by fnovelpiaThe night Geoff’s academic festival ended. A mansion located in the capital was filled with loud noises.
Wow! All the items on the desk were swept down and various items were broken and lying around on the floor.
“···!.”
The man who had made a mess of his room took off the tie he was wearing and threw it away. Shiny jade-colored hair. It was Faust.
“Damn, damn!”
Clearly, everything was going smoothly as planned. The goal of reclaiming the land beyond the Wall was engraved in the minds of the audience, and Revan’s showcase was perfect. however-
“Because of that senile old man!”
Hendricks. Things got messy because of that old man.
Faust’s goal was to show everyone that Revan would become a noble hero of the Empire. It was successful until he actually beat the demon beast and told him the story of not being able to take off his gas mask.
However, the Sword Saint appeared. The plan to promote the image of being harmless to humans was disastrously shattered. It was revealed that he could fight on equal footing with the Sword Saint, but there was no way he could create such an image.
Not only that, they also included information about Revan’s origin and strange words. The look Revan gave me was still vivid in my memory.
“Suck!”
Once again, a feeling of intense heat tried to rise through my head. Faust reached out and grabbed something with the intention of throwing it away.
“Ah.”
The moment he was about to throw away something he was holding, Faust felt a familiar touch and lowered his arm. The perfume bottle Revan had given me was in my hand.
“This is not possible… This is not possible.”
chin. Faust carefully returned the perfume bottle in his hand to the desk.
Flap-! Suddenly the curtains hanging on the window fluttered. Crack. Unidentified footsteps entered the room through the window frame.
A situation that could be an attack by a gunman. However, Faust swept his hair back as if he was annoyed.
Eventually, the doll that broke into the room appeared. And then he shouted at Faust.
“What on earth have you created!”
“What?”
“Don’t act like a fool! Isn’t the output of that man named Revan on a different level from the blueprint you sent me?”
Faust read the document without even paying attention to the uninvited guest. As if he had been heated by the sight, a loud sound echoed through the room once again.
“Say it straight, don’t hide it! Arrieta Betzler!”
“···Tsk.”
Sigh! Faust flicked his hand filled with mana.
Sigh. The perception-distorting magic that was requested and received from the Magic Tower in complete secrecy disappeared as if a veil had been lifted. The voice also returned to its original state.
Her hair, which was originally close to reaching her shoulders, became silky and grazed her back, her eyelashes became longer, and her body regained its curves here and there.
“You liked it when you got paid to eat, right? Why are you acting so stubborn now?
The youngest daughter of the Wetzlar family, not the continent’s enigmatic doctor. Arietta appeared.
***
Rono Arena is located in a corner of the empire. There is a reason why Arrieta thought her situation was essentially a homecoming.
Arrieta’s actions in modifying Revan were already known to the Empire’s inspection team. The research institute also provided a blueprint showing restrictions.
Although it has been acknowledged that Revan is not a dangerous research project on the level of Sophia, in normal cases, inspectors would be directly assigned to live there to monitor it.
However, one of the characteristics of civil servants was that they did not like to leave the capital, and even for the average inspection team with strong patriotism, the Lono Arena was too out of the way. It would take a week if I didn’t take the airship.
Arrieta took advantage of the gap and gently placed a gold bar in Tyler’s drawer, which was located in a convenient location at the inspection table, and encouraged him to do so.
-I will continue to post reports, so let’s get along well. Honestly, who wants to rot in Lono for 3-4 years? yes?
She is the daughter of the Wetzlar family, one of the most famous families in the empire. Tyler thought he wouldn’t do anything that would get him dispossessed from the family.
Tyler, who was sorry to leave his green successor in a small town for several years and who also had a tight budget, accepted the offer. Arrieta increased the output of her body strengthening as if the reins had been released, and thanks to this, Revan was born, which shocked the Sword Saint and made the demon beasts fearful.
“Be, how could someone who is the daughter of the Wetzler family commit such forgery…!”
“If you go to Wetzlar and get lost, it’s over. Is it the same whether I die from you or from a crazy person?”
But Tyler didn’t know. Arrieta has the heart of a beast in her heart that will kill her if she doesn’t get it anyway.
And Arrieta’s gamble hit the jackpot. If the inspection was done properly, it created a modified human being whose output would never be tolerated.
“Rather, shouldn’t the empire be grateful to me now? I was hoping that the emperor would at least give me a reward.”
Arrieta smiled crookedly and joked. Tyler trembled when he saw that.
“Dare to deceive the eyes of the empire and yet-”
“Oh my, be scared. So what should I do? Are you going to call the knights and kill Revan?”
Gun gun. Arrieta approached Tyler with light steps, looked into his eyes, and sarcastically said.
“You guys can’t kill Revan anymore. Are you going to go against the emperor’s will?”
“···!”
The current emperor of the empire, who was born as the second son of the imperial family, is young. Although he was not a little kid, he was definitely young for an emperor in his early 20s.
