==================

I was immediately afraid of tomorrow morning.

Breaking News) The warrior Maximilian announces a break-up of engagement with the Valtaria imperial family.

Breaking News) Saint’s party, mysterious disappearance. Suspicions of running away at night for a reverse harem.

If newspapers, which blindly chase after scoops, caught the scandal of the saint’s party, they would surely pour out a barrage of fire. The party of saints who defeated the Demon King boasted the highest level of fame.

Damn it.

How did it end up like this?

I sighed while scratching the back of my head.

‘Could it be that part 2 started right after the epilogue ended? Apparently, the author posted a notice saying he would serialize part 2. And as soon as I saw the serial announcement, I fell into the world of romantic fantasy.’

There is usually a gap of several months or years between Part 1 and Part 2.

but

Not all works are like that.

The development of the work is solely at the discretion of the author.

There was nothing strange about Part 2 starting right after Part 1 ended.

If I were simply a reader, I would have accepted it, but unfortunately, I was possessed by an extra in the work. Since my fate was determined by the development of the work, I couldn’t help but feel angry.

“You seem to be deeply worried.”

“Her Highness the Princess.”

A woman with flowing blonde hair approached with a gentle smile.

He bowed his head in courtesy.

“About the aftermath of the incident… I was worried for a while.”

”I was worried about that too.”

How far the vacancy of the saint’s party would last was something that could not be predicted.

The pride and hope of humanity.

The strongest punitive force that has achieved countless heroic stories.

The brilliant reputation that has been built up until now will come back as a shock.

Ludmilla probably went directly to the County of Hohenberg and asked for my help because she expected an unprecedented chaos that would swirl like a whirlpool.

“Has there been any further communication from Seonghwangguk?”

“I will continue to remain silent. But they will send an envoy soon. The second saintess has gone missing in the territory of the empire.”

A sharp thorn was felt in Ludmilla’s voice.

If it’s natural, it’s natural.

To her, Beatrice was a she-cat who stole her sister’s fiancé. Maybe, deep down, you wish Beatrice would disappear forever.

“I’m glad you were willing to grant my request.”

“It was an obvious decision. The prestige of the empire and the honor of the family are at stake.”

Due to the youngest daughter’s broken engagement, the emperor’s anger stack must be running through Max.

You might think they are people who wouldn’t mind changing their clothes.

In addition, if you responded lukewarmly to Ludmilla’s request, you would receive a mysterious package from the Valtaria imperial family.

Would you say it was a decision to live?

Nowadays, unconditional obedience is the only way to live.

That’s why I looked at Ludmila with a shocked look on my face.

“I told you, I have no intention of taking my anger out on you.”

“Ah. Sorry.”

“I just hate those people who engraved the pain of heartbreak on my precious, one and only little sister, like the enemies of the devil. I want to send him to the gallows right now. I have no ill feelings towards anyone except him.”

“… … .”

The one among those ‘good guys’ is my brother Deb Show.

what… .

If you dig him out of the family register, he will no longer be your older brother.

“I’m going back now. When you arrive at the imperial capital, send a letter to the county.”

“Okay.”

Ludmilla turned her back with elegant steps.

I will send you a letter.

The purpose is probably to call it the imperial capital.

From now on, we will be working together for a common goal.

By accepting Ludmilla’s offer, we were able to escape the crisis for now. However, one could not be completely reassured because the fate of the family would ultimately be determined by the emperor’s will.

* * *

The fire was quickly put out.

I sighed in relief and grabbed my left hand.

The red dragon of Valtaria.

I let out a heavy sigh as I thought of the princess’ appearance, with her profound dignity and elegance.

“What if someone with the strongest view of the world suddenly appears… . This is a truly merciless development.”

Ludmilla Dreig Valtaria’s name appears indirectly at the moment when Princess Elisabetta, a character promised to be defeated, confronts Beatrice over her fiancé Maximilian.

-Do you think my sister will stay still?!

-The red dragon of Valtaria will burn you and your relatives.

-No matter how much she is a saint… You won’t be able to defeat my sister, the defender of the empire!

At first glance, it may sound like a childish boast of power, but Ludmila, who inherited the blessings of the Red Dragon, is a part of the Seven Powers of the Continent, the Seven Powers of the Nation.

A monster that even Maximilian, who boasts the greatest military power among the male protagonists in the story, cannot determine the odds of victory. That’s why Elisabetta used Ludmilla’s force to threaten the female cat that was flirting with her beloved fiancé.

“But I’m twenty-seven this year… ? Why are you still single?”

27 years old.

Unmarried with absolutely no prospects.

She was a complete spinster.

