episode_0183

Everything that came out of the emperor’s mouth was unbelievable.

The sword master respected by all knights.

From the fact that Carlchad Bertain resurrected the demon.

The fact that Bertain, the greatest duke in the empire, has survived with the help of the devil.

It all sounded like nonsense.

“Oh my god… .”

“Tsk. He was a dirty guy until the end.”

Lanian and Anne, who had experienced Gernom firsthand, believed it.

“What are you talking about! Duke Carlchad would never do that!”

The knights who respected the Sword Master rebelled.

“Can this dynasty collapse overnight like this?”

“I wonder if His Majesty dislikes me… .”

“You little punk! What if this goes wrong!”

“Ugh.”

The people were suspicious.

Luke chuckled as he looked at the chattering crowd.

It may be hard to believe that this happened overnight.

I woke up and this happened.

But I expected this kind of reaction when the Emperor himself spoke.

Even though the Bertain family usually took good care of their image, this was a bit too much.

“… And there is a hero who defeated this demon.”

The emperor did not care what the crowd was muttering.

He continued speaking without changing his expression.

It has already ruled over humans for hundreds of years.

If it was going to shake to this extent, it wouldn’t have even thought of embracing humanity in the first place.

“I will show you the hero’s performance directly.”

The emperor gestured to Elin.

Now Elin has to go up and cast magic together.

“… My legs won’t move.”

I held Luke’s hand tightly and trembled.

“There are too many people… .”

The reason was the unimaginable number of people who gathered.

Since they are holding a national funeral, all the people of the empire must have gathered.

First of all, everyone who lives in the capital will have attended.

Luke is also dizzy from the crowds.

It was no wonder that Ellen was nervous.

“It’s okay, ball… No. You can do it.”

“… just now.”

“I didn’t say anything until the end.”

“I’ll just look at it once.”

Luke’s slip of the tongue may have eased the tension a little.

Ellen let out a snicker.

side.

Luke kissed Ellen’s cheek.

“Please prove it.”

“Put it in your mouth.”

“I’ll do it for you when you come back after finishing it nicely.”

“… I promised.”

Elin got a Luke booster.

He strode up next to the emperor.

“Who is that person?”

“Isn’t she the youngest princess of the Bertain Duke family?”

“Ber, you’ve grown that much already?”

Those who find out Elin’s true identity.

There were some who didn’t recognize me.

That was understandable.

18 years old.

After stopping the demons that appeared in the capital, I stayed locked up in my mansion and just took care of paperwork.

Few people had ever seen the adult Elin.

“I’ll show you what happened from now on.”

The emperor pointed his finger to the sky.

Phagejik-

A thin golden bolt of lightning pierced the clouds.

Shu-

Let Elin breathe some magic into it.

The clouds are completely dyed golden.

Thump, thump.

Golden energy falling like rain.

Each and every one of them became Leo’s memories and stuck with the crowd.

“This, what is this… .”

“… … !”

The people were speechless.

The battle with Gernom replayed in my head.

It was because my gaze was stolen by the man who was burning himself brilliantly among them.

* * * * *

A capital city steeped in darkness.

A nightmare street that summoned the dimension of Gernom.

Kalchad, who has become half-combined with the devil and has become a horrifying figure.

It doesn’t stop there, it eats its own family members to increase its size.

Luke, Elin, and Leo stand against him.

The focus of the memory was on Leo.

“Ma, that’s ridiculous.”

“Duke Carlchad… ?”

Of course the knights too.

Even the children of famous swordsmen were shocked.

Although it wasn’t to the extent of praising like the knights.

I acknowledged his skills as the best swordsman in the empire.

The sword you see now is nothing more than a grotesque monster mixed with something unclean.

Whether I was shocked or not, the memories continued to flow.

Elin increases the output of mana.

Luke builds a dimension to seal.

Bertain holds Gernom tightly.

Crunch-

Even Leo splits Kalchad and Gernom in half.

-I’m sure I’ll forget this anyway, but I’d appreciate it if you all listened.

I said I would forget everything.

All the people of the empire listened to Leo’s will.

A comfortable expression along with the sincerity conveyed for the first time.

Passus-

The crowd fell silent as they watched Leo disperse.

“This man is Jim’s subordinate and was once the eldest son of the Bertain family… .”

“This, this is a conspiracy!”

The moment the emperor tried to explain calmly.

The rookie knight shouted in a fit of rage.

I already realized it rationally.

Because I directly participated in the reconstruction of the palace.

I even understood that the devil had been resurrected.

but.

My feelings were denied on their own.

I have dreamed of becoming a Sword Master since I was little, watching his exploits.

I can’t believe the person I’ve admired my whole life showed up in such an ugly way.

The goal I had been pursuing until now was completely denied.

