“Lily? You’re not here?”

Sister Dania asked with her eyes wide open.

Since our first meeting, we often visited and had meals together, but unfortunately, this time, something unfortunate happened.

Lily is gone.

I think he ran away because he felt guilty for hurting me.

Athena, Marie, and I decided to split up and go look for Lily.

The Demon King was too conspicuous, so we decided to leave him at our house for a while.

‘I’m fine…’

Lily didn’t do it on purpose. I wasn’t seriously hurt. There’s no way I could hate my beloved sister for something like this.

But Lily must have thought differently. Even though quite some time had passed, she still hadn’t shown up.

The Academy, Lily’s dorm, and finally, her sister Dania’s house, but I couldn’t find her anywhere.

Now I’m starting to get worried.

I thought it was okay because Lily had become so strong, but since I couldn’t see her like this, I was starting to feel uneasy for no reason.

“What’s going on, Hera?”

As Sister Dania approached me, her overwhelmingly large heart touched my chest.

“Ah..no..we just had a little fight..”

Sister Dania looked at me with her eyebrows raised as if she was surprised.

“What’s going on..? You two are fighting.”

“Umm…we didn’t fight…but somehow it ended up like that..”

I beat around the bush, not wanting to worry my sister.

I don’t want to see my sister sad… No matter what happens, I will find Lily safely… It’ll be okay.

“I know. You must have put up with Lily’s tantrum. ”

As if she knew my feelings, but didn’t, Dania stroked my head with a bewitching smile and spoke to me.

Even today, my sister still treats me so warmly.

In the past, I always relied a lot on my older sister’s mature attitude.

For some reason, I felt like throwing a tantrum at her again.

But unfortunately, finding Lily is the top priority.

As for the complaint… I guess I’ll have to come and use it next time.

“I’m going out, should I make you a meal?”

“It’s okay.. I’ll go meet Lily first.”

My sister made a slightly regretful expression, but then she smiled again and hugged me warmly.

Then, a smile spread across my face without me realizing it as I felt my sister’s two huge arms covering my chest.

“Hehe..I’ll definitely come back when I find Lily..”

“Hehehe, okay.. If things don’t work out with Lily, you can just live with your sister, so don’t worry too much.”

“Phew.”

Sister, you too.

He loved Lily more than anyone else, and sometimes he would play pranks like this.

Although she was always mature, Dania was secretly a prankster.

“If the two of them live together..Hera will have to eat her older sister?”

Yeah, sometimes it’s like this.

I also really like Dania unnie, so I was the one who joked around with her first many times, so it must be mutual.

Just like before, this time too. I looked at my sister with a bright smile.

“Hehe.. I think it’ll be okay if it’s my sister!”

“…..hehe.”

My sister looks down at me with a faint smile.

This time, I received healing from my sister, and although it was hard to say I was grateful, I lightly kissed her cheek.

“Thank you always, sis. Then I’ll come back again!”

“…..Okay. Bring it well”

Let’s put aside those slightly regretful feelings.

Just then, I was about to leave to find Lily again.

Boom-!

“It’s an imperial edict! All movements must stop.”

There was a loud voice, followed by the sound of something breaking.

When I turned my head, I saw a large crowd of knights in golden armor, glaring at us.

A sun symbol painted on a golden armor.

The elite soldiers of the Imperial Palace. The 1st Knight Division.

Why are those who are supposed to protect the emperor suddenly here..?

“…What are you doing?”

After hiding Sister Dania behind my back and glaring at them, a figure appeared, cutting through the crowd of soldiers.

A physique that looks like it will never break.

A refined mana swirling around him.

And the red armband hanging on his shoulder.

It was a noble armband that only the captain could wear.

The 1st Knights, the elite of the Imperial Palace. The one who commands them is one of the strongest. And once served as the teacher of the protagonist in the novel.

A person who regards the emperor as a god and is only loyal to the imperial palace.

Knight Godric.

He was looking down at me with his intimidating eyes.

“The tip was right. It was easy to find since he wasn’t hiding.”

“You found me?”

When I asked with a dumbfounded expression, Godric answered with one eyebrow raised.

“Didn’t you know? The whole empire is looking for you right now.”

