Chapter 125
The illusion was shattered like a midsummer night’s dream.
The remains of the first emperor were seen with his chin still intact.
Ruid lowered his head while holding his head.
My head was confused.
-Please destroy the empire.
A voice that still sounds vivid.
Ruid closed his eyes tightly. The aftereffects of the 5th magic fell entirely upon him.
The caster of the 5th spell is not Ruid. All of this was Delrin’s magic. Above all, it borrows the magical power of the heart of the ‘Blue Dragon’.
Delrin’s earnestness remains in my heart. Ruid instinctively knew. It will take a very long time to shake off this lingering feeling.
‘How dare that scum.’
Even minus the magic aftereffects – pity for Delrin. Disgust toward the first emperor rose.
It was a feeling close to instinct. The influence of ‘ancestors’ on ‘descendants’ was greater than expected.
Ruid began speaking somewhat incoherently.
“…If you were Irene, you would have destroyed the empire without hesitation, right?”
“I guess so. That child would definitely like it. “I have a good cause.”
Victoria thought for a moment and nodded.
“You must have arrived at the island by now riding a wyvern.”
“Sister Amelia will be against it.”
“okay. Because Amelia is a good girl. “So, how about Louis?”
“I…”
It is not difficult to make Delrin’s wish come true.
As she said, there is enough power. There is no need to attack directly, and if the northern defense line is opened, the empire will self-destruct.
But…
‘People are not guilty of anything now.’
If someone were to ask that you deserve to die because of the sins of your ancestors, Ruid would feel unfair.
Because there is nothing wrong with you. It was the same. The current emperor, Lucius, did nothing, although he did plot some unpleasant things.
Ruid, who had been silent for a while, asked in a trembling voice.
“I do not know. “What should I do?”
Then, Victoria spoke.
“Louis, look at me.”
Only then did Ruid raise his head.
Victoria was holding both of her hands and making eye contact.
Her blue eyes were unwavering, unwavering.
“There is no reason for you to choose.”
“….”
“You are not yet old enough to take responsibility for something.”
Victoria patted Luid with a smile and stood up.
Ruid looked up at Victoria. It looked unusually big.
“Don’t worry too much. Louis just needs to stay like this.”
To be honest, my desire to do so was like a chimney.
‘…It’s not a problem that can be solved by leaving it to someone like it is now.’
I am also confident that I can use the 5th magic.
Only she knows the future, which neither Victoria nor Irene know.
Who can I postpone this to?
Luid had no sense of responsibility, but this time it was different.
‘I have to choose.’
“if.”

Ruid took a deep breath and asked seriously.
“What will we do if Archmage Delrin appears as our enemy?”
“huh?”
“…What do you think we will do if Delrin comes back alive and turns out to be our enemy?”
“If you don’t tell me exactly, I can’t give you a proper answer.”
Ruid hesitated for a moment and then said ‘certain information.’
“Something like a warlock resurrecting Delrin.”
“That is definitely a difficult problem. Louis. but.”
Victoria approached the emperor without hesitation. He closed his left hand and stretched out his hand towards the emperor.
bang!
The sound of an explosion was heard and the emperor’s remains were shattered into pieces.
“…!”
Ruid opened his eyes wide.
Victoria looked at Ruid and said coldly.
“There is only one way of behavior that Windsor must adhere to.”
It was a cold appearance that Ruid had never seen before.
“We live only for ourselves. Justice, cause, cause. “Windsor has no such noble duties.”
Victoria didn’t say anything, but it seemed as if she was saying this.
Was this a sufficient answer?
**
I came out of the grave and walked hand in hand with Victoria.
A barracks with a fire was visible amidst the snowstorm.
‘It’s not an issue to judge easily. First of all, it’s important to watch. … Let’s act like we normally do.’
Ruid postponed his choice.
However, the procrastination was not because of laziness or bother like before.
There is something to see.
How far did the episodes of the original novel progress?
In particular, we must understand how far the warlock’s movements have progressed.
You can’t make a hasty decision without seeing that.
first of all.
“…mama. Please keep it a secret from Irene. And, I want you to leave this matter to me.”
Be careful with Irene, who is the most dangerous person in this job.
Irene was very quick-witted, so I had to be especially careful.
“Sure.”
Victoria nodded with an indifferent expression.
It was very reassuring.
‘Now that I think about it…’
I remembered that I didn’t ask the most important thing.
“…What do you think, Mama?”
“huh?”
“I don’t think I actually know what Mama thinks. As the Duke of Windsor, what do you think? “This incident.”
Victoria said, looking straight ahead.
“If Delrin is truly our ancestor, it is natural to avenge the grudge that has been passed down for generations. “Our strength and life in the North were built thanks to our ancestors.”
Victoria spoke kindly to the surprised Ruid.
“But this is only my opinion as the Duke of Windsor.”
Victoria removed the hair from Ruid’s cheek.
“As a parent of a child, I don’t really want to make a choice. “War is crueler than you think.”
Ruid spoke in a low voice.
“There is no need for you to go against your duties as the Duke of Windsor because of me.”
Victoria said playfully.
“Getting rid of the empire is not something that must be done. “I sometimes seem to forget, but the Duke of Windsor is also an aristocrat of the empire.”
“Well, that’s the case.”
“In other words, it’s half and half, Louis. Neither one can be said to be best. By the way, you didn’t actually answer the question.”
Arrived at the barracks. I saw a knight running. Victoria patted Ruid and smiled softly, reassuring him.
“I just hope our Louis lives a happier life. “This is my opinion.”
