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

The hunt, which mobilized a large number of manpower, was originally planned to last until the evening. However, while the hunt was continuing, an unpleasant incident occurred and it came to a halt.

The emperor and great nobles suffered a secret attack.

When the tragic news that occurred at the hunting ground became known, the imperial capital was turned upside down.

The murderous grip that was threatening the empire even tried to kill the emperor.

So who on earth tried to assassinate the ruler of the empire? The Imperial Capital buzzed like a beehive full of angry wasps.

“Peha, if it is clear that this was done by subversive elements who hate the imperial family, an investigation must begin immediately. Please allow us to quickly investigate the suspects.”

“Yun Heo Hama.”

Ludmila, who heard the sad news, called for action.

Then Barbarossa, who hastily returned from the hunting ground, nodded.

“What are you thinking so hard about?”

“Ah, that’s it… .”

The emperor sitting on the throne stared into space as if recalling something. Ludmilla was worried that her father might be very surprised by the sudden change, so she asked.

It was natural to feel anxious.

The mountain beasts suddenly transformed into ferocious monsters and attacked.

Until now, there have been numerous assassination attempts aimed at plotting the rulers of the empire. However, in this case, it was a meticulous plan that Barbarossa had never experienced before.

No matter how bold and courageous a person is, they cannot help but feel fear. Ludmilla looked at her father with worried eyes.

“That guy. The second child of the Hohenberg family.”

“… Yes?”

This is an unexpected statement.

I blinked my eyes in embarrassment and asked back.

“Your marksmanship is outstanding! In half my life, I have never seen such an expert marksman! Every time you pull the trigger, the ugly-looking monsters vomit blood and fall down!”

“Ah, yes… . Is that so?”

The monsters that boasted persistent regenerative power and cruel madness fell at once.

It was clearly aimed at a critical point.

It was truly an amazing skill.

Barbarossa, a veteran who enjoyed hunting even before he ascended the throne, was able to accurately understand the marksmanship that rivaled Edanant’s rookie skills. That’s why I was more enthusiastic about his shooting skills than anyone else.

“Did you know?”

“Prince Edanand killed all the assassins who attacked the Hohenberg family with a pistol.”

“Guo, you mean with a pistol? ! I never thought his skill with a pistol would also be outstanding.”

“… … .”

What on earth?

It’s just a compliment to Edanant, as if it was written for something… .

When do you criticize me by calling me a thief who stole the daughters I cherished like Geumji Ok-yeop? Is it okay to show such an extreme change in attitude?

Ludmilla felt awkward at her father’s praise, which even showed respect. This is because every time the story about Edanant comes up, images of Gilgil’s anger come to mind.

“Let’s go hunting with Edanant tomorrow!”

“No! Please, my father, check his body!”

Ludmilla opened her eyes and shouted at her father who was acting so absurdly.

Did you hurt your head?

It was clear that he was so shocked that he couldn’t tell the difference.

It’s nice to see that you’re starting to think favorably of Edanant. But now was the time to put my father’s safety first, so I put my personal feelings aside for a moment.

* * *

I always tried to act like an ordinary man in the hunting field so as not to stand out and to bury myself as much as possible.

But it failed.

After all, a secret attack using wild animals was taking place in the hunting grounds.

The attention of the emperor and the great nobles was completely focused. Surely tomorrow, newspapers would publish a special feature on the activities of the Hohenberg prince at the hunting ground.

It can’t be anything other than a failure.

If they are revealed one by one like this, their true identity will eventually be revealed.

I arrived at the imperial villa with a heavy sigh. It was a luxurious mansion located in a wealthy neighborhood that Ludmilla had previously provided as accommodation.

“Are you there?”

smart-.

There was a knock on the door.

Could this be Elizabeth, who came to Seoul late?

no,

Probably not Elizabeth.

When the monorail exploded, all locomotives would have stopped running.

“It was rude of you to visit so late, Prince Hohenberg.”

A beautiful lady with gorgeous dark brown hair greeted me with a bright smile. When I encountered a woman overflowing with neat elegance, I felt embarrassed for a moment.

Who the hell is this?

By the looks of it, she looks like a woman of noble lineage.

Could it be that you are a noble lady who loves me?

I carefully observed the lady’s movements, making various guesses.

“The introduction is late. My name is Isabel von Valtaria, the first princess of the Valtaria imperial family.”

“Ah! I’m sorry for not recognizing the dragon’s eye, Your Royal Highness.”

I never thought I would meet Lyudmila and Elisabetta’s older sister like this.

Isabel von Valtaria.

The first princess of the Valtaria Empire is a character who does not appear in this work.

Ludmilla is at least mentioned in terms of her activities, but Isabelle’s name is not even revealed. So, of course, I had no choice but to not know Isabel.

‘I heard that she broke the customs and laws and married a count in the outskirts for love… . What was the name of the husband who married the princess? ‘I don’t remember the details.’

Since he is the husband chosen by the eldest daughter of the Valtaria imperial family, he would naturally be considered an outstanding genius. However, strangely enough, the husband who married the first princess had a surprisingly faint presence.

What on earth is this person doing?

I’m definitely not a blood relative of a prestigious family… .

Even nobles who liked making up rumors were shaking their heads.