“Yes..? Why did the Empire..?”

Godric looked to the side and nodded his head, and one of the knights beside him ran forward and unfurled something in the shape of a scroll.

On the scroll that was spread out like that, the emperor’s seal was stamped at the end of several letters.

“It’s the imperial order. A beautiful woman with black hair and red eyes. I will escort you to the imperial palace immediately. ”

“Huh?! No.. I-”

“How dare a common citizen refuse the imperial command?”

I felt a sharp pain as Godric suddenly came forward and grabbed my wrist tightly.

“Ugh.”

“Just follow me without saying a word.”

His forceful attitude made me frown.

No, how can a gentleman like you treat people so violently?

As soon as he tried to drag me out by force, Dania came running to me with a worried expression.

“Hera!”

“Sister. I’m okay-”

Just when I was about to tell my sister that it was okay.

One of the knights stepped forward and pushed his sister away with one hand.

My sister, who had no strength whatsoever, fell to the floor.

The moment I saw that sight, I lost my senses.

“What the heck are you doing!!”

As I pushed Godric away with both hands, his body flew like a bullet and was embedded in the wall.

I ran to my sister and examined her body amidst the knights who were flustered by the sudden situation.

“Are you okay, Unnie?! Are you hurt..?”

“Yeah, it’s okay. I just fell over.”

Sister Dania speaks as she stands up, holding my hand.

Even though I said it was nothing, the anger inside me didn’t subside.

“I see. So she’s not an ordinary woman.”

Godric spoke calmly and began to slowly approach me.

“What the hell are you doing, you came all of a sudden! Do you think you can get away with this?”

Godric raised one eyebrow, then began to laugh loudly.

“Hahaha! This is why they are uneducated citizens.”

And soon he looked at me coldly with a smile on his face.

“You dare to rebel against the Emperor’s command. What ignorant courage.”

“……”

My heart sank at the sight of his appearance, which was so exactly like the novel.

He worshipped the emperor as a god in the original work, and he would go through any trouble to follow his orders.

Godric, who had excessive loyalty.

Because of that, there were quite a few frustrating scenes.

But after meeting the main character, he was eventually able to carry out his own will through his righteousness and turned into a good person.

“If you follow me obediently even now, there will be no more damage. I also do not want to hurt the citizens of the great empire.”

That’s funny.

After causing a ruckus just a moment ago.

I wanted to yell at him right away, but I couldn’t move because of my sister behind me.

Unlike me, my sister was a really ordinary person.

“Why do you want to take me?”

“You should hear that directly from the Emperor. I am only following orders.”

I felt frustrated by his old-fashioned attitude.

“…What if I say I’m not going?”

“Then I will take you by force. Even if it means harming innocent civilians.”

Godric glanced at Sister Dania and spoke. It was a clear sign of intimidation.

In this hopeless situation, I bit my lip.

“Hera, unnie, it’s okay. You, run away quickly.”

“I don’t like it.”

How could I leave my sister behind?

My older sister, who always took my side and comforted me warmly.

I had no intention of leaving her alone, even if it meant dying.

“I wish you’d reply quickly. I’m busy even though I’m like this.”

Although I didn’t like the way he kept urging me from the front, I took a short breath, calmed myself down, and approached him.

“….Okay. I will follow the emperor’s orders.”

“Yeah. You’re making the right choice.”

“Hera!”

Sister Dania looked at me with her eyes shaking violently.

“It’ll be okay. The Emperor wouldn’t do anything bad to the people of the empire, right?”

As I said.

Although the Emperor was a mean person, he was not a person with evil tendencies.

I remember him as a decent person, acting only for the safety of the empire.

I don’t know why on earth you’re looking for me.

I’m sure you’re not trying to harm me in any way.

And since Godric had come to get me anyway, resistance was meaningless.

He was one of the strongest men in this world. Even if you resisted, you would eventually be captured by him.

“Follow me. We’ll go straight to the palace.”

“Just a moment.”

I looked at Godric, who was returning his gaze to my words, and spoke while pointing towards the door he had broken.

“You have to compensate for that.”

You destroyed your sister’s house and now you’re just going somewhere.
