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

The Ruinongs, who were no different from refugees who entered the country without permission, were recognized for their activities by the Baltarian imperial family and acquired citizenship.

It was an auspicious result.

From now on, Ruinong will receive the protection of the empire.

It was widely known that a mysterious race known as the mascot of the saint’s party was living together in the Marquis of Hohenberg. Then, the citizens of the empire began to show interest and interest in the Ruinong race.

“You can earn a huge amount of money by letting you touch and pet the cute fairies. Should we build the Ruinong Experience Center in the Marquis of Hohenberg? .”

If one took advantage of the vanity of nobles who spared no expense for new stimulation and interest, one would certainly be able to reap a fortune.

And if the Marquis of Hohenberg is promoted on a large scale using Ruinongs as mascots, it could quickly become famous.

My head flashed.

An opportunity to make a fortune seemed to flash before my eyes.

“No! They’re using the Ruin farmers to make money… Absolutely the opposite!”

The princess with flowing blonde hair shouted as she hugged Ruinong, who was sucking on candy, with both hands. She looked very strong, like a mother desperately trying to protect her children from an evil affair.

He made a puzzled expression and scratched the back of his head.

“No, of course I’m joking.”

“Lie. It wasn’t a joke at all.”

Be quick to notice.

As expected, she is a villainess who is the opposite of the female protagonist… .

At Elizabeth’s sharp gaze, he raised both hands and declared his withdrawal.

“I hope Ruinong learns happiness and joy by experiencing the outside world. Until now, Ruinongs have been living isolated in the stuffy underground world for a long time.”

Elizabeth smiled bitterly and patted Louison’s head. Then the Ruinongs laughed widely and placed a carefully made wreath on the princess’s head.

The villainess and Ruinongs.

It was a truly unfamiliar yet fitting relationship.

While looking at the beautiful sight, I decided to put my plans for the Ruinong Experience Center on hold.

“But is it okay to pick the flowers in the garden as you please?”

“Well, what do you think? Who would dare criticize the princess?”

He expressed regret to the gardeners who looked at the damaged flower beds in astonishment. He must have put a lot of effort into creating a beautiful patronage for the emperor.

I felt embarrassed seeing the garden in disarray.

“Prince Edanand.”

When I was staring endlessly at Elisabetta and Ruinong’s intimate picnic,

A priest wearing robes approached.

He was a deacon of the Holy Empire who assisted Jebelin.

“The saint is calling.”

“Me?”

If it was the promised time, it would have been a long way away… .

Is something happening?

I nodded at Jebeline’s message and stood up.

* * *

Shocking news arrived that the Pug Kingdom, which had miraculously recovered despite the onslaught of warlocks, was destroyed overnight.

Kings and nobles were exterminated.

Surprisingly, the culprit who committed the gruesome massacre was the sword saint Regnus.

The country of the Sword Saint, located on the outskirts of the north, was destroyed by the hands of the Sword Saint. The news from all over the world spread quickly, shocking many politicians, including the emperor.

“Geomseong… Did you really kill the king?”

“This is news from the crown prince who barely survived. It must be true.”

Sword Saint.

The best sword that combines holy justice and chivalry.

The sword saint, who saved the world by subduing the great demons of the demon world, betrayed his oath as a warlord and murdered the king.

can not believe it.

How can I accept him?

Upon hearing the sad news, Barbarossa sighed heavily and pressed his temples. This is because the disaster that occurred in a village located on the outskirts of Geomseong would act as an aftereffect that would shock the continent.

“We need to check the facts immediately!”

“I can’t believe it at all! How could a swordsman do such a shameless thing… !”

The ministers assisting the emperor also expressed confusion.

Along with the warrior Maximilian, the person who recorded numerous sagas was the sword saint Regnas. It was difficult to easily accept the conclusion that such a hero had committed the treasonable atrocity of assassinating his own king.

“Your Majesty… ! It is said that Crown Prince Eric has just arrived in the imperial capital.”

“Hurry and bring him back!”

The crown prince of a ruined nation, who survived the disaster, arrived at the imperial capital of the Valtaria Empire via a warp gate.

After hearing the news, Barbarossa immediately issued a strict order.

“Your Majesty. The Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Pug requests an audience.”

“Come in.”

How much time has passed?

Knights wearing dazzling armor came in, accompanied by a man wearing a hood.

The emperor gave a glance.

Then the knights lifted the man’s hood, which was covering his face, without hesitation.

