Chapter 4 – Preparations for the Return of the Fallen Aristocrat Mary

If there was no dishonest method, Count Ruani’s forces should not have been pushed back by those of Marquis Akan.

However, the Marquis of Akan, who managed the vast granary in the southern part of the empire, was able to accumulate great wealth even with minor book changes.

Sadly, the soldiers of Count Ruani couldn’t handle the soldiers of Marquis Akan who were pushing with numbers.

“Princess. But what’s going on in the imperial palace all of a sudden?”

Heman, who had silently followed behind me as I drove the horse thinking about the unnecessary setting due to writer’s disease, spoke up.

Unlike Hai Dean, who has a pleasant personality and talks a lot, Heman is quiet, but he has a troublesome personality that he must solve when he has a question.

`Ah… Wrong setting. I got writer’s disease, so I put in all the detailed settings for no reason.’

Heman’s face was full of doubt as he glanced back, and he hid the story of Mary while he spoke of his plans in a situation that would have made him tired.

“I will suggest to Haru Kang that we liquidate the corrupt nobles.”

“If that happens… There could be great chaos in the Empire.”

“Even if a dungeon is created on the continent, it can’t be helped that not one or two corrupt nobles become confused.”

There was no statute of limitations on the continent of Arkansas in [The Battle of 6 Heroes], Which I made, and if a crime committed even once in my life was revealed, I had to be punished.

The Marquis of Akan wasn’t the type to commit corruption only in the Luani county battle, so dealing with him was easier than expected.

“Please stop. If you don’t mind, could you take off your robe?”

In order to avoid the dust that would be covered when riding a horse, the knights in the outer robes stood in front for identification reasons.

Still, the knights who inferred that the opponent was a nobleman by looking at the condition of the well-managed horse showed a respectful attitude.

“Is this enough?”

“I checked the official badge of the Grand Duchess of Demicher. Welcome to the Grand Duchess of Winter Demicher.”

He handed over a badge with the pattern of the grand duke’s family and lifted the robe he was wearing to show his face, and the knights recognized his identity at a glance.

However, seeing that he calmly responded without showing any signs of surprise, it seemed that he had set his world view well.

“I received a message that the Grand Duke will be visiting today. If you go in, a vassal in the palace will guide you.”

“Thank you for letting me know, and I’d like to hear from you.”

“Yes! I’m in charge!”

I left the horse to the knight guarding the gate and went in. A young man was standing in front of the door of the building, and he was the person in charge of the imperial palace guide the knight had talked about.

“Meet Archduke Demicher. Would you mind if I guide you from now on?”

“What if you reveal your identity first?”

“I have offended you. I am His Majesty’s third personal secretary.”

If I had set it up, I would have said the name after the personal assistant, but since there was no name, it was a randomly set person, so I only explained myself as a personal assistant.

If he was young enough to sit in the emperor’s personal secretary’s seat, his ability would be excellent and he wanted to roll like a slave, but unfortunately, a person without a setting window could not change that role.

However, on the other hand, the certainty that existence outside the predictable category did not appear was also reassuring.

“I’m running out of time, so direct me to the drawing room.”

“I will.”

At the gate, the time was delayed more than expected, so I quickly headed to the parlor and took a seat in the parlor by 2:50 as planned.

However, the problem was with the main character, Haru Kang, who was not even seen pecking his nose in the drawing room until after 3:30.

‘It never exceeded my expectations..’

Didn’t think that it would be easy to meet Kang Haru from the beginning, but today he came as the representative of the grand duke’s family.

It wouldn’t have been a problem if he had come to Manna as a party colleague, but there was room for interpretation that Haru Kang not appearing now meant that he was ignoring the Grand Duchess.

“Then, rather, this situation becomes an opportunity.”

The original plan was to meet with Haru Kang and liquidate the corrupt nobles and restore the nobles who were ruined by them, but it was better to talk to the current emperor about that.

The plan to see the face of the main character, Haru Kang, as well as the plan to change the water of the aristocratic Sheryak was neatly abandoned.

“I’m sorry. Brother! Yuna told me not to go at all, so I’m a little late!”

About 10 minutes after the plan was revised, the drawing room door finally opened and Kang Haru, the main character of [6 Heroes], Appeared.

Haru Kang, who was summoned to the Arkan continent at the age of 19, met Wonter and treated him friendly, treating him like a brother.

To such Kang Haru, Winter played the role of a reliable older brother by teaching him how to hunt and even giving dating advice.

“Haru, let’s talk later.”

Of course, that was the story of Winter written in the novel, and there was no reason for me to be kind to Haru Kang.

Still, if her relationship with Haru Kang deteriorated, she might get suspicious, so I had to end it without crossing her line.

“Brother. What do you mean by that?”

“I came today as the representative of the grand duchy, but I didn’t keep the time, so I said that.”

“That… I’m sorry!

“What is the meaning of the words you say? Today, it is almost past the appointment time, so we will talk again next time and hope that this will not happen then.”