Even the ranks of the ajummas were close.

As I remembered Ludmilla, who had both a noble appearance and profound dignity, I felt doubtful about becoming an old maid. It’s probably because there’s definitely a story behind it. Otherwise, how could the emperor’s daughter remain unmarried until she was over 27?

“If you call me ‘Ajumma’ in front of you, you’ll get beaten to death, right?”

That is highly likely.

Either get hit or die.

Or die as painfully as possible.

old maid… . Madame… .

It was a taboo that should never be done in front of the princess, who turned 27 this year. If you say it carelessly, even ten lives will be lost.

“Ethan!”

“Father.”

When I was reminiscing about my meeting with Ludmilla while telling a silly joke,

My father, who had been away, has returned.

Embarrassment was evident on his face.

It seemed like he had heard the story of the princess who raided the County of Hohenberg.

“I heard the news from the head deacon! Princess Ludmilla has arrived… !”

“Yes, I just went back.”

After hearing the answer, my father’s face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. I even swallowed the wind like a person who faced death and barely survived.

The red dragon of Valtaria.

The majesty of the defender of the empire was enough to endanger even the administrator of the East.

“Didn’t the princess take issue with the manager’s absence? Then, I plan to go after you right away and apologize.”

“I reacted indifferently. Because I had some business to do.”

“To you… ?”

“I have been ordered to join in the pursuit of the missing saint’s party.”

Where should I start explaining?

It’s embarrassing.

The explanation will definitely be lengthy due to the circumstances.

As I looked at my father with a puzzled look on his face, I took a moment to organize my mind, which had become as complicated as a skein of thread.

* * *

next day.

Did heaven help me?

Or is it because of the intelligence agencies’ efforts to conceal the facts?

The newspaper delivered early in the morning was full of trivial news that was worth the subscription fee.

-Elf Forest, “The prosperity of the race depends only on plunder.”

-Unification of the World Series… Serialization delayed due to low popularity.

-Nobel Pie’s elk destroys crops, causing billions of dollars in damage.

Nothing happened.

It was quiet today as usual.

The sky is clear and the sun is warm.

It was a weather suited to the east, where the mild climate repeats itself.

‘I’ll just enjoy a peaceful nap today. In the end, if the news of the saint’s party’s disappearance spreads to the public, we will be embroiled in numerous scandals.’

Let’s leave the worries of the future to the next me.

I tried to ignore the regret, remembering the family motto passed down by the Hohenberg family.

“ too, master! Master!”

“What’s going on?”

A loud knock sounded three times in succession, and the door to the office opened.

Knight Elliot.

Embarrassment was evident on his young, sturdy face.

I wasn’t embarrassed by the sight of Elliot running towards me in a panic. This is because Elliot, who always liked to exaggerate things, was famous for being a bluff. So I thought this time it was just a bluff.

“A kid with a strange way of speaking… He suddenly came to me asking me to see you.”

“Me?”

If he had been a promiscuous aristocrat, upon hearing the report, he would have recalled his turbulent life and suspected an illegitimate child.

However, he was an intellectual with a healthy private life.

I’m not… .

Then, could it be your father?

I once heard from my mother that unlike now that he has become a warm old man, he was a huge womanizer when he was young. That’s why I immediately suspected my father. There was nothing strange about a hidden illegitimate child suddenly appearing.

“Are you Ethan by any chance?”

“… … .”

I followed Elliot to the entrance.

It was as he reported.

A girl with light green hair had brightly shining eyes.

Has it come a long way?

A large suitcase was seen in the girl’s small hands.

That situation seemed like a runaway girl who was kicked out of home due to an unfortunate family environment. Seeing the girl leaning on the suitcase, the servants of the Hohenberg family began to stir one by one.

“Ethan… ? Yes, my name is Edanand von Hohenberg.”

“Ahem! Arrived just as Max ordered! After all, you are smart!”

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived.

I could feel the emotion and joy on the girl’s face.

“I am Lue! Rue Ruinongim!”

“… Oh my god, it’s a mascot.”

A fairy who protects the journey.

Hero Maximilian’s helper character.

A character who took the top spot in the popularity poll along with the female protagonist due to his unique way of speaking and cute appearance.

It was clear that the kid was the symbol and mood maker of the saint’s party.

Why did you come here anyway?

‘Max ordered it’… I’m sure my brother sent it.

I had mixed feelings about the sudden situation.

“Who is that kid?”

“I don’t know, I guess she’s Master Ethan’s secret daughter.”

“You’ve always been single… I thought it was definitely that one.”

The misunderstanding of the users began to deepen as they saw the confident girl acting friendly.