“Well, in such a world… !”

“It’s a hideous wound. Could it be that he was attacked by a sword saint?”

His handsome appearance was everywhere.

The appearance of the crown prince, whose face was covered with bandages like a mask, was truly miserable.

There must have been deep sword marks on his face.

The clear blood stains visible beyond the bandage spoke volumes about him.

“I will ask, Crown Prince. Was the tragic news that Sword Saint killed the king of the Pug Kingdom true?”

“That… That’s right! A high-ranking traitor raided the royal castle and murdered the father and nobles!”

The number of people who were massacred in the capital reached as many as hundreds.

The culprit was clearly Regnas von Fugue.

The only survivor of the disaster reported the bloody situation at the time. The emperor and ministers swallowed their silence and nodded.

“Why did the Sword Saint who disappeared with the saint appear now? And why did he suddenly appear and commit the grave sin of assassinating the king? Does the crown prince have anything to point out in Geomseong’s actions?”

Barbasa asked in a solemn voice.

Then Erik opened his mouth, swallowing dry saliva.

“How can you know the inner thoughts of a traitor… ! The father, who was infinitely merciful, took in Regnas, who had been wandering the streets with his widowed mother, and treated him like family. However, in his ingratitude, Regnas committed the atrocity of assassinating his father, who had shown him mercy!”

Erik emphasized that he was a victim who was wrongfully swept away by omitting the evil deeds he committed against Regnas and his mother.

Sympathy must be elicited.

I had to somehow gain generosity from the emperor of the empire.

The king and nobles were massacred and the Pug kingdom collapsed. Erik, who fled the kingdom from the citizens who had been liberated from tyranny, was practically penniless.

If you go back to the kingdom, you will be beaten to death by frenzied citizens.

So, the crown prince of the ruined country watched the emperor’s thoughts and repeatedly said that he was in a miserable situation.

“It is undoubtedly true that Sword Saint murdered the king and nobles of the kingdom. First of all, the crown prince has serious injuries, so get treatment first. Until the details are revealed, I will make you an honored guest of the imperial family.”

“Ma, I’m devastated… Your Majesty!”

He murdered the king, his lord and foster father to whom he had sworn allegiance.

That was undoubtedly true.

Barbarossa swallowed a heavy sigh and waved his hand to send away the crown prince of the ruined nation.

“The saint of the sword, who was said to be a symbol of noble chivalry… How did you become a regicide?”

regicide.

It is an insult given to a traitor who betrayed his oath of loyalty and murdered the king.

Geomseong was reduced to a king assassin.

Many politicians on the continent would fear him and despise him at the same time.

There will soon be a flood of claims that a traitorous criminal should be declared a public figure of the empire. Because the point of the regicide’s sword might be pointed towards another kingdom.

* * *

Swordsman killed the king and nobles.

I felt dizzy after hearing the sad news that Zeveline delivered.

What kind of practical joke is this?

That thought occurred to me, but Jebeline’s expression was extremely serious.

“That can’t be possible! I don’t know if Maximilian has a damn personality… Regnas is definitely not a person who would commit mass murder!”

Regnas was a swordsman who had defeated numerous great evils, but he never once turned the point of his sword against humans.

I picked up a sword to protect humans.

That’s why I swore that I would never cut down humans for any reason.

Sword Saint.

Regnas, with his noble character, was worthy of the name of the Saint of the Sword.

I overcame my dark past and rose up.

He gave up his seething desire for revenge and took on noble justice.

He led the cruel war to victory in order to protect his beloved saint and countless other people.

That can’t be possible.

Regnas was never the kind of person who would cause such a disaster.

I was able to vouch for Regnas’ noble character to the point where I was able to express strong confidence right away.

“Then, would you like to meet the crown prince of the Pug Kingdom first? I must have just arrived at the ecliptic.”

“… Yes, of course.”

Eric von Fugue.

He was a bastard who abused Legnas when he was young.

He was also a human being who used an evil plan to poison Regnas’ mother.

The last time Ludmila went out to help the Pug Kingdom, she stayed silent. Because the kingdom had to be protected, even if it was a den full of insidious human beings.

But now there was nothing to hesitate about.

Because he was nothing more than the crown prince of a ruined country who was about to lose the power he had been so overconfident in.

He will continue to tease with his sly tongue and emphasize the disaster caused by Regnas. In order to find out the detailed truth about what happened in the Pug Kingdom, I had to contact the damn bastard.
