was nothing he could do.
As a commotion arose behind them, a report came to Willas.
“Elder!”
“What’s the fuss?”
“This is an attack! We will take care of you, sir!”
“Raid? By whom? Whose raid is this?”
Willas, enraged, drew his sword from his waist. Despite his age, Willas was still a well-sharpened sword.
Since I was already angry because of the previous events, I planned to kill the attacker myself.
“Get out of the way. I’ll cut you down!”
“Oh, no. It’s dangerous, sir!”
“Who are the attackers that I am in danger of? Are you saying that a hundred thousand troops have come to kill me?”
at that time.
A shadow rose across the dark night sky.
“At that time, I had no strength, so I just ran away.”
An attacker in the night sky, a huge fireball formed above Yeerika’s head.
“Not anymore.”