After passing by Haru Kang, who was standing there and making excuses without being able to sit in her seat, I ran out of her room and opened her settings window to see what Haru Kang was thinking.

——————–
– Name: Haru Kang
– Age : 24
– Role: The next emperor of the Arkan continent and the empire, 6 heroes
– Abilities: Aura, Swordsmanship Master, Martial Arts Master, Swordsmanship, Sixth Sense +48
– My heart: Oh, did you come here for nothing? I could have played with Yuna more… Let’s not be late next time.
– Special setting: NTR victim
——————–

`Ah. It’s really like that.`

I cursed at Haru Kang, who showed no sign of remorse, but I was fortunate that I decided not to be late next time and talked to the secretary waiting in front of the door.

“I have something urgent to convey to His Majesty the Emperor, is that possible?”

“I’ll be back in 30 minutes if you’ll wait in His Majesty’s drawing room.”

When the secretary who guided us to the emperor’s living room disappeared, Heidin and Heman, who were very angry after witnessing Haru Kang’s behavior while waiting behind me, opened their mouths.

“Haha!! It’s not something to laugh at, but heman! Don’t you keep laughing?”

“I didn’t know that Sir Haru Kang, who is called a warrior, could be so rude.”

Even if Heidin and Heman tried to manage their facial expressions as much as possible, the spirit they were exuding was quite heavy, probably because they were knights in the ranks of the strongest in the empire.

“Don’t be angry about anything, just remember that this is the Emperor’s Palace.”

“Your Majesty will understand.”

“Um… Is that so?”

“Of course it is!!”

There was a risk of being suspected of treason if strong energy flowed in the imperial palace, so the energy of Heidin and Heman disappeared neatly.

Heiden and Heman were waiting in the parlor while joking around, and soon after, the secretary opened the door and came in.

“His Majesty has ordered me to come to his office.”

“It won’t be long, so wait in front of the castle gate.”

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

Haidin and Heman left the room and followed the secretary to the emperor’s office, where they saw a huge and ornate door and a group of knights guarding it.

‘I set it up to be quite prudent.’

Haru Kang had defeated all the dungeons, and since the Arkan Empire was the only nation on the Arkan continent, there was no threat to the emperor.

However, seeing the emperor maintaining a strict alert by placing a knights in front of the gate, he could understand his character.

“Winter Demicher asks for an audience with His Majesty the Emperor.”

– You may come in.

After talking directly with the emperor through a special magic device on the door, he opened the door and there was the emperor sitting behind an ornate desk and looking at him.

I felt the energy of a lion from the emperor, who was looking at me eagerly, even though he was now beyond middle age and entering old age.

——————–
– Name: Galtus Arkhan
– Age : 58
– Role: Emperor of the Arkan Continent and Empire
– Abilities: Advanced Swordsmanship, Advanced Martial Arts, Negotiation Master, Domestic Affairs Master, Charisma +26
– In my mind: If it wasn’t for my daughter, I’d take that guy in the winter…
– Special setting: Idiot
——————–

Carltus, who unified the continent in just 5 years at the age of 18, has excellent swordsmanship and martial arts skills, even though he did not become a master.

Galtus, who has everything by mastering negotiations and internal affairs, even though he lacks magic power, was set up as a person who couldn’t move with the princess he acquired at a late age due to the [Daughter] Attribute.

The princess was one of the six heroes, and there was a setting that she would fall in love with Haru Kang and make him emperor, so against the emperor’s will, Winter could not become a lover with the princess.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone like this. Your Majesty, Emperor Caltus.”

“Ha ha! Isn’t it too informal to call you by name right away when there are only two left?”

“Your Majesty the Emperor told me to act like this in the first place.”

“Yes, yes. I enjoy talking to you. So what are you here for?”

The Emperor knew all too well what I wanted, and he always wanted me to ask for my purpose right away, without measuring.

“It is necessary to liquidate the corrupt nobles and restore the fallen nobles before the emperor’s delegation.”

“I’m aware of that too, but it was a little annoying to actually do it, so I left it alone.”

“That’s why I’m telling you to do it for me.”

However, the lazy emperor knew what he had to do but ignored it, and when it was time for the emperor or the grand duke to step down, everything seemed to be a nuisance.

“Can it be done in a few days? Still, I need to add one of my achievements before I retire.”

“It can be done within a week.”

Kaltu, who laughed at the absurd amount of time, said he would spare no support if he could.

Even in the medieval aristocratic culture, you, who knew the list of corrupt aristocrats, the contents and methods of corruption, were not rough when you had an emperor’s backing.

“Mary, who has become a noble, is rather precious, so there is no time for delay.”

Making Mary her aristocrat meant more than acquiring an aristocratic slave, and as a partner she would attend various banquets and state events, Mary was a very appropriate person.

If she accompanied Mary, she could avoid the troublesome marriage conversation, and the wise and sober Mary could be my eyes and ears at the banquet hall.
