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

Only invited kings of each country, including the emperor and the emperor, who were co-lords, could enter the conference hall where the alliance meeting was hosted.

There are no exceptions.

Even the maids were strictly restricted from entering while the meeting was in progress.

We can never allow humble beings into the noble statues of rulers who decide the future of the continent. It was a measure that originated from the extreme ideology of the chosen people held by the kings of each country.

‘I’ll just have to hear the results from the emperor later. You can never enter during a meeting… .’

Therefore, except for the king, the subjects only encountered the results passed through the alliance meeting. I never knew what questions and answers were going on in the conference hall.

What oracle did the Earth Mother give?

I was curious enough to grind my teeth, but there was no way to find out in advance.

“Her Highness Ludmila.”

“You came early. There are still about 30 minutes left.”

Ludmilla, who was guarding the conference hall accompanied by the Imperial Knights, said as she took out a pocket watch decorated with platinum from her pocket.

It wasn’t long until the alliance meeting began.

As if to prove it, guards from various countries, armed with flashy weapons, were forming a crowd.

If Ludmilla had not given permission to enter, he would have been immediately stopped by the imperial knights. I swallowed dryly as the atmosphere was more serious than ever and looked at the conference hall.

“Have you heard about trusts?”

“I didn’t hear it either. It seems that the royal government requested strict confidentiality.”

The reason why the kings of each country gathered in the imperial capital is still unknown.

The Holy Emperor’s response was overly cautious.

What on earth?

What is it about that is causing so much delay?

Ludmilla seemed to have the same doubts and appeared stiff.

“The Earth Mother gave an oracle… .”

“I hope it’s not a big deal. Isn’t it?”

Soon, kings dressed in splendid clothes appeared.

The kings who participated in the alliance meeting also entered the conference hall, each expressing their own doubts.

“It’s been a while since I greeted you. Her Highness Ludmilla.”

As I continued to watch the crowds moving towards me,

An unexpected person appeared.

The blond-haired young man who greeted Ludmilla in a greasy voice was the crown prince of the Pug Kingdom who lost everything to the sword saint of the saint’s party.

What was its name… .

I forgot his name because he wasn’t even worth remembering.

“Just go inside. His Highness Eric.”

“Ah, yes… . I understand.”

Through Ludmilla’s cold-hearted answer, I learned that the crown prince of the ruined kingdom had ascended to the throne as the king of the Pug Kingdom.

But does it have any meaning?

The king of a ruined country who could not even lead a single citizen.

Surprisingly, the Pug Kingdom was a country that participated in the alliance meeting held three years ago. Therefore, it seemed that special authority was given to the king of a ruined country who was only a facade.

“… … .”

It seemed like his dark feelings toward Ludmilla were still there.

To be exact, it may be a desire to become the son-in-law of the Valtaria Empire.

It’s just a pointless attempt.

Ludmilla’s expression, full of cold contempt, spoke volumes about him.

Erik, who was coldly rejected this time, swallowed his sleep and glared at me. He probably thought that the reason he kept getting rejected was because I was interfering with him.

“Wow, now the Earth Mother’s intentions will be resolved!”

“Hehe… . To be precise, it is not the King’s intention.”

The king of the Kingdom of Jistud and the princes of the United Principalities of Lateran have just entered the great hall.

After that,

The leaders who hosted the alliance meeting appeared.

“The leaders have to enter together… Although it is a long-standing custom, I am not very happy about it. I can’t believe I’m standing shoulder to shoulder with a guy who’s dark on the inside.”

“For the sake of peace on the continent, we must show the friendship between our two countries to the public. The Earth Mother told us to love even our enemies.”

Emperor Barbarossa.

Boern is a success.

As the rulers of the empire and the Holy Empire entered, the troops from each country who were guarding the conference hall politely bowed in unison. It was a sign of respect to the leaders who led the Third Racial War to victory.

“Are you here?”

I also bowed my head along with Ludmilla.

Then Barbarossa burst into laughter, smiling with satisfaction.

“Haha! The mixed feelings I had for a while got better after being welcomed by the handsome men and women representing the empire. We could change the convention hall into a wedding hall right now.”

