My fist mercilessly crushed the director’s nose bone.

“Wow!”

He quickly put his hand in his arms, but it was already too late.

The movement to take out the dagger was blocked by my kick, and the pistol hanging on my waist was not even able to be removed and was sent flying far away by my attack.

As a last resort, Hermann adjusted the dueling beads on his left hand, but-

“Where.”

His already broken and torn body was slow to react, and I was able to lightly knock the marble away and subdue him.

When it was confirmed that the director had collapsed, the emperor immediately went to undo Lilac’s shackles.

When I entered the imperial palace, I was also looking forward to a dramatic reunion with my lover…

Now my mind was consumed by the will to kill the Director of Intelligence.

“I tried gambling a bit, but it doesn’t work.

Instead of being tempted by the Crown Princess, I should have gone into exile as soon as things didn’t work out.”

“You… you… ”

The sight of the director laughing with blood-soaked lips exploded my anger.

My right fist hits his left cheek with a crunching sound.

Hermann spat out his teeth along with blood.

But this is not enough. With this…

“Using the game I made as a weapon and killing my family… ”

Brother Alistair was caught in the explosion and died without a moment to catch his breath.

My older sister, who had repeatedly chosen the wrong path after being twisted by Hermann, realized that there was no turning back and chose suicide.

Besides that, my friends who were injured and imprisoned in this coup, and Lilac…

My left hand strangles his neck.

The director struggles and tries to shake off my hand, but he is now as strong as a little girl.

“That kind of thing… Sounds like that… ”

“Coleman.”

At the sound of Lilac’s voice, I relaxed my hands.

I can feel her hands and body heat wrapping around my back.

And the tears flowing down my shoulders.

But that was only for a moment, and Lilac slowly pulled away.

“Ha… ha… ”

“Qu… Pfft… ”

Me and I sighing, and Hermann still smiling crookedly.

I gathered magical energy into my hands again.

Wind mana condensed into the shape of a dagger.

No one is stopping me.

Both the emperor and the princess just looked at me as they tried to execute the director.

This is my legitimate right.

Revenge on the enemy who killed your family…

Intelligence Director Hermann closed his eyes and craned his neck.

and…

Coleman. Mark my words.

I released the magic from my hands.

“… ”

“Don’t misunderstand…

I don’t think you deserve to live… ”

If you can avoid killing, don’t kill.

“But… If I kill you here, it would be against my brother’s request…

Because you’re making my brother a hypocrite… I won’t kill you.

Because you can’t kill them… ”

The Director of the Intelligence Bureau smiles and sighs.

I immediately bent his arm back and pulled it away, dislocating his shoulder blade.

“Kwaaak!”

“… Good idea. Coleman Cantor.

Jim promises. After a formal trial, Herman Jorowitz will pay the full price.

After revealing all his crimes, he will be put to death.”

The Emperor’s Promise.

Normally, I would have expressed my gratitude, but…

I closed my mouth.

King Creus I looked at me silently for a moment, then looked at the ceiling and sighed.

“Many people died because of Jim’s indecisiveness.

I realized that the head of the Intelligence Bureau was crossing a line, but I ended up dismissing him because I was worried that if I questioned him too hastily, there would be a backlash.

But I never thought he would do something like this… ”

“No. In the end, the intelligence chief’s coup was nothing more than the sudden action of a madman who received no support from the nobles.

Thanks to His Majesty’s careful judgment, he was able to isolate the Director, which was ultimately the best… ”

Lilac pauses as if biting her tongue and looks at me.

“… This was the best result.”

“Sorry, Coleman. That’s not what I meant.”

“No. I agree. This road… It’s probably the best.”

The Crown Princess looked at me with an anxious expression, but as soon as I tied the national coat and started to leave, she followed after me.

As you exit the secret room, you can see the commotion in front of the imperial palace through the hallway window.

The Royal Guard regiment that overpowered my comrades, and the Duke of Knizia who protested fiercely against them.

“Crown Princess, inform us that we have been released and instruct us to release those who have been suppressed.

And there is a fire in the eastern imperial palace, so gather people to put it out.”

“Okay.”

The Crown Princess runs out after receiving instructions.

But after a few steps, she stopped.

“Is this situation already sorted out?”

“… Mom.”

