When the Emperor saw Cecilia, who did not lose her smile despite her overbearing and destructive sword, he spoke again.

“Are you from the Chiron Empire?”

“Do you think the news is slow? The Chiron Empire is no more. Only our Seirun Empire exists.”

“How dare you…!”

Cecilia chuckled. The emperor’s brow furrowed at the way he spoke, as if he was being treated like a fool, but he continued speaking without paying any attention.

“This is Cecilia Luna Seirun, the empress of the Seirun Empire.”

“……Information leaked. Things have become easier. I can capture you and use you as a hostage.”

It was the emperor who moved first. Contrary to his words, he swung his sword with the intention of splitting Cecilia’s head.

bang!!

The strike struck with both hands produced a sound that shook the heavens and earth.

“Hmm. It’s pretty strong, isn’t it?”

Cecilia kept the same smile as before.

“This can’t be right…”

The emperor’s eyes widened as if torn.

I hit it with all my might. The girl in front of me blocked it by simply raising her sword.

Boom boom boom!

The mana around me fluctuates, and swords continue to collide.

But no matter how many times I swung it, the result was the same.

‘This can’t be happening.’

I have reached the highest level of sword master. To a mere girl.

I felt like the effort I had devoted my entire life to the sword was being denied.

The emperor took a step back and looked at her again.

‘I can’t believe I didn’t have any trouble breathing.’

If the Emperor’s Aura was a burning flame, Cecilia’s Aura was as unwavering as steel forged by a top-notch blacksmith.

The auror, which went from gold to pure white, looked like a pillar of light piercing the sunlight.

‘It’s like looking at a work of art.’

A brief standoff.

“Do you want to surrender? I don’t intend to treat you badly, I just.”

The Emperor rushed in as if to interrupt Cecilia.

Kaang! Kang! Cough!

Cecilia calmly accepted his vicious sword attack.

“You have an impatient temper.”

Seeing her not losing her composure, the emperor opened his mouth again.

“I recently heard that the culture of dating women is popular in the Chiron Empire.”

“That’s right.”

Cecilia nods her head obediently. The emperor smiled wryly at that expression, which even had a faint smile on it.

“The next person who has captured four years is the emperor. It’s the most beautiful in the empire, right? I don’t know if it will be as beautiful as yours.”

It’s a whistle now, but in the next 10 years. No. Even after just one year, it will reach a place beyond your reach. You must kill it right here.

Contrary to his harsh words, the Emperor calmly observed Cecilia’s movements.

“…”

Stop. Cecilia shows signs of agitation for the first time. The emperor smiled in remorse at the change in her previously calm attitude.

“The crime of daring to deceive a woman. The Emperor of the Chiron Empire will especially rape you in front of you.”

The emperor, seeing Cecilia with her head down, raised his sword.

‘It’s a gap.’

“Demon Sword Apophis!”

The pitch-black greatsword began to turn purple. The sinister energy that had seemed like a joke until now seemed as if it would split her head open at any moment.

“This is my strength…”

The emperor could not finish his sentence.

A booming voice and spinning vision.

“This…what…”

Degurrr. Head rolling on the floor. The last thing he saw was Cecilia’s cold, frozen eyes.

A moment of silence.

Soon a scream rang out.

“Heee!”

“Your Majesty…!”

The nobles who could not escape each screamed.

But the fuss was short-lived.

“Huh…!”

The nobles who made eye contact with Cecilia gasped.

Cecilia glanced at them and then turned around.

“…I committed it.”

At that time, footsteps were heard beyond the door.

“Her Majesty, the internal arrangement has been completed.”

The knights reported to her and nodded when they heard that they had subdued all the nobles and knights in the castle.

“Wasn’t this originally a visit for fellowship?”

The driver asked curiously.

“Originally… But there was a tip… Do you want to hear it?”

“Oh, no!”

The knight bowed his head.

Although we stood together on the battlefield, this person is the Empress.

I don’t know if you know what’s going on in that article.

“Then, good luck.”

Cecilia lightly tapped the knight’s shoulder.

“Yes!”

The knights, whose eyes widened at Cecilia’s words, shouted loudly.

They bowed silently until Cecilia was completely far away.

Just like that, after passing through the long corridor, Cecilia, who seemed to be leaving the palace without hesitation, stopped.

Behind the huge pillars that support the building.

“It’s over.”

When Cecilia spoke, her weak voice returned.

“Is that so… It’s over…”

The man with black messy hair and silver horn glasses looked haggard.

“Thanks to you.”

Cecilia smiled. He didn’t look like someone who had just fought a fierce battle.

“Then… the promise is…”

The man swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth.

“In most cases, there will be no interference. Of course, I will also provide assistance.”

“Thank you. Thank you so much.”

The man repeatedly lowered his head.

Although brief, dialogue between countries took place.

“Then now it is a hectare principality…”

“Well, that will happen.”

The future of the Hectare Empire and the Seyrun Empire.

Formally, the Hektar Empire becomes a vassal state of the Seyrun Empire.

And that was what he wanted too.

Yes.

He was a young prime minister of the Hectare Empire.

He predicted that the country would be destroyed if things continued like this, so he contacted Cecilia and leaked information.

“Well… Then the monsters…”

“There’s no need to waste time. I’m thinking of cleaning it up on my way back.”

In the end, it was the helpless people who were harmed by the devil’s rampage. However, to the nobles, people were merely slaves who paid taxes and were not objects to be protected.

In fact, if the emperor had set out to subdue the monsters in the snowfield, it would have been possible to subdue them without any damage.

But to do that, we would have had to camp in a cold snowy field for several days.

But this person…

He spoke so lightly.