Even though it was a scene where all the outstanding knights representing the forces had gathered, Barbarossa showed his bravery as usual.

My face got hot.

Needless to say, Ludmilla, the person involved.

Boern also laughed and agreed with Barbarossa’s words.

“Holy Sword Aldebaran… . I see, I heard a rumor that there is a new holy sword user in the Valtaria Empire. He is the younger brother of the warrior Maximilian.”“This is Edanand von Hohenberg, Your Holiness.”

He said it with extreme courtesy.

Then Boern nodded with a meaningful smile.

“Please come in, Your Majesty. Kings of all countries are waiting.”

“Hmm… . That’s how it should be.”

Ludmilla, who felt embarrassed at the sight of her father, who stopped in front of the conference hall and looked at her happily, urged her to enter in a patient voice.

Then Barbarossa cleared his throat awkwardly and took a step forward.

“… I’m really sorry.”

“I’m fine.”

The Emperor and the Holy Emperor safely entered the conference hall. After checking him out, Ludmilla lowered her head to hide her bright red face and muttered.

what,

It’s not that I don’t know the emperor’s feelings.

The second daughter is twenty-seven.

Wouldn’t you like to somehow get a confirmation before next year?

Therefore, the emperor’s sudden actions, which showed no hesitation even in front of a large crowd, could be accepted as a brief incident. Even if I were the emperor, I wouldn’t have gone to any lengths to protect my second daughter, who was well past the age of marriage.

“… … .”

If I told Ludmilla my true feelings, my head would swell.

So I kept my mouth shut.

“Prince Edanand… !”

“… … ?”

When I was laughing for a moment, thinking about Ludmila’s marriage, which was so late, like a bus leaving after midnight,

I heard a voice calling me.

Surprisingly, the voice came from the half-open conference hall.

“Attend the alliance meeting. The Emperor and the Holy Emperor have already given permission.”

“Yes? No, what is that… .”

No one can enter the alliance meeting except the kings of each country that formed the alliance. It was like an unwritten rule that would never be broken.

This cannot happen.

Ordering a person other than the king to enter the premises.

Ludmilla expressed her bewilderment at this unprecedented case. It was natural to feel confused by the series of upheavals that started from the Earth Mother’s oracle.

“This is a solemn command from His Majesty and His Holiness. So, I’ll be back for a bit.”

“Ah, I understand… . Please be careful.”

I felt like I knew indirectly why the order to attend the alliance meeting had been issued.

This may be because it is related to the oracle given by the Earth Mother.

What is your intention?

Are you really planning to reveal my identity in front of the kings of each country?

I swallowed hard as I remembered the image of the would-be saint I had met with Elisabeta. The thought that the Earth Mother must have carried out a cunning plot under the pretense of an oracle made me curse.

* * *

I opened the half-open door and entered the conference hall.

Is it because of the numerous gazes?

Or is it because of the atmosphere that has descended into silence?

The steps I took forward felt particularly heavy.

“… Did you call me?”

He bowed his head and greeted the kings of each country gathered at the conference hall. Then, the attention of the kings commanding the continent became concentrated to the point of being burdensome.

When I attended, Barovarosa distorted his grim face and shouted at Boern.

“Now that Edanant has arrived, speak quickly! What is the oracle given by the Earth Mother?”

“Yes, of course.”

Despite the emperor’s anger, the emperor’s expression was gentle.

Boern, who saw that many eyes were staring at him, quietly stood up from his seat. Boern’s behavior was so relaxed that the people watching felt frustrated.

“The Earth Mother said… You have appointed Sir Edanant as the new warrior of the Holy Empire.”

“What?”

The faces of all the kings present at the meeting were filled with astonishment at the sudden proclamation of the Holy Emperor.

So did the emperor.

When the Earth Mother’s oracle became known, she expressed embarrassment.

“Soon, the Demon Lord of Death will be resurrected in the demon world… He said he would create a new warrior to face death.”

Are you going to appoint an apostle who worships the disaster god of war as a hero of the Holy Empire?

Damn bitch.

Are you really planning to make me and the saint’s party fight in hopes of winning Donggwi Jin?

no… .

Maybe there is another reason.

I’m sure the Earth Mother knows about the end of the world.