The air trembles, the moon’s magic fades, and the invisibility is lifted.

Athena Bonnet and Archmage Milton slowly descended through the broken ceiling of the imperial palace.

“You guys.”

“It’s been a while, Creus.”

Athena gave me a gentle greeting, but I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything.

“Ah, Hermann is there too. Should I at least say thank you?

Because you completely distracted the island troops, we were able to infiltrate safely.”

“… What do you want?”

“As you know, there is an enormous ley line running through the imperial palace in Billingham.”

A fleeting memory.

This is what my brother mentioned when he gave me a tour of the system.

“I thought there might be a place where I could use it, so I set it up like that…

In the end, I wasn’t able to retrieve the foreshadowing until the end of the work.”

“Settings? Foreshadowing?”

Creus laughed as if he was dumbfounded, but Athena paid him no mind and continued to explain.

“It’s none of your business… The important thing is that you can use this ley line to carry out your ritual.”

“No way… ”

“Yes. Our plan is finally coming to fruition.”

She declared proudly, spreading her arms.

If “ is the energy of this ley line, the duel field can be expanded to the entire world.

A world where all violence is extinguished and victory is achieved only through the era of romance.”

“Are you crazy?”

Lilac yells.

“Mom probably saw it too!

How the duel field created by Mom and Milton can be misused!

People who are good at games attack people who are not good at games -”

“No, what I saw was the abuse of an imperfect duel arena.”

She looked at the subdued Herman with contempt.

“The author used the duel arena like an advanced weapon that could be turned on and off when desired.

But what we want to create are the laws of the world.

There is no room for such tricks to work.”

“There is no difference whether it is the laws of the world or advanced weapons!”

“… Milton. Let’s get started.”

Immediately, Milton took out a small bead from his pocket.

The one that the Gyounguk and the gangsters were carrying around.

As he made a gesture, the ground beneath the imperial palace began to glow.

“The place where the sun, moon, fire, and wind are, is the sky.

Gathering this energy and this magic, I intend to be in heaven as I am on earth!”

“No way!”

The Emperor’s bellow.

“Do you think I will just watch your crazy behavior!”

He ran to the window to call the army, but was immediately stopped by Milton’s outstretched hand of wind.

“Ah. Creus. Does it really have to be like this?”

“Qu.”

“Your Majesty!”

Lilac cries out to find the suppressed emperor.

But strangely enough, I didn’t feel anything.

No, there was absolutely no awareness that this situation was real…

As Athena beckoned, Milton brought the captured emperor in front of her face.

Athena looked the emperor up and down with cold eyes.

“You know. I really thought about it a lot when I came here.

Should I kill you or not?

Well, you killed my husband, tried to kill me, and kidnapped my daughter… ”

Lilac flinching.

“Still, I was the one who set you up like that, so there’s no point in blaming me.

You can’t ask God why he does this to his creatures, right?

but… It won’t work in the end. I have no choice but to remove it.”

When she nodded to Milton, he created a window of light in the air.

“Is there any last thing you want to say?”

“… ”

The emperor slowly turned his head.

“I’m sorry. Lilac.”

“… ”

“I have nothing left to say except that I am sorry for everything… ”

A spear of light penetrated his body, and King Creus I closed his eyes.

and… It didn’t pop up again.

A clean, peaceful death without any trauma.

“This will be the last material violence in this world.”

“… Continue your ritual, Milton.”

“I understand. The place where the sun, moon, fire and wind are, is the sky.

Gathering this energy and this magic, I intend to be in heaven as I am on earth!”

Milton breaks the marble while chanting.

The smoke from the orb mixes with the energy from the ley line and rises into the sky.

At the towering pillar of light, the soldiers outside the window also stopped what they were doing and looked blankly at the sky.

“God, I need your help here.”

“Okay.”

Athena pulled out a feather pen from her arms.

“I will pour out the last of my power as a writer here.

I change the genre of the Aeorid Chronicles.

Not a romantic fantasy, but a miniature game battle game.”

As her pen tip embroiders the air, the pillar of light shines even brighter.

and-

With a popping sound, it begins to scatter in all directions.

East, west, north, south.

In this way, the laws of heaven bound the earth.

It was August 14, 188, Aeorid Empire Calendar.