Ruid suddenly had this thought.
‘Why does Victoria care about me so much?’
It was completely different from the way Irene and Amelia were treated.
Judging by the memories of ‘Lazy Ruid’, it was the same. Victoria has been extremely devoted to Lloyd since he was first born.
Just thinking, ‘Because that’s the setting of the novel…’
‘I don’t know anything yet. ‘This world.’
Didn’t you know that the power of the House of Windsor came from the ‘Blue Dragon’ and ‘Delrin’?
“Huh, huh. Vicky! “Did you successfully complete your mission?”
Vincent asked with a stiff posture after covering a long distance in one go.
“okay.”
When Victoria responded indifferently, she spoke quickly.
“There is an emergency, so I will report to you urgently!”
“Speak.”
“…Academy student. “Sophia Queensberry.”
Gulp, Vincent swallowed and spoke nervously.
“He died.”
**
“Hey~ I got hit this time.”
Garrison of the 1st Imperial Knights of the Empire.
In the office of Chiron de Heaven, the head of the Imperial Knights, Lilith, wearing somewhat revealing clothing, spoke chattily.
“Oh my god, no matter how different my body was, I couldn’t even resist the slightest?”
“Lilith.”
Chiron said in a sharp voice as he scanned the documents.
“Keep your voice down. “This is the inside of the empire.”
“Hmm. yes. “A noble knight commander who called a prostitute in broad daylight.”
As Lilith spoke sarcastically, Chiron’s eyebrows twitched.
“Isn’t it inevitable? With the banquet hall incident last time, we managed to create a hole through which a warlock could enter – but even excluding the barrier, it is difficult to breach the imperial security.”
“I know even if you don’t say it specifically. But you know, I’ve been curious about Chiron for a while. “How are you not affected by the warlock’s barrier?”
No matter how long I waited, Chiron did not respond.
I just stared at the documents. Lilith clicked her tongue.
“A boring man who still has a lot of secrets.”
He raised his head.
“It’s quite unexpected. “I would have thought that you, the greatest of the Seven Deadly Sins, would be caught so soon after starting your mission.”
It was surprising that they tried to change the topic so openly.
But Chiron is always like this. Lilith had no choice but to match the rhythm.
“I couldn’t help it. “Because it was worth it.”
Chiron nodded slowly.
“Of course, you are right. It was something that had to be done no matter what the risk. Is it really true? “I found the tomb of the first emperor.”
Lilith said seriously.
“It’s an obvious fact. “I’m sure it’s because I saw it with my own eyes.”
“…is it.”
Chiron’s eyebrows twitched.
“Even if I rip you to death-”
“If you’re going to talk about the same old cliches you always say, am I just going to leave?”
Lilith yawned and said. Chiron put down his pen and looked at Lilith.
“That’s troublesome.”
Lilith waved her arms left and right.
“Then quickly get to the point. “The secret art of the soul failed, so I’m not in perfect physical condition either.”
“I guess I’ll have to go sometime. Lilith. “You remember the location, right?”
“You better stop.”
Lilith said with a stern face.
“They are absolute monsters. In particular, the Duke of Windsor is ridiculously strong. “That cannot be considered human.”
A moment of cold silence passes.
Chiron nodded in understanding.
“Right. Then I will ask the next question. “Who made you like that?”
“ah. “I didn’t tell you this.”
Lilith excitedly told the story of her death.
“It was a very big fox. Mr. Ruid… big. It’s the little Confucius’ familiar. I thought it was just an ordinary arctic fox, but it wasn’t. It had nine tails and-”
“What?”
Chiron’s eyes trembled.
“What did you just say? “Did you say it has nine tails?”
“Uh… But? Is there a problem?”
It is extremely rare for Chiron to show his emotions.
Lilith couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed.
“…That traitorous bitch was on the move. “When on earth was Lark’s seal released?”
Chiron’s face was distorted like a piece of paper.
Lilith was curious. She couldn’t help but wonder, so she tried to ask in detail, but couldn’t.
“…!”
For a moment, Chiron’s life force was so dizzying that Lilith’s body trembled.
Lilith’s entire body stiffened. However, it didn’t last long. Chiron gave up his courage and spoke with a calm face.
“I guess I’ll have to change my plan.”
“Gye, are you changing the plan?”
Lilith smiled awkwardly, not wanting to show that she was scared.
“Wasn’t it meant to turn the system into a sea of fire?”
“It was planned, but there was no longer a need for us to come to the forefront.”
“huh?”
“Lilith. It means that the mission you did is enough.”
“What is that… “Is it a sound?”
Lilith’s expression hardened slightly.
“It’s because of me?”
“I’m not reprimanding. “Did you say Sophia?”
Chiron looked at the documents again.
“An academy student lost his life in the north. Besides, Queensberry is a fairly prestigious family. It’s a shame not to use this. “It is a very good cause to incite the aristocracy of this stupid system.”
“…Chiron, you’re smart.”
Lilith spoke as if she had never known anything.
Then, as if she was thinking about something, she quickly got up from her seat.
“Well, something urgent came to mind, so I’ll go first.”
Chiron raised his head to thank Lilith for providing very good information.
But she had already disappeared. After wiggling his eyebrows, Chiron closed the document.
I closed my eyes for a moment and enjoyed the afterglow, then took something out of my pocket.
One of the three holy relics.
Delrin’s tears.
“It’s not long until I meet you.”
Chiron muttered as he carefully brushed aside the small crystal.
“Our master. “The source of all magic. The beginning of black magic.”
He smiled with joy.
“The great archmage, Delrin.”
