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

Elisabetta and Rue were enjoying a picnic in the back garden with other Ruinongs.

Basket with sandwiches.

Even the mat that covered the grass.

I looked at the villainess who was elegantly drinking tea while watching the cute little kids’ tricks.

Eventually, when their eyes met, the princess with beautiful blonde hair smiled softly. I was momentarily entranced by the sight of her wearing a pure white dress, like a pure white wedding dress.

“Edanant.”

The sight of the platinum princess with a wide smile was like looking at a famous painting. I was momentarily embarrassed by the smile of Elisabetta, who boasts peerless beauty.

Indeed, she is a beauty comparable to the heroine of a romantic fantasy.

Even though her engagement to the Hohenberg family broke down, Elisabeta was still receiving marriage talks from numerous prominent families in the empire. It was hard to believe that single people were always undervalued in the marriage market.

“Ethan! Did you come to see Lue?”

“Of course.”

A girl with light green hair came running towards me.

Then he stretched out both hands and lifted the little boy high.

“Hehe! High, high!”

Lue, who was hanging on both hands, let out an exclamation while shaking her limbs. Ruinong, who was watching the scene, also came running and started lining up one after another, asking for hugs.

It will take time to hug everyone.

But since I didn’t know when I would return once I left for the sanctuary, I decided to hug them all.

“It seems like the child’s father, who came back after a long time, is playing with the children.”

“… Well, maybe so.”

Baby dad.

If a third party were to see the scene, they might misunderstand it that way.

In that case, wouldn’t the princess seen playing with cute children be the child’s mother? He seemed to think so, too, as he clapped his hands and watched as he hugged the Ruinongs one after another.

“Ah, it’s really so difficult! How on earth do you make it?”

“Pohang Port! Ethan is such an idiot! How many times will I fail at this simple task?”

After accepting the jokes of Ruinong,

This time, I learned how to make flower crowns from the Ruinongs.

It’s quite difficult.

Every time I woven the flowers, they ended up becoming a mess, like a tangled skein of thread.

“Hi! I felt sorry for the flowers… !”

“You are planning to turn all the bountiful flower gardens into barren waste!”

The flowers that turned into rags while trying to make a wreath had already piled up like a mountain. The Ruinongs who were nagging next to me started jumping up and down, as if they were starting to feel frustrated.

shit.

I can’t believe I get to listen to advice from cute yet stupid fairies.

It was to the point where I felt suspicious that my intelligence might be below that of a dolphin.

“That’s it!”

After wasting 30 minutes, I completed the wreath.

Of course, it was clumsy compared to the wreaths made by Ruinong, who boasted craftsman-level skills. However, Elizabeth willingly stuck her head out and accepted the wreath.

“Thank you, it’s really pretty.”

“I made a wreath for the first time today… It’s very difficult.”

There was a strong smell of grass in both hands.

Elisabetta, who had watched the awkward scene from beginning to end, smiled and smoothed the wreath on her head. I was immediately captivated by the beautiful figure of the platinum princess wearing a wreath made of various flowers.

“I heard it from my sister. Going far away… . Is it really dangerous?”

“Yes. I think it will take some time.”

Elizabeth asked with a pensive expression.

He opened his mouth while stroking the head of Lue, who was tilting her head next to him.

It’s a very dangerous thing.

Against the Holy Empire… No, because we might end up fighting against the continent.

I was confident that I had gone through many dangers so far. However, the danger we would face in the sanctuary would be a turning point more dangerous than any challenge we had faced so far.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to come back.

Because he could not guarantee his survival, he showed reluctance to answer Elizabeth’s question.

“… Really?”

Did I feel an unusual current?

Elizabeth bit her plump lips.

Then she stood up and shook off the blades of grass that were stuck to the hem of her skirt.

“I won’t stop you. I won’t even catch it. Because I don’t want to disturb Edanant. just… .”

“… … .”

“Stay safe. And you must come back. Yes, this is enough.”

“Of course.”

The emerald eyes wavered pitifully.

However, Elisabetta tried to suppress her anxiety and smiled brightly.

It was natural to feel anxious.

Unlike me, Elisabetta is not used to separation.

“Hawa!”

“It was held in the arms of a pretty princess!”

Ruinong, who was looking closely at Elisabeta with sparkling pretty eyes, simultaneously reacted with a startled look.

This was because Elizabeth, who had said goodbye, suddenly stretched out both hands and hugged me.

It was like watching a scene from a fairy tale book.

The curious Ruinongs squealed and stamped their feet.

“Have a nice trip, warrior.”

The princess with beautiful blonde hair whispered in an alluring voice. And then he lifted his toes and kissed me on the lips.

side.

It was a short and concise kiss.