“No, at least the Duke is clearly under the control of the devil!”

“… Stop it.”

In the end, he was dragged away with his mouth shut by veteran knights.

They realized it too.

A week ago, when all the people of the empire were in a nightmare.

Who resolved the situation?

How did he save the empire?

The emperor, seeing that everything had become quiet, opened his mouth.

“You all saw it. It wasn’t just the great wizards here who sealed the demons.”

Those who received the memory saw it clearly.

A man with dark purple hair and blue eyes.

A brave hero who brandished a sword that flashed white and set himself on fire.

“Leo. A subordinate of Jim who sacrificed his existence to borrow the power of the dragon and seal the demon together.”

The emperor spoke deliberately without including the surname Bertain.

Because that would no longer be the best duke, it would be the worst insult.

“Dragon, huh? Aren’t they already beings that left the continent?”

An old wizard shouted into the crowd.

In the memories I received, I saw Leo summoning a dragon.

Is that a real dragon?

Otherwise, there was no way to know if it was a unique magic.

The old wizard’s words were also true, except for Boldred, who ruled the empire.

Most people don’t even know that the Emperor is a dragon.

It was natural that I didn’t know what the dragons I had only seen in literature actually looked like.

So I was waiting.

“Most of the time, yes.”

A young voice.

Knock knock knock.

A short girl coming up next to Elin.

A cute appearance that makes you believe she’s your younger sibling.

“That’s why I came in person.”

Bertain in human form stood next to Elin.

“Be, wasn’t the youngest princess of Bertain Elin?”

Once again the crowd was in an uproar.

Clearly, Bertain’s hidden youngest was Elin.

A younger brother who looks just like him has appeared.

Of course, the confusion didn’t last long.

“That’s why I said I’d appear in this form from the beginning… .”

“Then it would have taken years to calm them down.”

“Anyway, can we go back to how it was before?”

Boldred nodded.

“Look carefully, mortals. Who is the dragon you have summoned by sacrificing your own existence?”

Uduk-

There was a sound of Berthain’s shoulders twisting.

Boom.

Cute wings rose.

Ppokdak.

Two small horns also grew from its head.

Are you demonstrating transformation magic?

When your eyes are stolen by her cute appearance.

Woodduck-

In an instant, Berthain’s body grew larger.

A body that grows larger until it fills the stage.

Smooth purple scales.

Clear blue eyes without any trace of tea.

Flutter-

Giant wings that seem to cover the sky.

《Do you believe it now?》

The dragon whose seal Leo broke.

Bertain, who had been sealed hundreds of years ago, appeared before humans.

* * * * *

“… … ”

“… … ”

The crowd was shocked.

Thanks to that, it was easy for Bertain to speak.

“This body is the ancestor of the Bertain family. It is called Dragon Bertain.”

What an awkward self-introduction in front of mortals who won’t even live 100 years anyway.

I wanted to jump down right now.

《… This precious body is here because of the sacrifice of a pitiful descendant. And because of the request of a lovely descendant, so listen carefully.》

I started talking to Elin to keep my promise.

“The second generation of the family sealed this body. By joining hands with that damned demon named Gernom.”

From the time he gave power to the first Bertain family head.

Fighting against demons until the gate to the underworld was closed.

Even being trapped in a cave and just sleeping to kill time until I met Elin and Luke.

Bertain also opened up about his personal life without holding back.

There was no need to record it separately.

There is no scholar who would remain silent when an ancient scholar appears and gives a speech.

Ss …

Scholars across disciplines have taken note of Berthain’s words.

“This body was cursed by the second generation of the wicked family. But that wicked man used the power of the devil to put the curse on the youngest.”

Description of the mana-eating curse.

A curse that grows stronger as it is passed down through generations.

I just gave a brief explanation.

It wasn’t difficult to understand.

It was because all the memories had already been transmitted.

The work of uncovering the dirty side of the Duke’s family continued, sacrificing Elin, Bertain, and Leo’s personal history.

《Leo broke the seal on this body in exchange for disappearing from all dimensions. That means he sacrificed his ‘existence’. Do you understand?》

When Bertain finished his story.

Only one fact remained fixed in the crowd’s minds.

The hero who realized the absurdity of his family and sacrificed everything to defeat the demon saved the empire.

“Jim believed that everything this dragon said was true and came to this conclusion.”

Now no one dared interrupt the emperor’s words.

Everyone feels sorry for the hero’s tragic life.

I listened with gratitude for the noble sacrifice.

“The Duke of Bertain, whom Leo had so desperately wanted to end his evil deeds.”

The emperor proclaimed.

“I will strip you of your status, your land, and even the business you were running.”

This is the day when Rosaleo’s dream comes true.

It was the day of Bertha’s downfall.
