Chapter 489 – 40. The Empire of Dezac – The Darkness Permeates the Empire (1)

[The Empire of Dezac – The Darkness Permeating the Empire]

“I will be back.”

With a greeting promising a reunion, he kissed the two pairs of mother and daughter.

It didn’t relieve the heavy atmosphere, but at least I was relieved.

They are not Valdez.

There was an anxiety that women who could not accompany Valdes had in common.

Don’t worry about getting hurt

After all, he was the one with unbelievable strength, capable of competing with dragons only in terms of force. If he were to get hurt, his identity would be revealed and he would be caught in a trap and the whole situation would be on the verge of ending.

What I’m really worried about is that he’s overdoing it.

He was concerned about suffering mentally, not physically.

“Do not work too hard.”

At Queen Beatrice’s words, Valdez smiled and nodded his head.

“I don’t do it. It used to be, and it still is, I do as much as I can.”

“Whoops. Yes, I understand.”

“You guys should be careful. Especially the two mothers.”

“Sure.”

“We are no longer single.”

“Yes. It is.”

“And Bald is not alone.”

Valdes laughed lightly at their pun.

Beatrice and Serenia, who were originally strong, but became stronger in many ways as they became mothers.

It’s new, but there’s no need to worry about the two.

It is because they are scheduled to be only in Ulstro, and cannot be easily touched not only in their own country but also in other countries. Even if there is a problem, there can be no damage to both of them. So I was more worried about the other people than the two of them.

Like two princesses or Ethylene.

Mercedes takes a step closer to him and kisses him on the cheek.

“Look there, side.”

“Are you planning on coming?”

“Isn’t it okay for a while? There’s a justification at the right time.”

“…”

“Maybe we can help. Hehe.”

“…Okay.”

I don’t think Mercedes will give up just because she it’s blocked.

And as she said, the visit of the princess in a few months might be the number of conversion.

In the end, everything was known only when the time came.

Valdez continued to say goodbye to each and every one of them with time and effort.

For this reason, we met earlier than the departure time, so we had enough time.

After sharing a hug with everyone, Valdes was able to leave.

“Whoa.”

“Puhuhhh.”

“…?”

A strange laugh from the side of him turned his head.

Kang Yu-ri, who noticed her gaze at her, covered her mouth and smiled.

“What.”

“No, just because it’s cute.Hehe.”

“…”

Valdez, who had been staring blankly at her, looked away from her with a groan.

If you fight now, you will definitely lose.

It’s not that I’m particularly old, but when I break up with women for a while, I become more sensitive.

When I went downstairs, unlike Yuri, I saw the remaining three people waiting in the royal castle lobby.

Fiora. Sasha. And to Vilma.

Now, only five warriors remain.

However, the body and mind were united to the extent that it was incomparable to the seven days, and the purpose was the same. That the purpose was created by one person is a bit problematic, but no one can point it out.

Valdes looked around at everyone, including the hero, and opened his mouth.

“Then shall we depart?”

“Yes!”

The warrior party left the capital at dawn before sunrise.

Still, since the departure date was roughly known, there were quite a few people who came to meet us even early in the day.

Not just nobles, but commoners too.

Aristocrats could get up messily with the help of attendants, but commoners woke up earlier than usual even though it was time to go to work, and prepared to meet them. Fiora and Sasha, who knew it especially well, waved their hands eagerly.

“People here really like warriors.”

“Because I have pride.”

“Valdes’ hometown?”

“Exactly, Pedro.”

Hehe. They’re the same person.”

“It’s the same, but it’s different. Yes. Now… It’s different.”

“Hmm…”

Yuri, who did not know much about the hero Pedro, made an expression that he did not understand.

However, it would not be understandable just because he told me, so Valdez held back his words.

And the warrior party left Ulstro’s capital.

The month-long journey to the Dezac Empire was very smooth.

The Kingdom of Ulstro gave consideration to this and that, and perhaps because of the fact that they came to the island, the same was true after stepping on the territory of the Empire. Unlike before, there is nothing special to do on the way.

There is no warrior Kang Jin-hyeok who became close as they became close and contributed to their hardships, and there was no attack by the Chimera monster. The former is natural, and the latter is officially said to have subjugated all those who were in the three-pronged alliance.

That is, there is nothing to worry about.

Since even the imperial family is quiet and there are no accidents, her journey is bound to be smooth.

As a result, the warrior party arrived at the system without any incident.

Huge walls reaching tens of meters.

As they crossed the main gate, they were greeted with tremendous cheers and crowds.

────!!!

“…… ? What is this?”

“Noisy…”

“It’s no joke.”

“Haha…”

This is more than in Ulstro Kingdom or Castle Kingdom.

However, this was not simply due to envy or respect for the warrior party.