“I heard that you saved His Majesty at the hunting ground. And last time, you saved Liza from the clutches of Mine. As the eldest daughter of the Valtaria imperial family, it is fitting to express gratitude to the benefactor of the empire.”

“Of course… I just did what I had to do.”

My face heated up for a moment at the old-fashioned and elegant charm of the lady.

Is it because she is the eldest daughter?

He overflowed with a noble maturity that his younger siblings lacked.

Even though she was wearing a dress with a simple design, the superiority of her breasts stood out. I dared to guess that she was probably taller than Ludmilla, who boasted a slender body.

… I must be crazy.

How dare you criticize a married woman’s body.

“I heard news from the County of Divener. I heard you will soon become a member of the imperial family?”

“… Uh, um.”

“Perhaps between Mila and Lisa… Confucius, who do you admire?”

“… … .”

As the older sister of Ludmila and Elisabetta, who loved romance novels, Isabel was also the type who was naturally interested in romance.

The noble lady’s chestnut eyes sparkled with interest.

Who do you admire?

How can you ask such a scary question in such a beautiful and pure voice?

If you tell me the name of the princess you love, she will definitely help you actively. Isabel waited for an answer like a matchmaker.

“Well, I… I guess… .”

“Anyway?”

“Princess Ludmilla… I love you.”

“Confucius loves Mila!”

I couldn’t say that I loved Elisabetta, my older brother’s fiancée, in front of my eldest sister.

but,

It wasn’t just for that reason.

If I didn’t have any feelings, I would have answered that I don’t love anyone.

He expressed his true feelings while trembling like a stutterer. Then Isabel stretched out her hands in joy, as if calling for joy. The beautiful smile without the slightest selflessness felt so scary.

“Although she is late in age, Mila is a lady with an upright character and a dignified appearance. It is natural that Confucius admires Mila. Actually, I was secretly hoping that you would choose Mila?”

“Oh, I know.”

“The story will be long for a while. Would you like some black tea?”

“… Yes.”

Isabel ordered, clapping her hands.

Then the maids waiting behind bowed their heads and responded.

I just came to say thank you.

Why did it end up being a tea time held by the First Princess?

I glanced at the maids skillfully brewing black tea. And then he turned his attention to Isabelle, who had a lively smile as if she would talk all night long.

Obvious.

I didn’t just come to say thank you.

As the eldest sister, she must have come to support her younger sisters in their sluggish love affairs.

* * *

The demons who worshiped the God of Disaster were beings who destroyed common sense and reason.

Apostle.

Groups who worshiped a forgotten god called him ‘Apostle’.

Unlike the demons who were only granted the protection that is part of the godhead, the apostles of the Calamity God even accepted the divine will, including the protection of the god they worshiped. It meant that although it was only for a moment, he could perform the miracle of bringing God into his body.

“I missed the emperor… . Well, I didn’t really expect anything.”

A shadow with flowing black hair stood up from the throne.

Looking at her small physique and slender form, it was clear that she was a woman of mysterious spirit.

A sharp voice rang out.

Then, the people lined up on the left and right bowed their heads and waited for orders.

“Still, it would be enough to declare war to summon the red dragon.”

Threatening the empire by mobilizing vengeful puppets until now was merely a provocation to draw out Ludmilla.

The red dragon is definitely moving.

The just guardian of the imperial family will never sit idly by and watch the threats to the empire and its citizens. Therefore, even though he knows that it is a trap that will invite him, he will willingly fall into it.

“What do you think of the newly acquired magic weapon?”

A cult knight wearing a black hood asked.

The woman answered him.

“As expected, compatibility with Shingeki is good. Even God will be satisfied.”

A platinum bracelet with various patterns engraved on it was shining brightly on the woman’s slender wrist. I was overflowing with strange energy, as if I had just used it.

If Edanant had seen it, he would have been embarrassed.

because,

This is because it was the magic weapon of a wise man who was a member of the saint’s party.

Why did the magic tower’s holy relics, which were given by the wise man, end up in the hands of cultists? Only the apostles and believers who worshiped the God of Disaster would know this.

“Then how do we deal with the Earth Mother’s stray dogs?”

“Leave it alone. Because killing the weak is not pleasant.”

Around the woman, the Holy Knights dispatched from the Holy Empire were spread out like corpses. Black smoke rose, as if showing that a fierce battle had just been fought.

A demon has appeared.

As soon as the Holy Emperor heard the news, he sent in a punitive force composed of elites.

But the results were truly disastrous.

Although they barely survived, they were all incapable of fighting.

The entire punitive force that boasted of its brilliant military achievements against the apostles who worshiped the god of heresy was wiped out. If the humiliating defeat was known to the Holy Empire, the Holy Emperor and the cardinals would be unable to sleep at night in fear. Of course, he must have been confident of victory.

“You are truly amazing, Ariel. To even defeat the guardian knight who serves the Holy Emperor… .”

“I’m done flattering.”

A woman named Ariel made a gesture.

Then the priests serving the heresy opened the door to the stage.

“From now on, I am going to the empire.”

I will show it to the hypocrites who praise the Earth Mother.

Your death has come.

The apostles who were unable to participate in the race war returned from the world of chaos after three years.

I will avenge my compatriots who were horribly executed just for worshiping a forgotten god. The wails of the hypocrites who committed massacre to protect the divinity of the One God will echo beyond hell.