They lightly pressed their lips together, like a bird pecking with its beak.

It felt like the intention was to intentionally leave a feeling of regret. With its soft texture, it seemed as if Elisabetta’s complex inner feelings were being conveyed.

“Because he dared to steal the princess’s first kiss… Definitely come back!”

“… I am the one who was taken away.”

“Edanant did it with your sister last time! Me, this is my first kiss!”

“… … .”

Elisabetta, perhaps trying to hide her embarrassment, began to shout in an exasperated voice.

cute.

I wanted to tease him by poking his cheek.

However, we decided to leave those regrets behind for the reunion. The stronger the regret, the sooner the reunion will occur.

“Bo, would you like to do the same for Ethan!”

Lue, who had seen the princess’ unexpected kiss right in front of her, cried out while pulling on the hem of her dress.

What on earth are you trying to do?

I bent one knee and faced Lue at eye level.

Since you accepted Elisabetta’s refusal, now it’s time to accept Rue’s refusal. So I just looked at Ruinong, who was shaking his body and preparing something, without stopping him.

“Ethan… Are you coming back?”

“Of course.”

Did he think of Maximilian, who unilaterally broke up with him and left? Lue, who had experienced a sad breakup, showed signs of anxiety and tears every time they parted ways.

“I always believe in Ethan… ! I, myself… Because you’re Ethan’s best friend!”

“Because we will always be best friends.”

A little fairy approached with a wide smile.

And he kissed my cheek.

It was a kiss filled with love.

To repay Ruinong’s earnest feelings, she comforted him by stroking his head.

I will definitely come back.

I made a sincere promise to my best friend who always trusted and waited for my unreliable partner.

* * *

The seven powerful men representing tribes and forces, the Seven Strongmen of the Warring States, were special beings who each pursued only their own justice and beliefs.

There is no such thing as compromise.

All you can do is defeat and subjugate your opponent.

In the end, has even reason been eroded by the power of the absolute?

Most of the powerful people in the Seven Powers of the Nation were crazy people who refused to compromise and only wanted war. It would be truly foolish to appeal to such lunatics for an alliance while advocating for a cause.

“It is a temple for the one God. So everyone, be prepared to die and join the cause.”

A young man with red hair approached.

A young man with an androgynous appearance informed the people gathered at the parade ground that it was a holy war permitted by the One God and ordered them to commit suicide.

Brilliant armor covered in platinum.

And a red velvet cloak given to the guardian knights of the Holy Empire.

When it was revealed to the young man’s command, the Holy Knights who were guarding it all showed their respect. This is because the young man armed with dazzling armor is the 5th most powerful person in the kingdom.

“… Sirel.”

Cyrell Bailed.

A member of the National Seven Gangs and the current leader of the guardian knights of the Holy Empire.

Maximilian, who had trained his swordsmanship as if competing under Ikeron Nebiacus, the so-called Cardinal of Jet Black, shook his head as he looked at Sirel. Then, Sirel opened her eyes wide.

“What kind of face did an apostate who failed to properly serve the Second Saint show himself? If Master hadn’t left a warning, I would have cut you down first!”

“Hmm, Beomsaeng, who was in second place forever, just kept talking.”

A shout full of anger flew out.

Maximilian reacted indifferently and turned around.

“What, what?! How dare you talk about apostates!”

Sirel was furious and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

Then the surrounding paladins rushed in and tried to dissuade Sirel.

“Anyway, all the people of the Holy Kingdom are bastards.”

The conference room, which was crowded with many people, became noisy.

The alluring beauty sitting on the chair stretched out her slender legs and expressed her disdain.

Idiots who blindly believe in God’s teachings.

That was the reality of the Holy Empire as seen by the great wizards of the Magic Tower.

Magic Tower.

It is a force that has produced numerous great wizards, including the wise man who is a member of the saint’s party.

She was the owner of the Magic Tower, with a huge influence comparable to that of the Emperor of the Valtaria Empire and the Holy Empire of Gael. The Holy Knights were busy reciting the Bible and maintaining their composure as they saw a beautiful woman wearing a barely-there dress.

“As expected, the outside world is unpleasant. If it weren’t for the once-in-a-lifetime incident where Mugo’s fortune was resurrected, I would have been researching grimoires in the workshop as usual… !”

Querisa Neserhane.

The lord of the Red Magic Tower and the head of the Neserhane family, which produced famous great wizards.

And a part of the National Chilgang River.

The news that Mugo’s fortune had been revived resulted in a temporary alliance between the Magic Tower and the Holy Emperor, who had been at odds for hundreds of years due to their values and interests. In addition, the strongest members of the Seven Powers of the Nation gathered in the sanctuary.