This was due to several twisted circumstances. One day, the late king, who was listening to the sound of the castle, suddenly died. Given his age, this wasn’t a strange thing.
However, the eldest son, who was scheduled to be the next emperor, also suddenly passed away right before the coronation ceremony. Even after a rigorous analysis, no traces of assassination or poisoning were confirmed, but the situation was clearly suspicious.
And that attention was focused on the second son, the current emperor. Although there is no clear evidence, it is inevitable that the feeling of ‘what if…?’ is at the base of the people of the empire.
In this situation, the young emperor remembered something. A powerful achievement that will turn everyone’s attention.
“His Majesty the Emperor is also aiming to regain the land beyond the Wall. Will you really value the speech I gave at this academic festival, or will you be happy about it?”
Surprisingly, subjugation beyond the wall was not a topic on which all citizens of the empire agreed. The public opinion was divided roughly 7:3. Concerns about how many people would die and the national treasury would be depleted were the main reasons for opposition.
If the area beyond the wall cannot be restored, Arrieta’s life is in danger and the emperor’s position is in danger. The academic festival was also a showcase for Levan and a show to change public opinion.
“Did you see the restrictions placed on Revan? It’s not a monster that the Empire can’t handle. The leash is securely fastened. Killing someone in this situation? The emperor would really like it!”
Clap clap! Arrieta clapped her hands loudly and sarcastically said in a mocking tone. Tyler gritted his teeth but couldn’t answer.
The appearance of the senile monster raised some question marks, but no one denied that Revan would be the leader in reclaiming the area beyond the Wall.
Above all, most of the audience were nobles. It was clear that public opinion calling for the return of the polluted land would soon cover the entire empire. Rather, it was a situation that the emperor would be pleased with.
Revan had no clear justification for subjugating him due to the restrictions imposed by Faust. Revan, who could not absorb the magical power of the beast, could easily be subdued like a knight commander eating dessert alone.
The only thing dangerous in this situation was one inspector, whose head was blown off the moment he was caught taking bribes.
“Don’t worry too much. Because I have no intention of snitching on you or anything. What would I have to gain by getting caught with the bribe in the first place?”
Arrieta explained as if she were offering medicine. It was true, but Tyler, furious at being taken advantage of, shouted.
“What is your purpose?”
“What?”
“There would have been an easier way to create an efficient combat weapon, so what was the reason for creating humans?”
ha···. I sighed, shook my head left and right, and turned my back. Arrieta, who arrived at the desk shortly, opened her mouth.
“Well, in a way, we are a community of destiny. I’ll let you know. First, I will send Revan to conquer beyond the Wall. If I just wait a few years, the subjugation will be completed and my contribution will also be recognized.
And I will ask the emperor to become the head of my family. There is no reason for the emperor to refuse. Rather, you’ll think it’s cheap.
Will the old men of the family be able to keep their creed in front of Revan’s Babieka until the end? It’s a good thing if you don’t pee.
Once you become the head of the family, Antonio. You should kill that damn bastard first. If you tell Revan the inside story about Vivian and give it to him, he will be very happy. And I have to make an appointment.”
Wow. Arrieta held in her hand the perfume that Revan had given her on the desk.
“I will spray this perfume when I go to the meeting place. And by solving the distortion spell, I reveal my secret. Ah, I’d rather the place be quiet rather than a place that’s too flashy. Because both Revan and I don’t like noisy places.
Of course Revan will be confused. You must be dizzy now that you heard the truth about Vivian. But who said that? They say that when a man sits down, a gap appears.
There’s no one around Revan anyway, right? I become your only companion. If you become a hero of the empire, no matter what your past, you won’t be caught even if you marry the head of the Wetzlar family.
We will hold the ceremony in the capital’s central cathedral. We exchange words of promise to each other for eternity. It’s a hero’s wedding. Everyone will be blessed. Isn’t that right?”
Arrieta’s words became faster and faster, and there was obvious excitement in her voice. Reddened cheeks and faster breathing proved it.
“Ha!”
Tyler, who cut Arrieta off, opened his mouth. The tone was clearly filled with ridicule.
“Crazy bitch.”
“···What?”
“Is it because you had an unfortunate childhood? The delusion is at a high level. you are crazy That’s not love.”
“I love Revan. Can you please stop slandering me?”
“That’s not love, it’s breeding. She’s a poor woman who can’t love anyone except the bastard on a leash.”
“This-!”
After stabbing Arrieta, whose face was red with anger, Tyler disappeared.
“······.”
Arrieta, who was holding the perfume, just huffed and couldn’t say anything. I just held the perfume bottle in my hand stronger.
***
And the next morning, Revan came to Faust’s mansion in person.
Revan arrived at the mansion and headed straight to Faust’s room. And then I got to the point.
“I think we need to talk.”
It was a chance to truly face Revan, possibly the last.
Faust closed his mouth as if thinking for a moment and then turned to face Revan. It was a solemn look in his eyes after making a choice.
“Good.”
Soon, Faust’s mouth moved.