“Really… thank you.”

The Prime Minister bowed his head with deep gratitude.

So, after finishing the business-like conversation, she walked away.

“I’m going to get scolded by Marian.”

-Muttering softly.

A village on the outskirts of the hectare empire.

In the center, a girl shouted brightly.

“Wow…! mom! There’s a star over there!”

“What is this guy doing in broad daylight… huh?”

The girl curiously pointed to the sky, and the child’s mother looked up at the sky while gently cupping the child’s frozen cheek.

And it became solid.

Countless stars were falling to the ground.

“What the hell is this…”

Whether those who made a wish or those who were frozen in surprise, everyone had different reactions.

“Hey, isn’t that the Capella Mountains!”

Capella Mountains. Yeti. White Fang. A demonic realm inhabited by all kinds of ferocious demons that even mercenaries avoid.

Right now, a meteorite was falling towards that demonic landscape. Even though it was far away, I could see the overwhelming sound of light, speed, and dazzling flames.

They braced themselves for shock.

Some people sat down in their places, while others held on to the pillars and closed their eyes tightly.

still.

…

…

As time passed, no sound was heard.

“Did you see a vision?”

Although it was a long distance, there were more than 100 meteorites.

“Oh my god…”

Eventually, what caught their eyes was the sight of a huge mountain range breaking like sparkling ice.

After hearing the news, the Prime Minister dispatched the knights with him.

“What the hell is that…”

He too was no different from the village residents. Even though I heard the news, I couldn’t believe it.

Even after seeing it in person, all I could say was how enormous it was.

The snowy field sparkled with diamond dust from the entrance.

And, in the area where the monsters’ nest was, a huge creator appeared.

“Are you really saying that you can become a god? ”

Considering the situation, the extinction of the demonic beast was certain.

‘If this fell into the castle…’

The Prime Minister was relieved and sighed.

He said his choice was absolutely right.

* * *

After hearing Cecilia’s story, Marian touched her forehead. Cecilia sat next to her and quietly held her hand, while Marian narrowed her eyes and glanced at her.

Nevertheless, Marian sighed when she saw Cecilia laughing like an idiot.

“Ha.”

“…Marian?”

Cecilia, who saw a moment of silence and a silent glare at Marian, carefully leaned on her knees.

After a moment of silence, Marian opened her mouth.

“hectare The empire was captured…”

Without saying anything to the emperor himself. I don’t necessarily want to ask about that.

‘Still, so suddenly?’

Cecilia, reading Marian’s eyes, smiled awkwardly.

“Ugh…. I guess it’s a surprise gift…?”

“It’s a gift…”

I was definitely surprised. He captured the empire in less than a day, and that was in the morning while he was sleeping.

Silence again.

“What more can I say?”

When Marian lifted her chin, Cecilia corrected her posture and lowered her head.

“Sorry… I didn’t originally mean to do that…”

I didn’t mean to do that… In case he doesn’t go according to plan…

“Perhaps. Did you curse at me?”

“Uh…? Oh, no!”

Cecilia shook her head. He even looked to see if Marian’s feelings were hurt.

Marianne grinned when she saw that.

‘That’s right.’

To begin with, Cecilia was not a member of the delegation.

Considering the possibility, was there some kind of tip-off?

I smile when I see Cecilia gently touching my finger.

A boy who is good at lying is like this in front of me.

‘Well, that’s good too.’

Even so…

“It’s going to get busier…”

I’m already busy, but I can’t help but sigh when I think that the workload has increased.

“…Marianne won’t have to worry. Even though it is a vassal state, it is treated as a principality.

“How can you not care? I am the emperor. Even if it is a principality or a vassal state, the people of the hectare empire are also people I should care about.”

Marian interrupted Cecilia.

“I see…”

Cecilia muttered helplessly.

Even though his shoulders were drooping and he looked sad, Marian couldn’t see him.

‘After all, it’s a gift.’

Marian closed her eyes and lost herself in thought, holding the corners of her mouth that were trying to loosen up.

Well, looking at their movements, it looked like they were going to start a war sooner or later… I guess it’s just a matter of resolving something that was going to break out anyway.

“Marian…?”

“Ugh. Well, there’s nothing we can do about what’s already happened.”

Marian shook her head. As if it was no big deal.

‘Is this a special gift in its own way?’

Whatever it was, she was also weak to Cecilia.

“Then.”

The moment Marian stood up after finishing the conversation.

“Where are you going…?”

Cecilia held her hand.

“I’m going to be busier than this in the future, so I’m going to finish the backlog of work first.”

“…You’ve never been busier than this, right? I’ll take care of it, so why don’t you rest early today?”

Marian frowned when Cecilia asked if she would like to go to the bedroom.

‘Then who does the work?’

Cecilia, who understood the meaning just by looking at her eyes, smiled.

“I got a lot of talented people.”

“Umm.”

In short, it means having fun with other people.

“Well… sometimes.”

The very moment Marian nodded, Cecilia pulled Marian into a hug.

“Can I kiss you?”

Cecilia asked, putting her forehead against Marianne’s. This had happened countless times, but Marian only opened her mouth after swallowing her saliva.

“Why are you asking again?”

Although it was a blunt answer. My true thoughts were, ‘If you count the number of times we’ve kissed, it would be in the hundreds, but now?’

As such, it was a very common and familiar occurrence, but my heart started beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of my mouth.

Cecilia, who was watching her reaction closely, was also looking at Marian with eyes that were slightly trembling rather than relaxed.

“Well… it’s been quite a while. We.”

And Marian, who noticed that gaze, opened her mouth, suppressing her heart that was gradually sinking.