Vilma was the first to realize this.

‘There are a lot of people. However, there are people who have strange expressions in between. There were a strange number of soldiers whose purpose was to maintain order. It’s not the guards.’

Vilma’s expression her gradually hardens.

Then Valdez tapped her on the side of her.

“Expression.”

“Ugh. But…”

“I know. Half of them must have been forcibly mobilized.”

“…”

“You know the emperor’s personality. He’s doing this shit to raise the status of the empire and the imperial family. So, take care of your expression.”

“…Yes.”

Vilma closed her eyes for a moment, as if surprised by her grand welcome her, then she smiled broadly and waved her hand.

As expected of a princess who grew up in a dangerous imperial family, she is good at acting and managing facial expressions.

Regardless of whether that’s a good thing.

She greets the welcoming crowd by waving her hands together.

I guess it took almost 2 hours.

The islands were particularly large compared to other countries’ capitals and cities, and it took a particularly long time to reach the entrance of the imperial castle. Thanks to that, she was exhausted even before meeting the emperor, but she couldn’t help but meet right away.

Thanks to this, the party of warriors leads the weary body to Daejeon.

And the expected uproar ensued.

“Huh? Wait. Why is that person over there…”

“Why?”

“The long-haired woman with the warrior party over there.”

“Ah. Miss Vilma, the black magician of the warriors’ party.”

“Yes? Ms. Vilma the Warlock? No, no matter who sees that person…”

Twin warriors whose faces are widely known through magic and official letters.

But the rest are known only by name or outline, but not by face.

Especially in the case of Vilma, she always wears a robe and stands one step behind her.

Because of this, the identity of the black magician Vilma that everyone did not expect.

It was on the verge of becoming known in the Dezac Empire.

“How do you feel?”

“Yes?”

“Feeling like a main character in a party of warriors.”

“… Not really. Not good.”

If the interest around me was good, I wouldn’t have run away.

Instead, I would have worked harder to raise the level of magic.

In the midst of the surroundings, I finally met the emperor.

“Raise your head.”

“His Majesty the Emperor says raise your head!”

The minister next to the emperor, who is not sure why, raises his head again after he speaks.

“…”

The emperor paid attention to only one of the five warriors in the party.

Black Mage Vilma.

“Who are you.”

The Emperor asked Vilma.

“The warlock of the warrior’s party. And.”

The magic in Vilma’s hair is slowly dissolving.

The shining blonde hem her was dyed blue, and the eyes of those who doubted or did not believe were wide. Some of them rubbed their eyes and checked again, and some of the members of the royal family who were present jumped up from their seats.

“I am Wilhelmina Dezac, the first princess of the Dezac Empire. Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“… Yes. I don’t think running away will happen.”

“Now I am the 1st princess, but at the same time I am the wizard of the warriors party.”

“Okay. Do as you please.”

The emperor nodded his head with a benevolent expression.

That it’s all acting is a fact everyone knows except for a few.

But nobody could say anything.

Because he was an emperor, a despot.

The emperor instantly calmed down the sullen atmosphere.

It was enough to simply lift his hand slightly. Well, if it wasn’t quiet, there were frequent cases where the inspection department suddenly came one day, or accidents broke out in the estate or at home. Unless he’s an idiot, he has no choice but to learn.

“The atmosphere isn’t right for a serious talk. Let’s postpone the matter of support until later.”

An emperor who does not promise support even with empty words.

Even though he met with the warrior’s party and his first daughter who had run away from home, he talked about it as if it was nothing special.

Then Yuri Kang raised his hand.

“I have a request for you, Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Hero. It’s stern. His Majesty hasn’t even allowed me to speak yet, so how can I…”

“Stop. Yes. Say a favor, hero.”

The emperor looks at Kang Yu-ri with eyes full of annoyance.

However, at Yuri’s words that followed, his eyes widened.

“Do you want me to enter the academy?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Hmm.”

“Because of the work in the Three-Earth Alliance, we still felt the need to grow further. And if it’s the Imperial Academy, where the continent’s leading professors and instructors gather…”

“It’s suitable for growing strength, is that what you mean?”

“Yes, it is.”

The emperor, who hadn’t had much interest in the warrior’s party so far, was intrigued.

The Imperial Academy. He briefly thought of it as a means of attracting a party of warriors, but he didn’t know that he would ask for it first. The status of the Imperial Academy is higher than before, but it’s not enough to ask for it first.

‘Is there an intention?’

Looking at the face of the warrior party, it was not an impromptu action.

He nodded his head in thought.

“Okay. But the academy is currently on vacation. It won’t start until 15 days later, and I’ll have to complete at least one semester. Is that possible?”

“Yes. Of course.”

Yuri Kang and Valdes laughed.

The first button is sewn very well.
